Apparently Gmail and Blogger have combined. I don't mind, except when I hit my *blog* shortcut, I get sent to the blogger login, but for some reason, Firefox decides to put in my gmail login; this confuses both the browser and me, and I'm sent to this blogger/gmail beta coalesence, which apparently has apparently hit their maximum for the time being; so I am forced to manually enter my login. I digress.

This video of Kenta Kobashi has been the latest "stuck-in-my-head" thing. Pretty big guy doing some sick clotheslines, chops, spinning neck chops, his Burning Hammer finisher, and some hefty-looking moonsaults.

The video is set to Alkaline Trio's "Burn", a song I didn't enjoy so much until it's heavy points where highlighted by some some god-fearing half-nelson suplexes. Now all I can see as it ends is a series of chumps being brutalized by these suplexes I've only seen in video games.

While looking for an image for this post, I came across the "Top 100 great images of Wrestling". I'm not sure a lot of you will feel the same stuff I felt when I saw them, but I thought it would be interesting to share:


Jerry "the King" Lawler and Ric Flair; two classics in their entrance attire...


"Macho man" Randy Savage and Elizabeth

I'm sure not many share my feelings when it comes to this stuff -- only a handful would really remember Owen Hart, British Bulldog, Mr. Perfect, Eddie Guerrero and thinking about how much the wrestling world has lost. Hogan went to his induction to the WWE Hall of Fame to meet a bunch of old school wrestlers. I've really enjoyed how Wikipedia and YouTube has got me way more into wrestling. Imagine following this stuff and seeing great untelevised matches through the wonder of the internet.
