RAW ratings getting lower & lower? No surprise. Hey Vince, people want to see “wrestling”, not “family entertainment”…

Leave a comment

Last Monday’s RAW which was May 29th was the second lowest rated in WWE HIstory. There was one WCW Monday Nitro episode that did a lot lower. RAW ratings has been getting lower and lower these days.

Check out this article:

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2017/0602/626759/wwe-monday-night-raw-rating-second-lowest-in-history/

Since the RAW ratings has been getting so low, this made former WWE writer, Vince Russo reach out to Vince McMahon in hopes of maybe returning to WWE as a writer. There’s a lot of talk that Vince maybe all for Russo in coming back ’cause pro wrestling these days needs a lot of help.

Why are WWE shows tanking in the ratings these days? Hmmmmmm let me guess these reasons, shall we?

  • People don’t like the PG era of wrestling: The PG era of wrestling has been going on for too long now and we’re fed up with it. Watching WWE shows these days feels like watching Disney almost which is sad.
  • Vince McMahon ignores “wrestling” completely: Vince doesn’t want anything to do with wrestling in WWE anymore. He can ignore the wrestling part all he wants but WWE will always be wrestling no matter what you think of it. We just want Vince calling it “wrestling” again like he used to do in the 80’s and 90’s.
  • Bad storylines: Storylines in WWE are starting to get bad again. Sometimes they get real good and sometimes they go downhill. Well, they’re going downhill. I think this Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt feud is really dumb.
  • Bad booking of ppv shows: Enough said? The booking of matches is getting horrible these days as well.
  • Vince pushes the WWE superstars that he likes, not giving what the fans want: For example, Vince keeps ramming Roman Reigns down our throats. A lot of wrestling fans don’t like Roman Reigns and they feel that Vince should be pushing some of the other talent to the top that deserve it more… for example superstars like Finn Balor, Sami Zayn, Luke Harper deserves to get pushed more.
  • We want to see Hardcore wrestling back and bring back the blood too: I really miss the hardcore days of wrestling back in the day. Wow. That was some great shit! Back in the days when WWE used to be real good. Lots of barbed wire, thumb tacks and all kinds of weapons were being used. I miss all the blood in wrestling too ’cause the blood is what makes wrestling matches exciting as hell. God, I miss the old days!

There, you get the idea. For the most part, people are getting fed up with wrestling being for children. How about something for everybody, ya know?

The problem is Vince just like to please himself when it comes to WWE shows. Everything you see on TV goes through Vince’s approval. If he likes it, he’ll use it. If he doesn’t he’ll trash it. Read Chris Jericho’s books for proof on that. He really needs to concentrate on giving what the fans want but he never does.

How about changing the WWE shows that are more aimed toward the “smart” fans instead of trying to reach an audience who are “marks”? The wrestling term “mark” is a fan who believes wrestling is real. A “smart” fan means the complete opposite.

Yeah, I’m a huge wrestling fanatic but would like to see the business improve myself. Sad ’cause there are so many talented new and young talent like Finn Balor, Aj Styles and Samoa Joe are a few of my favorites right now. Another favorite performer of mine is Asuka, who is a female wrestler on NXT but she’s not on RAW yet. She’s fucking awesome, though.

The WWE really need to step up their game. How about bringing back “wrestling”? That’s what people want to see!

Bernie hates rich people but he’s rich himself, how nice…

Leave a comment

With Bernie Sanders owning 3 homes in the United States and having a really hot sports car, this article doesn’t come to a surprise at all. Bernie spent a lot of time throughout the campaign trail, going on TV interviews and going on twitter bashing rich people. It’s quite obvious that Bernie has a lot of hatred for rich people but Bernie is rich himself.

Check this article out:

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/06/05/bernie-sanders-the-senator-who-hates-rich-people-made-more-than-1-million-last-year/

Ya know, if poverty is such a problem then why don’t Bernie give up some of his money for the poor? You never see Bernie donating money to the homeless and there are also all kinds of charities out there where you can donate money to the poor  but you never see Bernie and his die-hard fan base doing any of that. Instead they’re hating on rich people.

Bernie Sanders, another liberal hypocrite politician. Nothing to see here. A hypocrite like the rest of ’em in Congress. I don’t know why those libtards love Bernie Sanders so much when he hasn’t accomplished anything. He’s also another “All Talk and no action” loser. Just talks a bunch of good stuff and gets nothing done but libtards still love him.

