Early!
Christmas shopping done! All in one shot, too! Had such an awesome time with Tracie! Picked up a couple of gifts at Barnes And Noble. Has been years since I'd been inside. Very overwhelming place. Could spend hours there! Finished the list up at Walmart. May find I need odds and ends, but the principles are set. So good to feel that stressful weight lifted from my shoulders early!
First...

Quote Of The Moment...
"I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket, but I've gotta get a move on with my life."
-Big Girls Don't Cry-Fergie
Yet Another...
Worried...
While the world is slowly rebounding from an economic crisis, professional wrestling is in the midst of the worst downward trend I've ever seen. It's incredibly frustrating to have to watch three different products in order to feel satisfied.
WWE, the biggest company in the game, doesn't know which end is up. In the face of an unfortunate injury to their top star, I hoped to see someone young, hungry, and deserving get a push. How wonderful would it have been to see Dolph Ziggler or Wade Barrett be given a chance to run with the ball? Who knows, maybe one of them would have caught fire. Instead? Ryback. No charisma whatsoever, a repertoire of moves that make John Cena's look like Shawn Michaels', and the natural in-ring ability of a sloth. Really makes me want to buy tickets. If I were to really get rolling, I'd mention inconsistencies around every corner, storylines so bad whomever conceived of them should be shot, shameful writing, and a chairman who hasn't known what makes a quality product in over a decade. But, I won't waste space. So terrible.
One major problem with ROH. Jim Cornette booked as if it were the early 1970s. Maybe now, with someone new at the helm, pace will pick up.
What to say about TNA? While in-ring action is consistently better than WWE, major problems still need addressing. How am I supposed to invest completely when half of the roster acts as though they'd rather be doing anything else? Along that same line, regularly botched spots are incredibly distracting, absolutely unnecessary, and detract from enjoyment immensely. The Impact Zone is a huge problem. TNA can't afford to travel, and is stuck producing shows on an unevenly lit, low budget soundstage. Cut unnecessary expenses, and get out of there as soon as possible. One last thing. I'm all for having a loyal fanbase. It's one of the most important aspects of keeping a promotion afloat. However, when the same crowd attends every week, enthusiasm is bound to wane, and complacency set in. Not the best thing to expose to your television audience.
Thank God for independent promotions like Dragon Gate USA and Evolve. They keep my faith in the thing I love most in the world from dying.

Disappointed!
Anywho, Eliana and Chehon won. They are amazing dancers, and deserved it. Let's hope, when next season rolls around, I rediscover my passion for this great show!
I Love Lucy!
Pop the cork, and pass the bubbly! Awesome casting news just keeps coming! Lynn Herring is bringing Lucy back to PC! I can't tell you how excited I am. Though my history with the character is from the vampire-infested spinoff, my television screen will be better for her being on it again. While details about length of stay remain under wraps, we know that Lucy returns home just in time for The Nurses Ball! That's right, Ron and Frank have resurrected the beloved event! How genius are they?! No one can ever accuse them of not respecting the history of this show! Such amazing awesomeness!
