Stunt Granny Video Game Review: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

Posted on May 8, 2013 by stuntgranny

fc3bd - Title

Ubisoft’s Far Cry 3 brought a lot to the stealth/action genre.  It had large, open environments that looked great and were fun and easy to explore.  The stealth mechanics were intuitive and made you feel like a badass when you were able to take out an enemy camp without being seen.  And there it had tons to do, aside from the main quest, like hunting, liberating outposts, and gathering new weapons.

Kevin’s Blog: Almost Live, Definitely Half Assed Review of #TNA #ImpactWrestling

Posted on April 25, 2013 by stuntgranny

repeater_300dpiI’m repeating my weekend travel plans from last week except I’m going for my girl’s grandmother’s 92nd birthday. So in order to clean off the DVR, let’s roll.

I forgot that they were going to be at IUP. James Storm is in the ring. AJ Styles is in the stands. Bad Influence joins them. I do like their sales pitch. Aces & Eights are beating up Storm again. The rest of the people who have been beat up suck. Joseph Park sucks the least. 3D thru the table so he can feel his Abyss roots.

Aces & Eights are still in the ring so that they can suck the energy out of the room. They beat up all of our heroes. Why didn’t they deliver that promo before the break? It was a short promo then you reset after the commercial break. Tazz tried to sound tough before another commercial break. Yep, thanks for making two segments suck instead of one.

Taryn Terrell is fighting Tara. The only thing catching my attention are Tazz & Tenay fighting like sixth graders. Then Tazz notes that ODB is sober. Yep, they let Taryn hang around to get the cheap pin when Tara got cocky. Always a decent way to build up a babyface without hurting the heel. People don’t care.

Rob Terry is taking on Jesse. I feel bad for this crowd. What did they do to deserve this? Robbie E saves Jesse from a pin. Weird spine buster type move for the win by Terry. Woof.

Bad Influence tries to recruit Bobby Roode. We get reruns of Jeff Hardy losing. Good for Chris Sabin coming back. He’s a tough cookie.

Austin Aries confronts Bobby Roode about getting Fortune back together. He makes several good points himself. I guess they’re gunning for the World Tag Team Titles. Chavo & Hernandez have the belts but seem like after thoughts in this match. The baby faces get to take advantage of an arguing team. Wow, Hernandez looked like he may have hurt himself. I’m not surprised. The match has been pretty good as a over all though. Kaz runs interference. Daniels interference back fires. Frog Splash win.

Marty Jannetty is the modern day Robin Hood

Posted on April 10, 2013 by stuntgranny

th

So apparently this story is from Rob Feinstein, and was snagged by yours truly from some message board of some description:

Saturday was a really busy day for us. We had all of our guests and I was running around doing stuff in other places. I got to meet Hulk Hogan and he was great with all the fans too. I don’t know how I got thru the day with a hour of sleep but all I could think was that it would all be over soon. I saw so many people that I have not seen in years like Brian Lee and countless others. After the convention was over I headed for dinner while our amazing staff was set up at the other wrestling shows that night. Now this is when things get interesting.

So anyhow around 11 PM we decided to break down our table after the Dragon Gate show was about to end. We were taking all of our merchandise out of where the shows were going on and we were able to access the main vending area as it was only split by curtains. It was basically pitch black because the lights were turned off due to the wrestling show going on in the same room. Keep in mind this was a HUGE sized convention center.

As my staff of about 4 people that day entered the merchandise side of the show we were going to our space. At that time we all saw Marty Jannety acting really strange. He kept walking in circles and acting like he was on the phone. He had no business at all being in there at this time what so ever. He was not a vendor nor did he have to do anything at that time of night. We watched him some more from our table and we knew something was wrong. He kept on watching us from around the corner and was watching us to see if we were watching him. I knew something did not add up. At that point I decided not to leave our merchandise in that room. It did not feel safe at all. I quickly called the main promoter of the event and told him what I thought was going on.

We ended up loading all of our stuff into our van and saw with my own eyes Marty going to tables and taking peoples merchandise and putting them into plastic bags. At that time the promoter of the event came into the area and asked him what he was doing. He claimed he knew these guys and there were all his friends. His bags were than searched and he had merchandise from various people and tables. He was told he had to put everything back or they were going to call the police. He was then escorted out of the area and security was called in as they were at another end of the venue. I found it to be a really sad situation that he has to do this stuff and also ask fans for money to help fix his “ankle”. When you have to steal hard working vendors merchandise to later sell at indy shows is just a really sad situation. I know a few people who told me on Sunday they were also missing items as well. I am not trying to bury the guy or anything but just putting it out there. I also got a call today from another promoter who also saw him taking stuff off tables as well during the actual show.

56 Days of WrestleMania – WrestleMania 2000′s Best Matches: Results

Posted on March 25, 2013 by stuntgranny

No shocker here: The follow-up to October 1999′s great ladder match between the Hardy Boys and Edge & Christian would set the stage for incredible triple threat action for the next 12 months, to include the Dudley Boys as well. As for the other winner, you try spending more than 5 minutes at work searching for “terri runnels kat” and see what you find. Use your imagination on that one, weirdos.

