Entertainment Report Issue #21 (WWE Elimination Chamber, Oscars, Razzies, Glee, Comic Book Men and much more!)

"Luck be a lady tonight. Luck be a lady tonight. Luck if you've ever been a lady to begin with. Please be a lady tonight."




As WrestleMania season starts, the report will become very busy. That being said make sure you follow our Twitter account @EReport1 for upcoming news and info. Everything goes through there first. For instance this week I made a big announcement concerning future issues, Scotty live tweeted from the Wave/Soul game in Chicago and I posted up my Raw reaction from the PWTorch. This will be constantly updated and will be the place to find out all kinds of info concerning this blog and it's writers.

As for tonight's issue our coverage of award season continues. Joe and I have teamed up for the Academy Awards and the picks are pretty interesting. Also I would like to welcome avid movie fan Kyle Palkowski to the team who is providing us with Razzie Award picks.

As always I would like to thank @travlord (despite our little Twitter fight during the Devils/Flyers game on Friday night) and the @EastCoastCast for all the continued support.

Alright let's get into this jam packed issue...

Results

  • Pre Show: Brodus Clay and Tensai defeated Team Rhodes Scholars (Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow) when Clay and Tensai pinned Rhodes
  • Alberto Del Rio submitted Big Show to retain the World Heavyweight Championship
  • Antonio Cesaro defeated The Miz to retain the United States Championship by disqualification
  • Jack Swagger won the Elimination Chamber match to become the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship
    • Elimination Order:
      • Mark Henry pinned Daniel Bryan
      • Mark Henry pinned Kane
      • Randy Orton pinned Mark Henry
      • Randy Orton pinned Chris Jericho
      • Jack Swagger pinned Randy Orton
  • The Shield defeated John Cena, Ryback and Sheamus when Rollins pinned Ryback
  • Dolph Ziggler pinned Kofi Kingston
  • Kaitlyn pinned Tamina to retain the WWE Divas Championship
  • The Rock pinned CM Punk to retain the WWE Championship

Thoughts

The Shield defeated a super all star team and Jack Swagger is the #1 contender. Those were just the major headlines and they are starting to make WrestleMania interesting.

In other news, it looks like we are getting Cena/Rock II. Hopefully Mandy will make it through the whole match unlike last year.

As for the rest of the show it was pretty much what I expected. Didn't expect the ending of Cesaro/Miz but I guess this sets up a rematch.

If anything this night showed me that despite the part timers and veterans, there's going to be a surprising youth movement at WrestleMania. It's about time WWE!

I have to admit, the producers of Glee know how to take us on a roller coaster ride. What a night, what a show. I feel it made all Gleeks happy to be home to watch the show on Valentine's Night.

So let's get right into the Will and Emma wedding. Everyone returned to be at the wedding, well kinda. There was no marriage. Emma got cold feet and ran off during an insane song, Getting Married Today. While I really didn't know this song, it was fun to watch and I didn't know Emma can sing like that. That being said, Will told everyone that the reception was still on and that's where the fun began.

Before we go there, before the wedding Jake turned to Ryder for advice for Marely for Valentine's Day and Ryder obligated, despite his obvious feelings for her. The first part of all this was an in class room performance of You're All I Need To Get By which might be their best song yet.

Alright onto the reception. Blaine and Kurt reunites on stage singing Just Can't Get Enough. This was after they were making out in the limo earlier that Mercedes broke up. That didn't sit well with Tina who flipped out on Kurt. This led to him calling her a hag and give him a reason to use the term "vaborape" in a sentence. Emma had set up Artie with her niece Betty, whom is also in a chair, and despite a rough start totally hit it off. Rachel caught the bouquet which led Finn to confront her and pretty much reproclaimed his love for her. Santana and Quinn, to everyone's surprise, got really close, drunk, touchy-feely and danced all night. Finally Jake revealed to Ryder that his real goal was to sleep with Marley and that caused Ryder to almost snap.

This all led to We've Got Tonite which showed Rachel & Finn, Artie & Betty, Kurt & Blaine, Quinn & Santana and Jake & Marley going into hotel rooms. Everyone had sex except Jake & Marely and the Internet broke again with love and hatred from Quinntana. The Glee world then tried to catch their collective breath.

But that just led to the aftermath. Here's a checklist...


