With the oscars happening this sunday i thought today would be a perfect day to go with my 3rd annual oscar picks. Like the other times i will be picking my winner for the 5 big categories Best Supporting actress, best supporting actor, best actress, best actor, and of course the big one best picture. Along with each pick i will make a backup pick, that will be worth half as many points. Lets go onto the first category. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Best supporting actress&lt;/strong&gt;: The nominees for this category are Amy Adams for The Fighter, Helena Bonham Carter for The King's Speech, Melissa Leo for The Fighter, Hailee Steinfeld for True Grit, and Jacki Weaver for Animal Kingdom. I was surprised to see that Mila Kunis wasnt nominated for her performance in black swan, I thought she got good reviews for that movie. Now out of the nominated actresses i have only seen the kings speech so far and Helena Bonham Carter was very good in that movie. I just dont think she is going to win the award. I think im going to have to go with Melissa Leo for the Fighter she did win the golden globe and i havnt seen the movie yet to judge if she was good enough or not yet (hoping to see it before sunday). I think with my back up pick though i am going to go with HBC for The Kings Speech.&lt;strong&gt;Winner: Melissa Leo&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Backup: Helena Bonham &lt;/strong&gt;Carter &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Best Supporting Actor&lt;/strong&gt;: The nominees for this category are Chrsitian Bale for The Fighter, Geoffrey Rush for The King's Speech, Jeremy Renner for The Town, Mark Ruffalo for The Kid's Are Alright, and John Hawks for Winter's Bones. Now in this category i have seen a few of the movies, like i said earlier i saw the kings speech. I have aslo seen The Town which i was upset wasnt nominated for best picture, it was one of the best movies ive seen all year. Now both men were great in each movie, personally i thought they were each the best part of their respective movies. However i dont see either one of them winning the award this year. I feel like this category is one of the most obvious winners of the year. Everyone has talked non stop about how great Christian Bale is and that there is no way he doesnt win the award for best supporting actor this year. He did win the golden globe so he has a case to make as the favorite. So i am going to have to pick him to win it this year. Back up was actually the tough part for me to pick because it came down to rush and renner. I feel like it doesnt matter which one i pick because it is going to Bale this year so just becasue i loved the movie so much im going to go with Jeremy Rener as my back up pick this year. &lt;strong&gt;Winner: Christian Bale &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Back up: Jeremy Renner &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Best Actress&lt;/strong&gt;: The Nominees are Annette Bening for The Kids Are Alright, Nicole Kidmann for Rabbit Hole, Natalie Portman for Black Swan, Jennifer Lawrence for Winters Bone, and Michelle Williams for Blue Valentine. Now unfortunatlly i havnt seen any of these movies yet so im pretty much basing this soley on what ive heard from the media. According to all the award shows and the "experts" Natalie Portman is a runaway in this category. Everyone else who has made picks has chosen her to win the award. Part of me feels like because of all the attention i should choose else were, but at the same time i feel like choosing else ware is going to cost me the pick. So i think im going to have to go with Natalie Portman in the Black Swan. for my back up though i have heard very good things about Nicole Kidman in Rabbit Hole so i think thats were im going to go back up wise. &lt;strong&gt;Winner: Natalie Portman Back up: Nicole Kidman&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Best Actor&lt;/strong&gt;: The Nominees are Colin Firth for The Kings Speech, James Franco for 127Hours, Jesse Eisenberg for The Social Network, Jeff Bridges for True Grit, and Javier Bardem for Biutiful. I was alittle surprised that Mark Wahlberg wasnt nominated. Now for the people who actually were nominated i have only seen the kings speech and can honestly say Colin Firth was fantastic in that movie. I can see where all of his oscar hype is coming from. Also alot of people felt he was robbed of the oscars last year so he will most certainly win it this year. At the same time though i have heard very good things about James Franco's performance from 127Hours. Theres also Jeff Bridges who takes on the role of rooster cogburn which won John Wayne an oscar back in 1969. But Ive heard that in the movie its pretty much like watching The Dude play a cowboy and it kind of loses its credibility. Thats why i have narrowed it down to Colin Firth and James Franco. The hard part is picking the winner but im going to have to go with Colin Firth just because ive actually seen that movie and know what im talking about. &lt;strong&gt;Winner: Colin Firth Back up: James Franco&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Best Picture&lt;/strong&gt;: Here we are the big award of the night. The one people are going to struggle to stay awake for and some will fall asleep only to go to work the next day telling everyone they work with they saw the whole thing when realy they just saw the winner announced on the today show. The nominees for this award are The Social Network, Inception, Toy Story 3, The Fighter, The Kings Speech, 127Hours, True Grit, The Kids Are Alright, Winters Bone, and Black Swan. First of i want to say i was very upset that The Town was not nominated for best picture this year. I truly belived it was one of the best movies i have seen this year. I actuallu like dit better than all of the nomianted movies I have seen. Which by the way is just about half of them. So far i have seen, The Social Network, Inception, Toy Story 3, and The Kings Speech. This was by far the toughest category for me to pick from. Some very good movies nominated here. The Social Network did win the Golden GLobe for the same category so thats got to count for something right? At the same time though some of the other movies i have seen i thought were a little bit better than the scoial network. Liek for example i thought Inception was a little better than it but i dont see Inception winning best picture. I also thought The Kings speech was better than the Social Network, that one i could see wining the Oscar. But I dont know it's a very tough call. I dont see Toy Story 3 winning best picture(although i guarantee it wins best animated film). I give the fighter a very god chance of pulling out the win in this category also. It was a very tough decision for me to have to make but in the end i went with The Social Network as the movie that wins the oscar. Picking a back up is just as hard but i had it narrowed down to the kings speech and the fighter but i went with the fighter as my back up. &lt;strong&gt;Winner: The Social Network Back up: The Fighter.&lt;/strong&gt; i really hope i dont get screwed in this category again by having my back up win like last year when i was stupid and picked Avatar over the Hurt Locker. I still havnt f rogivin myself for that one yet.&lt;br /&gt;Wll ther you have it folks my oscar picks for this year. I hope to see a few more of the movies before sunday but i doubt i will get the chance to see alot more before then, seeing as how its already friday. But i hope all of you who watch enjoy and also feel free to leave a comment telling me what you think of my picks and make a few pick of your own.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-4695345883312314147?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/4695345883312314147/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=4695345883312314147' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/4695345883312314147'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/4695345883312314147'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2011/02/and-oscar-goes-to.html' title='And the Oscar goes to'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-6557974238036509669</id><published>2010-07-20T11:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-20T13:00:22.977-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Forgetta bout it</title><content type='html'>everyone i know likes movies.  each person has their own favorite style of movies.  for me its a good mobster movie, i love them.  theres just somethin about them thats just really good.  latelly ive been watching alot of mobster movies and thought of a good idea, i decided to rank my top 10 mobster films.  now looking back at what ive come up with for my top 10 there could be a lot of people who will disagree with me, and thats fine but those people are wrong.  now on to the list of top 10 best all time mobster movies.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. &lt;strong&gt;The Untouchables&lt;/strong&gt; this movie could be one of the most underrated mafia movies there is. a great movie that if youve never seen i highly recomend.  without giving to much of the movie away it has to do with al capone a notoriuos gantser from chicago in the 20's and 30's.  It takes place around the time of prohibition which was when alcohal was illegal in the U.S.  The movie has an alstar cast of Robert De Niro, Kevin Costner, Andy Garcia, and Sean Connery.  its just a great movie that i personally feel is vastlly underrated.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. &lt;strong&gt;Road to Perdition&lt;/strong&gt; this is deffinatlly one of my favorite Tom Hanks movies, he was great in it.  The movie takes place in illinois during the great depression.  The movie is about tom hanks character and his son trying to get revenge on the mafia that tom hanks worked for.  I would tell you more but it would kinda give the movie away.  This movie made me realize you really dont know what yyour parents are doing behind closed doors.  A great movie that i feel everyone should definatlly see at least once.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. &lt;strong&gt;Pulp Fiction&lt;/strong&gt; One of Quentin Tarantino's best movies.  This is one of the more famous mobster films and for a good reason.  THis one is filled to the brim with stars that include John Travolta, Samuel Jackson, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Harvey Keitell, and Christopher Walken.  If youve never seen this movie then you obviouslly dont watch much tv as its on some channel at least once a day.  many people consider this to be tarantino's best film, I dont agree with those people while this is a great movie i think his best movie is one that will be on this list shortlly.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. &lt;strong&gt;The Godfather PartII&lt;/strong&gt;  We are talking about what I consider to be the greatest sequel of all time.  THis movie is almost as good as the original.  This movie really moved the story along nicelly and made the series into the best mafia movie series there is.  Unfortunatlly the 3rd one kinda hurt it as a mafia movie series. (luckily i dont really know of any other mafia movie series) The whole series is about the corleone family and their "buisness".  An alla round great movie that is deffinatlly my favorite sequal ever.  One of the only movies i know of where some people debate whether or not it was better than the first one.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.  &lt;strong&gt;Resevoir Dogs&lt;/strong&gt;  Now a couple of minutes ago I sad that i dont think Pul Fiction is Tarantinos best movie and thats because i think its this one.  Resevoir Dogs was his first movie and boy did he ever start out with a good one.  The movie is about a group of people who dont know each other and use colors as code names.  THey make a heist but turns out one of them is a cop and they gotta try to figure out which one it is.  Th whole thing is very good and in my opinoin Tarantinos best film.  Although thanks to this movie i will never be able to listen to stuck in the middle with you the same way again. If you dont know what ai mean watch the movie.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;strong&gt;Boondock Saints&lt;/strong&gt;  Incase anyone is wondering i mean the first one not the second one, not that the second one is bad it's just not up to par witht he first one.  The way i look at the first one is its the deffinition of a cult classic.  I had never heard of this movie or remember even seeing one commercial for it yet just about everyone I know has seen it and loves it( and rightfully so).  The movie is about a couple of irish brothers trying to take down the russian mob.  The movie has some great scenes and one hilarious scene featuring a cat. (Is it dead? lol)  This is one of those movies that I like most epopel can watch again and again and again (although to be fair i can do that with every movie on my list)  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;strong&gt;Casino&lt;/strong&gt;  First of let me start by saying no one makes a better mob movie than Martin Scorsese, also no ones stars in a mob movie better than Robert De Niro.  So you put thos etwo elements together and ou have one of the best mob films ive ever seen.  THis movie is a true story about a casino owner in vegas and how the mafia was running thigs back then.  It aslo does a good job showing the downfall of the mafia.  along with Robert De Niro stars Sharon Stone , and Joe Pesci the movie aslo has Rhode Islands own James Woods.  (Who actually made movies and isnt just a seemingly regular guest star on family guy).  