STEVEN KIRBY IS A FAT FUCK WHO CANT WEAR A SHIRT WITHOUT IT POKING OUT FROM UNDER HIS SHIRTTAIL. THAT BUCKTOOTH FAGGOT NEEDS TO GET HIS ASS OUT OF THE WRESTLING BUSINESS OR JUST PROMOTE AND NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE SHOW. HE SUCKS. HIS WRESTLING SUCKS, HIS SHOW SUCKS, HE IS A FAILURE AT LIFE.

People often add too much salt in their recipes without realizing it until it’s too late, but do not worry. There is a way to fix this! Add two peeled and chopped raw potatoes to the dish, and then allow it to simmer for around 15 minutes. The potatoes help absorb the extra salt. For a dish that is tomato-based, just put a few more tomatoes in and let them cook until they’re tender. These will dilute the extra salt.–

I also like the new format. Also, thank you, thank you. We sure as hell were the stars of this episode. You heard us, we are awesome! Orton looked visibly pissed off. Some of the chants I didn't hear when I watched it back were "We Want X-Pac" (who was sitting in a luxury box behind the next section over from me), "Austin," "DX," and "We want Pretzels."

After the show went off the air, Cena got on the mic, he says "Fandango's theme song, really?" He mentions some of the chants he heard, but says his favorite was when we told ourselves we are awesome, because we are, and that it's us that make stars. Instead of leaving with somebody's music playing, he figured he'd let us sing our way out. Then they played Fandango's theme as we were leaving.

That crowd was fucking insane. Greatest thing I've ever been a part of.

Challenge accepted.

I like this new format you've adopted. Nice way to approach the show, for sure. I have to agree, this RAW was pretty lackluster when you look at what happened. Outside of Ziggler cashing in, the crowd was the show. Some of the matches were ok, but take out the crowd and it was a middle of the road episode. Granted, the Rock deciding to get on a plane without telling anyone at the last minute kyboshed plans.

Kind of confused and ecietxd about Next Generation’, I hope it changes to two hours in the future though, the one hour thing is kind of boring. But I hope they don’t release guys like Hurricane, Christian ect. I hope Christian goes to Smackdown then Edge & Christian could reunited again !References : Blame my Brain!

Actually, I made TV three times – during Barrett's entrance, slapping hands with the World Heavyweight Champion as he made his way out for MizTV, and during Big Show's entrance for his match. Also made Superstars twice – Eve's entrance and Dolph Ziggler's entrance. Can't wait to look for myself on SMS in a couple weeks!

For what it's worth, I actually liked Cena's little speech at the end there. I'm fully expecting Punk to pick Lawler as his opponent for NOC.

Sandow had the tights? I must have selective vision because I didn't notice. I guess that would justify Brodus attacking him after the match.

Thanks again man, keep up the good work!

Keep the rants. Definitely keep the rants. Play with this format as you you want, of course, but it certainly feels more unique which is pretty cool. I completely sympathize with the start time too. You really need to bounce in on the inner sanctum of the BWF on facebook. Joe will hook you up with the details. Also, if you can make the roundtable this Sunday, that would be very cool.

Dude. Very much enjoy this format. And I agree with your rant 100%. I'm watching RAW sans commercials at work, and when Lesnar signed the contract and bolted, there was exactly 11 minutes left. Granted, as a fan I liked the final segment out of that, but it seriously went on far too long. Punk, Cena, or Big Show should have been standing tall at the end of RAW and looking strong going into SummerSlam, IMO. But, I'm a blogger, not a WWE writer. Great job man, keep up the good work!

I believe Kamala 100% . I have listened and watched this man in interviews in the past and he seems to have a good hart, is a hard worker and a religious man who wanted what was best for his family. He has no reason to say anything negative about anyone unless there is truth to it. . He was screwed by officials in the WWF with all his royalties for his action figures and the likes. All those royalties, that the other wrestlers collected on a monthly basis, never came to him, yet he took it in stride and didn't complain about it in order to keep his job and help his family.

This show had a perfect ending. They've been building to it for weeks. Remember Eve, a couple weeks ago before her tag match with Bryan against Punk and AJ, talking to Punk about how he's been overshadowed by Cena, Rock, Lesnar, and even AJ? Last week, Big Show telling Punk "these people don't care about you, you're just a cog in the machine?" Hell, a year ago, Punk trashing Cena and The Rock in his "pipe bomb" promo? Bashing The Rock on Twitter and in interviews around WrestleMania? They've been building up to this ending for a very long time, and I'm looking forward to seeing it play out over the next six months until the Royal Rumble.

Hardy, Magnus, and my pope, your pope, THE POPE look good in the standings alongside the obvious James Storm (barring injury). Like the logical approach for the series this year, even though they already changed the maximum match time from 10 to 15 minutes. That's not a terrible change. Pretty decent episode outside of the bizzaro Clare Lynch story, the telephone editing, and whatnot. Looking forward to Destination X! Great review, dude!

_G_ — Sat, 23 Jun 2012 18:00:13 +0000

Overall, this was a pretty solid episode. However, the reveal of AJ and Dixie's secret, not so much. Regardless of the mind-fuck of an ending (did they rehire Russo?), the rest of the program was once again very true to the BFG goal and ongoing stories relating to Park/Ray. I didn't realize Magnus was a heel, but did enjoy him in that role. Wasn't he a face two weeks ago? Maybe a tweener? Not sure. Hendrix was ok, but did nothing to validate a contract. I think she's got lots of upside and can develop into something better in time, just not yet. They can't give out contracts to everyone, and need to make the Gut Check more about the chase, and less about the "gold" if they want to recapture the premise and fix what Flair fucked up on his way out. Great review, as always.

I've never liked Christian's frog splash very much. Eddie's was so graceful and picture-perfect, while RVD's was powerful enough to hurt him as much as his opponent, and Christian's has always been sort of "there." That he does it is cool, but it has never made me want to stand up and get a photo as it happens.

Agreed on Paul Wight, "No Gimmick Needed."

Ryback still bores me. I have no use for him. Good day, sir! I said good day!!!

At least Tyson Kidd was on tv. Damien Sandow is rapidly becoming my favorite part of the show, though you're right that he needs something new to do.

I too marked out when the Pope made his return from filming the Batman movie, and whatnot.

I hope this year's B4G tournament doesn't get as botched as last years. From the layout of the rules and so forth, it looks to be more logical than before. Of course, some guys are just in there to lose (Robbie E) as they build up Storm towards the final payoff against Roode. Or at least that is what SHOULD happen. God forbid they feel the need to swerve us as opposed to playing out a story with an expected outcome.

While I think TNA has made leaps and bounds lately, especially by slowing things down, I can't see myself watching the PPV. I love the Joseph Park/Bully Ray storyline. I am surprised how entertaining the AJ/Dixie gimmick is, while it doesn't seem like something that should be entertaining…. yet it really is. I sorely disappointed at TNA's booking for Samoa Joe and Austin Aries, which I am sure will also be a fantastic match. Too bad they forgot to shill it…. Much the rest of this episode was lacking, albeit Roode's promo was great, I could give a shit about his feud with Sting.

_G_ — Sat, 26 May 2012 17:17:09 +0000

I too was hoping they'd have played off the episode 666, but that one-liner was all we got. Oh well, I like your idea of Kane reminding Eve (and us) of that previous story arch.

Ric-Cobra? That would be all I can think of at this moment. A team up is a possibility, I suppose, and I could see them combining their finishing moves with Santino landing the Cobra… the opponent staggers back a couple steps only to be hit by Rodriguez landing a frog splash for the pin. I know comedy doesn't generally sell PPVs (although one might argue last Sunday was an exception), but that could make for a fun program.

I agree, Ryback needs to move on. They've exhausted his debut gimmick. Poor Yoshi, indeed. Sadly he, much like Tyson Kidd (who sells that uppercut punch like a champion) are the modern equivalent of enhancement talent. There is a spot for both of them in the proposed Cruiserweight show, the same one Alex Shelley is rumoured to be joining this week

Drowgoddess — Sat, 26 May 2012 14:01:49 +0000

It would ruin the current story, but I was really hoping to see Kane pull the "terrorizing Eve" bit from their previous angle and put a dent in her new "fearless" persona. Reminding her that her authority means nothing to him, that sort of thing. He would be the one thing that shakes her up. Just me? Ok.

Swinging ninja guy is awesome!

Now that you've shown the picture, do I still have to have Heath Slater on the show? Oh. Ok.

Santino and Ricardo were great! I know that it's almost sacrelige to say so, but sometimes the way that Santino is used annoys me. This was really fun. What would the tag team of Santino and RicRod be called? Ideas?

Speaking of names, somebody name the band with Mark Henry and Kane, NOW! That's the most amazing thing that I've seen today.

Ryback is officially boring, and I have no interest whatsoever in him. Poor Yoshi. Sure, squash matches are necessary, and I find the Damien Sandow character intriguing, but would somebody please throw Yoshi a bone?

I will own a Sheamus "Brough Kick Hooligans" shirt. That is all.

Comment on Impact Wrestling-The Plot against Roode by Drowgoddess

Drowgoddess — Sat, 26 May 2012 13:04:41 +0000

I freely admit that I'm probably being unfair. The fact that I don't have tv anymore, and must actually put forth effort to find and watch things like "Impact," have altered my viewing habits more than I had thought. Everything on WWE has been rather craptacular this week, I'll give you, but as far as TNA goes, a less pungent turd is still not a creme brulee.

Part of it is that I finally gave up on TNA for good. You guys all know that I'd been an intensely dedicated follower since '04, and that if the smallest good was to be found in TNA programming, I'd hunt it down. No longer. Too many disappointments, too many times burned, too many times wondering just why I was bothering with something that demanded everything from me and gave almost nothing in return. TNA was the significant other from Hell, and like so many other fans eventually discovered, it took an unpleasant cycle of break-ups and make-ups before realizing that nothing was ever going to change, and that getting out was the only option. Anything good that TNA has happening now is too little, too late. I'm honestly not one of those people who trashes a company on the internet for the sake of her own ego, but there really is nothing on TNA that I want to see any longer. Whatever I did want to see either wouldn't happen or would be horribly misused anyway. Being fair to them takes more effort than I'm able to give right now.

That said, you're absolutely right about Joey Ryan and the Gut Check story. That's certainly the way to go with it.

Comment on Impact Wrestling-The Plot against Roode by _G_

_G_ — Sat, 26 May 2012 07:23:25 +0000

I enjoyed this show more than anything from the WWE this week. TNA is on one of their "good" streaks of story telling as of late. Let's hope this continues. As much as I like Ryan's past matches, for the Gut Check gimmick to work, they have to not sign everyone. Flair's controversy with him taking liberties with the vote when Silva was selected fucked this whole thing up. I want Ryan to get rejected and come back later "improved" and "earn" the spot, if you know what I'm getting at….

