So I downloaded the Todd show today since I'm fairly burned out on Lance. I regretted it as soon as they got to the never ending argument about 3 hour RAW's ratings.

The Game of Thrones bit did make me laugh though.

Yeah when Dave said he liked the part where the cameras cut out and HBK was beaten up in darkness, I was a bit shocked. I was with Bryan, I thought that was corny as hell.

I remember really loving all those backstage brawls back in the attitude era, and every once and a while now they're still good but I always would read how they don't come off well in the arena. The boos Brock got when he came out with Shawn tossed over his back like a dead animal were great. Super heat. If they'd just gone off the air with Brock beating him up backstage it wouldn't have been as good.

Anime North 2007, straight up slapped a kid who was getting in his shot while shooting a Conventioneers episode. They were surrounded by so much security as well because of the poo poo they started in 2006, and were being followed by con staff because they were technically banned from the con. I was so loving happy when I heard that shitpile got axed at last because they make conventions so loving miserable just by being there. It's the main reason I stopped listening to the LAW, I refuse to support anything he's involved with.

Wow, I always thought Agnew was a douche but I had no idea it was at that level. I enjoy Review a (Raw, Wai and Impact) more than I like the LAW itself. This has convinced me to stop listening to that show.

I just wish they could have done it without the really fake static/camera cutting out deal. We've seen cameramen get bumped on TV before, it doesn't make a big hissy static noise.

It reminded me of Foley's book, when he talks about Halftime Heat. How, by using an unrealistic camera angle, it pulled everyone out of suspending their disbelief. That's what happened to me last night, as soon as they did that parking lot deal I just couldn't get back into it.

I really did want to be into it though, I wanted to have a great memorable moment that made me want to buy Summerslam. I was super pumped for Brock vs Cena, but I'm not hyped for the HHH Summerslam match at all.

Maybe I'd be more hyped if Brock went over Cena in that first match though, then I wouldn't be so sure of HHH going over.

They could've completely improved that segment last night by having the camera on the ground but still working.

It does also fit in with them both being hunters and all.

Speaking of, I cackled when Bryan suggested that when Brock snuck up on HBK backstage, he said to him, "You're a poor hunter."

Go to the home page and look for the "download to iTunes" link or whatever it says. I believe it has an RSS link in there. But if your podcatcher doesn't have the functionality to input a username and password I don't know if it will do you any good.

Agnew's completely terrible. He's got all the worst nerdy, rear end in a top hat-smark personality traits. The Law would be so much better off without him.

*Ashley Fliehr Johnson, 25, is the daughter of Ric Flair. She was a star volleyball player in high school in Charlotte where she led her team to two state titles. When she was recruited and played at Appalachian State University, she was known as Nature Girl Ashley Fliehr (I actually saw that one in a volleyball mag when they were talking about her signing with A-State). After college, she had been working as a personal trainer. She has been given the name Charlotte, after the city she grew up in. Yes, they give Ric Flair’s daughter a fake name.

Tim Sylvia vs. Andrei Arlovski was announced as the main event for One Fighting Championships on 8/31 in Quezon City, Philippines. Sylvia vs. Arlovski was UFC’s big heavyweight program in 2005 and 2006 and had three meetings. In the first, Arlovski knocked Sylvia down and submitted him to win the heavyweight title in 47 seconds. In the rematch, Arlovski knocked Sylvia down and had him just about finished when he let his guard down and got cracked in the jaw and fell to pieces in 2:43 of what was a hell of a finish. The third fight was on the same card with the second Ken Shamrock vs. Tito Ortiz fight, which was a dreadful five round fight. Arlovski blew out his knee early and couldn’t do a thing and lost the decision in a fight that felt like it lasted five hours instead of five rounds. Sylvia never could understand on that show why he was in the championship match, yet Shamrock and Ortiz got credit for all the records set business-wise that night and got paid more than he did. Really, this happened. Phil Baroni and Jens Pulver are among those also on that show.

I had no idea what paracetamol is until I googled it. I know acetaminophen, though. Most people would call it Tylenol.