Deffinatlly one of the greatest mob movies there is. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;The Departed&lt;/strong&gt;  This is one of my 2 altime favorite movies.  This is a classic movie that keeps people ont he edge of their seats.  Once again Scorsese proves why he is the best at mob movies with this classic.  The movie stars Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Whalberg, Jack Nicholson, Martin Sheen, and Alec Baldwin.  The movie is about an undercover cop who joins one of the mos notorious Boston mobs.  While at the same time this mob has one of their guys undercover inside of the police station.  The movie is a hunt betwen both undercover guys trying to track down the other with helo from the police and the mafia.  Its a great movie that has some twists at the end that some people dont see coming.  This movie was one of my favorites from the first time i saw it i instantlly loved it a great movie that deserved all the awards it won.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;The Godfather&lt;/strong&gt;  Thats right people the godfather is number2 on my top 10 list.  I know a majority of people would rank it number 1 but i am not one of those people.  Dont get me wrong this is a great movie and i obviouslly think that otherwise i woulndt have made it the second greatest mob movie of all time i just think there is one movie bette than it.  Now if you have never seen the godfather then there is something wrong with your life this is 100% a movie everyone needs to see at LEAST once.  A great movie that obviouslly was the originator for the greatest mob series of all time.  This is perhaps the staple of which mob movies are measured by and rightfully so (i say this because my number 1 movie came out after the godfather so it wouldnt really be the staple if there already is a staple).  One of the best mob films there evr was and it also delivered perhaps the greatest quote in movie history everyone has heard it but ill put it up just incase youve lived under a rock your whole life.  "I'm gonna make him an offer he cant refuse"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;Goodfellas&lt;/strong&gt;  Thats right Goodfellas is without a doubt in my opinion the greatest mob movie there ever was.  Like i said withe the departed bieng one of my two favorite all time movies this is the other one.  Scorsese's best movie ever.  This movie made Joe Pesci and Oscar winner, and in 1990 i still think the oscars made the biggest mistake in osca history when Dances with wolves beat this for best picture no way is dances with wolves better than goodfellas.  Anyway goodfellas is about the real life story of Henry Hill who was a mobster in Newyork from the 60's to the 80's.  It stars Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, and Joe Pesci.  Pesci plays Tommy Devito who is a crazy man mobster but has one of the best scenes in the movie.  De Niro plays Jimmy Conway who is kinda like the leader of the 3 of them.  The movie really shows what the life of a mobster was trully like and it made me for a short time wanna be a mobster.  great movie that i feel is the greatest mob movie there ever was.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There you ahve it folks my top 10 mafia movies of all time.  If you think i put one movie to high or one movie to low or left a movie out that you feel should be on this list or just any comments about it at all leave em for me and i will more than likely give youa  response.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-6557974238036509669?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/6557974238036509669/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=6557974238036509669' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/6557974238036509669'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/6557974238036509669'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2010/07/forgetta-bout-it.html' title='Forgetta bout it'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-4318606433457249076</id><published>2010-04-01T15:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-01T17:37:10.675-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ranking Wrestlemania</title><content type='html'>Okay so Wrestlemania 26 was last sunday and i have been in a heavy wrestlemania mood still since then, so to help myself out i decided i would rank all the wrestlemanias from worst to best.  I probablly should have done this last year since it was a more monumental wrestlemania, but it wasnt all that great so i didnt still have this buzz and also i didnt think of doing this till like 2 datys ago.  So without further ado we shall start the countdown with the worst wrestlemania in the history of wrestlemanias.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;26. Wrestlemania9- This Wrestlemania was just bad theres no otherway to put it.  It was an awful wrestlemania that never really had a good match.  The best match was when the show opened and Shawn Michales some how pulled off a good match with Tatanka.  The worst part about this mania was the end.  It had Yokozuna beat Bret Hart to win his first ever WWE title only to have him lose it to Hulk Hogan literally 2 minutes later.  This was just one of those wrestlemanias so bad you actually have to see it once. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;25. Wrestlemania7- Now this one in all honest wasnt all that much better than 9.  It had an okay match between hogan and sgt slaughter for the wwf title which hogan won that night.  It also had a match between savage and the ultimate warrior which wanst all that great either.  But it did however feature the Undertaker start his undefeated streak against Jimmy Snuka.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;24. Wrestlemania8- It seems like there was a period of time in the beggining of the 90's were the WWE(F) wasnt really delivering on there wrestlemanias.  Although i must admit having this as the third worst mania ever really says something about how good of an event mania truly is.  This event actually had some pretty good matches like randy savage beating ric flair to carture the WWF title for a second time, or Jake the snake becoming victime number2 in the Undertakers now 18-0 streak so while it wasnt anything special it wasnt all that bad either. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23. Wrestlemania2- This was a decent mania were they wanted to be inivative i guess and have it being broadcasted from 3 different locations.  It was in Chicago, Los Angels, and New York.  THis had a battle royal won by Andre the Giant but i think the thing i remember most about this battle royal is it really featured bret hart as a guy who could go to that next leverl(which he ended up doing later on very very well). It also had a steel cage amtch between hogan and king kong bundy that wasnt all that great.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;22. Wrestlemania25- This one is dissapointing ona  few levels, while it pulled off not only the match of the year but one of the greatest at mania ever in Shawn Michales vs. The Undertaker for the first time, it also lacked in a lot of places.  The match with jericho and the legends was not all that great and was only good because steamboat was still good for some reason.  Also this was a monumental Wrestlemania it should have ahd some extra something there that just seemed to be missing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21. Wrestlemania1- Now let me make this a little cleaer i am in no means calling this a bad wrestlemania it was actually good.  Its just no were near as good as the 21 that are better than it.  Now i feel like when people rate manias they put this one so high because it was the first and wihtout it i wouldnt be making this list and that is very true.  But when you look at the grand scheme of things it really doesnt come close to other wrestlemanias.  Now it had a main event that i wouldnt ncesarilly call good but more fun.  It was Mr.T and Hulk Hogan vs Roddy Pipper and Paul Orndorf.  Now his was a decent match that was fun to watch(not as fun as MR.T and Hulk Hogan hostin SNL the night before there scene with Billy Crystal is a classic youtube it if youve never seen it its good stuff) but if you look at the quality of the match it wasnt anything special just like the whole night it was good and it worked obviouslly but ti wasnt anything special other than the first wrestlemania.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20. Wrestlemania5- This wrestlemania was the debut of one Shawn Michales and the Midnight Rockers in a tag team match which they lost to the natural disasters.  This was actually a decent match.  But the match of the night and possible the only other good match was Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Savage for the WWF title.  This was right around the time they were starting to give savage a heel push which i still think was a great idea.  The whole fued was built around Miss Elizabeth and it seemed (when i watch it on tape) like everyone was split betweeen hogan and savage.  You eithe rliked one or the other but not both at this time.  This mania also had a decent match were Rick Rude was some how able to carry Ultimate Warrioir were Rude was able to win the IC title.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19. Wrestlemania11- This one was a special one for the people who work for the WWE because this one was from Hartford CT, and there headquarters are in Stamford CT.  So alot of people feel like they were going home almost.  But the card featured a great underrated match between Shawn Michales and Diesel, along with another fun match between bam bam bigelow and lawrence taylor. This was the only time and for good reasons that bigelow headlined a wrestlemania.  THe rest of the show was decent it had a good submission match between Bret Hart and Bob Backlund that had a weird finish were you couldnt tell if backlund actually gave up or not and then he went on some weird rant about seeing lights after that.  IDK overall it was a decent mania that i feel like many people forget about.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18. Wrestlemania13- This mania was only good for 2 reasons and those are the WWF title match between Pyscho Sid and The Undertaker, and one of the top 10 mainia matches of all time a sumbmission match between Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin.  That match made this wrestlemania good there was nothing else to it besides that match.  The Undertaker match just helped solidify this as a good mania.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17. Wrestlemania6- I will be the first to admit that i was one of about 10 people on the face of the earth who really wasnt a hogan fan.  I just thought why do these people like him so much hes not all that great of a wrestler but that is an argument for another time (i smell a future post lol j/k maybe).  Then you have the Ultimate warrioir who could easily be in the list of to 10 Worst wrestlers of all time.  You put these two in the main event of a wrestlemania and you are sure for a disaster right?  Wrong some how these two elements pulled off what is considered one of the 10 best matches in wrestlemania history and even I have to admit it was a pretty dam good match.  I still dont know how they did it but im just glad they did. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16. Wrestlemania15- This was the one that featured the Rock and Austin finally showing the world they are the real deal especially in the attitude era.  All of the matches that came before it were decent not great but decent.  There was the hell in a cell match between The Undertaker and Big Bossman that was an average match, but then these two came out and tore the house down and made this a good wrestlemania that will be remembered for a while. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. Wrestlemania4- This was a decent mania that was mostly a tournament for the vacant WWF title.  I must admit i do enjoy a good tournament which is why i am still upset that they got rid of the King OF The Ring.  But this night it was the era of Randy Savge where he captured his first ever WWF title which had the all of trump plaza emotional after that.  The end of the show had Savage celebrating with the title and carrying Miss Elizabeth on his shoulders and Hogan came out and celebrated wih them it was just a nice moment and helped make this mania pretty good.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. Wrestlemania26- Thats right the one that just happened and it was a good wresltemania.  now I'll admit i may be rating it this hight partly ebcause it featured Shwan Michales last match adn that could very well be true, but it really was a solid night besides that match.  It had 2 great title matches and a slew of mid card matches that were also very good.  And then yes like i sadi there was the phenomonal match with Shawn and the Undertaker which happened to so far be Shawns last match although i am one of the few who feel like shwan is really done unfortunatlly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. Wrestlemania22- This was a solid mania that had some really good matches.  It actually could have made the top ten if 2 things didnt happen one is the BookerT vs boogyman match and 2 was the Kan and Big Show vs Chris master and Carlito match.  Other than that it was a really solid card that had a really good main event with John Cena beating HHH to retain his WWE title.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. Wrestlemania23- This was the first time a mania opened with the money in the bank match and that may have hurt it because it opened with such a big bang that it took a while for anything to catch up to it.  