I have yet to go a week and not enjoy the Joseph Park story. I don't want this to end anytime soon.

The reviews of RAW and Impact make me almost glad that I no longer have tv. Three hours? From now on? The two hours they currently have do almost nothing for me as it is. Didn't WCW do the same thing, expanding Nitro to three hours before crashing into oblivion? Somehow, this seems familiar.

That GTFO gif is AWESOME!!! I'm ashamed that I didn't think of it earlier.

Poor Yoshi. Sure, he'd never be a high-level guy in the E, but after a ferocious gimmick change, he could have at least been a second coming of Tajiri or something. The guy has something, and could be much better than what he is. Unfortunately, the same could be said of many people not currently appearing on tv.

Great review, as always, G!

I'm totally happy they are going live. The experiment has an expiry date during a low ratings period. If they botch it, they have an out. But I'm hoping they don't. The live flow should slow them down a little more, towards building stories on a better level. They've noticeably been doing so under Bro Love. However, they've also slowed down on a number of terrible things too. It might expose them, but I'm hoping it forces them to improve and bring a better product to the table.

Comment on Smackdown 05/04/12: RIP Adam “MCA” Yauch by Drowgoddess

Drowgoddess — Sun, 06 May 2012 16:06:25 +0000

For me? Aww, thank you!

My brother described "The Avengers" thusly: "The pinnacle of American cinema has been reached. There's no reason to make another movie in this country ever again, as it's going to be all downhill from here." While I'm pretty sure that this comment shouldn't be taken literally, I absolutely loved the movie. I've never been able to stand Scarlett Johanssen, but I can't criticize anything about her portrayal of Black Widow. Who knew that the funniest scenes in the movie would involve Hulk? I said it after "Thor" came out, but once again, Tom Hiddleston shall be mine, oh, yes. That last extra scene was GOLD! Not a word was said, nor was it needed.

Who did Natalya refuse to sleep with? No, seriously. What's been done to that woman's career has to violate the Geneva Conventions.

Why do so many people hate Sheamus? Sometimes, I feel like I'm one of three people on the planet who don't. Sure, he's been dull at times, but that's more the lousy booking than him. "Irishing up" has to become a thing.

BORK SMASH =

Sandow's action were perfect. Absolutely perfect. Love this guy already. Ryback? Not so much.

Great review, as always, G-Money!

Comment on Late Edition: TNA iMPACT “Hogan Always plays with me” -Ric Flair by _G_

_G_ — Sun, 06 May 2012 03:08:25 +0000

To make it seem special, they need to have many fail. Or at least that's my thoughts. That way when someone actually gets signed, it means something. I realize that having the first guy helps establish the whole premise, and that failing part might follow. Of course, if Silva disappears in a couple weeks (e.g. Kid Kash), it will make the GC seem like a failure.

pintnoir — Sat, 05 May 2012 20:13:44 +0000

No kidding, signing Silva hopefully doesn't backfire on them in the long run. I didn't mind it but I just felt that it should have been a separate part.

_G_ — Sat, 05 May 2012 18:35:02 +0000

The best parts of this episode, for me at least, was everything to do with Ric Flair and Bully Ray. The in ring was average, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I don't mind the Gut Check premise. So far, it's been a bit ambiguous. But now that the judges have been announced (which SHOULD have taken place before the contestant appeared), I think all three fit the bill. Sure it's a work, but the way this is delivered, Flair is in his niche. I am a little skeptical about signing the first guy out of the gate, but time will tell.

Ha ha!!! The Vinces are coming for you while you sleep!!

It wasn't a terrible episode, but there was some very questionable booking, IMO. I enjoyed NXT matches much more this week, to be honest. In part because Tyson Kidd is given two segment matches almost every week. It's a shame hardly anyone watches that show, because that's where he truly shines.

It's all your fault if I can't sleep tonight! Curse your and your Vince gifs!

The Anderson/Hardy one was brilliant, though. And the Sin Cara/Evil Monkey one.

I like Teddy Long, I genuinely do. I had hoped that he would go off of tv after losing to Team Johnny, be gone for at least a few months, and return with a vengeance at a storyline-appropriate time with a tweaked character. Alas, such is not to be.

At least ex-Claudio is now on tv!

Khali gets regular matches and victories, and Tyson Kidd makes other people look good once in a while. Boo-urns!

I'll completely agree that the matches were pretty solid, but there was sure as hell a lot of filler on this show too. It was cool to see Edge back. And of course, the whole time they're doing the stupid sobriety test thing because WWE Superstars can't drink during a 12 hour period before or after a WWE event, I'm thinking "Steve Austin drank DURING the events all the damned time with no punishment."

I'm very interested in the idea of Fight Night and the Gut Check thing. My only concern is that this still is TNA, and they way they handled that tournament story got mangled. On paper that looked great, so you can understand my pessimism. Hopefully it works out.

Thanks DG! I was pretty delirious from a lack of sleep when I wrote this one, so I'm glad it didn't come across as completely incoherent!

Slater seems to have enshrined himself as the go to job guy for the company. To be honest, I dug him with The Mouth of the South last week, but you know I'd probably mark out for anyone Hart manages.

The tag division, and the word "division" is a word that really shouldn't be used here, has been at such a low for so long I question why titles even exist. It's not that I don't want to see it exist. I just question their motives.

Why is Heath Slater on tv? No, really.

Words cannot describe how much I loathe the "tag team champions get dominated and cleanly beaten by two random singles guys who are paired up for the first time" thing. They just can't. Tag team wrestling is its own art form, and should not be treated as a stepping stone or a filler act.

Cynical Bastard you, from what's going on with the teased Hogan return It really does just seem that TNA really isn't interested in attempting anything new until maybe after Lockdown. Well that is what I keep hearing. From every site I cruise through that nothing is really moving forward until then. Which sucks if true because you have Dave Lagana and Bruce Pritchard creatively behind the show and this should be a time for the younger talent to shine. but we will see.

Comment on Pintnoir Impact Review – Let the Repo Games begin by _G_

_G_ — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 17:22:53 +0000

Just caught up this morning, and I have to wonder what is going on with this company. They went from putting forth some great programming a couple months back to some really questionable shows for the last four weeks or so. Russo is long gone, so we can't blame him. The saving grace in this episode was the Storm/Rhode segments (even including the lawyer bit), the X-Division match until Bully Ray came out, and Joseph Park's short bit seeking out his brother. I don't know why, but I am really loving the Totally-Not-Abyss character. Perhaps because it is fresh and new amid a plethora of garbage. With the WWE in a holding pattern until Mania, I have to wonder if TNA just decided to not even try to put out a good episode because it will be completely overshadowed by the biggest wrestling event of the year. Or, maybe I'm just a cynical bastard. You decide!

I thought this was a 50/50 episode for their latest work. Mind you, it is week 2 in a 5 week build towards Victory Road. Can't be shocked that not too much developed other than the return of the Joker version of Sting. I have to give credit to the fact that this was taped two weeks ago, but they planted the Twitter part and executed the angle well. Also, I found it hilarious they were talking about Chris Brown and Rihanna as well… weird timing, no?

Comment on “Once Upon a Time” by Drowgoddess

Drowgoddess — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 15:33:48 +0000

My comment vanished, so I shall try again.

I don't expect to see a change either. It's just an issue that has struck me as more and more obvious every time I watch "Once Upon a Time." The whole "Hey, wrestling should be doing this too." Sure, the execution of these things might be different for a weekly wrestling show than for a traditional tv show, but the overall concept should still be the same.

I ceased getting ROH on tv when they left HDNet, so I've seen little since then. I'm thoroughly intrigued by both the Wrestling Revolution Project and (shockingly) TNA's Ring Ka King. My brother showed me the trailer for the former and the first episode of the latter during a lengthy discussion of them at his comic shop, and I'm now officially intrigued. Most of my wrestling-watching may be done over the internet now. Honestly, Ring Ka King is everything that Impact should have been. From the ridiculously over-the-top Bollywood entrance to roughly 36 minutes of in-ring action for a 43-minute show to a clear focus on the titles to my above Point #3, Ring Ka King is thoroughly enjoyable. It makes the state of Impact even sadder to know that TNA can do something right.

Comment on “Once Upon a Time” by ThatDamnDoubleC

ThatDamnDoubleC — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 09:29:22 +0000

One of many things I've learned from Jim Cornette is that the story must be believable in order to get the fans attention, because if the fans don't believe it, then nobody will. What's the point in having something that nobody believes would happen in real life? Seeing John Cena don the superman outfit may be believable once, but over and over again? Sure, upsets can happen. But Kidman beating Hogan in 2000. C'mon Man!

The problem is, it isn't wrestling anymore, and it's not for people like us. Kids these days don't want storylines. They want different things to happen each week to their favourite characters. Some good, a little bad, and the good guy comes out in the end. Back in the day, Matches for WrestleMania started five months in advance, and continued on. These days they barely go a month. the whole Rock/Cena nonsense isn't really a storyline, as the Rock isn't even there. Sure, they had the match at SSeries, but where's Rock now? Nothing makes sense, and storylines will continue to not be there in the big two until they do a massive clean out of writers and staff, and get people who know about wrestling, to write about wrestling.

There's a reason ROH has the best storyline G, they have someone who actually knows what wrestling is, and writes believable wrestling storylines to go with it, and that's Jim Cornette. Maybe TNA could actually start writing storylines now they finally got rid of Russo. Then again, this is TNA.

Drowgoddess — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 05:37:18 +0000

I honestly don't expect it either, but I've had this in my head for about two weeks, and it had to be shared. Each episode of "Once Upon a Time" gives you just enough to make you pretty happy as a fan, but always leaves you wanting more with a quasi-cliffhanger ending that you don't dare miss the next episode. Televised wrestling can and should be doing that too. The execution may need to be different for wrestling than from a scripted tv show, but the overall concept is the same.

The trailer for Wrestling Revolution Project intrigues me. I had a long chat about it with my brother at his comic shop, and he showed it to me. I'm now officially very interested. I also had no idea how good TNA's Ring Ka King was. Between not getting ROH on tv in my area anymore and discovering these two things, I'm feeling that the bulk of my wrestling-watching may be over the internet from now on.

Fans not only accepted but embraced Sting's transformation into his Crow persona and his lack of talking or having matches for a year. Sure, that was '95-'96, but that it happened at all proves that taking over a month to do something can pay off.

I'm not so sure us older fans are going to live happily ever after! Ha ha! But I completely see your point. And I'm glad you gave enough of the setting of the show you are comparing it towards wrestling so I could follow your argument, so kudos to that. I vaguely remember hearing about this show, but like many good tv series, it has passed me by… perhaps this summer I can pull some marathons and check it out.

