And now, onto the news:
Even though I've been away from regular ITR duty for several weeks, hardly ANYTHING has been happening!
Well, unless you consider World Wrestling Federtainment Corporation Limited Incorporated Corporation firing
the collective asses of over 30 people as "news".

Shitty worker (hey, some of these are legitimate reasons). |
Dial M For Mohachmed: Apparently The WB has
had enough of Mohachmed Hussein, simply because everyone's favorite Arabmerican
may have been responsible for bombing a bunch of subway cars in London. In their
exact words, they told WWE figurehead president Vince MacMahon to take the character
"the fuck off our fucking network, you stupid fuck!"
Showing the calm, reasonable demeanor that he's known for, Vinnie
Max has decided to simply book Hussein on Eric Bischov's Monday Night Raw! And he will "borrow" Triple HHH's old WCW moniker and change his name to Terra Ristin!
And if so-called "patriots" complain about the angle, he'll bomb them back to the stone age! Using pirotek pyarotek piyrotekk
fireworks that he STOLE from The Big Stupid Red Machine Kain! And it will be the
best terrorist-based angle ever!
EVER!!!
Everyone's favorite minor-league wrestling promotion NWA T&A (National Wrestling Alliance Tits & Ass)
has landed a slot of network television, shifting their key demographic from Dumb
Marks Watching On The Internet to Dumb Internet Marks Watching On TV.
According to a press release sent by Spike Dudley TV, "We are
thrilled be showing T&A Impact on our network. Wait a second… wrestling? I thought it was porn. Dammit! Does that
not sound like a porn name to anyone else? Do they at least have any big-name stars? Aw, crap…"
To help cross-promote the new show, Spike is planning on airing the episode of CSI: Memphis where the investigators attempt to figure out why Double
Jeff Jarrod is still on top. As well, former XXX Division Champion B.J. Styles
will implement a new finishing move that uses the trampoline from SlamBall. And
former tag team partners Roaddog Jamie James and Big Ass Billy Gun will continue their non-feud during a very special edition of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Even creative mastermind Vince Rousseau will return to the fold, booking a SHOCKING SWERVE~! into a Three Stooges rerun (spoiler: Shemp turns on Moe after one too many wrenches to the nose).
Now that T&A has a (real) television show, is Vince MacMahon sitting at home in a panic that his empire
is crumbling? BANK ON IT!!!
New product alert!!!
Recently, I traveled to Buffalo, New York (motto: "Have we ever mentioned
that we like The Bills?") to watch The Great American Beach paper-view spectacular.
And it was just like its WCW predecessor, as it featured:
- Road
Warrior Aminal going over in a pointless match.
- Finishes so ridiculous and counterproductive
that you'd think Dustey Roads was given the book.
- A SHOCKING father-son angle (2005:
Eddie Guerrera- Roy Mysterio; 1999: Matzoh
Man Randy Sewage's old man-Rick Flare; 1988: Ivan-Nikita Volkoff; 1985: Dustey Roads-Baby Doll).
- The heel winning in the main event,
sending fans home unhappy.
- HI-DAN-RIKE!
That said, the show was definitely fun. Got to meet with some Bulldog fans before the show, many of which
were toting ridiculous signs:
What a strange bunch… although the last fellow
there seemed very sexy, in a rugged kind of way.
Finally, I wanted to show you all something that
you've been waiting a long time to see (besides the book, that is. Have you ordered it yet? Come on, people. It's a BARGAIN for everything
you get in there? Don't delay - order today! BUY IT NOW!!!)
I'm of course talking about… the long-awaited
return of collectable ITR Trading Cards!!! Here are five new ones for the masses
to enjoy .
Well, that about does it for this week. I'll be back next week, suggesting all of you buy my new book. Until then, remember: if you booked it here book, it's book book book. |
