Wheels The Movie

I stumbled across a movie trailer the other day, and feel the need to share with you. It is quite interesting.

The movie is called Wheels.

At first, I couldn't tell if this was a legit movie or not. I mean, we've seen much worse ideas crap out of Hollywood's brainhole... But there is a scene about midway through that kind of gives it away... At least I hope it gives it away. But either way, keep your eyes peeled for Wheels The Movie.

I smell money.

Unrelated (as always), here are some pictures of Neelix this morning. Now that Spring has sprung, he has taken perch in the windowsill above the bed. He didn't do it much when it was cold. What a wuss cat.

Manic Street Preachers - Your Love Alone is Not Enough

I was just searching through Youtube for Nina Persson related songs and came across this. I'd heard about it on the Cardigans discussion board, but this is the first I've ever heard of Manic Street Preachers. I definitely like this song and will be checking out more from them. So this is my find of the day, and I thought I'd post it to ol' blog and share it with you all. Check it out, it's quite catchy. How's that for an endorsement?

MY Wrestlemania 23 Lineup

So since I complained about this year's Wrestlemania lineup, I thought I'd draft up a fantasy lineup of what I would of rather seen. I tried my best to keep in mind current WWE wrestlers and storylines. With the exception of one, I think I did pretty good at working with what I have. Let me know what you think.

And with that, I give you MY Wrestlemania 23 lineup...


Opening Bout:
Cryme Tyme VS World's Greatest Tag Team

Open the show with a great tag team match. However ridiculous you may think Cryme Tyme's gimmick is, they are over with the crowd. I think WWE was really on their mark when they were starting a feud between these two teams that unfortunately fizzled out. Where in my reality, the feud never stopped and got heated enough to open Wrestlemania. Cryme Tyme wins the match to pop the crowd and get them excited.

Winners: Cryme Tyme


WWE Cruiserweight title match:
Gregory Helms VS Jimmy Wang Yang VS Chavo Guerrero Jr.

In my continuity, Helms didn't lose the belt at No Way Out. He's still the champ, and Chavo & Jimmy Wang Yang have been clawing at one another in an attempt to be #1 contender. After a double count out on Smackdown to determine Helms' wrestlemania opponent, Teddy Long decides to give both men the shot. Hard fought match, with Helms and Guererro working over Yang until they explode at one another. That gives Yang the chance to sneak in and get the pin and become the new cruiserweight champion which is a big deal because he finally ended Helms' record setting reign.

Winner: Jimmy Wang Yang


For the ECW World Title
C.M Punk VS R.V.D

Huh? What's going on here? This is the match I am taking the most creative liberties with. Back in December, RVD won the elimination chamber and is the ECW World champ. CM Punk had a good showing, eliminating Test and Sandman, but was pinned by RVD. Since then, RVD has proclaimed that he is the only good thing left about the old ECW and has turned heel. Between now and then, he has gone through his Original friends Sabu, Dreamer & Sandman. All the while, Punk has been gathering up an impressive list of victories and openly challenges RVD for the title. RVD ducks Punk at first, but is persuaded for revenge after Punk pins him in a tag team match. So we have RVD carrying the banner of the old ECW, and Punk is hailed as everything that is right about the new ECW. This match would likely steal the show and be match of the night. And to finally herald in the acceptance of the new ECW brand, RVD puts Punk over and passes a torch (not a doob) to the new generation.

Winner: C.M Punk


MNM vs Brian Kendrik & Paul London vs Rated RKO vs The Hardy's

In my continuity, Rated RKO didn't lose the belts to Cena & HBK and are still the champions. In fact, that Cena/HBK pairing never happened. Ever. Anyway. This match comes about because of the ongoing issues between Rated RKO and The Hardys. Matt & Jeff have been chasing the titles from Orton & Edge, but lost out due to interference from MNM. Nitro & Mercury (He didn't get fired in my continuity) are extremely bitter about not being able to beat the Hardys and end up doing Rated RKO's dirty work. Things come to a head with a #1 contender's match between the Hardy's & MNM. Rated RKO interferes and beat down both teams. On the video screen comes Kendrik & London who inform the Raw tag champs that they are hungry for competition after holding onto the WWE tag titles for so long. They challenge Rated RKO for a match at Wrestlemania to see who are the better tag team champions. On Smackdown Rated RKO show up to respond, but get taken out by an angry MNM. Cue a four way brawl between the four teams and we get our setup for this non-title battle of the tag teams.

