Royal Rumble '13 was four matches of awesomeness
The 2013 Royal Rumble was simply amazing with only 4 matches and every single one of them was awesome on their own and would of been the match of the night on must of the other pay-per-view
The event opened up with the Smackdown title between Big Show Vs Alberto Del Rio and it started in the back with Del Rio walking to the enterance and Rodriguez looked over and saw Bret Hart and pointed and the camera panned over to see Hart. Hart gave Del Rio a pep talk and then as Del Rio waited to go to the ring Rodriguez said to Hart he was his favorite wrestler and Hart gave him his glasses while Del Rio was like we need to go to the ring.
During the match they used everything from chairs to stairs to light bulbs of the lights at the top of the ramp and even a fire extinguisher that lead to Del Rio to retain his title as he used it and after getting hit with it Big Show rolled into the ring and he then throw Del Rio out of the ring. There Del Rio was up against the bareacade and and Show went to spear him and he moved and big show went through it and when the match got back into the ring Del Rio ended up with an arm bare and show feet on the ropes and Rodriguez taped his feet so he did not get up.
Then Ziggler was interviewed in the back by Striker and he asked a question and A.J. mentioned that Ziggy was not stared of anyone and then said how fast can u run in 5 seconds and that was it for him. Big E then became interviewer and asked when u win the royal rumble whats next and Ziggy said that he would win the title and then cash in the briefcase and become the first undisputed camp.
Then it was the tag match and it was a surprise that Hell No beat Roades Scholars to keep the titles and it happened when Kane was in trouble in his corner and Bryant tagged in without the others knowing and he hit Damion from the top rope and then put the no lock on for the victory.
The Royal Rumble match started with Ziggy and the first surprise of the night Y2J and both lasted over 45 minutes and then the next big surprise was Golddust who just fought with his brother Cody Roades and lasted a long time before being eliminated by his brother. Rey was back and tried hard but just did not have and Godfather was in the match and was the quietest elimination while Reyback eliminated 5 wrestlers and was the last entry and was in the final 4 with Ziggy, Cena, and Shamus which ended with Reyback and Cena and Cena went on to win.
The longest time was over 50 minutes for Ziggy and the crazy spots were Kofi eliminating Tenzi and then Ziggy throw him out and he jumped on Tenzi's back and landed on the announce table and then got JBL's chair and hopped it back to ringside and got on the apron but was kicked off. Also Bryant after eliminating Kane was thrown out but Kane caught him and begged him to put him the appon and he dropped him on it and he fell to the floor.
The main event was Punk and Rock and it was a match of spots and the Spanish announce table with the table setup and down and number of times and when it was used Rock tried to do the Rock bottom put the table gave out and they landed awkwardly on the table. Also they were playing up Punk's knee as he was playing that it was hurting again as he kicked Rock out of the ring and hurt himself. The match ended with the lights going out and when they came back on Rock was out cold and Punk pinned him for the win except that Vince came out and wanted to say that shield had helped him even though they were not actually seen but Rock wanted to win it and asked for the match to restarted insteads and then won the title.
Rock and Cena Wrestlemania again

Loblaws ready for opening of Walmart @ Gerrard Square
Loblaws @ lake shore has been a step ahead of Walmart @ Gerrard square by already being open for 24-hours a day while Walmart is still working on getting a fire exit becoming their main entrance so they could open 24-hours a day.
Also Loblaws was able to not renew lease for the Bulk Burn and dollar store at the end of 2012 so they could reopen the areas as apart of Loblaws and put in their clothing lines that run at the bigger Loblaws along with toys, and supplies. While Walmart who bought the smaller Zellers from Target has tried to muscle the neighboring businesses to enlarge their space so that they could be able to put a grocery store in it but right now they are still not able to push out them yet.
Finally Loblaws has been marking their prices down across the board to match the Walmart prices heading into the grand opening weekend of January 25-27, 2012 and have super employees making sure that there is enough bins and carts at their entrances at all times. While there is consent customers and enough cashiers working on the floor to keep the lines moving and not having to have them wait.
Loblaws looks to be very strong mind and looking to stay ahead of the devil a.k.a. Walmart and have also charged the hours at their Woodbine Valu-mart site to not try to lose a lot of their customers.
I hope Loblaws keeps a step ahead of the devil

Stormin' Norman left in the dark by the fan
Sotmin' Norman Rumack has been taken off the Fan 590 airways again and this time the Fan are not talking about what is going on except wait for CBS radio @ 2AM. The website has not fixed their website (Fan590.ca) as it simply just says that from midnight til 5:30 AM is under the overnight umbrella that just says a recap of the days sports action.
For his part Norman AKA the late night vampire is getting a lot of questions from his listeners and all he has been saying is thanks for your concerns and please forward your wishes to Don Collins who is the program at the fan because he says he will be back on air but does not know when.
The move on the Fan 590 part looks like they are not scared of TSN Radio who in almost two years has not come close to indenting the Fan's ratings and they have gone up from where they were before TSN radio took to the air in March of 2011. So they has gone on the cheap by putting CBS radio which cheaper than having someone in Toronto soing a live local program.
Then there is the surprise of all which is that the fan has been so quiet about the move that there are no press release not even the Toronto Sport Media blog that reports on everything the two station so if someone sneezes that is where U would read about it and they have nothing on the topic.
So the fan is keeping the Vampire under contract because they do not want him going to TSN and biting them in the butt just like Andrew Krystal