  • Artie & Betty got together as a couple and went on a date, adorable.
  • Tina apologized to Blaine & Kurt and officially was proclaimed their hag, which Kurt reminded her was that not a bad thing, very sweet.
  • Marley confronted Ryder and told him that she knew that he helped Jake and thanked him, Ryder then kissed her, mouth open in shock that he actually grew a pair.
  • Finn encouraged Will with a pep talk and the coaches of New Directions got the group on stage for Anything Could Happen (fitting song) while Will was distracted by pictures of Emma on his phone, heartbreaking.

So finally Rachel returned to New York and Brody is waiting for her. She doesn't say anything about sleeping with Finn and he lied to her about something, we saw a shot of him walking out of a room with alot of cash. They then had sex, yes shocking, but then we cut to Rachel going through her calendar book. She panics and runs to the bathroom to take a pregnancy test and it faded to black. What the hell was that? Whoa!

All these questions will be answered...on March 7th. Really? Damn them!

Episode: Clash at the Stash

After a two month break, Comic Book Men returned with a fun show. The major portion of the show came when UFC fighter Nate Quarry asked Walt to carry his indy comic Zombie Cage Fighter, so in return Walt get Quarry to set up a fight between two costumed fighters. Kevin and Jason Mewes joined the staff for the fight. The fighters ended up being dressed as Jay & Silent Bob, Jay won.

The items in question this week were a Juggernaut, Green Lantern/Green Arrow (Vol. 2) #76, and a pair of Superman and Wonder Woman Underoos. In a bizarre moment, Ming actually put on the Wonder Woman pair, thinking Walt would put on the Superman pair. Seriously how did Ming fall for that gag?

All good things must come to an end. Sunday afternoon the Missouri Comets snapped the Milwaukee Wave's 16 game winning streak with a 17-9 win over the league leaders. Recently named player of the week, Leo Gibson, led the Comets charge with a hat-trick, and Ian Bennett recorded a hat-trick of his own for the Wave. For much of the first half, it was the Gibson-Bennett show. Bennett scored the first two goals of the game before Gibson answered with two goals of his own. Bennetts third goal of the evening was scored from 3-point range.

The next night in Chicago it was the Bennett-Farias show with both players scoring a hat-trick. Tenzin Rampa opened the scoring followed up with goals from Luan Oliviera and Ian Bennett. Pablo scored first for the Soul to make it 6-2 in favor of Milwaukee. Bennett scores his second of the evening and 5th in 2 days to give the Wave an 8-2 lead at the break. 3 consecutive goals by Carlos "Chile" Farias, with the last one being scored with 0:01 remaining on the board, sparked the Soul's comeback. A free kick from outside the Wave's penalty box was awarded to the Soul and Carlos Munoz fired off a perfect shot around the wall with 5 minutes remaining. A goal from Nick Perera tied the game at 10. With two minutes remaining, Hewerton (everton) converted the game winner. Bennett finished off his 3rd of the evening when the Soul pulled goalkeeper Jeff Richey in favor of the 6th attacker. The ensuing play resulted in some "extra-curricular" activity. Fred Degand of the Soul was issued a red card as he had accumulated 3 cards on the night, and Bennett was sent to the box with a yellow card. The final buzzard rang and the score was 15-10 Wave who remains in first place at 18-3.


2/15/13-Philadelphia at New Jersey

When Travis Zajac scored 40 seconds into the game, it looked like it would be an easy night for the Devils. That wasn't the case as the Flyers grabbed a 3-1 lead before the end of the period. Jersey came back to life 26 seconds into the second when newly reacquired Alexei Ponikarovsky scored to make it an one goal game. Later in the period Patrik Elias tied the game up. David Clarkson completed the comeback, and continued his red hot start, scoring his tenth goal halfway through the third. The game was sealed on a Steve Bernier empty netter.

2/16/13-New Jersey at New York Islanders

Lead by John Tavares's hat trick, the Islanders routers the Devils 5-1. The Isles were 3 for 5 on the power play as New Jersey collapsed. Marek Zidlicky scored the lone Jersey goal in defeat.