Winners: Matt & Jeff Hardy


Battle of the Billionaires
The "Great" Khali VS Shawn Michaels

Yes, I'd still go with the Battle of the Billionaires. Why? Because of all of the media hype and attention they have received. Sure, Donald Trump isn't necessary an A-List celebrity so to speak, but he's certainly done a lot more than other celebs have in the past. So why Khali and Michaels? Well. McMahon would pick Khali to be his representative because Khali is a 7'0 unstoppable monster, the kind McMahon loves. And why would Trump pick HBK? After the past year and the angle with DX, who would be better to be a thorn in Vince's side than Michaels? They always say that HBK is so good that he can literally carry anyone through a match. Well. Khali is the best way to test that statement. Khali eats a superkick, and a we get to see Vince go bald.

Winner: Shawn Michaels



Bobby Lashley VS Marcus Cor Von

This is not for the ECW Heavyweight title, because Lashley isn't the champ in my continuity. Cor Von debuted in January and set his sights on the biggest target in ECW so he can make a name for himself. The feud is pretty much set to determine the next big contender to the ECW World title. The Alpha Male wins it with a poooooouuunnnnce for the upset.

Winner: Marcus Cor Von


Street Fight for the WWE TItle
John Cena VS Umaga

Anyone remember the last time we had an IC champ face a World champ at Wrestlemania? Despite his loss to Cena at the Rumble, Umaga has been unstoppable and been plowing through the roster, picking up Jeff Hardy's IC belt along the way. The build grows after Umaga puts the champ out for several weeks with a rib injury. Cena loses his Superman'like confidence and has to take Umaga as a serious threat to his title and his health. So Cena goes "old school", back to the street and issues the challenge to Umaga for a street fight at Wrestlemania.

Winner: John Cena

And I dislike Cena. But why a win? Because it's Wrestlemania and the samoan savage winning a main title on the biggest show of the year probably wouldn't hold up well.


Money in the Bank
Sabu vs Mr. Kennedy vs Chris Benoit vs Carlitto vs Chris Masters vs Ric Flair vs Tommy Dreamer vs King Booker

Flair proved he can hang in ladder matches last year against Edge and in the last Money in the Bank. Putting the ECW guys in adds an extra extreme feel to the match. I toyed with the idea of Kane being in the match, but heard that he needs knee surgery soon so I figured it'd be easier to just leave him off and let him have his surgery. You can pretty much expect the same product with a Money in the Bank ladder match. It's going to be a spot-fest. Since we need a heel to take on our face champions, I'm going to go with King Booker so that he can use the money in the bank contract to go after the World champion. Plus Booker has always deserved one big Wrestlemania win to compliment his legacy.

Winner: King Booker


WWE Women's Title match:
Melina VS Mickie James

Melina stole the belt from James the same way it happened on Raw. But instead of feuding with an irrelevant Playboy Bunny, James doesn't back down and vows to regain her Women's title. This way we get a decent women's match at a Wrestlemania, which hasn't happened since Molly Holly VS Victoria at WM20.

Winner: Melina... Do you need to ask why?


Undertaker VS Batista

I didn't change this because personally I feel the build for this has been near perfect. The Undertaker's win at Royal Rumble was well deserved. That is high praise from me because I'm not really a loyal fan of the Deadman. But the way his Rumble win played out was great, and he's been on a tear with his in-ring work as of late. I'm not actually a fan of either man to be frank, but again the match intrigues me. Honestly, there isn't much about the build for this match that I would change. Amazingly, I have no complaints and adding Batista to the list of the fallen is definitely welcomed.

Winner: The Undertaker


So there are a few people left off of the lineup... Kane, MVP, Finay... We can't get EVERYONE on the card, I'm aware of that. But I at least like to see a good majority on the card. I have it at ten matches. With 10 matches, I wouldn't feel the need for a pre-show battle royal or a pre-show match. 10 is enough. And I've certainly got the roster much more involved than the current WWE lineup. Ah well.

Any thoughts?

Wrestlemania Predictions

I wasn't going to bother with predictions for this year's Wrestlemania. We're all pretty much on the same page as to what we expect. But, rather than be the odd man out, here we go with it.

World Title:
Batista VS The Undertaker

It pretty much seems that the general consensus is Undertaker will defeat Batista to make his Wrestlemania streak 15-0. I'd be hard pressed to find any plausible reasons to go against that belief. Batista has been stale since his return last year, and I think they've pretty much just run out of things to develop for him. A heel turn could be in order to help freshen him up but that is neither here nor there.

Winner: Undertaker


WWE Title:
John Cena VS Shawn Michaels

It seems they've been building the two title matches in complete opposite ways. With Cena and HBK the tension is teased, but nothing comes of it whereas Taker & Batista have just been flat out disrespecting one another. I'm sorry to say, but I really don't care about this match. Cena beating Michaels will be a huge rub for the champ. HBK beating John is pretty much unnecessary. I honestly don't think HBK should be in this position where he gets the title match. I also dislike the two main events being face VS face. There's actually quite a lot I dislike about this. Cena plays Superman and beats the show stopper.

