WWE ROYAL RUMBLE 2015: IT TOOK 29 MEN TO MAKE ROMAN LOOK STRONG!

Well, you could see it from space can you, what happened last night!, actually you can see it from the billboard in Santa Clara last week, when they ruined wrestlemania for us!

1st thing's first, the preshow. This burial of Kidd and Cesaro has to stop right now! We were in the "Land of Extreme" Philadelphia, home of the most passionate fans in the world, outside Britain of course1 The Phillie crowd Slaughtered the new Day! and when Tyson got the win with Sharpshooter, crowd went ape-shit...For the 1st time tonight!

Officialy the show started with the Old Aged Outlaws vs The Legion Of DERP!(I Wonder wHHHo booked that!). This was just another squash match for the new team. can we have the Ascension from Nxt! beceuse this facsimile bullshit ain't helping them at all!

World Tag team championship the Boo-Sucks Retained over GOBSHITE FROM MTV! and Damien Gobshitedow, but in the process, Sandow had the crowd eating out of his hand, Very entertaining!

It's so great when you are fucking someone with power, that means you can get booked in non-title match at ppvs. Nikki clotheslined (seriously! that's the finish. It wasn't even a powerful clothesline, it was a standing one!) Nattie to continue being the paper champion.

Next was a hellraising, blistering paced 3 way onslaught for the wwe championship. Despite being put hit by chairs, briefcases, taking 4 F.U'S and 7 Curb stomps, Even BEING ELBOWED THROUGH A TABLE AND BREAKING 3 RIBS AND NEARLY STRETCHERED OUT OF PHILLIE, Brock absorbed all of this in a match where he was a marked-man. and he fought like one! He pinned Rollins after beating him like he owned him money! so he couldn't cash in post match! But Brock better not turn up anytime soon, he's still a target, especially what happened tonight!

WINNER: CENA OR LESNER TO BEGIN WITH, BUT ROLLIN'S TO CASH IN TO CAUSE A SCREWY FINISH!

THE INTERCONTINENTAL AND US CHAMPIONS ARE CONFRIRMED FOR THE REAL MAIN EVENT-THE 30 MAN ROYAL RUMBLE!

By now you've heard that rather than have them appear and get huge pops on Sunday is that Dolph Ziggler, Steroid Back, and  GROOT  Erick Rowan are reinstated and on smackdown ,*SPOILER* All 3 had to qualifiy for spots! Ziggler and rybitch qualified, Rowan Didn't!

Here is the list of those who announced their involvement in the match
  • Intercontinental Champion-Bad News Barrett

WINNER: Bryan, Roman or Ziggler! Infact they may be the final 3!

WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
THE BOOSUCKS(C) VS GOBSHITE FROM MTV! AND DAMIEN GOBSHITEDOW!
Before I have all you marks say something stupid like "But Eamonn, Miz did Sandow A favour and Him over with the crowd" no, cashing in the money the bank on Golden and out-wrestling him in the match of his career got him over with the crowd, then Cena got all ARSEHURT! and complained, using his stroke as champion to demote sandow and put in development hell with the only guy worse than him, the Gobshite from MTV PRETENDING TO BE A WRESTLER! Anyway the rifts are being to show and since they are booked into the royal rumble expect the team to last until Miz throws Sandow over the Ropes in the Man Event
WINNER: WHO CARES? SHIT ON MIZ, SHIT ON THE BOO-SUCKS! AND SHIT ON CREATIVE WHO THINKS TOTAL DIVAS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE TAG BELTS!

DIVAS TAG MATCH!

THE ASCENSION VS THE OLD AGED OUTLAWS!
(FACEPALM)
WINNERS: PRAY FOR CESARO'S CAREAR!

Anyway, results will be up on Monday morning after 11amGMT!
SEE YOU THEN!

IMPACT WRESTLING PRESENTS: TNA: TURNING POINT-NEW YEAR! NEW LOGO! NEW TV DEAL! SAME OLD SHIT!

This is the 1st tna of the year, Right?
WRONG! THIS WAS PRE-RECORDED IN FUCKING SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR!

Ok, lets get this over and done with!

Kenny King put a good showing against his now stable-mate in DA BEAT-DOWN CRU, YO!, Samoa Joe, King must be happy about this because he'll have his ass kicked by a different heel at every One Night Only event from now on!

They mixed up the tired Maddie vs Gail match we ALWAYS get at One Night Only, so Angelina Love was added to the mix-Despite getting a Better than Divas chant, I found it to be blasé.

