I’ve taken some heat from the readers here for not having a decades-long knowledge of professional wrestling. Like I’ve said, I haven’t been watching it all that long. But I have been watching long enough to have my favorites. And Eddie Guerrero was certainly one of them. Eddie Guerrero passed away on Sunday, November 13th. [...]

Man, what a disappointing week I’ve had. A big project I was working on got shot down. The release of my favorite winter beer, Never Summer Ale (from the Boulder Beer Company) has been delayed. And it was a pretty low-key episode of The Biggest Loser. On the plus side, at least Shannon was killed. [...]

RAW has been on such a downswing lately that anything short of Vince pulling items out of someone’s ass has to be considered at least a moderate success. Such was the case tonight. While nothing great happened, nothing embarrassing happened either. Except near the end when I got in a farting contest with my golden [...]

When you think about it, villains are what make life more interesting. Which is why The Biggest Loser is becoming harder to recap with each passing week. There are no real bad guys for us to hate. I mean, I wouldn’t share an elevator with Suzi, but that’s only because her constant squeaking makes it [...]

Well, seven days have come and gone since last week’s asscapades. And while I wasn’t sure if I’d even bother with a recap this week, passing out candy to the kids on my favorite holiday put me in such a good mood I felt I had to give it a shot. Besides, after last week’s [...]

What’s an episode of The Biggest Loser without an unsubtle reminder that the show isn’t just about losing weight. It’s also about inspiring nations. And changing lives. Such as the life of Aaron from last year, who’s lost 60 lbs since his time at the ranch. His secret? Getting rid of his car and getting [...]

Ever wonder what it’s like to be Fairplayed? Well, if you were unfortunate enough to catch this week’s episode of RAW, you need wonder no more. This was a Fairplay of epic proportions. An upper decker for the ages. Capped off with a ten-minute skit of Vince McMahon pulling various items out of JR’s ass. [...]

For some reason, I’m having a hard time coming up with a clever intro for this week’s recap. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m totally hungover. Or maybe it’s that, for some strange reason, my Tivo decided to record the first few minutes of According To Jim before switching over to The Biggest Loser midway [...]

So it’s been three weeks since RAW returned to USA. And for a while tonight, it actually felt like the RAW of old. Between Mick Foley’s appearance on the Cabana, Stone Cold’s drunken tirade and The Rock’s constant promos for Doom, it was like taking a ride in the Wayback Machine. All that was missing [...]

The Biggest Loser is the show that changes lives and inspires a nation. And, hopefully, teaches a few valuable life lessons along the way. So what have we learned so far this season? That losing weight is hard. That fat people have feelings too. And that readers don’t like it when I make too many [...]

After last week’s showdown, speculation was rampant tonight as to who would be fired: Toral? Markus? Dawn? Oops, wrong show. Although a RAW firing was imminent – after all, Stone Cold had stunned the entire McMahon family last week, and Vince promised that someone would be fired over it. Tonight’s show opened with the only [...]

First J-Unit, then sg-dub, and now me. Yes, I too am jumping on the “sorry for being late” apology bandwagon. I wish I had a great story about how I was saving humanity by creating a new algorithm to decode the Gnostic Gospels, but instead I was just trying to save my iPod from the [...]

So, did you guys catch Prison Break tonight? Man, that show has it all: prison family values, the ever-present threat of butt-rape and a character named TeaBag. Of course, RAW isn’t without its own share of deviants, but still… something about setting the show in a prison run by Stacey Keach as the tough-but-fair warden [...]

Tonight’s episode starts off with a mystery: where’d the food go? All that’s left in the kitchen are cryptic signs telling the contestants they’ll have to “order in or dine out”. This sounds suspiciously like a Detour, which, as you know, is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. (Speaking [...]

I wish I couldn’t see them. Tonight’s RAW recap is brought to you by the letters “S, A, O and F”, as in “Sam Adams OctoberFest.” Yummy down on this indeed… Tonight marked the end of RAW’s five-year run on Lifetime for Men, otherwise known as Spike TV. And what a long, strange five years [...]

First off, let me say the response to last week’s recap was nothing short of amazing. (For me, at least.) I received more comments than I have for any of my RAW recaps. (Maybe more than all my RAW recaps combined, but since I’m about as good at math as Johnny Fairplay is at staying [...]

Tonight’s RAW originated in Wichita Falls, Texas. (Thought I was going to say Kansas, didn’t you? I did too, until JR pointed out it was in Texas.) And as is usually the case following a PPV (in this case, last night’s Unforgiven), the show had several questions to address: How would Eric Bischoff resolve the [...]

Tuesday night was the super-sized 90-minute premiere of NBC’s The Biggest Loser, in which a bevy of obesity competes to see who can lose the most weight without resorting to surgery and/or radical diets such as living on an island for 39 days. The first season, as NBC reminds us time and again, “changed lives [...]

Is it just me, or has RAW been getting a bit repetitious lately? Week in and week out, general manager Eric Bischoff puts Cena in a variety of unfair matches, all designed to take his title. And week in and week out, Cena somehow overcomes the odds and wins. It’s really starting to make writing [...]

After outwitting, outlasting and outplaying all but one of her fellow castaways on Survivor: Palau, runner-up Katie Gallagher was unable to outrun the police, who arrested her for DUI in her hometown of Merced, California. It’s good to see Katie’s as inept at drinking as she is at every other physical challenge ever thrown her [...]

So, how was your Labor Day weekend? Yeah, I know that question’s a day late, but then so’s this week’s recap. But at least I have an excuse: Monday night the wife and I went up to see Tori Amos play Red Rocks. She makes me swoon. (Tori and the wife.) Okay, enough swooning… Monday’s [...]

Tonight’s episode opens with Carlito’s Cabana. And Carlito, who spits in the face of people who don’t want to be cool, is looking full of spit and vinegar. What happened, did Hurricane Katrina delay his shipment of apples? No, he’s just mad because his good buddy Y2J was fired last week. Wait, he’s not mad; [...]

First off, let me apologize for not covering this weekend’s SummerSlam PPV. There are a couple of reasons for this, not the least of which is the wife frowns upon my actually paying to watch wrestling. To make matters worse, after a sunny afternoon spent fence-building and beer-drinking, I was too summer-hammered to try and [...]

When it comes to the WWE, there are three things you can count on: the episode before a big PPV will suck, as they’re resting all the superstars for their big PPV matches; the episode after a big PPV will suck, as the superstars are all recovering from their big PPV matches; and finally, any [...]
