Nirdu is The House

Kurt Angle has made a surprise jump into TNA wrestling. Might I just say... HO-LEE SHEE-IT!!

This is pretty much the biggest news story of the year in terms of wrestling. After what was pretty much assumed to be a retirement from wrestling after being fired from the "E", and a brief flirtation with MMA, Kurt Angle made the move to stay in wrestling in TNA. Kurt Angle is widely considered to be the greatest wrestler in the world, and was one of the most popular wrestlers in the WWE. This is nothing like Raven, Rhino or even Christian. This is like... uh... well it's like KURT ANGLE! The scenario ran through everybody's head, but nobody thought Angle would go that low or that TNA would have the money. Yet here we are. Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe... OH MY GOD!

With the new primetime slot for Impact! there is now some serious competition for the stale WWE. A serious threat is brewing on the horizon, and I couldn't be any happier.

Jay: You know, sometimes I wish I did a little more with my life instead of hanging out in front of places selling weed and shit. Like, maybe be an animal doctor. Why not me? I like seals and shit. Or maybe an astronaut. Yeah... be the first motherfucker to see a new galaxy, or find a new alien lifeform... and fuck it. People would be like, "There he goes. Homeboy fucked a martian once."

It's been more than a week since my last blog post. It dealt with Naomichi Marufuji winning the GHC Championship. I had wanted to make my next post about the show in Connecticut, and I still will. The next post after this one will cover the whole dealy, I just felt it necessary to update because I'm OCD like that. No need to go this long without a post. I'm just waiting for pictures from the event to update.

No big long post...
I don't feel like it very much. There's not a lot to be said. Y'know, I should really start filling this blog with the random arguments, rationalizations, theological theories, and whatnot that fill my head. That would make for a more interesting blog. Because I need to talk about SOMETHING on this blog other than wrestling, or me watching wrestling, or me going to wrestling. Or school. Or posts like this one which talk about what sort of posts I'm posting. There's a shortage of chairs...

Bob: I was feeling tight in the shoulders and neck, so I called down and had a Shiatsu massage in my room...
Charlotte: Mmh, that's nice!
Bob: And the tightness has completely disappeared and been replaced by unbelievable pain.

The impossible dream...
The champion of the globe...
Naomichi Marufuji...


The man I will see in mere days...
The belt I will see in mere days...
The best year of champions, ever...

In actuality today means little, symbolically it means everything. For the last time ever summer has ended and I return to class. As I write this I have 30 minutes left before my first class. Nothing too taxing, just a bunch of history classes (for my minor) and a movie class.

Now I'm not going to get all nostalgic over summertime and blah blah blah, because I don't care. Maybe 10 years ago when I was a kid, but not now. Shit happened, shit didn't happen, I went places, I did things. Same as any other time of the year. Still...

My extended journey through the American education system takes its first step on the final sprint to the finish today.

Stay black, my friends, stay black.

Leonard Shelby: I'm not a killer. I'm just someone who wanted to make things right. Can't I just let myself forget what you've told me? Can't I just let myself forget what you've made me do. You think I just want another puzzle to solve? Another John G. to look for? You're John G. So you can be my John G... Will I lie to myself to be happy? In your case Teddy... yes I will.

And the new Triple Crown champion, Minoru Suzuki! Believe it because it happened. After only just winning the title months ago, Taiyo Kea dropped the Triple Crown to Minoru Suzuki. A short title reign in Japan, how different! How fun! How unexpected! How good for Suzuki, he finally gets a run with a major title. Perhaps there will be a run of short reigns with the Triple Crown before it gets back on a more stable champion. I would definately like that as it is something that really isn't happening much in Japan right now. America is experiencing some shorter title reigns (except of course ROH, which is seeing a nice long reign from Danielson).

Interesting stuff. This also guarantees that Kea's reign never became stale, sets up a rematch, and creates a new contender in the Triple Crown division.

Reemer: We win, and they get the chicks. That sucks, dude.
Coop: I'm telling you, it's jobs. We gotta get jobs. Then we get the khakis. Then we get the chicks.
