I feel kind of bad that I'm completely lost in what's going on in the WWE right now.
It's not that the program is any more or less stale than it was a few months ago. Hell this Daniel Bryan/Kane stuff should have me watching, especially given the fact that Kane's involvement in the Punk-Bryan was generally not appreciated. It's always the things you don't expect that take off.
Anyway enjoy the show, come out swinging and keep 'em clean!

Who would have ever thought that the NFL would have worse referees than WWE? I mean, wrestling referees intentionally look the wrong way and get in the way, cause it's part of the show. These rec league goobers in the NFL are trying their best and would still manage to miss a steel chair shot on the qb at the 50 yard line.
ReplyDeleteHere, I can catch you up pretty easily:
ReplyDeleteCM Punk wants RESPECT because he has been champion for over 300 days. John Cena will give him no respect because Punk only beat him twice and because the WWE didn't think CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan or Chris Jericho was main event-worthy like Cena vs. Big Show or Cena vs. Big Johnny or Cena vs. Kane. Natch.
Also, Dolph Ziggler loses a lot.
Sheamus is dominating to the thrill of no one except maybe HHH. ADR is positively Billy Gunn-esque right now.
Divas matches still end in roll ups.
Just watch Impact.
Hmm, so Bill Belichick is kind of like Bobby Heenan.
ReplyDeleteI post on Day One Patch frequently, and those guys eat this shit up like it's 1997 through 2000. Then again, most of those guys think AJ is the end all be all.
ReplyDeleteThis is silly. Why are they making a big deal out of Cena winning a meaningless tag team match that will be followed by numerous reiterations of the same thing?
ReplyDeleteOpening Raw with a Heyman promo isn't a bad thing. It's...a GOOD thing.
ReplyDeleteBecause the stips were if Cena won, he would get another title shot.
ReplyDeleteNot only that, but how many times has the "foot on the ropes" controversial finish happened this year alone? It can't just have been last week....
ReplyDeleteI hope this segment goes somewhere because it has been tedious up to this point.
ReplyDeleteI think it would have been funny if the ref said "Mr. Brooks..."
ReplyDeleteIs this guy a FCW wrestler? Doesn't look like a ref.
ReplyDeleteOhhh. Good catch.
ReplyDeleteYes
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteOh good they're riffing on the NFL. How topical.
ReplyDeleteYes it's Brad Maddox of FCW fame.
ReplyDeleteThat was predictable.
ReplyDeleteIs this going somewhere? What a boring and tedious segment.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they figured out a new way to get to the Sports Entertainer vs. Authority Figure storyline.
ReplyDeleteCue music. Skip. Tilt head. Unnecessary pauses when talking. Tilt head. Cue music. Skip. Tilt head.
ReplyDeleteJust have Punk beat the shit out of AJ already.
ReplyDeletePlaying the woman beater card is one of the few things they haven't done yet and I'm sure they'd love to have Cena berate Punk and his fans for beating up a woman to re-enforce Cena's "superiority"....
Punk is wearing a Cro-Mags shirt. He's so cool. I wish more wrestlers felt comfortable enough to interject a little of their own personality into the show, because it makes me feel a kinship to them when we have that thing in common.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I like how Punk insinuating he had sex with AJ is supposed to make him a bad guy with this demographic.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the weights and bibles.
ReplyDeleteAs tiny as AJ is, she has nice legs..
ReplyDeleteAs far as celeb couples go, Heyman & AJ is the equivalence of Randy & Evie Quaid in terms of relevance.
ReplyDeleteThat's why Cena wears shorts: so he can appeal to morons and 10-year-olds.
ReplyDeleteThat was a waste of fifteen minutes
ReplyDeleteBye bye AJ as GM.....and damn does she have some nice legs...
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteReferee angles are always great! Let's see more of this "Brad"
ReplyDeleteThis is reaching new levels of terrible. I can't wait to see how much worse it can get!
ReplyDeleteIs AJ challening Jan Brady?
ReplyDeleteGod AJ is just awful. Any appeal her character may have had at one time is just in the shitter now, she's just a really bad actress in an ugly pantsuit.
ReplyDeleteand time to go back to the game...the no talent whore is on...and Vicki
ReplyDeleteSo will AJ get punished for going upside Paul Heyman's head?
ReplyDeleteDo the Razzies have a TV category?
ReplyDeleteIs AJ a heel or face? WTF.
ReplyDeleteJesus fucking Christ. I've never hated a wrestling personality more than AJ. She has me so close to never watching Raw again until she gets fired. Linda McMahon could act circles around her.
ReplyDeleteOy vey.
ReplyDeleteBut she cocks her head! THAT BITCH IS CRAZY!
ReplyDeleteConsidering how much these two job, I'm predicting a no contest.
