On January 4th 2010 - It will begin. Well it wont really but yes on January 4th it will finally happen.TNA are going to do it. They are going to take on The WWE for the first time. For me this is good news. This is now proof that all the talk for 8 years is going to mean something now. Because for 8 years that is all TNA have been doing...talking...taunting the WWE to fight and now TNA is going to do it. Now we all know they are not going to acheive the same ratings let us be honest but 2.0 Rating will be decent enough for TNA fans to be whispering...talking...very soon challenging TNA to do it again.
TNA have Hulk Hogan. Hogan is massive in Wrestling. He was the guy that started it all. So with Hogan on TNA and TNA have one night against The WWE. Could this be the start of The Next Monday Night War ? That is going to happen most likely if January 4th goes down well. Maybe it will all start again. It could be the wake up call Vince needs to turn his company around. It could be the end of The WWE which i know a lot of people are wanting to see.
With Shane and Linda gone can the WWE get better or worse. Well on January 4th whether Vince will face up to it or not....a change in wrestling history may be beginning. TNA may get the push it needs and maybe just maybe Wrestling will undergo a new era once again.

Another Soap Bites The Dust
CBS has done it again. Last sometime in September Guiding Light had to close it doors because of the one thing that looms over the death of TV and that is ratings and because of low ratings Guiding Light was cancelled and is now in the vault of lost soaps. Now CBS has done it again and this time...its As The World Turns.
This was a soap that i did not and cannot possibly care for. Despite that 2 of the Cast Members have been there since the dawn of time i still cannot care for US Soaps. They are dead. They have been dead for a number of years and only a miricle can revive these soaps. Many things are killing the soaps. Talk Shows,Cable and Internet. It is sad that this genre here in America cannot be revived and the only alive soap is Desperate Housewives which isn`t as enjoyable back when it started.
So what now. What is the dim and dark future of US Daytime Soaps. Well it doesn`t look like there is going to be a big one. Like i said Judgement Day is picking these soaps out one by one and eventully...that`s it. None will be left and soon TV itself will disappear...slowly...and slowly...and slowly.

Miley Cyrus - Bright Young Star Or Disney Prop - You Decide
I have decided to talk about a figure that has had an up and down year this year and that is Miley Cyrus. For 2009 as a whole in music it has been great if i am honest. I am kind of in a way a fan of all music. I will like anything from pop to heavy metal. But one singer has stood out above them all and that is Miley Cyrus.
Now Miley has had some good points to her year and some bad points. They are mostly bad but i will start with the good points.
Miley is the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus who is no doubt a talented country musician and one of the finest in America. Miley has doubled her father`s fame with her excellent voice and young charisma. Her recent song known as "The Climb" was enjoyable to listen to and tell somewhat of a story. She does have the passion to go futher than she is going.
That is where the bad comes in. Miley Cyrus is a prop of Disney. Now Disney were not and are not what they were once were. Back in the late 80s to 90s Disney were the family loving corperation and they would show that in there films like Aladdin , The Lion King and The Little Mermaid. Now its 2009 and that is all gone. They have appealed to the teenage girl audience who like to these days screem and shout at good looking hunks like most of The Twlight cast who prooceed to strip on camera and so on. Miley Cyrus is in that category and she has let it known that she does not want to go down that road anymore. Its a shame that i have to put her in the same group as the terrible and annoying band known as "The Jonas Brothers". Miley Cyrus stars in Hannah Montana, The TV Series i just want to stamp my foot into. Its quirky,bad and downright headachey. Hell even Billy Ray Cyrus has signed his soul to the show.
The one thing i want Miley to do so she doesn`t end up like Lohan,Spears and soon to be Lynn Spears is to be rebellous and lure herself to drink. Miley wants creative freedom over her work and a new image for herself. She wants to leave Disney (If i was under Disney i would have gone years ago) and move on to real music. Now if reading my past posts (Which you might not) you are somewhat confused. Well this blog is for stuff on my mind...and Miley is in the centre of my mind.

TV Themes And How Long They Have
Whenever i watch a show i always look to the TV theme as sort of a sign as wether the following Drama or comedy will either be good or bad.Now however as Television continues to evolve into new and better things,it seems that Tv Theme Songs are starting to die out and just become 10 second flashes with the title fading in and out.
So why is it? i think its because of the economy.Thanks to Bush and The Repulicans TV has to now do this 10 second clip and then we head into the episode of a comedy or drama.However there are a few themes that stand out in history.
There`s the ER theme which just fits the programme with its medical theme.James Newton Howard conducts a peice of music which is just magnificant.Another great opening is Angel the hit WB Series starring David Boreanez.It just instantly captures the tone and emotion of what that show is going to be.
One more theme which i must mention which is HBO`s True Blood.True Blood is HBO`s new big hit since The Sopranos which many people regard it as The Greatest TV Series Ever Made.True Blood`s theme is both dark and catchy.
So to ask the question are TV Themes dying?...well yes.If you want catchy tv themes and memorable music again...go back to shows like Angel and ER and let your ears be filled.

