Benny and PF play some notes . . .
Westward Ho!
PF here, back on what might very be the exact same Air Canada flight that we took 3 weeks ago. The flight crew are so polite and apologetic! I have been reading the Canadian National Post, offered free on the flight, trying to catch up on the news of the world. Hey, what's this? Breaking news! "Bear Tackles Hunter, Hunter Kills Bear." (real headline, I swear. Yes, it's below the fold, but it is on the front page). Man, we have missed a lot.
But then, so have you! Since my last post, we had three great gigs in Ireland. Well, one in the Republic of Ireland, and two in Northern Ireland. It's easy to tell the difference, because the road signs are in mileage in Northern Ireland, and in some totally silly base-10 system in the Republic of Ireland. I mean, come on: 1000 meters to a kilometer, 1000 millimeters to a meter, and so on? How does this make more sense than 12 inches to a foot and 5280 feet to a mile? It doesn't, and you know it!
It's actually a great mixture in the UK. It's all miles for length, but then Celsius for temperature, and kilograms at the grocery store, but then folks talk about their weights in stones! Stones! I'm not sure about my math, but I think I weigh 100 stone. Does that sound right?
Uh oh, the flight attendant just brought me coffee. I asked for sugar, and she brought me something called "Sucre." Is that some kind of Canadian poison? And one more thing about this National Post newspaper, almost every article that concerns international news has at least one paragraph that is essentially "would Canadians act this way?" I love it, they definitely are concerned with how they are perceived in relation to, in this case, Australians, Israelis, and, of course, 'Muricans! Oh little Canucks, yous guys are so earnest.
OK, back to business. All three of our Irish gigs were fabulous. It was too short a time, and we do hope we will get back there sooner than later, and spend more than 48 hours there. Special thanks to Shane at the Seamus Ennis Centre – Seamus Ennis, as near as I can tell (having done exactly zero hours of research), was kind of an Irish Alan Lomax who would travel around the countryside, sometimes on bike, to make wire recordings of old timers, collecting stories, tunes, and other cultural artifacts. Very cool. Our gig there was packed out, and it was absolutely pouring down rain – like, hurricane level rain, coming down at a 70 degrees angle.
Our gig in Bangor the following day was similarly wet, but do Irish folk let a little (lot) rain keep them from getting down during the daytime in an outdoor setting? Hell no! In the States, people would be running for the malls for fear that they might melt (oh what a world!). These folks just whipped out umbrellas (from where, who knows?), poured another round, and whooped it up! We got to see our pal Una, musician and sound engineer supreme, and collected some nice rocks from the shore.
We ended our Irish time with a gig at the Red Room in Cookstown, an experience that I cannot recommend high enough to musicians and fans alike. Arnie and Sharon live in a lovely house (that Arnie built himself) and have been putting on house shows for years. They gained such renowned that Arnie had to build a little barn next to the house. It's about as great a venue that a band such as ourselves could ever hope for. Lots of our pals have played there throughout the years, and it is yet another great combination of top notch hospitality and a high quality artistic experience.
We were warned that the crowd might be taken aback by our more . . . unique materials. However, we charmed them with some bluegrass and old time and then slowly started slipping in some left of center (excuse me, centre) pieces like Reminiscing, Hammer Time (working title for one of our new songs), and others.
After the gig, we hung out with most of the crowd, having snacks and drinking Arnie's homemade potìn. What's potìn, you ask? Well, for any of our pals who have ever drunk clear liquid from a Mason Jar, potìn should seem pretty familiar. It's basically Irish Moonshine (although the folks at the Red Room assert that Moonshine is just American Potìn). Arnie makes it in sloe, blackberry, raspberry, vanilla, and probably others. It is high test and excellent, and just perfect for bands who need to catch a ferry that's 90 minutes away at 10:30am the next day.
We made that ferry, you'll be happy to know, met our new pal Colin in Belfast, and took the boat back to Stranraer. On the way we saw some porpoises, gannets, and totally picturesque views of Ireland, Scotland, Aran, and Ailsa Craig – the "volcanic plug" where all the curling stones are harvested. Curling! For our thoughts on this excellent sport, see the blog entry from archives, wherein we are traveling during the Winter Olympics and learn the value of women's curling from some fine gentlemen in Eureka Springs, AR.
We ended up playing two more gigs that day – a little impromptu set at the Grapes in Stranraer – thanks again to Billy for hosting us – and then that night back in Edinburgh at our pal Naomi's Fringe Speakeasy Venue. People have remarked to us recently that we workee sooo hard, to which we reply, hell yes! Sometimes we get tired of being around one another, of course, just like any polyamorous married band; but one thing we never tire of is playing music with one another. If we have an opportunity – busking, last minute sessions, late night showcases – we are in!
Oh, we also never say no to a nice meal.
And now we are descending into Toronto, where we will, no doubt, be greeted with maple sugar garlands and poutin by the bowlful! We are well seasoned and ready for our August and September shows. Thanks to everyone who came and saw us over the last three weeks, and a special thanks to Bill, Sue, Leonie, Douglas, Jane-Ann, Nicholas, Sharon, Arnie, Rahel, Jonny, Kym, and all of our new pals. And, of course, Loudon, Brenda, and Gerry!
OOH! I almost forgot. While in Stranraer, our very own Graham "Chips 'n' Cheese" DeZarn was playing squeezebox in a park (not a euphimism) saw a car pulling a trailer with a fellow that was covered in black goo on the back. We asked Colin, our Stranraer emissary, about this, and he replied, as nonchalantly as if he was talking about a seagull or kilt wearing piper, "oh, you probably saw a blackening."
Turns out that it's a Scottish tradition to pull a potential bride or groom through the town, covered in fake tar and feathers, thereby preparing him or her for the horrors of marital bliss. Oh Scotland, just when we think we know everything, you go and show us something totally absurd!
Feeling all kinds of squishy nostalgic . . .
PF Et Al.

Don't get me wrong, Cairo is an amazing city, but it has come to my attention that its streets are littered with many less than desirable characters, including but not limited to:
-piles of trash
-cats, dead or alive
-discarded scraps of cloth
-dog droppings
-pages of discarded books, magazines and newspapers,
-and cigarette butts (with smoke to match).
Most noticeable, however, is the smell and sight of the heavy smog that blankets each and every alleyway, nook or cranny that I encounter on the streets. I'm sure that countless visitors and citizens of Cairo have felt this sense of exhaustion with the pollution of this bustling metro, but luckily for us there is an oasis within this desert city.
And so, several of us students set out to find Al-Alzhar, a public park located in downtown Cairo, which opened to the public in 2005 and is listed as one of the world's sixty greatest public spaces by the Project for Public Spaces. Upon entering the gates, and paying less than a dollar in admission, we were greeted by a large fountain and several pathways winding through the expansive area. After strolling down one of these avenues for a few minutes, I completely forgot that I was in downtown Cairo. The consistent bleating of car horns was softened by the surrounding hedges, and the natural beauty of a nearby pond and the green lawns was certainly a sight for city-sore eyes.
Of course, the visit wasn't entirely peaceful. Immediately upon entry, we were surrounded by a gaggle of young teenagers, who giggled constantly while trailing several steps behind us and asking repeatedly for photos. Eventually, one of our number acquiesced and posed for a young girl's camera, but it wasn't long before we were approached again, welcomed to Cairo and dragged into the frame of a digital photo. At almost every turn we were entreated to smile for the camera, and at one point found ourselves pulled into some sort of birthday parade. Very sneakily, we extricated ourselves and escaped to the nearby back roads in search of one of the many highlights of the park.
Eventually we happened upon one of the top lookout areas, and were rewarded with a beautiful pre-sunset view of Cairo just beyond the flora and fauna of Al-Azhar. It was an extremely peaceful and aesthetically pleasing way to view the city, seated on a stone wall surrounded by blooming flowers. It soon came time for us to return back to Zamalek for dinner, but I fully intend to return to this natural refuge from the chaos of Cairo.

