Random Hell In A Cell Thoughts...
by, 09-27-2011 at 11:27 PM (2332 Views)
We are but a very short week and half removed from Night of Champions, and in just a few days we all face that dreaded question, "Do I really want to spend $50, when I just did two weeks ago." Well my answer is no, I won't be spending the money to buy this PPV, and there's good reason for it. Why would I want to drop half a bill for matches that have no build up whatsoever. The only match that has been properly built up enough to deem necessary a Hell In A Cell atmosphere is the Henry/Orton match. Every other match has just been thrown together, and unfortunately it did not have to be that way. So let's talk about things I would have done differently.
Orton/Henry, I think has been booked very well, and I am fine with the direction that the WWE has taken with them two, The only thing I hope, is that they don't pull a Cena, and put the title right back on Orton this Sunday.
Cena/Punk/Del Rio, I feel was just thrown together without any thinking. If we go back to Night of Champions, I think if WWE did one thing differently, we could have two extra matches that are a lot more meaningful that the triple threat match we're getting for the WWE Title. First and foremost, Del Rio should have retained. If you don't want Cena to lose cleanly, then use Ricardo Rodriguez as a distraction so that Del Rio has the opportunity to cheat to win. If Del Rio retains through the help of Rodriguez, then you have reason for the rematch, at HIAC, to be in the cell.
So there's one match, that has preexisting build up that people could look forward to. Then, due to all the interference in the Hunter/Punk match, you have a rematch there too. Now I understand that in doing this your top three matches would be repetitive as they are the exact same from the previous PPV. But do you really have another GOOD option, with only two weeks between PPV's. Thee WWE thinks so, but I do not agree. Anywho, you put Hunter and Punk in a rematch to settle the score about who is better. I don't think you'd even have to have all the extra stipulations (i.e. Triple H loses COO position if he loses) because you could focus this match on Punk believing he was so close to beating one of the best in the business. And I think you can sell that rematch on that idea alone, on who the better wrestler is.
So those are things I would have done differently. I think Raw was a slow show this week, and I don't think they did enough to really sell HIAC. There are only two matches I am looking forward to, and that is Beth/Kelly Kelly, and Orton/Henry. And my reasoning for that is because those are the only two matches that I feel have a back story to them. Speaking of those two matches, as I said earlier, I sincerely hope that Henry retain, and I actually hope the exact opposite for Kelly Kelly. I really hope Beth finally gets the title that she severely deserves.
Well I've rambled enough folks. Ill post my predictions up this Saturday. Take care all. Be sure to leave feedback guys. You can also follow me on twitter @_TheDustyFinish and read all my blog entries at www.thedustyfinish.blogspot.com.

A few of you have been grumbling lately, with reason, about the weird comment box with a black hole in the right margin that hides text (especially, misspellings and typos) until your musings are published.
I've shared your complaints with a Web producer, who informs me that the entire blog is moving to a nicer format, possibly in a matter of days. The off-center comment box will no longer be a part of your lives or mine. Neither will the unseemly gray line cutting across the photo at the top of this page.
In case you're curious, here is a link to another blog that has already migrated to the sleek new design. It's almost too state-of-the-art for me. I don't know how I'll handle it.

1968 Shelby GT500KR Convertible - Trial By Fire
Perhaps The Motto For Arild Thu's '68 GT500KR Convertible Should Be "That Which Does Not Kill Us Makes Us Stronger"
Perhaps the most stunning reclamation is the 140-mph/8,000-rpm instrument cluster, an item Arild figured as a total loss. Amazingly, Gary "the Tachman" at H&H Auto worked magic with the rare combo, and when teamed with an N.O.S. bezel, it looks like new.
That "like new" moniker drips from Arild's now-stunning Shelby, proved by scoring MCA Gold at its debut showing during the '04 Mustang Roundup in Bellevue, Washington. Based on its presentation, judges were shocked to hear that Arild had driven nearly three hours from British Columbia, Canada, but when we went there for our photo shoot, that's exactly what we did-drive! We enjoyed several top-down hours in this Shelby as we scouted for an appropriate site for our images, and we're not kidding when we say this is one of the best running "stock" Cobra Jets we've ever ridden in.
Just this side of a near-death experience, the KR has come through better than ever, with a demeanor that's incredibly smooth and powerful at the same time.
All '68 Shelbys, All The Time!
Arild Thu was plenty savvy to online research and parts gathering when he launched his '68 GT500KR restoration, but when he stumbled onto Pete Disher's Web site at www.thecoralsnake.com, it was like finding the most important piece to the puzzle.
Pete's site is specifically oriented to '68 Shelbys and their restoration, with a specialty focus on the special-paint cars (159 total units, of which 144 were yellow). Data and history are the strong suits of this site.
Arild says that during his restoration, Pete was on overseas deployment supporting the Afghanistan/Iraq conflicts. Despite such duties, Pete was willing to communicate almost daily, making suggestions and advising Arild on the various minutia of the restoration.

