As nerds, we tend to take things to excessive extremes. Be it memorizing Pi to as many places as we can, to being able to name all the James Bond films in order, or being able to name every Spider Man comic series ever published. Our heads are full of useless information. But I think the most pointless inane thing in my head is a knowledge of the full name of several acronyms. Why do I know that on Knight Rider the Knight Industries Two Thousand fought his evil enemy Knight Automated Roving Robot? I don’t know why. But I do. And that makes me a nerd. The same goes for knowing all the entries below.

Wrestlemania is just around the corner, but it isn’t the only wrestling game in town. This past Wednesday saw a slew of fun matches at the CZW Dojo, including two title defenses.

So this week isn’t really going to be nerdy or funny, at least not the type of funny I try to be with these things. Content has been lighter than usual the last few weeks, and I wanted to explain why. I also hope that maybe this is a little bit informative. If not, whatever, laugh at my pain. But be warned, this is a pretty personal and disgusting entry, so of course I have to share it with the entire internet.

This week was crazy, having not one, but two bonus matches. The extra matches really help with the flow of the evening, meaning the main event doesn’t have to be a crazy multi man elimination match to fill time, so I hope they consider doing it more often. That’s just $0.71 a match, where else are you gonna get that? With two title matches even! Most episodes of Smackdown don’t even have seven matches. On the down side, apparently ring announcer Emil J was MIA, so we got Larry from The Three Stooges instead, hence why some matches have no belltime. And now, on to the action.

The WWE series of games finally makes its way to the newer platforms, but we might have to wait until next year for it to be something truly worth playing.

If there’s one thing everyone has in common, it’s the experience of going to school. We all have had a whole slew of teachers in our lives. Most of them were perfectly serviceable and followed their lesson plans just fine. Some of them sucked terribly and should never be allowed near children. But there were a few who excelled at the position, who went above and beyond, and whose wisdom will always stick with you. This list is dedicated to those teachers who never get the recognition they deserve.

When you hear the word “Captain”, what do you picture in your head? A sailor? A pirate? Maybe an airline pilot? All perfectly valid choices. But there are many types of captains, not all of them involved with ships. Well, OK, most of them are, but not always.

This week was a mixed bag at the old Dojo Wars with a lot of strange goings on. The ref split his pants almost immediately in the first match, there was a 40 minute 10 person elimination match in which no eliminations happened for a half hour (during which my camera battery died), and oddest of all was a Scepter on a Pole match fought over a trenchcoat. You can’t make this stuff up.
