WWE has been doing some crazy things as of late. Team Miz dominating at SS, Kofi Kingston pinning CM Punk and then Randy Orton, and now, Sheamus will meet John Cena for the WWE Title at TLC in a Tables match. Wait, did I really just type that? Sheamus, the Irish man who came to Raw a MONTH ago is about to face one of the top people in the company for the WWE Title at the last event of the year? Wow, they must have a lot of faith in Sheamus. I just blogged earlier today that Sheamus, Miz, and Drew should feud with DX and Cena, but I NEVER thought it would come true. Well, blessed be those who wait, Michael Scott. I would like to see a Sheamus victory, but I don't think that's going to happen. It should be the first match of the night.
The REAL main event of TLC will be the epic encounter between Jerishow and DX for the tag titles in a TLC match. Jericho and HBK will steal the show, since they are the masters of the ladder match. I think we'll finally see DX win tag team gold and it will probably be the show stealer of the night. I really want to see this match, but I'm more looking forward to Sheamus getting his first title match. Whether he gives Cena a hard fought match or gets completely squashed remains to be seen.

WWE can still do it
WWE proved to me that they put their best shows on their big four PPVs. If they could just do that on a regular basis, WWE could survive as a PG show.
Team Miz VS Team Morrison was an amazing way to start the show off. I thought Team Morrison was going to win, since, Miz won at Bragging Rights, but that was not the case. WOW, what a showing by the whole team. I'm surprised that three members survived from the team, and especially surprised that Sheamus and Drew were two of the three survivors. If anybody was going to survive, it would've been Swagger and Miz, but I was very impressed by Team Miz. I hope we see Miz, Sheamus, and Drew together on Raw tonight. WWE definitely needs to think of putting him on Raw and have them feud with Cena and DX. It would be good to see some young talent feud with some of the more established guys. Overall, a great match. It was one of my favorite matches of the night and one of the best booked matches of the year IMHO.
Batista VS Rey was exactly what I expected it to be, not much. It was just put on the show to fully establish Batista's heel turn, even though the fans were cheering HEAVILY for Batista. Ok match, but could've been better.
Team Kofi VS Team Orton. (Sigh) Another shocking moment. I KNEW that it was going to come down to Orton/Kofi at the end, but I was really surprised when Kofi hit TIP OUT OF NOWHERE and pinned Orton. Did he just pin CM Punk and Orton in one freaking night? If Kofi isn't WWE champion by next year, then this would've been for nothing. Good SS match, but Miz/Morrison was the better of the two.
The World Title match was exciting and predictable. I wanted Jericho to win, but of course, Taker won. I want to see Taker/Jericho at TLC now. Overall, good TT match. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as that was. I was surprised though that Big Show didn't use his power to get out of Hell's Gate. He's definitely strong enough so he could've gave him a powerbomb or something.
Team Mickie VS Team McCool...moving on.
The Triple Threat match for the WWE Title kept me on the edge of my seat. The beginning of the match got me excited. The SCM out of nowhere and gave me hope of a HBK victory. Of course, it didn't happen. Cena once again beat DX, this time, both in one night. I liked how this match was like three matches in one, and then was a Triple Threat collision at the end. Very good stuff by all three men. It seems like the theme of the PPV was the underdog overcoming the odds after the first two matches. Kofi PINNING two former World champions and Undertaker and Cena overcoming the odds and beating two top tag teams in the WWE. I hope Orton can put Kofi in his place tonight because he's looking incredibly WEAK, especially seeing how he was WWE Champion last month.
Team Miz VS Team Morrison was an amazing way to start the show off. I thought Team Morrison was going to win, since, Miz won at Bragging Rights, but that was not the case. WOW, what a showing by the whole team. I'm surprised that three members survived from the team, and especially surprised that Sheamus and Drew were two of the three survivors.

