Edge prepares:

The happily married former World Champion is looking to add another World Title to his resume by defeating Kurt Angle this Sunday at The Bash. After the rekindling off screen in the wake of large tension between Edge and Stephanie McMahon and wedding, Edge hopes to have his wife/GM/manager at ringside at The Bash to watch him win his second World Title and first WWE Title…

Dennis Bourne prepares:

The tag champ Dennis Bourne will have his brother at ringside at The Bash for his match with SmackDown! Intercontinental Champion Hirohito. He had two reigns as champion under his Thunder persona, so Dennis seems very confident about his match…

Hirohito prepares:

He has had the most reigns of any champion thus far, but that record stands to be tied this Sunday at The Bash. If Hirohito can overcome his rival Dennis and his brother Lance Bourne, he will be able to retain the title and continue for another long reign…

Kurt Angle prepares:

Having returned after a 3-month hiatus from WWE, Angle has become a 6-time World Champion, with five WWE Title reigns including his current one and one World Heavyweight Title reign. He once again is main eventing pay-per-views, definitely rising up from his mediocre position he had previously in ECW prior to February. He has now amassed a 7-year relationship with the WWE, having held the WWE, Heavyweight, Intercontinental, European and Tag Titles since then. Will Edge defeat the champion?

Ataru nearly loses his mind over a show called Ju-Ju Monsters that has crap merchandise and horrendous storylines, even though Brandon likes it.

So today I looked at some stories about weird spots and statues and buildings in the US on a site called WeirdUS.com that is apparently an offshoot from WeirdNJ.com. I saw things like a rock with a skull face painted on it by a railroad worker in the 1900s in Arizona and the abandoned and allegedly very haunted forests in Connecticut that once made up a village known as Dudleytown whose residents all went mad centuries ago and the forest has no noises other than self-made rustling due to an absence of animals. Of course, I went to grandma’s and watched RAW where the show immediately cut to Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels fighting it out. In the main event, John Cena, Shad and JTG defeated JBL, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase, Jr. in a six-man-tag match. Chris Jericho defeated Paul London, Mickie James defeated Katie Lea Burchill, Paul Birchill lost to Kofi Kingston in a match for the Intercontinental Title, Beth Phoenix defeated Santino Marella and CM Punk defeated Kane by countout. He brought a bag to the ring, kinda like Jake the Snake’s but smaller. So that was my day and tonight’s RAW. Goodnight!

So today I did a typical visit to grandma’s, twice in the day, first to eat lunch and eat snacks and stuff and after supper at home I went back to watch SmackDown! So on this edition of SD!, Shelton Benjamin defeated Matt Hardy in a non-title match, Vladimir Kozlov defeated Stevie Richards, Mr. Kennedy defeated Domino, Jesse & Festus defeated Hawkins & Ryder, Edge vs. Big Show went to a no-contest. Those were all the notable matches I can remember well, excluding the incredibly recycled Diva tag team match and HHH vs. Chavo Guerrero non-title. The main event went to a no-contest when Vickie Guerrero rekindled with Edge after being battered by the massive Big Show, setting the stage for an inevitable Undertaker return. One thing I have to say is: Why are big tobacco companies big when nationally syndicated ads are run round-the-clock against them? It just doesn’t make sense anymore! How can so many people, namely a large section of my family, still smoke cigarettes that way? Well, in regards to SD!, I did like a few matches and I think WWE has picked up slightly in a few crucial areas, but I still saw SmackDown! occasionally turn into ShitDown! with somewhat boring matchups like the seemingly weekly Diva tag team matches. Also, a few days ago I saw an amazing DVD of an ECW show from 1997, Wrestlepalooza. It was released by Pioneer Video before WWE gained the right to release DVDs of ECW, so all the swearing and Hardcore action was retained. It has matches like The Dudleys vs. John Kronus, Taz vs. Sabu and Taz vs. Shane Douglas. As a big brother, sometimes I feel a bit like a butler, not to say that my parents are lazy-asses who rely on me every day and for everything: I always help out, I seem to come out and simply talk a tiny bit to the others, and I always act like a parental figure to assist my busy parents. As much as Charlotte annoys me at times, I could not describe much about how much I love her with all my heart. That is one good reason I act frequently as an assistant. So those were my thoughts on me being a brother, tonight’s SmackDown! and the ECW DVD. Goodnight!

I sure as hell am not a fan of this pop star, but I found out that not only was July 4th the day our independence was born 232 years ago, but it was also 20 years ago on that day that Kylie Minogue released her first album of ten now. She is one of Europe’s most enduring stars, as well as having a fairly large amount of popularity here in the States. So I just thought that I’d do friggin’ something other than WRESTLING!

Yesterday night, I watched WWE RAW at grandma’s, since I don’t have cable or satellite right now, and in the main event, Batista won a fatal-four-way to become the #1 Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship at the Great American Bash one week from Sunday. Also, Kelly Kelly, ECW’s former stripper character that got way too much exposure before she started actually wrestling, was revealed as a member of RAW, where she tagged with Women’s Champ Mickie James against Kelly’s former dance partner and also-RAW-debuting Layla and Jillian Hall, who sang another terrible “song”. John Cena and Cryme Tyme wrote things like “JBL IS POOPY” on his limo, bashing in windows as well. “JBL IS POOPY”? What are they, FOUR?! Chris Jericho acted like a killjoy by totally laying into Shawn Michaels. He also had Lance Cade in the ring, since he apparently is his lackey. Kofi Kingston defeated Charlie Haas in a non-Intercontinental Title match, which makes me surprised that Haas is still even in WWE after HEAT got canceled. In fact, he won the last HEAT match ever! Finally, Batista won the #1 contendership by defeating Kane, John Cena and JBL. After the match, Kane tore through the commentators and officials. Somewhere into the show, the Heavyweight Champ himself, CM Punk defeated Snitsky, a worthless WWE hack, to retain the title.

In what is probably my first non-wrestling or Helmsly post in weeks, I’d like to for once just talk about what I did today. Well, the thing is I really just went to grandma’s, played with figures, played games, just about everything to expect from me. I’d also like to take this time to say that of all the things I cherish on this Earth, the thing I cherish most is my family and friends. If I didn’t have my little sister Charlotte, my dad Simon, my mom Amy or anybody, I’d never have been able to start this blog, live in this house, have a computer and know how to use it, and just about everything else in my life. I’d just be a shell of a human being without much reason to be here on this Earth. I have no reason to hate, hurt or not live with any member of my family. And when I die someday in the bowels of another decade in the future, the one thing I hope to take with me is the love and respect of my family. Yes, I love my personal possessions because they contribute to my interaction with my family and have great personal value, but to take with me to the next life as an old man, all it’ll be is the love of mom, dad, grandma, Char, everyone. No, I’m not joining My Chemical Romance nor killing myself with that same token! I’m just saying what I feel because that’s how I feel. Goodnight.
