I have fallen a month and a half behind!

November 29th 2011 07:39
I have managed to slip way far behind in watching wrestling. So many other things going on. I will be catching up over the next week or two though. I am also working on my annual Wrestling Deaths post that lists all the wrestling related deaths of the past year. So check back in a week or so for some actual posts.

It was a pretty good show. This time I took my mother-in-laws camera to take pics instead of our camera. It let me get some really good shots. It takes the picture quicker when you hit the button than ours does which also allowed me to get some decent action shots.

I had 294 pictures, but whittled it down to 216 by removing blurred and obstructed shots. Here are some of them, I will post all 216 on www.thewrestlingwrapup.com sometime this coming week.

Hello wrestling and Wrestling Wrap Up fans! I need some assistance in making a big decision. The WWE is coming back to Tulsa at the end of August. I have a couple choices in where my tickets will be.

My choices are both on the TV side.

Choice #1: F3 - Floor Seats Row F!

Choice #2: Club Section 110 Row K!

BOK Center Seating Chart for WWE Raw


Last time they were here we actually had seats in Section 110 Row K. They were amazing seats! They are almost level with the ring and obviously not all that far away from the ring. They are also in the Club Seat section. This means they are a bit wider and extra cushiony. The Club Sections also have their own private entrance, restrooms, and a small private buffet if you want to pay a small fee.

The floor seats are well, FLOOR SEATS! and of course on the TV side. They MIGHT even use the same private entrance as the Club Seats and have access to the buffet and restrooms. I am not certain of that, but where else would that section go up the stairs, right? Of course this means we'd be sitting in the flimsy floor chairs with no cushiony padding and probably with like 3 or 4 too many chairs crammed into a row. Plus we would be looking up into the ring the whole time, and I currently do not know where in Row F our seats would be. We could wind up looking past a corner ring post the whole time.

The last time I had floor seats was back in the 80s at the Asbury Park Convention Center. We were in the third row in what would have been considered F3 had it been a big event and on TV lol. The main event was The British Bulldogs vs. The Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff. I really think we got "spit" on as Volkoff sang the Russian National Anthem we were so close.

So, should we go with the known seats in Section 110 Row K, or go for the floor seats in F3 Row F? Please give me your advice and fast!

Sorry that I have not posted in nearly two months. Certainly doesn't seem that long. I have been busy setting up a few web sites. the biggest and most time consuming ones being www.AwakenYourScentses.com (A Scentsy Wickless Candle site) and www.BandJVariety.com (a store site with everything from electronics to toys.) Check them out and let me know what you think.

I am nearly caught up on a month of Raw, Smackdown, and Impact now (8 hours of DVR'd WWE left to go!), and I will resume regular posting on all my sites at some point this coming week.

Macho Man Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth celebrate at Wrestlemania IV
Macho Man Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth's Wrestlemania moment was also my Wrestlemania moment. I was at Wrestlemania IV to watch the Macho Man win the tournament and become the WWF Champion for the first time ever.


Sad news to report today. One of the greatest wrestlers of all-time has died this morning at around 10AM ET

Osama Bin Laden's Abbottabad, Pakistan compound
Osama Bin Laden's compound
As could be expected as more details come out about the entire operation to take down Osama Bin Laden the story has been changing a bit. In this post I will be trying to update those changes while also adding in some other details that I hadn’t previous spoken about.

The first and most important detail change in my opinion is that Osama Bin Ladan was unarmed and never fired a shot. When Seal Team Six ascended upon the compound they split up because there were two buildings. The main building was three stories high. Bin Laden and his family had been living on the second and third floors. The Seals were engaged in a firefight on the first floor of the main building. This is where they killed the two couriers. They then made their way to the upper floors where one of Bin Laden’s sons was killed. When they engaged Bin Laden himself in a bedroom a seal was charged by a woman who is now believe to be Bin Laden’s youngest wife. She was shot in the leg but not killed. She was also not used as a human shield as previously reported. While Bin Laden did not have a weapon it is said he still resisted. The Seals decided the proper course of action was to take him down. They used what is generally referred to as “double-tapping”. They put one bullet in his chest and one above his left eye

That's right Osama Bin Laden is finally dead. Taken out by an American bullet to the head from a U.S. Navy Seal's gun. He had been staying in a huge compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan

2011 WWE Draft

April 30th 2011 21:17
WWE Draft
The WWE Draft gets a bit more pointless each year. However, they use it again and again as a way to explain why they have to shift certain talent from one show to another. This year they needed to fill a hole on Smackdown that is being left by Edge having to retire. They know Alberto Del Rio cannot carry the show as champion. They also still feel that Christian cannot carry the show either though.