2/18/13-Ottawa at New Jersey

This started out so well. Stephen Gionta scored 1:19 into the game and the Devils dominated the first period out shooting the Sens 17-9. After that, Ben Bishop and the Senators shut them down. Daniel Alfredsson tied the game 8:12 into the third and then after a wild period, then went to a shootout. Jakob Silfverberg got the lone shootout goal and the Sens won.

After a rare three days off, the Devils head to Washington to play two games, tomorrow night and Saturday afternoon (on NHL Network) against the Capitals. Then on Sunday they return home to play the Winnipeg Jets.

2/15/13-San Antonio at Milwaukee

If you look at the first 59 minutes of this game it was very ugly for the Admirals. Lead by a goal and assist from Mike Santorelli & Jed Ortmeyer, the Rampage took a 4-2 lead. That was until the final minute. In one of the most miraculous moments I've experienced, Chris Mueller scored two goals in 39 seconds to send the game to overtime. In overtime Milwaukee captain Mike Moore won the game at 2:29 to complete the amazing comeback.

2/16/13-Charlotte at Milwaukee

Wow, what happened? There are no words. Riley Nash tallied two goals and two assists and Brett Sutter got four assists as the Checkers destroyed the Admirals 8-2. Kevin Henderson and Michael Latta got the Ads goals.

2/17-Abbotsford at Milwaukee

It looked like a long night for the Ads after the Heat took a 1-0 lead into the 2nd period on a goal from Tyler Rueggegger. But that was the only goal that would go past Mangus Hellberg for the rest of the night. Just over two minutes into the second period, Kevin Henderson tied the game. This held till halfway through the third period when Michael Liamsbas scored to give the Ads the lead. Taylor Beck capped the victory with an empty better.

Next week the Admirals go on a four game road trip. They start tomorrow night in Lake Erie to face the Monsters. Then over they have back to back afternoon in Toronto against the Marlies on Saturday and in Hamilton to take on the Bulldogs. Finally on Tuesday night the Ads head back to Lake Erie.


  • On Monday morning WWE announced that WrestleMania XXX will take place at the Superdome in New Orleans on April 6, 2014.
  • This past week on Raw, The Rock unveiled the new WWE Championship belt. It's an alright belt, just have to get used to it.
  • Jack Swagger was arrested on Tuesday night after being pulled over for speeding. He was charged with a DUI and possession of marijuana. This couldn't have happened at a worst time for the WWE as he supposed to be in the World Championship match at WrestleMania XXIX.

Tensai and Brodus Clay are two very lucky men. Most couples dream of having the moment they fell in love captured on film, but these two could make their own movie with all of the footage shot of them dancing, laughing and giving the world the one thing that could possibly be more painful than Tensai’s facial ink – him in lingerie. What is more disturbing is his inability (or unwillingness) to take the damn thing off when he had a chance.

If you take Billy and Chuck, add a little Too Cool Scorpio, multiply by Das Wunderkid, divide by a spinaroonie and subtract the Rhodes Scholars’ purple Teletubbie vibe, you get the vibe of this new upandcoming tag team. I actually find myself cheering them on because it’s just too much of a trainwreck to look away. Naomi and Cameron can’t look away because they are jealous that Brodus found someone with a bigger rack (well, at least natural) than them.

I’m shocked that Tensai could find a babydoll in his size – though with it on he looked a Garbage Pail Kid more than a Cabbage Patch Kid. It’s a shame, really, because the babydoll would have had real potential on a curvaeous lady such as myself. So in honor of Tensai’s new fashion snse, I recommend these cute black scattered holographic earrings in Zoya Storm to match whatever he decides to put on next. As one of P&P’s best sellers, no one would be looking at his attire and would be staring at these stunners. You’re welcome.

Stay Puzzled and Polished!

  • Kelly Clarkson unleashed on Clive Davis this week after Davis wrote false information about her and her career in his new memoir. Kelly really laid into him on Twitter and he deserves it especially after calling her a "shitty writer who should be grateful for the gifts that he bestows upon me." Go Kelly!
  • In the feel good moment of the week, Robin Roberts returned to Good Morning America on Wednesday morning after taking six months odd to undergo a bone marrow transplant. 