In a real shocker, Sanada defeated Austin Aries, but with a little help from James Storm.

Now for the huge chunk of Discontinuity. As Mockstar Dud and Ethan MidCarder teamed up despite current storylines! The Guy who can't wrestle a lick, Pulled an Orton ie, Didn't want to job on television and threw his toys out of the pram, Allowing Gunner and Anderson the win. and for The TURD! to claim to be undefeated, except he isn't!

In the match we could and deserved to get if they Built up Eric vs Magnus, We got it...Except on a show that no one will remember in a year's time. Also we had an ad-break in between Young's 5 moves of Doom...Was that really necessary?, Challenge?

Finally Monster's Ball between FLAByss and Bram was dull! how do you make a hardcore match dull? oh yeah, I know by Booking 1 at every One Night Only!

Storm and Roode was Dull too! Storm won!

But the main event was good. Mainly because it wasn't a rehashed match from last year. MVP Made Bones Crack and Talked Smack as he faced Jeff Hardy. But Hardy won out in a back and forth match. Skip the rest just watch this match.

THE FLIPPIES 2014

It was the year that was in 2014. a year that both major companies failed to deliver to British Fans. Whilst 1 chairperson put his ego at the door and let the future stars put on a ppv that put TLCS To shame, Dixie left her Brain at hers and systematically annoyed everyone with her delusions of grandeur, getting so bad that male-on-female violence seemed-and became-the most feasible option!

THE DISCO STU AWARD FOR DEBUT OF THE YEAR!
ALEXANDER RUSEV AND LANA (I LOVE ME SOME BOLSHEVIK BE-DONKEY-DONK! AND SO DOES HE!)

Ok, I call him Poosev, Ok and Vince's geo-political atlas is off by 30 years. Ok, he's Bulgarian, and she's American with a Latvian Mother, Ok, her accent slips everytime she says "Shut up"-But dear god, something must be going right for them, as he's still undefeated!

MARGE VS VOILENT TELEVISION AWARD FOR FUNNIEST MOMENT
JINGLE ALL THE WAY TW...FUCK OFF!
YA DAFTY!
IF CAN ONLY BAE T'EXISTANCE O'GRADO, YER DANCER!
British boot camp was a TNA show exclusive to fans on this side of the pond, and while this was your average fly-on-the-wall show, it elevated thanks to 1 man-a Scottish comedy wrestler, by the name of Grado. Despite run-ins with Al Snow, which ultimately lead to his elimination, it only served to make him more popular, his entrances are the most viewed wrestling videos ever-anyone that can make Scottish people sing THIS song is a legend!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4oTY51ekcE

MAUD'S FUNERAL FOR THE SADDEST MOMENT OF THE YEAR
THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR'S ULTIMATE END
It could have being, and had the makings of a happy ending.
After years of conflict, accusations and backstabbing, The Ultimate Warrior finally was inducted into the Hall of Fame. The next Night, a tired and Heavily Breathing Jim Hellwig got in the ring and cut a poignant promo.
It's almost like he knew!
That Tuesday morning after watching it live, I woke to the shocking news, Jim Hellwig had died of Heat Exhaustion after leaving raw!

THE HER ASHES STOPPED THE MISSLE LAUNCH AWARD FOR (EXIT OF THE YEAR)
STREAK BROKEN. LEGACY: STILL INTACT!
No doubt the most shocking moment of the year, was the Breaking of the 21 year undefeated streak by the undertaker at the hands of Brock Lesner. to say that there was a backlash was an understatement. this opened the floodgates to the state WWE is in now, the fact that Brock is the defending WWE champion whenever he needs a new rotor for this helicopter!

THE MY PLANET NEEDS ME AWARD FOR THE EXIT THAT MADE US SAY "GOOD RIDDANCE!"
DIXIE GOES THROUGH A TABLE-MALE ON FEMALE VIOLENCE HAS NEVER BEING SO SATISFYING!
Dixie carter has always being the butt of jokes, ever since making tna founder choice between his company and women is (reportedly) loves. Ever since the whole debacle of 10.10.10 where Hogan and Bischoff showed their true colours despite warnings (cryptic or otherwise) from sting, this year Dixie y'all really dug her a fresh hole by rehiring Vince Russo without telling Spike TV reps-who unlike Dixie remembered the dip in quality when they had wcw on their network, took their ball and ran. But not before making bad decisions that showed their emptying of Impact's kitty-namely not renewing key wrestler contracts, downgrading Lethal Lockdown to just a cage match with no roof full of weapons. Pre-recording ppvs without the consequences of continuity, and pushing her rumoured lover, SHAG-NUS into the world title-which lead to SHOWTIME Part-time Eric Young getting the title, copying Daniel Bryan's win, with no build-up whatsoever. Eventually Dixie made the show completely unwatchable when she had the mic, as this 40 year old woman- with the cadence of an 8 year old got what she deserved, no matter how overboard it might have being!

