Back on the train

Man is it ever easy to get off the blogging train...well I am back on...was sick all day yesterday, not sure if it was a stomach bug or a mild concussion. I took an elbow to the head from Bobby Thurs. in Decatur, freestyling a bit. I love it though I could do it all day. Got to wrestle Ashton and destroyed him, but of course he is younger and doesn't know as much as I do, took on his dad who took several minutes to wear me down and that was straight after Ashton so I could have taken him. I like it though when people find out that I am a lot stronger than I look despite my size. Plus I just love to wrestle. Have to see how I can incorporate that into my wrestling in the ring. Angle and a few others were accomplished amateur wrestlers before enterting the squared circle so I will have to see how they did it. I watched their matches before of course, but now that I am doing it it's paying all different sorts of attention now.

Decatur show was good. Masada took one hellacious superkick from Gemini...I mean just damn....attendance was down, but this is Texas and Friday was the start of high school football which has the potential to kill us on these various Friday shows. We shall see how things go.

The Dark Circle have the tag belts. I say me and Ashton form a MCMG-like tag team of speed, agility and youth and take it to them. But that's just me.

Training is still going. Slower the last few weeks but stuff's been happening and I have had to miss a day here n there, have to on Tuesday as well I think as I have work that calls for an evening shift. I will have to see how long it lasts though, might just get there late.

In other wrestling news, Jeff Hardy is gone from the WWE for the moment and I for one, could not be any happier. I couldn't stand him in the role he was in. Granted you couldn't deny the cheers he garnered from the kiddies, girls and spotmonkey fans, but I thought Jeff's work was just garbage personally. Of course I have yet to display my own so I realize I don't have much of a leg to stand on that sort of argument but even from just a fan standpoint I was just never a big one. If he was putting himself through a table from 20 feet up in the air, he wasn't doing anything worthwhile. Punk reigns supreme but faces the Undertaker next and no one escapes feuds with him un-buried, so we shall see how that one goes.

Tuesday...oh and the American Dragon signed with the 'E.

Tuesday…training day…always a good thing.

It’s been a minute since I blogged so I wanted to catch up on what I thought was a big deal in the wrestling world, the signing of American Dragon Bryan Danielson to the ‘E. Danielson is one of the best wrestlers in the world. Period. Anyone who can say anything negative about his in-ring skill is smoking something fierce. That being said he doesn’t fit the look of the typical guys Vince goes after so I wonder about the logic in it. Danielson is not the most charismatic guys when it comes to the mic, so a place on Raw is not in his future nor should it be. He needs to be on the shows that’s till care about wrestling in Vince land, Smackdown and WWECW. I hope they don’t have him languish in Florida forever. He should get called up right now and go right into a feud with Regal. Their matches could be epic.

There are a lot of dream match ups now that he has signed….Regal..Christian…JoMo…Punk…Finlay…Kidd…all of those could tear the house down. Will he make it though? How will he be used? As the best in the world or jobbed out all to hell? There’s a lot of talk on the Internets about this, some saying he should do it, some saying he won’t. But hey if they guy is given a shot, why not take it? Punk made it from ROH, Bourne is making it (though he has been hit/miss lately with booking) Cabana was never even given a shot…so who knows…but this is Dragon. The guy is good, Benoit good, and that could make him.

XCW was in Pilot Point last Saturday and Decatur this Friday. Decatur shows are getting bigger it seems and more lively. Pilot Point shows are hit or miss. Sometimes you have a good crowd and other times you don’t. Last weekends show was a bit of both, the people were hott for a few matches and quiet in others. I swear if Mrs. Envi didn’t get some chants going, they wouldn’t get done. I dug the Eddie/Johnson match as I am of course an Eddie fan and Johnson is my size, (well I think he is a bit meatier than me) so I pay attention to how he carries himself in his matches.

I am looking forward especially to the Denton show that is coming up. Nite said they drew a huge crowd last time they did an outdoor free show like this and I think the crowd could be as big and will provide a lively sort of atmosphere. I am wondering though what matches will be booked. I assume the familiar faces in Denton will get on there and…hmmm I really don’t know who else…we will all see together….

Thursday comes calling.....

Ah….Thursday, back to training today, had to miss out on Tuesday to get some stuff done for work. Hey when work calls you have to answer right? I added in an extra mile to my daily running work out since I didn’t train. The course I run, I may have said is a mile and a half or close to it for one lap around and I do two, though Tuesday I added one extra. So running 2-3 miles a day I think is good. I noticed myself sucking a bit less wind after the warm up drill and after some of the other work we were doing last week so I am looking for that to continue.

Got a new computer, well a replacement for the previous one that screwed up so I have to download some of the wrestling matches I had before that I didn’t manage to save to disk. I have most of my KENTA bouts have to get back some of the Amazing Red ones though.

In the TV wrestling world….TAZ is replacing Don West on TNA Impact, which is completely the first smart move TNA has made in forever. DW sucked on commentary and sucked for years now and it’s about time they got rid of him. As for the rest of TNA improving, with Kurt Angle batshit crazy as ever and Jarrett being pushed out, who knows where it can go. ROH moved to Mondays which I am indifferent about. I liked having wrestling every day of the week, but of course XCW runs Saturday, so I get my weekend fix started with that.

Not much else going on. Tired, but when is that anything new right?

Would be blogging but the net gods seems to hate me right now. Haven't got a clear signal all day. Just that kind of day.