  • The Winnipeg Jets traded Alexei Ponikarovsky to the New Jersey Devils for a 2013 seventh round draft pick and a 2014 fourth round draft pick. (2/13/13)
  • The Pittsburgh Penguins traded Eric Tangradi to the Winnipeg Jets for a 2013 seventh round pick. (2/13/13)
  • The Montreal Canadiens traded Dustin Tokarski to the Tampa Bay Lightning for Cedrick Desjardins. (2/14/13)
  • The Nashville Predators traded Jan Lajunen to the St. Louis Blues for Scott Ford. (2/19/13)
  • After 16 seasons, the Buffalo Sabres have fired their head coach Lindy Ruff. They have named Ron Rolston as the interim head coach.

Entertainment Report Issue #21 EXTRA: 2013 Razzie Awards



Written by Kyle Palkowski
www.agonybooth.com
December 21, 2012 has come and gone, and we're still here. For some of us, it is a time to cherish what we have, to appreciate what would have ended had the apocalypse occurred. For another few, it's a time to figure out what to do about the credit card bills you racked up thinking 2012 was going to happen. For the ones like me who have no life other than their DVD and Blu-Ray collections and the local movie house, it's time to look at the Oscars and the schmaltz that gets nominated (I'm on team Lincoln). For the group who enjoy the worst of the worst... the Razzies are here to pay homage to the mediocre films that clogged up the multiplexes last year, films with emotionally manipulative vampires, borderline-rapist pedophile werewolves, Teletubby wannabes, cross-dressing black men, and a silent Eddie Murphy.

For this article to have any credibility, imagine for a moment that you live in a world where Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part II will NOT sweep this year's wards. That said, let's get to it.

Worst Picture
  • Battleship
  • The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure
  • That's My Boy
  • A Thousand Words
  • The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2
Okay. Battleship really has no place on this list. It's a dumb action movie, never intended to be anything more than that, and succeeded. The Oogieloves would be my pick if it wasn't meant to be harmless kid's fare. I haven't seen That's My Boy, and don't ever intend to. We ALL know about Twilight. However, A Thousand Words deserves it: it wastes a good plot of a man learning to choose his words the hard way by giving it to a man who gets nearly all of his laughs in films USING words. Making him silent just cripples him.

Worst Actor
  • Nicolas Cage (Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Seeking Justice)
  • Eddie Murphy (A Thousand Words)
  • Robert Pattinson (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2)
  • Tyler Perry (Alex Cross, Tyler Perry's Good Deeds)
  • Adam Sandler (That's My Boy)
Nicolas Cage makes any movie with him in it watchable (The Wicker Man, anyone?). Robert Pattinson actually HAS talent. Tyler Perry is too easy a target, as is Adam Sandler (who actually does wonderful in dramatic roles, just take a look at Reign Over Me). Eddie Murphy deserves it for not only willingly giving up the one thing that makes him funny, but for doing a piss-poor job at trying something new.

Worst Actress
  • Katherine Heigl (One for the Money)
  • Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil: Retribution)
  • Tyler Perry as Madea (Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection)
  • Kristen Stewart (Snow White and the Huntsman, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2)
  • Barbra Streisand (The Guilt Trip)
No long-winded process of elimination here: Kristen Stewart, for the same bland, shitty personality-less performance in two equally shitty movies (one in which she cheated on her husband with, no less!).

Worst Supporting Actor
  • David Hassellhoff as himself (Piranha 3DD)
  • Taylor Lautner (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2)
  • Liam Neeson (Battleship, Wrath of the Titans)
  • Nick Swardson (That's My Boy)
  • Vanilla Ice as himself (That's My Boy)
Why in the hell is Liam Neeson on here? Why? His performances were not bad in the least. Moreso, Vanilla Ice is nominated for a freaking cameo (hardly a SUPPORTING role), and I can't really talk smack about him (he gave us "Ninja Rap," and we are eternally grateful). Same logic applies to Hassellhoff, doubly so considering Piranha 3DD had no aspirations of being anything but a cheesy B-movie. Having not seen That's My Boy, I must pick Taylor Lautner, (either a FTM Kristen Stewart or a living cardboard cutout). Washboard abs and frequent shirtlessness DOES NOT cover up the ability to be outacted by the cast of a kindergarten play).

Worst Supporting Actress
  • Jessica Biel (Playing for Keeps, Total Recall)
  • Brooklyn Decker (Battleship, What to Expect When You're Expecting)
  • Ashley Greene (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2)
  • Jennifer Lopez (What to Expect When You're Expecting)
  • Rihanna (Battleship)
When you're outacted by a swimsuit model, you're better off sticking to your music career.