Gaming gaming gaming
Thanks to work, I've come into A LOT of games lately (Borderlands, Operation Darkness, Spectral Force 3, Enchanted Arms, and Silent Hill: Homecoming, and MagnaCarta 2) and I've been interested in nothing else but playing them.
The first game I really got into was Silent Hill: Homecoming. SH:H was the 2nd SH game I played and it was really good. The atmosphere creeped me the hell out and I thought the story was average. The fact that Alex was crazy the whole reminded me of Dead Space, but I still liked it. Also, the fact that Alex was way too strong doesn't make the game bad, it just makes it different. I think Double Helix games did a wonderful job, and this is the 2nd 360 game I got 1000 Gamerscore in. Lol, Hard Mode is too easy with the Laser Pistol. That weapon makes every enemy too easy, even Scarlet, who I thought was the hardest boss in the game. Silent Hill: Homecoming is an amazing game and I'm now a Silent Hill fan. I can't wait until Silent Hill: Shattered Memories comes out.
I also bought Nostalgia after returning SH: H to Gamestop. I don't know why people say it's a bad game. Just because it pays homage to old school RPGs, doesn't make it bad. I love the game. In this day and age, I need a little old school RPG to deal with these corny new ones. I have 5 hours in the game and it's just great to play.
Well, we now have a release date for Final Fantasy XIII, March 9th, 2010. We're only 3 and a half months away from the biggest RPG release of this generation. I don't think I'm going to look at much content on the game because it's going to make me want the game a lot more than I do right now. I really hope that we get a midnight release for the game. If Modern Warfare 2 can get it, I don't see why FF 13 can't get one, seeing how not only is the series much better than the COD series, but much more respectable. How much controversy has Final Fantasy produced in the last 20 years? None? How much has COD drawn? Too much. The beginning of 2010 for games is going to be great. No More Heroes 2, Mass Effect 2, Tatsunoko VS Capcom, Fragile, hopefully Resonance of Fate, and now FF XIII. Good stuff.
I haven't talked about wrestling too much because it's pissing me off. RAW needs to stop this guest host stuff and get a permanent GM now. They also need blood again, but that's not going to happen. Another thing I hate is how the WWE Title has changed hands 3 times in Sept to Oct. It's stupid. Why couldn't Randy Orton have kept the title to the Iron Man match and then lost it? At least it would've been a 4 month reign. Now that Cena holds the title, he's going to hold it until Wrestlemania 26, easily.
Survivor Series is looking pretty good. I'm liking the classic elimination matches this. Both of the male elimination matches are their best in years,(specifically the heel teams) probably since 2006. Team Miz VS Team Morrison should start the show of. Team Miz is probably the best of all the teams, in terms of the future on WWE. You got Miz, Sheamus, Drew, Swagger, and my boy, Dolph Ziggler. I can see two tag teams coming out of this match if they do win, them being, Swagger/Sheamus and Ziggler/Drew. Man, that team just oozes future WWE champions. Hopefully, Ziggler can dethrone Morrison on Friday, so Miz's team can have both the mid card titles.
Orton's team is nice, but I think Legacy and The Hart Dynasty should have came together and made The Hart Legacy. It could've been The Hart Legacy VS Kofi, World's Strongest Tag Team and Cryme Tyme. Then, they could've did another Survivor Series elimination match with team captains Batista and Mysterio. It could've been Batista, Regal, CM Punk, Burchill, and Ryder VS Mysterio, Christian, R-Truth, Hurricane, and Yoshi Tatsu. At least they could've gotten more superstars on the PPV.
Both triple threat matches look cool, but I don't think either champion is losing because that would break up two of the top tag teams in the business. Cena and Taker will probably win and then Taker will probably face CM Punk in a TLC rubber match and I haven't a clue for Cena. Cena has one TLC match and it was pretty good, but the only person I think he would have a good TLC match with is HBK, but I think DX and Jeri-Show will end their feud at TLC, so I don't know. I can't see Swagger or Sheamus getting a title shot yet, so who knows?