Jays success spelled goodbye for Burke
Jays under Alex Anthopoulos have done a lot by being very very quiet and when u here a rumor about the jays making a trade it just does not happen. So when he out of the blue signs Melky Cabrera to a two year deal or makes the quietest 12 player trade probably in the history of sports and then at the last second steps in to trade for R.A. Dickey.
So then when u look at Brian Burke reign as Leafs GM it is the yapping dog that just yaps and yaps but in the end nothing happens. It started with a big bang trading for Phil Kessel and it has been a solid player for the most part but it all went down hill first it was a first line centre and lets say that they are still looking for one. Then there is the whole Tomas Kaberle thing where he talked about how teams were burning up his phones and he was so confidence that he signed Michael Komisarek as a free agent to replace his 4.5 cap hit and then the Kaberle thing continued through another off season and then he was finally traded to Boston at which time Kaberle told him to stop talking about him in the media. The ultimate thing was his talk through the end of 2009 that in the 2010 off season the Leafs have a lot of money for free agency and then at the end of January of 2010 Leafs fans woke up and found Dion Phaneuf in a leaf jersey and practically no cap space for the offseason which has not been a good use of so much cap space. Then there is the whole No. 1 goalie situation as nobody has stepped up and become that no. 1 goalie backstopping the Leafs to the playoffs while Bryan Murray went out for the Ottawa Senator traded first for Craig Anderson and gave up Brain Elliot who ended up failing in Colorado and then turned into an all-star in St. Louis and J.S. Giguère turned into a solid back-up in Colorado the next year after being the Leafs goalie and not get the job done. Then Murray when Anderson cut his finger at home and could not play he immediately traded with St. Louis for another goalie Ben Bishop to fold the fort and help the sens make the playoffs and wait for Anderson to get healthy.
Then there was all his yapping about not making deals much earlier before the christmas break which is cool but then yapping about nobody wanting to trade with him but if he looking always for Chris pronger for handful of chicken feed as the only trade he wanted to make. He also felt like he should move up his trade deadline because the prices for players at the real trade deadline or not wanting to dive into the free agency pool because the free agent prices were too high for his liken.
In the end not getting Bobby Lou from the Canucks to be the solid regular season goalie and put the Leafs into position to make the playoffs and he decided hat he did not want to give up the teams prospects which is stupid because the T.O. market is not for prospects as the media and fans build payers and then they get good it all comes crumbing down and they are sent out of town prematurely like Luke Schenn.
If he did not talk so much and quietly made some trades that were franchise building then Burke would still be the Leafs GM

Indy took the Colts but were unable to take Lewis
30 years after Indy stole the Colts from the City of Baltimore in the middle of the night and today they tried to retire Baltimore (Raven) linebacker Ray Lewis but in the end Baltimore was wake when they tried to retire Lewis and were unsuccessful.
Baltimore took a 24-9 victory over the Colts of Indy with the Antwan Boldin making a 18 yard leaping catch in the back of the end zone to put up the Ravens by two scores and the Colts who put up a total of 419 yards of offence. They were unable to finish off drives as they had a first quarter fumble from Andrew Luck who lost the ball on a sack which ended a 14-play, 59-yard drive which had put them into field goal position before the sack when the ball was on the Ravens 30 yard line. Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri who made his first three kicks in the game and his first 8 kicks in M&T Bank Stadium missed a 40 yard field goal for his first miss @ the Stadium which happened just before the Boldin catch for a TD to put the Ravens up 24-9.
The Ravens got a franchise record in receiving from Boldin who had 5 catches for 145 yards and Joe Flacco do just enough to win the game and not allow the Colts to retire Ray Lewis as he throw 23 passes and only completed 12 of them for an amazing 282 so when he connected it was a big play. rookie Ravens running back Bernard Pierce who carried the ball 13 times for 103 yards While veteran Raven Ray Rice carried the ball 15 times for 70 yards but those two extra carries ended up on the carpet as he fumbled the ball twice and the first was on their opening drive where a miss hand off between himself and Flacco ended a drive that had gotten them into the Colts 10-yard line and looking for a opening statement.
Ray Lewis had his chance in the first quarter to make a statement play when a tipped pass from Luck hit him in the bread basket and then in his face mask before hitting the turf for an incomplete pass. He did make 9 tackles and 4 assisted tackles to led the Raven D and the fans in his final game at M&T bank Stadium wanted Lewis at the end of the game as the Ravens were QB kneeing the ball and Lewis came in as an available receiver as he was at the end of the offensive line to a huge ovation.
So Indy could take the Colts but the Lewis

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West expecting a baby
It maybe the end of the world as Kim Kardashian is expecting for first child with her boyfriend Kanye West and it is going to be a disaster as both are very public figures and love the spotlight. So they are so in love with themselves and being the talk of the town that I do not know how loves the attention more as Kim got setup by her buddy Ryan Seachrest set her up with Kris Humpries who she married for 72 days and it was all documented by the Kardashian reality series. Then there is Kanye West who has been in the public eye since hitting it big with the CD college dropout and liked wearing outrageous cloth and he really put his foot in his mouth on September 2nd, 2005 during a benefit for Hurricane Katrina and said "that George Bush does not like black people" which left Mike Mayers in an awkward position being right beside Kanye when he said it.
When the baby arrives there is no question that their baby will be in the public eye the whole time and will be pushed into the spotlight and will be a messed up child because they are going to be more interested in the add attention that they will be receiving from their baby. For Kim she may have chosen to have a baby because it was the next stage of her need for media attention and she has seen both of her sisters have kids and felt she needed to join the club.
For Kanye with both being very media hungry that they my get into each others way and Kanye me get up and leave at anytime and the child may be shipped between both parents from time to time if they separate.
I hope the bby grows up to be fine because so do raise above their crazy parents
