Northern Reflections - January 29, 2012
January 29, 2012, marked an epic opportunity for live-Tweeters everywhere. A plethora of
The All-Star Game, while fun, sort of did me in for Tweeting about things that no one, least of all me, cares about, so the Pro Bowl and SAGs got skipped altogether (the Pro Bowl and SAGs got skipped, © Airplane!). I did, however, manage to make it through the Rumble. Accompanied by a bottle of wine and a few beers, here’s what I saw.
So, the busy live tweet day begins at 4:10 ET with some dude singing a crappy dance song at the NHL ASG #phlivetweet
Rosters being introed, Phaneuf and Lupul get booed out of the building in Ottawa #phlivetweet
They love Malkin in Ottawa. He got a big reaction at the skills competition last night too. Add Kessel to the booed list #phlivetweet
Crowd seems apathetic toward Team Alfredsson. They're saving the Sens guys for last. Roof should come off then. #phlivetweet
Amazing that 4 Sens made it. Good on their fans for voting them in. #phlivetweet
US anthem being sung by the winner of The Voice. He's chosen a slow acoustic version. I don't think he gets sports. #phlivetweet
OTT's regular guy gets the O Canada gig. I think they said his name's Lindon Splooge. Pretty operatic, but good. #phlivetweet
Is this game even being aired in the States? Is it on The Ocho? #phlivetweet #Dodgeball
Nice unis. NHL crest with player number above. Clean and simple. #phlivetweet
First save goes to Lundqvist off Hossa. #phlivetweet
Last 3 ASGs decided by 1 goal. That's odd. #phlivetweet
Gaborik scores on Lundqvist. Plays rifle with the stick afterward. Good times. #phlivetweet
Malkin makes it 2-0 Team Chara. Pretty goal. Picked the corner. #phlivetweet
Gaborok with another. 3-0 Charas. Pretty boring for an ASG thus far. Time to shake up the lines and get some creativity going. #phlivetweet
Seeing "Gaborok" in my last tweet reminds me to mention that I'm on my iPod, so it could be ugly. #phlivetweet
Spezza gets one past...the Charas goalie (Elliott maybe?). 3-1 #phlivetweet
Harrell now calling the play while on the ice. Love this kid. "The Sedin triplets score a goal. Suck it, Phaneuf." Awesome. #phlivetweet
Harrell? Stupid autocorrect. Hartnell. Also, Tavares makes it 3-3. #phlivetweet
Holy shit, penalty coming up. All penalties are penalty shots. Howard stops Stamkos. #phlivetweet
3-3 after one. Slow pace to start. Should pick up as guys get comfortable. Don Cherry is going to say stupid things soon. #phlivetweet
I mean, Cherry's probably been saying stupid things all day, but he'll say them on my tv soon. #phlivetweet
Yeah, shut up Cherry. Kessel was picked last last year and is having a career year now. Couture isn't embarrassed. #phlivetweet
Now he's championing giving Game 7 to the winning ASG team. Because it's so popular in baseball, I guess. #phlivetweet
Apparently, Cherry vs Burke is a thing. It's no wonder we've had mo snow with that much hot air blowing. #phlivetweet
After I typed that, I looked outside and realized it's been snowing pretty heavily for a while now. Crisis averted. #phlivetweet
2nd starts with a Charas goal from Gaborik. Hat Trick and a lock on MCP so far. #phlivetweet
Gaborik got that goal on Quick. Price in for the Charas. #phlivetweet
Also, he's more likely to win MVP. Lupul from Kessel, 5-3 Charas. #phlivetweet
Taking a break for a bit. #phlivetweet
[Remainder of 2nd period missing here, but come on, it’s an all-star game.]
Just occurred to me that with the NHL ASG, Pro Bowl, & SAGs, this might be international apathy day. #phlivetweet
I'm no rap aficionado, but Canada's own Drake is fucking terrible. Like, really fucking terrible. #phlivetweet
Like, R-Truth bad. #Drake #phlivetweet
[3rd period missing here, but come on, it’s an all-star game.]
12-9 final. Charas over Alfredssons. Bring on the Pro Bowl. #phlivetweet
Has there ever been a more useless non-WNBA sporting event than the Pro Bowl? #phlivetweet
The Pro Bowl: the NFL's best players...who aren't in the Super Bowl and couldn't fake an injury to get out of it. #phlivetweet
Wow. Randy Moss has lost some weight. And height. And black. #phlivetweet
Hot Chelle Ray is an actual thing? I'd call you on it, America, but, you know, Drake. #phlivetweet
Good to know the live crowd doesn't know this song either. There may be hope yet. #phlivetweet
Holy shit! Creepy Shamwow Vince is back! The Schticky comes in three sizes. This is worth watching the Pro Bowl for. #phlivetweet
Taking a #phlivetweet break to bathe my kid and get her to bed. Hoping to find a Royal Rumble feed to tweet about later.