I agree that this is an epidemic that is hurting both the WWE and TNA. Outside of the Rock/Cena program, very little seems to have an end goal of long-term story telling. And even that program is easy to criticize in many areas.

TNA had gold in their hands with the Storm/Roode program, and killed it due to, well, let's just call it "rumored" stroke of Hogan. And even afterwards, when they kind of had the chance to save it, they've been hotshotting that program by giving it away for free without ANY promotion on television. If you are going to book towards TV, and not PPV, at least take advantage of how to bump ratings.

The absolute best storyline on TV is on ROH, even though hardly anyone watches it. That's the Kevin Steen/Steve Corino/Jim Cornette feud that is almost two years in the making. Sadly, if a tree falls in… yeah, just the squirrels hear it, and they can't communicate this to humans.

While I can't argue with your points, it's something that I don't think we'll see a change in anytime soon. And that sucks. Until Jeff Katz wrestling revolution drops (and I really hope it's available in my market), true serialized wrestling is sorely lacking. I'll give credit to the Bryan/Show program (which might be dead in the water tomorrow night… but even I have a concept that can save that I'll save for the BWF Radio show when we get there). I also think that the Kaz/Styles/Daniels program has legs over on Impact if they at least give it a little more attention. The slow turn of Daniels on Styles has been many months in the making. There is some hope, just not a New Hope. Why? Because TNA went and completely fucked up the Star Wars episode. Typical.

I actually liked the Usos against Primo and Epico. There certainly aren't many legit teams to use. Sure, it doesn't push the "Elimination Chamber" ppv, but even on the go-home show, every match doesn't have to.

NITPICK: I hate the WWE's complete lack of grammatical skill in allowing the intro graphic for the Usos to read "The Uso's." Apostrophes imply possession. The Uso's what? Their car? Their dog? Their hair? Yeah, I know, nobody cares. My mother is an English teacher. It bothers me.

I really like the fact that there is money on the line for the matches in the tag division. It likens itself to the old school purse premise in boxing, and makes the match mean more IMO. The production value of the show is slowly… slowly… getting better. However, I don't like the filter they put on the backstage interview segments to look like old reel-to-reel film.

I wouldn't be shocked if they have a massive tarp/tent set up over the ring in some capacity, but that wouldn't prevent the potential temperatures. Maybe they could have a snowball fight/Battle Royal? The funny thing, is that they apparently in initial talks to have the Summerslam event there instead.

"Nickelback tells me to burn things again." Kane with an ambulance was all set in place, perfect timing… WWE dropped the ball on that!

Ha ha! You really did not like the opening segment. I didn't make it through the whole episode myself last night, caught up in the AM. R Truth was awesome, but hear you on that now having read your perspective. The theme of the night, essentially, booked themselves into a corner. They have all competitors facing each other in singles bouts, but this meant two options. 1). Clean finishes (making one person look weak)… or 2). Non-finishes (which we would complain about with 3 of them). They should've used this time to use enhancement talent and put ALL 6 over as legitimate participants in the Elimination Chamber. That way, one would believe any of them could win. I totally forgot this was the Go Home RAW, which in itself says something.

It's about damn time Cole sides with Bryan. Here, I think they finally smartened up. Cole used to be good with Taz just prior the ECW program being brought back. I think this is the first time in a long time I have something positive to say about Cole.

LOL, you tore Eve and Cena a new one for their soap opera garbage tonight. I don't disagree, because this episode stunk of the cliche of serial daytime television. I was entertained, but not impressed. The Caveman jaw references!! Hey, B.C. called, they want their stone unicycle back! Ha ha! In all fairness, we both know Eve can wrestle… she just can't act. Wet-paper bag, etc.

RAW tonight did not convince me to shell out for the PPV. Sure, I got my Monday fix… but Smackdown really REALLY needs to deliver to the smaller audience to garner buy rates. Good review, man!

I think you are right about Shelley… and I think Finley may have used something similar, if not the same. I'd have to Youtube it to be sure. It's a decent finisher to have in his back pocket. The Brogue Kick is solid, because it can come out of nowhere to drop bigger opponents he cannot lift. As much as I hated the swerve ending of the RR, I do like Sheamus. He's more complete with the Celtic Cross, Brogue Kick, and whatever they decide to call this one.

You echo my thoughts on Natalya's current use perfectly. I swear, I'm done. I refuse to watch this travesty of an abomination of a monstrosity.

Sheamus's "new move" looked strikingly like the Air Raid Crash (I think that's what he called it) that Alex Shelley used to use. The angle at which Sheamus holds the opponent is less extreme, but after rewinding it and watching it four times, it looks like the same move. I could be wrong.

_G_ — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 21:08:53 +0000

Right on the head, you're not cool if you have to tell people you are. That's precisely why I agree with you. Sure, there is good reason to push yourself on social media a little, but it's been overkill for months now… They should focus on their content. I have no issue with them placing the little hash tag under the performers name, and that should be all they need to do with it. If people are watching and care, they get what they need from that.

Consider this. The most talked about thing in the WWE since the Punk promo in July, was the cryptic videos that led to the return of Chris Jericho. Initially, the first couple of weeks had the segment cut into the programming at moments when people would be fast forwarding, off to the bathroom, hell, maybe even on Twitter. The announcers and the program did not even acknowledge these segments had occurred. And take a wild guess what WAS trending, and WAS being talked about with much excitement among the IWC immediately afterwards? Since many people missed the video's debut, it was those who did see it that drove traffic over the internet to those who missed it.

Great article, CC.

FWIW if I had to guess, replaying the entire Kane/Ryder deal was likely to make up for the fact that the main event got cut short when Mark Henry re-injured himself. In fact…

"PWInsider.com is reporting that former World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry suffered what is believed to be a hyper-extended knee at this week's Smakcdown tapings. The injury occurred when Henry was throwing a punch, and his knee moved forward before he completely planted his foot. Henry had been working through a groin injury over the past few weeks.

The finish of Smackdown had to be changed on the fly due to the injury. Originally, Daniel Bryan was going to attack Big Show with a chair after Show got Henry down. Henry would then make a comeback, chokeslam Bryan and leave him in the ring. The show would of ended with Henry splashing Bryan, leaving his ability to defend his championship in doubt on Sunday."

Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed Laurinaitis no-selling the fact he was about to have his skull caved in.

Tara and Gail should be a good feud. Hopefully since the last time they wrestled it was a squash match. Alex Shelley, Zema Ion and Austin Aries have good personalities and serve a purpose in the division. Now to the other four or five guys that they have signed in the X division. I wish they would bring on Xplosion free on TNA to have further expansions of storyarcs so some of it has room to breathe.

Some great points DG! Since we probably will need to focus on the RR on this Sunday's BWF Radio more than the week that was… I hear you about the Funkette introduction of Brodus. I love the dancing out to the ring at this point. The announcing, not so much. I think there is a novelty to it since it is different, but agree the execution and delivery is off. Just plain off. I wonder which one is doing to voice over, the NXT wannabe, or the one SCSA destroyed on the first elimination of Tough Enough 2011.

I missed the herniated disc aspect on Zack Ryder. I totally agree, that is a good save!

I don't mind seeing Tatsu tag with Santino, but your point made me laugh.

While the show was decent (sans a complete replay of the Kane/Ryder match), the treatment of Natalya and McIntyre was kind of pointless. Natalya is in the doghouse, and lord knows why. Guilty by association? And with McIntyre… I don't get how this is helping get him over. It reminds me of what they did with MVP and his losing streak. Reverse Goldberg angles do not help.

Drowgoddess — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 15:56:16 +0000

The Cody Rhodes/Justin Gabriel match was fun. Gabriel shall now officially be referred to as "The Man with the Best Shining Wizard in WWE." Cody's line about Gabriel being a "Wish-Troll meets Japanime loser" was awesome. I'm a huge fan of the guy, but his hair does fit that description at the moment.

Alex Riley trying to dance with Brodus Clay was really fun. Less fun, however, is the introduction that the two Funkettes have been giving him lately. It's too long and drawn out, and neither woman has a solid grasp of effective enunciation. Yes, I've taught Speech (among other things) for 13 years, and that sort of thing annoys me. The opening of Clay's music is good enough to get the audience going.

I got put in my place on last week's podcast over the Drew McIntyre thing, but once again, I'm saying it. What's the point of any of this, aside from certain people getting off on punishing and humiliating him? Who benefits from this angle in any way? The audience hasn't been presented with much reason to side with him and want him to keep his job. They might if some manner of video package had been done detailing his previous in-ring successes and some in-character personal commentary. Likewise, the audience hasn't been presented with much reason to hate him and want him fired, either. Replaying his most vicious moments and portraying his attempts at redemption as insincere would have helped. It just looks like no one has the slightest idea of what to do with McIntyre, so they're doing this "just because." Usually, I'm just happy to see the wrestlers that I really enjoy on tv at all, but in this case, I'm not so sure.

A broken back for Zack Ryder is now a herniated disc. Nice save, WWE. I had time to change into pajamas and use the bathroom, and when I came back in the living room, the were STILL replaying the Kane/Ryder/Cena stuff from RAW. Too much.

When did Yoshi Tatsu get so much bigger than Santino? He's been on Superstars for so long that I haven't seen him wrestle in ages, but I did not remember him being that big.

Tamina is awesome, but Natalya deserves so much better than this.

Everything that you said about Mark Henry, Daniel Bryan, and Big Show. I thought that Kaitlin turned heel on AJ. Hmmm….

Tara's win was good. Mickie James has feuded with Gail Kim since Gail's return, and much of that hasn't been nearly as impressive as it should have been. No one has ever or will ever watch Velvet Sky for her wrestling ability. Tara was the one they really needed this time.

I had the same thought as you did. "Please not Hogan, please not Hogan, please not Hogan!" Who else could it possibly be, though, to get that reaction from Eric Bischoff? We're sunk in that regard.

Alex Shelley looked like he'd never left the ring. I can't wait to see him and Aries mix it up. Xima Ion's new persona has been panned as far too "over the top" and generally awful by almost every wrestling site, but I don't see the problem. It's been quite enjoyable so far. For one thing, he actually HAS a persona, unlike Jesse Sorenson and several of the other guys. He's thoroughly into it, much like Brodus Clay. Sure, the "not the face!" bit has been done before, most recently by Cody Rhodes, but who cares? Finally, some sites complain that the "arrogant pretty-boy" gimmick shouldn't be used on a funny-looking guy like Ion. Why not? That's part of the fun. He's no Austin Aries, but Xima Ion is actually a bright spot in TNA, and they certainly need as many of those as they can get.

It is rather sad, though, that I watched a match featuring Xima Ion, the man to whom I often referred as Juan Epstein, the Puerto Rican Jew, on the day that the actor who played Juan Epstein on "Welcome Back, Kotter," died. RIP, and wherever you are, I'm sure that you'll have a note. Signed "Epstein's Mom."