Worst Screen Couple
  • Any two cast members from Jersey Shore (The Three Stooges)
  • Mackenzie Foy and Taylor Lautner (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2)
  • Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2)
  • Tyler Perry and his drag getup (Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection)
  • Adam Sandler and either Leighton Meester, Andy Samberg, and Susan Sarandon (That's My Boy)
Hmm... charisma-less couple with heavy overtones of pedophillia? Taylor Lautner, Mackenzie Foy... COME ON DOOOOWWWNNNNN!!!!

Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel
  • Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
  • Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection
  • Piranha 3DD
  • Red Dawn
  • The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2
I pose a question to you world: did you REALLY want another Madea movie? I rest my case.

Worst Director
  • Sean Anders (That's My Boy
  • Peter Berg (Battleship)
  • Bill Condon (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2)
  • Tyler Perry (Tyler Perry's Good Deeds, Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection)
  • John Putch (Atlas Shrugged: Part II)
Every director but one on this list has made at least one good movie. Anders made Sex Drive, Berg has several including Very Bad Things and Friday Night Lights, Condon has Gods and Monsters, and Putch has A Time to Remember. What does Tyler Perry have? The same damn movie made numerous times, and that original movie wasn't that good to begin with.

Worst Screenplay
  • Atlas Shrugged: Part II (screenplay by Duke Sandefur and Brian Patrick O'Toole and Duncan Scott, based on the novel by Ayn Rand)
  • Battleship (written by Jon & Erich Hoeber, based on the Hasbro boardgame)
  • That's My Boy (written by David Caspe, uncredited rewrites by Adam Sandler, Tim Herlihy, Robert Smigel, David Wain, and Ken Marino)
  • A Thousand Words (written by Steve Koren)
  • The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2 (screenplay by Melissa Rosenberg and Stephenie Meyer, based on the novel by Stephenie Meyer)
IT'S A TIE! either the screenplay for a sequel nobody wanted based on a wretched book that says selfishness is good and generosity is unnecessary, or a screenplay based on another wretched novel in a series that sets female rights back about a hundred years and made vampires and werewolves laughingstocks.

Worst Screen Ensemble
  • Battleship
  • Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection
  • The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure
  • That's My Boy
  • The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2
The Oogieloves deserves the award for the sheer amount of wasted star power: Christopher Lloyd, Cloris Leachman, Cary Elwes, Chazz Palmenteri, Jaime Pressly and Toni Braxton. Pitiful.

Entertainment Report Issue #12 (Glee, WWE, TNA, ROH, ACAs, Scotty McCreery and more...)

As the month of December slowly ticks away and tonight the country will salute the hurricane victims, welcome to this week's Entertainment Report. Before we get into a very jam packed issue, there's been alot of love going to us, especially on Twitter.

First off the Top 10 Podcasts of 2012 became the first entry to surpass 200 views since starting the Report. Thank you so much to everyone who read it. On Twitter this week I have to thank @MJCupach, @bigbrothrgossip, @ashes2ashes13, @travlord, @eastcoastcast, @BBGossip and @apartofhim for a the retweets and responds this week. While our Facebook page hasn't taken off yet, we are alive on Twitter and it's exciting to see.

That being said let's get into this week's issue...

I'm going to be honest, this issue went up early for one reason, I wanted to make sure it was up before the concert started so I could sit back and enjoy it. I hope everyone reading this does the same. It's going to be on amazing night.


This was an interesting show that really felt like two separate shows in one. It also felt like one show was based in reality while the other in fantasy world.

We start at McKinley, where we picked up right where we left off with Marley passing out. This lead to New Directions being disqualified and The Warblers winning Sectionals. This lead to what was one of the most real moments in the show, the reminder that they are indeed a high school club and their season was over. Sue in turn took over the choir room and the auditorium leaving ND without a homebase. The group quickly fell apart and scattered into different sports and groups. Brittany and Sam though found each other, singing Something Stupid, and the get together. Honestly I really liked everything about this. It's a reminder that you're not always going to win and yes in high school there are actual seasons and New Directions has been lucky to be able to stay running as long as they did because they kept winning.

