The latest poll has officially closed with your views on the last WWE PPV. So here goes!

The People have Spoken! and, thought the "2008 Judgment Day was..."

• Awesome! I'm happy with all the results 1 (4%)


• Ok, but JBL should've beaten Cena 10 (41%)


• Ok, but Kane & CM Punk should've beaten The Miz & Morrison 6 (25%)


• Ok, but Jericho should've beaten HBK 10 (41%)


• Ok, but I was expecting Batista to interfere with HBK and Jericho's match 6 (25%)


• Ok, but Beth Phoenix should've won 2 (8%)


• Ok, but Melina should've won 2 (8%)


• Ok, but Undertaker should've pinned Edge for the title 6 (25%)


• Ok, but Edge should've beaten Taker 12 (50%)


• Ok, but MVP should've beaten Jeff 8 (33%)


• Ok, but Randy should've beaten HHH 11 (45%)


• What the.. you mean I missed Judgment Day? 4 (16%)


• Boring.. hated it! Too predictable and nothing happened 3 (12%)

With a total of 79 individual votes (of 24) what stands out the most is a resounding 12 votes wanting Edge to layeth the smacketh down on the Undertaker's rudey poo candyass, in second place 11 votes wanted Randy to usher in a second Age of Orton by taking back his WWE Championship from HHH, and finally in third-equal placing you, the people, wanted JBL to bring the beat down on Cena with Jericho doing the same to HBK. Both of these matches with 10 votes each

Thanks for voting everyone!
More polls coming soon including what you want to see in BTB Season Two

Okay, it's a bit hard to tell if the BTB Lottery Draft was a good idea or not because YT have decided to fix the subscriber county thingy so what I've done is added a poll to see if I should keep doing them

In the meantime a more descriptive explanation of the four options are:

1. I keep doing random "BTB Episode Lottery Drafts" where I post a link as before. If you're a lucky winner you'll be able to see the video 1-day in advance of everyone else
2. I do "Mystery BTB Episode Lottery Drafts" where I'd make an announcement saying that one is coming up within the next 3-5 videos but not specify which one. The winners would receive a private message with a link to the video and have a 1-day advanced preview as above. No one else would be the wiser therefore not feeling like they were left "out of the party" which I think could be the case with the original idea
3. Drop the idea altogether!
4. Purge the idea, burn it from memory, and give it a good flogging! (Please only select this option if you unsubscribed as a result of the draft)

FYI: The idea behind this is give an added incentive to my loyal subscribers. I'd also rotate the list which is 25 people on a regular basis so everyone gets a turn

So please vote in the latest poll so I can tell whether or not to do anymore "Lotto Drafts". Thanks!

Hi all,

As an experiment to add a bit of excitement into the mix and because of the urgency for our next vid which has us predicting the results of the One Night Stand PPV (which I'm uploading right now) I've decided to set BTB Episode 30 (3 of 3) to private for the next day. Eeek. Part 2 had such a nice cliffhanger that I personally wanted to hold off posting this one for at least 3-days but because the One Night Stand PPV is just days away I really had to post the other vid first

So what I've decided to do is give a limited number of lucky subscribers drawn from a completely random Lottery Draft an exclusive 1-day advanced preview of Episode 30 (3 of 3)

Click on the following link to see if you can see it..

PS: At the time I thought this was a cool idea but it turns out alot of people didn't like it as I've lost almost 10 subscribers already. As a result I've decided to reduce the advanced preview time from 2-days to just 1. So if you can't see the video please don't unsubscribe! It's a silly 2-min rant anyway and you'll see it in good time too. In the meantime I'm uploading BTB 31 (1 of 3) right now so you've still got another great episode to watch. BTB Episodes 30 (3 of 3) and 31 (2 of 3) will be up tomorrow night so please be patient. Please resubscribe if you hated this idea so much that you clicked the grey button of death. Thank you everyone :)

Okay, so here's a secret for you BTB fans out there so sssssssshhhh! Don't tell anyone, okay. lolz. I'm going.. ssshh.. to give you a heads up (or spoilers) for the final few episodes of BTB Season One

But first, on an interesting side note..
This past saturday (24th, May) we were supposed to film 3 episodes, some episodes with multiple parts such as 31 (1 of 2), etc. Altogether there should've been 8 parts. To me this seemed fairly reasonable, ploblem is and if you've been watching our show is.. we can never seem to stay on time. lolz. For example Ep 30 was supposed to be a simple 10 min shoot, no more. The final result is a whopping - 24 mins! If you know me trying to edit 2 mins of overtime is hell in a hand basket, but.. 14 bloody mins! Jeez. lolz



