A New Era in Houston Pro Wrestling

2010 is here, and so are some big changes in Houston Area Pro Wrestling.

I created a new Houston Area Wrestling Blog at The Houston Chronicle website and hopefully I will soon be upgraded from a reader blog, to an official supported blog in short time. 

I also finally got the pictures from the last IWE show up on the photos page.

Keep posted here and I'll give you more info as it becomes available!

HOLY CRAP!?

I can't believe it's been over a month since I've updated this thing. I have been rather busy with work, fun stuff, trying to be a co-host for RBR Wrestling, and keeping up with local wrestling stuff.

Speaking of which, I created a new twitter account at twitter.com/HoustonWrasslin. I will post reminders of local wrestling events and news, when available. I've been much better at updating that than I have updating this place.

I have an updated schedule of professional wrestling events happening in the Houston area, so here it goes:


Oct 9 2009 7:00P Premier Wrestling Alliance @ Pearland VFW Hall (I will not be attending this event because of other conflicts)


Oct 9 2009 8:00P NWA-SW / World of Wrestling @ Cypress VFW Post 8905  (I WILL be attending this event)


Oct 10 2009 7:00P United States Wrestling Xplosion @ Onalaska Fall Festival I will not be attending this event because of other conflicts)



Oct 10 2009 8:00P Texas All-Star Wrestling @ Humble TASW Arena  (I will not be attending this event because of other conflicts)

Didn't talk wrasslin' nor did I see the MLS/Everton match

I was so tired and bummed so I just slept and slept and slept and was even late to work. I couldn't make myself wake up to do Talkin' Wrasslin' and I didn't even watch Everton beat the MLS All-Stars in a shoot out. It's good to see Tim Howard win SOMETHING and my redneck Dynamo Brad Davis got a goal. It's all about fun and sportsmanship and I believe everyone involved experienced that.

Next summer the MLS All-Star game will be here in Houston and it should be great fun. I went to the one in Denver 2 years ago and met tons of great people and had a heck of a time.

There will be no Count to Five LIVE! in this morning because there isn't much news and there were no wrestling events of note last night.

Tonight is WWE Superstars on WGN America and then the 200th episode of TNA Impact! on Spike TV. The later should be a good one and it'll be 15 minutes longer than normal. I hope I don't sleep through it.

I got an eyeclops portable video projector that I ordered off of QVC. I haven't had much time to play with it, but it seems OK, thus far. I'll report more on that later.

10:52AM

Talkin' Wrasslin' LIVE! from last night, Zune rules, upcoming Vacation.

Did my live web show by myself last night. Procaster actually worked and didn't crash one time! It didn't record the entire video like it was supposed to, though. This means that I couldn't get the audio extracted for podcast purposes. This is still a work in progress. I just wish I had more time to dedicate to making it a little better each time.

In the PC vs Mac war, I side with PC. Fuck Apple. I do have these old iMac's that I will use, but I am never ever going to give that bastard Steve Jobs any of my money. That doesn't mean I'm totally in love with Bill Gates. I would gladly use another OS if there was one better out there, free, and I could use all of the programs that I like/love. As for my Zune, I love it. If you don't like them, great for you. Keep your opinion to yourself. Apple = Fisher Price x $$$$. Next time someone talks shit about my Zune, I'm going to shove it down their fucking throat. 

Speaking of fake violence, would anyone like to go to Pasadena with me to see some Wrasslin'? Some TNA guys will be there and so will some dudes from back in the day who I need to get to sign my old 8 x 10. It'll be fun and I might even buy your ticket, Packratshow since it was your birthday the other day. I would have called, but I've just been sleeping and working. Nothing too exciting.

My dad and I have been watching the Stanley Cup Final between Detroit and Pittsburgh. He likes Detroit and I'm pulling for the Penguins in this one. Tonight is game 3. Detroit leads 2-1 in the best of 7 series.

The NBA Finals start tonight and I HAVE to have the Orlando Magic beat the LA Lakers. I already owe my cousin a bottle of Jaigermeister from LA beating Denver. If I lose to him again, I will owe him $20 worth of stuff at Waterloo in Austin.

I'm going up to visit when I get out of work on the 19th. I'll probably drive and sleep as soon as I get there. On Saturday me and my cousin Erik are going to hang out and that evening we're going to see the Round Rock Express vs New Orleans Zephyrs in a AAA baseball match up. It should be good times. The next day I'm going to meet up with Joanne and we're going to check out some Women's Wrasslin' in San Antonio.  I'm probably going to get a hotel room Sunday night, but I don't know what I'm going to do after that.

I have that entire week off from work (hooray vacation!), but I only have plans for that weekend. I know I want to do the Texas Triple By-Pass Tour in Lockhart, but I don't want to do it alone. I also don't want to just sit at home doing nothing all week. Suggestions, anyone?

2009 Houston Art Car Parade - May 9, 2009

Saturday I went with my mom down to the annual Art Car Parade near downtown. It's always a fun event and one of the things that makes Houston awesome. I took a ton of pictures, but the best ones/ones I liked the best are available in my photo page, or you can go there directly: http://www.robbzipp.net/photos/2009-art-car-parade-may-9-2009/

 

I hope you enjoy them and let me know what you think!