I thought this was a pretty solid show too.

I didn't mind Truth facing Miz. It was the only event we've seen building to the RR that was for positions in the Rumble. Now we know #1 and #30.

In turn, this eliminates Jericho entrying at 30th, and Orton for that matter.

I also think this is the end of Jericho's "quiet time." Obviously, he broke his silence at the end. But he did all the silent things I can think of that he had not already. Talkshow segment, T-Shirt Gun, filmed the crowd through the camera… nothing left to do…

Poor Drew McIntyre. Seriously, what's the point of all of this? No one benefits from this ridiculous angle. If wins and losses are so important, then Jinder Mahal, Tyson Kidd, Natalya, and (as much as I dig the guy) Justin Gabriel should all be under the gun as well. I'd almost be more willing to accept the premise if everyone who has lost most of their matches recently had been called into a meeting with Long and told the same thing. Singling out one guy is just poor storytelling. It's annoying how Long only grows a set with Drew. Yes, I know that I've said this before.

Other than that, a fun show. As lousy as a blindfold match is, I almost choked on my tea when Santino blindfolded the cobra. That was gold!

Breaking up the original Beautiful People was the worst idea. Having Madison Rayne as their "pledge" was fun, and all but guaranteed her a huge reaction when she eventually stood up to Love and Sky, and got a clean victory over one or the other of them. Sure, it's extremely predictable, but that isn't inherently bad. Sometimes knowing where you'll end up, but not how you'll get there, is the most exciting trip.

I like the teaming of Joe and Magnus, but if they're going to be tag champs, do it now. Morgan and Crimson do nothing for me.

I hear that Alex Shelley is returning and making a beeline for Austin Aries. Sweet merciful jeebus, let this be true! Why Shelley hasn't been used makes no sense. If he was injured as well as Sabin, then I've never read about it. Aries/Shelley gives me a reason to live.

The Werewolf name is something the WWE has slapped on Gabriel for whatever reason. I suspect Twilight influence, but who knows. I agree that AJ does not look like she belongs in a ring with her build. I suppose she gets the cute pass for some male fans, which is likely why she suits the role with Bryan. By default she makes him look bigger because of her size. I suspect that the story is a plant to further the heel turn… they set up the point of her being there throughout the episode to interfere and take one for Daniel. Bryan’s reaction to her “I love you” comment is probably going to set up a reveal that she was used by him to keep his title. But we’ll see if they pull that trigger. I wouldn’t mind that at all, because it would be a heelish manipulation to get him over as a ruthless villain.

Also, I am frustrated that my computer problems somehow prevented the Brodus animated gif from appearing in this article initially. Problem solved… twice.

Seeing Natalya and Tamina in a legit feud would be fantastic. Why Natalya has to keep getting squashed every week, I have no idea. Supposedly, she was going to lose all of her matches, get kicked to the curb by Beth Phoenix, and feud with Beth over the title. That doesn't seem to be the plan anymore. Is there even a plan? "Superfly" Tamina is groovy, and seems to be getting over, which is never a bad thing. Natalya should never be the underdog.

While I have no use for Heath Slater, I want to see Justin Gabriel in a feud with Tyson Kidd. Their styles would mesh well, and something drawn out over a few months would be fun to watch. Werewolf? Hadn't thought about that one, but I can see it. Still like the guy, whatever species issues he has.

Cody Rhodes's best line was right after he said "pull an Ultimate Warrior," when he chuckled and said, "That could mean many things."

Did you guys notice the odd editing cut immediately following the Tamina/Natalya match? There's a close-up of Tamina in victory, and we see Natalya lying still in the ring. Instantly, Wade Barrett's music plays, and the cut to his Tron footage shows (if you look really hard) Natalya staggering to the back around the side. If you don't notice her, it looks like Wade Barrett is doing a run-in at the end of a Divas match, for some reason. That's funny all by itself.

Rant. AJ was adorable when she first came in, and many guys I know find her one of the most attractive Divas on the roster. Possibly one of the most attractive females in wrestling. I had a hard time looking at her last night because she's so thin that every rib pokes out. She looks anorexic, or at least extremely unhealthy. She was always tiny, but this was really uncomfortable to watch. No blame is being cast, but AJ needs to look like a healthy and athletic human being and not a skeletal clothes rack. Rant over.

Huzzah, Brodus Clay!!!

The GIF of the old lady at the soccer game is the greatest thing that I've seen today.

Somebody call my maaaama! Love the Earnest Miller gimmick, not sure how long term I'm going to like it on Brodus Clay. I'm starting to think that we waited this long for him to debut so he could learn the words of his song so he can sing along while dancing to the ring. Or perhaps for dance lessons. Absolutely love the old school fedora and Adidas gear. Not how I would've booked a guy like Brodus Clay, but highly entertaining nonetheless.

Clay was awesome. I agree, if he hadn't appeared to have as much fun with it as he did, I don't know how well it would have come across. But being an old school hiphop fan, and funk fan, this was entertaining and made me smile. I love his theme song, and his talking/banter/whatever throughout. Booty bumps… love'd it. I wonder if his dance team will remain as part of the regular entrance, or if it was a one-off. Somebody bettah call my momma! Stuck in my head all day…

Jericho was great. I wonder how long he can stretch out not speaking at all. Agree totally on his first words being after winning the Rumble.

Ricardo Rodriguez. If you don't love him now, then you have no soul.

I make no apologies for loving Brodus Clay's debut. I don't care who he ripped off. It was a total surprise, he looked like he was having a blast with it, and I was very entertained. "Oh, my bad!" before mowing someone down will catch on. I hereby acknowledge the change in Brodus Clay's name from "King Hippo" to "the Funkasaurus."

Edge. I was teary. His dvd comes out the day after my birthday. Supposedly, that's to tie in with the release of a WWE Studios movie that he's in. I just hope that they aren't inducting him early (instead of waiting until Mania returns to Canada, as I had read) just to tie in with the release of a WWE Studios film. Either way, he belongs there, and he is missed.

Not a great RAW, but there were some strong moments.

I don't think "veclempt" is word either, but Mike Myers would argue otherwise. First words should be after he wins the Royal Rumble (although WWE will likely make me sad and give it to a "surprise" returning Orton).

I HATED it. I was sitting on my couch chanting "Boring." I think I was more pissed off about the fact that it actually WAS Jericho than anything he did. I was hoping for WWE to swerve everybody. I didn't want the predictable outcome. Speaking of, the fire from under the ring thing has been done before. I saw it coming as soon as he came up from under the ring. I may have to buy "jadedwrestlingfan.com" because I think that's what this past Monday's RAW has made me into.

You certainly should! I've read so many negative comments about Jericho's return, and I honestly fail to see how it could be viewed as anything other than total genius. So many people expected the final payoff right then, and they're actually angry that they didn't get it. Instant gratification is not always the way to go. This way is so much better. There's still so much to find out, and the number of people who will watch the next show just to find out if he's going to say anything or explain the situation has to be huge. Chris Jericho is "The Continental" of WWE. Those skits started off kind of funny, then dragged on until they got pathetically bad, then continued on until they were really funny. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I may a tiny minority, but I really liked what they did with Kane. Kane and Taker are the only ones who can even attempt the supernatural stuff, and there is a time and place for that sort of thing. How is the fire shooting up from under the ring legal and following code at all? I have a little bit of knowledge of matters pyro, as I have crossed paths with a few licensed pyrotechs in a theatrical capacity, but I don't know enough to understand how that last bit could possibly have been cleared as safe. Does anyone have any input on that?

Jericho's return was a thing of genius. Not the vignettes. The actual appearance. He intentionally started slow with his entrance, and it seemed like the usual returning wrestler pop… then he made it lame…. then pretentious. He just kept going with all the cards in the deck until he left. Near the end some boos were heard. Why? Because he parodied his two returns in one shtick, and with a purpose made it sleazier and more manipulative with each second that passed. Fucking brilliant. Dare I say heeltastic?

I think I'd like to see/hear BWF's Ol' J.R. on that show. Great way to present to product to end the year!

Yeah, I loved the opening segment, and the PPV surprised me as well. Sure, there were moments that were completely out of left field and/or terrible… depending on what you like. Overall though, it's sad they didn't book this show with much enthusiasm. It was worth a buy.

Not sure about the Kane/Cena program. Feels like a holding-pattern program to keep Cena towards the ultimate goal of the Rock match.

Here's hoping we get a boxing match for no other reason than the obvious next Monday! Good review Justin!

I said in a previous episode of BWF Radio that I thought they'd have Bryan actually win the title at WrestleMania, so that they could re-do the Benoit/Guerrero thing, so they can try to replace that visual. Of course, I also brought up the possibility of Bryan walking out of TLC with the title on this past Sunday's episode. That happened.

I very much enjoyed RAW. I'm a very happy WWE fan right now. I think all of the people with titles are the people that deserve to have them. Zack Ryder EARNED his US Championship. A year ago he wasn't being used at all, so he went out and made a name for himself. Daniel Bryan and CM Punk EARNED their championships by toiling in ROH and proving to everybody that they are some of the best wrestlers in the world. Hell, Punk took home 5 BWF awards yesterday including Wrestler of the Year.

I found myself smiling as RAW came to a close tonight. Hopefully I still will be by the next episode of BWF Radio on January 8th.

I know it's like a week late.. but I just tuned in to this particular little radio programme, and a few things.

One) JBL held the title for nine months before Cena's long reign of over a year (just thought I'd throw that in there)
Two) There's nothing wrong with 'hot-potatoing' the title as it was put. Remember when The Rock and Mankind were feuding late-1998 to WM 1999. I thought that was well done throughout. It helped get mankind over once again, and it made the massive Corporation look weak at times, which is what's needed. So personally, there's nothing wrong with it.. if it's done right.

Just a few of my thoughts.. nice to see there's no editing, and it's a lot easier than that time I tried it over.. was it MSN Messenger? and I had to type and edit the whole thing.. that was a pain. This was not. Good work.. keep it up!

Comment on Impact Wrestling–Promodown to Final Resolution by Drowgoddess

Drowgoddess — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 02:40:29 +0000

James Storm's promo was magnificent, and the high point of an otherwise skippable, if not outright painful, show. Look at his eyes during that promo, they're absolutely blazing. THIS is what happens when a wrestler is allowed to find and define his own persona, and speak from the heart instead of from a script.

The Knockouts division is still all about Karen Jarrett. Until that changes, I do not care what happens.

Devon's "kids" are not seven years old. That they are still being described by the announcers, and behaving, as young and impressionable children is pathetic and sad.

Not, however, as pathetic and sad the opening segment with Dixie Carter was. Leaving the wrestling fan part of me aside for a moment, and speaking purely as a female, that segment was more offensive than the trash with the Knockouts washing cars. Dixie, the supposed head of the company and person in charge of everything, looked terrified and sad, as though she were about to burst into tears at any moment. She never said a word, and allowed Sting to speak for her. She was treated like a delicate creature in need of protection. As much as I loathe and despise Stephanie McMahon with an unholy, fiery passion of burning, there's no way that she would ever have allowed herself to be portrayed on tv as so weak, ineffective, and generally out of her element as Dixie was here. If anything, Dixie looked like a complete joke who has no business being involved with a wrestling company in any capacity. Then again, that may have been the point all along, and she just didn't realize it.

I think you are certainly getting better at reviewing Impact Wrestling, and can agree it is a hell of a whirlwind to attempt to review. In many ways, I enjoyed it more than Smackdown this week. You found much more silver lining in the Knockouts than I could have commented on, for example. I also like your division of make = Sting and no makeup = Steve.

I really enjoyed the Roode family interviews. At first, not so much, but as they progressed it became clear how they were developing his character and providing an answer to how he could go 180 from face to heel. In fact, by the end of the show (watched over two evenings, so maybe that influenced me), I looked at it as possibly one of the highlights of the year. Very well done.

The Rob Van Dam match was depressing to watch. First off, there were three guys named Rob involved here. BOO! RVD used to be one of my absolute favorite wrestlers. At this point, he's mailing it in. Depressing.

Austin Aries and Kid Kash might be a bit early, but I'm just going to enjoy the interplay for what it is. Best part of the show, IMO.

The clause "Steve" put on Jarrett getting involved in the mainevent was that there would be negative implications towards Jarrett if he interfered. Ok… so… obviously this was a predictable run in waiting to happen… but WTF? The implications end up being that Jarrett faces Hardy, and as you note, if Jarrett wins Hardy is gone… but if Hardy wins, he gets a title shot. So Steve is basically giving Jarrett the opportunity to finalize what he has been petitioning for in the first place? WTF? Yes, I realize Hardy is going to win (and hate this aspect too), but HOW ON EARTH IS THIS A NEGATIVE IMPLICATION?!?!?

Great review Mr. Pintnoir. We need to get you on the new BWF Radio before the PPV with Drowgoddess so the three of us can run down the card if possible. Hit up the facebook group and let's see if we can make that happen?

Also, I will be posting this identical comment on both sites. Great review, dude!

2. Twitter knows all.

5. I never was able to get that cassette since my family liked good pizza when I was a kid. Fortunately I still have my two DVD's that that franchise gave away as a promotion about 7 years ago. The first film was epic. The second was fun, but did not age well. I still have my original Eastman and Laird issues in near mint.

8. I sincerely hope that Mick is good. Part of me worries they will try to make him look bad because of his TNA tenure.

6. They went out on a concert tour to promote the album. The first show was at Radio City Music Hall and broadcast on PPV and released on video. You can find it on YouTube if you're so inclined.

7. He was Champion at Night of Champions in September, when he lost it to Henry. Henry defended it against Orton at Hell In A Cell in October. So about 2 months.

His ROH heel run was glorious. "I have til 5, referee!" If they actually stayed with him on it, I think that he'd be a great heel. Against whom, though? Big Show? Orton? I don't see a sustained push against either of them. Who else would work?

I kind of like the promise he would wait until Mania to cash it in… but he already pulled that card this week. As a result, I have to assume that something is in the works that will ruin that angle… or will it actually ruin it? My thought is that this would be one hell of a dick-move, and a great way to turn him heel as a result. I don't know how well he would fare as a baddie… but that is more in the hands of the company and how they present it. Maybe we should debate this on BWF Radio episode #2?

Yes, his heel beard would most definitely rule. Didn't he say that he'd grow the beard until he won the title, though? I thought that he said that. I'm not sure about Daniel Bryan being the one turning heel, though. Remember that he had stuck to his resolution to cash in at Mania until Big Show started pushing him to do it now? It could easily look like Big Show wanted Daniel Bryan to get the title off of Mark Henry because Big Show thought that beating Daniel Bryan would be easier than beating Mark Henry. That Big Show kept harping on cashing in now just seemed odd, and it stuck in my mind.

I would love to see Bryan lose on Tuesday. Have him look like a write off. Then after the chair match between Show and Henry at the TLC PPV, have Show win over Henry…. leading to a heel turn by Bryan as he cashes in, and wins over his "buddy." That would freshen up his character. As much as I have enjoyed Henry as champion, I'm sure the WWE is going to switch the titles at some point anyways, and an angle like that would elevate Bryan to a level he and the WWE needs him to be. Plus with that beard, he'd rule as a heel

So we can only assume that Daniel Bryan will not win against Mark Henry next week? Because that was shocking to see him win. Even if it was only 90 seconds. Hopefully they will give him more layers similar to what was done in ROH. But Smackdown is looking good.

Comment on Things I’m Thankful For-Wrestling Edition by ThinkSoJoE

ThinkSoJoE — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 08:34:19 +0000

I'm late, but here goes.

1. All of you guys and girls here at BoredWrestlingFan.com. If it weren't for the amazing staff I have here I probably would've gotten bored with, and killed off, this project a long time ago. I consider each and every one of you a friend and I'm proud to have you all on board here at BWF.

2. CM Punk. The top seller of merchandise in the WWE and deservedly so. The fact that he's finally the WWE Champion and it looks like he may have a decent run with the belt this time around is icing on the cake for the man who has undoubtedly been the hottest commodity in all of professional wrestling since this past summer.

3. Zack Ryder's push. I started watching the Z! True Long Island Story around episode 10 and haven't missed one since. I'm wondering what Zack's Dad is going to do now that John Morrison most likely doesn't work for the WWE anymore.

4. Twitter. Not the #WWE #RAW #TheyreForcingThisCrapOnUs twitter stuff, but the wrestling FANS on twitter, and the wrestlers themselves. The fans, because when I'm on a bus on Sunday nights heading to work and can't watch the Pay Per Views, I know exactly what's going on because of the wrestling fans I follow on Twitter. The wrestlers, because a lot of them like to interact with the fans. Over the past several months I've gotten responses from Honky Tonk Man, Blue Meanie, Taz, JBL, Mick Foley, John Cena, and Hulk Hogan – and those are just the ones I can think of at the moment, I'm sure there's more.

5. ROH finally being on television in my market without having to pay extra for the channel it's on. Hell, I could get rid of cable and still choose between Saturday and Sunday viewing of ROH. Now, if only someone would buy them some damned lights and make it look like a show that belongs on network television. ECW was on at 2 in the morning on MSG, they could get away with dimly lit arenas.

6. Cody Rhodes finally breaking out of his shell. The days of "Boring" Cody Rhodes are long gone, and he's become a great part of WWE Television over the last year or so. Speaking of…

7. Mark Henry, World Heavyweight Champion. The period of time between this past WWE Draft and now has been Mark Henry's best work, period. He's been there 15 years, and he's finally looking like the dominant force that he's always had the potential to be. I'm proud to say that I was in the arena cheering him on when he finally won the title at Night of Champions, and I'm glad he's been booked as a strong champion.

Drowgoddess — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 01:47:27 +0000

I already posted this on the illustrious Mr. Ruff's site, but I'll add it on here as well.

I agree with you on so many of these that creating an entirely separate list will be challenging.

What am I thankful for in the world of wrestling? Ring of Honor, CHIKARA, and SHIMMER are definitely on my list, as are CM Punk, Sheamus, and Mark Henry’s title reign. As those have already been mentioned, I think that the remainder of my list would read:

1. The Bored Wrestling Fan site and crew: The original gangstas got together on another site, and then launched into our own little corner of the internet. While my actual involvement in terms of writing contributions has varied over the past year or so, the camaraderie has never waned. ThinkSoJoe, JT, Gee, Legend Killer, pintnoir, AlyKat, and the master of this very site, Mr. Ruff, are all people whom I consider to be friends, even if we’ve never met in person. I heart you guys!

2. Justin Gabriel, Drew McIntyre, and Kofi Kingston: RAWR! Yummy. That’s why.

3. Zack Ryder’s internet success: Though it may have spawned Vince’s Twitter obsession, I’m quite thankful that Ryder’s internet video series helped propel him to a higher spot on the WWE ladder. That it was all of his own creation makes it even better. The whole story is just such a great one, that when the so-called creative team has nothing for you, you go out and get yourself over on your own. You know, as was originally intended.

4. Dragon Gate USA: I’ve yet to watch a boring show from these people, and love having it as an alternative. How can anyone NOT love Hollywood Stalker Ichikawa, Masato Yoshino, PAC, or YAMATO? Speaking of….

5. YAMATO: As the DGUSA champ for most of this year, he has been glorious to watch in the ring. [SPOILER ALERT] Now that he’s no longer the champ, I’m very curious to see what he does.

6. Austin Aries: I’ve been a huge fan of his for years, and his run as X-Division champion in TNA has given us one of the few watchable segments on the show. While I hate that he has to be part of such a sinking ship because WWE would not choose him for an NXT season, I am glad that he has been able to showcase his athletic and performance skills so well in TNA. Now, if only they would just let Alex Shelley feud with him instead of the weird 4-way that has been going on….

7. Cheerleader Melissa, Ayako Hamada, Daffney, MsChif, Natalya, Beth Phoenix, and Amazing Kong/Kharma: For existing, and for not being Divas, regardless of the company for which they work. These are all wrestlers worthy of respect by any standard, and athletes that I, as a female fan, can actually enjoy.

Next?

Well, I took a few notes during RAW tonight for the podcast tomorrow, and Drow, you nailed one of them right there. We'll definitely get in depth with that one.

Sin Cara. Where do I start? THIS guy was the biggest Luchador in Mexico? He's the sloppiest lucha libre style worker I think I've ever seen – and I watched WCW in the mid-to-late 90s. I was excited for Mistico to come to WWE, but after seeing him a couple of times, the only time I liked Sin Cara after his debut was when Hunico was under the mask. And we all know Hunico isn't going anywhere, except maybe the unemployment line, because they're not doing shit with him except sticking him with a gimmick TNA has done to death.

Did I hear Booker T call Zack Ryder "Z-Ry?" I guess that begs the question, what the hell happened to Alex Riley?

Anyways, I digress. I'll agree with you 100% Justin, this RAW was solid until the end completely ruined it.

Comment on Twitter Presents… Monday Night Raw by Drowgoddess

Drowgoddess — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 05:10:03 +0000

I absolutely despised the ending. Awesome Truth has never been allowed to look very strong against Super Cena, and certainly not against both him and the Rock. That said, Cena's promo essentially destroyed any shred of credibility that either the Miz or R-Truth may have had. "You're trying so hard to make people see you as a credible threat, and you aren't." Wow, that's going to make people want to pay to see either of them do anything. And then, they fall for Cena's trick and implode, destroying a tag team (or at least an association) that still had quite a lot to offer. I'm not a Cena-hater, and I've learned to let go of most of the things that anger or bore me about wrestling. I've tried to enjoy it for what it is. That ending, however, left me absolutely livid.