The End Of GL = The Death Of Soap Opera
Just this past Friday,a major event in TV happened that not many people may have seen.The Longest Scripted Television Program In The World came to an end on Friday September 18th 2009.That show was Guiding Light.
I wasn`t a big fan of Guiding Light but i did started watching it when Phillip Spaulding made his return in 2009.I then started getting wind on what was going on and i got interest in it (After i was done with General Hospital...don`t ask me why) but anyway i was comfortable watching Guiding Light until April Fools Day 2009 echoed a dark messege throughout the entire TV World.
CBS announced that Guiding Light would end in September 2009.I wasn`t crushed but quite saddened that this legacy of a show was ending.It had been on air for so long that i was quite upset for CBS to do such a thing.
However time went by and i tuned out of Guiding Light,unable to face its oncoming fate.There was little hope for the show as a band of fans gathered to try and save the show which i thought was very touching.
Come judgement day for GL i decided to tune in and loved it.Alan`s death,Reva & Josh,Phillip,and the 12 month flashforward was great.
However the cancellation of GL has issued the remaining soaps a dark,echoing warning that may change Daytime Television forever.
Judgement Day for the soaps is coming.

TNA No Surrender Predictions And Cornette
Being a fan of Wrestling gives me so much love for so many things for the sport.I love the action,love the storylines(when they are good) and the personalities of the wrestlers.This is everything TNA IS doing.So No Surrender is drawing near and so i believe i should give my predictions for the upcoming PPV.Here they are.
Prediction - Taylor Wilde & Sarita
Match 1
The Beautiful People Vs Taylor Wilde & Sarita
Tag Team Match To Crown The First TNA Knockout Tag Team Championship
Prediction - Taylor Wilde & Sarita
Reason - I know neither of these teams.Angelina Love left back to the mountains to live like a troll.I know Wilde is quite talented in the ring and not some sex symbol that Vince Mac would dream about at night next to the creature he calls her wife.But anyway these two would be good champions but i hate this idea.We do not need these titles.TNA are introducing them just to give a fingers up to WWE because they have a better Womens Division than they do.
Match 2
Eric Young Vs Hernandez
Prediction - Eric Young
Reason - If he is a heel then he needs a boost.Young is great talent and i think one day he will be a big star for TNA.
Match 3
Beer Money Inc (James Storm & Robert Roode) & Team 3D (Brother Ray & Brother Devon) Vs The Main Event Mafia (Scott Steiner & Booker T) & The British Invasion (Brutus Magnus & Doug Williams)
Lethal Lockdown Match
Prediction - Beer Money Inc & Team 3D
Reason - The MEM bore me beyond death and The BI are talented but just annoying.BM & 3D should get the win
Match 4
Rhino vs Bobby Lashley
Prediction - Lashley
Reason - Why Not
Match 5
Kevin Nash (C) Vs Abyss
$50,000 Bounty Challenge for The TNA Legends Championship.Nash wins he gets money,Abyss Wins he gets the title.
Prediction - Abyss
Reason - Hate these type of matches.And Nash does my tits in very much.Abyss needs to win and end this dumb stupid storyline.
Match 6
ODB Vs Cody Deaner
Intergender Match For The Vacant TNA Knockouts Championship
Prediction - ODB
Reason - If Deaner wins,The4 Horseman can claim my soul now
Match 7
Samoa Joe (C) Vs Daniels
TNA X Division Championship
Prediction - Joe
Reason - This will be a great match.Joe should retain despite in my opinion he is too big for another X Division reign.
Main Event
Kurt Angle (C) Vs AJ Styles Vs Matt Morgan Vs Sting
Four Way For The TNA World Heavyweight Championship
Prediction - Angle
Reason - I plan to see Angle/Styles at BFG (And Sting to still win to continue his "Taker Parody Streek" but Angle is running TNA basiclly.Everything revoles around Angle in some way.He is the most famous face on that roster.
Thats my prediction folks.
Oh and also ill talk about Cornette`s apparant release from TNA.This is good for Cornette because he didn`t do anything on TNA apart from shout and scream.So there.
