This is the week during which we reflect and give thanks for our bountiful….bounty. Anyway,
* Iâm thankful that JBL (Jiggly Boobs Layfield) is finally being exposed to the masses as a talentless hack who is to professional wrestling (or sports entertainment) what Milli Vanilli was to death metal.
* Iâm thankful that Robert Roode and James Storm are getting their well-deserved run (although the name Beer Money leads to the inevitable calls for âanswerâ teams called âEmergency Rubbers,â âA2M,â âSecret Porn File,â âMilf Listâ or âWeed Stashâ (or does âKronikâ count for that one?)
* Iâm thankful that Mike Adamle has been shown the door. I get a gut feeling that the New American Gladiators and Celebrity Championship Wrestling will not be picked up for renewal so, Mike, thereâs always the Special Olympics broadcast on ABCFamily.
* Iâm thankful that there have been no Pat Patterson wardrobe malfunctions. Iâm pissed there havenât been any Mickie James wardrobe malfunctions. In fact, Iâm pissed thereâs a Mickie James wardrobe at all.
* Iâm thankful that people named F.I.L.T.H.E.E., Grandmaster Caz and Ace Young appeared on TNA broadcasts (praise God) not as new wrestlers.
* Iâm thankful that Mark Madden has a good memory and such a searing distaste for Dallas Page (although I probably will not hold my breath awaiting the âBedroom Secrets of Pamela Paulshockâ series he has promised).
* Iâm thankful that Goldust is back and being used to full effect. Iâm more than a little frightened at the prospect of a Goldust vs. Cody Rhodes feud.
* Iâm thankful that Bobby Lashley is out of the business. Good grief, this guy was ECW World Champion?! Hey, whatever happened to ECW anyway?
* Iâm thankful for Nikki-Rae and Rachel (if you donât know….)
* Iâm thankful that Brock Lesnar manhandled Randy Couture. At least UFC has a name star to build around (albeit one who ragdolled a 43 year-old man at least 10 years removed from his peak who had not fought in two years). Now that Kimbo Slice has been freed up, can Lesnar vs. Kimbo be pencilled in as the money match for 2009?
* Iâm thankful that if I sell one share of WWE stock I can buy a set of Jeff Hardy Day-Glo Green Armbands or half an Edge Beach Towel.
* Iâm thankful that Corey Silkin and Adam Pearce have backed away from their âletâs resurrect the 1970’sâ booking idea for Ring of Honor. Unfortunately, the Love Brothers (Reginald and Hotfart), Tex McKenzie and Tony Parisi have returned to their jobs as Wal-Mart greeters since those potential bookings dried up.
*And Iâm thankful that Wrestlezone is still around (trust me on this one – it does NOT get any better than this site and these contributors).
Have a great Thanksgiving and remember – the Gobbledy Gooker will rise from the Turkey patch and visit only the most gullible marks on Thanksgiving Eve. If he visits you this year, you win a Captain Mike Rotunda shirt! Iâm off to the field.