If you plan on going out to the ballpark for the College World Series, you might want to keep your ATM card handy. There are some budget challenges in a day of baseball.
If you want to park anywhere within the zip code of the stadium, you will have to pay. Wear your walking shoes to save a few bucks.
Concession prices will run anywhere from $3.75 for a soft drink to $13 for the Reuben Sausage sandwich. A game program is $10 and it's $5 for lemonade.
The prices are high but they're about what the average family expects.
Tony Martucci of Omaha said, "They're about normal for any other event you go to, basketball, football. So, it's what you expect, it's what you expect."
You can pick up a souvenir T-shirt of ball cap from a number of vendors. Some clearance merchandise is as cheap as $5 to $10 or you could buy the top of the line like a polo for $70.
There are some bargains at the park. You can charge your cell phone for free.

the space connecting the testicles and the underside of the penis
I just sprayed shit all over my junction, the space around the corner from my anus between my penis and my balls.
Why does my junction smell like the swimming pool?
Why does my junction smell like the swimming pool?

A group of people gathering in a place where people would not ordinarily gather, in a way that inconveniences at least one person, though normally more than one.

Birthday Bash Blues 1 of 8
1. The Time Monopolizing
As far as Im concerned, my weekends are supposed to be for spending "fun" quality time with my children and husband and not dreadful, non-quality time watching other parents deal with their childs tantrums. So weekend parties completely wreck my plans. Its difficult enough to make it on time to the extracurricular classes like swimming, art and/or ballet. Pass.
Birthday Bash Blues 2 of 8
2. The "Party" Junk Food
Chips and dip and sugared drinks are a given with most parties. May as well drive through a fast food joint while youre at it. So if youre trying to keep your kid on balanced meals, kiddie parties will not make the cut. Pass.
Birthday Bash Blues 3 of 8
3. Socializing With A Mask
No, not the fun masquerade kind. Im talking about the frozen smile face you have on at a kids party, the kind that goes with the total inability to just relax and talk like humans. Ive rarely gone to a party where Ive had a decent conversation with another adult. Instead, the talk always snakes its way back to them monologuing about which milestones their kid has or hasn't reached. Okay, I get it, its important to most people, but I dont think that anyone cares to know that my seven-year-old gives me sass about brushing her teeth. Pass.
Birthday Bash Blues 4 of 8
4. Chuck E Cheese
Need I say more? Germs, cotton candy, and chaos all in one place. No thank you. Pass.
Birthday Bash Blues 5 of 8
5. A Waste of Money
If children are less than two years of age, are they really going realize that theyre having a birthday party? It simply seems like a moot point to me it's just another play date with the added balloons and cake. Pass.
Birthday Bash Blues 6 of 8
6. Piñatas
These are a sure guarantee that your kid will either be the one crying over not getting enough candy, be the one blamed for hogging all of the candy, or simply the one that gets clobbered by all the other kids trying to get to the candy. Trust me, Ive had all three happen to me with my three little ones. Not a fun or pretty sight. Pass.
Birthday Bash Blues 7 of 8
7. Sugar Highs
Is there anything more fun than taking a kid hopped up on sugar home to "relax"? How about three of them? No matter how much you may try to keep your kids away from the mini brownies, chocolate candy encrusted Krispy treats or downing four mini juice boxes, you cannot escape the sugar and neither can they. Pass.
So what do you think? Yay or Nay to Kiddie Parties?
Birthday Bash Blues 8 of 8

Tristam (real name Leandre Berube) is a Canadian producer on Monstercat. He was born on the 26th February of 1995.
He first appeared on the album 'Monstercat 004 - Identity' with the track 'Party For The Living'. Today this track has over 500 000 views on YouTube and is one of the most popular tracks on the album. However it wasn't until Tristam released his second track, 'Follow Me', that he became really famous on the Monstercat label. 'Follow Me' became the most viewed track on the Monstercat YouTube page until recently when it was beaten by Pegboard Nerds' 'Disconnected'. However 'Follow Me' was not the only release from Tristam on the album Monstercat 005 - Evolution as he and a friend of his, Rogue, released 'Pushed Away' just 9 days later. This was also Rogue's first release that was uploaded to Monstercat, today he is one of the larger artists on the label. However it appeared Tristam didn't seem satisfied enough on his amount of tracks on Monstercat 005 - Evolution as 16 days after his collaboration with Rogue he released 'Who We Are' . Representing an album with 3 tracks, Tristam still holds the record for the most amount of tracks released on the same Monstercat album. Tristam was also one of the first artists to get a track of his on the album Monstercat 006 - Embrace, this time with 'Undercat' using some help from Zealot in the song and he was also one of the artists to make the album complete when he released 'Talent Goes By' as the 18th song of the album out of 20. Monstercat 007 - Solace is seen by many as the best Monstercat album and Tristam did not disappoint with his appearance on the album, as the 17th track of the album, Tristam released I Remember, which is still seen today as one of the best songs not only on the album, but the Monstercat label. At this time Tristam was by no doubt the biggest artist on Monstercat however he took a break from releasing music.
Tristam then released 'Too Simple' in collaboration with Stephen Walking for Monstercat's album 008, however he did not release a track for 009. When the album Monstercat 010 - Conquest was being finalised, Tristam returned with something every Monstercat-fan holds close to their heart. Tristam's new track 'Truth' was what people had waited for. The "King of Monstercat" was back and better than ever. However, even though 'Truth' was such a great comeback for Tristam however was far away from being his biggest track, with around 3,000,000 YouTube views it is considered below "Tristam Standards". Tristam did not appear on 011 either but in the meantime, he was developing Flight , a collaboration with Braken, which is now the most listened song from the entire label on Spotify and is the only track from the Monstercat 012 - Aftermath album with over 1,000,000 views. Currently Flight is at 13 million views. He then released Razor Sharp, a collab Tristam made with Pegboard Nerds, which has reached over 6.5 million views on YouTube which is very high for Monstercat standards. This track was released on the 013 - Awakening album.
Tristam did not make a return for 014 nor 015, but did return for 016 with 2 new tracks, 'Till It's Over' and 'Once Again'. 'Till It's Over' currently stands with over 3 million views while 'Once Again' has received over 1.2 million views. Both songs contain a very Tristam feel to them and feature the infamous Tristam vocals. Tristam then returned in 017, releasing another collaboration with Braken, 'Frame of Mind'. 'Frame of Mind' is a Drum and Bass song that, once again, features Tristam vocals. The song has gained a substancial amount of views since it was released a month ago; the view count curently stands at 2.5 million views.

"You can't give a 9-year-old an Uzi and expect her to control it,"
DOLAN SPRINGS, Ariz. (AP) -- A 9-year-old girl accidentally killed an Arizona shooting instructor as he was showing her how to use an automatic Uzi, authorities said Tuesday.
Charles Vacca, 39, of Lake Havasu City, died Monday shortly after being airlifted to University Medical Center in Las Vegas, Mohave County sheriff's officials said.
Vacca was standing next to the girl at the Last Stop outdoor shooting range in White Hills when she pulled the trigger and the recoil sent the gun over her head, investigators said.
Authorities said the girl was at the shooting range with her parents. Her name was not released.
A woman who answered the phone at the shooting range said it had no comment. She did not provide her name.
It is not known if the range had an age limit on shooting or if the girl was going through a safety class.
Ronald Scott, a Phoenix-based firearms safety expert, said most shooting ranges have an age limit and strict safety rules when teaching children to shoot. He said instructors usually have their hands on guns when children are firing high-powered weapons.
"You can't give a 9-year-old an Uzi and expect her to control it," Scott said.