It was such a good money in the ban that everything after it until Undertaker Btista was just like okay that wasnt bad but i though ppv got usually got better going forward.  THen those 2 title matches happened and you were like oh okay so there are matches here better than those first two.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. Wrestlemania16- This was a great wresltemania that just barly missed my top 10 and i mean barely.  THis had a phenomina triangle ladder match between the hardys dudleys and edge and christian.  The main even also was very good with the fatal four way between Mick Foley, HHH, The Rock, and The Big Show where each person had a different McMahon in there corner.  It also was the first time at a wresltemania were a bad guy one the main event match and that was something new and cool that i realy enjoyed.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Wrestlemania18- This is a mania that only makes it in the top 10 for one reason and i will get to that reason in a second, first let me say it had some good matches that usually get underrated like Taker Flair Austin Hall or HHH Jericho but the reason it is in my top 10 is because of Hogan Rock.  This match was such a super dream match that to this day when i go back and watch it i get goosebumbs.  The fact that this was actually happening was increadible and iam not even a hogan fan and i thought it was monumetal beyond belief.  I was also very happy to see the rock wh o i feel is the better of the 2 and was totally my favorite of the attitude era win this match.  The fans were so into this match like i was watching at home this could have been the loudest i was for a match i watched at home.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Wrestlemania12- This is only this high because it features what i conseider to not only be the best wrestlemania match but the best match period in Bret hart vs. Shawn Michaels in a 60 minute Iron Man Match.  If you have never seen this match youtube it rent it do something to make sure you see this match rite now.  Forget about the fact that it was the first ever WWF title win for Shawn Michaels and was such a good moment to see even if bret had won this would still be the best match ever.  The rest of the night actually kind of sucked to be honest besides Undertaker Diesel the rest of the show was crap but this Iron Man Match was so good that it made this mania a top 10. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Wrestlemania14- This was a good wrestlemania all the way through the only thing i didnt like about this mania was besides the Michaels Austin match every match was either just over or very under 10 minutes.  But on to the Michaels Austin match.  This match was easily the match of the night which shows just how good Shawn truly was.  He carried Austin and yes i say carried because this was before Austin was a great wrestler which he was.  He carried Austin all while he had a broken back.  if you go back and watch the match you can see the pain on his face and in this match there were alot of moves that just made the pain so much worse.  This also was the official beginning of the Attitude era which in my opion is still the best era pro wrestling has ever seen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Wrestlemania10- This mania was sooo good and sooo memerable.  It started off with a classic between Bret Hart and Owen Hart in a match that ended with Owen beating Bret which I never expected to happen (although i was 3 and thought it was real still and at that point Bret was my Idol at least until later in the night which i will explain).  Then ther was the abosulte match of the night and deffinatlly imo the #3 wrestlemania match of all time the infamous ladder match.  This match is when i became a massive Shawn Michaels fan.  At this point he deffinatlly surpassed bret as my favorite(although it would take ma few years to let Bret go as the all around top dog) a spot that he reamins to this day and i can say with 100% confidence he will never be passed.  Any ways it was a great match that even if you have seen go see again.  Then there was the end were bret hart regained his WWF title from yokuzuna in a match that was actually pretty good and at 3 years ol and Bret as now one of my favorites made me very happy to see.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Wrestlemania3- This one is as high as it is for a few reasons.  Lets start with the obvious reason.  Hogan slamming Andre, there might not be any more talked about moment in all of pro wrestling.  Everyone knows about when Hogan slammed Andre at wrestlemania3 even people who dont like wrestling.  Then theres the fact that it is the highets attend wrestlemania in the history of wrestlemania but not only the highest attended mania but also the highest attened wrestling event in North america with 93,000 people.  Then there is the main reason i rated it this high Savage vs. Steamboat now i said that the ladder match was the 3rd best match and that is because this is the second gretest only behind the Iron Man Match which i said was the greatest match period so that is quite the compliment.  Seriouslly ive said go see alot of matches if youve never seen them but this is one that should deffinatlly be seen right after the Iron Man Match if youve never seen that.  Just one of the all time greatest matches.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Wrestlemania20- This was good all the way around.  It had great amtches and great moments.  It could have been in the top 3 if it wasnt for Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg.  Now on paper that sounds like it would be a good match right? No it is perhaps one of the worst match in mania history that isnt a divas match(because those are almost always bad).  But everything else was great the eddie guerrero vs kurt angle amtch were eddie retained his WWE title in a very creative way, not to mention the phenominal main even were Chris Beniot defeated both HHH and Shwan Michales to win his first ever World Heavyweight title.  Then after that match were the confetti was falling and Chris was celebrating his big victorty Eddie is in the ring with his WWE title and they hug and celebrate together a genuine moment that will now be remembered forever.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Wrestlemania24- Lets forget for a moment that i was there this was all around a great mania minus the divas match were the power wnet out.  It had what has to be the best money in the bank match yet.  It had Ric Flairs last match against Shawn Michaels in what was a tremendous match.  It ha the best involvment with a celebrity yet with Floyd Mayweather taking on the Big Show and it also featured a very good match between th Undertaker and Edge were the undertaker won his 6th wordl title, add the fact that yes i was there and you ahev the fourth best mania ever in my mind. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Wrestlemania21- This was another one that was good from top to bottom.  It featured 2 good title matches seeing Batista and Cena each win there first ever big time titles.  It had a great match that is often underrated between the Undertaker and Randy Orton where orton proved he could hang in the main event circle.  Then there is the match that many call the match of the decade and i have to agree with them on that between Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels, the only bad part of this match was the fact that it had to end.  This was a solid mania that was only out done by 2 making it the #3 on my list of best manias.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Wrestlemanis19- This mania had the best all around matches in it, there litterally wasnt 1 bad match every single one of them was great.  It featured Shawn Michaels return to Wrestlemania ina  classic against Chris Jericho.  It had Rock vs. Austin 3 were the rock was finally able to beat Austin in another classic match that night.  It had Vince vs. Hogan which you think wouldve sucked but since they made it a no holds barred match was actually really good.  And then there was the main event which i would call the match of the night except its hard to call any of these matches the match of the night because it was so good.  But anyways the main even featured Brock Lesnar beating Kurt Angle for the WWE title were in the match brock missed a shooting star press and gave himmself a concussion and made the match that much better its to bad that he got hurt but him missing and landing on his head looked so much sicker than if he had hit it.  This was just a phenominal wresltemania. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Wrestlemania17- This is the greatest mania ever for a few reasons.  It featured a crazy hardcore match foer the hardcore title between Raven, Big Show and Kane.  It had what i consideer to be the match of the night with Angle vs. Benoit in a classic.  It had a street fight between vince and shane that was just something else and also featured the first time Shane went coast to coast and that move made me go crazy.  And it had the Rock Austin 2 which out of the 3 is deffiantlly there best encounter.  THis was just all aorund solid and is only better than 19 because it had something else i cant really describe there was just some it factor that night that helped make this the ebst mania ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well thats all 26 in order in my opinon.  Well have to see how next years ranks(not that im gonna rank them every year because that is a lot of work i really dont want to do).  @7 comes from Atlanta next year and is more than likelly gonan have HBK getting inducted into the hall of fame i might just have to be going backl to wrestlemania.  I promise in my next few posts to talk about something other than wrestling as that is what my past 3 have been about and im sure some people could be sick of hearing me talk about it, but tis just one of those things i could talk about forever.  Well have to see what is on my mind the next time i post, im bettin sports but you can never be sure with me even i dont know what im gonna think about ahead of time.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-4318606433457249076?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/4318606433457249076/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=4318606433457249076' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/4318606433457249076'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/4318606433457249076'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2010/04/ranking-wrestlemania.html' title='Ranking Wrestlemania'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-5698402564925230452</id><published>2010-03-30T11:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-30T12:53:14.435-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Wrestlemania 26 Results</title><content type='html'>Wow was wrestlemania 26 ever good, how good you ask well lucky for you i am here to let you know, with my now annual wrestlemania results.  For those who dont know i rate each match on a scale of 1-10.  Let me start off by saying i had high expectations for wrestlemania and they were all but reached so without further ado on to the results&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Miz and The Big Show defeated John Morrison and R-Truth&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;This match was a good way to open the show.  It had some nice back and forth action that got the crowd into it.  The length was a little short but overall this match didnt need to be too long.  The match ended when The Big Show made a blind tag and hit John Morrison with his knockout punch as Morrison was about to do his flying chuck kick on miz. Like i said before i feel like this match served its point of making Showmiz a tag team that can beat all comers and i look forward to what they do with them moving forward. &lt;strong&gt;Match Rating: 7&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Randy Orton defeated Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase jr.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This match was actually much better than i was expecting it to be.  It wasnt a typical triple threat match were everyone is involved at once.  They did a good job of starting it off as a 2on1 match and then from there breaking it down almost into 2 seperate singles matches.  The match broke down when Dibiase went for a pin and Cody wasnt havin any of that.  Then they started to go at it until they saw Randy start to get back up and then tried to go after him.  Randy hit them with a ddt at the same time and Ted ran out of the ring.  Orton got ready to RKo Cody but then decided a nice punt to the skull would be better after that Ted tried to hit orton with dream street which got reversed into an RKO and then orton picked up the win.  &lt;strong&gt;Match Rating: 8&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jack Swagger defeated Christian, MVP, Kofi Kingston, Kane, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Shelton Benjamin, and Matt Hardy in a Money In The Bank Ladder Match&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Now if the rumor is treu that this is the last MITB match at wrestlemania they did not give it a good sendoff.  THis was without a doubt the worst MITB match yet.  Now with that said it was sttill a pretty good match.  I was however very dissapointed to see limited use of Shelton Benjamin int his match he is the reason this match is usaually as good as it is.  