As you were.

6. I loved JR dancing. The whole segment may have been an abomination, but I refuse to deny the gloriousness of that one part.

8. I've said it before, and I still mean it. Cody's blending the best aspects of the "Dashing" Cody Rhodes character with the "Phantom of the Wrestling Ring" persona, and it could be the best thing he's done yet. I loved the Dr. Doom voice as much as anyone, and it isn't totally gone. The whole thing is clearly a work in progress, and he hasn't quite reached the mark yet. Even if I really am the only one on BWF who likes where this is going, I do concur that judging it now is premature.

12. Actually, I don't mind it. The NXT contest part of the show is poor, but it gives time to Tyson Kidd, Trent Barretta, Yoshi Tatsu and other guys who never get much time on the main shows to have matches. So, there is about 15 minutes worth watching… and this ties into point number 2 in your list.

You know I probably didn't give all the show as fair a shake as I normally would, wasn't kidding about the work stuff (I very much like doing these like a live honest journal). AJ is enthusiastic, but not sure where I stand on her. Her build is so petite and non-threatening. It would work better if they went the Mickey Whipwreck route with her, perhaps? Or something similar.

Overall, Smackdown exemplifies so many things that are wrong with RAW. We all know, and have discussed this a bit. After the fallout from Survivor Series, and depending what actually happens, we should get to this on the radio show this week perhaps.

I enjoyed the parts of the show that did not involve Orton or Aksana.

Justin Gabriel IS dreamy. That can be said now that he's apparently not with my nemesis any longer, and has recovered from the psychological trauma that affected his judgement.

Big Show is at his finest like this. Playful and happy most of the time, but able to get menacingly quiet and serious when the need arises.

I wanted to mention this on the podcast, as I seem to be the only person holding this opinion, but I really like where Cody Rhodes seems to be going. Sure, his Dr. Doom voice was great, but he seems to be working at combining the best elements of "Dashing" Cody Rhodes and his Phantom of the Wrestling Ring persona. It's clearly a work in progress, but I've enjoyed the past two weeks of it. The paper bag bit was what really hurt him.

Despite the flak that I give most of the Divas, and certainly the NXT ones, I genuinely like AJ and find her the most talented and interesting by a mile. Natalya was absolutely brutal with that Sharpshooter, and I wish that more time had been devoted to replaying that moment and making it seem like a bigger, more dangerous deal than they did.

Just finished the final 1/2 hour of this episode this morning. One plus is that they booked a PPV mainevent with many weeks to spare. TNA normally misses this bus, so I have to give them credit here. I still feel that the Roode/Storm program is the inevitable end result, but Angle's loss to Storm and the collapse of Fourtune are the loose strings that will get us there.

Way too many security pull aparts on this show. I too was confused by the Devon/Pope storyline reboot. Wasn't this resolved? I didn't mind the Knockouts, there were some decent spots between Tara and Mickie who can both wrestle when given a decent opponent. I do completely agree that the music they play at the end of the show is ridiculous and kills any serious mood one should have when that is the point of the final segment.

I knew that there was another Colon in the 'E, but didn't realize Epico was his name going forward into this angle.

As for Matt Dawgs, I've been reluctantly scrolling through his stuff lately. In part due to his lack of spoiler warnings, and in part due to his gimmick being kind of lackluster with Impact lately…. if he posts anything at all. I realize that I am just as guilty as anyone of being jaded. But Impact isn't THAT terrible. I think I've come to accept the show for what it is. Austin Aeries and Kid Kash are brilliant lately, BTW.

I still remember when the H-Core's were shitting all over the Black album back in the day (I'm guessing you gents and ladies probably heard that too). It's funny with music pioneers… you invent a genre (or make it famous). Then if you decide to play within new genres, you're a sellout. But if you stick with the same thing over and over again, you're an uninspired hack. Meh. Metallica has nothing to prove, or apologize for. I might criticize them in the future, and you can call me on it… at the end of the day, I'm more interested in their evolution regardless if I like it personally. Haven't heard the new stuff, but I'm sure some people were up in arms over Johnny Cash's version of Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage" from the Unchained album.

Indeed Birthday Randomness shall happen! My DVR recorded the episode of ROH but I must've blindly deleted it. I liked Load because me unlike most Metallica fans actually listen to the albums in whole before crapping on them. Hell I like the St. Anger album. I found out about Epico thru the WWI site since Matt Dawgs has been reporting about him in his article every week. I'm surprised you guys already didn't know about him.

2. I don't think they do remember, actually.

6. I remember when Metallica fans called "Load" the worst one of their albums.

10. I don't understand what the WWE is doing with this storyline, but agree that him cashing it in would have been a loss.

1. Finally, somebody agrees with me about this past Monday's RAW. Though, I'm not surprised it's you, JT, since we're pretty much identical. Which reminds me – Birthday Randomness next week!

2. I'm very VERY surprised they didn't drop them on SmackDown. Monday, I guess.

7. I recorded it but I haven't watched it yet. I may give it a shot when I get home if I'm awake enough. Which I probably won't be since I've been up for 17 hours right now and still have 7 1/2 hours left of work.

9. I was going to say that I KNEW Epico had to be a Colon, since he looked almost identical to Primo.

No doubt. Thank goodness for Smackdown and ROH as of late. I am generally entertained by Impact and RAW, but not always for the right reasons. I don't think either of them are going to continue this way for the unforeseeable future, but it's difficult at moments when you tune in to just a match and get confusion and anarachy. I somehow missed that Aksana bit, maybe my thumb was a little heavy on the recording. Unless the reference was on commentary, which I have very little ability to listen to because of the Cole factor. It's like reverse Pavlov with him.

While I have plenty of problems with tonight's show, I actually enjoyed the majority of it… but your review literally made me laugh out loud this week. Especially your choice of images and punchlines within. The KKK one and the bottle ones especially. I loved the part of the episode with Kash talking about wanting to get a knife and cut up Sorenson. I mentioned it elsewhere, but wanted to note the following: I would LOVE to see Kash hit a spike-piledriver on Sorenson and yell "Touchdown" immediately afterwards…

That all did seem secondary. Survivor Series was treated as an after thought. But when it comes to gimmicked shows WWE has had a long history with that. Just look up the pumpkin toss from 1986 when the heels took on the faces. But yeah have to agree spending 50 bucks to watch a PPV that wasn't really given much planning is an insult.

_G_ — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 13:52:33 +0000

As a stand alone show, yes I did enjoy it. My criticism of having the Muppets on a Halloween show stems from the idea that if they were targeting the kid demographic with their presence, it seems a little short sighted to have this occur on a night where kids are not likely to be at home, they're out trick or treating. For the older demographic who are at home handing out the candy, and grew up watching the Muppets, it was fun to watch. They delivered some of the segments that were no-brainers like Sheamus/Beaker and Vickie/Piggy, and used Santino's comedy role perfectly.

And yes, there was lots of action and the wrestling and wrestlers worked hard. No argument there.

My issues are going forward. We did not get our Cole/JR segment (half the reason I wanted to watch, after wanting to see how they were going to use the Muppets). All we got was more cheap shots at JR. If you enjoyed that part, I guess we will have to agree to disagree on that regard.

None of the outcomes of tonight make me want to watch Survivor Series though. They've still got time to change my mind building towards it.

Vince may have painted himself into a corner only hiring models and ignoring actual female wrestlers that bust their but day in and day out on the independent circuit, but otherwise its really his open disdain for them that is sad to watch.

Otherwise the show was decent I just wish they would take the divas off my screen, not internet backed just my own personal bias when I watch a battle royal and you can get thrown through the middle rope and it still counts as an elimination? Its sports entertainment equivalent of Softball compared to Baseball. Otherwise more Muppet interaction.

I won't lie, I'm Muppets fan from long ago as a little mark. So I did enjoy how they were used as a one-off… but I say that on the level as entertainment, not building the show and wrestlers themselves.

If everything not involving a Muppet was cut out and shown like a throw-back 80's Halloween special, the little kid in me would have LOVED to have watched this show…. But if it was actually on on Halloweed IN the eighties, I would have been trick or treating. "it's candy time… I'm missing nothing important other than Muppets," I'd think to myself. Candy would have taken priority over life itself at, let's say anywhere between 3 and 11 years old?

Why does the Rock need to tag with Cena when Cena took out both of his competitors tonight? It's kind of like what Kevin Nash says about wanting to break his contract with TNA and return in last year's Rumble. I've heard him say a number of times he was billed to come back and team with Angle, but then saw Angle take out all of the opposition stable… so why would Angle therefore need Nash?

WWE has been TNA'ing themselves lately just as much as Impact.

Meanwhile, at ROH….

Drowgoddess — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 05:10:40 +0000

I'm so glad to know that someone else had the same thoughts about "WWE doctors" and their diagnoses that I had upon hearing that line.

We're back to this again with Beth and Natalya? I've never understood it, and I still don't. Why are they dressing up and being model-y, when that's what they profess to despise? Why do they talk instead of destroy? Granted, I have absolutely LOVED the submission hold that forces the Barbie dolls to scream and cry. The problem is that it has been too little, too late. Good booking would have made Eve afraid, or at least wary, of confronting those two at all, let alone by herself. As it stands, Beth and Natalya haven't been portrayed as that much of a threat in terms of actions. They really shouldn't be talking much at all, and simply tearing people apart. That IS the story that the announcers keep telling us that we're seeing. I'm just not seeing it.

Dolph is fantastic. I never thought that I would enjoy him as much as I do. Two matches in a ppv. That's quite a nod to him.

I agree entirely with everything that you said about Cody Rhodes and his promo ability. If he could just make the laugh sound less forced, he'd be just about perfect. Orton is even more painfully lacking in comparison. Unfortunately, no one cares.

A thousand times "yes" on the mask versus mask match. That should have been the main event, hands down. The terrible storytelling that brought us to that point is hardly the fault of the wrestlers, and if they were going to have the match purely because they were in Mexico, why not pull out all of the stops and blow the roof off of the place?

Shakin' my head. (No gimmick infringement intended.)

Comment on Impact Wrestling 10/20 – Pintnoir review by _G_

_G_ — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 18:34:44 +0000

There was just over 9 minutes of actual wrestling on this episode!

