Well, before I dwell into the topic that the title is about, I may as well talk about Youtube news and what not. Last night both Part 10 and 11 of Donkey Kong (Game Boy) went up so expect to see Part 12 today. If everything goes according to plan, as in I actually do the episodes on time, the series should finish up by Friday. All I have to do is complete The Rocky Valley and The Tower and then we're pretty much done. I had a lot of fun recording Donkey Kong and I'm glad I did that project. Pokemon FireRed will also be continuing as scheduled. I'll be going through the Safari Zone, and I'm probably going to speed most of that up just for time purposes. I go through the Safari Zone a few times, so I'll probably speed up the first couple of runs before I do the main task in there.
It's Wednesday morning and things are pretty quiet. Sounds to me like The Guess Who are a good band to chill with today. I have some of their songs in the playlist. Check them out, great band. Speaking of music, one of my buddies shown me a mashup between Lady Gaga and the band Behemoth. Wow. Talk about polar opposites. How bored must someone be to make such a mashup? Apparently they took the songs Bad Romance by Lady Gaga and Ov Fire by Behemoth. I mean, the two are such polar opposites yet it somehow fits like a glove. Oh well. I will say this though, makes Lady Gaga more tolerable. You can check that mushup out here. I like some mashups. I have a mashup between Jimi Hendrix and Jay-Z in the playlist. That mashup was done really well too. I suggest checking that up.
Alright, once again we come to the wrestling portion of the blog. After watching TNA yesterday, it wasn't too bad, but not as good as Raw was. For whatever reason, they decided that it was a good idea for Ric Flair to still be wrestling. They had him take on Abyss where both of their rings were on the line. You may be wondering what the hell I'm talking about, so I'll catch you up. Back in February, Hulk Hogan gave Abyss his WWE Hall of Fame ring and that magically gave Abyss super strength and confidence and what not. Well, Ric Flair got pissed off and has been after Abyss' ring ever since. I know, it sounds stupid, and it is. Anyway, it eventually culminated to the point where Ric Flair decided to wrestle Abyss himself. That kills me. This is a major feud in TNA, who claim to hate the WWE, and yet they're feuding over a WWE Hall of Fame ring. What's even funnier is this feud is taking precedence over their World Title. Yeah. They're basically admitting, even if not intentionally, that a WWE related item is far more important than their own World Title. Then again, this is a company that for a while thought that The Nasty Boys were a relevant tag team and actually brought them in for a feud. Really, Impact wasn't bad last night, but pretty forgettable. For TNA that's actually good, because most of the time I remember all the parts that piss me off.
Speaking of pissing me off, that brings me to NXT. This show was awesome the first couple weeks. Now it seems to have become nothing but stupid gimmicks and Daniel Bryan losing. NXT is a wrestling show that comes on Tuesday nights on SyFy that features 8 rookies getting trained by 8 pros. As of late, each week they've been doing these challenges much like you see on typical reality shows. I would have no problem with this had they been legitimate, but the problem is they're obviously rigged. It is not just obvious, it is painfully obvious. For example, there was a challenge a couple weeks ago where the rookies had to take a keg of beer and run it around the ring and whoever did it in the fastest time wins. Well, Skip Sheffield legitimately got the fastest time but yet they still claim that Heath Slater won. Literally, Skip got across the finish line and the timer still added an extra second to his time. There was also a competition that involved the superstars doing promos. The rookies had 30 seconds to talk about a subject and the audience would decide the winner. Two major problems with this. First problem is that this challenge took place in England, and the crowd was obviously going to pick the only Englishman, Wade Barrett, to win, and they did. It was blatantly obvious that the crowd would be bias, and they were. Hell, they even booed Justin Gabriel because he said he was from South Africa. My second gripe was that they obviously intended from certain superstars to win this thing and others to completely blow it. Daniel Bryan went up, and his topic was "passion." Okay, this would be impossible to screw up, but he managed. He couldn't even do the promo because he was interrupted by Matt Striker who cut him off maybe halfway through and told him to stay on topic. Here's the part that makes it obvious that it's rigged. They gave people really stupid topics like "toothpaste" and "cereal." Hell, they gave Skip Sheffield a topic about "rainbows" and he didn't even stay on topic. He just started spewing out his catchphrases and wasn't interrupted at all. It's obvious they want Daniel Bryan to lose all these challenges, just like it's obvious that they want him to lose his matches. He hasn't won a single match yet. I understand the first night, he lost to Chris Jericho who was the World Heavyweight Champion, and they had one hell of a match. He then lost to The Great Khali, which would have been an obvious squash given that Khali is like 7'3 and Daniel Bryan is 5'9. Okay, that's fine too. He also loses to William Regal, which is understandable, Regal was his legit mentor for a long time, so that makes sense. Now he's just getting squashed by other rookies, which makes no sense to me. I almost think Vince is blatantly saying "fuck you" to the internet wrestling community. Daniel Bryan is pretty much the main reason why the IWC watches NXT because he was the king of the independent scene under the name Bryan Danielson. The kid can wrestle and is considered the best in the world by many. Anyway, NXT is becoming way too predictable now. Maybe that's what Vince wants. Maybe he'll give Daniel Bryan a totally unexpected win just to throw us off, but I hope it's soon because they're getting to the point where they can't bury this kid any deeper.
Anyway, that's going to do it for this blog. As per the usual, feel free to leave comments and enjoy the playlist. Until next time, take care.