But anyway the match ended with Christian about to grab the breifcase only to have Jack Swagger knock him off the ladder by hitting him in the face with the breifcase.  Then Swagger took what felt like 20 minutes(really like 30seconds still pretty long though) to take down the breifcase and pull off the shock of the night.  I must admit i never in a million years would have thought that Swagger was gonna be the guy to win it this year.  So i deffinatlly give them an a for shock value here.  &lt;strong&gt;Match Rating: 6&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HHH defeated Sheamus&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This match was a good solid match.  The pace wasnt fast but i didnt expect it to be but at the same time it wasnt to slow either, it kept a good pace throughout.  The match had some good momets were HHH was about to go for the pedigree but was countered and hit with the big boot.  Sheamus went for the pin but was only able to get a 2 count.  Then Sheamus hit HHH with another big bot but was spent so he wasnt able to make the pin.  Then as they are both getting up HHH hits a pedigree from out of nowhere to score the win in what was a solid match.  Sheamus deffinatlly proved he has potential and HHH helped him look really good in this match so cudos to the both of them.  &lt;strong&gt;Match Rating 8&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rey Mysterio defeated CM Punk&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This match was very good and of all the matches that had happend up to this point was deffinatlly the best match.  The only complaint i had was i felt it was a little to short i feel like they should have gotten another 5 minutes or so.  But none the elss this match was still good otherwise.  It had a lot of fast paced back and forth action.  The match ended with CM Punk getting ready to hit mysterio with the go to sleep mystreio was able to counter and push punk into gallows and also into position for the 619 which rey hit and then was able to hit the splash and pick up the win.  Like i said good match that if given maybe another 5 minutes or so could have been match of the night.  &lt;strong&gt;Match Rating: 9&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Br&lt;strong&gt;et Hart defeated Vince McMahon in a No Holds Barred Lumberjack Match&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This match was what i thought it was going to be about 10 minutes of Bret beating the shit out of Vince.  The match started with vince saying he bought the Hart family and had them in his pocket only for Bret to say that the Hart family told Bret and he told them to double cross Vince so that wrestlemania 26 would be known as thenight Bret screwed Vince.  The match was basically Bret beating vince up.  Vince leaves the ring and gets beat up by the Hart family.  Vince gets a crobar and fends off the Hart family only to get back in the ring and have Bret beat Vince up with the crowbar.  THen a chair gets brought into the ring and Bret deides to hit Vince with it about 100,000 times.  Then Bret puts vince in the sharpshooter and wins.  I have to admit as much as this match sucked seeing Bret apply the sharpshooter again was awsome and brought me back to my childhood for a minute, but it didnt help this match in the good factor.  &lt;strong&gt;Match Rating: 3&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chris Jericho defeated Edge to retain the World Heavyweight title&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I must admit i had high expectations for this match adn it lived up to them.  THis match was phenominal and was one of the best of the night.  Jericho winning the title was a small surprise that i was happy with.  The match had alot of back and forth action that ended with Jericho hitting Edge in the face with the belt and only gets a 2 count.  THen he hits Edge with the code breaker and retains the title.  THis match was very solid and the after beat down that saw Edge spear Jericho off of the anounce table through the litle baricade they have was pretty awsome and even added to this match that was already great before that spot.  &lt;strong&gt;Match Rating: 9&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vickie Guerrero, Michelle McCool, Layla, Maryse, and Alicia Fox defeated Beth Phoenix, Gail Kim, Kelly Kelly, Eve, and Mickie James&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;WHAT THE FUCK.  This match could not have been serious was the WWE kidding me with this shit.  Although through my pissed offness i have to give this match credit because it did the one thing i didnt think was gonna be possible that night, it was worse then BRet vs. Vince.  seriouslly this match was not even serious and was an embarrassment to Wrestlemania.  THis match had soooooo many messed up moves it wouldnt have been good for a raw.  THe worst part was after Vickie hit the ABSOLUTE WORST frog splach i have ever seen she then went to pin Kelly Kelly and pulled her shoulders to high so the ref had to not wait to finish what could possible be the worst match in Wrestlemania history.  &lt;strong&gt;Match Rating: 1&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John Cena defeated Batista to become the new WWE champion&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Wow this match was soooo much better than i was expecting.  I was very impressed with this match. In the match there were many reversals including a ddt were cena landed almost right on his head and batista didnt tough him for a minute and i thought we had another owen hart steve austin incident.  But that thankfully wasnt the case as cena seemd to be okay and finished the match strong getting big Dave in the STF and made him tap out.  THis match was great it wasnt to long or to short and it was just overall great.  &lt;strong&gt;Match Rating: 9&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Undertaker defeated Shawn Michaels to go 18-0 at Wrestlemania and ending Shawn Michales career&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Let me start off by saying sorry Edge Jericho sorry Cena Batista you guys put in a hell of an effort but this match like the one they had last year was the match of the night and will be the match of the year.  This match was very bitersweet and i feel Jerry Lawler said it best at ringside during the match "you dont want to see the streak end but at the same time you dont want to see Shwan Michales career and either".  Very true king very true.  This match was phenominal and i feel like if it truly shwan last match which i beleive it was it was a great way to go out.  The match had some great movies including a moonsault from were shawn was on the turnbuckl eand hit the Undertaker through the spanish anounce table.  The only downside in this match is the fact that The Undertaker more than likelly actually hurt his leg.  The match ended with Undertaker hitting a tombstone only to have shwan kick out causing the undertaker to yell at shwan to stay down.  Shawn wouldnt do that and gave the Undertaker the old thumb across the throat and then gave him a nice little slap to the face causing the undertaker to get pissed and hit shwan with another tombston this time getting the win and ending Shawn's career. As sad as i am to see shawn go (and trust me i am very sad about this he was my favorite wrestler ever and also just the greatest wrestler ever) i glad to see Shwan going out while he is still on top Im glad Shawn wasnt one of those guys who keeps wrestling even though he doesnt have it anymore cough ric flair, hulk hogan cough.  Like they say all good things must come to an end (like this post lol) but i am really glad to see the WWE do the righ thing and let Shawns lat match ever be the last match of the night.  &lt;strong&gt;Match Rating: 10&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;overall i gave this years Wrestlemania an overall grade of 70/100 or a c.  This would have been better if it wasnt for that stupid divas match.  But this years wrestlemania was deffinatlly better than last years mania.  All 3 main events were phenominal and some matches were better than i thought.  But that bring this years wrestlemania to an official close (thats right people wrestlemania is fully over till i right my results page) im thinking within the next day or two im gonna rank al the wrestlemanias from worst to best so be sure to check that out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-5698402564925230452?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/5698402564925230452/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=5698402564925230452' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/5698402564925230452'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/5698402564925230452'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2010/03/wrestlemania-26-results.html' title='Wrestlemania 26 Results'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-4287814092689285887</id><published>2010-03-24T11:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-24T12:06:22.804-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Wrestlemania 26</title><content type='html'>Well its that time of year again the time of Wrestlemania.  To get myself ready for wrestlemania i have been watching all of the wrestlemanias of past going backwars(i have no idea why im going backwards it just kinda happened).  Im actually watching Wrestlemania 17 right now the best wrestlemania.  Now Wrestlemania is a special time of year for wrestling fans.  Each fan has their favorite mine being 24 for obvious reasons(I was there) but other people have their own favorites.  Wrestlemania has made some of the best memories in Wrestling.  Whether it is seeing Hulk Hogan pick up and slam Andre the Giant in front of 93,000 fans at wrestlemania3.  Or seeing the Ultimate Warrior actually have a good match with Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania6.  Maybe its seeing Shawn Michaels electrify the audience with a magnificent ladder match at Wrestlemania10.  Mayeb its seeing Shawn Michaels acheive his life long dream of being the WWE champion at wrestlemania12.  Maybe its Stone Cold Steve Austins shocking heel turn at wrestlemania17.  Or maybe its seeing The Rock and Hulk Hogan go one on one at wrestlemania18.  Or even Ric Flairs emotional last match at wrestlemania24.  All of these and many more is a small part of what makes wrestlemania so legendary. THis year is the 26th anual wrestlemania and i feel like we will witness another Wrestlemania moment. Now on to my picks for the show&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John Morrison and R-Truth vs. The Miz and The Big Show for the unified Tag Team Titles&lt;/strong&gt;.  Im not sure if this match will actualy be on the ppv or if it will be the pre mania match they have for the live audience.  If it is on the Wrestlemania card it will more than likelly open the show.  If given enough time this could be a good match.  John Morrison could perhaps be the best wrestler in the WWE right now while the Miz has been very impressive lately.  Overall though i dont see Showmiz losing their titles anytime in the near future so they are my pick to win this match.  &lt;strong&gt;WINNER: The Miz and THe Big Show&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Christian vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Evan Bourne vs. Kane vs. Jack Swagger vs. Drew Mcyntire vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. MVP vs. Matt Hardy in a Money In The Bank Ladder Match&lt;/strong&gt;.  Now the MITB match is almost always the best match of the night it is always a high octane event.  Im looking forward to this match.  When it comes to MITB Shelton Benjamin never dissapoints he always steals the match somehow he is truly MR. MITB.  Its just to bad that the WWE doesnt like to push him.  Now when i look at possible winners 3 people come to mind.  One is Christian because out of everyone in this match he os the best wrestler and most deserving of winning.  Kofi Kingston is another person because the last few months they have been giving him a nice well deserved push, and finally Drew Mcyintire because they seem to be very high on him right now.  But when i annalyze all the options i feel the best pick is Christian and that is who i will go with as my pick.  &lt;strong&gt;WINNER: Christian&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio where if Rey Loses he must join the straight edge society&lt;/strong&gt;.  On paper this should be a good match maybe even match of the night.  But you have to take history into effect on this one.  Most of Rey's wrestlemania matches end rather quickly minus one or two of them.  Cm PPunk has only been in MITB matches.  So he hasnt really gotten over the wrestlemaia jitters.  But i hope history doenst play a factor and we get a good match.  Now when i look at which of these 2 guys could win it seems pretty obvious that they want to keep up this rivalry past wrestlemania and the best way to do that is to have Rey win so that is my pick.  &lt;strong&gt;WINNER: Rey Mysterio&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HHH vs. Sheamus&lt;/strong&gt;  This match is interesting for a few reasons.  One its the first match since wrestlemania 17 that had HHH wrestle in a match that wasnt for either the WWE OR Wolrd Heavyweight titles.  Now Sheamus has been given the biggest push in WWE history he got to win the WWE title within 3 months of starting in the WWE.  Alot of people say that he only got this push because he is HHH's work out partner maybe thats true maybe its not who knows.  I think Sheamus is pretty talented but not sure if he is ready for a high profile match this ealry in his career.  Which is why I think HHH will win this match.  &lt;strong&gt;WINNER: HHH&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Ted Dibiase jr&lt;/strong&gt;.  This match could and up being better than most people think.  All 3 of these guys are talented.  Orton in my opinion is one of the best wrestlers in the WWE right now.  At the same time Cody and Ted are deffinatlly the future of the buisness.  So this match is the whole the now vs. the future.  I still feel like Cody is gonna end up helping Orton win this match starting up Teds face run. &lt;strong&gt;WINNER: Randy Orton&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon in a No Holds Barred match&lt;/strong&gt;.  This match i am not looking forward to for many reasons.  One both of these men are over 50 years old.  Vince is over 60 years old.  Bret cant take any bumps because of a stroke he had back in 2003.  He cant get hit in the head ebcause of the storke.  So that means that this  match is pretty much gonna be Bret beating the shit out of Vince.  &lt;strong&gt;WINNER: Bret Hart&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shawn Michales vs. The Undertake The Streak vs. The Career&lt;/strong&gt;.  Now its not actualy being called "the" career but when you look back at wrestling no one has had a better career than Shawn Michaels.  This is the rematch to last years classic that was not only the match of the night, not only the math of the year, but perhaps the best match at a wrestlemania.  Maybe not Shawns best but deffinatlly in his top5 and it could have been The Undertakers best mania match.  Now when picking this match the safe pick is to not go against the streak.  But on the otherhand if anyone is gonna break the streak Shawn is the guy to do it.  However i am gonna stay with the safe pick ans say the streak goes to 18-0.  &lt;strong&gt;WINNER: The Undertaker&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John Cena vs. Batista for the WWE title&lt;/strong&gt;.  THis match was actually supposed to happen at last years mania but batista was hurt so they had to put it off for another time.  THis match is a rematch from their decent match at summerslam 2008.  In that match though batista accidentally broke John Cena's neck.  I feel like this match will not be as good as their match from summerslam for a few reasons.  One is Batista has seemed to be lazy latelly and doesnt really put his all into his matches anymore.  Also because of that Cena as good as he is cant carry batista to a good match.  Now when it comes to my pick im feeling Cena because i feel like they want to have a Cena Btista3 and the only way to do that is have Cena win this sunday.  &lt;strong&gt;WINNER: John Cena&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edge vs. Chris Jericho for the World Heavyweight title&lt;/strong&gt;.  This is the match that i am looking forward to the most.  I feel like this match is the favorite for match of the night.  Both of these men are perhaps the best in the company so haviing them wrestle each other is a good idea.  The back story has been great as well going into it.  Everything about this match just says classic and i hope thats what we get.  I feel like we will see Edge get his "revenge" on Jericho for moking him while he was hurt.  &lt;strong&gt;WINNER: Edge&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cant wait for this years Wrestlemania whether i get my picks right or not it doesnt matter to me jyst as long as the matches are good i will be happy.  If any of you have your own picks for mania feel free to leave them for me.  For those of you who watch i hope you enjoy because i know if its as good as I'm hoping I will enjoy this years WRESTLEMANIA.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-4287814092689285887?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/4287814092689285887/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=4287814092689285887' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/4287814092689285887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/4287814092689285887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2010/03/wrestlemania-26.html' title='Wrestlemania 26'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-671602498808113775</id><published>2010-03-05T11:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-05T12:13:17.862-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Oscars</title><content type='html'>Okay its once again oscar season and that meens time for me to make my now annual oscar picks.  This past year was a great year for movies oscar nominated and not oscar nominated just an overall good year.  Okay so like last time im going to be picking the big 5 thats best picture, best actor, best actress, best supposrting actor, best supposrting actrss.  Now usually i try to see most of the oscar nominated movies but i havnt done that yet so im going to have to go with what i have seen and from other award shows.  First we have best supporting actress, Okay so the nominees are Penolope cruz for nine, vera farminga for up in the air, monique for precious, maggie gylenhall for crazy heart, and anna kendrick for up in the air.  Now i havnt seen any of theese movies yet but have heard good things about all of them (especially up in the air) my pick for this category is gonna have to be monique just based on the way eveyone has been talking about her performance plus she won the golden globe and the sag for best supporting actress which usually means oscar so she is going to be my pick, my backup pick is gonna be vera farminga for up in the air everyone says she is the surprise pick for the oscar and i think they could be right so she is my backup pick.  Next is best supporting actor the niminees are matt damon for invictus, stanley tucci for the lovely bones, woody harralson for the messanger, christopher waltz inglorious basterds, and christopher plummer for the last station.  with these the only movie i have sen is inglorious basterds which was a good movie and christopher waltz is my pick to win the oscar.  he was great in that movie and deserves all the awards he has won so far (golden globe and a sag) so i deffinatlly think he is going to win the oscar this year.  my back up pick for this category is going to be matt damon ive heard that this is his best performance ina  movie since the departed and he was ridiculous in the departed so he is my back up pick.  Next is best actress the nominees are sandra bullock for the blind side, hellen mirran the last station, meryl streep for julie and julia, carey mulligan for an education, and gabourey sidibe for precious.  My pick for this one while it was difficult for me to make is gonna be sandra bullock for the blind side.  Everyone who talks about this says that the blind side is sandra bullocks erin brackavich(that was the movie that got julie roberts her fisrt oscar and really made her an established actress) plus with all the awards she has won she is definatlly my pick.  My backup is gabourney sidibe for precious from what ive hearsd when you watch her in this movie there is  100% chance you will cry afterwards so thats pretty powerful and is why she is my backup pick. next is best actor the nominees are jeff bridges for crazy heart, george clooney for up in the air, morgan freeman for invictus, colin firth for a single man, andjeremy renner for the hurt locker.  Out of all these movies i have only seen the hurt locker( great movie by the way) and i must admit jeremy renner was great int hat movie and deffinatlly deserves all the praise he has been getting from it but i dont think eh will win my pick is jeff bridges for crazy heart.  he has won all the awards for his performance in it already so why not round it out with the oscar.  my backup pick is still not jeremy renner even though he was great it is george clooney from what ive heard about clooney from up in the air is that he was destined to win the oscar until crazy heart came out in theaters earlier than expected so that is the main reason he is my back up pick.  Finally the big one the reason people stay up late to see which movie will win best picture.  This year for some reason there are 10 movies nominated isntead of the usual 5 i have no idea why but that is what they are doing the nominees are Avatar, The hurt locker, Inglorious basterd, UP, up in the air, a seious man, precious, district9, the blind side, and an education.  Now ive only seen two of the 10 nominated movies being the hurt locker and inglorious basterd (both great movies highly recomended the hurt locker was a little beter) now im probablly one of about 100 people left in the country who havnt seen avatar but i havnt yet and still despretlly want to.  My pick for best icture is Avatar from what ive heard it really was the best movie of 2009 and it also won all the awards so far.  My backup pick is the hurt locker that movie was so good and so intense that it kept you on the edge of your seat the whole time you were watching the movie it was great the acting the directing everything about the movie was great just from what ive heard avatar is a little better which is why avatar is my number one pick with the hut locker being my backup.  WEll i hope i do as good if not better than last year as last year i got 4.5 out of 5 right pretty good this year im hopin for 5 out of 5 but you never no there is always a surpise winner at the oscars.  All i no is they should be great and i cant wait for this sunday. alek baldiwin and steve martin will be hosting this years event(i wonder if they realize that this isnt saturday night live theyre the 2 people who have hosted that more than anyone incase peopel dont get my little joke) they should be funny and it should be a grea night i might go see one of the movies this weekend before the oscars themselves well see but to those of you who watch i hope you enjoy and if you have picks of your own leave them for me in the comment section and ill tell you how wrong you are if you disagree with one of my picks just kidding.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-671602498808113775?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/671602498808113775/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=671602498808113775' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/671602498808113775'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/671602498808113775'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2010/03/oscars.html' title='Oscars'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-1295468884510417758</id><published>2010-02-09T17:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-09T17:23:02.025-08:00</updated><title type='text'>SuperBowl over Wrestlemania coming</title><content type='html'>Okay so the super is now over after a good game between the colts and the saints where the saints won 31-17.  I'm happy for the saints, it seemed like every person who wasnt a colts fan was rooting for the saints whether they were a fan of theirs or not.  They were the feel good story of the year.  But now that the superbowl and football is over :( i will now be focusing my attention on how things work out till wrestlemania.  There are many different options i see possible playing out.  I still feel that orton and dibiase will deffinatlly be facing each other at mania, along with cena and batista.  Edge will be main eventing the whole thing but against who?  I currentlly think it will be chris jericho but we'll have to wait and see.  I have no idea what there gonna do with the shawn michaels angle, that one could go in any direction right now, maybe he faces triple h maybe he faces the undertaker maybe he is in the money in the bank and wins and cashes it in against the undertaker.(I dont think the last one will happen, but you never know) Also i dont know what they are gonna do with the undertaker or triple h will one of them face shawn michaels and if so what will the other one do.  Man things are heating up in the wwe and its starting to get interesting, like i said before this area between the royal rumble and wrestlemania is like the wwe's playoffs and i like how things really get heated up.  I feel like after the elimination chamber pay per view in 2 weeks it will be much more clear where all the story lines will be headed but until then i will have to watch and guess.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-1295468884510417758?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/1295468884510417758/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=1295468884510417758' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/1295468884510417758'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/1295468884510417758'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2010/02/superbowl-over-wrestlemania-coming.html' title='SuperBowl over Wrestlemania coming'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-6079163994789901587</id><published>2010-02-03T17:42:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-03T18:00:44.720-08:00</updated><title type='text'>SuperBowl</title><content type='html'>Okay we are now just a mear 4 days away from super bowl 44, and i couldn't be more excited.  We have the New Orleans saints being led by drew brees to face off against the Indianapolis Colts led by peyton manning.  You have your $35million commercials, your pizza places making millions apon millions of dollars, dont even get me started on how the liquior stores will be on saturday night and sunday.  Okay now lets take a look at the game.  Going into the playoffs the saints ended the season 13-3 after having lost there last 3 games of the season.  But when the playoffs started you couldnt even tell that they had lost there last 3 they came in like a well oiled machine.  