In all fairness, the first three talking segments were necessary to address… at some point. First, Hogan's return to the "old version" had to be discussed. There's ten minutes. And since Hogan ceded control of TNA (what happened to the Network?), the return of power to Dixie needed to be talked about too. But why tonight? Seriously, build her appearance to next week and hype it. Let the Network book tonight's show in a position of temporary power, which could be the opening segment of the show the following week. Have her appear and announce that she will book the show until someone else is deemed more appropriate (yes, it would be like RAW, I know)… give it a week or two… then announce Sting and/or Hogan in the role. Hogan would be better, and it could play off of Immortal chasing him for three weeks.

The confrontation between Angle and Roode was also necessary, and this face off could have closed the show. Keep the contract stip, but have no resolution. Have Roode and/or Storm go at Angle, then have D-Lo, Snow, etc do the pull apart as we fade to black. People would want to see what's going on next week.

Again, if they spanned these three promos out this would all still work. You could have Roode and/or Storm cut a promo on Angle next week (who shouldn't even show up) about being a coward, hiding behind stipulations. Here you could have Storm challenge Angle to show up the next week and address his challenge. Remember, with my proposal there is still no one in charge.

In the third week, have Angle show up and deny Storm of his challenge to open week 3. More confrontation with no resolution (trust me with this). At the end of this show, have Dixie appoint Sting and/or Hogan as in charge of Impact, leaving another cliffhanger where viewers are left wanting to see what this new era of TNA will bring in week 4.

Finally in week 4, NOW you have Hogan/Sting book Storm and Angle for the next PPV.

Instead, they crammed it all into the first 40 minutes of the show. Meh.

Comment on Bound For Glory- A Rant by Drowgoddess

Drowgoddess — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 00:10:56 +0000

I'm so buying you a round because you watched this.

I agree with you on almost every point. That the once-proud Knockouts division has now become a vehicle for Velvet Sky is flat-out sad. How long has it been since any of the women on the show had something to do other than shout "bitch," "slut," and "whore" at each other, or speak in degrading sexual terms of one another? I can't remember either. I enjoy Madison Rayne in small doses, but even she wrestles circles around Sky. Honestly, we're supposed to side with someone who gets taken to task for being cheap, slutty trash just minutes after said someone makes a bump-and-grind entrance on the ring rope that would make many people uncomfortable? Uh huh.

No wonder that Samoa Joe is rumored to be reaching out to WWE. They're ignoring him, insisting that he's too fat and sloppy to ever look like a Superstar. Then they push Brodus Clay. Go figure. If the Usos get fired over the DUI of one of them, then perhaps WWE will consider taking Joe anyway. How much worse could it really get for him?

I have not felt so repuled and ill in a very long time as I did when I read that Roode was scheduled to win, but Hogan got the finish changed at the last minute because HE doesn't think that Roode is ready or is The Man. WHAT THE HELL????? That makes me want to kill things. Orange, wrinkly things. And other things that listen to those things.

I agree. Ryder's success on the interwebs had long ago proven he's got lots of charisma. And after some significant television time in matches, he's looking better and better as an inring performer. I'm still concerned he might be hampered, by default, as a so-called "internet darling" among the top tier (see: Vince). Ironically, his internet success came while employed by the company, using a character they own. That bickering with Cole and Booker suggested to me that "someone" was yelling into Cole's headset.

Nonetheless, Robbie E is not even in Ryder's league at this point. For a brief stint early on, Robbie was good for a parody role. But how far can one go with a parody. Ryder now has the benefit of depth of character, and an actual fan following outside of the normal product. If the WWE is smart, they should not muck with it one bit. I wouldn't push him beyond a possible U.S. or I.C. title picture. Let him work with that crew for a while and continue to develop.

Zach Ryder is the man. He just really put effort into his character. Which makes his counter part in TNA so depressing. The mid-carders make the brand what it is. If Vince only paid more attention to it like in the 90's. Again good review of a possible clusterfug of a show. After Monday nothing could be worse.

So little has felt special about anything except for Bobby Roode's title hunt, and then Hogan has to go and have an interview where he says, just days before the most important ppv that the company has, that Roode isn't ready. Roode isn't the man around whom the company should be built as a top babyface. The person Hogan feels should have that position? Jeff Hardy. Yup. That's not even defensible as kayfabe, that's essentially saying, "Don't buy this ppv." ANd they'll still wonder why no one does.

This didn't quite feel like a go-home show for what they portray as their "WrestleMania." It wasn't terrible either. The opening was excellent, more so from Roode's promo than Angle's. Perhaps Angle was to be portrayed as a cocky heel in order to make Roode's win more important? I don't know. Disagreed with the booking of a handicapped match, unless, again, that was the point. Brother Love booked this build, so I will wait and see.

Hated the finish of the X-Division match, but otherwise was a fun watch.

As much as I think that Angle/Roode and Daniels/Styles will deliver, I can't justify paying for this Sunday's show.

I am much more curious how the change with Russo will affect next week's episode more than the PPV. This will be the first episode in lieu of this event.

Comment on ThinkSoJoE’s Thoughts – just stop already. by _G_

There's a number of articles about this current story arch on the BWF currently, which is actually a good thing… but commenting on all of them would involve copy/paste redundancy… so I'll just do it here.

I do agree, the opening was entertaining. Why? Because I've never seen that before. Even amid the many plot issues that got us to this point, the impromptu approach to make a show happen was enjoyable. I also thought that Cena, Sheamus, and Punk all gave reasonable and fairly logical explanations as to why they would side with HHH. Not perfect, but still true to their history and characters. Punk is, and will continue to be, a face to the WWE universe for some time to come whether we like it or not. The guy is leading sales at the WWE shopzone, and we all know that the WWE doesn't shy away from dollar signs. Sheamus is an enigma to me, I don't understand how his turn happened. Whatever, I can deal with it. And all negativity aside, he's been very good at it. And John Cena is… well…

There was a way they could have done this rushed, haphazard storyline better last night. In a perfect world, ROH would have invaded and volunteered to perform for the crowd. But we all know that would never happen. The next best alternative? Or should I say, the NXT best alternative would have been to use the rookies in that role. It would need a very simple explanation. These guys are fighting just to get the opportunity to be on the show, and if the hippies in the parking lot can't handle the job, they are more than willing to work.

I realize that it would be a huge gamble for the WWE to have an entire episode featuring the few NXT guys, and wouldn't expect them to go for the entire 2 hours. But why not take the opportunity to put some new guys over? God forbid… I could fantasy book the show for the next year, but I think that would be pushing it. Let Sheamus and Cena finish their match. 20 minutes filled. NXT guys come out (there's only two really left) and Titus and Bateman (face versus heel) cut their offer to join, then have a match. 20 more minutes covered. Punk could be joined on commentary by Sheamus, Cena, or HHH. Doesn't matter, just let them do colour and Punk could easily carry the load on play by play.
For the final quarter of the first hour, you could easily have some cuts to the rally in the parking lot and interview the guys about their grievances. Then… ugghh… have McMahon come out to start the second hour (they were going to do this regardless).

Instead we get McMahon cutting the Sheamus/Cena match off almost immediately and the rest is a crappy show. Seriously…. they could have salvaged a little bit, given some new guys time, and maybe even taken something positive out of this rushed angle…

Long live ROH!

I don't know if I am at the same level of disdain for the current product, but you made many valid points here. I have yet to catch tonight's RAW, but have this suspicion I am going to be upset with it. They are focused on rushing things out so much lately, as you note, and that is where they really need to stop. Get editorial though, I hope ROH has been pleasing you (yes, I know you have to watch online).

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode of the relaunched ROH. It felt a little ad heavy at times, but I have to forgive that in lieu of the new eyes on the product, as well as directing old eyes towards the future. Nana was in fine form, and sold Ciampa as a threat.

I didn't expect to see a championship match so early into the launch, but it was a great TV match. It's a shame the time slots are muddled amid the markets that receive the show. Let's hope as time progresses that changes too.

Please tell me that you plan to keep it in a little jar, name it, and keep it on your bedside table. Seriously, happy thoughts and well-wishes in your direction, and hopefully this will all be behind you soon.

3. As happy as I am to see this happen, it's not the magic bullet that many people believe it to be. TNA has quite a lot of issues to overcome, two of which just re-signed contracts.

8. I feel sorrier for their mother.

What? Really? Booker/Rhodes? God help us… I guess I will have to try and remain open to it actually being decent, but I agree this doesn't sound like something I want to see at this point.

The funny thing is that I would rather hear Henry and Show talk, but watch Orton and Christian wrestle. I am turned off completely by Orton's promo's lately. He might as well just appear as a "tweet" and get that crap off the television. I have little confidence or desire to shell out for the big men when they face off as well. It's too bad we can't genetically splice the positives of these three together and create a fantastic talent, huh?

Finally, it's nice to hear from my favorite Drow. I miss that Goddess!

As much as I despise Booker T on commentary, I really don't want to see him wrestle again either. I've read rumors that he'll feud with Cody Rhodes. If the only reason that Cody brought back the original IC title belt was for Booker to get it, I shall be quite miffed.

Spot on about Beth and Natalya. This match is what the past two months should have been like. While I freely admit to loathing Kelly Kelly with an unholy fiery passion of burning, since she is now the be-all and end-all of the Divas division, and must be Cena-esque in her presentation, how can anyone not see that her chasing the dominant heels who destroyed her and took her title, only to be thwarted at every turn by their physical superiority, makes a much more interesting and compelling story for her, as well as for her fans?

Jeebus, Orton bores me! Why is he so popular?

The Show/Henry promo exchange was great. One of the best in some time. Henry is a better talker than I ever would have given him credit for. Was this in him all the time, or is he channeling fifteen years of frustration? Actually being able to ignore the HHH/power struggle storyline for five minutes was refreshing.

Comment on Russo steps down! by Drowgoddess

Drowgoddess — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 04:16:14 +0000

I'd certainly like to hope for the best, and if Pritchard is behind Bobby Roode's push, then we're off to a good start. At least he has a wrestling-related background as an actual performer. That said, word around the campfire is that most of the TNA locker room is uneasy about Pritchard getting so much power so early in his TNA tenure, and his reputation for politics and manipulation in WWE concerns people. That Hogan and Bischoff were re-signed, even after two years of doing absolutely nothing for the company, never bothering to even promote it (particularly Hogan), and cheerfully accepting substantial pay checks from TNA while quite publicly putting all of their time and effort into outside projects, signals loudly and clearly that nothing about the grand scheme of things will change.

I hope I'm wrong. I sincerely do. Little would please me more than TNA being a consistently good show. I just believe that the people who view Russo's demotion as the end of all of TNA's problems are mistaken.

I agree here. If Hogan was really focused on making the product better and not putting himself over, maybe he could add to the product. I just don't think he knows how to do that.

Bischoff on the other hand, I don't mind. In fact, if they are going to have a non-wrestling authority figure, he's a pretty decent candidate… although I think pushing Cornette away is their loss and ROH's massive gain.