Hotels in Kyoto
Hotels in Kyoto range from the traditional ryokan, Japanese-style inns, to more conventional options like luxury hotels, business hotels, guesthouses and teeny-tiny capsule hotels. All are extremely well equipped to cater to travelers of all stripes. For a truly authentic Japanese experience, consider staying at a ryokan instead of the more commonplace Kyoto hotel. There, you'll be greeted with a deep bow by the proprietress and served a cup of hot green tea. After a full day of sightseeing, you'll be served a full-course dinner of kaiseki, Japanese haute cuisine which consists of multiple courses, prepared with artistic flair by a top chef. After dinner, you can sink into a hot bath while maids quietly prepare your futon bed for the night. A few highly recommended ryokan include Tawaraya, Hiiragiya Ryokan and Yoshikawa, all located in downtown Kyoto.
If you're looking for more conventional accommodations, our favorite hotels in Kyoto include the Hotel Granvia Kyoto, a sleek modern hotel located directly above Kyoto Station, with its famous "bullet trains"; the Hyatt Regency Kyoto, a favorite among frequent travelers located in Kyoto's Southern Higashiyama sightseeing district; and the Kyoto Hotel Okura, located in downtown Kyoto and offering splendid views of the Higashiyama Mountains.
This 17-room ryokan in Gion, the traditional geisha quarter, holds candlelit evening tea ceremonies and makes a good base for exploring the city's many temples.
The Arashiyama neighborhood of Kyoto, full of bamboo groves and Zen temples, is the site of the city's newest—and most exquisite—ryokan, or traditional inn.
A 16-acre compound installed on the tree-covered Higashiyama Hills just outside of Kyoto, this historic 1890 hotel has hosted kings, queens, presidents, and celebrities.
Billed as Kyoto's first design hotel, the property opened in 2007 with 13 unique rooms: No. 201 has a sexy red, black, and white scheme.
Hiirogiya is among Kyoto's most illustrious ryokan. Their 33 rooms— featuring lacquered bathrooms with wooden tubs—have hosted the likes of Elizabeth Taylor and Charlie Chaplin. A night at this 145-year-old staple includes a kaiseki dinner served in your room.
Super Potato is one of the designers behind the 189-room hotel with traditional flourishes—kimono fabric headboards; washi paper lampshades—in the Higashiyama Shichijo district.
This centrally located 327-room value hotel has spotless accommodations near shop-filled Sanjo-dori.
This intimate 1801 ryokan near the Nishiki food market serves owner Haruji Ukai's seafood kaiseki meals.

One of the accusations often leveled at Apple over the years is that anything over the basic model often costs an arm and a leg. The cost of an essential item like Office or Photoshop was so expensive that many would rather hunt up a dodgy copy rather than forking out hundreds of dollars to Apple for the privilege of using the original. Things have changed dramatically in recent times however - seemingly due to the immense popularity of iPhone and iPad devices.

Two More Tax Points
Amid all the talk about the tax deal, including the complaining about it on the left, one point I haven't heard made, but that has some merit, is that if President Obama and the Congressional complainers really felt strongly about raising taxes on the rich and extending the tax cuts for everyone else, they had nearly two years to do that, and they didn't.
It's not like it was some kind of surprise that the tax cuts were going to expire at the end of this year. Everyone knew it. Mr. Obama even campaigned on the issue in 2008. He was elected with a lot of political capital and with Democratic majorities in both the House and Senate. But instead of tackling the tax issue, he chose to do other things — "stimulus," health care, financial reform. President Obama and the Democrat-controlled House and Senate left the tax issue unsolved until just weeks before the tax cuts were due to expire, creating uncertainty for business, investors, and individual taxpayers.
I know, the Democrats didn't have a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. But they managed to get ObamaCare and Dodd-Frank financial "reform" through with the majority they had. Had the president, Speaker Pelosi, and Senator Reid put their minds to it, they could have gotten a tax deal, too — perhaps one more favorable to the Democrats than the one that has been reached after the election.
You've heard about businesses with a "just-in-time" inventory management policy? Under the Democrats, the country has a "just in time" tax law. And that's assuming the deal passes, which I'll believe if and when it actually happens.
While we're on the tax topic, Caroline Baum has a good column up at Bloomberg on "Why the Left Hates Tax Cuts for the Wealthy":
There's some excellent stuff in the Baum column, too, about income inequality and income mobility; it's worth reading the whole thing.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. ---
Freshman Breanna McCallum scored the game's only goal in the 31st minute to lift the Cal State Northridge women's soccer team to a 1-0 victory over Long Beach State Friday evening in a Big West Conference match at Matador Soccer Field. Sophomore Cynthia Tafoya made three saves in net for CSUN, Brittanie Sakajian and Amanda Smith provided assists and the Matadors recorded their second-straight 1-0 victory over the 49ers.
Entering the match still with a mathematical chance to qualify for the Big West Tournament, the Matadors secured a crucial three points Friday. In a wild sequence in front of net, Smith and Sakajian teamed to loop the ball over the LBSU goalkeeper and McCallum headed home her third goal of the season.
For Smith, the assist was her third of the season and 10th of her career. She now ranks tied for sixth in school history with the 10 assists. The assist was Sakajian's first of the year.
In net, Tafoya made three saves to record her second shutout of the season. Her biggest stop of the night came in the 72nd minute on a diving save off the foot of Celeste Dominguez. Her counterpart, Kaci McCain, had four saves in defeat.
Both teams managed 14 shots for the contest and Long Beach State held a 5-4 advantage in corner kicks. CSUN had 11 fouls to nine for LBSU and both the Long Beach State bench and Chloe McDaniel saw the yellow card. In the 89th minute, Long Beach State's Taylor Nelson received a red card.
The goal ended a prolonged scoreless streak for the Matadors and improved the team's record to 24-16 in 1-0 contests since the start of the 2009 season. The win also improved Northridge's record at Matador Soccer Field to 23-13-3 since the installation of lights prior to the 2010 season.
The Matadors return to action Sunday, Oct. 27 with their final home match of the season. CSUN faces UC Irvine at 6 p.m. and the team will honor its four seniors (Smith, McDaniel, Wendy Warner and Haley Chee) prior to the start of the contest.

Peru seeks $200 million to save its rainforests
December 8, 2008
Speaking to BBC News at the U.N. climate meeting in Poznan, Poland, Environment Minister Antonio Brack said Peru would aim to conserve 54 million hectares of forest over the next 10 years, an area that could eventually rise to 60 million. He said the country is seeking 20 million per year from industrialized nations to augment the $5 million the Peruvian government is willing to commit. He added that the government believes 80 percent of the country's primary or old growth forests can be saved.
"We are not a poor country going to the Poznan meeting begging for aid," he told the BBC. "We are an important country with a large area of forest that has a value."
While it wasn't initially clear how reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) mechanism would play into Peru's proposal, the emergence of a market for forest carbon could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars to the country.
Peru's forests
Peru — home to the fourth largest extent of tropical rainforests after Brazil, Congo, and Indonesia — has historically had one of the lowest annual deforestation rates in the Amazon basin, but forest loss has been increasing in recent years due to illegal logging, mining, agriculture, and expansion of road networks, including the paving of a highway that provides access to a remote and biologically-rich region in southeastern part of the country. In 2005 — the most recent year for which data is available — at least 150,000 hectares of forest was lost, while a similar area was degraded through logging and other activities.
Deforestation accounts for roughly half of Peru's greenhouse gas emissions, according to WWF. Spanning a variety of ecosystems, including the dry coastal region, the tropical Amazon, and the high Andes, the country is particularly vulnerable to climate change. The Peruvian government estimates that the country's glaciers have shrunk by more than 20% in the past 30 years and expects them all to disappear by 2040. The loss of glaciers, which are the source for as much as 50 percent of the water in the upper Amazon, could have a significant impact on agriculture and urban water supplies as well as the Amazon rainforest.