Although when it came to their NFC championship game against the vikings they came close to losing it, but thanks to the vikings for making a very stupid to many men in the huddle penalty causing bret favre to throw the football, which turned out to be an interception.  the game went to over time where the saint emerged victorious. THen there is the colts who ended the season 14-2 having lost there last 2 games of the season sparking alot of controversie within there first loss.  Half way threw the game and a perfect 14-0 season they decided to take out their starters while only having a 3 point lead.  this caused them to lose the game and made critics talk for a very long time hell their probablly still talking about it.  But once the playoffs started so did the colts emerging victoious in both of their playoff games and neither one being all that close to begin with.  Now lets look at each teams star player it just so happens that both teams star players are their qb's.  The saints like i said are led by drew brees who in his 2 playoff games this year has thrown for 444 yards and 6 touchdowns with 0 interception.  those are some very good numbers for a qaurterback to have.  Then theres the colts who are led by peyton manning.  Manning is coming into the playoffs with 623 passing yards with 5 touchdowns and 1 interception.  Those are also very good numbers.  Heres th big thing though experience has to go to the colts seeing as how they have won the big one once before.  The saints are going into their first super bowl in franchise history.  Also history is on the side of the colts lets look back shale we.  Last year the steelers won the super bowl, the first time the colts won the super bowl the year before they won it the steelers won.  The first time peyton manning won a super bowl it was in miami in the rain, this years super bowl is in miami and last i heard there is a good chance of rain that day.  Aslo when they won it the last time in the afc championship game they made a second half comeback agisnt the new england patriots, this year they made as econd half comeback aginst the new york jets another afc east team.  So history is on the side of the colts, but sometimes history doesnt mean anything.  If the colts fall behind in this game bye 14 or more points there is no way they make a comeback the saints offence is just too good.  Personally i will be ruting for the saints since they have never won a super bowl before i would like to see them do it.  I fell like they will have the advantage of the crowd because miami is closer to new orleans than it is to indy and being their first super bowl ever i expect there to be a lot of saints fans at this game.  It is hard to compete agaisnt saints fans when you are the other team thay just have some edge.  All i know is it has the potential to be a very good game and i expect it to be very high scoring.  I feel however i will be rooting for the saint something is telling me manning gets ring number 2 in a hrad fought battle with the final score being 45-41 colts.  I hoe all of you who watch enjoy the super bowl as i know i will(unless the game totally sucks), and lets not forget that the who is performing at halftime.  I dont think they will be as good as springsteen was last year but i am looking forward to seeing them and who knows maybe theyll have a half time smashing their stuff.  But anyway i hope people enjoy the superbowl especially if anyone is going to any parties like i am those are alwys fun, but should be a good game so enjoy it people.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-6079163994789901587?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/6079163994789901587/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=6079163994789901587' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/6079163994789901587'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/6079163994789901587'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2010/02/superbowl.html' title='SuperBowl'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-4451338954919853504</id><published>2010-02-02T16:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-02T16:20:16.387-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Wrestling</title><content type='html'>Okay i just finished what i would consider a dream day after watching about 4 hours of wrestling.  It started with me finally watching the royal rumble 9i know a little late but better late than never).  Overall with exception of the divas match i felt that the royal rumble was a very good pay per view.  After Wrestlemania the royal rumble could be my favorite pay per view, either that or summerslam.  The show started off with a pretty good ecw title match between christian and ezekial jackson.  I have to say that match was much better than i had expected it to be, usually jackson has some bad matches but something about captain charisma made him have a good match.  Next was a match for the us title between the miz and mvp.  I really hoe this match wasnt the last we see of these two against each other, they had been building a very good rivalry going into this match and i would love to see that continue.  Then i was a little surprised to see the wwe title match next but i was not dissapointed with it.  I expected a good match between these two mostly because orton is currentlly one of the best and sheamus if given the right oponent isnt all that bad and is only improving.  They had the divas match next which was a major disapointment and really didnt need ot be there.  The world title match between mysterio and the undertaker was perhaps the match of the night that wasnt the royal rumble match.  The rumble match itself was a good one like it usually is and had some surprises.  The biggest surprise was the see beth phoenix enter in th rumble and have her eliminate someone.  I was actually ok with that as she is one of the only divas who can have a good match.  I was really glad to see edge come back as he could possible be my favorite wrestler right now not named shawn michaels.  Then i watched raw which wasnt all that bad.  I was glad to see them get the participant for the elimination chamber match quick instead of dragging the qualifing matches on like they usually do. THe angle with bret hart and vince is startingto look good but i feel like batistas interference in last night showdown was unneeded.  I was really glad to see kofi kingston qualify for the elimination chamber, because adding him to a match only makes it better.  cant wait to se what hapens this friday on smackdown with their elimination chamber.  This is the best time for wrestling fans because the time between the rumble and wrestlemania is like wwe's version of the playoffs.  So thats my post for today check back tomorrow as i plan on analyzing and making a pick for this sundays super bowl.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-4451338954919853504?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/4451338954919853504/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=4451338954919853504' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/4451338954919853504'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/4451338954919853504'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2010/02/wrestling.html' title='Wrestling'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-7577039290976062145</id><published>2010-02-01T12:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-01T12:13:10.505-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Very Long Time</title><content type='html'>Wow i can't beleive how long it's been since my last post over the summer.  So many things have happened since then.  There have been massive amounts of celebrity deaths :(, I have officially started college at CCRI, the super bowl is almost among us, the golden globes went bye( i should have made prediction i probablly will for the oscars though), the grammys were last night, and im sure there is more that i cant think of.  I am now going to try to post things more frequentlly.  Today on my mind is sports (big surprise).  One of the big things in my opinion in sports this weekend was dion phaneuf of the calgery flames was traded to the toronto maple leafs and also was jean sebastion jiguere.  For those who dont know phaneuf is a defensman and jiguaere (im not really sure how to spell his last name) is one of the leagues top goalies.  In my mind i feel like this could help elevate toronto from one of the worst eams in the east right now to being a possible playoff contender.  Now i don't think they will make the playoffs this year but i feel maybe next year they could be lookin at the playoffs for the first time in a while.  This was a good move for toronto as both players will help out phil kessel in making this team good.  The other big thing in sports this weekend is not the probowl but instead the oklahoma city thunder.  As some may not know the thunder are and NBA team (my favorite) and there star player kevin durant was able to drop 45 points last night against the golden state warriors.  Man is durant ever impressive, this is only his third season in the nba and i for one feel he should be this years league mvp.  He is now second in the league in ppg after passing lebron(last years mvp).  Idk maybe im wrong in thinking that but in my mind he should be this years mvp, all i know is as long as they make the playoffs (currently 9th seed) i will be happy with that.  So thats it for now got some stuf off my chest and i hope to be back with before the super bowl and give people my take on that a little later in the week.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-7577039290976062145?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/7577039290976062145/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=7577039290976062145' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/7577039290976062145'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/7577039290976062145'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2010/02/very-long-time.html' title='Very Long Time'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-5796839641923452438</id><published>2009-06-23T10:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-23T10:31:50.265-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Long Time</title><content type='html'>It's been a long time since i have blogged and i appologize to all of my 1 person who reads this.  I can't beleive i took this long because a lot of things have happened in the world since my last post.  First there was the N.F.L draft where my 49ers drafted mike crabtree wr from texas tech.  Then there was the death of that kung fu star and still no one is really sure if it was suicide or what last i heard they thought it was murder.  Then the Pittsburgh Penguins win the stanley cup in a very good 7 game series with the Red Wings.  The lakers won the N.B.A champinship in a 5 game series with the Magic.  also i just heard today that Ed McMahon died.  A lot has happened since my last post which was a bout wrestlemania and in the wrestling world Vince Mcmhaon has cut like almost every wrestler he has it seems.  Then there was the story line were he "sold" monday night raw to Donald Trump and Trump decided to make last nights raw commercial free first time in 17 years.  So i let time pass me by and i didnt mean to do that so hopefully i will post sometime soon. I also forgot one of the most important things that has happened since my lat post i have graudted from Tolman High School in pawtucket Rhode Island.  So hopefully my next one will come sooner than this one did.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-5796839641923452438?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/5796839641923452438/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=5796839641923452438' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/5796839641923452438'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/5796839641923452438'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2009/06/long-time.html' title='Long Time'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-8002233131604979688</id><published>2009-04-09T12:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-09T13:38:35.338-07:00</updated><title type='text'>WrestleMania 25 results</title><content type='html'>Ok sorry this is later than i said it would be (even though i bet still no one cares) but here are the results along with my oppinion of the matches for WrestleMania.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Carlito and Primo Colon defeated Miz and Morrison&lt;/strong&gt; This match was not actually on WrestleMania it was a pre show match for the people in Houston so i cant rate it or tell you about it because i didnt see it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;C.M Punk defeated Mark Henry, Finlay, Christian, Kofi Kingston, MVP, Kane, and Shelton Benjamin in the Money In The Bank ladder match&lt;/strong&gt; Match starts with the ring being cleared exceot for the two big guys Mark Henry and Kane and they slugg it out for a couple seconds.  Then it seems like everyone jumped over the top rope onto the other competitors, only to be finished with Shelton Benjamin doing a swanton off the top of like a 15-20 foot ladder.  Then back in the ring finlay sets up a ladder only to have Kofi Kingston jumo through it and kick Finlay in the face.  Shelton does a good powerbomb to MVP over the top rope onto Mark Henry.  Then Christian gets choked slammed off of the top of a ladder by Kane who then gets kicked by C.M Punk off of the ladder and we have our first back to back winner.  Good match with lots of action and a good way to start the show. &lt;strong&gt; MATCH RATING: 8&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Santina Marella wins 25 diva battle royal&lt;/strong&gt; Match started after an overly long Kid Rock performance.  