13 workouts to close out 2007, which I consider an accomplishment. I mentioned, I think a month ago (or two blog entries ago... oops), that I'm now going for three GOOD workouts a week, as opposed to four whenever I can fit them in. So far, so good. I feel a lot better for the most part, and these 45 - 60 minute sessions definitely leave me feeling like I've accomplished something.Actually, I've

Hopefully it won't me another f'ng month to update this blog again:World Wrestling Insanity columns:The Ultimate Video Game MovieIron Shiek Claims CNN Misquoted HimCanadian Bulldog's Real-time Raw Coverage (not bad if I say so myself for a first "real-time" Raw attempt)

Granted, this was the worst-kept secret ever (EVER!!!), and the build couldn't have been any more predictable, but it was still worth seeing. Jericho seemed legitimately happy to be back, and even if the novelty doesn't last much past Mania, it's great to have him back.My only complaint? Why on earth did they show him clotheslining the torch guy beforehand? I mean, no one was surprised that he

I've been meaning to complain about this for some time now, but just keep forgetting about it. There's this show I watch here in Canada (usually every morning at the gym, but it's on virtually 24 hours a day) called "Whatever Happened To..." that is not unlike the VH1-style "Remember The 80's"-type shows. The premise is simple (and interesting): the show looks at three celebrities of yesteryear,

So where do we start?September FitnessBlog: I worked out a total of 18 times last month, which seems to be pretty much the average these days.

Not to sound TOO self-serving, but I just wanted to wish World Wrestling Insanity a happy second birthday/anniversary/whatever. As someone who's been almost since the start, I have to tip my hat to James Guttman at constantly working on the site and keeping it fresh.

I'm not generally a huge Family Guy fan... I mean, I'll watch it if it's on, but won't go out of my way to see it or anything, as I might with The Simpsons. But this episode was hands down my favorite.Not only was it amazing from a visual standpoint, but they were quite faithful to "A New Hope" at the same time, sneaking in some SWEET references to Airplane, Asteroid, Doctor Who, Vacation, etc.

Yeah, so I totally called Hornswaggle as the McBastard. (This was after I proclaimed it to be Mick Foley, mind you...) Though, in truth, it was The Big Rybowski's arguments that won me over. I posted my thoughts on the WWI forums early on Monday, and was proud to say it played out pretty much as I'd figured it would.Look, JG was even kind enough to mention this fact in today's Raw Insanity:

I've thought quite a bit about this since reading the Raw spoilers on Sunday, and you have to think that whoever this is, this is going to be a big deal. Vince & Co. will have to be able to trust this person to keep their nose clean, so to speak, and they'll have to have something of a track record in carrying the ball.While Triple H makes a lot of sense on those counts, I don't think it will be

That was the headline I noticed in the "Canadian Bulldog's Pound" section of the World Wrestling Insanity forums Sunday night. This was a post from someone who had heard my audios criticizing certain websites of their reporting in the Benoit and drug-related coverage.My position has been simple: this is not about even debating the facts in this case. I'm not qualified to report on what Benoit may

Another wrestler dies before his time, and one can only imagine what the implications for the business are going to be....For my money, Crush was one of the best agile men in the early 90's, along with Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow (how sad is it that two of them have passed on?). But unlike those other two, Crush was much faster and carried himself well in the ring.I'd heard about "Brian Adams"

Another reason to subscribe to Club WWI: Over the weekend, myself, James Guttman and my fellow Canadian ZAH participated in an hour-long audio roundtable that's now up on the site. It was a little more serious than I'm used to, but hey, any time you can fit both Umaga and Corner Gas into the same conversatiob, it HAS to be worth checking out, right?

Note the funky new graphic...So I worked out 16 times this month - just slightly below my self-imposed four a week. And actually, I was a little ahead of the curve until the very last week of July, when my son was staying with me. But hey, I would much rather spend time with him than keep up my quotas any day...

(Early) July 2007. The world of wrestling was in a tumultous state, as just weeks earlier Mr. McMahon had perished on television. It was a time that was both tragic and rife for parody-style articles for someone such as myself.That said... obviously this article never saw the light of the day because the Benoit tragedies were made public one day before this was scheduled to run.

Oh, man, this one really hit the spot. I've been having a weekend from hell, where I've been called into work BOTH Saturday and Sunday (and with the Canada Day long weekend here, I wouldn't be shocked if I also had to work Monday as well). So myself and some friends head up north to Sharon, Ontario (quite a bit north of Toronto) for an old-fashioned drive-in. Yes, this is the same place I saw "

It's taken me two days to actually write this, and I'm still not sure I'm going to have a lot to say besides the glaringly obvious.Chris Benoit, the wrestler, was fantastic, and I still maintain that there will be few better. Will I watch his matches ever again? Definitely. Will I think less of him each time I watch said matches? I have no idea.As much as it saddens me that Chris Benoit is no

I REALLY liked how everything tied into the common "Night of Champions" theme, and bringing in everyone from Rick Martel to Magnum T.A. was a nice touch. Strangely enough, WWE just put out its "Champions" magazine special and didn't see fit to plug it even once. Still, A for effort -- they're going to have do something every month to distinguish the tri-branded PPV's if they want support for

That's right -- thanks to some political lobbying, pleading and a few um, sexual favors, I now have my very own forum at the World Wrestling Insanity message board.