Marshall Campus
2650 East End Blvd. South
Marshall, TX 75671
Golf Tournament Raises $13,500 for Scholarships
Texas State Technical College accepted a check from the Clay Aaron Cantrelle Memorial Golf Tournament for $13,500 to use towards the Clay Aaron Cantrelle Scholarship. This tournament was the third annual to be held and has raised approximately $35,000 total.
We are so grateful to have the Cantrelle family as part of our TSTC family, said Baily Atchley, Director of Marketing and Communications for the TSTC Marshall campus.
Clay Cantrelle graduated from TSTC Marshall with a degree in computer technology. After graduation, he built an apartment in his parents mechanic shop. About 3 a.m. on May 8, 2010 an electrical fire caused the entire shop and apartment to burn to the ground. Cantrelle died in the fire.
Inspired by his sons generous nature, Clays parents set out to find a way they could keep his memory strong through charity.
My son went to TSTC, said Steve Cantrelle, Clays father. He was always a real giving person. I thought that the best way to keep his memory alive was to give back to his college.
The Cantrelles have such a love for TSTC, and their generosity allows returning students to continue their educations with us, said Atchley
Cantrelle hopes the annual tournament will continue to grow and draw in more participants and donors.
My next goal for the tournament is to have at least 18 teams, he said. I want to see the tournament grow.
To be considered for the scholarship, TSTC Students must be a returning student and write a 300-500-word essay and maintain a 2.5 GPA. Once the students receive the scholarship, they are required to write a thank you note to the Cantrelle family.
I thank TSTC for helping us with this, Cantrelle said. Thank you to everyone who has participated or donated to this cause.

It's Official. Google Latitude For iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch Becomes Available For Download!
Google's real-time location sharing app for iPhone is now official. A blog post on Google reveals that the Google Latitude app for iPhone is now officially pinned up to the App Store charts and is available as a free download.
The Google Latitude for iPhone app allows users to automatically share their live locations with friends and family, wherever they are and whenever they want. This implies that the application, once installed, will utilize iOS 4's multitasking feature to run in the background and update your location.
As you traverse across the streets, your current location will be constantly updated over Google Latitude iPhone app which will allows others associated with you to be aware of your current location on a viewable map on their device's screen.
The application briefly went live a week ago at the App Store but was immediately pulled down claiming that a wrong or older version of the app was pushed up for downloads. However, users can now download Google Latitude for iPhone and other iOS devices from the App Store for free.
In the company's own terms :
"Starting today, you'll never again have to answer (or ask) that question when you're on the go with your iPhone. With the new Google Latitude app for iPhone, you can see where your friends are and now, continuously share where you are – even in the background once you've closed the app.
With Latitude, you can:
- See your friends on a map – find out who's nearby and meet up.
– Share your location continuously with whomever you choose – help friends and family stay in touch with you, even when you cant take out your phone.
– Control your privacy – share only city-level location, hide your location, or turn off background updating at any time.
The application was originally announced in the February of 2009 and was tagged with a "coming soom" label. However, Apple's strict application policies that were loosened a little after Apple's recent revision of app policies made way for the Google Latitude app for iPhone, among others, to finally hit the App Store.
The application is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod Touch (3G/4G) and iPad 3G. It is available in 15 languages across 45 countries.

