EXTREEEEEEEEEME drivel.

So I just woke up about 35 minutes ago (6:35 am when I started writing this) after a night's sleep that wasn't that great. My throat is dry and sore, my nose is stuffy, but dammit there's work to be done! Last night James, Matt, and I recorded the new podcast. Dean is normally there but couldn't make it for whatever reason. I know he was busy and will be busy, but I don't remember what his exact excuse was last night. Luckily Matt was there to fill the void. I was also in charge of recording the podcast this week, and probably will be for a while until something happens, which I don't mind, but I'm not exactly sure if the rest of the house will care for that too much. Oh well. Since I recorded it, of course I have to edit it. That ought to be fun. /Sarcasm. Oh well, I offered to do it, so I may as well man up and live to my word. Luckily Dean won't be too busy in his very important and hectic schedule to add the finishing touches once I simply clean it up.

I'm glad I chose to start this blog up. At first I wasn't sure if I would actually do it because quite bluntly I don't have a reputation for keeping up with projects and that's basically what this is. A lot of people have told me to start my own website, and this is more than likely as close as that is getting. I'm cheap and hosting a website costs money that I don't have. I'm trying to keep this blog as interesting as I possibly can however, as you may have noticed there is a music playlist for your enjoyment. I'm sorry if you're not a fan of the music I selected, but oh well, you can't win them all I suppose.

In Youtube and gaming news, I'll have to edit Part 23 of my Pokemon FireRed run, as well as Part 9 of my Donkey Kong run on TheGamesNight. I'm having a lot of fun with that series and it's not as strenuous, editing wise, as Pokemon FireRed. I don't have to cut out battles. I mean, technically I don't have to cut out battles anyway, but of course if I didn't it would be painful for the viewer to watch and the series would take damn near forever. That wouldn't be fun for anyone. Donkey Kong is completely recorded though. All that game needs is the various editing and narrations and it could be uploaded today if I wanted, however, I'm keeping it at 1 episode a day for various reasons. I also saw the trailer for Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 on WeDoTech.net the other day. Ask anyone I talked to about it and they'll tell you I damn near exploded with joy. If you are new to me then you may not recall that I named the original Bionic Commando Rearmed my Game of the Year for 2008 because quite frankly it was an awesome game. 2 looks like it's going to be just as awesome, if not better. You can watch the trailer here.

AND NOW IF I CAN BE EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME FOR A FUCKING MOMENT! IT'S TIME TO TALK ABOUT EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway....

So yeah, tonight is a pay per view event called Extreme Rules. As you may know I am a wrestling fan and will be watching this. I'm going to spend the rest of this blog to talk about wrestling, so if you hate it, you can stop reading right about.........................................now.

First thing's first, let me describe the pay per view for those of you who don't pay attention and are insistent to finish reading this blog in it's entirety. Extreme Rules is a pay-per-view in which every match has some kind of special stipulation. The concept was based on the WWE version of ECW, which was resurrected back in 2006, though folded once again earlier this year. Anyway, point is, none of these matches are traditional 1 on 1 or tag team matches. I'm going to read the card off and tell you 2 things. 1. What I want to happen. 2. What I predict will happen. Again, if you're not a wrestling fan, this may seem completely foreign to you, but hell, maybe I'll spark some kind of interest, though I highly doubt it.


World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger vs. Randy Orton (Extreme Rules Match)
What I want to happen: I want Jack Swagger to have a decisive victory over Randy Orton signifying him as a true champion. Last thing we need is to have another weak rising star champion like we did with Sheamus' WWE title run. They made him look weak and had him win under shady circumstances only to have him lose the title 3 months later. This could be a chance for WWE to redeem themselves and finally have a rising star who has a credible title reign. It's bad enough they made Jack Swagger look weak throughout this entire "feud." I put that in quotes because it's based on the fact that Randy Orton already pinned Swagger twice, which is not much of a feud.

What I predict: If WWE were smart, they'd have Swagger win, but I see Orton taking this. It seems that they're trying to get Randy Orton on Smackdown without having to take up a spot on the draft, which is tomorrow night by the way, and this seems like an easy loophole just for that.

