Recaps :: Game 6 thursday, Thursday, THURSDAY! vipu, Vipu, VIPU! BE THERE FOR THE FINAL THROWDOWN WITH THUNDER! Although the final score was 9-4, it was much closer since the Thuderbolts had several quality take-downs that were not recognized by the referee. (The referee also failed to recognize Trixie when she yelled at least 18 times that the Thunderbolts needed to play a man down. When Alex mentioned it, the situation was quickly reconciled. Obviously, men are better.) The Game 6 steel cage match atmosphere led to 2 temper points for Judo, a pathetic "scoreboard" taunt by Blair, and knowing smiles from Alex and Paul who felt more disbelief than anger at what they were witnessing. The only thing truly missing from the game was a maniacal, Howard Dean-esque war hoop. As Alex put it after the match: "I don't usually get upset when stuff like that happens if the other team sucks. I just laugh." There's a lesson for all of us in there somewhere. And a lesson in Leana's post-game musings about how Will's absence meant she wouldn't be making any trips to the hospital. After some digging, this reporter was able to uncover that the Thunderbolts were originally part of the lesser-known World Championship Wrestling federation. They put together a soccer squad after a 60 Minutes investigation revealed that wrestling was in fact scripted, and the outcomes were never truly in doubt. The Thunderbolts felt this was a breach of ethics and decided to take their clotheslines, drop-kicks and people's elbows to the soccer pitch. So far, their wacky antics and hard-core bravado have not translated into wins. But most observers believe it is only a matter of time. Lots and lots of time. In the midst of all the hullabaloo, VIPUer Paul stood tall with superb passing, a deft touch and a stellar defensive effort to keep VIPU from dragging its game down to the former WCW franchise's level. (How's that? Glowing enough?) Of course, even that would have been impossible, had surprise guest Shiff not showed up with magic socks, shinguards and cleats. The legend of the shining sneakers will only continue to grow...  |