ReplyDeleteBe a star, Truth. Be a star!
ReplyDeleteStill, if she ever needs a place to sit, there's always my face.
ReplyDeleteStill love her. Although I do realize I was in the majority three months ago but in the minority today.
ReplyDeleteWhen did Cole go face?
ReplyDeleteBeat me to it. Bravo, sir.
ReplyDeleteCould WWE make it any more obvious they're making fun of the NFL with this referee angle?
ReplyDeleteAnd after seeing that, I stand corrected.
ReplyDeleteWhen his partner nearly died on live tv.
ReplyDeleteHow many millions of dollars in merchandise, DVD, and PPV sales are they flushing down the toilet with this CM Punk heel turn? It's been nearly two months now and he is still getting chants. People still want to root for him but feel uncomfortable doing so.
ReplyDeleteHey, that was Kane's gimmick for his first 2 years. And AJ is just as good as a wrestler...but never wrestles :(
ReplyDeleteDKR Animated...hmmmm
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but JGL will always be that little shit in Angels in the Outfield
ReplyDeleteIt's beyond pathetic. The New WWE: The face = heel and heel = face. Or something.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the NFL can counter by having Goddell faking a disasociative episode at halftime on MNF
ReplyDeleteIt's fucking amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe pauses when she talks drives me crazy. It's just so unnatural and makes her sound like a shitty actress. I'm going to say my line. Then I'll stop. And prepare to say the next time. Okay, said that line. Focus. Now my next line. Now I'll wait for him to say his line. And now my line. And now I skip away.
ReplyDeleteNo love for 3rd Rock from the Sun?
ReplyDeleteIt's wierd seeing him get a long with JR after everything that happened.
ReplyDeleteI like AJ. But I can still acknowledge that she is absolutely horrible in this role and making her GM was a huge mistake.
ReplyDeleteLithgow carried that shit
ReplyDeleteHey, didn't the board reprimand AJ and tell her she was never to physically assault anyone on the show ever again? Wonder if they are setting her up to be fired very soon...
ReplyDeleteDon't jinx it, WWE might notice and have him go back.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with you and your woman beating fantasies???
ReplyDeleteDamn right he did. That's why Dexter Season 4 was a freakin masterpiece
ReplyDeleteI want Kofi to win just to see the internet explode.
ReplyDeleteYou're just jealous that RAW gets over twice the ratings of Impact.
ReplyDeleteI will not be opposed to a CM Punk/AJ sextape blackmail angle.
ReplyDeleteWithout terrible refs, you wouldn't have had that epic Detroit/Tennessee game yesterday.
ReplyDelete"BACK AND FORTH WE GO!"-Cole
ReplyDeleteWWE Creative team's mission statement.
Tonight's backstage promo was actually pretty good, though, I thought. But yeah, get her back to messin with men's heads and wrestling again.
ReplyDeleteHey a rasslin' match! Whattya know.
ReplyDeleteThis is a hell of a match, and I don't like either guy.
ReplyDeleteDid JR buy a thesaurus while he was out?
ReplyDeleteWow, as bad as the opening segment was that match between Kofi and Ziggler more than made up for it. Very good match.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I said earlier bye bye to AJ as GM....unless they forgot they made that stipulation...
ReplyDeleteWrong.
ReplyDeleteSo why is that..."sos" not his finisher?
ReplyDeleteAnd everything since then has been shit...
ReplyDeleteCena is injured???? WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN????????
ReplyDeleteHey Cena, we can't miss you if you never LEAVE
ReplyDeletePeople I'm texting with, as well a myself, thought that opening segment was hilarious but to each his own.
ReplyDeleteI strongly disagree with your thoughts on the backstage segment.
ReplyDeleteHe'll be back to squash the roster in no time. Kryptonians heal fast.
ReplyDeleteHe sure did. I catch the reruns a lot lately and he just steals the show. I love the episode where he learns about tipping.
ReplyDeleteWith Beth leaving, AJ might be the second or third best wrestler out of the Divas, so of course they don't let her wrestle.
ReplyDeletezig zag = worst finisher in the company...
ReplyDeleteIf the stills they show are of AJ ONLY.....then I agree.
ReplyDelete"That's not even grammatically correct"
ReplyDeleteKane: Psychopath. Dentist. Waiter.
ReplyDelete"Nobody ever robs restaurants. Why not?"
ReplyDeleteI agree.
ReplyDeleteBryan looking at his beard after Kane talked about dipping him in the deep fryer was pretty awesome.
ReplyDelete"...my name is Gerald."
ReplyDeleteOh boy, we can name them
ReplyDeleteI have to say, these Kane/Bryan segments rule the fucking earth. Kane looks like he is having the time of his life right now.
ReplyDeletePick the team name!
ReplyDeleteOh..they give us choices.
