Yes siree. Today marks my 25th birthday. Nothing can stop me from celebrating my special day.

I also like to thank God for sparing me and letting me live to see this day. Sadly not many people here don't live long enough to reach this number. Either they die a few months before and then they are some that sadly don't make it to their 20s or double digits. So this is really big in my mind.

Also, I am not the only one celebrating. My 2nd brother also celebrates his 1st birthday today. Which is a bit ironic, huh? One father, two sons, two different mothers and they're born on the same day only years apart from the other. And I was glad to see him along with some siblings who have grown rapidly over the last few months since I've seen them.

Yeah this blog will be short. So happy birthday to me and goodnight.

Out With The Old and In With The New......

OKAY. Like my YouTube account, I let my blogs slide for too long. Time to update God damn it.

Yeah, I left my YouTube account up for 4 months without uploading anything. Now I did. Let's end there.

Second, over the past few weeks I traded in 2 of my games. No idea what I may get in their place but I already have 2 new ones thus far to keep me busy for a while. First off, Sonic Unleashed for the Wii is no more. Yeah, at first I enjoyed it for the first few months I had it until ti started to linger in the back of my collection so I got rid of it. Plus the amount of time placed into the werehog stages killed it for me. Sonic is usually more about his speed and stuff giving him an edge over Mario which would work in this generation if Sega would stop adding gimmick after gimmick after gimmick. And no I don't plan on trying the PS3 version either.

Next game to go was TNA Impact. Sorry, that game wasn't doing anything for me. Plus I had far better PS3 games to go back to on a more regular basis. If they added more content to it, then yeah I would've probably kept it. But sadly they didn't and they was almost nothing left to do. The controls were okay and I liked how you could counter in mid-move and what not. But more things should've been added to the game to be completely honest. No offense to anyone who liked it, cause I didn't.

In any event, these are the games I got in their places:

PUNCH-OUT (WII): Yep the remake of the original NES classic. And I also have the NES version via Virtual Console too. Both of them are loads of fun yet the Wii version obviously has more stuff to do. And no, Mike Tyson is not in the game. Like the NES version, the remake is really hard especially with the extra features added to it. One thing for sure, if you don't like really hard games then this isn't the game for you. People who have played the original Punch-Out for NES would have no problems going through Contender Mode.....until you unlock Title Defense mode. You fight all 12 boxers again, only this time they are a lot stronger, quicker and tougher to take down on your first try. P.S: you are at least guaranteed to lose to Glass Joe in Title Defense for your first try (which I sadly did), but hey. To ease the difficulty, you get to fight holograms of the boxers in Title Defense before fighting them if you choose to just so you could learn how they fight (saved me a lot after losing 5 times to the first 2 boxers). Definitely a good game if you like challenges and cartoonish appeal and charm in video games.

RATCHET AND CLANK: TOOLS OF DESTRUCTION (PS3): Ah the game that eluded me for so long yet the first Ratchet and Clank for the PS2 hasn't been beaten yet. Still have that damn montage to do right when September starts and I also can't go far with this. Not when I can barely see anything that is thrown in my face. In any event, if you liked any of the PS2 games you'd like this one. That and the fact that this particular game, much like the critic review at the back of the cover, feels like a Pixar movie more than anything else. And that is great IMO cause Pixar movies rock (Incredibles FTW). No need, I will finish that game even though I hate the SIXAS motion-sensors. After that's done I'm downloading Quest For Booty and buying A Crack In Time when it comes out. Man, why did I let the Ratchet and Clank series past me by when I bought my PS2? I haven't had this much fun with a 3D platformer since Super Mario 64 (Galaxy was great but not as good as 64).

Well that's all the time I have. And with that, later.

I remember when a lot of people bashed Finlay and flamed the living hell out of the man over one of the most ridiculous reason possible: he's "old."

SO? When did age determine how good a wrestler is in the ring? As far as I am...

At first, when I saw MVP, I was not the least bit impressed with him at all. How can you get into someone who looks like a Power Ranger? However, a rivalry and several PPV matches with the late Chris Benoit at WrestleMania, Backlash and Judgment...

Randy Orton

Agree (4)

Disagree (4)

It's amazing how this guy hasn't been fired with all of the stuff he has done in the past 2 years or so.

Everywhere you look, we hear "Randy Orton is great" or "Randy Orton is the best" or, the worst of them all: "Randy Orton is the future." The future? Of what, BOREDOM????? John Cena was the first cancer in the WWE, Randy Orton is the second cancer in the WWE.....and here are the reasons why:

Wrestling Skills: All he does are chinlocks and stomps. Not to mention the poor man's copy of the Diamond Cutter. Everyone says Cena has 5 moves of doom? SO does Orton.

