The best tag team match in a long time

Yaaaaay!

Finally, Batista, and Benoit got together and had a match against Edge and MVP. Obviously, there are personal issues between Edge and Batista; and between MVP and Benoit. That always makes for a much better match, and this was no exception.

All I can say is that Benoit and Batista are the best in teh biz as far as I am concerned.

What is more, Batista beat the Rared R Super Star in a steel cage match (which unfortunately wasn't shown here) to reclaim his title, and as usual, Edge has been moaning abuot how unfair it all is since then.

Edge is a loser
Edge is a loser
Edge is a loser
Edge is a loser
Edge is a loser
Edge is a loser...

Working with some men is like watching a pissing contest

I have just had the “privilege” of hearing two of my colleagues go head to head on who had the better understanding of some obscure and arbitrary naming convention. Funny thing is that they weren’t even comparing the same one. And it wasn’t even relevant to the conversation. They were just having a pissing contest. Fuckwits.

And all this behind me, getting louder and louder until they were shouting at each other. Eventually I said something about the noise level and they were very offended. They had so lost the original point of the conversation they didn’t even know where to begin again, and adjourned the so-called “meeting” to start again tomorrow.

Just goes to show – never argue with an idiot. He will bring you down his level and then beat you with experience.

Return of the World’s Strongest Man

Last night I watched Marc Henry wrestle Kane, and it was a real treat to see Kane being pushed around somewhat. It was the most interesting thing. Both men stand at 7 feet tall, and in the ring they looked just like normal people battling each other. I have not often seen people push Kane around, or be able to lift him into the air and throw him to the ground with seeming ease.

The self-proclaimed silverback – Marc Henry, who is back from Knee surgery and recovery over a year ago, is on his come back path, and had to go through Kane first. His strategy was very interesting, and he won his bout, although if the match was to be won on points, Kane may have ultimately had the upper hand.

Marc Henry kept getting out of Kane’s way by leaving the ring, but coming back in just before he was counted out. Very clever strategy to get out of the way of the Big Red Machine’s huge ham fists, and choke slam tactics. Especially as you could tell that every now and then his surgically repaired knee was not quite as agile as the other.

After watching them give each other a few beltings back and forth – neither seeming to be the worse for wear, Marc Henry managed to throw Kane out of the ring, and he was counted out and lost the match to Marc Henry.

I had forgotten how agile such a huge man could be – all 400 pounds of Marc Henry are back, and if this first match was anything to go by, his come back trail will be worth watching.
