One more time: BOOYAH. That was Grade A “we scheduled this an hour too long to milk the ratings and now have way too much time to fill.” I think nothing before the very last segment was live, which is at least good for Tony. Tony LIED to me about Kenny Mayne being on the show. Or maybe they just misled him, who knows.
What I loved is that I waited around a half hour to watch the Press Your Luck salary game, decided they were saving it for the final half hour, and ended up missing it. BOOO.
The winner gets to do the afternoon SportsCenter. And then both night ones. So if you’re in the mood for rookie screwups now that Jindrak’s on Thursdays, Monday is your day!
Oh yeah Heat and Velocity. I need to talk more about that and deny horrible accusations about my secret love for Scotty 2 Hotty. Here’s how you rank the Cruiserweights:
Rey Mysterio
Jamie Noble
Chavo Guerrero
————–
Ultimo Dragon
Tajiri
Shannon Moore
Paul London
Billy Kidman
Hurricane
————–
Funaki
Nunzio
Akio
————–
Scotty 2 Hotty
Spike Dudley
As much as I love Shannon, Ultimo shouldn’t be in the same group with him. That’s an Ultimo problem. Chavo eeks out the top group. Funaki is great but Funaki makes Kidman look like a dynamic character. Kidman has the always fun “MY LEFT ARM IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF!!!” sell while Funaki doesn’t clap before he does the dropkick half the time.
This is all very floatable. I’m sure, like Akio and Nunzio could give me a match to sink in tommorow and I’d move them around, for instance.
You know what would be cool would be if the Space Ghost season wasn’t all of six episodes.