Mic Skills: "I am a legend killer." "I am the future of this business." "Get a look at greatness." Same old crap from him when it comes to this category. When I hear him talk, it bores the hell outta me.

Charisma: Sorry, but shouting at the top of your lungs when you're angry does not count.

Gimmick: Legend Killer? Hear me out, Orton lovers. Whenever I hear someone call Orton a legend killer, it sounds like they're saying "he is Randy Orton........and he kills old guys who are way past their prime cause he can't do jack in wrestling." Would you like to go around being called a man that killed old guys? I sure as hell won't.

Personality: We all know about his out-ring personality so I won't even touch that again.

Matches: Oh, Orton has had "classic" matches against the likes of Rob Van Dam, Mick Foley, Edge, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, HHH, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, KURT ANGLE. He is awesome.........my eye. Everyone of those guys carried his sorry carcass through all of their matches and they still do it to this day. Name me one classic match that he was able to carry on his own. None at all. Another failure for the Overrated One. Hell, put John Cena and Randy Orton in a match and you got a recipe for disaster.

Fanbase: I don't have a big problem with Orton fans really. The problem I have with them mostly is that they normally don't give a legitimate reason for liking him. This is one of the key reasons why I call Orton the Overrated One. And in my mind, Orton fans are worse than Cena fans.

Surname: Come on. Anyone knows why Orton gets off the hook so much. It's because of his surname. He's a 3rd generation wrestler for crying out loud. Hello? Green light here? Anyone in a wrestling family and a third generation wrestler to boot can get away with anything.

Main Event Push: Have you noticed how on Raw everyone calls Orton the youngest WWE Champion in history? Sorry, he's the youngest World Champion in history. Brock Lesnar still holds that priviledge. I believe the only reason Vince did this was to make Randy Orton look superior to Brock Lesnar and erase all accomplishments he had in the WWE. You might be able to fool others with your crap, Vince, but you can't fool me. He wanted to get rid of Lesnar's highest mark, so he used Orton who can't even do any of the stuff that I mentioned.

And THAT, Orton lovers, is all I gotta about Randy Orton: the EXTREMELY Overrated One.

Ashley Massaro

Agree (4)

Disagree (1)

Why does this woman have a job in the WWE? Better yet, why does a lot of women like her have a job in the WWE? There's absolutely nothing GREAT about Ashley.

Ashley has absolutely NO charisma and her mic skills are GOD awful. JBL stated that the WWE has the "sexiest women on television." WRONG. Mickie James and Victoria would fit under that bill, as well as Jillian Hall. Everyone else, hell naw. ESPECIALLY Ashley. Look at her. Sure, from a distance, she looks okay. Then we get a close-up, OYE. Take the camera off of her PLEASE. She has a butter face........and body.......and, just about everything about her is terrible. And don't let me talk about her boobs either. She looks like a broomstick with branches attached to it.

And most importantly, just like all of the divas except Jillian, Mickie and Victoria, SHE.......CAN'T......WRESTLE. Jillian can't make her look good, Victoria can't make her look good. No one in that company can make her look good in a wrestling ring.

Finally, why was she shoved down our throats for the last 4 months? Because she was on PlayBoy. Who the hell cares about her posing nude in a magazine? Except perverts. And that's the reason why she got a match at WrestleMania with another women who can't wrestle either, Melina. That match was horrible and an absolute waste of time. And she had the nerve to be crying about the end result of it? Hey, you have no one to blame but yourself.......and Vince McMahon as well.

I guess it is safe to say that in Vince's mind, the only thing women can do in "wrestling" is walk around looking like trailer park trash or prostitutes.....in other words, eye candy. Sorry, Vince, but you're an absolute moron and perverted bastard to think like that. And ANYONE who believes what Vince says, is just as perverted and stupid as he is. Ya wanna see women like Ashley? Go to porn. Ya wanna see women wrestle? Shimmer is the way to go.

So, to conclude:
Ashley Massaro sucks........and I bet that's not all she sucks. Vince McMahon, is not getting any from his wife. And Shimmer is the best place to go for women's wrestling.

Yoshihiro Asai, known as the Ultimo Dragon is without a doubt, a legend in Japan. And he's one of the best cruiserweights to come out of WCW. Just like Jushin Liger, he had one of the best masks I have ever seen back then. I don't care who you...
