Alright. You know what guys? I've had it. There legitimately isn't a single redeeming thing about the rest of this show. I have tried and tried to pull even the tiniest Bests out of this show, but it has been abysmal (obviously things are ABYSSmal without Joseph Park, but still).
I know things are different when you're taping in front of a foreign crowd weeks before airdate, but this really makes me worry for future episodes. TNA's lease on the Impact Zone is up, and as such they'll be traveling to a city near you each week. The problem with a show like this week is that there is a whole new crowd to please, and one that doesn't often get wrestling shows, so the faces have to go over, and they don't spend as much time developing their narrative, but rather giving the fans what they think they want to see.
I'm sure it was a real kick to be there live, and see Bully Ray wrestle his brother and put him through a table and point out that he doesn't need him anymore because he's got Sting now to wrangle his opponent's legs like he's trying to change the diaper on an orangutan, but watching at home the match was slow, and dull, and had zero gravitas.
I feel like for once TNA is really on the right path, if not somewhat delayed by dumb Aces & Eights shenanigans while they waited for Sting to come back. I feel like they are at least trying to listen and take strides, but between this terrible episode and the horribly botched Gut Check Voting System, I'm really not hopeful.
I really hate to be negative, but I don't believe that TNA has proven that they are capable of handling an undertaking like this. They've been the most successful in their execution lately by developing the emotional turmoil of Hulk Hogan, or letting Kazarian and Daniels do what they want. Joseph Park is the best thing on wrestling television. Are these guys even going to be there each week? This episode had zero Joe Park, zero Bad Influence, and one weird moment with Hogan where he was kind of super creepy about stuff. That last one could be alluding to the idea that he's behind Aces & Eights, and he just did it to take Sting's GM position, but…jeez. Even typing all of that out makes it seem like a horrible idea. Sadly, it's still better than Jarrett or Bischoff, so…okay maybe it's good enough.
Now, I'm not the biggest fan of the Impact Zone, but while I don't think they should have ever been running PPVs out of there, there's something to be said for the production quality that's allowed with a fixed venue. Look at how terrible the show looked last night. It was like watching old ECW matches that have been "digitally restored" to be put into DVD production. People already have the opinion that TNA is about as low-rent as you can get (because apparently they've never watched ROH TV), so is this really going to win them over? Especially when all you can expect is James Storm yelling at people, RVD huffing his way through the world's sh-ttiest Rolling Thunders, and Jeff Hardy celebrating the longest TNA championship run in its history with all of his creeeeeatures?
So what do you guys think? Are you looking forward to no more Impact Zone? Are you devastated at losing the weekly appearance of the Impact Crowd Redhead? Let me know! I clearly have strong opinions on the subject, but I'm curious to find out what all of you think. And I'm not just WHISTLIN' DIXIE.
Yeah, you really should help with those puns.
Next week on Impact: It better effing be this guy….

De La Rosa, who grew up in Santo Domingo, has known the Martinez brothers, Ramon Martinez and Pedro, since he was a child. His grandmother, he said Friday at the Red Sox rookie development camp at Harvard University, served as nanny to Ramon and Pedro when they were little, and he has kept in touch since.
And now, De La Rosa says matter-of-factly, he has mastered the Martinez changeup. If true, given he also has thrown a fastball clocked at 100 mph even after Tommy John surgery, De La Rosa might stir some of the similar excitement his idol did.
"He taught me the grip," said De La Rosa, who is listed at 5-foot-11 but is stockier than Martinez was at the same age, though he weighed just 130 pounds when the Dodgers signed him for $15,000. "I've learned how to throw it to both sides of the plate, to left-handed hitters and right-handed hitters. I really command the pitch. I can throw it inside to lefties.
"Ninety percent of my strikeouts come on my changeup. I throw the changeup at three different speeds -- 94 miles an hour, 88 and 78."
If De La Rosa fulfills expectations, this would make the Punto Trade even sweeter. If he shows he's healthy in ST, do you bring him up immediately? Start or relieve?

