So, at the most recent pay-per-view, Mr.McMahon and his son Shane challenged Michaels, a born-again Christian in real life, to a tag team match.  Michaels&#8217; tag team partner for the match was none other than&#8230; God.<\/p>\n<p>In a shocking turn of events, God no-showed the match, leaving Michaels on the receiving end of a 7-on-1 beatdown by the McMahons and the 5-member tag team The Spirit Squad.<\/p>\n<p>I guess this means that, in wrestling lingo, God has &#8220;turned heel,&#8221; or turned into a bad guy.  Abandoning your tag team partner is one of the most common ways for a former good guy to turn heel in the world of professional wrestling.<\/p>\n<p>In other news&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/memphischarly.blogspot.com\">Charly<\/a> is no longer my favorite blogger, after posting in her blog that she doesn&#8217;t own any tube tops and has no plans to start wearing them.

Evan something.  Last name begins with an N.  Can&#8217;t remember what exactly he&#8217;s running for either.  If anyone has the info, shoot me an e-mail.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m taking the night off from going out tonight, because I need to do laundry and sort through the 100 or so pictures I took at Beale Street Wine Race.  Tomorrow night the Dempseys are playing the Madison rooftop.  And of course, Friday-Sunday I&#8217;ll be having as much fun as possible downtown WITHOUT going to Music Fest.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the news for now&#8230; off to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent weeks on WWE Monday Night Raw, WWE chairman Vince McMahon has been getting fed up with one of his main-event wrestlers, &#8220;The Heart Break Kid&#8221; Shawn Michaels.