I never liked Bernie from the very beginning and still don’t. Glad I never supported this crazy old loon.

music

21 years ago today Metallica’s album “Load” was released…

Leave a comment

Metallica’s “Load” sparked a lot of outrage from Metallica fans. Why? Simply because Metallica has finally had it with thrash metal and hair metal so they decided to ditch it all. They changed their sound and got a hair cut too. Fans weren’t too happy about that at all. They were accused of going “alternative” ’cause of it. They just wanted to change their sound ’cause they have grown tired of thrash metal. They finally wanted to grow out of writing 10 minute headbanging songs to focus on songwriting.

The album got a lot of mixed reviews over the years but I still find it a great album. I loved every song. It showed that Metallica weren’t afraid to be different musically.

I don’t know why fans still bash Metallica for “Load & Reload” ’cause I think both are great albums. Even though they got rid of thrash metal with the two albums, they are still heavy. I’ve always supported Metallica no matter what they did. I even thought “St. Anger” was a great album too. I love all of their music!

I just love how Metallica aren’t afraid to make music they want to make and don’t give a shit what people thought of them. That I think is the reason why I respect the band so much.

When will liberals stop it with their boring, “We must stop the hate & love all people” bullshit… they’re gonna get us all killed ’cause of it…

Leave a comment

At every turn each time you criticize a certain group of people and call them for what they are, those liberals will cry out, “We must stop the hate & love all people”. It’s been going on for a long while now and we Americans are so tired of it. It’s a huge part of why we elected Donald Trump as president ’cause we’re so tired of the left’s “political correctness”.

Libtards do this each time…. let me give you some examples:

  • You think some blacks are dangerous criminals and call them “thugs”, they’ll call you racist. Then they cry out “We must stop the hate & love all people” which was how the Black Lives Matter movement started to begin with. Thanks to Obama, he has successfully gotten liberals to disrespect and hate our law enforcement. Sad.
  • You criticize Islam, call some Muslims “terrorists” and think that Islam is the problem in this country, once again they’ll call you racists and come up with interesting names like bigots. They also cry out “We must stop the hate & love all people”.
  • When talking about “illegal aliens” from down south, illegal aliens such as Mexicans and South America… you call them dangerous people… liberals will be like, “racist” and “bigots”. Once again, they cry out “We must stop the hate and love all people”.
  • When talking about refugees and if we say we don’t want ’em… again, “We must stop the hate & love all people”.

Okay, I think you get my point now and all of this is getting really annoying, tiresome and getting old too.

Look, y’all, I love people of all types. We don’t hate everyone and everything. It’s just that not everyone is your friend, ya know? What will it take to get liberals to realize and wake up that there are bad people out there? They’re gonna get us all killed ’cause of their obsession with “political correctness”. Not calling things for what they are.

Yes, there are some bad black people, some bad Muslims, some bad illegal aliens and some bad refugees. We’re not saying all of them, just some of them. Yet we still get called racist, bigots and every name in the book.

Liberals are the most delusional people I’ve ever seen. Liberals think this way ’cause the media protects those group of people I listed above. That’s probably why they won’t wake up.

Us conservatives are trying to look out for you too liberals but you won’t let us. We’re concerned for everyone’s safety and well-being, including YOU. That’s why we get pissed off and angry at liberals ’cause they don’t want to wake up yet. It’s why we really despise liberals and why we’re getting fed up with them.

We just had another terrorist attack in London ’cause of all this political correctness by liberals. Why are terrorist attacks happening in the UK more? It’s because they let in too many Muslims and refugees and now they’re paying for it. This is the whole point of Trump’s travel ban, you idiots. Why can’t you get it yet? Nope…. “We must stop the hate and LOVE all people”.

We’re gonna get more terrorist attacks in the US if we don’t close the borders. Not everyone is your friend. I’m not gonna love everyone. If someone is a bad person, I’m gonna call it for what it is, I don’t care what race and religion that person is.

From this point on I think I’m going to read books from the Kindle app on Ipad, I would like to buy a Kindle gadget at some point, though…

Leave a comment

Yesterday, I bought a bunch of books from the Kindle app on my Ipad. I am finding that reading books on the Kindle is a lot better than reading them on Apple’s “Ibooks”. The “Ibooks” app is really crap, though. Kindle is way better. I don’t have a Kindle gadget yet but I do plan on buying one sometime. I’m sure I can buy a cheap Kindle gadget for at least $80 or a little more. You can still read Kindle amazon books on an Ipad.

I like Kindle more than Ibooks ’cause of the prices for the most part. Books in Ibooks can be pretty pricey but Kindle books are definitely affordable and cheap.

I bought several more guitar instructional books on the Kindle app. Mostly books that would spice up my lead guitar playing, theory knowledge and rhythm playing. I also bought books about other stuff. There were guitar instructional books that Kindle had that the Ibooks didn’t have. That’s what made me want to go to Kindle.

