I still think that Money in the Bank is the best 2011 WWE PPV so far but Night of Champions has its amusing moments. It was slightly disappointing mostly because some matches had unsatisfying endings while others just didn’t have impact. If you still haven’t seen it and you can’t wait for the replay, here be spoilers.
Air Boom v. The Miz & R-Truth
As usual, Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne amazes. The Miz and R-Truth aren’t too shabby either. Unfortunately, the match ends in a DQ which is the most annoying way to end a match next to a count-out. Air Boom retains the Tag Team Championship. Miz and Truth beat up a ref.

San Diego Comic-Con 2011 has wrapped up and I can’t really say that it gave me a lot to get excited about. There wasn’t really an announcement or discussion that blew my mind. However, there are a few things that give me an undeniable geek boner. And of course, there’s this one little thing from Comic-Con that I absolutely love.
It’s NOT the announcement that Avengers Academy will be setting up shop on the west coast, but that’s cool too. Because you know who else is on the west coast? The Runaways. Yes, in my mind, the Runaways will inevitably be involved with — or they might even join — Hank Pym’s Avengers-in-training.

It’s the end of an era. An era that only lasted 7 months and 3 weeks. The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien is no more, thanks to NBC bringing back Jay Leno to his old time slot, forcing Conan to quit and leave. This makes me sad. And angry. But mostly sad.
I’ve been a fan of American late night TV ever since I saw the 1996 film The Late Shift. Based on a book by Bill Carter, the movie follows the EPIC struggle between Jay Leno and David Letterman to inherit the legendary Tonight Show from Johnny Carson. I was just fascinated with the politics and the drama and the beauty of shattered dreams. That extremely controversial moment in TV history was truly special. And you know what they say about history, right? It frickin’ repeats itself.

It’s a sucky start of the work week for me and I feel like a big bag of GROUCHY. I have this urge to give people RKO’s and kicks to the head, thanks to morning traffic, busted elevators, unresponsive people, and regular Internet douchebags and stoopids. Also, my current obsession with Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 for the PS2, a game scientifically optimized to set your mind ON FIRE. So in an attempt to ease my grumpy-lion-with-a-thorn-embedded-in-his-paw pain, I’m going to answer an Internet meme. YAY!
The Rules:
- Choose a singer/band/group.
- Answer the following questions using ONLY titles of songs by your chosen singer/band/group.

In this, the second part of Baddie Bookmarks, I share to you the websites that save me during idle time. Sites that entertain, inspire, and boggle my simple and frail mind. These sites keep me busy and smiling when the emo meter hits a critical juncture. These sites give me pleasure, and there’s nothing I like more than pleasure. Hedonists reprezent, yo!
The Onion. Before I discovered the joy of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report, I enjoyed the irreverent “news source” called The Onion. From dumb stories about America’s dumb leader, to quirky “human condition” tales of the local man, this is comedy gold for the thinking dickhead. Finest indeed.
