Mainly wrestling

( TNA, even more AMW squeaking than usual )

One thing about Sabu, his entrance says he's from Bombay, right? So what's with the Arabian thing? Or am I misunderstanding something?

To fill in the timeslot the Wrestling Channel shows random bits of other shows and the one on this week was old ROH. The only important thing I wish to say is that Chris Daniels has a beautiful moonsault.

Watched the Olympics. The whole household is very happy about Steven Parry getting a medal. And he's so nice.

For all those who want to know GB commentators are twits too.

Actually the way they did the people in opening who were supposed to be statues was so good. It doesn't come across half as well in the pictures. Whoever thought of it and those who made it work really deserve many plaudits.

Also while it was arty, it was arty that made sense - mostly.

Olympic spoilers as usual

Hee so happy about the men's time trial result. Well done Tyler.

Less happy about the gymnastics ( Because )

Or possibly that was just my paranoia talking.

It was fun and hi-jinks in the three day eventing too.

And then I caught TNA and marked out completely, to the point where not even doing the 'these storylines aren't real' jig didn't stop me. In between swearing at Russo, thinking that he's up to something and can no way be for real and flipping the bird at Jarrett I had a fun time.

Someone really needs to take that channel away from me before I do serious damage to the TV.

( To Explain further )

I also think I really need to calm down.