Kindle is pretty nice actually and I can see why it’s gotten so popular. Kindle app is much easier to read and easier to use than the Ibooks, in my opinion. Apple’s Ibooks is pretty much garbage.

Reading books is another one of my favorite things to do. There are times where I want my peace and quiet. There are times where I don’t feel like playing music or watching TV, just read books. Reading is good for ya. I’ve always been into reading books ever since I was a kid.

Tom Cruise reveals more details about “Top Gun 2” and also reveals the title…

Leave a comment

Tom Cruise the man himself did this interview with Access Hollywood and he gave us more details on the upcoming “Top Gun” sequel. He says the name of the movie is gonna be, “Top Gun: Maverick”.

Tom says that the next film is gonna have the same tone as the first one. It’s gonna be pretty much the same as the first. Same music. Same style. Everything. Yes, they’re gonna use the same music that was composed by Harold Faltermeyer.

So if you loved the first movie, don’t worry y’all, sounds like the film crew will not want to disappoint you at all. It’s gonna be a movie that Top Gun fans would want. It’ll have everything the jets and more flying like the first one.

Since Tom said that they will be bringing back the same music does that mean they’ll be using the “Anthem” theme song which is the main theme of the movie? (listen to song in video below).

While I’m glad a Top Gun sequel is happening and it’s going to be pretty similar to the first one, it’s still going to be slightly different ’cause why? Different director. Tony Scott was the one that made the film for what it is. Even if a different director tries to match Tony’s filming style, he won’t be able to do it. Each director has his own style.

One thing to think about though, will everyone from the first movie return for the sequel? Will it be a full-on reunion? Kelly McGillis coming back as Maverick’s girlfriend, Charlie? Tom Skerritt reprise his role as Viper? Val Kilmer coming back as Iceman? Hopefully. I think they all will probably return.

I hope they do a good job with the sequel ’cause if they do it right, I can see it being a huge box office hit. Top Gun was one of Tom’s best films. It’s a film that has been a part of all of our lives.

I wonder who the director is gonna be? Tony is gone so he won’t do it obviously. I’m sure they will find a director and hope they pick a good one.

Just saw “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” and it was great…

Leave a comment

I don’t do movie reviews much anymore ’cause I’m getting kind of bored of ’em and on top of that, I’m losing interest in seeing new movies lately. Nothing really good out these days, ya know? I did see a good movie finally and that’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” so I’ll briefly review that one.

The movie was fun and entertaining like the first one was except I thought the 2nd one was way better than the first. Casting of the 2nd movie was great. Michael Rooker was awesome and so was Kurt Russell. Like usual Kurt Russell kills it like he does in every movie he stars in. It was awesome seeing Kurt and Michael Rooker play in a movie together. The story was good. The jokes in the movie were hilarious as I couldn’t help myself but crack up at some of the jokes in the movie. Some of it even got me laughing. The action was a blast to watch, though.

While the movie was fun and entertaining, I was most impressed with Sly’s cameo. Sly Stallone was in the movie but not very much. Sly played a character named Stakar Ogord. Even though his role was small, Stallone is already getting so much attention out of that character. There’s already a lot of demand that fans wants to see more of Stakar and I agree. That character was awesome & Sly did a great job playing him. It was cool seeing Sly and Michael Rooker in a same scene together. This wasn’t the first time those two starred in a movie together as they were in “Cliffhanger” together, remember that movie? We need to see more Stakar, so hopefully Sly’s character gets his own solo movie or he’ll be in more of “Guardians 3”.

So did Sly Stallone and Kurt Russell reunite? Well, it’s not what you think so no. While Sly and Kurt were in the same movie together, they never played in any scenes together at all which kind of sucks. I was hoping for some sort of Tango & Cash reunion myself but we never got that unfortunately. I’m sure Sly and Kurt hung out some on set behind the scenes as I’m sure those guys are still great friends.

One thing for sure, I’m so impressed with Dave Bautista’s acting skills. Most professional wrestlers that turn into actors don’t have good acting skills (yeah, Dwayne Johnson is not that good of an actor) but I’m impressed with Dave. Most guys with big muscles are horrible at acting but Dave’s got the skills. If you want to know why Dave is starring in a lot of big movies lately and why he’s doing so great in the industry is ’cause he’s a good actor. I always knew that Dave was a good actor ’cause I used to watch him in WWE back in the day. Once again, Dave is one wrestler actor who has actual talent. He may be a huge guy with big muscles but he also has a good speaking voice. I just like his voice, it’s so badass.

“Guardians 2” was a great movie and I’m definitely getting it on Blu Ray when it comes out. If you’re a fan of superhero flicks, you should definitely see this yourself.