Meanwhile in New York, Rachel got an invite to the Winter Showcase, something very rare for a freshman. Fine, I'll go with that. Besides that led to the awesome dance off between Cassandra and Rachel to All That Jazz. During all this Kurt trying to get a second audition with Carmen Tibideaux to get into NYADA but was shot down, which left him distressed. Then we get to the Winter Showcase and Rachel announced she was going to just sing for them and performed Being Good Isn't Good Enough and O Holy Night. Did she sound amazing? Yes of course she did. Did she deserve to win? Based on the story they were telling, especially in this episode, no she didn't. But this is the Glee fantasy world where Rachel can do no wrong, so of course she won. I'm sorry I can't go with that. It's not realistic and makes zero sense. She is a freshman in a tough performing arts school and she wins in her first competition? It actually makes me angry. Despite that, I am able to accept that Kurt got into NYADA after Carmen pulled him on stage by surprise and he performed Being Alive. It makes story sense and was his second chance! Plus I really enjoyed the performance, it's rare Kurt just sings his heart out.

This led to, for some reason, Rachel calling Finn to encourage him that the Glee Club wasn't dead. That whole phone call didn't make much sense, and almost looked like she was bragging, but it did inspire Finn to send out an email to reunite at a location that Marley found. This brought everyone back together for a snowglobey performance of Don't Dream It's Over.

Seriously they should have done the spinoff with Rachel and Kurt because their storyline doesn't belong on this show. I just doesn't fit the show. This would have been a perfect episode if they just stuck to the McKinley storyline. It's almost like they want to prove they could do better than Smash.

Next week is the final Glee of 2012, the annual Christmas episode. I look forward to that one every year.

Results:

James Storm defeated Kaz
Rob Van Dam defeated Kenny King to retain the TNA X Division Championship
Chavo Guerrero & Hernamdez defeated Joey Ryan & Matt Morgan by DQ when Morgan yanked the ref out of the ring
Austin Aries defeated Bully Ray after Brooke and Hulk Hogan distracted Bully outside the ring
Tara defeated Mickie James to retain the TNA Knockouts Championship
Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, Wes Brisco & Garrett Bischoff defeated Aces & Eights when Angle pinned masked man #2
Christopher Daniels defeated AJ Styles with the Styles Clash
Jeff Hardy defeated Bobby Roode to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, Aces & Eights attacked both of them after the match

Quick Thoughts:

So really not much happened. No title changes, no real surprises, no turns, nothing. Going into the new year, I'm not even sure what to look forward to, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

It was a nice surprise to see Daniels beat AJ, that's about it for me. I really hope that leads to him getting a legit title shot against Jeff Hardy down the road.

Hoping things are better on Impact this week than on this show.



This PPV has always been an up and down show. This year the main event got changed because of CM Punk's injury, so this card feels very thrown together. Despite that it's a very good show.

Chairs Match

Alright here ya go. This is how I see this ending. Sheamus is going to beat the hell out of Show with chairs and after White Noise pin him.

Winner and New World Heavyweight Champion: Sheamus

Then as Sheamus is celebrating, Big Show will get up and hit the knockout punch and then Dolph Ziggler's music will hit and he will cash in MITB, hit the Zig Zag and...

Winner and New World Heavyweight Champion: Dolph Ziggler

This will lead to Dolph backstage bragging that he won the title and that means he doesn't have to fight Cena. Vince then tells him that the ladder is still in but for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Ladder Match

This match will be a war. The finish will come with Cena climbing the ladder and AJ coming out. AJ will get in the ring and Cena will be distracted, Dolph in turn will push the ladder and Cena will fall on the outside. Dolph will then climb the ladder and retain the title.

Winner and still World Heavyweight Champion: Dolph Ziggler

After the match AJ goes to check on Cena, helps him up but then slaps him. Then she turns around climbs into the ring and makes out with Dolph.

TLC Match

This match can only end by pinfall or submission. Honestly I don't expect Ryback to be pinned and hopefully they let Rollins & Ambrose do their thing. Shield has to win here, so Rollins will pin Bryan.

Winner: The Shield

Well this could go one of two ways. This could be Kofi's coming out party and he will beat Barrett or this could be Barrett's time to shine. That being said...

Winner and new Intercontinental Champion: Wade Barrett

Who asked for this rematch? What is the point?