Big Bill Morganfield has the right lineage. His dad is, after all, the late, great Muddy Waters. Of course, being the son of a legend can be as much of a burden as a benefit living in constant comparison, always being referred to as junior (see: Sean Lennon, Ziggy Marley). But for Morganfield, all it takes is a few listens to convince those predisposed to assumptions of coattail-riding. This dude has the licks to prove his worth, from slide guitar-driven Delta blues to jazzier, Chicago-styled tunes. And though he titled his most recent album Blues in the Blood, Morganfield doesn't have to tell you who his dad was: His guitar does all the talking.
Big Bill Morganfield performs Thursday, October 12, at Alligator Alley, 1321 E. Commercial Blvd., Oakland Park. The first set begins at 8:30 p.m.; the second begins at 10. Tickets cost $12. Call 954-771-2220, or visit www.alligatoralleyflorida.com.

Ventura, California's Big Bad Voodoo Daddy sprung onto the pop-music radar during the late '90s' inexplicable swing revival (spurred on by the 1996 movie Swingers) despite the fact that they'd been playing the music since the late '80s. Like any good band that's been swept up into a fad, though, the groupa brass-heavy nine-piece in concerthas stuck to its guns, its members still donning their pinstripe zoot suits and fedoras for concerts. They even put out an album of Cab Calloway classics in 2009.

Re: WWE 2013 - A New Path
Glad to see you haven't forgotten about Ted DiBiase, and I am glad that you are going to be giving Ted a huge push because he deserves it in my opinion and I feel that after Legacy he should have had a huge push becoming the star out of that group but now that he is getting his push, it starts with DiBiase getting back on TV and going on a huge winning streak but DiBiase is a Smackdown guy since he got drafted over there

Re: WWE 2013 - A New Path
I'm all for a DiBiase push, but I think having him challenge the streak is a bit too far in my eyes. Realistically this could be Taker's penultimate Wrestlemania, so having him face a guy that hasn't been relevant in well over a year wouldn't go down brilliantly in my eyes. Plus, I do think it will be a very hard task to bring Ted up to that level where he can face Taker, in only a few weeks. MITB would be a much better place to start the push for DiBiase.
Anyway, Elimination Chamber was a good show, great effort for your first PPV and I look forward to seeing how the Road to Wrestlemania unfolds! Keep it up dude