Phoenix Coyotes New Championship Belt

Posted on March 13, 2013 by stuntgranny

Coyotes Championship Belt

For those of you who don’t watch that much NHL hockey, there seems to be a kinship between them and professional wrestling. The latest example is this championship belt from the current Phoenix Coyotes which I first saw on the Puck Daddy blog over at Yahoo! Sports. Mikkel Boedker was the recipient of this new belt which replaced John Cena’s spinner belt. They seem to have modeled it after the new WWE Championship. It is possible since the Rock debuted the belt back on the February 19th show. I have no idea how long it takes to manufacture one but it’s possible given the month gap between their respective debuts. They both have the symbols flanking the head piece, the company logo in the middle and wording underneath. The Coyotes’ belt to me looks more like a championship belt because the Rock’s belt has a lot of void space that shows the black leather backing. I think gaudy when I think championship so more shiny = more official. The players on the Coyotes clearly care about wrestling so I only have one last question. If the Coyotes win the Stanley Cup, I wonder if they’ll say they’re going to Wrestlemania instead of Disney World? -Kevin

CM Punk & John Cena’s Photo Journal From #Nashville Part II

Posted on March 12, 2013 by stuntgranny
2013-03-09_10-28-20_271

John Cena respects my hustle in the gym even though he doesn’t have my loyalty.

My girlfriend’s mother decided to buy me WWE Rumblers for Christmas. I had been meaning to more with them before now. They were happy about their trip to Nashville. I posted these pictures over on our Facebook page but I’m never sure who sees that so I will re-post them here for your enjoyment. Let’s see what they did Saturday with some extra notes from the trip.

John Cena met me at hotel gym in the morning. It was nice of him to serve as my inspiration to bang out something on a vacation day. All three of us got the gym. We’re definitely getting old when we’re not so hung over we have to skip the gym. After getting cleaned up, we headed out to Belle Meade Plantation. They ushered you thru the gift shop to get your tickets.

2013-03-09_12-16-48_730

John Cena is ready to go to war for the South.

I couldn’t pass up taking this picture. It’s almost a perfect scale for the WWE Rumblers. We wondered around the estate after buying our tickets and saw the family mausoleum, which I forgot to note in my Facebook post. It’s a not so minor note that wold have helped the post.

2013-03-09_12-43-04_956

CM Punk wants to make the Undertaker to rest in sleep.

We weren’t allowed to take pictures inside of the mansion itself so no shenanigans for the guided tour portion of Belle Meade. I would have loved to have taken a picture of the bronzed hooves from one of the horses. Considering that the Bellas showed back up last night, it would have been a premonition of two horse faced Divas coming back. We moved on to some food at Hog Heaven which I highly suggest if you ever head to Nashville. The pulled pork was awesome. The Flying Saucer was the next venue that got hit so we could have some afternoon beers. I won’t review the beers in this post but I will post pictures and captions.

2013-03-09_16-38-31_455

I can’t believe these drunks are taking me to another bar.

I never used any of CM Punk’s tag lines but I did use his straight edge standing to help me out with the next one. I think I put more thought into using John Cena’s triad of ideals than he ever has with this caption.

CM Punk & John Cena’s Photo Journal From #Nashville Part I

Posted on March 11, 2013 by stuntgranny

2013-03-08_16-09-56_329

My girlfriend’s mother decided to buy me WWE Rumblers for Christmas. I had been meaning to more with them before now. They were happy about their trip to Nashville. I posted these pictures over on our Facebook page but I’m never sure who sees that so I will re-post them here for your enjoyment. I’ll be doing two posts for Friday night and Saturday. Let’s see what they did Friday with some extra notes from the trip.

2013-03-08_18-30-02_823

I’m trapped in a glass case of emotion.

John was really only trapped in a plastic cup of emotion at the manager’s reception at our hotel. Thanks to Ron Burgundy for the inspiration.

John Cena Porn Star

Rawr what now? Bring in the porn stars.

Jeremy’s contribution to the photo journal is above. He inspired me to let the porn jokes come to me. Get it? Wokka wokka.

2013-03-08_22-45-37_227

I get porn stars to do this, allegedly.

I found this box in the Honky Tonk Central. We went in there because my lady was pretty sure it’s the bar that Heath Slater filmed a segment in when the WWE was actually in Nashville. Fun three level bar with a band playing on each one.

2013-03-08_22-57-57_875

CM Punk has seen some hot pink in his day, if you know what I mean.

Jeremy is a fantastic hand model. After enjoying all three floors including the views off of the balconies on the third floor, we moved onto another bar. Sometimes jokes are too easy to pass up. Which is when you Photogrid John Cena on flanking beavers at the Wild Beaver Saloon.

56 Days of WrestleMania – WrestleMania VIII’s Best Matches: Results

Posted on March 6, 2013 by stuntgranny

Now here are two kick-ass matches from 1992: Ric Flair vs. Randy Savage for the WWF Title, and Roddy Piper vs. Bret Hart for the Intercontinental Title. (Can’t find a video of Hart vs. Piper, dang it!) I don’t know if this is a testament to the roster depth at the time, WWF’s willingness to keep title belts off people with names like Repo Man and Skinner, or the general greatness of these four wrestlers. And they weren’t even the main event of the show!

56 Days of WrestleMania – WrestleMania V’s Best Matches: Results

Posted on February 22, 2013 by stuntgranny

Is it weird to think of how many of these “best matches” include Hulk Hogan? Maybe not; what a hell of an entertainer. Here he is against “Macho Man” Randy Savage, tearing the house down in the main event. (Who else but Savage would get bodyslammed over the top rope to the floor?) Second place goes to the talented Rockers vs. the underrated Twin Towers, four great workers who work great together. Enjoy!
