Anyways, yeah.
Well, I did ended college/university. Graduation is in May this year.
Attended the Los Amigos Invisibles concert before the year ended. Concert was really great.
As for 2009, New Year's start kinds sucked.
I'm not attending the SD! house show at the moment, even if Undertaker arrives (and maybe Matt Hardy too). I'm not with much money right now. Either way, it's not gonna sell out (ticket prices and very poor publicity). Last year's Raw house show drew either 15000 or 18000 out of 21000, and this was with little to none publicity. Maybe it was the "first time" factor that helped getting such number attendance higher than what I expected.
Only movie I saw in the theater was Australia (*** 1/2). I still wanna see Benjamin Button and Revolutionary Road, which are still available. Still waiting for Slumdog Millionaire (**** 1/2) and The Wrestler (**** 1/4) to appear on the big screen.
And the WWE forums here are okay, but it's annoying to post there.
A quick, small ranking of best wrestling matches for January.
1. Chris Sabin vs Alex Shelley - TNA Genesis 2009 (**** 1/4) - MOTY so far. Give them time and they'll put a great match. Ending was predictable, but worked well. This can be easily superbed, though.
2. 30-Man Royal Rumble Match - WWE Royal Rumble 2009 (*** 3/4) - Worked well after giving it a second view. Loved to see RVD there, but while checking the RT threads, some jack*ss ruined the surprise for me. Orton won, which was very predictable. I thought that this Rumble would have been less predictable without the punt against Vince (up to that point, nobody seemed like a serious candidate to win at the RR).
3. Kurt Angle vs Jeff Jarrett - TNA Genesis 2009 (*** 3/4) - Good brawl. Jarrett nearly broke his neck doing a dive against Angle. I lol'd with the Guitar-Chair spot from Angle.
4. Edge vs Jeff Hardy - Royal Rumble 2009 (*** 3/4) - Slow start, picked up very well later and it included the heel turn from Matt. I know 5. John Cena vs Shawn Michaels - Raw (*** 1/2) - Everyone calls this as the current MOTY, but not me. I thought their other matches were much better. I won't deny that Michaels and Cena had a great match.
Criminal stuff of the month:
Shane McMahon fake-punching Orton and Legacy: Even at f*cking it up, WWE can be better than TNA. They tried to fix it on the next Raw, though. They chopped Orton's balls there big time thanks to Shane.
Feast Or Fired being worthless: See Hernandez. Lethal too, but it doesn't compare to Hernandez wasting a shot against Sting on tv (he should have used it at Genesis and won the damn belt).
Matt Hardy going to SD! with the greatest of ease: More like Long let Hardy leave easily. He should have put him against Finlay and have Hardy win on a ER match, but cheating and making Hornswoggle bleed. Great promo from Matt on SD!
Frontline still getting buried: No explanation needed.
Most interesting wrestler this month: Randy Orton
Best Wrestler: Shawn Michaels

I assume the jackass was Randyspeeps. He mentioned RVD being in the Rumble before the match took place.

Congrats on your graduation.
You're right about the forums over here. I tend to use Myspace for that most of the time.
Agreed with you on all 4 matches being great. Shelly vs Sabin II should hopefully happen again. Ending wasn't predictable until he faked the hurt ankle.
Don't even get me started on FOF. What a bogus thing to happen to Hernandez. TNA should slap themselves for that.
I did love Matt's promo. And the music added to it too. Hopefully Jeff loses most of the matches against him. For me it MH V2 time.
They're taking too long to have Frontline get the upper hand. When they do, no one will give worth a damn.

People were tossing out spoilers like RVD's appearance and Matt Hardy's potential turn without any type of warning, which pissed me off. If I recall, they were actually doing it in the RT thread, because I purposely don't go to the actual PPV threads because I want to be surprised.

I understand being pissed with the RVD part, but with Matt Hardy's turn, you could either expect Christian or Matt turning on Jeff. And with all the Christian talk, you would expect WWE to switch it to Matt.
