Rumble, Grammy, and Reed

The WWE should be disappointed in itself.  The only thing that did surprise me, but doesn’t surprise me now, was having HHH get eliminated early in the Rumble.  But if you really think about it, it makes sense.  Knowing that he wasn’t picked to win, he probably went up to daddy-in-law, Vince, and told him that he’d take one for the team.  And like I said in my previous blog, everyone predicted Edge to come back and it was too predictable to have him win.  The ending wasn’t even dramatic.  He throws out Batista and two seconds later side-steps Cena and throws him out.  Lame.  They at least could’ve had Cena and Edge battle it out.  Get the crowd going…something!  But, it is what it is.

Although my focus was towards the Royal Rumble, I was fortunate enough to catch some of the Grammy performances.  Pretty solid compared to past years.  I was disappointed that the Dave Matthews Band didn’t pull out Album of the Year, but it was nice to see them get some recognition. 

Finally, I am sad to say that Reed Johnson is now a Dodger.  I will miss you Reed.  I think I will miss you most when a fly ball is hit to the gap.  As three runs have scored and Marlon Byrd finally gets his fat ass to the ball, I will think of your hustle and the game-saving catch that you would’ve made.  A moment of silence for Reed Johnson and his beard…  Thank you.
