redfiona99Rugby Union - Found my Alternative Rugby Commentary t-shirt so I've got something to wear for Sunday.
Formula 1 - The Jerez test is not going well for Mercedes - 2 days and 2 total car failures, both of which could have been bloody dangerous, what with Nico Rosberg's car setting itself on fire and Hamilton having a rear brakes failure which thankfully only led to him shunting into a tyre wall but could have been so much worse. Much though I am relieved that for once it's not Ferrari having the terrible testing time, at least Ferrari's were normally "this car is terrible" not "this car is a death-trap".
Football - Austria lost to Wales 1-2. Apparently they were the better team but just couldn't score goals. This is an improvement on hopeless and can't score. These are the depths to which the Austrian national team drive me.
TNA - The joke about it being WCW all over again is sadly so true. The first hour is interesting,
The opening segment was brilliant. Kaz and Daniels being the hammy, over-the-top, nuclear cheap heat gaining heels that they are. Magnus the local returning hero wiping the floor with the evil-doers. Oh it was beautiful.
The whole thing in general seems to be a throw back to good vs evil followed by wrestling. I approve.
I also approve of Robbie E, and his desperate back-pedalling when Robbie T was all grr argh! about E's insulting of all Britain.
Even Tazz being "I am the evil, evil commentator" worked and I'm thinking, yes, this is good.
And then the Aces and Eights nonsense really kicked in and it all went to hell. I mean, I don't believe Mr. Anderson as a member of a gang (any gang, not just Aces and Eights, he's just un-club-able), and so you already have an entirely disparate group that makes very little sense before wrestlers-and-promoters: the next generation turn out to have been in the group for no good reason. It's the no good reason I object to. I, oddly, hope for an explanatory promo next week. I feel sullied and unusual for wanting this but I want to know WTF the explanation is going to be.