THE 138TH (MATCH OF THE YEAR)
NEVILLE/ZAYN AT NXT TAKEOVER: I'VE SEEN THE FUTURE AND IT WORKS!
If last month's NXT 3rd ever PPV was the yellow brand's crowning Moment, then this match was the Jewel in said crown! for over half an hour, 2 international level superstars gave the world (and Britain 3 days later!) a last minute addition to my considerations for this award! Sami Zayn may won on his road to redemption, but Kevin Owens turned him into Roadkill, in a superb ending a top-notch show!

WORST! EPISODE! EVER!
SING A SAD SONG OF SANDOW!
While it felt like forever, only last year Damien Sandow was holder of the money in the bank case. Where he made the mistake that cost him all credibility: Challenging John Cena and Newly Winning! This caused Sandow to drop a pipe-bomb in subsequent week deriding creative for treating him like a 2good little soldier" and where did that get him?

Wearing Costumes for jokes only Yanks Got and losing to Adam Rose on a tri-weekly basis!

But it can't get worse, right?

If you an a GOBSHITE FROM MTV! Off course it's gonna get worse!

THE POOCHIE AWARD FOR IDIOT OF THE YEAR
ETHAN MIDCARDER THE TURD-FOR INSTANT HEEL HEAT, JUST ADD LAST NAME!
Last year when I made my considerations for Flippies, like most writers I started in October so it'll be on the shelf, as it were by January. So I paid no real never mind to the former Derrick Bateman struggling to beat a jobber for 10 minutes at last years bound for glory. In the next 12 months, however, it was painfully obvious why he was released before ever reaching the main roster-Carter is academic at best, I've said it before that his moveset is like a computer games default setting in Create-A-Wrestler, plus if you are building him up as a monster heel, don't have every heel on the roster hold the Babba's hand and let him win cleanly in less than 20 minutes!

THE MARGE FOR BEST FEMALE
SASHA BANKS
CALL HER A TERRIBLE HEEL TURN. CALL HER A RATCHET. CALL HER OUT ON BEING JUST THEIR BECAUSE SHE'S SNOOP'S COUSIN. BUT VERY SOON, YOU JUST MAY CALL HER NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPION!
When I first saw Sasha I thought "oh here we go!" and I wasn't the only 1! the slender, smiling, hi-5ing blonde and light-skinned and honey brunette had people questioning her ethnicity, let alone her talent. But if you can't make it as a face, a heel turn is the perfect tonic to make you grow a personality, and yes "The hypnotising Heel-Turn Makeup Mirror" has become a mini meme on ChiliWrestlers, But her showing at R:evolution was a revelation! 2015 could be her year "Bank" on it!

THE BELLA AWARD FOR WORST FEMALE GOES BACK TO THEIR NAMESAKES!
I WISHE YOU BOTH DIED IN THE WOMB1
THE BEELAS DIDN'T KNOW HOOTERS WAS REHIRING-BUT I DIDN'T TELL ANYONE!

THE HOMER FOR BEST WRESTLER
JOHN CENA
*ECHOES OF SPAT DRINKS ACROSS THE IWC*
Yes I, Eamonn Bermingham, the Biggest Cena Hater from the cobbled streets of  Enniscorthy, Ireland is making SuperCena the winner. Because I'd rather have a jackass as champion who's here every week than the Jackass who's only here for a paycheck!

STARTER FOR FIVE: BOOBIE PRIZES: 5 WORST GAME SHOWS

I hope you enjoyed my gameshow theme month, Infact I've enjoyed myself in the making of this years theme month. And considering how I ended my reviews of WWE and Impact-I bloody well needed that!

However, what happens when you actually do something next to impossible-make a bad gameshow.

NUMBER 5
TIPPING POINT
a daytime quiz combined with a coin pusher-Played by the kind of idiot who think they can win big on coin-pushers!

