The same package that held the 2011 Topps UFC Moment of Truth pack I posted about a couple of days ago also included some WWE cards, including a couple of 2014 Topps WWE Chrome Hobby packs. I was going to stretch out these posts by posting about each pack individually, but even between the two of them I am going to have a hard time finding enough to post about. It would seem that the WWE has moved on without me, and I don't know if I'll ever catch up to it.
I at least recognize Brie Bella and Dean Ambrose. I couldn't tell you anything about them, though. Scott Stanford is someone I don't know. The Corey Graves card is an NXT insert. I think NXT is like the WWE's developmental property. Interestingly, Graves' Wikipedia entry says that he has retired from wrestling, but is still with the NXT as a color commentator. Apparently Scott Stanford is a play-by-play guy for WWE shows.
The second pack was about as exciting as the first one. I have heard Zack Ryder's name and I am somewhat familiar with CM Punk. CM Punk's card is a Refractor. Apparently Diego is the younger brother of Carlito, who is a guy I've actually seen wrestle. That about does it for those cards. I feel a little out of touch when I look at them.
The night before last my wife and I went to see the Postmodern Jukebox concert in Boise. It was pretty good. I've been a fan of their Youtube videos for a while and a fair amount of the fun translated over to the live show. I had one highlight for the night. The MC announced that they were going to do a song from the 90's about what men really feel deep in their hearts. I leaned over to my wife and said, "I bet it's the Thong Song." Then they played that song! I totally called it.

I think their current US tour is about over, but if you get a chance to go to their show or browse their Youtube catalog you should do it.
The new Star Wars movie is out. I haven't seen it yet, but I really want to. Hopefully I will be able to avoid spoilers until I work out a way to see it, but I imagine that some parts of the movie will get spoiled for me in the near future as people are overcome by the urge to discuss it in the open.
That sounds like a fun show to have gone to.
ReplyDeleteIt was a pretty good show.
DeleteSo jealous about the concert! Love their YouTube videos. They were in Toronto last month but I couldn't get there.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to going to a Straight No Chaser concert while visiting my mom in Phoenix for Christmas. I highly recommend them if you get a chance to see them.
I will look into it, but I only go to about one concert per decade. I've used my allotment up for the 2010's now, so it's a toss-up whether I go to another show before 2020.
DeleteCorey Graves was the kinda like the lowest possible rent CM Punk as wrestler, but is a surprisingly excellent heel commentator.
ReplyDeleteAt least he found a good niche to fill.