Re: WWE 2013 - A New Path
February 18, 2013
CajunDome; Lafayette, Louisiana
Several screen caps of last nights Elimination Chamber are shown with commentary, giving the television audience a glimpse into what transpired at the pay per view. Everything was covered, but the focus was mainly put onto The Rock retaining the WWE Championship, John Cena forcing Shane McMahon to tap out and subsequently sending him through the announce table with an Attitude Adjustment and both Elimination Chamber matches, respectively. The screen cap montage ended with Alberto Del Rio retaining his World Heavyweight Championship, only to see his night was not over. After the match, the Big Show returned into the picture to deliver not only a Chokeslam but a Knockout Punch as well.
Michael Cole
The Champion is out cold. The Big Show has taken out the Champion, but at least Del Rio has retained his World Heav WAIT A MINUTE!
Im Here To Show The World rang out, more screen caps being shown of Dolph Ziggler racing down to the ring, Money In The Bank briefcase in his hand, cashing in on his World Title match. The next screen cap showed Ziggler landing the Zig Zag, before covering the Champion and getting the three count.
John Bradshaw Layfield
We have a new World Champion! Dolph Ziggler bided his time, but now he is back on top of the wrestling mountain.
The video package ended with a final glimpse of Dolph Ziggler on the shoulders of Big E Langston, celebrating as the new World Heavyweight Champion.
Monday Night Raw came LIVE from Lafayette, Louisiana, otherwise known as Cajun Country! The crowd was on its feet, roaring loudly ready for the fallout from the Elimination Chamber. Strobe lights flashed all around the arena, the camera panning around to show thousands of fans on their feet cheering for the start of the show. The television cameras then switched over to the commentary team of Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler
Michael Cole
Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Cajun Country! Monday Night Raw is coming to you live from Lafayette, Louisiana and tonight, King, we have a great show for everyone.
Jerry Lawler
Thats right Michael, we have all the fallout from last nights Elimination Chamber, plus weve just been informed that Money In The Bank qualifying matches will take place tonight as well.
Michael Cole
Thats right King, we also have important announcements from several superstars and, of course, with the results from last night, we can now confirm that both WWE Champion The Rock, and Number One Contender Brock Lesnar are in the arena tonight.
The theme music for the Chairman rang out, allowing the crowd to cheer even louder as the boss strutted out from behind the entrance curtain, looking around with a smug grin on his face. He took a moment to soak in the reception, his theme music dying off, before lifting a microphone up to his lips to address the audience.
Mr. McMahon
Well, how about that opening video, huh? Elimination Chamber seemed to be quite the exciting spectacle.
This was met with a loud applause.
Mr. McMahon
It seems all of you would agree with me. However, there was something from last night and from the past few weeks that, quite frankly, did not have yours truly too excited. Maybe it was just me, but it seems like the inmates have begun to take over the asylum here on Monday nights. So, with that being said I would like to bring out the General Manager, Vickie Guerrero
Even the mere mention of Vickies name sent a chorus of boos echoing from the CajunDome, seemingly nobody wanting her to make an appearance. Vince patiently waited for a few moments before slowly turning to see Vickie stepping out into view, eyeing the Chairman with a look of confusion and fear. She shrugged her shoulders, not really understanding why she was being summoned, but it would appear that answer was about to be revealed.
Mr. McMahon
Vickie, dont worry, your job isnt in jeopardy at least, not yet. I simply wanted you to come out to be here first hand for this announcement that is going to, well, shake the foundation of this brand. You see, whether it be my son showing up unannounced, The Shield attacking anyone they please at any time, or superstars returning without my knowledge, Monday Night Raw needs a bit of a shake up. Maybe shake up is the wrong word, but it needs something to keep order, or someone. Which is why I have asked an individual to step in and do just that and, well, instead of me introducing this person, why not let you do it, itll give you a chance to bond with this person, seeing as how you two will be working together.
Vickie still looked on at Vince a bit nervous at who this individual might be. Vince stepped over to her and lowered his microphone to give to her, before whispering into her ear the name of the new Co General Manager, or whatever job title this person would take. Her facial expression was priceless for the television cameras to capture, her eyes closing as she shook her head, seemingly in horror at who this person would be. The cameras picked up Vince ushering her to go on, Vickie, slowly and reluctantly, bringing the microphone up.
Vickie Guerrero
Th-the man who will be ste-stepping in to assist me with Mo-Monday Night Raw is
Before she could even finish and name the person, the WWE Universe got to find out.
The roof nearly came off of the CajunDome as Stone Cold Steve Austin made his way out to the sheer delight of everyone in attendance and more than likely, everyone who was watching at home. Stone Cold stared around at the sold out crowd who were on their feet before walking over towards Vince and Vickie, actually shaking the Chairmans hand as he seemed to be enjoying the agony that Vickie seemed to be in over this decision. She just shook her head, screaming in anger at this decision as Stone Cold grinned cockily as she stormed off, still screaming at the top of her lungs. This brought laughter from Austin and Vince, the Chairman strutting around the entrance way, quite happy with himself as Austin turned and looked at him. As if anyone expected anything less, the moment Vince turned around, that grin faded as he saw the look in Austins eyes, immediately being booted in the gut and nailed with a
Stone Cold Stunner
! Stone Cold got back up to his feet, raising his arms into the air for another loud ovation, before looking back at Vince and laughing as the cameras faded to a commercial break.
Commercial Break
Opening Contest Money In The Bank Qualifier Singles Match
Antonio Cesaro
Zack Ryder
-The crowd was still buzzing over the return of Stone Cold, but they were in for a solid opening contest as the former United States Champion, Antonio Cesaro, took on the Internet Champion, Zack Ryder. Cesaro, fresh off his rather confusion defeat to Xavier Woods at last nights pay per view, seemed to be in no mood to lose two nights in a row, as he took it to Ryder in the early going. However, the crowd soon got behind Ryder, causing him to fight back and give Cesaro a run for his money. But, in the end, Cesaro was just too much for Ryder, who fell victim to
The Neutralizer
before being pinned, Cesaro becoming the first superstar to qualify for WrestleManias Money In The Bank Ladder Match.-
Winner Antonio Cesaro
After the contest was over, Antonio Cesaro demanded a microphone from the ring announcer, before returning to the center of the ring to address the WWE Universe. He gave an explanation as to why he walked out on his US Title rematch last night at the Elimination Chamber, saying that he deserves better than to be the US Champion. Cesaro finishes by saying that he will take his rightful place in this company, that being the WWE Champion, by taking the first step and winning the Money in the Bank match at WrestleMania. His theme music quickly re-hit the P.A System, Antonio dropping the microphone as another loud chorus of booing rained down on him from the Louisiana crowd.
In the backstage area we find Josh Matthews standing by with Kurt Angle. He is asked about last nights match involving John Cena and Shane McMahon and the look on Angles face seemingly told the whole story. Angle was absolutely infuriated with what transpired last night and told Matthews that John Cena will get his punishment for what he did. Kurt said that he was brought in to light a fire under Cena, well now that fire seems to be lit and its become about far more than just that. Angle said that Cena might not even make it to WrestleMania, but if he did, then Kurt would finish what hes started on the grandest stage.
Commercial Break
After the WrestleMania video package finished, Ted DiBiase was shown standing in the backstage area alongside his father, The Million Dollar Man and Hall of Famer, Ted DiBiase Sr. Matt Striker asked the younger DiBiase why his father was here and Ted answered by telling him that it was time that the WWE Universe got a history lesson. A reminder of what a true legacy the DiBiase name was. With the help of his father, Ted was going to make sure that the DiBiase name went down in history as the greatest wrestling family in professional wrestling and it started tonight.
Match Two Money In The Bank Qualifier Singles Match
Ted DiBiase
-With his father at ringside, Ted seemed to come out with even more purpose than he had in recent weeks. He took the fight to R-Truth, showing off his in-ring ability and impressively disposing of R-Truth throughout the contest. While Truth managed to rally back and send DiBiase reeling on multiple occasions, Ted was not going to be denied as he locked in the
Million Dollar Dream
and forced R-Truth to submit. Once the referee called for the bell, DiBias then converted it and delivered
Dream Street
, adding insult to injury.-
Winner Ted DiBiase
Both DiBiases stood inside the squared circle, father raising sons arm in the air to the dismay of the sold out crowd. The Million Dollar man let out one of his infamous laughs, DiBiase just looking around with a smug, arrogant grin after qualifying for Money in the Bank at WrestleMania.
A quick flashback is shown to the opening of the show, Vince McMahon forcing Vickie Guerrero to make the shocking announcement that she would have to share her General Manager duties with someone. Thats when the Glass Shattered, sending shockwaves throughout the WWE Universe as the Texas Rattlesnake had returned to the WWE! Austins return was capped off with, what else, a stunner to the Chairman, Vince McMahon followed by a roar of cheers and smile and laugh from Stone Cold.
Cult of Personality
hit the P.A System as CM Punk made his way out from behind the entrance curtain, staring around at the sold out crowd who poured in boo after boo in his direction. He made his way down to the squared circle, climbing inside and being handed a microphone from the ring announcer. The crowd was already preparing itself to listen to the excuses as to why Punk failed to recapture the WWE Championship, but this would not be why CM Punk was out here.
CM Punk
Im sure all of you think I am coming out here to say that I was screwed out of winning the WWE Championship. While I blatantly had The Rock down for far more than a three count, that is not why I have come down to this ring. There will be other opportunities to win back MY WWE Championship, but this this opportunity comes around only once. And no, I am not talking about The Undertaker and his WrestleMania Streak
A pop from the crowd at the mention of The Undertaker.
CM Punk
You see, earlier tonight we witnessed the return of Stone Cold Steve Austin
There was yet another massive cheer for the mention of Stone Cold which forced CM Punk to lower the microphone and stroll around the squared circle for a few moments. Once the crowd quieted down, it allowed Punk to continue.
CM Punk
Now I understand this business and I understand this company. I understand the attraction and the draw that Stone Cold Steve Austin brings, but there comes a time when superstars need to step back out of the spotlight, admit that their time is over and stay away. But, obviously Steve wants to relive the glory days. Yeah, he wants to strut around, give a few Stunners, give a few birds and drown himself in the poison that is alcohol, all so you little puppets will scream and cheer. Stone Cold Steve Austin is nothing more than an attention-seeking hack. There is no place in this company for Stone Cold and if he, or any of you people, thinks that just because he has suddenly been given power on Monday Night Raw, that thats going to make me shut up and toe the company line well then obviously you dont know CM Punk very well.
Punk stared straight forward toward the main television camera, his eyes not shifting away to anything else as he continued on.
CM Punk
Steve can parade around all he once, but I am telling you all now if he sticks that big bald head of his into any of my business, then so help me I will make sure he goes to sleep. I know that Steves ego wont allow him to just heed my warning, so trust me, actions will be taken and I will not feel any remorse for those actions.
His theme music re-hit the P.A System, CM Punk slowly lowering the microphone and stared forward as the booing continued. He finally dropped the microphone and exited the squared circle, making his way into the backstage area as Raw faded to another commercial break.
Commercial Break
Match Three Non Title Tag Team Match Normal Tag
PrimeTime Players
Primo & Epico
-The newly crowned Tag Team Champions certainly wanted to show that they were indeed the best tag team in the WWE today. Meanwhile, Primo & Epico knew that they would be in line for a tag title shot with a victory. Both teams brought out all the stops, battling back and forth as each superstar showed off their skill set for the audience watching. In the end, it was the PrimeTime Players who came out on top when ONeil delivered the
Clash of the Titus
on Epico and got the pinfall.-
Winners The PrimeTime Players
The two men were handed their Tag Team Titles as they began to dance in the center of the ring. Backstage the WWE Champion was standing by with Josh Matthews. He was asked about the monumental match that was set for WrestleMania involving The Rock and Brock Lesnar; The Rock responded by telling Matthews that it certainly was a must-see match, two gigantic superstars going toe to toe at the granddaddy of them all, WrestleMania. The Rock has had his fair share of history with Brock, but this was a whole different scenario, this was WrestleMania, this was the chance to immortalize yourself, forever and The Rock, who has done it all, was going to add one more thing to his long legacy, whooping Brock Lesnars candy ass in the main event of WrestleMania!
Almost simultaneously as The Rock finished his promo, the cameras switched over to Matt Striker who was standing by with Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar, both of whom were watching the nearby flat-screen having just watched The Rocks speech. As they both turned back around, Heyman shook his head, Brock merely smirking while Striker asked Heyman about what he just witnessed. Heyman told Striker that he agreed with The Rock on one thing, that this match was a must-see contest with two gigantic superstars, legends even, of this industry. However, history is always written by the victor and the story of WrestleMania 29 was going to be written by the NEW WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar!
Match Four Money in the Bank Qualifier Singles Match
Shelton Benjamin
-Kane seemed to be on a mission tonight, seemingly still being very frustrated and angered over losing the tag titles at the Elimination Chamber. He squashed Shelton in the early going, using his size and strength to wear down Benjamin, who could not get away from the Big Red Machine. After a few minutes, Benjamin settled in and started to mount some offense of his own, showing off his tremendous athleticism and technical ability. Back and forth the action went, both men scoring near fall after near fall. Daniel Bryan made an appearance at the finish, distracting Kane and allowing Shelton to roll up the Big Red Machine and get the three count!-
Winner Shelton Benjamin
After the bell had sounded, Kane shot up to a vertical base, looking around absolutely stunned as Shelton quickly got out of the ring to avoid any damage. Bryan just stared toward his former tag team partner, the two men now locking eyes as Daniel shook his head, mouthing something toward Kane that the cameras didnt pick up. Kane slammed his arms on the ring ropes in utter frustration and anger, almost at the boiling point.
Commercial Break
Back from the break it was Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler who highlighted all the things we had seen thus far in the evening, including the monumental return of Stone Cold Steve Austin, as well as three Raw Superstars qualifying for Money in the Bank at WrestleMania. From there, they discussed WrestleMania which would be held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey before taking a look at another video package.
Vickie Guerrero and Stone Cold Steve Austin were shown backstage in what would appear to be their shared office, Vickie still not enjoying the fact that Steve was now her Co-General Manager on Raw. However, she was quick to needle Austin about Punks comments earlier in the night, telling Steve that he better watch out, because Punk doesnt play around. Her annoying laugh caused Austin to grimace slightly, before telling Vickie that he, just like Punk, doesnt play around and just to prove it, he was putting CM Punk in a match tonight against Rey Mysterio. But, he was not finished, he then announced that there would be a special guest referee and it would be none other than Stone Cold himself!
John Cena stood by with Josh Matthews and he talked about what a tremendous pay per view the Elimination Chamber was and how huge of a Monday Night Raw tonight had been already, with the return of Stone Cold and various other things. He was then asked about Kurt Angles comments, in which Cena replied that he understands the frustration and anger Angle must be going through, because it was Kurt Angle and Shane McMahon who made him feel that anger and frustration. All John was doing, was returning the favor. He said that Kurt Angle can come at him all he wants, because hes not backing down and hes not hiding, but if he does come then he better bring an army, because when John Cena finally gets his hands on Kurt Angle, its going to be a beating that Angle will never forget.
Commercial Break
Another grainy, self-shot video of The Shield aired over the TitanTron as all three members introduced themselves. They talked about how the Elimination Chamber managed to change their perspective on a couple of things. While they were still in the WWE to clean up the injustice, they figured it was about time they started further taking the WWE over by storm. Before the video ended, The Shield announced that next week on Raw, they would be making a special live appearance to discuss some things openly with the WWE Universe and dared anyone to come out and try to stop them. The handheld camera was placed back on the floor, the three men walking away as it cut off.
Main Event Special Guest Referee Singles Match
CM Punk
Rey Mysterio
Special Guest Referee Stone Cold Steve Austin
-The match started off with CM Punk cagey, keeping his focus on Stone Cold in the beginning before beating down Mysterio to start the contest, so that he could mouth a few words to Austin, who just sat back in the corner with a smirk. Punk went back to grounding the high flyer, continuing to taunt Austin in the process. It was all this taunting that allowed Mysterio to gain the upper-hand, landing several huge high risk moves to Punk. While the referee is supposed to call the contest right down the middle, several instances were clearly shown in favor of Mysterio, which infuriated Punk. The former WWE Champion managed to regain the advantage and wear down Rey once more, only to see the underdog continued to fight and claw his way back into the contest. The two men traded offense from there, gaining several near falls before ultimately seeing CM Punk connect with two straight
! He covered the lifeless body of Mysterio, staring into the eyes of Austin with a crazed look before demanding he make the count. Stone Cold had no choice and very slowly counted the three.-
Winner CM Punk
The bell sounded, CM Punk standing up onto his feet and demanding Stone Cold raise his hand. He continued to tap his wrist, yelling in Austins face to raise his hand, Stone Cold finally obliging and raising it. Punk arrogantly grinned only to be booted in the gut and nailed with a
Stone Cold Stunner
! Monday Night Raw faded off the air with Austin parading around to all four corners, guzzling down his cans of beer, even stopping to dump a can onto the body of CM Punk before continuing on his way.