Today is another exciting and historic day but this is just the beginning, still a lot of work to do…

1 Comment

While today’s good announcement by President Trump that he’s pulling the US out of the Paris Climate Accord is freakin’ awesome and history making… another promise kept to keep America first. NeverTrumpers and FakeTrumpers kept doubting Trump about putting “America First” well, I think he just silenced the doubters once again.

Of course, this announcement by Trump upset the liberals and all those Climate Change fanatics. Yeah, I’m a Climate Change denier and quite proud of it. It’s funny watching all these celebrities get upset over it even more, though. I mean, if these celebs really cared about Climate Change then why do they collect all these cars at their homes? Why do they travel in really long limos to get to places where they want to go? Why do they have their own private jets? Why do they have electricity in their mansions when they are capable of getting solar panels for their homes? These celebs are hypocrites like usual. Also, they party on their yachts like a bunch of high schoolers.

I don’t believe in man-made Climate Change. It’s such a joke that these libtards think they can change the temperature or change the weather or whatever.

I believe in Science and LOVE IT. I do believe pollution is real but you don’t see the left doing anything to clear up the air and clean the water in our rivers, lakes or even the oceans. This “Fight For Climate Change” movement is silly. Liberals are more concerned about that than terrorism?

I do believe in making the environment better, though, don’t get me wrong… I just don’t believe “climate” is man made.

If you want to see “real” Climate Change look at the sun or the sky or the four seasons: Fall/Winter/Spring/Summer. That’s all the Climate Change there is really.

You liberals and snowflakes are upset about this? Well, this is just the beginning ’cause there will be even more winning up ahead. Trump will make you so mad that he’ll make you bang your head on your computer desks.

Hillary blamed her own party and the NY Times for her loss… yet Fake News MSM continues to kiss her ass…

Leave a comment

HillaryClintonBlameGame1

Hillary still can’t get over it. Playing the blame game. She wants to blame everyone and everything. One excuse after another. When most candidates lose President elections, they don’t whine like a baby. Never before have I seen someone who won’t accept a loss. Most presidential candidates over the years who lose elections, just moves on and forgets about it but not Hillary. This cunt wants to blame everyone and everything when she can’t get the hint no one likes her. Even many on the left don’t even like her.

It’s funny that she even blamed her own party and The New York Times, yet the liberal Fake News MSM continues to kiss her ass and be a lapdog for her. Like most, I’m so tired of Hillary and wish she would go away for ever and ever.

Anyone who finds Hillary a likeable person has all kinds of mental problems themselves. If you find Hillary a likeable person, well you probably watch CNN, NBC and all that crap.

The reasons we didn’t vote for Hillary in 2016, the real reasons she lost the election:

  • Benghazi
  • The private e-mail server
  • She’s the most scandalous person ever
  • She’s a liar, a cunt, a vile and evil person

There, that’s it.

Hillary lost, Donald won. Unfortunately, the snowflakes hasn’t gotten over it yet.

I’m thinking of learning blues & jazz guitar after all ’cause it could help with metal playing…

Leave a comment

When I first started playing guitar, I started to learn to play electric blues guitar but got kind of bored with it and stopped. Moved on to rock n’ roll and metal for a little bit. Then I switched to acoustic guitar full time for a lot of years.

Now I’m back to electric again, I’m thinking learning blues music again. I really should. I’m planning to buy a few blues guitar instructional books soon. I’m also planning to buy a few jazz guitar instruction books ’cause I should really learn to play jazz as well.

Other than me listening to a lot of metal lately, I also love listening to blues & jazz. I listen to a lot of that stuff. Whenever I don’t feel like listening to loud guitars, I would listen to something relaxing like blues and jazz.

For blues music: I like to listen to Joe Bonamassa, B.B. King, SRV, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Albert King, John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker, Gary Moore, etc.

For Jazz: I like Al Di Meola, Wes Montgomery, Django Reinhardt, George Benson, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, etc.

I listen to more blues & jazz for guitar inspiration. Sure, Miles Davis and John Coltrane weren’t guitarists but man, listening to their music can help you become a good guitar player too. When listening to jazz music, you don’t need to listen to jazz guitarists to become a better guitarist. On the guitar, you can play by ear by listening to Coltrane’s sax and play what he’s doing. Same with Miles Davis’s trumpet.

I’ve been listening to a lot of jazz & blues. I don’t necessarily want to become a jazz & blues guitarist… I still want to play metal but experimental metal. I want to learn more than just power chords and pentatonic scales, ya know? Branch out and learn different things. It’s good for ya as a musician and guitarist.

It’s annoying when guitarists stick to one genre of music. I like to listen to a bit of everything and it’s important to be a versatile guitar player.