There was no entrance so you didnt really know who was in the match.  It didnt really go all that well after that either.  The match went really fast and then its santino marella (santina) winning the battle royal. &lt;strong&gt; MATCH RATING: 4&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chris Jericho defeated Rowdy Roddy Piper Jimmy Snuka and Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat&lt;/strong&gt; Match started off slow with Jericho facing the 185 year old Jimmy Snuka who was quickly eliminated afeter taping out to the walls of jericho.  Then it was Piper and Jericho and piper got beaten quickly.  Wich left it down to Jericho and Steamboat who was actually very good in this match.  Steamboat helped make this match watchable.  After the match Jericho called in Mickey Rourke and Rourke punched Jericho in the face and knocked him out of the ring.  Overall it was pretty decent a match thanks to Steamboat.  &lt;strong&gt;MATCH RATING: 7&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Matt Hardy defeated Jeff Hardy in an extreme rules match&lt;/strong&gt; Match started off pretty good with jeff beating down Matt in the beginning.  Then later on in the match Jeff splashes Matt through two tables.  Then Jeff sets up two ladders in the ring and leap frogs over one of them off of the other and mises a leg drop onto Matt.  This set up Matts twist of fate while Jeffs head was in a chair.  Decent match that served its point wouldnt have been as good if it was a regular match.  &lt;strong&gt;MATCH RATING: 7.5&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rey Mesterio defeated JBL for the intercontinental title&lt;/strong&gt; This match was deffinatlly pointless JBL trash talks Rey about how this was going to be the most dominant victory in wrestlemania history, then hits rey with a boot to the face.  After that the bell rings Rey hits JBL with a kick and then a 619 and wins the match in 21 seconds.  Just plain dumb instead of this they could have extend a match like the divas battle royal and maybe made that better.  &lt;strong&gt;MATCH RATING 3&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Undertaker defeated Shawn Michaels&lt;/strong&gt; Match started off really good and just continued that way through out.  Match starts with HBK hiting and running.  Then about half way through the match rolls to the outside.  Shawn goes up top for a moonsault and the undertaker swats him away.  The Undertaker then goes into the ring and does his over the top rope move he always does at wrestlemania and at this point shawn pulls a camera man in the way and the undertaker crashes into him.  Then there were tons of false finishes including a chokeslam a last ride powerbomb a tombstone and two superkicks.  Then after over a half hour of wrestling between two of the oldest guys in the company Shawn goes for a moonsault but is caught by the undertaker and is tombstoned and the Undertaker inproves to 17-0.  &lt;strong&gt;MATCH RATING 10&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John Cena defeated Big Show and Edge for the world heavey weight title&lt;/strong&gt;  Match started off with the big show getting the upper hand to begin with but it eventually turned into all equal.  Match has a good spot were edge spears the big show after jumping off of the ring steps and sent the big show through the baracede.  Then John Cena shows soem verry impressive strength when he lifts the big show and edge together which is over 700lbs!  Then he slammed the big show then slams edge and pins the bigh show for the win.  &lt;strong&gt;MATCH RATING 8&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HHH defeated Randy Orton to retain the wwe title&lt;/strong&gt;  Match started off very back and forth.  Then Randy Orton starts to get the better of hhh for like 5 to 10 minutes.  Eventually HHH fights back but not before getting hit with an rko and kicked out ofter a 2.99 count ( as the wrestling reporters say).  Then HHH hits the pedigree for the 1, 2, 3 and gets his first wrestlemania win in 6 years.  &lt;strong&gt;MATCH RATING 8.5&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Overall I gave this years wrestlemania a 56/80 which is a 70.  no t a bad grade but for the 25th anniversary of wrestlmania it could have been much better.  I still think it was good mastly for the Undertaker Shawn Michaels match and the two title matches.  So that was WrestleMania next is Backlash from my home state of rhode island providence rhode island to be exact.  Maybe ill make predictions for that pay per view to make up for my horrible wrestlemania picks.  Maybe not we will have to see how it looks but i'll be back some time soon.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-8002233131604979688?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/8002233131604979688/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=8002233131604979688' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/8002233131604979688'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/8002233131604979688'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2009/04/wrestlemania-25-results.html' title='WrestleMania 25 results'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-3771122842722188605</id><published>2009-04-03T15:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-03T16:33:57.039-07:00</updated><title type='text'>WrestleMania 25</title><content type='html'>This sunday as many of you probablly don't know (or care) is WrestleMania 25.  I am very much looking forward to WrestleMania this year.  Not quite as much as last year but last year i was in attendance wich made it special.  Ok here are my pics for this years WrestlMania.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Christian vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Mark Henry vs. Kane vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. MVP vs. Finlay vs. C.M Punk&lt;/strong&gt;.  I think this match won't be any where near as good as the previous four but it looks like it could have its moments.  I feel booking Mark Henry for this match was a bad idea because he is like 350 lbs. and looks like 500.  But he could surprise me and be a good fit with his power.  I like having Kofi Kingston in the match because he adds that High flying aspect to it.  Then theres Shelton Benjamin the guy who is always the MVP of the match.  Every year he is in it and every year he is the best.  However i feel Christian should win this match but since Vince McMahon isn't the biggetst fan of his i don't think he will win.  WINNER: MVP. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JBL vs. Rey Mysterio for the intercontinental title&lt;/strong&gt;.  This match seems like it will be pretty good.  Mysterio is that high flyer while JBL is the ground and puond kind of guy.  Seing as how its in Houston and JBL is from Houston  im thinking Rey won't win.  Especially since JBL says he wants to do something never before seen and there are rumors going around that he will retire, and no one has ever retired in there home state as intercontinental champion.  WINNER: JBL. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John Morrison and the Miz vs. Carlito and Primo Colon for both the world and wwe tag team titles&lt;/strong&gt;.  I'm not going to lie i havnt been following this story line too much beacause it hasn't really been on t.v all that much.  All I know is that Miz and Morrison have been hyped as the favorites in this match so it seems like the best way to go.  WINNERS: Miz and Morrison. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;25 DIva Battle Royal to crown Miss WrestleMania&lt;/strong&gt;.  This match is supposed to include all the current divas(20) and past divas.  This seems to be and obvious pick (if your a fan).  WINNER: Trish Stratus. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chris Jericho vs. Rowdey Roddy Piper, Jimmy Snuka,and Rick the Dragon Steamboat.&lt;/strong&gt;  This match seems like it will be no good.  As good as Chris Jericho is at carrying a match theres no way he could carry this one.  The only Legend who will give him any help is Steamboat.  Of course the other two have the hugest guts ive ever seen and Snuka is like 85 and Piper has had bith his hips replaced.  Ric Flair is going to be in there corner so he will get involved somehow.  Also the original planed opponint for Chris Jericho Micky Rourke will be in attendance and he will get involved somehow.  I also wouldn't be surprised to see Stone Cold Steve Austin get involved somehow since he will be there because he is getting inducted into the Hall Of Fame this year.  WINNERS: Legends.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker.&lt;/strong&gt;  This match is the one I'm lookin forward to the most .  Both men are synonimous with WrestleMania.  The Undertaker is Undefeated and Shawn Michaels is known as Mr. WrestleMania sbecause he always has the best match whether win or lose.  The hype leading up to this match has been great.  They have really done a good job with there promos.  But i feel they have been letting Shawn get the better of The Undertaker a little too much to have him win.  WINNER: The Undertaker.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy in an Extreme Rules Match.  &lt;/strong&gt;  I feel making this an extreme rules match was a smart move seeing as Jeff is decent but Matt is not, and theres no way Jeff could Carry Mat through a good match without some stipulation.  I expect this match to be a brutal match with a lot of high spots.  I don't expect this match to be to long as if it is it could get old fast.  WINNER: Jeff Hardy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John Cena vs. Edge vs. Big Show for the World Heavy Weight title&lt;/strong&gt;.  This match has potential as lomg as they don't make it Big Show dominating the other two because he's 7'2" 500lbs. i don't think they will but if they do it will be a boring match.  In my persinal oppinion i feel taking the Big Show out of the match for most of it would be a good idea because Edge and Cena couls have a good match on there own.  In fact i feel the WWE is going to pick that rivalry back up after Mania.  WINNER Jogn Cena.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HHH vs. Randy Orton for the WWE title.&lt;/strong&gt;  This match has been another one of the well hyped matches.  Orton has gotten the better of HHH the past couple of weeks but I feel like this won't be the occasion where it will mean the person taking th ebeating will win.  Plus Orton has been pushed as that guy the fans just absolutlly can't stand, the guy people pay to see get the crap kicked out of him.  The only way to make that hatred stronger wich i feel WWE wants is to give Orton the title.  The only yhing is if Orton wins that means HHH hasn't won at WrestleMania in 5 years.  That would be the longetst drought ever for a main eventer I think, and I don't think Vince would do that to his son in-law, actually i do think he would do that.  WINNER Randy Orton.  &lt;br /&gt;So thats my pick for this years WrestleMania even though most of you don't care.  I'm sure you still don't care but if by some how your interseed in who wins and you didn't watch it I will be posting the winners with a preview of the match and my own ranking of the match on a 1-10 basis either Monday right after Mania but if i can't i will deffinatlly do it on Tuesday.  If by somehow you people watch it i hope you enjoy it because I'm guessin i will unless it really is just awful(but Mania usually isn't).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-3771122842722188605?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/3771122842722188605/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=3771122842722188605' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/3771122842722188605'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/3771122842722188605'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2009/04/wrestlemania-25.html' title='WrestleMania 25'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-2405578049217638677</id><published>2009-03-19T14:25:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-19T14:30:49.729-07:00</updated><title type='text'>NCAA Tournament</title><content type='html'>Today starts the NCAA tournament also known as March Madness. The games started today at noonish. Starting today people all over the country are fixing there brackets or relishing in the fact that they haven't gotten any wrong yet(like me :D). So far no real upsets but the tournament is still young so who knows what will happen. Any way I'm hopin my picks come through and if anyone wants to leave me a pick they think will win let me know even though I'm bettin most people who will read this wont know anything about the tournament other than the fact that it has started.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-2405578049217638677?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/2405578049217638677/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=2405578049217638677' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/2405578049217638677'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/2405578049217638677'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2009/03/ncaa-tournament_19.html' title='NCAA Tournament'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-7109172443122208573</id><published>2009-02-18T06:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-18T06:46:14.595-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Oscars</title><content type='html'>This sunday as many of you probablly know is the Oscars.  