Re: WWE 2013 - A New Path
PWInsider - WM Plans, Nixes & More
-Following the unexpected return of Stone Cold Steve Austin, it would seem that the WWE has pulled the trigger on a CM Punk vs. Steve Austin match at WrestleMania. However, look for Stone Cold to remain in his 'Co-GM' role past WrestleMania, then again, plans can always change.
-The WWE could've gone either way with CM Punk, but now that they have ultimately decided to go with the Punk/Austin program, this leaves The Undertaker out of WrestleMania. Creative had planned on Ted DiBiase taking on the Deadman, but soon nixed the idea considering the limited time they had to push DiBiase into a credible threat to break the streak. Ultimately DiBiase was placed in the MITB match and now creative seems to have put themselves in a real jam for Undertaker's next WrestleMania opponent.
-Several names have been discussed for The Undertaker's next WrestleMania feud, which will surely begin this week on SmackDown. Randy Orton, Mark Henry, Jack Swagger and Wade Barrett have all been brought up, so don't be surprised if it's one of them...and even The Shield have been brought up in this scenario for The Undertaker, so don't count out anything just yet.
Monday Night Raw Review
-The return of Stone Cold was shocking to every fan watching and even most of the talent backstage. The WWE higher-ups kept this return a secret and managed to sneak Austin into the arena, relatively undetected. Given what transpired between the two on Raw, a Punk/Austin match seems to be in the works for WrestleMania XXIX, which would add to the already massive singles matches involving Lesnar/Rock & Angle/Cena.
-Three superstars from Raw have already qualified for MITB at WM and three are expected to qualify from SmackDown this Friday, which leaves two spots still open for the announced Eight-Man ladder match. Creative apparently are going to keep those two spots a secret and they won't be revealed into either the MITB Match itself, or the week prior to 'Mania.
-Next week on Raw, The Shield have been scheduled to appear live inside the squared circle and it's believed that we will be seeing more of them in in-ring action leading into WrestleMania and beyond. WWE Creative, and possibly more importantly Vince McMahon, is extremely high on all three members of The Shield, so don't be surprised if you start seeing Championship pushes for all three men after WrestleMania.
Friday Night SmackDown Preview
-Money in the Bank Qualifying Matches will be taking place this Friday night. Three in total, which would bring the MITB Head-Count up to Six by the end of the evening, leaving two spots still up for grabs. Becoming Mr. Money In The Bank has a great track record in becoming a future WWE or World Heavyweight Champion, so with so much on the line, you can rest assured that these three contests will have each superstar pulling out all the stops.
-Speaking of Money in the Bank, at the Elimination Chamber pay per view, Dolph Ziggler finally cashed in his MITB Contract and ultimately became the World Heavyweight Champion. The fallout from the tremendous night stars this Friday and General Manager Booker T has announced that Alberto Del Rio will be making an announcement to kick off the show. With a rematch clause still looming for Del Rio, will he choose to exercise that clause right away or wait for a later date?
-With so many big name superstars in attendance, this fallout episode of Friday Night SmackDown should bring all the action and drama any wrestling fan could ever want. Will we see a World Heavyweight Championship match? Who will emerge and qualify for Money in the Bank? These are only some of the questions that will be answered this Friday night on SmackDown!