After the events of last night, I had no choice but to publish this very special editorial. My "Breaking News" column scheduled for this week may or may not follow. I'm not sure. What's important is that SOMEONE in the so-called "wrestling media" tackled this important issue:Vince Didn't Screw Vince; YOU Screwed Vince

Sorry to double up on the "EVER"s, but it was appropriate here.Honestly, this had to be the best Raw in recent memory, if not of all time (the ECW-WCW double-turn one comes pretty damn close, though, in my eyes, as does the first Austin vs. McMahon match). You had a number of really good matches (Edge-Cena and Carlito-Punk stealing the show, though), you had a decent battle royale that wasn't

WWE has done some incredible things with its insanely huge wrestling video library. This unfortunately, isn't one of them.Don't get me wrong -- I wasn't expecting this to be of the same quality of some of their biographies (think the ones on Benoit, McMahon, Piper, Road Warriors, Piper, etc.), but I was expecting more than recycled clips from other DVD's, which is what 60 to 70 % of this seemed

However, I did win a prize in the post-show trivia contest: A WWE "One Night Stand" kit, which consisted of a leather pouch with the WWE logo on it (guaranteeing that I will never ACTUALLY use it during a real one-night stand), toothpaste, a comb, mouthwash, etc. I remember the days when you just won DVD's..

So I've decide to take a "Learn To Run" course, starting tonight. It's literally down the road from my apartment, and it seems painless enough. According to the program's description:Our goal is to have you able to run for 20 minutes by the end of this clinic with a gradual progression of run and walk breaks. Now.... I don't know if I'll ever be able to get to 20 minutes, especially after only 10

The Re-Letterring So. You think the Canadian Bulldog retired his beloved "Letters from a Nut" gimmick last year. Well, you're right. But just cuz Bulldog stopped scribing letters under his 100% Genuine Legal Name doesn't stop him from creating an entire multi-layered scam in which he was named "Brad Slater" and was in charge of a new wrestling company called RDH. Once you've got a fake name and a

Wow - how long has it been when there's been more than one thing on Raw I've wanted to comment on?-- I realize this is a Canada-only issue, but why on earth does Raw start at 9:15 p.m. these days? In other words, what's with the 15 minute infomercial/recap we're subjected to on The Score? Honestly - is it helpful to anyone to know what, say, Carlito did last week on Raw? It's not as though they

It's been AT LEAST 20 years since I'd been to a drive-in movie (the last time I was, for trivia purposes, was Stephen King's "Firestarter" with a late showing of the Mr. T classic "D.C. Cab". But a combination of really wanting to see this film (Spidey, that is; not "Are We Done Yet?") on opening weekend, really nice pre-summer weather and the need to do something a little different prompted me

At the Movies... Why does Ol' Stone Cold look all pissed off? It could be that his movie was savaged by critics (although for some of the most pitiably self-righteous reasons), and raked in an abysmal $4 million last weekend. In terms of Box Office Receipts, that means that Steve Austin has just jobbed to both John Cena and Kane. D'oh. But luckily, we're gearing up for Summer Blockbuster season,

"Angela, I would really just like to buy you a fresh new pair of underwear."SO many uncomfortable moments, especially with Dwight on perv patrol the entire show. Some more awesome Creed moments, especially his need to use the women's washroom, and how all the guys hung out there was.... odd as well.I may have missed it because I was distracted, but how did the flasher's picture end up being

So it's been a little while since I've had a chance to write on non-column stuff, so while I have the time and inspiration to do so...Movies: I caught "Reign Over Me" and "Kickin' It Old Skool" over the past week. The first movie was an interesting concept, but it "reigned" on waaaaaay too long for my liking. I can only take "serious" Adam Sandler in small doses, I guess. "Kickin" was what it was

Give Me a Break! If you're like me, you learned much of your early vocabulary from listening to Gorilla Monsoon. If you're like me, this also means that you routinely use the phrase "External Occipital Protuberance" and have absolutely no idea how to accurately use the word "literally" in a sentence. And if you're NOT like me? Well, then I say fie on you! But the Canadian Bulldog is an entirely

Now... Michaels-Cena was the match that should have headlined WrestleMania. I know, I know - it WAS the match that headlined Mania, only this one was much more intense and interesting. Plus the decision made a hell of a lot of sense as well. Best free television match I've seen in some time. Obviously, a lot of that was Michaels doing his thing, but you have to give credit to Cena as well for

So some of you in the Toronto area may have heard of the subway accident last night that resulted in a fatality. It also resulted in closing down chunk of my route to work today (less important, I suppose, in the grand scheme of things). I was unaware of any problem this morning until I arrived at York Mills station (at which point the PA system instructed us to leave the subway and continue

Why three-quarters of a film review? Why the hell not?Actually, the truth is, I started watching the film last night, and literally as it got to the climactic scene, the DVD stopped working on me. It was one of the many bootleg $1.50 apiece DVD's I've picked up lately, so I wasn't fuming, but a little disappointed.For the first three-quarters of the film, at least, it's a really interesting

Why, Punk, Why? Last week, CM Punk upset fans everywhere when he joined ECW's "New Breed." Why would he do such a thing? Perhaps because Coke is for fogeys, and all the Cool Kids want to be a part of the Pepsi Generation? Eh, probably not. But with our Intrepid Investigative Reporter, the Canadian Bulldog, on the scent of this scoop, you know he'll leave no stone unturned. No matter how
