Entertainment Report Issue #17 (WWE Royal Rumble, NFL Championship Weekend and more!)

As the NFL season comes to an end, the NHL season officially kicks off and Wrestlemania season is underway, we welcome you to this week's Entertainment Report.

This has been a busy month, and it only continues this week.

First of all, my father-in-law Mark and I went to the ROH house show/DVD taping on Saturday night at Turner Hall. It was a fun show with some awesome matches. Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera with me so the only pics I have are from pre show autograph session with Charlie Hass and Roderick Strong. I did live tweet from the event at our account @EReport1, which PW Torch took and posted up on Sunday morning, which was cool. Also I have a full report of the show posted up on ProWrestling.net.

#2, this Friday, Mandy & I will be attending the Admirals game tomorrow for Country Music Night. Look for pictures in next week's issue.

Finally, I have throw out a HUGE thank you to all our readers this week, especially those who were lead over by @TravLord from the @EastCoastCast, @PWTorch and/or @ProWrestlingNet. It was a huge rebound week for the Report and it's all thanks to all you out there. So thank you so much.

Alright that's that, on with the show...

San Francisco 28-Atlanta 24

Baltimore 28-New England 13

Blake: 1-1 (3-6)

Joe: 1-1 (5-5)

It's finally here. Punk vs. Rock. I've been back and forth on this matchup for the whole month. The Punk fan in me wants to see the streak continue for at least another month. The wrestling fan in me understands that Rock is here to win the title. It's such a tough decision. The Shield is all but banned from interfering but there's always the Brad Maddox factor. Alright screw it, I'm going with my gut...

Winner and still WWE Champion: CM Punk

Last Man Standing Match

Did anyone know that Del Rio is Hispanic? All jokes aside this should be a hell of a rematch since they have more time. Part if me wants to predict a Ziggler cash in here but I'm actually enjoying Del Rio as champion. That being said...

Winner and still World Heavyweight Champion: Alberto Del Rio

Royal Rumble Match

This could turn out to be a great Rumble or completely anti-climatic. I'm going to say surprise picks will be Christian, Mark Henry, Shelton Benjamin and The New Age Outlaws.

Winner: John Cena

Now for the 100th time, these two teams will meet. Can this please be the last time? As much as I want to see Team Hell No to hold the belts through Mania, I think there will be a title change.

Winner and New World Tag Team Champions: Team Rhodes Scholars

So again the US Title is on the pre show. Maybe if I get the WWE App to work I'll watch it. Honestly I can't see another title change on the pre show.

Winner and still WWE United States Champion: Antonio Cesaro

Dear Rock,

YOU ARE NOT THE PEOPLE’S CHAMPION. There…I said it. It’s about time you and I had it out. You’ve just annoyed me for too long with your “candy ass”es and “rudy poo”s. Besides, if you REALLY knew what the people wanted your candy ass would have been wrestling instead of donning a tutu tossing around a bedazzled football. You sold out faster than Taylor Swift goes through boyfriends.

You see, I grew up in a time when you were either Team Austin or Team Rock. Guess which team I chose? I saw right through your egotistical rants, constant third-person references and childish references to pie (thanks for ruining my childhood dessert of choice, by the way). You were, and still are full of more bull than the one on your arm.

I will admit that through my eye rolls and teeth clenching the past few weeks that I found myself laughing aloud to some of your jokes. But you must remember that even a broken clock is right twice a day. For a few months out of each year as of late, you FINALLY come in, act like you own the joint, take away TV time from the men and women who bust their asses day in and day out FOR THE FANS, and leave. You are the relative that we like to see for an hour, but who overstays their welcome and stays a week in your house eating all your food and trashing the place.

Sunday, you face CM Punk in a title match that you definitely don’t deserve but will most likely win. It’s not like you to give the glory to another because the pay just isn't high enough for you. My only hope is that Punk makes you Go To Sleep. In honor of my wish, the Puzzled and Polished Piece of the Week is this pendant, featuring Deborah Lippmann’s Sweet Dreams to commemorate the ones I hope you’ll be having on Sunday.

I could go on and on, but beating a dead horse with puns, nicknames and lame analogies is really your thing. Really don’t want to piss you off or you’ll unleash the world’s most UNelectrifying move on me. Just to let you know, it’s an elbow drop. My four-year-old does that…and better than you. Though you’re not my least favorite wrestler of all time (I’m looking at you Screw Job Hart and Nursing Home Hogan), I’d be happy to tell you where you can shove your shined-up sideways facing guitar. Now do you smell what I’m cooking?

No Love,
Mandy

P.S. Stay Puzzled and Polished!

1/19/13-New Jersey at New York Islanders

The Devils opened up their season with a hard fought 2-1 victory over the Isles. Travis Zajac showed why he deserved his contract and scored a goal and David Clarkson scored one as well. Martin Brodeur made 18 saves for the win.