Re: WWE 2013 - A New Path
So happy that Stone Cold Steve Austin is back and that he is in charge of RAW along with Vickie, but I want to see Austin around more often and in charge because I would rather Steve be the GM of RAW than Vickie because at this point she is just played out and it is better suited for her to be someone's manager/valet
But I hope Stone Cold crosses paths with both The Rock and Brock Lesnar, but also that he also crosses paths with CM Punk
Love that DiBiase is back on the stage and also that he has his father The Million Dollar Man Ted Sr. as his valet/manager because I think that will really help elevate Ted to where he is supposed to be and I just hope DiBiase has a good showing when it comes to Money in the Bank, hell he could even be a favorite to win the match
Glad Cena/Angle is happening
But I really hope Undertaker returns soon

Dolph Ziggler retains the World Title
-To start the show, Del Rio announced that he would be using his rematch clause tonight on Friday Night SmackDown, which brought delight to the sold out crowd.
-With Booker T still recovering from the assault by Wade Barrett a couple of weeks ago, the interim GM was Teddy Long, who had brief discussions with the likes of Ryback and Wade Barrett. Ryback told Long that he wanted to make sure Dolph Ziggler was all his for WrestleMania, even if that meant taking out Big E himself. As for Barrett, Long made it clear, if he laid a finger on Teddy he would be stripped of the IC Title.
-An Anonymous, eerie video aired over the TitanTron
(see video in previous post)
which showed the arrival of a potential new superstar and diva to the WWE.
-Randy Orton, Carlito and John Morrison had a run-in following their matches, each man staring down the other before explaining why they would be the next MITB.
-Following the Main Event, ADR was absolutely livid at winning the match, but not being awarded the World Title. He was attacked by Big E Langston when he was on the verge of winning. As Ziggler and Big E celebrated, interim General Manager Teddy Long announced that this was not over. However, instead of restarting the match, he was instead going to give Del Rio another opportunity, by adding him to the World Title Match at WrestleMania!
sorry for the quick results, but I lost all of my SD and Raw shows, so Raw will also be in this form unfortunately.

Re: WWE 2013 - A New Path
Monday Night Raw - February 25
Quick Results Again
Tune Up Match - Singles Match
Kurt Angle
Yoshi Tatsu
-Angle cut a promom before the match, but the match itself did not last long and was a chance for Kurt to showcase all of his abilities. He treated Yoshi like a ragdoll, doing whatever he pleased, before ultimately landing an Angle Slam before forcing him to tap out with the Angle Lock.-
Raw MITB Showcase - Singles Match
Ted DiBiase w/ Ted DiBiase Sr.
Shelton Benjamin
-Both men put on a technical display, going back and forth. Several near falls were made by both men, but in the end it was The Million Dollar man who helped his son gain the victory, tripping and distracting Benjamin so DiBiase could land Dream Street and get the three.-
WWE Divas Championship - Singles Match
AJ Lee w/ Dolph Ziggler & Big E Langston
-Kaitlyn was always busy keeping her eyes on Big E and Dolph on the outside, which allowed AJ Lee to get the upper hand throughout the contest. Kaitlyn always managed to fire back on her opponent and was close on several occasions to retaining the title, but either AJ kicked out or Langston or Dolph aided her in some way. So it was no surprise when Ziggler intervened and distracted Kaitlyn, getting a slap for his troubles, only to have AJ Lee roll her up and get the victory.-
Singles Match
Dean Ambrose
Kofi Kingston
-The Shield was banned from ringside by Stone Cold Steve Austin, which allowed Kofi to relax and focus solely on Dean Amrbose. The crowd got their enjoyment seeing Kingston take it to The Shield member, but that was short lived as Ambrose took control and eventually landed the Midnight Special and pinned Kofi.-
Main Event - Tag Team Match
Brock Lesnar & CM Punk w/ Paul Heyman
John Cena & The Rock
-In a monumental tag team contest, these four superstars had an atmosphere that could almost rival WrestleMania. Each man got their chance to display their wrestling, strength and whatever else they pleased. Paul Heyman got involved several times, before being planted by The Rock, which allowed Lesnar to gain the advantage and nail Rock with an F-5 and get the three count!-
-Kurt Angle kicked off the show with a promo regarding John Cena. He told the crowd that he would make sure that John Cena suffered twice the amount he made Shane McMahon suffer at the Elimination Chamber. But, tonight, he needed to let off some steam and anger and warm up for his match at WrestleMania.
-The Shield entered from their usual place and got inside the ring. They told the WWE Universe that while they were unsuccessful, to an extent, inside the Elimination Chamber as far as a victory was concerned, they succeeded in proving that they are one of the greatest forces this company has ever seen. From here, The Shield wanted to reach new heights, claim Championships, but most importantly, bring forth the biggest injustice inside this company...The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak! They traded mic time, discussing how selfish and how ridiculous The Undertaker was and had become over the past two decades and it was time for a change. Which was why, next week on SmackDown, they would make a special appearance and call out The Deadman, personally!
-Antonio Cesaro was at ringside during the DiBiase/Benjamin contest and commentated along with Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler. He put over all of his opponents in the Money In The Bank contest, at the same time giving them little digs here and there, before putting over himself in regards to who was the best superstar in the match and who would win. Following the conclusion, DiBiase and Cesaro had a bit of a stare down with one another, each man smirking arrogantly towards the other as they jawed back and forth.
-Vickie Guerrero and Stone Cold Steve Austin announced the matches of Dean Ambrose vs. Kofi Kingston, Austin plugging in that the rest of The Shield was banned from ringside, as well as Rock/Cena vs. Punk/Lesnar. Vickie was quick to joke about Austin having to take Punk's verbal abuse last week, before having to count his victory. Stone Cold snapped back with the fact that he delivered a Stone Cold Stunner to Punk and would do it again if needed.
-After AJ Lee was crowned the new Diva's Champion she celebrated with her newly won title as well as Ziggler and Langston, only to be interuppted by the returning Mickie James! The crowd erupted as AJ Lee looked on in shock. Kaitlyn then proceeded to dump Lee to the outside where Mickie Lou Thez Pressed her and landed several forearms before being seperated by Ziggler and Langston. The three of them quickly exited the scene, Mickie and Kaitlyn embracing as the crowd cheered.
-CM Punk cut a lengthy promo in regards to how last week ended and Stone Cold's overall career. He gave Austin his credit in some cases, but would always put the Texas Rattlesnake down when it came to doing anything in this era, especially to CM Punk. The Straight Edge star then got real serious, not liking the fact that Austin poured beer on him last week and promised him that retribution would be coming.
-Kaitlyn was shown talking to Stone Cold in the back, along with Mickie James. Austin said he was quite impressed with the way both women handled themselves out there after the contest and decided to give Kaitlyn her rematch for the Diva's Championship, but also grant Mickie James a spot in the match as well! The two women looked at one another before nodding, not seeming to have to much of a problem with the decision.
-Later on in the night, Paul Heyman stood by with both of his clients, CM Punk and Brock Lesnar. He told both men that while they both have bigger ambitions, that they needed to focus on tonight, otherwise, people would just over look all they had done up until this point. They would overlook all of what Brock had done and they would constantly needle Punk, saying he couldn't beat The Rock. Both men seemed to react strong to the 'pep-talk' as they looked toward one another, still not knowing what to make of the other.