[Remainder of Pro Bowl missing here, but come on, it’s an all-star game.]
Live tweeting of the Rumble is courtesy of my totally legal (source: Wkilpedia) feed. #phlivetweet
Bryan/Show/Henry to kick it off. Lilian Garcia announcing. Cole still hates Bryan, even though they're both heels. #phlivetweet
Looks like Big Show used an army tent to make half his tights. #phlivetweet
Nice triple avalanche by Show on Henry into the cage. Bryan's strategy is escape. Not working yet. #phlivetweet
Sorry to disappoint on the SAG tweeting, but I just don't have it in me. Skipping the Pro Bowl too. #phlivetweet
Wait, is Booker the heel announcer now? He's defending Bryan all over the place. #phlivetweet
Top rope choke slam? Top of CAGE choke slam? Nope. Bryan falls to the floor for the win to retain. #phlivetweet
Not sure that's how that match was supposed to end. If so, terribly done. Also, my totally legal feed went offline. #phlivetweet
New feed. Apparently, Cena is sad that some people don't like him. It'll be interesting to see if he gets a new character. #phlivetweet
So, with this Cena video that's STILL going on, it looks like they're aiming for "I gave you everything & you turned on me" #phlivetweet
Hey look, Divas. I'll get a beer. #phlivetweet
A Diva jumped from the top rope onto the rest of them, and none of them died. Nice of them to catch her before falling down. #phlivetweet
Poor Zack Ryder. Poorer viewers. Cena/Kane is up now. #phlivetweet
Cena out first. Not much playing to the crowd, given that that's the point of this angle. #phlivetweet
After one punch, Booker: "A fight just broke out here, dog." Astute. #phlivetweet
I like Kane's new autopsy-scar shirt. #phlivetweet
I actually don't hate this pairing. It's different at least, and it keeps Cena out of the title picture. #phlivetweet
Top rope 5-knuckle shuffle. Fun. #phlivetweet
Double-countout, brawl to backstage, Cena getting beat down leads to Kane murdering Ryder via suffocation. Dark. #phlivetweet
Kane wheels Ryder's corpse to the ring where his mourning widow comes out to watch a tombstone. Cena saves her from Kane. #phlivetweet
Now they're all hanging out in the ring like they're waiting to come back from commercial. Stop wasting time, assholes. #phlivetweet
Wait...they actually went to commercial. What the fuck? It's WWE vs bullying, but still. #phlivetweet
Apparently, Cena has a lot on his mind mentally. Thanks, Cole. #phlivetweet
Rock vignette counts as an extended WM commercial. Why do people pay for this shit? #phlivetweet
This isn't even a WM commercial. It's a plug for his movie. Just brutal. #phlivetweet
Drew McIntyre and the Spanish announce table. Two things no one cares about. Also, Brodus Clay. #phlivetweet
So, Brodus Clay is Rikishi + Godfather? Hope he can actually go in the ring. #phlivetweet
1 part Blue Meanie/PN News RT“@psychofish77: So, Brodus Clay is Rikishi + Godfather? Hope he can actually go in the ring. #phlivetweet”
Oh. Lost my feed for literally bell to bell. Clay wins. Slim Jim commercial to pay tribute to Savage (& the troops). #phlivetweet
But mostly Savage. #phlivetweet
Looks like Ziggler/Punk up next. After the Raw commercial and the Laurinitis vignette. And, probably, a Divas match. #phlivetweet
Huh. Laurinitis recuses himself from ref duty, but he'll supervise the reffing. Interesting. #phlivetweet
Vickie looks like she's wearing lingerie for the elderly. Not cool, Vickie. Not cool. #phlivetweet
Vickie gets the boot from ringside. My ears thank you. Also, my eyes. #phlivetweet
I really like Ziggler, but I think he needs an extended run with a big title before he's legit. #phlivetweet
The Mach Man elbow is now "vintage CM Punk"? #phlivetweet
Ref bump. Bring on the Laurinitis screwjob. Punk had Ziggler tapping, Punk pins Ziggler, Ziggler makes a GTS look good, no ref. #phlivetweet
Credit where it's due, I thought Ziggler had a chance. Nice storytelling in that match. #phlivetweet
Oh yeah, Punk won after a second GTS. Terrible move, but Ziggler sold it like a champ. #phlivetweet
Ugh. More commercials. #phlivetweet
Now they're showing the same stats package they showed at the beginning of the broadcast. That's like 5 minutes repeated. #phlivetweet