Fart.
McMahon: "Who put that on the show!! I wanted more TALKING!!"
ReplyDeleteKung Fu Panda is in Warcraft??
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with your disagreement. She played a convincing irked, unstable, embarrassed borderline psychopath
ReplyDeleteSo Punk, Ziggler, and Bryan in the first three segments... how can the rest of this show NOT be a letdown?
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. And he deserves it after playing the monster of the week for roughly 10 years
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the complaining that will occur if the PTP lose right now.
ReplyDeleteThe Pandas have been in Warcraft since Warcaft III.
ReplyDeleteThank god they got those pictures of Jerry. Don't want anyone else getting the exclusive if he dies!
ReplyDeleteBut I have extremely high hopes for this season, that trailer got me really excited.
ReplyDeleteThen again, so did Season 5's.
You lost me when you said convincing.
ReplyDeleteThey really need to start making these matches mean something. They are entertaining but they don't play a part into long term angles (besides thrown together tag matches, I guess). Almost every match needs to build to another wrinkle in a character or twist in an angle.
ReplyDeleteEvery time Foley's music hits I think it's going to be Razor Ramon. Every. Time.
ReplyDeleteMRS. FOLEY'S BABY BOY!
ReplyDeleteMICK FOLEY DOESN'T APPROVE OF CM PUNK. THEREFORE YOU SHOULD BOO HIM. BOO HIM GODDAMMIT.
ReplyDeletePunk, Heyman, and Foley with mics. *grabs popcorn*
ReplyDeleteHey, let's overexpose our champion in a bunch of pointless talking segments.
ReplyDeleteGreat. Mick Foley. Remember what happened to the last guy that complained about Punk turning on the fans?
ReplyDelete*Goes back to the "Mario Goes Beserk" thread.
The main event hoodie....smell the merchandise sales being wasted
ReplyDelete... i on occasion have worn jorts... :(
ReplyDeleteMICK FOLEY SENT THE TEXT!!! AND DROVE THE HUMMER!!
ReplyDeletedid mick just say there's no bout adout it?
ReplyDeleteCORNETTE quote
ReplyDeleteThey've already had Bret Hart and Foley come out and say how bad Punk is. Are they just going to trot out a different legend each week until people finally hate him? Should we start a pool on who's next?
ReplyDeleteAJ is great! This role for her is terrible.
ReplyDeleteNever happen but could get behind a "Heyman corrupts punk, paul/brock costs Punk title at RR, Punk sends Brock packing to re-face" at Wrestlemania
ReplyDeleteIt didn't help Al Snow or the BIg Bossman, Mick.
ReplyDeleteI don't care. He's so much more tolerable this way.
ReplyDeleteFor all the crazy shit Mick's done, glad to see he still has his mind, but I'd swear he's gassed from this promo.
ReplyDelete...OK, Punk's got my attention.
ReplyDeleteMick Foley = Attempt #100 to turn CM Punk heel
ReplyDeleteThat was the Kennel From Hell. Entirely different gimmick match.
ReplyDeleteNo one cares about the PTP's anymore. Just another wasted opportunity.
ReplyDeleteSuch an awesome promo.
ReplyDeleteDamn Mick. Nice.
ReplyDelete"The day after that, it'll be 311..."
ReplyDeleteThis heel turn is a Beautiful Disaster.
....aren't the Divas that you put on their knees good enough for you, Punk?
ReplyDeleteI really miss this Mick, not the corny joke version but the one who could bring one hell of a dramatic promo.
ReplyDeleteHe's Paul Heyman's evil(er) twin.
ReplyDeleteYou want Punk to make the right decision...and that decision is to risk his life in a cage match against a dude he's beaten countless times?
ReplyDeleteThis is so stupid. Did they ever consider that Punk isn't catching on as a heel because wanting respect isn't a bad thing?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, that's Foley's best promo in years. I didn't think he had any of those promos left in him.
ReplyDeleteBest promo I've heard all year.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't they lead of the show with this instead of that bullshit with AJ and the referee.
ReplyDeleteBecause AJ is INTERESTING.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but you see, it's quite simple, it's not just about respect, it's the......hey, look over there........booing punk yet? Shit
ReplyDeleteI'd like a Punk/Brock vs. Cena HHH HIAC match. It would almost like a mini Wargames.
ReplyDeleteBecause they're hoping the Foley promo pulls people away from MNF?
ReplyDeleteThat was a compelling, interesting, riveting 10 minutes of Professional Wrestling. Mick and Punk were both spot on there. But I still can't stand Cena and still am 100% behind Punk. Maybe next week Punk will have a sweet handlebar mustache he can twirl while delivering the GTS to a newborn baby?
ReplyDeleteTake note, Cena: You CAN put someone over without putting them down.
