Enough with the spoilers already!

We don't need to know everything ahead of time.

Enough with the spoilers already!

Spoilers. I hate em, you hate em and we try to avoid them. Yet some companies can't avoid telling us what their product is going to contain anymore. Movies are half spoiled by the studios that put them out, video game endings get leaked and all that jazz. But the worst offender? Look you know I am gonna talk about wrestling. It's what I do.

The big one that just recently pissed me off is the fact that they spoiled that The Undertaker is going to appear on the 900th episode of Smackdown. This is huge because he hasn't appeared on WWE TV since Wrestlemania this April. But couldn't you appreciate it more if the gong hit to a surprise and you didn't know he was coming out?

The fact is, you can't do surprises anymore in WWE. The advent of social media and the news spoiling everything, making true surprises is really hard now. But the most recent spoiler is just a drop in the bucket. WWE willingly spoils things themselves, revealing the surprise returns and entrants for Raw, Smackdown and the various pay per views. They do it because they have to. They need the ratings and guaranteed draws like Goldberg and the Undertaker and even Brock Lesnar are bound to get numbers and "buts in the seats."

But take a look at the most recent Royal Rumble or Survivor Series 2014; the company worked hard to ensure that AJ Styles and Sting debuts would be a secret, even assigning a security detail to Sting to make sure no one saw him. The reactions they got were enormous and it made it better that the crowd was not expecting it. Just stick with that every once in a while and let us have a surprise.

Also seeing as how election day is tomorrow as I write this #TRUMP2016, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