Winner and still United States Champion: Antonio Cesaro

Tables Match

This might be one of the most random tables match ever. To be honest Rey/Sin Cara will never get a shot while Team Hell No are champs so...

Winners and New #1 Contenders for the World Tag Team Championship: Team Rhodes Scholars

Santa's Helper Battle Royal

There's only three people in this match that make sense to win and it's too early for AJ...

Winner and new #1 Contender for the WWE Divas Championship: Kaitlyn


I'll be honest, if I didn't have to work on Sunday afternoon for the first half of this show, I would totally consider ordering the IPPV. This has to be one the most stacked cards ROH has put together in a long time. It's a very solid lineup, with most matches have been setup for close to a year, and the main event is actually close to three years in the making. All things being said, let's get into the card...

ROH World Heavyweight Championship
Ladder War
Kevin Steen (c) vs. El Generico

I don't remember the last time there was a major match with a great rivalry setup and one of the guys doesn't even show up on TV. That's how this has been. Despite that, this is going to be unreal. These two have insane chemistry and are willing to tear each other apart. I think this is the time for a huge change...

Winner and New ROH World Heavyweight Champion: El Generico

ROH World Tag Team Championship
S.C.U.M. (Jimmy Jacobs and Steve Corino) (c) vs. Jay & Mark Briscoe vs. Caprice Coleman and Cedric Alexander
Stipulation: To win the titles, the tag champions must be pinned

Alright, personally I love the rules of the match. I think it's about time S.C.U.M. finally dropped the titles. The only thing is which team beats them. I'd love to say Coleman/Alexander will finally break through and win the belts, but I just can't...

Winner and New ROH World Tag Team Champions: The Briscoes

American Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) vs. Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish

This is just exciting. The Wolves are back! Davey & Kyle have been feuding all year, especially since Best in the World, but have yet to actually have a match. I'm convinced Fish was added just to make this a tag match. Is there any doubt?

Winners: American Wolves

Michael Elgin vs. Roderick Strong

This is finally the explosion of the House of Truth. I'm not sure how Truth Martini is going to interfere but honestly I don't think it will matter...

Winner: Michael Elgin

Charlie Hass & Shelton Benjamin vs. Rhett Titus & BJ Whitmer
NYC Street Fight

I feel bad for Rhett Titus. Ever since Kenny King left he's been stuck I this feud, when he deserved to get a push, at least to the TV title. As for this match, it should be good.

Winners: Rhett Titus & BJ Whitmer

Adam Cole vs. Matt Hardy

I still don't fully get what the point if this match is, but on paper it should be fun. I don't see any way the result isn't...

Winner: Adam Cole

Jay Lethal vs. Rhino

This is simple, Lethal feels this match is below him and wants a title shot. That being said, I can see him losing his cool.

Winner: Rhino by DQ

Prince Nana vs. R.D. Evans

I'm not sure why this match needs to happen but at least it could be quick and painless...

Winner: Prince Nana

Jerry Lynn vs. Mike Bennett

This is Lynn's last match in ROH before his retirement in March. At least they have him a good opponent. It's a shame Jerry is retiring but this will give him a chance to leave ROH with class.

Winner: Jerry Lynn



I actually forgot about this show till the weekend so I never got to make predications. That being said, I never expected the show to go the way it did.

The man of the night was by far Luke Bryan who took home nine awards, including Artist, Album, Single & Music Video of the year. Carrie Underwood (Female Artist & Single by a Vocal Collaboration with Brad Paisley), Lady Antebellum (Duo/Group Artist and Single), Miranda Lambert (Single and Music Video by a Female) and Hunter Hayes (Single and Music Video by a New Artist) won two awards each. Rounding out the award were Jake Owen (Breakthrough Artist), Lauren Alania (New Artist), Brantley Gilbert (Single by a Breakthrough Artist), Little Big Town (Music Video by a Duo/Group), Eric Church (Song of the Year) and Jason Aldean (Touring Artist).


On Monday WWE will have the annual Slammy Awards. Since there are no official nominations yet, I'm going to guess the winners based on how I think it will go.