ReplyDeleteThis could be a disaster. Miz is not the type of guy to make someone like The Ryback look good.
ReplyDeleteCM Punk = Buzzsaw from Demolition Man. He could punch a fan in the face and the fan would get up screaming "Buzzsaw TOUCHED me!!"
ReplyDeleteRyback should give Miz nothing.
ReplyDeleteNice how Ryback popped up back on his feet from the force of the powerslam.
ReplyDeleteFeed me SMORES.
ReplyDeleteFAN RUN IN
ReplyDeleteThat'd be a nice win for Ryback, if Miz wasn't a jobber.
ReplyDeleteFan totally just ran in the ring haha
ReplyDeleteA WILD FAN APPEARS
ReplyDeleteRinger jumper!
ReplyDeleteRyback beating the IC champ might actually be impressive if they, you know, didn't job out the champ every week.
ReplyDeleteSee kids, you too can main event Wrestlemania and never get another meaningful storyline because you didn't kiss the right ass backstage.
ReplyDeleteThey really should have just given Ryback the title here. Why even bother with a rematch?
ReplyDeleteThey need to pull the trigger of The Ryback right now. The Ryback vs Sheamus at the next PPV.
ReplyDeleteThat skit was fucking awesome.
ReplyDelete....uh.
ReplyDeleteRyback would actually be MORE over if he had just won the belt. Remember when Goldberg beat Raven and The Flock but didn't get the U.S. title because he had to beat him three weeks later? Yeah, me neither.
ReplyDeleteThey'll probablly do it at the PPV.
ReplyDeleteThey are really All Mixed Up with what direction they should take Punk in. I keep hoping they Don't Let Me Down Again, but they will.
ReplyDeleteAmber.
A "When Harry Met Sally" reference? Jeez, WWE, don't hit us with such a modern reference!
ReplyDeleteI agree. In fact, he should probably beat him in 18 seconds. Not kidding, either.
ReplyDeleteThey should bring out the Divas that he used to screw.
ReplyDeleteYou see, they can't use instant replay because that would make sense and stuff.
ReplyDeletericardo rules
ReplyDeleteBarrett's music is too upbeat
ReplyDeleteThey'd better not let Ricardo wrestle. He's gonna get over more than ADR and Otunga combined.
ReplyDeleteSo they literally find out about their matches two minutes before?
ReplyDeleteOk, I'll say it. I want to see The Ryback vs The Undertaker at WM. Streak vs Streak.
ReplyDeleteRemember when someone here thought Tyson Kidd was getting pushed? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
ReplyDeleteOh no, more "We Want Nexus" chants. Don't encourage them!
ReplyDeleteMeltzer reported that it was discussed during MITB but nothing materialized. He should go to the X-Division, that is the only place he can thrive right now in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteHe already is.
ReplyDeleteThe Souvenir? What a terrible name for a finisher.
ReplyDeleteThis was a lot better than last week. At least Barrett's working stuff like the Bossman Slam back into his move set.
ReplyDeleteAt the very least, Barrett's finisher should be a Roaring Elbow instead of that lame one.
ReplyDeleteNah, they like Ryback. If they gave him the title then he'd have to start losing every match.
ReplyDeleteWait, you mean give someone a secondary championship and have him win matches afterwards? What a crazy idea!!
Kinda interesting they are giving Barrett the KO elbow with Hero waiting in the wings.
ReplyDeleteSo is this the "Big monster gives more than he should to little guys" push or the "We've already had 3 monster squash pushes this year so we're trying to be different"
ReplyDeleteShe's the worst. But wow tommy maddox can give her a run for the money.
ReplyDelete"Two weeks ago, my friend and partner..the guy who I humiliated and made fun of on a regular basis for two years straight had a heart attack...."
ReplyDeleteLiked for the Tommy Maddox reference.
ReplyDeleteJust started watching in dvr. Ugh @ the nfl blinders
ReplyDeleteWhy do they insist on showing the damn pics of him going through CPR? WTF
ReplyDeleteYeah, I doubt anyone really worried one way or the other about Hero when they were deciding what Barrett's finisher should be.
ReplyDeleteGoddamn, he's orange
ReplyDeleteJust say it, CM Punk gave you the heart attack...they've tried everything else
ReplyDeleteWow how bad was that opener? Didn't go well
ReplyDeleteMichael: "Did you get to respond to New Jack's tweet, Jerry?"
ReplyDeleteBRB. Bribing doctors to tell Jerry Lawler he can never commentate again.
ReplyDeleteLove him or hate him, it's great to see Jerry sitting there smiling. Get well, King.
ReplyDeleteNice to see The King up and running.
ReplyDeleteHere comes the Punk run in
ReplyDeleteOtunga may be the worst wrestler since Brakus.
ReplyDelete
