WWW Wrestling Wrap-up #2

Move of the Month
"Here's some double team action, Pearl and Dean. They've got Vanilla Ice in a hold. It's a powerbomb on ice. A big splash! Vanilla Ice has gone through the ice. No crap dancing on ice for the vanilla one! What a move! It's the ultimate icebreaker! Pearl and Dean win!"

Quote of the Month
"Jes, let me tell you about the facts, when you face Rafa Ramon in the ring, jes is gonna crave you up"

Goldenballs (w/Posh) -vs- [ad break]
Here's the new milan kid on the block in the team's red and black colours. Looks like he'll be there in for half the time just like in 1998 (as he returns to LA soon), it's Golden Becks. Posh reminds us to never forget the name of Goldenballs...

[ad break: Rolf Harris wants us to guess a match that he will be featured in at Shovelmania. Can you guess what it is?]

Goldenballs (w/Posh) -vs- Blake 'Hitman' Hart (w/Special One)
It's the former 20-time WWW World Heavyweight Champion. Just to make it confusing he's wearing the same colours. After all he calls himself 'Red and Black' attack. He's accompanied by the Special One, Jose. Why not? Be Champion!

They lock up and Blake gets his man down and puts Golden Becks into a clipboard. Blakey uses the inspector's discretion and puts Becks to sleep. This could be it already! No, a flailing elbow to the side, breaks the hold. Becks up and weaves around Blakey. A nutmeg and tackle from behind. Blakey goes down like a ton of bricks. Becks makes a cover but only for a 2 count. Becks gets Blakey in the corner and a free kick in the goldenballs. Becks with a throw-in and a two-footed tackle on Blakey's ankle. That's it! But the ref has missed it as he's chatting to posh about Women's weekly. Blakey in trouble now as Becks hits the penalty. But the special one is distracting the ref, claiming he is not a champion. Here comes the Great One Gretsky and now there's an argument to see who is 'the one'. In the meantime, Becks has missed a second penalty and bam, Blakey hits a bus stop from nowhere right between Beck's legs. Blakey delivers a penalty fare of his own, pushes aside Posh and her Versace. He hooks Becks in the routemaster. The ref has finally started watching the match just in time to see Becks tap out. Your winner by submission, Blake 'Hitman' Hart.

Random Musings - Day #53: (Bahrain #3)

Bahrain
Not a lot to report here. I am getting a cold/sore throat but it could be the sand-fog that was in Manama today.
Did go to Nando's and no they didn't accept my loyalty card. ;)
Some guides on Bahrain can be found at Bahrain Tourism and Trip Advisor

Oscars
Tonight is the Academy Awards and has the results already been leaked out. If it has, Slumdog Millionaire (which I saw last Tuesday, a two thumbs up IMHO btw) will win best picture. Also the best actor will be Mickey Rourke. Best actress will be Kate Winslett. Best supporting actor will be Heath Ledger. Best supporting actress will be Amy Adams.

The wrestler in wrestlemania?
Looks like that Mickey Rourke will not be wrestling at Wrestlemania 25. He's backed out of a match, alledgedly to focus on his acting career. However, there is a report that says he still interested in appearing/helping out at Wrestlemania as a favour.

UK Chart
No change on top as Lily Allen is now 5 weeks at #1. No change neither at #2 as Lady Gaga just stays there. Kings of Leon are at #3 with "Use somebody".