Anyways, this seems to be the problem (is being overtime a problem really?) for all eight episodes. haha. I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to address this one issue and hopefully edit and post all of these vids before the end of next week or the week after but I guess I'll have to try. Oh, the humanity :p

Oh yeah, back to those upcoming episodes..
** SPOILERS BEWARE ** (Highlight to see spoilers)

BTB 30: Moments that Changed the Face of Wrestling
Below the Belt - Episode 30..
In this episode we combine a question submitted by one of our subscribers with one of our own. Lenaire suggested we talk about the "Moments that Changed the Face of Wrestling" and rvd126 submitted the following, "your top ten favorite wwe moments of all time". So what we'll do is list our 10 Moments that Changed the Face of Wrestling

BTB 31 (1 of 2): What will happen? ONS and NOC
Below the Belt - Episode 31 (1 of 2)..
In this episode we give our predictions for the One Night Stand and Night of Champions PPVs

BTB 31 (2 of 2): What will happen? WM25 (2 of 2)
Below the Belt - Episode 31 (2 of 2)..
In this episode we give our predictions for Wrestlemania 25. Yes! A whole year away and what we think will happen other than Lenaire and myself totally marking out at the biggest stage in sports entertainment. Woot!

Please note: the episode numbers above are based on the topics and may not reflect the actual numbering of episodes due to going overtime (as in the above rant)

More spoilers coming soon!
These s-markylicous episodes and more coming to a lostinz YouTube channel near you!
Cheerios :)

Regards, Cliff

PS: What do you think of our temporary new room layout? This particular library room that we booked didn't have blinds so we were forced to film it this way on the other side of the table with the sun in front of us, the reflective glass and people walking behind us. Errr. Some really good eps coming up though!

Hi all,

Just in case you didn't know my other series 07SWCT (or 2007 SIFE World Cup Trip) has been on a rather unintentionally long hiatus. With the popularity of BTB I've been concentrating my efforts on that series however I'll be completing my 07SWCT "masterpiece", as I like to call it, some time after The Long Hiatus mentioned for BTB in the last post

07SWCT episodes are alot harder to edit because the video files are often scattered unlike with BTB where one episode is usually one video file and most of the content I'll keep unless there's timing issues. Compare this with literally hours and hours of footage of 07SWCT and most of it without any commentary further compounds the issue

However, rest assured I will conclude this series (07SWCT) with a satisfactory ending
Cheers!

Regards, Cliff

FYI: There's about four episodes left in the 07SWCT series

So how can I put this nicely.. well, um.. BTB, your favorite wrestling commentary show will be going on the longest hiatus to date. With exams coming up for both Michael and I we'll both need to spend 2-weeks either studying or sitting our exams. Believe me when I say this but if it were just Michael we could continue but since I'm the guy editing and posting these vids we're kinda buggered. lolz. Yes, how cruel a world this is.. oh the humanity! :p

I'll still be able to comment although this will probably be limited as well. And I almost forgot but this also means the next lot of vids are the last for this season too. Waaaahhhh, I know

The Long Hiatus is: June 9th-23rd and yes, in case you missed it BTB will be back hopefully later that week (read below)

Anyways..
I've been thinking about how we can use this break to our advantage. I figure it's time for a much needed overhaul anyways. What I suggest is ending this "season" (as you've come to know it) of BTB and then coming back with possibly a new look or logo, a new intro and outro theme song, perhaps even dropping the intro song and leaving the outro, etc. The list goes on! These are just a few examples of what Season Two of BTB could come back as

I'll be posting a poll soon where you'll decide the fate of BTB Season Two. In the mean time post a comment and let me know what you'd like to see in the new show and if I like your ideas I'll add them to the poll

Cheers :)

Regards, Cliff

PS: Stay tuned for the OTC episode addressing The Long Hiatus and BTB Season 2. I figure most people won't check this blog out so better to be safe than hateraded on :p

Hey yo..

I've posted a new poll (about time, I know :p) but first here's the results for our last one entitled, "The Angle that Shocked Me the Most was.."

• Reagal shutting off Raw 0 (0%)
• Adamle and Taz walking off ECW 4 (66%)
• Undertaker getting stripped of the title 2 (33%)

The people have spoken and they thought Adamle walking off of ECW was the most shocking angle well.. um.. bloody ages ago. Alright, I'll try to be more timely with these things. lolz. Personally, I think Taker getting stripped of the title is bigger. Errr

Anyways, check out and vote in the new poll on the 2008 Judgment Day PPV! It's multiple choice again so get voting :)

Cheers and regards, Cliff

What's up everyone!