NUMBER 4
JADE GOODY ON EGGHEADS
Eggheads is a gameshow on BBC2'S graveyard shift. a team of 5 must knock out each of the Eggheads-British most winningnist and prolific quiz winners. Not Good, but not Terrible either...

Until Big Brother racist Jade Goody trying to save face headed a team with all Asian girls.

THE END GAME WAS A 5-1 WHITEWASH! (PUN INTENDED!)
Imagine the ride home!
-Me Jade Goody thoughts Asians woz smarter than Whiteys!
-Well, now you're just being Racist!

NUMBER 3
SKATOONY (COULDN'T FIND THE BRITISH VERSION-AND DISNEY HAS RIGHTS TO TOTAL DRAMA IN BRITIAN-SO MY VERSION HAS THEIR CHARECTORS COMPLETLY CHANGED!)
Ladies and gentleman of America-this is what Britain has instead of [adult swim]!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O26Z1lxrl8k
Just look at the terrible quality and stilted acting from the Child actors. Even the Actual child who "goes through" is stupid. But look at the cartoon characters animation-3 mouth sizes on 2 frames.

I Bet Scott Fellows is looking at this going "Wow this is Quality!"

NUMBER 2
DEAL OR NO DEAL
Or "Win Or Still Win!" as I call it!

NUMBER 1
RED OR BLACK
A testament that Simon cowell makes too much money, he wants anyone to have it-even without talent! A 100 people are shown events that have 2 outcomes and each must beat. the last 1 person win a chance to win a Million-Not a Million A CHANCE TO WIN.

The first guy to win was a convinced Women-Beater!
SMOOTH MOVE, HIGH-TROUSERS!

STARTER FOR TEN: HOME VERSIONS: 10 MORE OBSURE GAMESHOWS YOU NEVER HEARD OF!

As expected I'm getting some backlash from people on this side of the Atlantic about putting nothing but American shows in part 1...Even though I only grew up on ,remembered, and talked in length about the British (and Irish) versions!


GUYS!GUYS! DON'T GO ALL DOUCHEY MCNITPICK ON ME! I SAID I WAS WORKING ON A PART 2!


So I devised this, a list of games shows that didn't make the first list because of it's limited syndication. we are going on ride to Japan, to Britain, to my childhood and or 1st stop is India!


NUMBER 10
DARE TO DANCE!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Tw98guYyIo
Fresh and new (as of time of writing, 1/12/14-the Live Final was shown yesterday!) a new concept from India. 11 Professional dancers (9 Indian, 1 British, and 1 French) all of different styles, are flown to south Africa, to Perform daring dances in extreme and dangerous conditions, Described by Host, Bollywood star Askshay Kumar as "A dance version of Enter the Dragon", and aided by his regular director and choreographer, here's hoping this show gets picked up internationally. Sadly Star Life Ok, doesn't do English subtitles on its web channel, but you can agree that the clip above is very exciting.


NUMBER 9
THE LIE!
Speaking of pickups this Irish gameshow has already being picked up by STV, but should picked by the rest of ITV. A show that took multiple choice and put it on it's head....you are seeking the wrong answer! it's low on this list as the loss/win ratio is very high! not just because the questions are hard, but because the people on it are fucking thick!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6c571VEbxM

NUMBER 8
TAKESHI'S CASTLE (ENGLISH DUB)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bTHneNoAFI
So imagine the scene...Challenge has just made the transition from a sitcom channel to a gameshow channel. As well Repeats they will also show, a long forgotten Japanese gameshow from the late 80's and early 90's, but there is a problem. The editors have removed all the incidental clips and scenes that explained the show, and they have completely spliced the order of the show, showing eliminated contestants going through to the "next" round. so they did what they could and hired someone quick witted to untangle this woolly ball of confusion Craig "Dave Lister" Charles!


NUMBER 7
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9eZ6hm58ic
This show should be picked up by America it's so much fun.
What can only be described as Family Fortunes/feud in reserve contestants must find the answer that scored the least in the survey by 100 people. but the aim is to find the right answer that no-one said-the Pointless answer!-this adds £500 to the cashpot. Plus 1 thing I love is the wrong answer sound effect it's the same sound I make when I hear stupid people!