text: The Rocket Jump wiki last edited by BeachThunder on 09/02/13 10:07AM View full history OverviewA Rocket Jump is a technique used in many first-person shooters where the player fires a rocket (sometimes a similar explosive device is used) at the floor, directly beneath his feet, and jumps at the proper time to propel the player far further or higher, than normally possible. This allows him to get to otherwise unreachable locations, or escape from a difficult situation very quickly. There are risks involved though. Poor timing will cause the player to be damaged or killed by the explosive blast, or a badly aimed jump can cause the player severe damage as he lands. The Rocket Jump is commonly used in tournaments and speed running challenges. Can also be performed with grenades in some games and combined with a grenade jump.Noteable examplesRise of the TriadThis game was the first to contain a vertical Rocket Jump.Quake IIIn one of the later levels, secret areas can be reached by rocket jumping, one bearing the message - "You sneaky rocket jumper!"Quake III: ArenaNot only can the player use the Rocket Jump, but NPCs can use them as well.DoomThe Rocket Jump was used in Doom as the intended way to reach a secret exit in E3M6.Half-LifeThe Tau cannon could be used to rocket jump.Team Fortress 1 & 2The Soldier class in both Team Fortress games could not only achieve a Rocket Jump but was intentionally designed to be able to do so, as shown by the soldier Rocket Jumping in game's original trailer. Not to be outdone, the Demo Man can achieve the same effect by using his mines.Unreal 1 and Unreal Tournament seriesUsing the rocket jump in unreal tournament is an ideal way to get to certain hard-to-reach spotsStarsiege: Tribes, Tribes 2 and Tribes: VengeanceAny class may use the Spinfuser to propel themselves in the air and generate more speed for skiing and flight. This was also used in an even more elaborate way in Starsiege: Tribes, where a player could throw a grenade while in flight and shoot it while it was close to rocket jump in the air.DarkfallA number of spells in Darkfall have powerful blasts, which can be used to rocket jump.

PowerCell unveils 3kW PowerPac fuel cell APU that converts diesel into electricity
21 May 2013
PowerCell, a Swedish energy technology company with roots in the Volvo Group, unveiled a functioning full-scale prototype of its PowerPac fuel cell system, which combines an autothermal reformer and a PEM fuel cell stack to convert diesel fuel into electricity. (Earlier post.) The main target groups for PowerPac are truck manufacturers; truck owners; mobile operators; owners of base stations and other telecom infrastructure; and the military.
The PowerPac system is based on proprietary, patented technology. The unit is more efficient than a small ICE (internal combustion engine) generator in combination with an environmental friendly exhaust. The unit produces about 3kW of electric energy.
The PowerPac auxiliary power unit consists of three modules:
The fuel autothermal reformer (ATR) module, which converts standard low sulfur diesel to a hydrogen-rich gas through a controlled catalytic process. The ATR extracts hydrogen-rich gas with high purity, well within the limits of what a low-temperature PEM fuel cell can support in terms of CO. By avoiding combustion, no NOX or particulates are created. Downstream, sulfur is trapped and carbon monoxide is cleaned up while the hydrogen content is enriched.
The fuel cell module, which combines the hydrogen stream from the fuel reformer with air to produce power. PowerCell developed its own proprietary PEM fuel cell reducing parasitic losses and increasing system robustness via special gas inlets and flow field design.
The PowerCell fuel cell design allows for carbon monoxide impurities up to 25ppm.
The pressure drop of the stack is moderate to get good overall system efficiency, without losing fuel utilization properties.
The power electronics module to deliver power to the user.
PowerCell will now test and demonstrate its PowerPac prototype to the global industry and media from its headquarters and research center in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Benefits of the PowerPac for the transport sector would be the ability to produce electricity for climate control without running the engines when resting or loading/unloading. An increasing number of US cities are banning idling, and end customers start to demand green and environmentally sustainable solutions from their suppliers and partners. The PowerPac system produces electricity with no emission of particles and with much less CO2. It is cheaper than running the engine, and is also silent (which would further improve driver environment).
Stationary applications such as telecom base stations are often powered off-grid by diesel gensets, which is both expensive and environmentally harmful. Here the benefits would be both financial (reduced operating expenses by as much as 30%) and environmental.
The military and security sectors would benefit from much simplified logistics, lower power costs, and a much smaller exposure to hostile actions (the PowerPac's exhausts are close to ambient (prevailing, surrounding) conditions, and the unit is silent).
After testing the PowerPac demonstration units in various applications, full serial production will commence in 2015 for the first market. Future development could include a wider output range and different fuels (e.g. biodiesel, methanol, ethanol, DME and biogas).
PowerCell is based in Gothenburg and is owned by Volvo Group Venture Capital, Fouriertransform, Midroc New Technologies and OCAS Ventures.