Tonight's shoot for BTB went extremely well and it was SILLY x10, so.. you'll love it! There's lots of S-Marky (as Lenaire likes to call herself, not a Mark or a Smark but something in between) behaviour and humour to boot

Firstly, we filmed three massive episodes! There's so much overtime that we practically filmed 6 to 10 episodes altogether although officially it was 3 eps.. not to mention (although, I will) the HIGHLY anticipated "Question Roulette" which turned out to be exactly the way I envisioned it - no where near as cool as the Raw Roulette and completely Off.. the.. Cuff (small plug for my other show *winks*)

So we hammered out all the subscriber submitted questions on my list to date! Or at least the ones I added to the list :s

Please post your question again on the main channel comments section if I somehow managed to miss it. Oh yeah, doh and sorry :p

The other two episodes I'll keep a secret for now. Spoilers to come and I just may put them in my OTC (Off The Cuff) show so keep your eyes peeled (ouch)

More to come including Polls, Polls, Polls!

Regards, Cliff

Hi all,

Here are the results from the latest poll entitled "2008 Backlash was..."

• Awesome! I'm happy with all the results 4 (28%)
• I liked it but! MVP should've won 4 (28%)
• I liked it but! Chavo should've won 5 (35%)
• I liked it but! Khali should've won 0 (0%)
• I liked it but! Batista should've won 5 (35%)
• Huh?! What women's match. I was getting the drinks 3 (21%)
• I liked it but! Edge should've won 3 (21%)
• I liked it but! JBL should've won 5 (35%)
• I liked it but! Cena should've won 1 (7%)
• I liked it but! Randy should've won 2 (14%)
• Stupid! Just stupid! The whole thing! 3 (21%)
• What's a.. Backlash? 0 (0%)

As you can see from the poll most people enjoyed the PPV overall although it seems they would've loved it had their favourite superstar won: Most notably for The Big Man, Dave Batista, to win in his match against HBK Shawn Michaels, JBL winning in the Fatal-Four Way against Cena, Randy and HHH, and finally Chavo regaining his title from Kane. All three matches tied in votes for 5 each. The next notable mention from the poll is MVP getting the smackdown on his opponent Matt Hardy to retain his US Championship with 4 votes. Of course these results didn't happen and if you don't know who actually won then you're an idiot, so let's move on... :p

Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone for voting! It's great to get all this feedback from you and I really appreciate it :)

Finally, as you may or may not know the WWE, as the paranoid b@$t@rds they are, are pulling PPV prediction and review videos from YouTube. This includes one of our videos! If you'll remember Episode 14 (2 of 2), our Backlash Predictions video, where part one ended with a cliffhanger on who MVP would face for the US title, well it's gone! It got removed for copyright infringement which is complete and utter BS. I've rewatched this video and there's nothing wrong with it. We don't use any illegally copyrighted matcrial at all (so we DO NOT use any photos or video clips that are owned by the WWE in this vid. Don't tell me that they own words now). Errr

Anyways as a result we won't be producing a review episode on Backlash which is fine by me, there's lots more to talk about including the WWE becoming a cashcow whore. Sorry about my language in this post. I'm usually a much happier chappy but this internet bullying by the WWE has me fuming big time

More polls coming soon! Cheers :)

Hi all,

Over the last week I've had a poll running entitled "The King of the Ring was..." with three options:

• Awesome! Regal will make a great King
• Stink! What were they thinking?! Everything about it was dumb
• Okay, but someone else should've won it!

Here are the results: 8 votes for awesome, none for stink, and 5 for someone else should've won it

The people have spoken, and they rule in favour for our new king, The King of the WWE, William Reagal! So, no mob today then

Thanks for voting! New polls are up so please have your say. The results will be shown on the very next episode of your favourite YT wrestling commentary show - BTB. Woot!

Regards, Cliff

Hi all,

I just received news today that we won't be able to film for BTB this week. That means no new episodes until (at least) next Wednesday. No worries! I still have one more left from our last shoot and I'll post it later this week

Please vote in the polls (lower right-side menu) I'll use the results in our next lot of vids and also submit any questions you have. We'd love to answer them next week in our highly anticipated Question Roulette episode (similar to the Raw Roulette only nowhere near as cool. lolz)

Again, sorry about the delay! You can blame Michael :p

Regards, Cliff

Hi all,

I've posted a new poll. Please vote now!
The results will be used in the next episode of BTB
Cheers!

Regards, Cliff