Re: WWE 2013 - A New Path
- I have been loving DiBiase Jr. ever since he has come back on to the scene and especially with his father The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase Sr. in his corner as his manager because DiBiase Jr. is now meant to be the star he should have always been and he is well on his way to doing just that winning yet another match especially after qualifying for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match but then winning another match with DiBiase beating Shelton Benjamin all be it with help from his father but nevertheless DiBiase is my pick to win Money in the Bank because everyone everyone has a price for the DiBiase family HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
- Kurt Angle back on RAW and in his first match back, it wasn't even like it was close, it was a squash match a decisive victory over Yoshi Tatsu making him tap out to the Ankle Lock, definitely a direct message sent there towards Cena
- AJ is the new WWE Divas Champion beating Kaitlyn for the title, I love it because now it sets up Kaitlyn vs AJ for WrestleMania 29 and they are going to be in New York/New Jersey at MetLife Stadium in AJ's home state of New Jersey in AJ's backyard with her as the WWE Divas Champion, she is going to have the crowd on her side there with Kaitlyn being in hostile territory but I love how AJ won the title all be it with help from her boyfriend the World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler and Big E. Langston in tow to distract Kaitlyn long enough for AJ to take full advantage and now AJ & Dolph have championship gold
- Dean Ambrose beats Kofi, I love it, because even apart in singles matches The Shield still look dominant and impressive as a unit and also collectively in their own right but The Shield they must be either crazy or stupid for wanting to go up against Undertaker at WrestleMania 29 facing Taker for his Streak but The Shield have proven that they do have what it takes to beat anyone on any given night but to call out The Dead Man, I have no ideea about that
- Brock Lesnar & CM Punk defeating The Rock and Cena, I love it because it gives both Lesnar and Punk even more momentum heading towards WrestleMania and Lesnar has gotten one over on The Rock yet again while Cena is losing momentum as far as Angle is concerned while Punk may be proving himself where Austin is concerned

Re: WWE 2013 - A New Path
Friday Night SmackDown SuperShow March 1
Due To Unforseen Events...Quick Results, Yay!
Opening Contest - Singles Match
Titus O'Neil w/ Darren Young
JTG w/ Shad Gaspard
-A small preview of the Tag Team Title match scheduled for WrestleMania saw Titus and JTG duke it out in singles action. Neither man wanted their respective opponent to gain momentum heading towards the monumental pay per view, so they both came out with a point and purpose. O'Neil, however, was the man who succeeded with the help of Darren Young's distraction he managed to deliver the Clash of the Titus to JTG and get the victory.-
Match Two - Singles Match
Mickie James
-The return to a WWE ring couldn't have gone more smoothly for Mickie James as she took on Aksana. She gave Mickie little resistence, James having her way with the woman for most of the contest. Aksana managed to have some moments of offense, but was eventually hit with a Tornado DDT by Mickie, who got the three count.-
Match Three - Intrabrand MITB Showcase
Antonio Cesaro
John Morrison
-The first installent of Raw Superstars invading Friday Nights saw the Monday show take the first battle. In a thrilling contest with back and forth action, including several high risk moves by Morrison to wow the audience, it was Cesaro who escaped the contest with the victory. It was not easy, both men nearly winning the match on several different occasions, but Antonio blocked Morrison's Starship Pain attempt, before landing the Neutralizer.-
Match Four - Tag Team Match
Dolph Ziggler & Big E Langston
Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara
-The World Champion and his bodyguard were put in action by Teddy Long against the high flying tandum of Mysterio and Cara. The two masked men were on the offensive from the opening bell, keeping the other two men guessing throughout with their beautiful aerial displays. Eventually, like all high flyers, they were caught mid air and slammed down. In the end, it was Langston who delivered a violent Powerbomb to Sin Cara and pinned him, Ziggler holding Mysterio from breaking up the pin attempt.-
Match Five - Intrabrand MITB Showcase
Randy Orton
Ted DiBiase
-Quite possibly the hottest superstar on either roster over the past few weeks has been Ted DiBiase. But, tonight, with his father banned from ringside by Teddy Long, he had to go one on one with his former mentor, Randy Orton. The two former Legacy members battled it out, knowing each others attacks almost as well as their own. While DiBiase more than held his own against The Viper, Orton was too much and landed an RKO to secure his win.-
Main Event -
Seth Rollins w/ Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose
-The Royal Rumble winner was given the chance to exact a little revenge on the trio that had made his life hell over the past couple of months. While he couldn't get his hands on all three of them, he could focus solely on Rollins and that he did. While Ambrose and Reigns took it upon themselves to get involved and allow Rollins to gain the upper hand, Ryback continued to push on and fight back. Seth Rollins looked more than impressive but just when Ryback hoisted Rollins into the air for the Future Shock, the other members of The Shield hit the ring, forcing the referee to disqualify Rollins and call for the bell.-
-Friday Night SmackDown kicked off with The Shield inside the squared circle. The three men introduced themselves for the sold out crowd, before again bringing up why they have decided to come to SmackDown. They talked about The Undertaker and everything that he had accomplished in the company, but they said that he had never faced something that had been assembled like the three men inside the ring. From there, they issued a challenge to The Undertaker for WrestleMania, only to get no response, which brought smug grins on their faces. They called Taker a coward, scared to receive his due process, because he knew that The Shield would bring justice.
-Teddy Long was shown backstage as he announced that tonight there would be a twist in the show. A few superstars from Raw were invited to participate in a cross-brand showcase, he said. Long then revealed the superstars, before telling them their individual opponents, before telling DiBiase that his father was banned from ringside for his contest with Orton.
-Several superstars cut 'short and to the point' promos either regarding their matches tonight or at WrestleMania in over a months time. Everyone from Ziggler and AJ Lee, discussing their recent Championship victories, to Ryback and Del Rio confronting one another backstage and talking about how they would be the one to walk out of WM as the World Champion. But, they managed to agree on one thing, Dolph Ziggler was in for the beating of his life. Even Wade Barrett made a promo inside the ring, saying how ever since he won the Intercontinental Title, he has felt under appreciated for everything he has done. Then the three SmackDown MITB participants each got their turn to talk about the MITB Contest and how they would be victorious.
-Following the disqualification of Seth Rollins in the Main Event, The Shield continued their 3-on-1 assault of Ryback before a huge
hit the P.A System. The three men spun around as the lights dimmed, the crowd erupting for the arrival of The Deadman. While The Undertaker did not appear the TitanTron lit up showing an eerie video package, before switching and showing all of the superstars The Undertaker has defeated at WrestleMania, before returning to a live shot of The Shield inside the ring, the date of WrestleMania 29 flashing across the TitanTron, signaling the accepting of the challenge!
as the title says, due to unforseen circumstances, I will be posting SD and Raw in quick results again before taking care of some things and returning to this. sorry for the shit shows lately, but, what can you do.

However, there will also be special grownup events and amenities, including burlesque performances from Queenie Von Curves and Switch the Boi Wonder, drink deals, and cocktails.

Jessica Wittenbrink: Beauty Pageant Winner, Victimby Mischalova at . Comments
Jessica Wittenbrink was crowned Miss South Florida Saturday night.
But what would a beauty pageant be without a bit of controversy, right Katie Rees? Know what we mean, Ingrid Marie Rivera? Don't you agree, Tara Conner?
In this latest beauty pageant scandal, a $3,400 dress belonging to Wittenbrink was found vandalized backstage in the middle of Saturday night's event, leading to a police inquiry and questions about how the situation was handled.
Seen here, Jessica Wittenbrink is wearing the dress that was later found to be smeared with lipstick.
Wittenbrink did eventually win the competition - along with $6,000 in cash, scholarship money and the opportunity to compete in the Miss Florida - rendering this scandal a bit less... scandalous.
Moreover, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said there was not enough ''conclusive evidence'' to name a suspect, whether it was one of the pageant contestants or an outsider.
"Unless new information presents itself, the case is going to be inactive,'' said Sgt. Pete Palenzuela, a PBSO spokesman.
Jessica radiates beauty not only from the outside but the in as well. You would see that if you weren't so shallow. Not all beauty queens HAVE to be pretty because beauty doesn't come from just the outside. There are a few terms I am sure you have never heard, one such as, "True beauty lies within" Jessica IS beautiful on the outside but even if she weren't, she would still glow with outward beauty. Just because you have self esteem issues it doesnt mean you have to project them onto other people.
Okay, all beauty pageant winners need to be pretty, and she's not... even under all that make-up. I would definitely think she just did it herself for the attention.