Zappily Ever After: Dance academy celebrates 25 years
EUGENE, Ore. - Local dance crews are putting a hip-hop spin on popular fairy tales at the Hult Center Saturday night.
The show is a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the ZAPP Academy of Dance.
King's Krew and Evolve from the Unity School of Dance, Work Dance Company, and Flex Studios will add also their unique moves to children's stories. The event starts at 7:30 p.m. and costs $15.
Ari Zreliak-Hoban, a ZAPP instructor, said the concept has been in the works for over a year.
"Zappily Ever After is like our 'happily ever after' after 25 years," Zreliak-Hoban said.
Zreliak-Hoban said the show creates a world where the audience can see their favorite fairytale characters come to life but in a modern way.
"The Zappily Ever After show is supposed to be all about happy endings," she said. "The fairytales that we hear about, but with a twist that ZAPP is bringing to it."
Rose Katz has been dancing with the company for five years. She said, "Expect lots of great costumes, great dancing, and excited dancers."
Tickets are on sale at the Hult Center and online at www.hultcenter.org.

After just one season, Ellen DeGeneres is bidding adieu to "American Idol." The comic/talk show host told Fox the judging gig was not the right fit for her. Ellen's news leaves the show down to judges, with Simon Cowell already having said his goodbyes. What does this mean for "AI"? And who's not sad to see Ellen go? And finally, does this mean Paula Abdul can come back?
Ellen DeGeneres quits 'American Idol'
3 Responses
Who really cares? It's crap TV anyway that shouldn't have survived the first season….
.gee it was the right "fit" for her when she was rakin in the buckos…I think that Simon's departure might have something to do with her change of heart….I feel that the show itself has reached it's pinnacle …attendance at the concerts has declined and I believe the TV ratings for next year may start out strong due to the curiousity factor of who the judges will be but then dwindle as the season progresses
I've managed to watch this show perhaps 30 minutes in the past year, but this woman seems perhaps too creative for American Idol. It seems quite stifling. The constant insults are too much to stomach, and the rare success stories don't seem worth the whole effort. I think the moment has passed.

Fremont Ross' Tyler Wolf is chased by the Toledo Central Catholic defense during the second half Friday.

FREMONT -- Each down has been kind to Toledo Central Catholic's high-powered offense this season.
But Friday evening on Harmon Field at Don Paul Stadium, fourth down was the Fighting Irish's best friend.
Central converted three fourth-and-long plays -- all passes -- inside Ross' 30-yard-line on its first three possessions and turned each one into a touchdown two to three plays later as the Irish, the state's top-ranked team in Division II, tallied 28 unanswered points in the opening half en route to handing the Little Giants a 42-21 Three Rivers Athletic Conference defeat. ...

