Old School Raw

I only caught about half of the show last night, but I enjoyed WWE's presentation of "Old School Raw", which saw the return of WWE Legends and TV setup and graphics from the 80's and 90's. The highlight for me was Jim Ross returning to call the Daniel Bryan vs. Jack Swagger match (although it was almost ruined with their insistance on inserting this Michael Cole heel nonsense). The show just seems to improve about 1,000 percent with the addition of Ross. Hopefully the thickheaded management will see this and bring the man back to his rightful place on the show.

Dancing with the Stars

This Bristol Palin thing is really bringing a damper on the season. Even two performances from the Roots and John Legend couldn't save last night's show. They're going to have to bring in Janet Jackson, Prince and Ric Flair next year to make up for this debacle. In the meantime, here's a show that never disappoints, the Spin Cycle!:

The Next Superman

According to a report at moviefone.com, The Rock and current WWE Superstar John Cena are under consideration to play the lead role in the upcoming Superman movie. The Rock would do okay, but I don't know if America is ready for that. Cena would bring the franchise to a screeching halt. Maybe if they are planning to release the movie straight to VHS, but otherwise I can't see it.

The Softest Tour Ever

New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys are going on tour together. In 2010. This tour is so soft that it should be sponsored by Charmin. Madonna won't come to my town but I KNOW this abomination will.

She's Doing What?

According to several online reports, Kim Kardashian is in the studio preparing to make an album. This reminds me of how every three or four years somebody gets the idea "hey, wouldn't it be funny if we let the wrestlers make a record?" She should probably stick with what she does best... standing there. This thing better have a hell of a CD booklet.

Election Day

It's Election Day across the country. Be sure to vote or you might let Mariah down. According to the shirt, she's taking this pretty seriously. And here's your theme song for the day, courtesy of Duran Duran:

News and Notes

The highlight of the weekend was The Rally to Restore Sanity/Fear on Comedy Central. The show opened with a forty minute set from The Roots, who were joined halfway by John Legend. If the place had a roof, they would have blown it off. The below footage isn't from the rally, but this is one of the epics they performed:




And don't forget to check your local listings for this week's Family Feud, featuring The Beautiful People (and an assortment of other wrestlers). It's my understanding that electronic stores nationwide can barely keep TVs in stock because of this. Here's a preview:
