Wrastlyng
Time to talk wrestling since I haven't in quite a time, and talking about myself depresses me.
Christian quit the WWE is the biggest news. This is perhaps the greatest move any wrestler could make and one many have been calling for someone to make. For perhaps the most popular heel in the company besides Triple H to have been dropped from the Main Event scene directly to the jobber fest that is Velocity was an absolute tragedy. Christian was popular and successful, so the E naturally tried to kill that as quickly as possible. Usually the wrestler flounders until they become a joke, but Christian was sick of it and said "fuck you" to Vinnie and his gang of idiots. Now Christian is TNA bound and where he will be much more appreciated. I see a NWA World Heavyweight title reign in the future of Jay "Christian" Reso.
Ring of Honor, a company I love, now a company that is saying "fuck you" directly to all northern New England fans. ROH is cancelling the January Boston show and has decided not to run Boston as a venue anymore. I don't know whether this is due to the quality of fans, which shouldn't matter, or the lack of a base building in the area, which also shouldn't matter. Abandoning the fans that put you where you are will only create resentment. Moving out to the midwest will alienate east coast fans. At a time Ring of Honor should be looking to expand, they are narrowing their focus. Don't give up on us Ring of Honor.
Akira Taue won the GHC Heavyweight title from "Mr. Failure" Takeshi Rikio. I couldn't be happier with this win. This takes the belt of an incredibly lackluster champion and gets it to someone that sorely deserved a title reign. Taue can still go despite his age and condition. Now he can defend it once or twice before dropping it onto a long term champion, most likely Jun Akiyama. Whatever happens, it's great for Taue to finally be the champion again, now that it's been nine years since his Triple Crown reign.
Wrestling keeps me afloat. So does watching movies, but wrestling keeps me sane.
