Lord of the Ring: Week 8

[Michael Morrison]

We study the Heart of a Kang, Chino possibly being left in the Boldust, Parker and Anthony try to figure out which one has the most famous initials - A.M. or P.S., Mayhem and Josiah wrestle in a new artistic stop-motion method, I wonder if Dawonder was torn asunder by franchize thunder and The Sensational Alliance lives up to their name by continuing to one-up the good guys every time they mix it up in tag team action.

 

As I was hinting at with the intro, I wasn't able to rank Mayhem vs. Josiah, as the video was just too glitchy. I couldn't tell if they had just countered a strong or quick grapple and sometimes I couldn't even tell how many punches were thrown as they would be standing there one second and then backing up ,while holding their chest, the next.

HIGH SCORE LORD

NATE ORTIZ: Well... I've actually run out of things to say about Nate. If this keeps up, I move that we start putting Nate in 2-on-1 matches. On the bright side, Smythe is the first to break the 100 point curse. Here's to Dawonder Child for getting within double digits of The Franchize. Your time is coming, Nate... and I'll be there to reek all the benefits.

 

CLIFFSNOTES: The last sentence was taken from the film, "Wedding Singer", where Jon Lovitz's character - a rival wedding singer to Adam Sandler's character - notices that his competition is snapping under the pressure.

 

CLOSEST MATCH

BOLD vs. CHINO: Two freakin' points. The equivalent of hitting two strikes or a running attack. That's all that separated Chino from Bold... and perhaps a few chromosomes. Bold may have gotten the W, but it was just by the golden skin of his teeth... what ever that means. Who the hell started that saying and what does it mean, exactly? Skin of his teeth?

 

BIGGEST GAP

NATE vs. SMYTHE: Despite breaking the curse and actually leading on points for the better part of the match, Smythe ran out of gas near the end and Nate worked his magic. While ranking the match, I thought Smythe was going to finally beat the Natester, which turned into me thinking he would only lose by a few points, which eventually turned into me cursing Nate's name once again.

 

Oh well, I'm hoping my boy, Kage, will put Nate in his place when the time comes. Don't let me down, Kage as you are the angriest, most pessimistic person on these boards. Use that rage and hatred of all things joyfull, to destroy Nate once and for all. I will be posting random videos of Emo bands and cute little kittens to hopefully motivate you even more.

HONORABLE MENTION

SENSATIONAL ALLIANCE: Because they've been kickin' ass with no time to take names. I always enjoy when bad guys win so often... especially in wrestling. Although the sheer size of the faction is ridiculous - I think it consists of 90% of the roster, with only Versus, Guy and Nate making up the other 10%. I'd put my name in that 10% but even I'm not sure if I'm part of the Alliance or not. Hell, for all I know, that freakin' kitten could be an honorary member as well.

[Smythe D. Wonder]