Claim: The Amityville Horror is based on a true story.
Origins: Some horrors just won't die, and The Amityville Horror is a case in point. The tale of a reportedly demon-infested house in Amityville, New York, became a best-selling novel in 1977 and a hit horror film starring James Brolin and Margot Kidder in 1979. Several inferior movie sequels followed in its wake (including a
Scary films are a dime a dozen, but what initially drew the public's interest to the original version of The Amityville Horror was the claim that it was based on real events. The producers of the 2005 remake were also intrigued by the Amityville case not so much due to the horror film's scary details, but because the tale was allegedly true. "We were looking for truth in horror,"
Co-star Melissa George was attracted to the role because, she said, "If you're going to do a scary movie, you might as well do The Amityville Horror, a true story, a famous book, a well-known moment in American history." A famous book, yes. A moment in American history, perhaps. But a true story? Not.
The history of The Amityville Horror, as with The Exorcist, began with a best-selling novel. A book entitled The Amityville Horror: A True Story, written by Jay Anson, was published in 1977 and quickly scaled the sales charts. Anson was not a resident of the infamous possessed house, but a professional writer hired to pen a book based on supposedly "true events" that had taken place there several years earlier.
The story behind the story began on 13 November 1974, when six members of an Amityville, New York, family were killed. The parents, Ronald and Louise DeFeo, were shot in bed while they slept, along with their two sons and two daughters. The sole remaining family member,
The following year, a new family, the Lutzes, moved into the house. George and Kathy Lutz, along with their three children, said that shortly after they moved in, their six-bedroom abode became a Hell house. It seemed that perhaps the demons that drove Butch to slaughter his family were not in his head but in the house. An unseen force ripped doors from hinges and slammed cabinets closed, noxious green slime oozed from the ceilings, a biblical-scale swarm of insects attacked the family, and a demonic face with glowing red eyes peered into their house at night, leaving cloven-hoofed footprints in the morning snow. A priest called upon to bless the house was driven back with painful blisters on his hands, famously told by a demonic voice to "Get out!" And so on.
A local television crew did a segment on the house, bringing in several self-styled "ghost hunters" (including Ed and Lorraine Warren) and other alleged psychics. All agreed that a demonic spirit was in the house, and that an exorcism would be needed to stop the activity. The Lutzes left the house and took their terrifying tale with them, collaborating with Anson on the book The Amityville Horror. And, as William Peter Blatty did when he promoted The Exorcist, Anson vouched for the truthfulness of his fantastic tale: "There is simply too much independent corroboration of their narrative to support the speculation that [the Lutzes] either imagined or fabricated these events."
Many people expressed doubts about the events in the house. Researcher Rick Moran, for example, compiled a list of more than a hundred factual errors and discrepancies between Anson's "true story" and the truth. The 2005 remake promises to mine Anson's book more deeply than did the previous screenplays, including background about early Indians (whose vengeful spirits may lurk nearby) and devil-worshipping early settlers of the area. Yet, Moran explains, "Experts told me that the tribe mentioned was not from the Amityville area at all (actually, they had inhabited the eastern tip of Long Island,
Joe Nickell, author of Entities: Angels, Spirits, Demons, and Other Alien Beings (and who personally visited Amityville and interviewed later owners of the notorious house), also found numerous holes in the Amityville story. A few examples of these discrepancies:
The truth behind The Amityville Horror was finally revealed when Butch DeFeo's lawyer, William Weber, admitted that he, along with the Lutzes, "created this horror story over many bottles of wine." The house was never really haunted; the horrific experiences they had claimed were simply made up. Jay Anson further embellished the tale for his book, and by the time the film's screenwriters had adapted it, any grains of truth that might have been there were long gone. While the Lutzes profited handsomely from their story, Weber had planned to use the haunting to gain a new trial for his client. George Lutz reportedly still claims that the events are mostly true, but has offered no evidence to back up his claim.
The Lutzes account was likely influenced by another fictionalized story, that of The Exorcist. In fact, it is not much of a stretch to suggest that The Exorcist strongly influenced The Amityville Story: Recall that The Exorcist came out in December 1973, and demonic possession and hauntings were very much in the public's mind when the Lutzes spun their stories of diabolic activity a year or two later. The revelation that the story was based on a hoax has led to embarrassment, especially among the handful of "paranormal experts" who "verified" the fictional tale. The Lutzes must have had a good laugh at the expense of the mystery-mongering ghost hunters and self-proclaimed psychics who reported their terrifying visions and verified the house's (non-existent) demonic residents.
To this day, the fact that The Amityville Horror story was an admitted hoax is still not widely known

The Phonautograph and Precursors to Edison's Phonograph
An 1859 Koenig phonautograph. (Courtesy of the Smithsonian Institution.)
While Thomas Edison is rightly credited with the invention of the cylinder phonograph and the means of playing back sound, his ideas were clearly influenced by numerous others who preceded him. Leon Scott's phonautograph, invented as far back as 1857, had demonstrated that ambient sound waves could be traced as a visual image through the vibrations of a bristle on a sheet of soot-covered paper, known as a phonautogram. Although it undoubtedly was a first step in recording history, the phonautograph was not imagined as a device to reproduce sound. Not until 2008 were researchers able to play back the sound waves captured on these phonautograms. You can now listen to the recordings, thanks to the work of a group of American researchers.
Likewise, the prescience of Charles Cros, who in 1877 suggested a novel method by which sound waves could be captured and then reproduced, was impressive, but his invention remained only a theoretical ideal. It was the particular genius of Edison that he was able to capitalize on these ideas and design a standard machine for recording and playing back the human voice, one that would ultimately prove commercially successful as well. But before that point would come, a few other developments would have to occur first.
