Monday Night Raw Will Be 25 Years Old Soon

In a few weeks WWE Monday Night Raw will be celebrating its 25th birthday. Monday Night Raw has now been the flagship show of World Wrestling Entertainment for 25 years. As a huge wrestling fan I'm amazed at what Vince McMahon has been able to accomplish. It was his vision back in January of 1993 that made this all possible. Never before had there been a live weekly wrestling show. Mr. McMahon knew it could be done, and through testicular fortitude he made his grand vision come true. There were many struggles along the way - most namely the "The Monday Night Wars" where WCW's Monday Nitro almost put WWE out of business. Thankfully Vince, WWE and Raw won the hard-fought "Monday Night Wars." This was almost as good of a victory as the allies victory in World War 2. From 1996-2001 it was a huge fight between Raw and Nitro. Raw came out on top!

My favorite Raw moment was when John Cena made his Monday night debut. Cena was truly ready for the big time. He made a huge impact by embarrassing Christian and Chris Jericho. Other great moments were when the 123 Kid defeated Razor Ramon; when the 123 Kid almost defeated Bret Hart for the WWE Championship; when Ric Flair had to leave Raw after being defeated by Mr. Perfect; when Kane took off his mask and revealed his hideous face; and there have been many other great moments. My least favorite Raw moment was when CM Punk did his pipebomb promo. That was truly an atrocious moment.

Raw is king in the wrestling world! Raw will never go away! Long live Monday Night Raw.

Spongebob — The Forgotten Diet Dr. Kelp

 The greatest moment in cartoon history, in my opinion, was when Spongebob and Squidward delivered the very first Krusty Krab Pizza. After going through hell and high water to get the pizza to the guy's house, Spongebob shook his ass gleefully and said, "I can't wait to see the look on the customer's face!" Spongebob rang the doorbell cheerfully, and the customer, who was some species of fish, immediately answered. Spongebob triumphantly announced that his Krusty Krab Pizza had finally arrived. The fish's mouth started to salivate with delightful anticipation, and he said, "Thanks, I've been dying for one of these!"  But then suddenly the fish's happy face turned into a frown.  "Where's my drink?" He inquired.   "What drink?" Spongebob asked, a hint of nervousness in his voice. The customer got irritated, and his blood pressure started to rise.  "MY DRINK! MY DIET DR. KELP! DON'T TELL ME YOU FORGOT MY DRINK!&

"Space Jam: A New Legacy" is the Greatest Movie of All Time

When I saw Al Pacino completely transform into Michael Corleone in the first two Godfather movies, I never thought I would see a greater acting performance. Al Pacino's Michael Corleone started off as a mild-mannered man who didn't want to take any part in his family's illegal mafia activities. However, after his father is attacked by a rival gang, Michael Corleone reluctantly takes it upon himself to avenge him. He kills both Virgil "The Turk" Sollozzo, who initiated the attack, and the corrupt police captain Mark McCluskey in a fine Italian restaurant (I wonder if that place is still in business) -- I heard the veal was the best in town.  Michael Corleone initially flees to Sicily to escape the authorities, but when his older bother Sonny Corleone is killed as retribution for his actions, Michael Corleone comes back and takes over as the Don of the family. His father, Vito Corleone, dies of a sudden heart attack -- but not before giving him final instructions on

Tsuris At A Concert

It's no secret that I'm a gay man. I support the LGBTQ+ community whenever I get the chance. I go to rallies, go to pride parades, attend support meetings, and do whatever I can to help my fellow brothers and sisters in this marginalized community.  One of the biggest things I do is support LGBTQ athletes, artists, authors and musicians. I attend a lot of concerts where one or more members of the band are LGBTQ. Even if the artist is already dead, I still do whatever I can to make sure their legacy never fades away.  I'm a huge Queen fan. I believe that Freddie Mercury is the greatest singer who ever lived. One of the greatest regrets of my life was that I never got to see this man live. In the 70s and 80s, when Queen was in their heyday, I regrettably refused to attend their shows.  For many years I repressed my homosexuality. For a huge chunk of my life I was a fundamentalist religious nut. Even though I knew I was gay, I tried to repress my desires and live in accordance