The first draft pick went to Smackdown and was John Cena, of course he would then be drafted back to the Raw roster at the end of Raw

James? I have a place where you can do a fishing podcast show (or any topic for that matter)

Hmm, so, can't be from the States? I was considering applying with a News From the 80s segment. (I have a newer site NewsOfThe80s.com where I post about current news about people and things that were popular in the 80s.)

Hi Anonymous,

What is your source that says that? I have found four sources that all say April 4, 1936.

Hi Baffold (Baffled?),

So you are trying to say that the boy in the pictures is not the same guy who is President? Well that is a new angle. So, the birth certificate just produced must be from the kid in the pic and isn't really the President's. But if he was going to make up an identity why would he pick someone whose dad is from Kenya, and who grew up in places like Indonesia, and who has a name like Barack Hussein Obama? Why not pick some kid from say Missouri with a name like Larry Williams, or Marcus Sharpe? Hmm, if only he would have thought this whole thing through a bit more.

Again, I don't really think I am assuming much of anything. You are promoting that 9 minute video that is snipped together in such a way to breed hate. Have you read the comments it has been getting? If that same hate isn't somewhere in your body why would you promote the video that promotes all that hate and rage?

You want to the job the guy is doing, that's one thing. When you want to use his religion (which isn't even his religion) to try and turn people against him it is something entirely different which has its roots in hate.

Again, I don't see where the assumptions are.

Hi still anonymous person,

I don't really think I assumed anything about you. Just the sheer fact that you are trying so hard to prove he is a Muslim shows that you are filled with at least some hatred toward Muslims, otherwise why would it even matter if he were?
I am willing to also bet that you are in that 47% of Republicans that believe the state of Hawaii and at least 50 other people are conspiring to cover up where he was born. Just a hunch there though.

Hi newest anonymous commenter,

Some nice picking and choosing lots of stuff out of context there in that video. 90% of it was him recounting ACTUAL history. But good job spinnng it all into 9 minutes that feed into your hate filled way of thinking.

Hi Anonymous commenters.

Out of the four mentioned in the last three comments I would have to go with Satriani being the best. Not only is he an amazing player but he actually taught many on the list.

Wow Anonymous, thanks for the comments...but might I add... you are insanely delusion?

You also forgot to mention that he was elected on November 4th, uhoh, 11-4 that equals 6. And he won 28 of the states, uhoh 8-2 is 6. And he beat McCain by 192 electoral votes, uhoh 1 9 2=12 and 6 6 also equals 12. He got 69,456,897 in the popular vote and 6 9 4 5 6 8 9 7=54 and 5 4=9 . And he beat John McCain by 9,522,083... Oh wait, he beat McCain by 9,522,083 votes by the American public...perhaps you should get over it and move on to trying to figure out why the Mayans said the world was going to end in 2012, or why Rebecca Black is getting attention, or why the media can't choose one way to spell Gaddafi and stick with it.

Hi aurich,

The 14th Amendment says... "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Title 8 of the U.S. Code, Section 1401 defines all of the following as U.S. Citizens at birth...

ANYONE born within the United States.

Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii...he is a citizen.
-------------
Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year

Barack Obama's mother Ann Dunham was born in Kansas and was a U.S. citizen and lived in the U.S. for many many years. He is a citizen.
-------------
Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years

So, even if the "crazy talk" was true and he was NOT born in Hawaii (which he was)... As stated a moment ago, his mother was a U.S. citizen and lived in the U.S. for much longer than 5 years... He is STILL a citizen.

Thanks for the comment though.
