@midnight Power Rankings (Oct 17-20)

Hey, I can still do screencaps from the Comedy Central app on my iPad!
This week, let's talk a little about Jesse Joyce. I run hot and cold on Jesse Joyce on @midnight. I freely admit this, and I think a review of the Power Rankings would bear that out. But when he hits, he hits HARD. His performance last Tuesday was up there in the all time greats of @midnight history, and he beat out a LOT of good performances this week.

Oh, The Metahumanity! (Oct 17-23)

HE HAS RETURNED TO SAVE US ALL.
This one technically isn't late because I couldn't watch "Legends of Tomorrow" until tonight and nfinish off the week. SO THERE. A drastic uptick for The Flash this week, but we'll see if they can maintain.

Motherfuckin' Lucha Underground! (Payback Time)

That's what you get for leaving him for dead
This week brings us the tale of Puma's redemption after his loss to Mil Muertes at the end of Season 1, plus more DOOMDIAL and more unique opportunities.

Weekly Wrasslin' Wroundup (NXT)

Way more interesting than mean Aussies
NXT is really firing on all cylinders lately. ANother really good week packed with stuff that made the filler tolerable.

Weekly Wrasslin' Wroundup (SD Live)

WWE finally gets "dumb fun" right on Smackdown
A fairly successful Smackdown this week, all things considered, thanks almost entirely to the Styles-Ambrose-Ellsworth stuff, which continues to be ridiculous gold.

Weekly Wrasslin' Wroundup (Raw)

Dooooooooooooon't caaaaaaare! Dooooooooooooon't caaaaaaare!
OK, for the record, the main reason I shit on Goldberg at the end of this WWW is because I don't have the one thing required to like Goldberg's return. I wasn't watching WCW when he went on his streak. I have zero emotional connection to or nostalgia for the man or the character. If you do, you'll probably see things differently.

@midnight Power Rankings (Oct 10-13)

Monday was a simpler time.
Before we begin, the most fascinating thing about this week was watching @midnight track, almost perfectly, the rise and fall over the shark of Ken Bone. From the overenthusiastic embrace on Monday, to the half-assed Skype appearance on Wednesday, to the almost ironic Ramon Rivas cosplay on Thursday, it was was an abject lesson on the perils of instant celebrity or something. And since I'm posting this the following Monday, you'll all have to use Wikipedia to even remember who Ken Bone was.