Winner: John Cena


Battle of the Billionaires
Lashley VS Umaga

Absolutely no one expects Donald Trump to actually shave his head if Lashley looses. They are correct in thinking so. I've enjoyed the build between Lashley and Umaga. I'd rather see both men defending their titles instead of acting as Trump & McMahon's pawns, but whatever. Steve Austin being the ref does nothing for me. If anyone actually expects Trump to have his head shaved, you don't know wrestling.

Winner: Lashley


Women's Title Lumberjill (ugh) Match
Melina VS Ashley

Melina. Why? Because the belt would be meaningless on Smackdown. Melina. Why? Because while she is a step up from Christy Hemme, is a Diva Search winner that doesn't know how to wrestle without being led by the hand by an actual trained opponent. Melina. why? Because it's freaking Melina and I have to support her. The fact that it is a lumberjill match just means we get to see the rest of the divas paraded out to get the guys all excited. I guess everyone has a place at Wrestlemania. Except tag teams. And cruiserweights. And anything associated with midcard. Sorry. Go Melina~!

Winner: My girl, Melina


The "Great" Khali VS Kane

I'm a fan of Kane, but his chances of finally having a respectable Wrestlemania match are once again tossed down the drain.

Winner: The "Great" Khali in 2007's Match Of The Year


Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Randy Orton VS Matt Hardy VS Ken Kennedy VS Finlay Vs Jeff Hardy VS Edge VS C.M Punk Vs King Booker

I have to commend them for really drawing a lot of interest to the money in the bank match. They have given it the perfect amount of build, which for WWE is pretty surprising. The standard expectation is that Jeff Hardy will do something crazy, which is pretty likely. Mr. Kennedy appears to be the favorite amongst net fans to win the match. Out of the bunch, I'd like to see Kennedy win it. But I'm trying not to predict what I *want* and more what I *expect*.

Winner: Randy Orton, because he's the only legit threat to any of the world champions. And he's heel. With having face champions regardless of the outcomes of the title matches, I'd say they need a heel to be ready to cash in. And I say that because Edge is hurt. If Edge was 100%, it may be a different story.


ECW Originals VS The New Breed

I wish this were four on four elimination, but I don't think that it is. I'd like to see the Originals win. They've pretty much been promoting it that the New Breed has been getting the best of the Originals... I believe in comeuppance, and I can't knowingly vote for a team with a teacher, a vampire, an Alpha Male and whatever the heck you want to Elijiah Burke on it. I dislike Matt Striker immensely.

Winners: The ECW Originals


U.S Title
Chris Benoit VS M.V.P

Yay! A secondary title match! What the Hell is that doing on Wrestlemania? Everyone seems to be calling for Benoit to jump to Raw soon, and are citing that as a reason for him to drop the belt to MVP. I don't see it happening on the biggest show of the year. MVP is getting over, but he's not there yet. I say Benoit retains, but will lose it to MVP in a rematch on Smackdown at some point in the near future. This is also my prediction for opening contest.

Winner: Chris Benoit


Ficticious 20 Man battle royal

I've heard about these things... I don't know if they actually exist or not because I haven't bought a Wrestlemania DVD since WM20. Having a Battle Royal and taping it as a DVD feature is way beyond me. I would much rather see a good battle royal than Kane VS Khali. And I'm a firm believer in trying to get as much of your roster onto the biggest show of the year. I don't know if they are going to actually be having this or not. If so, who's in it? I guess we'll have to wait to buy the DVD in May.

Winner: Ric Flair, because his being left off Wrestlemania is a crock.

Other thoughts:

- They have four frigging hours to fill, with only 8 announced matches. In theory, that leads to each match having approximately 25 minutes each (minus time for entrances). Never going to happen. One of my biggest piss-off's about WWE as of late is all of the replays and video packages. They've been cramming them down our throats more and more lately and I'm getting so sick and tired of seeing the same clip get replayed over and over and over. But what with the show being 4 hours, there's plenty of time to kill with those promo's and replays.

- I wish there were 10 matches. I feel it would justify adding that extra hour, just to make it differ from all of the other 3 hour PPV's they expect me to buy over the course of the year. When I look at the lineup, it just seems so incomplete. There is distinctly something lacking and adding additional matches would be a huge help. How about actually defending the tag team titles or the Cruiserweight title? There's a crazy idea for you.

- If I seem negative about Wrestlemania, it's because I pretty much am. The run down leaves me wanting more and I know I won't get it. Two face VS face main events bores me. The lack of midcard representation astonishes me. And the fact that everyone is pretty much coming up with the same predictions tells me that there is a serious lack of thought about the booking here. Hopefully they prove me wrong like they did with No Way Out, but somehow I don't see many of my predictions being off.
