CB’s Special Report: Stand Back, There’s a Hurricane Coming Through!

Columns

Before the power goes out — and before the rain and wind take hold of us up here in the NY Metro area where I reside — I figured I’d hop on and give some quick wrestling-related references my friends have texted / told me as we’ve all been prepping for Hurricane Irene.

First and foremost, I hope everyone stays safe, and if you are in an evacuation zone, please heed this warning:

Thanks for that, JEAN945!

OK, with that public service announcement out of the way, here’s just a collection of random hurricane-related wrestling reference I’ve heard this week:

–“Stand back, there’s a hurricane coming through!”

–Earlier this week, John Tenta rocked Virginia and other areas. Now, it’s Gregory Helms’ turn.

–With all of these “Natural Disasters” occurring, I noticed that Mayor Bloomberg has arranged for “Tugboats” to come and rescue folks from all of the “Demolition” that might take place.

–I don’t know what’s worse, the power going out or actually having to catch up on three DVR’d episodes of IMPACT. (editor’s note: it wasn’t Blair A. Douglas who said this)

–If Irene hits the Jersey Shore, can it take Robbie E.’s gimmick with it?

–Are these the “winds of change” that Wade Barrett was talking about this whole time? #delayedstorylineclosure

–Is Hurricane Irene WWE’s latest ploy to bury Long Island Iced Z, Zack Ryder?

–What causes more damage, Irene to the East Coast or Kelly Kelly to women’s wrestling?

Well, that’s all from me. As I said above, please just STAY SAFE and I hope everyone comes out of this OK.

That’s all from me — CB.