So Punk and Bryan are eligible to enter the Rumble? That seems dumb. Anyway, here we go. #phlivetweet
The Miz draws 1, my feed dies. Back just in time to hear him flub his promo. Let's just get to the match, okay? #phlivetweet
Alex Riley out. Could be fun. #phlivetweet
Miz eliminates Riley with time to spare. #phlivetweet
3rd is R-Truth. Is Morrison still employed? If so, I'm thinking him and Show out next. #phlivetweet
Nope. Cody. Seems to be a lot of smaller guys getting airtime these days. #phlivetweet
Justin Gabriel at 5. And the crowd went meh. #phlivetweet
Primo at 6. They need a big man in there next. #phlivetweet
Truth eliminated by Miz, drags Miz under the ropes & cold cocks him. Foley in at 7. #phlivetweet
Foley takes Primo out. 8 is Del Rio. No, it's his announcer. Joke entrants already? #phlivetweet
Santino at 9. This is dumb. Miz is still on the floor. Cody's in the corner. Foley's just standing there. Ugh. Sock war now. #phlivetweet
Epico at 10 eats Socko and is out in seconds. Miz and Cody wake up. Santino's gone. #phlivetweet
Foley's gone, Kofi in at...11? Back to wrestling. #phlivetweet
12 is Jerry Lawler. Great. #phlivetweet
Cody dumps the King. Zeke Jackson is the 1st big man in at 13. #phlivetweet
I think Booker wants to date Lawler. Sounds like an NFL announcer talking about Brady. Jinder Mahal at 14. #phlivetweet
Mahal still not in the ring. New Undertaker? #phlivetweet
15 is Khali. Of course. They attack evil-ninja style and eat chops. Mahal and Zeke out. #phlivetweet
Hunico is 16. I don't know who Hunico is. #phlivetweet
Booker gets the call at 17. Lawler slurps him. #phlivetweet
Kofi gets the highlight if the night -- handstand on the floor to the stairs. Ziggler out at 18. #phlivetweet
Oh god. Hacksaw Jim Motherfucking Duggan? Do they not have 30 wrestlers on the roster? #phlivetweet
ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN THE WWF! RT @psychofish77: Oh god. Hacksaw Jim Duggan? Do they not have 30 wrestlers on the roster? #phlivetweet”
Duggan out. Waste of a spot. Booker and Khali out too. 20 is...Cole. This is ridiculous. #phlivetweet
Karma/Awesome Kong at 21. Booker and King eliminate Cole. #phlivetweet
22...Sheamus. About time. Looks like legit wrestlers in the wring now. Kofi's out. #phlivetweet
23...The Road Dogg of the Old Age Outlaws. #phlivetweet
That has to be at least half joke entrants. Inexcusable. Jey Uso out at 24. #phlivetweet
Swagger gets 25. #phlivetweet
Barrett out at 26. He and Sheamus should feud. Also, Road Dogg no longer taking up space #phlivetweet
Otunga out at "lucky" 27. They keep saying that. He can't win, right? #phlivetweet
Fuck. Hometown Orton out at 28. Stupid Orton. #phlivetweet
Uso and Barrett out via Orton. Jericho in at 29. #phlivetweet
Otunga out via Y2J. #phlivetweet
Last man in is Big Show. #phlivetweet
Show should clear the refuse. Yep. Swagger, Cody, Ziggler, and...someone else. #phlivetweet
Show, Sheamus, Jericho, Orton are the final 4. I pick Sheamus because I'm dumb. #phlivetweet
Holy shit -- Show and Orton out. Y2J or Sheamus, unless something crazy happens. #phlivetweet
Jericho's never won a Rumble. He's a lock. #phlivetweet
Sheamus kicked Jericho in the face...with his shoulder. Thanks, Cole. #phlivetweet
Can these guys go another 15 minutes? Can we go to a commercial or video package? #phlivetweet
Jericho's attempted a submission and a pin. Isn't he supposed to be smart? #phlivetweet
WOW. Sheamus wins. #phlivetweet
Now they just need to stop calling him "the great white." Might not play well in Miami. #phlivetweet
Punk/Ziggler was easily match of the night. Cena/Kane was inoffensive or what it was. The cage match was pretty meh. #phlivetweet
*for what it was. (stupid typo) The Divas match was too long, in that it was still on after my beer break. The Rumble itself... #phlivetweet
...was bad. Just inexcusably bad. Duggan? Foley? Santino? Road Dogg? I'm shocked the Boogeyman didn't make an appearance. #phlivetweet
Would Hornswoggle being in have tipped the ending? Having all 3 announcers in was stupid. Booker maybe, but not the others. #phlivetweet
So, overall, the NHL ASG was silly fun, the Pro Bowl and SAGs got skipped, and the Rumble sucked pretty hard. How was your day? #phlivetweet