I would love to know more about this. ~Price, efficiency, what types of maintenance would it require, etc.
Sounds like a perfect solution for truck idling, but I'm always leery when they release almost zero details. Usually means there's a catch...or two.
Cynicism aside, I hope it works.
Volvo is working with them on a 30kW unit to go into a new C30 model car. Just search for "Volvo HTPEM" to see the reformer that can turn diesel, gasoline or methanol into hydrogen for the fuel cell.
This could eventually become a superior flex fuel range extender for many PHEVs, allowing the use of smaller battery packs? If PEMs with reformers are or could become more efficient than ICEs, the net benefits could be significant.
Less fuel consumed while less noises and emissions created would be welcomed?
I wonder if it could run on SVO like a diesel engine can.
Sounds like a ideal replacement for diesel generators like those used for instance in pleasure crafts.
For comparison, the Volvo C30 electric has a bio-ethanol heater which one report listed as 5kW.
If so, this 3kW PowerPac fuel cell APU might be sufficient. In mild weather, 3kW electric output can reduce the drain on the battery while the waste heat from the fuel cell heats the battery and the cabin. In extreme cold weather, both the electric & waste heat from the fuel cell could be used for heating.
Obviously, more power would be nice, but fuel cells still seem to be astronomically expensive; the Panasonic 750 watt micro chp fuel cell retails for $22,000. Even if the target of $1000 per kW can be achieved, a 3kW fuel cell would still add $3000 to be price of the car. You can buy a lot of ethanol or kerosene to provide winter heating for £3000.

Unlike Tony Johnson (14 March, p 25), I can't accept that approximate number sense influences our perception that time accelerates as we get older. Rather, it seems to me, it has to do with the flow of information.
Have you ever noticed how the first few days of a holiday go really slowly, and then it's suddenly time to go home? Or when visiting a new place, the journey out seems endless while the return is far quicker. I'd suggest there is a close relation between perceived time and perceived information: a personal take on the relation of time and entropy on the macrocosmic scale.

Formed in 1967, signed in 1971, and fronted by iconic vocalist Kevin Cronin since 1972, REO Speedwagon is a band where the main constant over the decades is a never-ending desire to give their all to their fans, year in and year out.
Platinum albums and freeform FM radio staples such as "Ridin' The Storm Out" followed, setting the stage for 1980's explosiveHi Infidelity. REO rode the top of the charts with a RIAA-certified22 million albums sold in the U.S. and 40 million around the globe, with a string of gold and platinum records and international hit singles.
Even now, fully established with songs on the radio in every city and town they ever set foot in, REO Speedwagon still has that Midwest work ethic. The band has gone on stage and in the studio to work- dozens of albums, thousands of concerts, and countless radio spins. Their eyes have always been on the future and on the road - not a year has gone by where REO Speedwagon didn't perform live, thrilling fans with hit filled sets. The band's younger fans might not realize the sheer impact REO has had on music and the culture of rock 'n' roll. Hi Infidelity's millions in sales were fueled by massive hit singles such as"Keep On Loving You" and "Take It On the Run."
Thirty-plus years later, the nine-times certified platinum Hi Infidelity still remains a high-water mark for rock bands; the album spent 15 weeks in the #1 slot, a feat simply unattainable in music today. At the center of REO's desire to keep it rocking for the fans is Kevin Cronin, who looks like he's found the fountain of youth--along with the secret to penning some of the biggest hits in rock. With bandmates Bruce Hall on bass, keyboardist Neal Doughty, Dave Amato on lead guitar and drummer Bryan Hitt, REO has remained busy since the band celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2007.
These days REO are still doing what they've always done - taking good care of their legacy while keeping the focus on the future. REO's career will always carry on with music that continues to define excellence in song craftsmanship and brilliant live performance for several generations of fans.