Superstar of the Year: CM Punk
Breakout Star of the Year: Ryback
Trending Now Award: #Raw
Comeback of the Year: Jerry "The King" Lawler
Kiss of the Year: John Cena & AJ
Tell Me I Did NOT Just See That: Kane and Daniel Bryan Hug It Out
LOL Moment of the Year: Kane and Daniel Bryan goto anger management
Match of the Year: Triple H vs Undertaker Wrestlemania XXVIII

12/7/12-Milwaukee at Rockford

You would think that if you have a two goal lead after two periods of play, you'd win. Not if you are the Admirals in 2012.

After being down 1-0 after 1, Michael Latta, Gabriel Bourque and Victor Bartley scored in the second period and the Ads went up 3-1. But in the 3rd they couldn't hold on to the lead. Nick Leddy, Ben Smith, Brandon Pirri and Martin St. Pierre all scored in the 3rd and the Icehogs took the game 4-2.

12/9/12-Milwaukee at Charlotte

In the first if two games vs. the Checkers in three days, the Ads won 5-2. Gabriel Bourque scored two goals and Michael Latta assisted on three. Magnus Hellberg continued his personal undefeated streak with 26 saves.

12/11/12-Milwaukee at Charlotte

The Ads just can't seem to get on a roll this season. Chris Mueller scored a rare power play goal early in the first then they just couldn't get any more offense going all night. Tim Wallace broke a 1-1 tie in the second and the Checkers held on to win 3-1.

This week is a busy one for the Ads. It starts with a three pack over the weekend, Friday night home against Rockford, Saturday night at Peoria and back home on Sunday afternoon against Hamilton. Then on Wednesday night, Rockford comes back to town.


For the second consecutive week one team started off the game on a 5-0 run. This time it was the Wave as they were able to solve the Rochester Lancers keeper with a three point strike from defender Josh Rife. Shortly there after a 2 pointer from veteran Marcello Fontana. Rochester were able to put themselves on the board when the teams leading goal scorer and the oldest player in the league at 43 Doug Miller finished one off on the powerplay as the wave had been sent to the box for too many men on the field. With minutes remaining Nick Perera hit a three point goal to put the wave up 8-2. Just 48 seconds later, Joe Hammes also finished from three point land. That brought the score to wave 11 Lancers 2. Goals from again Doug Miller and Brayton Knapp brought the lancers closer before Marcello Fontana, finished off his second goal of the evening to make the final score Wave 13 Lancers 6. Midway through the third, Rochesters Rey Martinez was issued a red card when he would not sit down for his time out in the penalty box. He also shared some unfriendly for kids language with the referee and official Rich Grady sent him for an early shower. Wave go to 3-2 and will face Chicago again Friday in Chicago.

Quick Hits


  • This past week on Jay & Silent Bob Get Old, Kevin Smith announced that Hit Somebody, the hockey film that was meant to be his last before retirement, will now be a TV mini-series. I've been looking forward to this movie for over a year now so hopefully a station like AMC picks it up so I could see it first run.
  • After the Hit Somebody news broke, Kevin took to Twitter and announced that Clerks III will be his final film, hoping to come out in 2014 around the 20th anniversary of Clerks. He then took to the podcast Hollywood Babble-On Supersized Annual #1 to explain the details. I'm still trying to process all this so I'm not sure how to feel about it yet.
  • The NHL officially cancelled all 2012 games. Yeah that's all I got on that, I'm just so sick of this lockout at this point.
  • In a surprising turn of events, Dave Hester of Storage Wars is suing A&E and Original Productions for wrongful termination. Yes Hester got fires by A&E! He accused them of committing fraud by staging storage lockers with interesting items to make for good TV. He is seeking $750,000 in damages, and now the show will be a little less fun without him.


Talk about a voice for Christmas music. It is almost impossible to not get lost in Scotty's voice. Someone his age should not be allowed to be this good. I mean he took classics like Jingle Bells and Holly Jolly Christmas and spun them to fit his voice. Normally I skip over slow songs, but when I hears Christmas in Heaven I was totally entranced. Simply fantastic.

Grade: A+
Favorite Song: Jingle Bells

This is the final album of their trilogy that came out the end of this year. As a continuation it's pretty good. It actually reminds me of a combo of Warning & American Idiot. If anything this album actually rolls smoother than the other two. To be honest it's harder to pick this album apart because it simply feels like a conclusion. Overall a good finish.

Grade: B
Favorite Song: Missing You