1/22/13-Philadelphia at New Jersey

Seriously what does Martin Brodeur do in his workouts to make him look half his age on the ice? He made 24 saves to record his 120th career shutout. That was just the icing on the cake for a full 60 minute effort by the Devils destroying the still winless Flyers 3-0. Travis Zajac opened the scoring in the opening minute and New Jersey never looked back. David Clarkson scored late in the period on the power play to take a 2-0 lead despite only her three shots on goal. The scoring was capped off by a shorthanded penalty shot goal by Ilya Kovalchuk.

This next week will be a busy one for the Devils. Friday night the Washington Capitals will visit The Rock. Then they will head on the road to face the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday night and the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night.

1/19/13-Milwaukee at Abbotsford

The Ads can't seem to get off their losing streak. As the NHL season starts, they went on the road with a mixed roster and lost to the Heat 2-1. Brett Carson tallied the game winner on the power play. Kevin Henderson scored the lone goal for Milwaukee.

1/20/13-Milwaukee at Abbotsford

Apparently the Ads left their offense at home this weekend. They lost to the Heat for the second straight night in a row, 2-0. Krys Kolanos got the game winner and Barry Brust made 30 saves for the shutout.

1/23/13-Houston at Milwaukee

The Admirals dropped their fifth straight game, 3-2 to the Aeros. Chris Mueller scored early for the Ads but Houston came back and took a 2-1 lead eary in the 2nd. Austin Waston tied the game at 17:07 but 52 seconds late Nick Petersen broke the tie. Then lead by Darcy Kuemper in net, who made 24 saves, including 10 in the 3rd, the Aeros hung on for the victory.

The Ads will be staying home to play Oklahoma City Friday night and they on Saturday night they hit the road back to Peoria. Milwaukee will have Victor Bartley representing them in the AHL All Star Classic on Monday night.

A continuation of the famous I-94 rivalry occurred this past weekend beginning in Chicago on Friday night and then finishing up in Milwaukee on Saturday night. A large group of Wave supporters approximately two coach buses full, showed the residents of Hoffman Estates, Illinois and the fairly new Sears Centre Arena that they were ready to support their team to victory. Although it was not going to be easy. Going into this game, the Chicago Soul was one of the hottest home teams in the league, as they are 2-0 against the previously 1st place Baltimore Blast. They also defeated the experienced Missouri Comets in their only trip to Chicago so far in the 2012-2013 campaign. The first quarter ended 0-0. Midway through the second, Soul rookie Christian Meza found the back of the net to take a 2-0 lead. Three minutes later Ian Bennett scored his first of the night to tie the game at 2 going into the break. Goals by former Wave midfielder Pablo and UW-Madison Alumni Aaron Nichols put the soul up 6-2 heading into the 4th. A disappointed head coach Keith Tozer attempted to control his team and changed a high pressure style of play and it payed off as the Wave took a 12-6 victory from the soul to tie a franchise record of 11 consecutive victories.

The next night in Milwaukee, it was all Milwaukee despite the scoreline. Starting off the scoring was Brazilian defender Jonatan Santos who ended up leaving the game with a torn ACL. This being the second time in his Milwaukee career in which he has torn the ACL ligament. A big loss to Milwaukee's back line. Goals by Ian Bennett and Chicago's Chile Farias brought the score to a 4-2 Milwaukee half time lead. A goal by veteran forward Guiliano Oliviero who has sat out the past two months with a hamstring injury put the Wave on top at 6-2. A 3 point goal from Hewerton just 3 minutes into the 4th would be the final dagger into the hopes of a comeback for the Soul. A late 3 point goal for Carlos Munoz would not be the spark the Soul needed to try to upset the Wave as the final horn sounds with a score of 9-5. With this win, the Wave has set a new franchise record with 12 consecutive wins, and still lead the MISL in the standings at 13-2.

Next up is a Friday matchup in Wichita before returning Sunday to face their I-94 rivals the Chicago Soul once again.

• On Thursday night, Taz was revealed as a member of Aces & Eights after he interrupted the Bully Ray/Brooke Hogan wedding. Yes in 2013, that sentence was written.
• It was announced over the weekend that the Inside Wrestling/The Wrestler magazine will cease publication.
• Bob Backlund was announced as the second member of the 2013 class of the WWE Hall of Fame. It's about time, he's a WWE legend.
• For some unknown reason Jeff Hardy was pulled from TNA's UK Tour this week. He was replaced by Sting. Hopefully it's nothing major.