NUMBER 6
THE CUBE
Hosted by Philip Scolfield (Who's only claim to fame outside of Britain is being Punched in the face by Leonard Nimoy!), the cube is a high tech, high risk gameshow where contestants are put through different challenges. While the studio is high tech, the games, decidedly (or deliberately!) are not! Making a bankshot, walking blindfolded in a straight line, all of these and others are things you can't do right once without practice! Unlike Millionaire, with its automatic lifelines, players must EARN their 2 lifelines, Trail Run a free shot at a game without losing a life, and the self-explanatory Simplify which is a crap-shot! the 1st person to beat the game was British Olympian, Mo Farrah. Take a look!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiUjhI4VAQc

NUMBER 5
SUPERMARKET SWEEP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FESeyvQHjTQ

Back When Jeremy Kyle was only belittling chavs on Manchester Radio, When 9:30 came around, ITV had gameshows! and we had great Gameshows that made me pull sickies as much I as could, Word Chain, Win Lose or Draw, BlockBusters, but only 1 show got a revival despite the fact the host didn't die!
In a studio reconstructed to look like a supermarket (down to real food-Supermarket brand-of course!) 3 teams of 2 took turns in answering puzzlebook style food trivia games to clock up time on their clock for the second halves trolley dash. whoever got the most costly shopping (though bonuses helped the cause!) the winning team entered the SuperSweep EndGame, a treasure hunt for a grand.

NUMBER 4
FUN HOUSE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAA8WK_inOI
By now I've Made Every Brit and Irish Over the age of 16 go absolutely insane!
2 Teams of 2 compete in random gungy games (with no game ever repeated! it must have cost the STV prop guys 1000's) Then answer a question related to the game played, then have a go-kart replay race and if that doesn't appeal to a child the winning team gets to play and win prizes in the Fun House a fair attraction on steroids!

NUMBER3
THE CRYSTAL MAZE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXVpZZTVEow
Mystery.
Challenges.
Riddles.
Treasure.
TIME TRAVEL!
...In a Gameshow?

Presented by Richard O'Brien and later by fellow eccentric Ed Tudor-Pole, Our Host guided a team of six through timezones (Aztec, Medieval, Futuristic, Industrial/Ocean) compete in loosing crystals from puzzles that require either skill, physicality, lateral thinking or general knowledge to be successful. each Crystal grants 5 seconds in the Crystal dome, a sealed fan room where the team had to collected 100 gold tokens with a forfeit of 1 for every silver token they collected. an almost impossible task!

But What is better that going on a pretend adventure?
-GOING ON A REAL ONE, OF COURSE!

NUMBER 2
FORT BOYARD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-VOSZ9qXGc
"In the Atlantic Ocean...
Miles from Mainland Europe,
Nothing but Water in All Directions,
Stands a Napoleonic Fortress-Fort Boyard
Behind each door challenges that will test the team's courage
Before their final challenge solving a riddle to gain the password
to a prize like no other...
Gold Coins guards by Tigers!

With an Intro like that, how could I not Put it on my list?

With the English version hosted by Jenny Falconer and later Melinda Messenger, and antagonized by "Boyard" (Chris Ellison and Later Leslie Grantham), the first hour was gaining the keys to open the treasure room, loose the key challenge and you loose your spot to spell out the password. the second halve was riddles to discover the identity of the word, this was my favourite bit as 1) there is no better joy for a fat nerd teenager than seeing PE teachers squirm answering children's riddles and 2) the 1st 2 series had them asked by TOM FUCKING BAKER!

AND The Gameshow that has topped my list, INNNNNNNNNNN ONE!
BULLSEYE!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhiHmQfF_aE
Catapulted in television, Jim Bowen hosted the quiz/darts combo. 3 teams of 2-1 Quizzer and 1 darts player worked to together to gain money. the game Circa after series 2 went like this
  • Round 1-Catergory Round-the dart had to through darts at a subject chosen by the quizzer. Each Subject picked was locked out making the round increasingly harder.
  • Round 2-Official Match play Board- A "points for Pounds" round where the darts players played an official leg of darts-the winning team got an extra 50 points if the question given by Jim was answered correctly
  • After the Break was the Bronze Bully, A professional player threw a set of darts, each point was a pound and the total was given to the winning teams charity of choice.
  • This led to the Endgame-the Prize board, the iconic red and black dartboard with 9 prize in each red section and the bull, which was a top prize! With the prizes won the team had choice-taking the money and prizes or gamble them all for final game, 101 points or more on the matchplay board, but the non-darts player went first, adding risk and reward in an otherwise whimsical show.

Well that's it I hope you enjoyed the clips of these shows, wherever you're from or just feeling nostaligic...for the next time we meet, I'll be listing 5 of the worst gameshow moments ever!