Why Preston Wright chose San Ignacio
San Ignacio is the center for many great cultures, fine foods, friendly people, amazing nature, and rich educational experiences.
What makes this cottage unique
A private boutique resort hotel for one family surrounded by lush gardens and rich wildlife. Not your usual gated condo type of vacation.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Our friend Dani's parents came down to San Ignacio for a week. They stayed at a cottage called Kumquat Cottage. We all got to meet them on Friday night when they invited the whole UVM crew to the place for a barbeque and some fun! Dani's dad, also known as the grill master, grilled us up some fresh tilapia and shrimp kabobs while everyone else brought a dish for dinner. Dani's parents were hilarious; we all had so much fun! Her dad made a bocce ball set out of some rocks and limes so that kept us entertained for most of the evening. There was even a dance off between Dani's dad and one of our people at one point. We had so much fun at the cottage that our group has decided to rent Kumquat out on the last weekend we're here in Belize as a final hoorah. Below are some pictures.

Phone bugging scandal reignited as NotW suspends reporter
New allegations of phone hacking at the News of the World have resulted in the suspension of one of the Sunday paper's reporters, pending legal and disciplinary action over allegations of tapping into the voicemail messages of an unnamed television personality. A detailed investigation by the New York Times has reignited a …
Voicemail PIN
If high profile people cannot be bothered to change the PIN to their voicemail they shouldn't be terribly surprised that hacks dial in to their voicemail. Hacks are known to be pretty good at getting to info they want. If you leave default security level in place that a five year old could work out, a journo isn't going to have too much of a struggle to listen to your messages.
Sure, it's not legal, but if there was a general default email password on accounts that nobody bothered to change and hacks logged into that, we might be asking questions of the "victim", and why they made it so easy, and not just why hacks are so devious.
And, after the first round of phone security was published, surely no high profile person keeps their voicemail and the default setting now?
Fuck'em all.
The BBC seem to be strangely uninterested in this story.
re: Fit
Really? Which BBC is this?
The same BBC that had a lengthy interview with John Prescott regarding this on their flagship news and current affairs program this morning?
Coulson dodgy, what a surprise...
Only The Guardian (and now El Reg) seems to have the balls to publish the most important bit of the story, which is the Andy Coulson is heavily implicated by witnesseses as being knee-deep in this.
Don't expect to read this in any of Murdoch's publications (i.e. most major newspapers). John is right as the BBC's story misses this rather large detail.
Playing Devil's advocate here
I have a feeling that the reason the BBC are not covering this story is that they are afraid of the powers that the Tories have. Remember, Murdoch controls the Tory party, and the government can control how much TV Licence can be allocated to the BBC. If the BBC even dare to try and say anything bad against Murdoch, they know that the Tories will come down on them like a tonne of bricks. Also, the PCC is owned by the Daily Mail, while the Express papers and Murdoch papers are in collusion against the BBC. That is why they are so reluctant to say anything.
Helicopters, because you don't know just how much power Murdoch and his ilk have in politics!
Letters or digits
Graun & El Reg are not the only ones; Private Eye has been sporadically reporting this (& other questions) for several years now
Private Eye got there first
Private Eye has been covering this story since the original prosecution, most recently in the run up the the general election. They have repeatedly stated that the practice was much more widespread than the prosecution covered, that the police knew this was the case, had not notified any of the other affected people, and that in effect this was always going to be a ticking bomb for the paper and Coulson. I shall be reading the next edition with interest.
Fleet Street Cowards
Clever of The New York Times to respond to Murdoch's Wall Street Journal blood feud by going after another part of his empire - the News of The World.
It also neatly illustrates the comfortable little cartel that controls the UK paper industry - "nothing to see here, move along". With the BBC neutered by Murdoch, it is left to a bunch of Yanks to shed some light on the whole sorry affair.
The Mighty Murdoch
It's most illuminating that one of the Scotland Yard press people is quoted as saying it would be bad to get on the wrong side of Murdoch's media.
Minister for Disinformation
What shouldn't be forgotten is that amongst all this is the fact that Cameron appointed the bugger as his 'Media Advisor'.
You also have to just wonder how far Murdoch has his hand up the puppet Cameron's arse (yes, similar to Blair but what's the difference) as regard the appointment.
Wapping lies?
"Many of the hacks carried out "
A typical friday night for NotW journos?
@Elmer Phud
Do you think Murdoch sees a difference between Blair and Cameron?
I'm struggling a bit there .....
AC because I wouldn't want to upset our glorious leader *
One right-wing git v's another
Mudroach doesn't give a toss - it's all about control.
It was a cosy friendship between Him and Thatcher that got rid of BSB and gave us Sky (and BT)
"Mudroach" :-)
The Beeb covered the story quite well this lunchtime, and included the rather improbable official comment from the NotW, that they have a "zero tolerance" attitude to wrongdoing by their hacks. If so, one wonders where next Sunday's copy is going to come from...
For the love of god!
The reason that the rest of fleet street ios keeping weel away from this tory is that the NOTW is not the only paper to have done this.
DO you think that this PI only worked for them ??
How do you think the Mirror , Star, People and the broadsheets got their scoops??
You guys cannot be that naive surely??
They're no doubt working together on it. The sad truth is that the more The Graun banged this particular drum on its lonesome, the more folk would have ignored it.
It seems that the mobile phone operators found this by...
observing that many voicemail accesses came from a few numbers.
From other articles apparently o2 told their customers they had been hacked, the rest not.
What needs to happen:
1/ Operator should send you a text every time your voicemail is accessed by a phone other than the mobile itself (and perhaps a whitelist of a few others)
2/ Operator should allow you to prevent access from phones which don't report their ID (with option to switch off)
3/ Operators should be more proactive if they see some numbers accessing many phones.
It is not PHONE hacking - it's VOICEMAIL
FFS, is it so hard to be a bit more accurate? I can accept this from the Sun and NotW, but this is not some high-tech data tap on a live GSM conversation (which has only become possible and affordable in the last few months), this is a guy dialing 0000 to 9999 after trying the defaults until he gets access, and it's easy to make his lide a bit more miserable.
After the 3nd fail, send an SMS to the user and put some delay in to slow down the retries. Or do what some other coutries do, use more digits, and force a change on first access.
But it is NOT a phone tap..

Parents don't only have to be vigilant about protecting their own identities anymore; now they have to worry about protecting their children's as well.
According to the Associated Press, children's Social Security numbers (SSNs) are the newest hot commodity in the identity theft marketplace, providing buyers with years of possibly uninterrupted use. "Hundreds of online businesses are using computers to find dormant Social Security numbers—usually those assigned to children who don't use them—then selling those numbers under another name to help people establish phony credit and run up huge debts they will never pay off."
The scam works like this: perpetrators use computers and publicly available information to identify unused SSNs, likely from children or convicts. After making sure the number is clean—meaning it's active and isn't on file with any of the credit bureaus— the company sells the number to a buyer for anywhere between a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
"Because the numbers often come from young children who have no money of their own, they carry no spending history and offer a chance to open a new, unblemished line of credit," reports the Associated Press's Bill Draper. "People who buy the numbers can then quickly build their credit rating in a process called 'piggybacking,' which involves linking to someone else's credit file."

Construction began last week on a "vertical connection" from the Green Line light-rail Central Station in downtown St. Paul to the skyway system.
The cost of the $1.7 million connection is being paid for through a grant from the federal government, with the balance from a Metropolitan Council light-rail construction contingency fund.
"Central Station will be one of the busiest stations along the Green Line, so connecting it to the heart of downtown is critical," said Mayor Chris Coleman.
The elevator will access the skyway at Fifth and Cedar streets.
Accessibility advocates raised alarms when it appeared there would be no way for disabled riders to reach the skyway. Rick Cardenas, co-director of Advocating Change Today, said the elevator will make it easier for people with disabilities, seniors and others to get to such places as the Xcel Energy Center, home and work through the skyway.