• The Los Angeles Kings signed GM Dean Lombardi, coach Darryl Sutter and President of Business Operations Luc Robitaille multi year contracts. (1/18/13)
• The Buffalo Sabres signed GM Darcy Regier to a contract extension. (1/19/13)
• The Toronto Maple Leafs signed Jeffery Lepul to a five year contract extension. (1/20/13)
• The Florida Panthers traded Jean-Francais Jacques to the Tampa Bay Lightning for future considerations. (1/21/13)
• The Calgary Flames traded Henrik Karlsson to the Chicago Blackhawks for a seventh round draft pick in the 2013 draft. (1/21/13)
• The San Jose Sharks signed Scott Gomez to a 1 year, $700,000 contract. (1/23/13)

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.

Tribute to The Troops

WWE Tribute to The Troops airs on Wednesday night on USA in a two hour special and next Saturday on NBC in a one hour format. It's one of my personal favorite shows if the year.

Randy Orton Injured

It is being reported on various sites that Randy Orton injured his wrist during the Tribute to The Troops taping over the weekend.

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

That's it for this issue. If you would like to read more insight, it has been a busy week in this blog. Check out my NFL Week 15 picks, my rant on the NHL Lockout, Falling Into The Podium Trap and the latest year end special, The Top Sports Moments of 2012.

Next week, there will a review of the Glee Christmas special, WWE TLC, ROH Final Battle and whatever other stories break this week. Also Scott will be attending the Wave/Soul game in Chicago on Friday night and I will be going to Sunday's Admirals/Bulldogs game with my son, so we will be getting pictures together from those games.

Now as always you shoot an email over to entertainreport@gmail.com, like us on facebook, follow me @Reilly21106 and Scott @ScottFellows23 on Twitter. Please continue to vote in the year end polls, there will be new ones up all week. Thank you for reading and spread the word!

Entertainment Report Issue #8 (Glee, DWTS, TNA Turning Point, WWESurvivor Series and more)

Welcome to a very jam packed issue of the Entertainment Report, so let's get into this. Quickly, other than my weekly @travlord and @EastCoastCast retweet, I again have an empty feedback bag. If you have comments or anything to say, email me at entertainreport@gmail.com or tweet me @Reilly21106. I want to know your thoughts and opinions on the report and if anyone is actually reading.

Let's get into it...

Best Song: Blow Me (One Last Kiss)
Worst Song: Jukebox hero

This episode is why I love this show. It was a fast paced story driven episode leading to other things. This was a setup to the Glease episode next week. It included the tryouts for Grease, with directors Artie and Finn, choreographer Mike Chang and music coach Mercedes!

First off, I am so excited they are doing Grease. I'll admit I loved Blaine's version of Hopelessly Devoted to You and I went completely nuts when they broke into the Hand Jive, a dance I never thought I would see on Glee. The fact that Glee did the Hand Jive before Gangham Style is amazing to me.

As for the other stuff, usually I don't like Unique's songs but damn him and Marley (!!!) singing Pink's Blow Me (One Last Kiss) was amazing! That song makes me so giddy every time I've listened to it since the show aired. It was just so much fun and exciting and something we haven't had yet this season.

Now we get to our Glee Project winner, Blake, making his debut. I'm still not a fan that he won the show but he did a good job here. I like the fact that it looks like Finn is going to be his mentor. I just wasn't a fan of Jukebox Hero, I think he could have done something else for his first song on the show, even if it's not going to be a Grease song. Everybody Talks was better, and I'm just shocked that Kitty can sing.

I am so excited for next week's show. Just get to that one!

Grade: B+

It's a week like this where the all-star format is painful. A double elimination week is rough anyway, but when the semifinals are next week, this one was a killer.

Elimination: Kirstie and Maks & Gilles and PETA

Melissa and Tony right now are the couple to beat, 99 out of 100 in a two week span is amazing.

Moving onto next week, the couples picked the dances for the others again, but this time around it was alot more ridiculous, even Tom admitted that. I really just want to say the names of these dances.

Melissa & Tony-"Cavemen" Hustle
Shawn & Derek-"Knight Rider" Banghna
Apolo & Karina-"Big Top" Jazz
Emmitt & Cheryl-"Espionage" Lindy Hop
Kelly & Val-"Surfer" Flamenco

I really can't make any of that up.

Personal note, seeing the cast of Newsies never gets old. They are amazing.

So next week's semifinals consists of those strange dances and an awesome tribute to Michael Jackson's Bad.

Episode: The Sidewalk Stash

This week's show was actually a very low key episode, but very good.

First off, I want to see that wheel that Ming was made for the sidewalk sale, for no other reason but to see what he wrote on every slot. They didn't show it cut I guarantee Walt wasn't happy with the "Free Comic" slot. 

As for transactions, I did enjoy hearing the history of TMNT and Star Wars laser discs. The highlight of the show was definitely the Superman vs. Muhammad Ali, it's very rare and cool to see. 

Good show overall. 