So i am making my pics along with backup pics for the big 5(best picture,best actor,best actress,best supporting actor,best supporting actress).  Alright I'll start with best supporting actress: My pic to win is Penelope Cruz for Vicky Christina Barcelona, now i havnt seen this movie so i don't exactly know how good she is in it but she has a lot of buzz, and my back up pic is Marisa Tomai for the wrestler, i have seen the wrestler (big shock i know) and she was very good in that movie and even though she has like absolutly no buzz she deserves to win and i think the academy will agree with me if Penelope Cruz doesn't win.  Next i will do best supporting actor: In my opinion this is the most obvious pic of them all it wil be Heath Ledger for Batman, I've seen the movie i love the movie he was phenominal in the movie and theres no way hes not going to win everyone knows he is going to win but if by some miracle he doesnt then i personally feel Robert Downey jr. should win for Tropic Thunder (funny as hell movie) because he was hilarious and was good too but unfortunatlly he will be overlooked and if by some miracle heath doesnt win it will go to Philip Seymore Hoffman for Doubt.  Next on my list is best actress: I think the winner for best actress will be Kate Winslett for the reader, I havnt seen this movie yet but ive heard it and she are both great, and if she doesnt win i think it will go to Meryl Strrep for doubt becasue she also is great in that movie ive heard again another movie i havnt seen.  Next up is best actor: I feel this is another obvious pic being the comeback story of Mickey Rourke (which is my pic) for the Wrestler he was awsome in that movie it was a great movie and deserves to win the oscar for it, he played that washed up has been wrestler so well the guy just tryin to make it big one more time, he was great in that movie, my backup pic is Sean Penn for Milk, i havnt seen this movie but after Mickey Rourke he is the nexyt best bet to win.  Finnaly my pic for best picture: I think Slumdog Millionare will win, again i havnt seen this movie but its been talked about as a great movie that has the most oscar hype to it, my back up pic is The Reader, i ahvnt seen this movie but it has been talke dabout alot as a good one that could win if Slumdog doesnt.  Those are my Oscar pics i ahvn't seen many of the oscar movies maybe i'l try to do that with my time off from school this week.  If any of you out there are going to see a movie that has an oscar nomination i strongly recomend the Wrestler there are some parts of nudity as Marisa Tomai plays a stripper but it realy captures what wrestlers go through and it makes you take a second look at that business(which i love very much) and there are some sad points that make you feel for him i dont want to give too much away but i think people should go see the Wreswtler.  If any one has seen any oscar movie s please let me know what you thought and if you think i should try to go see it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-7109172443122208573?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/7109172443122208573/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=7109172443122208573' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/7109172443122208573'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/7109172443122208573'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2009/02/oscars.html' title='Oscars'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-5249023477135348737</id><published>2009-02-08T13:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-08T13:41:02.227-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Pro Bowl</title><content type='html'>TOday in fact right now is the pro bowl.

Maybe you couldnt get tickets to the superbowl so you end up going to the pro bowl instead.. Thats not too bad go to hawaii and watch the best football players play in one final game.  Sure neither team is going to give it there all but its still entertaining.  It could be the fact that its one final game.

I am not currentlly going to any party's or having anyone over but i don't mind if people come over if anyone wants to.  About 100 million people watch the superbowl and why not.  It's got it all football, good music at halftime, and 3million dollar commercials that some people only watch the superbowl for.  Hey to each his own right?  If they want to watch the superbowl for commercials let them.

I find it odd that on just one particular night if you dont stay up untill midnight it's considered going to bed early.  I understand the concept of staying up till midnight its a big thing and its fun to do.  But why is it that if three days before new years eve you stay up till say 11:30 it's ok to say you had a late night but if you do it on new years eve you went to bed early. I dont really know what it is about this day but the line between late and early has moved back.  The other thing i dont get is the people who stay up till midnight to watch the ball drop and then go right to bed after that.  I feel if your gonna stay up till midnight why not go at least another half hour.  If you stayed up till midnight chances are your not working or going to school or anything the next morning so would it kill you to stay up at least an extra half hour.  I don't maybe i feel this way cuz on new years i stay up till like 2 but whatever.  This was kind of a rant about new years and i appologize for that but it's just peculiar about the time scenario thats all.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-7942611216894324198?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/7942611216894324198/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=7942611216894324198' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/7942611216894324198'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/7942611216894324198'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2008/12/new-years-eve.html' title='NEW YEARS  EVE'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-1096976864876626380</id><published>2008-12-18T17:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-18T17:34:38.605-08:00</updated><title type='text'>School Spirit</title><content type='html'>On my mind today is a little different but its about school spirit.  In my school there are three kinds of people there Theres people with school spirit, theres the people who say they have school spirit but really dont ,and then theres the people who dont have school spirit and makes fun of the people who do have school spirit.  For a whie i thought i was in the second group but then i became a senoir and i dont know why but my mentality on school spirit changed.  I wrote the letters 09 on my face for our pep rally wrote my freinds last name on my forehead and let my friend outline my facial hair which im still not sure why i did.  Then at the thanksgiving game i painted my chest as an A.  Then at the super bowl game (ehich was like the coldest day ever) I did it again. So for some reason once you hit senoir year something in you changes. I dont know what it is but its there and it changes.  I mean for all four years at the pep rally you like too shout your graduating class like 09 and for three years at the pep rally you like to shout freshmen suck(which is kinda true sometimes) but people never realy get into spirit week.  Then your senoir year comes and that changes and i dont know what maid me think about this today (could have ben Jess's comment on my myspace picture which i still dont understand) but I just thought I would show how people change for the better when they become senoirs kind of a reason to stay for all four years and graduate.  Im sorry that this was kind of a rant but thats just the way I was thinking of it today.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-1096976864876626380?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/1096976864876626380/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=1096976864876626380' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/1096976864876626380'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/1096976864876626380'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2008/12/school-spirit.html' title='School Spirit'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-7280718846716090859</id><published>2008-12-13T15:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-13T15:38:09.829-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Heisman</title><content type='html'>Tonight is the night that the Heisman winner is named. There are 3 nominees. They are, Sam Bradford Quarterback from Oklahoma, Tim Tebow Quarterback from Florida, and Colt McCoy Quarterback from Texas.  Sam Bradford's stats are like this 53 total touchdowns (48 passing,5 rushing), he had 4,464 passing yards, 65 rushing yard, a 68.3 completion percentage ,and only 6 interceptions.  Then theres Tim Tebow he won the heisman last year.  His stats are like this, he has 40 total touchdowns(28 passing and 12 rushing), he had 2,515 yards, 564 rushing yards, a 64.9 completion percentage, and 2 interceptions.  Finally theres Colt McCoy.  His stats are like this, he had 42 total touchdowns(32passing and 10 rushing), he has 3,445 passing yards, 576 rushing yards, a 77.6 completion percentage ,and 7 interceptions.

I like movies very much and this post is about one movie imparticular that i feel everyone should watch.  That movie is Batman The Dark Knight. That movie was the best Batman movie yet and Heath Ledger was a beast in that movie.(although so was everybody else) It was just one of those movies that you want to watch again and again, and if you havnt seen it yet i recommend that once ots out on D.V.D you netflix it or go to blockbuster and rent it or maybe even just buy it.  You'll be glad that you saw this movie.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-8567658537622790039?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/feeds/8567658537622790039/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4915927823178425968&amp;postID=8567658537622790039' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/8567658537622790039'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4915927823178425968/posts/default/8567658537622790039'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kapppow.blogspot.com/2008/12/movies.html' title='Movies'/><author><name>nick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04942650879653493464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gbFJqXz6E4/TWf3Q22vxJI/AAAAAAAAABk/WBrYO__Aqt8/s220/077.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915927823178425968.post-4164544716624087467</id><published>2008-11-28T16:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-28T16:17:33.325-08:00</updated><title type='text'>todays thought</title><content type='html'>Todays thought's are about the Boston Bruins.  I'm not really a Bruins fan i don"t mind tem but I'm happy that there doin as good as they are.  They are currentlly in first place in the east and show a lot of promise if they continue this way.  I know it's still early in the season but I just thought i would point that out that the Bruins who are really never expected to do very good are doin quit well right now and I hope they keep that up.

type='text'>Music</title><content type='html'>alright i figured i would write about music today because thats whats on my mind.  even though it is sunday during football season im still gonna blog about music today.  ive noticed that new music is really crappy and the music thats actually new and good you can never really find on the radio or at least i cant.  there are just a select few of bands out there who actually play good music.  unlike bake in the 80's(just guessin there i wasnt alive yet) and 90's were there was a lot of good music and it was played alot (sometimes too much).  but now theres nothing good really sure theres somestuff here and there like the foo fighters nickleback and even someother stuff but it just seems like music has started to go down hill.  and the people who are fans of this music are very defensive about it.  like i know some people who when i tell them that musiclly the drummer and guitarists are way better from like the 60-80's they get defensive and are like yea for now but its evolving and there will better muscicians coming around.  if its evolving theve had like 8 years at least to be better you would think after 8 years something better would come up but i guess there all to busy being divas and thinking there gods gift to earth when they have like 100 fans total.  seriouslly these bands play in the tiniest venues and the fans of these bands say its because they dont think there fans would go to any big place to see them but i think its just because there not good enough to play in these places and they dont have enough fans to be in these places.  one of the smallest arenas i know of mohegan sun in conneticut seats im gonna say at most 5000 people and theres no way these bands could draw 5000 people they would be lucky to draw 1000 people but there fans are attamit about them and that they could easilly draw that many fans.  whatever im happy that there loyal to there bands and arnt being posers but they could just be really dedicated posers but i just kinda wish these bands would be better about what they play and hurry up and evolve into better muscicians because i want to hear what the guitarist whos gonna be better than eddie van halen or eric clapton or jiimi hendrix or jimmy page or joe perry and al the other ones sound like because if there better than all of them then damn there good&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4915927823178425968-2568173136849491656?l=kapppow.blogspot.com' alt=''
