And just like the Prodigal Son.....

I've returned.

Nothing playing now because Im in the Kingsport Public Library right now posting from a public access terminal. The big UF wrapped its semester up on Thursday and Im doing a stop-over at Mom and Dad's before I head off to the thriving metropolis of Abilene, Kansas for five weeks of smash-mouth research.

I watched wrestling again last night for the first time in at least 6 months. The Man they Call Shoe had us over for the Backlash PPV and, I must say, wrestling is really reached a period of sucktitude right now. You know it is bad when they bring Mabel out of retirement to do the job to Kane. I was really hoping that Mabel would win because I wanted to see what would happen if they had another interracial coupling thing like they did between Mark Henry and Mae Young. Its funny though, becuase the only time they can do that is when one of the pair is obviously abnormal in some way so that that draws the attention away from the interracial aspect. People were horrified about Young and Henry becuase she was in her 80s. People would be horrified about Mabel and Trish because he is like 500 pounds. Maven and Torrie Wilson could never hook up in a program because that would be uncovering a taboo that they won't touch. When Shawn Stasiak was Meat and Jackie was one of his "handlers," it was bad because it was 3 women and 1 guy. Its just weird that the WWE will push the envelope on everything but that. Its about 35+ years since Captain Kirk kissed Uhura on Star Trek and we still can't get an interracial couple in wrestling.

Also, what is going on with all of the Diva people getting plastic surgery? Trish has clearly had an eyelift and maybe even a nose job. Stacey had weird puffy cheekbones (which explains the big hat covering her face last night). Titan's plastic surgeon must be loving the additional female talent on the roster....its just money in the bank for him.

Hulk Hogan. Why?

Chris Masters and his Master Lock. Ted DiBiase called. He wants his gimmick back. I was waiting on Virgil to come out and knock a basketball out of some kids hand.

The Heart Throbs. I could do a above joke but insert Rico/Adrian Street/Adrian Adonis/Too Cool, but I'll spare you.

Ok, now the two Arab guys were innovative. Well, not really. We've been fighting our foreign policy battles in the wrestling ring for over 50 years now and it sitll doesn't get old. Im waiting on La Resistance and the Arab-Americans to team up and form the Axis of Evil. Maybe they can get a Korean wrestler to come over and manage them a la Team America.

Vince, even though you are not reading this....please give us Tajiri/Super Crazy at the ECW One Night Stand show. Please.

That's all for now. Time to go up and revise an article for my second publication. Maybe I'll get a professorship yet.

Peace Out, word to your mother.
