Glad to see I wasn't the only one that thought Lynn/McGuinness was motn, not that it really matters, but. Anyways, I loved the count out dynamic. The double countout from the tag match earlier in the night added a lot of heat to several countout spots in this title match. Everyone was so afraid that another one could be coming, that it added a ton to the match. It was also very different from most McGuinness title matches that I can recall, as Lynn basically dominated the entire second half of the match. McGuinness only used one lariat, which is pretty rare.
I really wasn't expecting the last two matches to be as good as they were, just given the live reviews from Pearce's booked shows so far. Not to mention with Dragon/Shima fwh coming up at FB, I didn't expect that type of match at all. I am highly looking forward to the dvd to see how the two matches come off.

Leaving for Philly in about an hour. No autograph session so I'm gonna have to get into super stalker mode (aka default mode) to complete my most prized possession:

All systems are go. I have arrived in Philade--*opens hotel room door*--HOLY SALAMANDERS AFLAME!!!!! The maids blasted the heat in my room then locked the door; it's gotta be 90° in here!!!
*TEN MINUTES LATER*
*gasp pant* OK...the air conditioner's on and I'm OK. I had to turn the AIR CONDITIONER on in a PHILADELPHIA hotel in DECEMBER just to f***ing BREATHE.
I hate humans!
Anyway, it's 2:30--belltime's in five-and-a-half hours. My hotel's in King Of Prussia, so I guess I should be going if I want to get in line early-like AND get supper on the way to eat there.
...Eh, I can wait 30 more minutes.

If that Aries/Fuji match doesn't Main Event I'm going to be mad. That match is my premature Match of the Year canidate without even seeing it. I just like those two that much.

I'm thinking about going into the city early tomorrow to try and catch a showing of The Wrestler, but I'm on the fence.
If I'm able to get into the 2:35 PM showing, I'd have enough time after to get something to eat and take my time getting to the Manhattan Center to wait for the doors to open. I honestly don't feel like leaving so early tomorrow, though. My original plan was to just take it easy tomorrow and then head out around 4-4:30. But since I'm hardly ever in the city, I figured, "Hey, why not try and catch The Wrestler while I'm there?" I don't know...
I think I need someone to push me to either side of the fence.

I think that Mori will beat Go tonight and I posted this here so that I can explain my logic. Mori has short arms, that relates him to a T-Rex and a T-Rex will mess you up. Also, we all know how the Japanese deal giant lizards, not very well.

Backdrop Driversaurus Rex? Exactly. Of course, if he were a Pokemon, he would have to "Mori-Lax" aka the evolved form of Snorlax.
