Weekend Wrap-Up

I am finally recovering from last week's WrestleMania festivities. You would have thought that I had actually wrestled on the show. I'm finally getting back on track. It was actually a really good show. The best matches were The Money in the Bank match (won by Mr. Kennedy), John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels, and surprisingly The Undertaker vs. Batista. The best food? Pick 'em. The Vince/Trump haircut spectacle was done very effectively. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin did great and he performed just like the good old days. WWE owner Vince McMahon did get all of his hair cut off and is looking pretty goofy.


Speaking of haircuts, it has been reported that Halle Berry will be shaving her head for an upcoming movie role. The name of the movie is supposedly called Nappily Ever After, which sounds like a surefire flop. C'mon woman, it didn't work for Britney and it ain't gonna work for you. Ladies be smart about it; if you're going to cut your hair, at least get a surefire payday out of it like Vince. Aw, you just hate to see it.


The rumors are true; some of your favorite chickenheads and skanks will be returning to VH-1 next week with the series premiere of Flavor of Love: Charm School. The show will be hosted by Mo'nique, as 13 former Flavor of Love contestants will go to charm school then get placed in situations which may test their patience. Someone will get voted off each week. The most well mannered hoochie will be the winner. This is Appointment Television if there ever was. On top of that, it is also rumored that the cast of MTV's Real World: Las Vegas will be reuniting for a six-episode series this year. The Las Vegas cast was perhaps the wildest ever and ushered in the era of every cast member looking like a model and sleeping with everyone in the first episode. Things haven't been the same since. It will be great to see them together again. How in the world did Trishelle have time to fit this into her schedule?

Probably the funniest thing I saw this week was Alanis Morissette's parody of the Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps" video. I didn't even know she was still around. I hadn't heard about her since "Ironic". This is by far the funniest thing she's done since "You Can't Do That On TV".

We are less than a week away from what could be the highlight of the year: Total Nonstop Action's fanfest here in St. Louis. This is like a wrestling nerd's dream. Merchandise, a Q & A, and forty wrestling superstars in an autograph session at the Airport Hilton. If I'm lucky, I might even get to meet Ms. Brooks (above). I've been doing sit-ups to prepare for this. Maybe I should bake her a bundt cake or something. Regardless, it should be an interesting weekend with the fanfest and the live pay-per-view show the next day. I imagine you might see a post or two about it on this very page at some point.
