redfiona99: (50 Kinky Ways)
I think a problem occurs when you've been watching too long, on those rare occasions that you get the chance to watch, you do, more to check how everyone is than any interest in watching.

RAW )

Smackdown )

ECW, disturbingly, once again the best of the three )

I haven't been able to watch much wrestling while I've been at home. Mostly disjointed TNA which lends itself to thoughts such as Consequence Creed's music is exceptionally awesome, nothing in TNA makes any sense and why am I not inundated by Steiner/Williams fic? It has everything, cutesy nicknames and some fantastically kinky possibility. It's everything Nash/Shelley from last year was, only without the icky STDs. And then I realise I'm one of two people I know who even like Scott Steiner, and the other one doesn't do wrestle fic anymore.

I have stopped trying to have sensible thoughts when it comes to TNA. However, one sensible question re: the Motor City Machine Guns - why the masks?

I have, however, been able to see the following:

The Dirt Sheet on ECW. As I said before, I have no idea how or when, but the Miz and John Morrison have become the best thing on, quite regularly. The new year's resolutions in particular were amazing. I <3 them so much.

Smackdown - all of it Spoilers )

Raw - Only the bits they showed on Bottom Line )
redfiona99: (ski-jumping)
Lots of other things too, but mostly I'm enjoying being home and being able to watch the ski-jumping and the skiing and everything else.

They've decided to put photos of the participants next to their names when they stick them up. As per usual, they're terrible photos, particularly for the ski-jumpers. The ones where they don't look 15, make them look like mugshots, which is particularly bizarre as the mugshottier ones belong to some of the nicest guys on the tour. Dmitri Vassiliev's is particularly bad, which is odd because he's one of the better looking jumpers on the tour.

I found out that Janne Ahonen has retired which makes me sad, because, despite him regularly beating Austrians, he was brilliant and I'm fond of him. He's also the guy in the icon.

It has also lead to me finding out about an excessively attractive Südtirolese skiier (http://www.patrickthaler.com/). Shame he officially counts as Italian.

Ivica Kostelic won, and then they said that it was his first win in 5 years, which, well it has to be true, but I can barely believe it.

Other than that, I caught the end of Afterburn, which featured Jeff pwning Edge (and me cheering for him - I feel strange and unusual) and the usual Smackdown hijinks. Where is the Maryse/Michelle McCool femme-slash?

Then I caught ECW, and well, I was deeply amused by the Kofi Kingston, CM Punk and Ricky Ortiz and Tiffany/Eve/whichever one she is's present. CM Punk does a good impression of that friend of yours who regularly mocks you and yet you still like.

I have no words for the awesome that regularly is the Miz and Morrison. I <3 them and their heelish, cheating ways.

I liked Hornswaggle taunting Striker and someday someone will explain why WWE keeping having their evil monster heels reading poetry at us (although it did lead to Tony Atlas in raindeer antlers and nose).

In short, I enjoyed myself immensely.

Dear people in charge of wrestling, when ECW, which you've all been treating like the illegitemate offspring, is the best damn thing on.

I loved the set up for the 4 way, and much though I knew that either Stevie Richards or Kevin Thorn would be the first one out, I really enjoyed it. I must admit to a fondness for the befanged one.

Balls Mahoney and Kelly Kelly should not be as cute and adorable as they are, and the Miz should not be so good at dickish heel. Not should the rest of the Extreme Expose girls, who appear to have at least vaguely got the concept of dancing now.

ECW reminds me of what I used to like about TNA back in the day (this week's episode terrified me with the prospect of Sting actually learning from his mistakes) just with no X-division matches.

~~~~

The only other comment I have, is that after RAW of 17/09, given the last match and who ran in, why am I not deluged with fics about fathers and sons. I'd give it a try, only I've still never heard Cody Rhodes talk.

For the first time in ages I have been able to watch wrestling. So you will all get squeeing about it.

RAW )

Smackdown )

One of my 2 ECW thoughts doesn't have to be cut - I want Kevin Thorn's coat. And his manager, but you know, I can live with just the coat.

The other one is me squeaking over some brilliant ring psychology )

Impact )

I'm enjoying it. This could just be absense making the heart grow fonder though.

SD

- Some of the suplexes the Benoit did in his match were beautiful.
- Sylvain. Maybe not for long, but Sylvain.

ECW

- It disturbs me that when Dupree comes out and does his blatently heel spiel, that I know I'm supposed to boo and hiss at, I find myself nodding and agreeing. And that this nodding has nothing to do with it being Rene, heck even Cena could say it and I'd be nodding and agreeing.

- Long hair suits Dupree though, it makes him look slightly older and less fresh-faced.

- In following to that previous thought, damn me if Dupree isn't the only guy on any show that comes close to being as attractive as Sylvain.

- Interestingly, I think ECW had the best wrestling of the shows I've seen.

RAW

- Mickie James's punches are actually possibly worse than Lita's. This depresses me. Victoria getting a push, on the other hand, makes me very happy.

Doctor Who was so good eeeee! (Okay, the 1st half hour, not so good, the last 15 minutes excellent)
CSI:NY eeee
House also eeee (Sky plus is also eeeee for it means taping without tape, which is good since the new video machine is of Satan and will not be programmed to tape.)
Smackdown tonight was the special eee, due to Tazz and ECW and the draft pick who probably still counts as a spoiler but who is especially eeee, and also Cole and Tazz are soooooooooooo married. It came across even more than usual.
