Tag: recap

Velocity and Heat. And I’ve got nothing to say about them.

The second best money I spent this weekend was $0.50 on a NES Super Mario/Duck Hunt cartridge, still in it’s original package. It’s so cool to have, even though I have no idea what I’m actually going to do with it, and think I might just have the Mario/Duck Hunt/power pad game one somewhere.

Actually, I’m not sure I ended up paying for that. Huh. Whatever.

NWA Midwest notes: For the lack of an actual recap, there’s a thread where we’re pointing out the overbooking while giving credit to the wrestlers (Delirious/Sydal was MOTN, easily)

Stuff which was too trivial to post there.

– I got lost! Can you believe it? Crazy. Somehow I missed Bartlett Road, though I still can’t figure out how. And then parking was weird; Streamwood’s parking lot is small in front, there’s one in the back (which was full and I couldn’t figure if it was staff only, with all the wrestlers hanging there), and there seemed to be quasi-legal parking across the street at the church, but that means you’re crossing a four lane road with no particular crosswalk or lights at night. I didn’t die, so I guess it’s all good.

Anyway, the timing ended up perfect; I showed up after 7, but just enough before the show that I didn’t quite get bored before they actually started.

– So I have the forethought to grab my pad of paper, and even a pen despite having like six in my car – and then didn’t actually bring a pen inside. At least it saved me from looking a dork, although my awesome black Nebraska cap obviously prevents that.

– I didn’t seek out jtron, because I have a thing about bugging people when they’re working (which is more a thing about people not leaving me alone, but that’s a digression), and then when I saw him during intermission, it occurred to me I was really hot and had nothing in particular to say, and that didn’t work out so well at ROH.

But then he came over later and we discussed the goofy finishes, ignorant what was still to come, and it worked out well. I think limiting it to sixty seconds was the key.

– hot. so hot.

– It’s arguable, sure, but to me, the best bad crowd reaction on the night was “the zero people cheering, one guy booing” on the hype for NWA-TNA’s next PPV – still hasn’t gotten old to me. The “three people clap, one guy booing” for the annoucement of Shane Douglas was special too.

– Matt Longtime really really REALLY wants to be Christian when he grows up. There are worse role models, but it’s almost scary.

Like I said in the post, I’m probably skipping the next show (and hoping there’s a good lucha show – get Dr. Wagner before he’s unmasked!), but I have so low expectations for indy booking (or booking in general, I guess) that a whole bunch of screwjobs didn’t sour me on the whole show. It did it for other people, though.

Random :

* iTunes adding Podcast is a huge boon for people like me who knew about podcasts but aren’t interested in downloading a specific program to get things they may or may not listen to. (With Mr. Tony’s vaction, I found the time to listen.)

* This week, I’m going to add a feature to CMLL section, which hopefully will be neat for even nonlucha people. Of course, it’s like the third deadline I’ve set, even with the expectation of only doing it as a beta, because I keep thinking of better ways to do things, but it
