I went to my daughter's Christmas choir concert the other night. Keep in mind that I'm back home in small-town Missouri, so these sorts of things are always a “special sort of event.” Take for example, the man who was obviously high on something who kept walking up and down the bleachers, wobbling and stumbling, for no apparent reason. There were at least two guys in the junior high choir who looked like forty year old men (one of them looked like Crusher Blackwell, beard and all). That said, the regular choir was pretty good. Then they brought out the “Swing Choir.” They consisted of about eight students, of which my daughter was mercifully not a part, dressed in spangley clothes. We were promised a Beatles melody and then three “jazzy bell carols.” The Beatles melody was about what you would expect—flat, soulless, vanilla versions of what are already soulless and vanilla tunes (sorry to any Beatles fans, but they just don't do it for me). Obviously the choir director here has been watching too much Glee because he tried to make these kids, including Crusher Blackwell, dance. It didn't work. They kept getting tangled up, tripping, laughing (I was glad to see them having a good time anyway). Still, high guy—up and down the bleachers, up and down the bleachers. He probably thought he was actually at a Beatles concert. The three jazzy carols began with “Jingle Bells.”   There was nothing jazzy about it. In fact, it was the slowest, most depressing version of “Jingle Bells” I'd ever heard. It was like Tom Waits had arranged it. I needed a Cymbalta when it was over.   By the time the entire spectacle was done, I'd felt like I'd just finished an episode of RAW.

Okay, so Goldberg is leaving the door open for a return to wrestling via TNA. He says he'll only go if Hogan can “right the ship” and prove real competition for WWE.   Looks like we'll never see Goldberg again. I don't know, maybe Hogan will pull it off.   I'm not sure how many people are rooting for a return of Goldberg though. It would be fine if done right, but we can't have him come in play the unbeatable monster again. That ship sailed a long time ago. I bet a Goldberg/Joe program would work if booked right. That is, with Joe winning the blow off match.  

Brett Hart is coming back to WWE. Hell has frozen over.

Frakin' DX keeping Jericho off of RAW.   Jericho and Big Show are just more entertaining than DX. Everyone knows this except DX. Hell, Shawn probably knows it as he's much more entertaining when he's working alone these days. DX, much like the Beatles, is just sad now. Sad. C'mon, hippies, this isn't he sixties anymore.

I don't know what TNA is doing much better. This Hogan thing can go two ways. It can be great, or it can be a train wreck.   I'm thinking train wreck. What?   Are we going to get a Hogan/Jarret feud several years after it is relevant?   Is that Hogan's idea or is it Russo's?    I think the Hogan build up may be taking too long. People are going to get Hogan fatigue before he even shows up. Well, I'm going to try to keep an open mind about it.   Screw it. I'll remain bitter and cynical.

'Nuff said.
