Um... Did we loose a show?

I used screen capture for this post

Okay went to watch the Dec 30th episode of TNA Reaction.  Which was really not much of a show, as it was only Eric Bishoff talking in snips.

And what do I see... the background images have been updated which caused a big "gggrrrrr arrrr" from me because the photo of the MotorCityMachine Guns! is no longer on the Spike TNA page.  That blows goat balls.

Then, I see there is no listing for Reaction tonight.  I check the listings on Yahoo for the next two weeks, and there is no listing at all for Reaction.  Umm.... go back to the Spike TNA page and see, they've got it listed as just Impact at 9pm on Thursdays now.

Does this mean we lost Reaction?  Or is it just mid season down time?
Seriously,  I'm not too shocked if we lost Reaction all together, it was marginal at best. Too many tech issues trying to watch it on the Spike website always gave me a headache. And given the fact that the main event from Impact was always carried over to Reaction, which never got posted at a decent time, (sometimes a full two weeks late) which caused major issues with keeping up the storylines fans were pissed as many of us could only see Reaction on the Spike site.

I'm more upset about the fact the photo of Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley was removed from background photo of  the Spike TNA page. 

Seriously, that page should reflect the current champs only.  It would make more sense.

The 50 book challenge

There is a buzz happening around the internet.  Alot of book bloggers are doing the 2011 Challenge of 50 books in the year.

I thought about it.
I counted up the amount of books I read in 2010 = 32 books.  Most  of which were for review and only 7 of which were for fun.

If I end up reading 50 books this year it won't be on purpose.

Anyways... good luck to those who have decided to take part in the 50 books challenge.

TNA Reaction for Dec 23rd 2010

Yes, they finally posted the show on the Spike site... over two weeks late.

We pick up in the middle of a match between MotorCityMachine Guns!/RVD/Matt Morgan  vs Jeff Hardy/Abyss/Beer Money Inc.   This is for the tag belts, and if anyone pins anyone, the MMG loose.  Chris Sabin pinned Robert Roode keeping the tag belts.

Cut to camera 1  Matt Morgan talking about getting a title shot.

Cut to camera 2 Mr. Anderson talking about how he may not be a "good champ"  ... um okay

Cut to camera 3 A.J. Styles talking about how he's got to win his match for the tv title or he will be out of Fortune.

Cut to camera 4, Jeff Jarrett talking about his MMA challenge.

Cut to camera 5, the Knock Outs talking about the twist in the their tag teams.

Cut back to camera 1, Morgan talking about his recent match with Hardy and having been screwed over.

Cut back to camera 2, Anderson talking about how things have gone for him recently.   Then it went back and forth between Anderson and Morgan for the next few minutes.

Cut to camera 6, Jeff Hardy saying how he's running things.

Cut back to camera 1, Morgan talking about how he's involved with charities on his time off and how he'd be a better face for the company.

Cut back to camera 2, Anderson saying how he's sick and tired of seeing the people in charge who are.

Cut back to camera 3, A.J. Styles talking about his iron man  match with Douglas Williams.

Cut to camera 7, Douglas Williams giving his side of the match. It went back and forth between Williams and Styles then for the next part of the segment.  Both wrestlers saying they wish they had a few minutes extra in that match.   Could we be seeing the return of the  A.J. Styles we all remember?  Here's hoping

Can we get rid of whatshishandle that does the interviews on this show?  I think bringing in J.B. for Reaction would be a better bet. 

Cut back to camera 4, Jeff Jarrett saying how he hopes everyone is finally taking him serious about his MMA.

Cut back to camera 5, Velvet Sky talking about having gotten sent to the hospital. And the rest of the Knock Outs talking about how the tournament got a face lift.

Cut back to camera 3, Styles putting a cap on his feud with Williams.

Cut to camera 8, Kazarian... Kaz... The KazzyKatman (oh yeah you got an internet nic name from me be scared) talking about how Styles should be on top of the company.

Cut to camera 9, MMG, Alex Shelley talking about how they are the best and that; that is because they work their asses off day in and day out.

The last two minutes was just a peek at the next episode which will be a recap of 2010

This was a weak episode.  Reaction gets a D- this week from me

It's all about the flavour

or in this case the header.   I was looking at the header on my cooking blog, thinking it's time for a new one.
Most cooking blogs out there use food photos or professional cartoons for there's.  Something that fits in with their personal theme.

I don't really have one, other then I'm from Newfoundland.  I suppose my title My Newfie Kitchen is theme enough.  But my header just doesn't scream that. 


While I've got your attention on the food ... dudes... I have to send a very big and jealous shout out to Suzie the Foodie who got to interview a few celebrity chefs recently.   Suzie, if you ever want a tag team partner... er um back up interviewer next time  you have to face Anthony Sedlak call me.

Angry Fans... The next chapter

Yep Yep Yep Yep!  I see we have 131 comments on the Spike site for TNA's page... the last 5 (as of 10pm EST) all yelling for the last two week's worth of shows. 

Yes, you read me right my lovely Spudguns, TWO WEEKS behind on posting the shows. 

I do understand this time of year with it being the Xmas holidays - but if the shows are pre-taped then why can't they put them on timer?  There has to be some sort of worker monkey who is in the offices during the holidays... cause I see other stuff has been posted in the last week.   Yes, that is my answer for everything, in this age of mini computers that fit in our pockets there should be a timer button at the offices for posting the shows.  I mean man, we can Tivo everything so why not ....

Now, for me, since I'm waiting to see the Dec 23rd episode of Reaction so that I can watch it first before watching the Dec 30th episode of Impact -which is sitting waiting in my iTunes - I hate watching stuff out of order it bothers me. I like to watch the soaps in order damn it!

First of the Year

The first book review of the year is up.  "Yours For The Taking" 

Not what I was expecting in a romance which is very good.  Actually, the author Robin Kaye writes much like the way I do as far as "romantic stories" go.  Always a plus to read something in the same style as your own.

If that is the direction of romance novels then I might have to start reading that genre again.  I used to read romance novels all the time when I was younger, but found as I got older they stayed in the same vein.  The other option only seemed to be softcore porn (erotica)  which is too much the other direction for my taste.  

Oh hush!

Asking Wrestlers Stupid Questions - part 4

I used screen capture for this post

What is really in the beer bottles that James Storm drinks every week on TNA Impact and how much does he really drink on air?

I thought this was a nice light fluffy way to start off the new year, given everyone has been most likely celebrating the New Year changing into 2011, and most likely can not focus on the computer screen too much because of too much celebrating.
Not me of course cause I'm a total hoser and did nothing last night other another book review.

Happy New Year......