I'm starting to agree with alot of people that unless they are on the road, they don't care about what they put on PPV at the point. Not much happened at this show. There isn't really a whole to talk about. I hope they know what they are doing with AJ Styles with him getting pinned by James Storm. Other than that, it was a pretty much filler show.

Samoa Joe defeated Magnus to retain the TNA World Television Championship
ODB and Eric Young defeated Tara and Jesse
Rob Van Dam defeated Joey Ryan to retain the TNA X Division Championship
DOC defeated Joseph Park
Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez defeated Christopher Daniels and Kazarian to retain the TNA World Tag Team Championship
James Storm defeated AJ Styles and Bobby Roode to become the #1 contender for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, AJ Style cannot get a title shot till Bound for Glory 2013
Kurt Angle defeated Devon
Jeff Hardy defeated Austin Aries in a ladder match to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship

Wow. A match actually makes sense for storyline reasons, yet it didn't get announced right away. Going into this match Punk will on his 364th day as WWE Champion, as much I want to see Ryback or Cena to win the belt, it's not going to happen here...

Winner and still WWE Champion: CM Punk

I'm really looking forward to this match up because I didn't get to see the first match up last month. This should be awesome. As much as I would love to see Sheamus win back the belt, I have a feel there are bigger things in the works for Show down the road. 

Winner and still World Heavyweight Champion: The Big Show

This is interesting match up, especially since the point of Team Foley is now that Punk is no longer in this match. Honestly this might actually be the most unpredictable match on the card. This could end two different ways, Miz could turn on his team or...

Winner: Team Foley Sole Survivor: The Miz

Wait what? What the hell? This is a weird match up. I thought this supossed to be Justin Gabriel not R-Truth. If it was Gabriel I wouldn't say...

Winner and still WWE United States Champion: Antonio Cesaro

Now this is a really good matchup. I do have one question though did the storyline of who attacked Kaitlyn at Night of Champions? Maybe they did I don't remember. If they did, and I just forgot...

Winner and new WWE Diva's Champion: Kaitlyn

11/9/12-Chicago at Milwaukee

What a crazy game. It was already 3-2 Ads halfway through the first period, and they held on for a 7-4 win over their arch-rival. Taylor Beck got two goals and an assist, even though the crowd thought he got a hat trick. Ads are now up 1-0 in the Amtrak Rivalry. 

11/10/12-Milwaukee at Rockford

Look at that the Ads CAN win two in a row!!! Mike Moore's two goals lead Milwaukee to a 4-2 win against the Ice Hogs.This ended the six game losing streak against Rockford.

The Admirals are just beginning a long seven game road trip. Friday and Saturday night they are playing two games in Oklahoma City against the Barons. Then on Tuesday they head to Chicago for the first time this year to take on the Wolves in the second game of the Amtrak Rivalry.

Quick Hits

• I'll admit that I got a chuckle that Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez broke up. When I read that I think I hear millions of tween yell in glee all at the same time
• Maybe I'm old school but the news that Annie reopened on Broadway made me smile ear to ear. I might not get to see it, but I would love to. Hopefully they at least get to perform at the Thanksgiving Parade this year.
• Congrats to Mats Sudin, Joe Sakic, Pavel Bure and Adam Oates on being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. It's too bad the ceremony was in the shadows of the lockout. They deserve better.

Last year when Glee did West Side Story, I, much like alot of Gleeks, wanted a full soundtrack like they did for Rocky Horror. Even if the full songs weren't on the show, take them and put them on an album. We didn't get it. This year they are doing Grease and get the full album.

First of all, Grease is in my top three musicals of all time with Rent and West Side Story. It was the first musical I fell in love with. So you can imagine how giddy I got when Glease was announced. Now the tricky part, making it work in 2012. Grease might be rated PG but it's very racy at times and I was curious how they were going to work around it. So I broke my personal rule and listened to the soundtrack early. Wow simply wow.

First off was the editing of Greased Lightning. I'll admit I got a nice laugh out of the edits. I mean I know they can't get away with lines like "That ain't no shit, we be gettin lots of tit", "The chick'll cream" and "she's a real pussy wagon", but the censor jobs were beyond strange.But if you get past them it's alot of fun. Also it sounds like Rizzo doesn't sing Look at Me I'm Sandra Dee in this version, but it works for the story of the show, just an unexpected change.

As for the rest, awesome job. I'm so giddy and happy with the album that I found my new obsession for awhile.

Only thing it's missing is We Go Together, that is disappointing but hearing Darren Criss sings Beauty School Dropout makes up for it.

Grade: A

That's it for this week. As always check out my Week 11 NFL Picks. Next week I will be covering Glease, the semi finals of Dancing with the Stars, what happened at WWE Survivor Series and there will be a review of Green Day's latest album ¡Dos!. All that and whatever else happens this week going into Thanksgiving.&nbsp

Till then, have a good week and thank you for reading!