WWE Champion John Cena vs. Batista (Last Man Standing Match)
What I want to happen: John Cena needs to retain the title to give the belt consistency. He won the belt last month at Wrestlemania, and a really short reign, in my opinion, devalues the credibility of the belt. Batista has been a lot more entertaining ever since he had his big heel turn last year, but for the sake of consistency, Cena needs to retain.

What I predict: Cena will more than likely retain. Cena is basically the golden boy and I doubt WWE will have him lose the title in just a month.

Edge vs. Chris Jericho (Steel Cage Match)
What I want: To be perfectly honest, I'm fine with this match going either way. If Jericho wins it makes him look like a very credible heel and will give him a lot of heat for beating the "returning hero" Edge. At the same time, logic and reason has me pulling for Edge because Jericho got the win at Wrestlemania, which shocked me actually. Edge winning would be a good way to close the feud and have the two move on to doing something different, which would be a good thing. To be honest, I wouldn't mind another Chris Jericho/Rey Mysterio feud. Their matches last year were top notch and if you can manage to find their matches from last year by all means watch them.

What I predict: Edge will more than likely take this. Jericho won last month, so now it's Edge's turn. Like I already said, this will be a good way to close the feud and to have them move on to other things.

Triple H vs. Sheamus (Street Fight)
What I want: Sheamus needs to win this to gain any credibility he never had when he was actually the champion. The fact of the matter is, as much as I loved the fact that Sheamus was the WWE champion, his reign had absolutely no credibility, and they blatantly made that clear when he not only lost the championship due to Triple H, but had him lose decisively to him at Wrestlemania. Sheamus needs to get the win here to seem like a credible main event level threat.

What I predict: Sheamus wins. This isn't the "biggest event of the year" so I'm sure Triple H will likely let Sheamus take the win this month. Though I very well could be wrong about that.

Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk (If Punk loses, his head gets shaved)
What I want: Well, to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure why this feud is even continuing. Punk should have won back at Wrestlemania, but since that show is the "feel good" show and the general rule is that the faces always win I wasn't surprised that Mysterio won last month. Had Punk won at Wrestlemania it would have been a great excuse to continue the feud within the span of the next month leading to now. The stipulation for that match was had Rey Mysterio lost he would have been forced to join the Straightedge Society. Rey won, and there was no stipulation on Punk. Of course, Punk is challenging Mysterio to a rematch and says he will shave his head if he loses. That's fine and dandy, but if they wanted to do this kind of stipulation and have a second match, having Punk win at Mania would have been a more logical way of getting to this point. Punk absolutely should get the win.

What I predict: Mysterio will more than likely win. If they didn't have Mysterio join SES at Mania, they're not going to have him join now. Punk will more than likely get his head shaved.

Women's Champion Michelle McCool vs. Beth Phoenix (Extreme Makeover Match)
What I want: First off, I don't even know what an "Extreme Makeover Match" is. I'll assume that the winner gives the loser a makeover of their choosing. Sounds stupid to me and it more than likely will be very stupid. This will probably be the "piss break" match. I want Beth Phoenix to crush Michelle McCool. WWE needs a new strong face diva and Beth fits that role perfectly.

What I predict: Beth wins.

JTG vs. Shad Gaspard (Strap Match)
What I want: To be perfectly honest, I don't know why this match even made it to pay-per-view other than the fact that they need 10 minutes to fill. Cryme Time were a tag team that accomplished nothing and were pretty much glorified jobbers. I suppose for the sake of consistency with the rest of this blog though, I suppose I should pick a person to win. I want Shad to win to give him some credibility. He just turned heel and having him beat his old partner would give him some momentum to move on to bigger things.

What I predict: Shad wins.


Well, that's pretty much it for the wrestling stuff, as well as this particular entry in general. I can't believe I actually almost took an hour to write this. It's about 7:30 now and I smell bacon, so I'm probably about to have some breakfast. Anyway, I'm gonna get going now, so until next time, take care.
