Rasslin'

Yes, you read that correctly. Rasslin'. Isn't that what they call wrestling in the south? Aren't I in the south? Anywaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay... I'm sitting here watching Monday Night Raw, and the announcement at the top of the show is that Raw will now also feature Smackdown superstars. And this is not a one-time thing, it's weekly! Which means Alberto Del Rio, the WWE Champion, will probably appear on Smackdown, while Randy Orton, the World Champion, will appear on Raw, like he is tonight!

CM Punk is probably the hottest commodity in the wrestling world right now. And the WWE managed to re-sign him to a contract, which is great. He is actually a breath of fresh air, as he speaks his mind and tells (sometimes his version) of the truth. Well, he apparently stuck his foot in his mouth and now has a match at the next Pay-Per-View against Kevin Nash (Big Sexy, Diesel, the list goes on). I am very doubtful that Punk will lose that match. Nash is partially retired, wrestles part time, and this is probably the only "major" program he will work with the WWE. So expect him to "put Punk over" by Punk winning.

Here's a direction the storyline can (and hopefully WILL) go. Punk beats Kevin Nash, who has been around for 20 years and would be considered a "legend" in the world of wrestling. They have a rematch and Punk puts Kevin out for awhile. Not going to leave big Kev on TV week after week. He is not under a full time contract. Well, there are other legends under contract to the WWE. Send THEM after Punk to "avenge a fellow legend" getting taken out. Jerry "The King" Lawler is still active. Sgt Slaughter is still active. Hell, you can even bring back the 1-2-3 Kid (also known as Sixx, or however he spells it). After a couple of months, you can call Punk the "Legend Killer". This pisses off Randy Orton, who now appears on both shows. It leads to a "trade" of sorts, sending Punk to the Smackdown roster (so he can battle Orton). Now, stick with me on this...

Punk defeats Orton at Survivor Series (or the Royal Rumble, take your pick) and becomes the NEW World Champion. John Cena is wrestling Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson at Wrestlemania 28, which is one third of the main event (unless Cena is the champ, which he promised), but what about the Smackdown main event? Enter Mr Money in the Bank Daniel Bryan, who said he will be holding his briefcase until Wrestlemania. Can you imagine a match between CM Punk and Daniel Bryan? These are the 2 guys that spent years (and I mean YEARS) in the "minor leagues" before finally making it. The match they could have would be beyond unreal, and the IWC would finally have the multiple orgasms they have been dreaming of for decades. Hell, so would I!

Whatcha think??

Saturday...

Yeah, that's the title! Not feeling very creative right now. Actually feeling a little bit drained, a little off. I didn't eat breakfast, which was probably a bad idea. Then had cereal for lunch.

Playing in the BTTP (Blast To The Past) Main Event tomorrow at Cherokee. Got in for free so can't complain. I know I won't embarrass (sp? who cares!) myself, and have honest aspirations of making the money, or at the very worst the final table (which should be the same thing).

Next week at work should be fairly quiet. No promotional orders shipping, but one to write, which is easy. Hopefully no days past 5:30pm (even hoping for a day or two where I can leave at 4). Friday they are calling for a "sustainability" day, basically meaning work from home. Saves on CO2 emissions and the like. Unfortunately for me, I am not comfy working from home for long periods of time, so I will probably end up in the office. Will try to find out if staying home is mandatory, and go from there.

Still warm...

Played poker this weekend, which I wasn't planning on. Actually, wanted to see where I was in the points standings for this quarter, and found myself tied for 31st. Only the top 30 get to play. So, I played, and WON!! Hopefully this will move me up the list. Played again today, didn't go as well as I'd hoped. I'm not surprised.

More training this week. Also, I have to speak with my co-workers. They keep blocking my orders and they don't lock down. I'm trying to NOT have to manually lock, but I'm getting really pissed off that people do not recognize other peoples' orders!

Something to read...

Turns out the "cold" I thought I had was just allergies.
Finally got a break from the heat. Today the high was only 98. ONLY!! WTF?!?
Played poker tonight. Really need to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Game is off!
Have absolutely NOTHING to be proud of. Wife sucks, son sucks, I suck!

Enjoy!

Too early...

It's just after 6am, and I've been awake for an hour and a half. I don't know if allergies are kicking or if I caught a cold. Either way, I'm full of mucus and my nose is doing nothing but running right down my face. It sucks. Especially because I'm on a mini vacation. I got to go to the casino yesterday, and today I'm going to wait for the air conditioner people. Going to get a freon refill and see what the new level is. Hopefully it will not be that low.