Welcome to Part two of my Wrestlemania preview and predictions. Sadly I had to split it up too two blog posts because it was too big to fit into the one. Here are your main event matchs and my predictions to go along with them.
Michael Cole (with Jack Swagger) Vs. Jerry 'The King' Lawler (Special Guest Ref – Stone Cold Steve Austin)
Who am I kidding here if I try to come up with
Wrestlemania is only a few days away now; the entire wrestling world revolves around this event and this particular time of year. You will not find better storylines and in some cases better matches than at Wrestlemania. At the Royal Rumble it was looking like it could be one of the weakest Wrestlemania's for many years, however, the following two months produced some captivating television with
Okay people Wrestlemania is now just 24 hours away. And so we come to the finale of our COUNTDOWN TO WRESTLEMANIA 27. This has been super fun to re watch some of these matches and to really put some thought and effort into all of this. SO without further ado the final installment of the count down.
Wrestlemania 21 (2005)
Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels
It's not very often
Okay, it's awesome that the Undertaker has a 18-0 streak. It's awesome to watch his matches at Wrestlemania (albeit knowing he'll win). And it's awesome to know that out of all wrestlers past/present Undertaker is the one wrestler that has been allowed to win every year in his career!
PROBLEM: WWE seems to be starting to push the streak as what defines the Undertaker and his character?
Hello to all of the wrestling fans out there. Hopefully this will be able to make it up to the blog section, as this is my second attempt to express my views on wrestling. I know I will get a lot of disagreements with my top 10 list but I still think that these teams represent what real tag teams should be like.
1. Road Warriors
They are the best hands down!!!! They worked so
5)Lex Luger-The body and the mic skills but didn't have a passion for wrestling others did. If Luger had been even a good wrestler he would have been near the top.
(4)Big show-A great heel and a popular face. When he was younger he was one of the most agile big men in the history of wrestling but his weight kept going up and up. If he wrestled during the territories era he would have
This has probably been said before about WWE and cruiserweights but i'm hoping to come across from a different angle, so hear me out. I was just watching the rise and fall of WCW and i'm still on disc one (the bischoff section) and i realised the one reason why i loved WCW back in the day; Variety. They would have their main storylines but then they would showcase the luchadores because they drew
Randy Orton said something interesting this past week on ESPN.com. He said Cena would "own" The Rock. He said "…I think Cena is 10 times the performer in the ring that The Rock is. This Monday in Chicago, he'll prove it."
Most of us scoffed at the idea. After all, John Cena is nowhere near the league of The Rock, that's partially why we all hate him. But last Monday, John
Now I know this could be a long shot, but what if WWE wanted to really mix things up a little bit! And obviously if The Rock is willing to wrestle some matches, could we see The Great One recapture the gold?????
After raw this week, I think it is clear The Rock is going to be involved a little more then just being the host at wrestlemania. Possibly a John Cena screw job or after John
This year it seems Vince, despite trying to push younger talent, is still relying on the old blood to sell the year's biggest PPV. Whether it's HBK in the hall of fame, Austin as the special ref for Lawler vs. Cole, or The Rock as the Wrestlemania guest host, with some vested interest in Cena vs. Miz, it seems like the perfect time to officially have a handover of wrestling stardom to the next generation

Palin mentioned - at last
It wouldn't have been a 2012 event without at least one mention of Sarah Palin.
This time, it came from Tim Pawlenty, in response to this question: Who made the better vice presidential choice in 2008, Barack Obama or John McCain?Continue Reading
Pawlenty responded by lacing into Vice President Joe Biden, saying that he's "wrong on everything" and assailing his long-abandoned proposal for partitioning Iraq.
Then, he said: "I think Gov. Palin's a remarkable leader. I think she's qualified to be president of the United States."