Brother Love is being reported to be the guy behind the Bobby Roode push over the last 5 weeks. So things are already looking better!

Storm and Roode opening the show was great! It helped build both the title program with Angle, as well as their "semi-main event" for the evening. Hey look Ma! NO RUN-INS! The Roode video package later in the show was awesome, and I would not mind seeing these continue up to the PPV. I enjoyed the match… but sadly, they saved the run-ins with Angle's attack on Storm. Why would Angle even bother? Isn't it in his best interest to let them beat each other into a bloody pulp?

Will the announcers at Bound for Glory call Bully Ray and Mr. Anderson's bout as a "Philadelphia Falls Count Frickin' Anywhere Match"? I thought Bully Ray was even better in his role opposite the contrived delivery of Ken. Bully's interview later with Wayne Arnold was gold.

I loved Kid Kash's beat down on the garble-mouthed Kendrick backstage. For a short segment, I felt it portrayed Kash's character perfectly as a no-nonsense heel. He slapped the THC right out of his mouth!

Some guy named Hank Higgins, retired tonight. Never heard of him… but I did notice the legendary Murphy in one of Higgin's TNA highlight videos. Murphy's ability to occupy space on camera… well, it just gives me shivers thinking about it.

All in all, I enjoyed watching this week. I wasn't thrilled about anything involving Crimson or Gunner (I never am), but I did like the way Pintnoir broke it down.

I think the idea behind it – and also the reason to show the ending of the PPV on RAW – was that the ringside cameramen feel as though they're in danger after being assaulted by Awesome Truth at HIAC. Nobody's beaten up the production crew or the boom camera operator, and thus they're less likely to walk out that the ringside crew.

Comment on Raw Is Chaos 10-3-11 by _G_

Overall, I found the show ok. The ending was clearly the part that left the show feeling up in the air, which is good. It makes me want to watch the other shows, as well as RAW next week. So with that, a job well done.

As much as I really enjoyed the visuals of the camera men putting down their cameras, this was the only part that was lost on me. With other cameras remaining on, and someone in the production truck changing the angles, it kind of failed to imply that even the crew was all walking out. Only some of them did. While J.R. seems like the best choice as the last to leave, it should have been the crew. After J.R. leaves, start putting cameras down and after a couple of them, cut to static or a blank screen. I know I'm nitpicking, but I think that would have been a better ending.

I very much enjoyed RAW and I'll say it again – the point of good television is to get the people to want to tune in next week to see what happens. Hell, I almost want to tune into NXT on .com tomorrow to see if any of the fallout from RAW takes place there, so this show definitely did it's job. Can't wait to see where they go with this.

3) Your deep seated hatred for Josh Prohibition, who is all types of awesome and trained a shitload of people on this card, (including Gregory Iron) irks me, but it's beside the point.

4) The heel announcer actually has a deep history with Faith in Nothing (he was their manager), which he was playing to. Including the end where he didn't speak at all, only coming back to mention 'Think he needs an agent' to cover up how much this match really bothered him. The moments of

No doubt. I wouldn't mind returning on occasion, so if you find yourself in a spot or just need to get your head in check for a week, let me know. There is some really decent new movements amid the… well… crap on the show. The X-Division is better. It's not where I'd like to see it, but the additions of new blood and veterans like Aries and Kash is excellent. Roode being elevated and the LACK of the cliche breaking of the Beer Money team being broken up is refreshing. I'd like to think that if they ever pull the trigger on a Redneck Jesus/Roode feud, it's a long slow build. In fact, if Roode wins the title, I'd just like to see Storm enter, hug his bro, and raise his hand. Nothing more, nothing less. Just a happy moment on a show that is riddled with negative anger.

The last thing that I want to see is another win for Randy Orton or Kelly Kelly, but I agree with you guys that we are likely to get both. I like the Sin Cara vs. Sin Cara feud, and if you're a fan of the Japanese series of "Kamen Rider" shows (yeah, I'm really letting my geek show), it's an exact copy of a Kamen Rider vs. a Dark Rider story, but in a wrestling ring. I can't help but love that.

Between Cena, Orton, Kelly, and HHH, my interest in WWE has waned severely. I'm saving some cash for a few DGUSA videos, particularly the YAMATO vs. Austin Aries main event that was said to be epic. I watch the programming, but most of the content is either fast-forwarded or used as background noise while cleaning. I'm so disappointed with the E. They really seemed to be going somewhere positive.

There's the reason I can't justify spending money on this particular PPV. I am much more interested in the Bobby Roode/Kurt Angle program in Impact Wrestling than anything in the WWE right now. That match is fresh, and has the potential to truly make a guy. Orton needs to lose clean, but like you note (and sadly I agree), it isn't going to happen.

4. I do believe they're going to be offering it as a premium channel, a la HBO. However, I've also heard that they're toying with the idea of giving you the big four PPVs on the channel without having to pay extra for the events themselves, so it would definitely be worth whatever the monthly charge is if that's the case.

6. clap clap clapclapclap SUPER CENA. I've said it before, I'll say it again. I'm a fan of John Cena the person, but I dislike John Cena the character, and I've flat out told Cena that directly on Twitter – it got me retweeted to Cena's 901K+ followers.

10. Who cares about that show? I stopped watching in November and don't feel like I've missed much of anything.

11. I forgot all about the show last night. I was jamming with some friends on some Nirvana tunes. I DVRed the second local showing of it earlier tonight and I'll watch it with my wife in the morning when I get home from work. I'm excited that I actually get to watch ROH, but I've seen the production values on the new show. ECW looked better at 2AM on Saturdays most of the time. Still, I'm sure that the wrestling will make me forget all about that (much like ECW did back in '94).

4. I'm thinking it will be an add-on channel. I might be willing the shell out for it, but it will come down to the cost, of course. I was wondering the same thing earlier today, actually. Considering how much they charge for PPV's and DVD's, I've got a bad feeling it's going to be expensive. But I guess wait and see, it's still a ways off.

6. At the pace he's been going at, Cena looks to be a lock. I don't want to see anyone beat the record though.

8. Just wait until we get a third!

10. If it continues, I will be moving over to Smackdown.

11. My programming schedule says that I get it too, but it airs very late tonight. I'm looking forward to rooting for Nana and the Embassy on a more regular basis. I'm also really interested in how the Steen angle is going to play out. I wonder who at the BWF is going to review it?

You MUST teach me how to do this gif thing, G! Not that I'm out to steal your gimmick, but "My home planet needs me" is the greatest thing that I've seen today.

This should have been Bobby Roode's show, and it wasn't. AT all. Yes, he had the match of the night (the only match worth watching), but tonight should have made him a main-event star. I am frowning. See?

You guys are the first to support the shredding of Jeff Hardy on tv that I have seen. Every other place is decrying it as a horrible thing, and insisting that he should be built up instead. The logic seems reasonable enough: ripping Hardy a new one makes TNA look even dumber for bringing him back, and a "road to redemption" saga requires a sympathetic character. That said, I really enjoyed it, largely because it came from AJ Styles.

We shall not speak the name of the main event program.

AJ's "shoot" on Hardy was one of the best things he's done on the stick in a long time. And you're right, it's a shame that it's this that brought interest to the show.

Some people enjoyed the Sting/Flair match. I did not. I was bored. So I'm probably writing these reviews at the right website. I can see where nostalgia would dictate otherwise. You and I might be in agreement, yet I suppose we all need to take what we enjoy out of this product for what it is.

There's all this talk about Mistico doing house shows, and Hunico being the TV guy lately. Who the hell knows who will be Sin Cara next week (Amazing Red?), but since they own the gimmick, this character could go FFW on the Doink or Los Conquistadores gimmicks.

5. With the UFC moving to Fridays on FOX, that's competition that WWE doesn't need on a tough night to get eyeballs on the program. The only reason I watch on Friday is due to my work schedule which leaves little time and energy to bother going out. Tuesday would be a welcome change.

6. Outside of actually going to the ring and unmasking the guy, or taking the PWI reports for their word, Hunico is "wider" in build. Also, when he donned the Sin Cara mask, he integrated the Lionsault spot into the matches which we also saw twice. If this type of stuff happens regularly with either of the two luchas, you've got to wonder how the WWE can confidently put Sin Cara on a PPV….

1. While I hated how quickly they've been advancing the Punk story, they've done the opposite with Alberto's destiny angle… with delay after delay. In that regard, I'm quite glad they finally pulled the trigger on it before the delays completely buried interest. I'm all for it too. Punk might be at the level where he doesn't need the belt (or so I would argue).

3. I don't think they do. The crowd in Calgary for the better part didn't either. Me? Yep. Yawn.

4. LET ME ENTERTAINMENT YOU!

5. I don't know who we saw last night, but hot damn, that Sin Cara fucked up his spots that they refilmed elements of the match 3 times. I'll talk about this more on the SD review Friday (Seat Filler #3).

7. Johnny Ace's new gimmick? That's the rumour.

8. Sadly Zeke will face The Mediocre Khali on Smackdown…. ughh….

10. It would certainly hide Henry's slow and lumbering style if it goes that way.

Oddly enough, Jeff is tweeting that he is going to be back on Impact at some point soon.

Some Internet Guy was arrested for drunk driving, after crashing his '09 Corvette into a tree. He was alone at the time. And the excuse videos in 3, 2, 1….

I refuse to live in a world where Mexican America are the tag team champs.

That laptop GIF is great!

So a company that can't pay the guys that it already used (cough…Jimmy Yang…cough) or the people it already has on the roster who aren't named Hogan, Bischoff, Flair, Sting, or Kurt Angle, just hired five more X-Division guys, most of whom no one knows. Ok….

Sweet baby Jeebus, this was bad. The only things about which I remotely care are Samoa Joe taking out everyone in the absurdly convoluted BFG tournament, and the possibility of Austin Aries winning the X-Division title from Brian Kendrick, and starting on a feud with Alex Shelley. That's all.

Agreed. That scene between Nash and Johnny Ace was sexual to the point of being uncomfortable to watch. "He's going to bang Kevin Nash!" was actually shouted.

If HHH speaks truthfully, and did not text Nash to do what he did, then Stephanie was my choice as well. If Nash is lying, and never got a text, and someone else sent it, then several suspects exist. I've never been a Nash fan, and even allowing for that prejudice, I think that Punk absolutely destroyed him on the mic. If Nash's involvement turns out to be the way that McMahon influence pushes itself to the forefront of a story that never needed it, and distracts from the true point, I'll not be surprised.

D-iz-amn, Beth Phoenix!!! I've seen Natalya dressed up before, but not Beth.

Is John Cena serious? Sure, it was a believable and intense speech against Del Rio, but when EVERY single winner of MITB has cashed in his title shot in the exact same way, Cena's noble indignation seems silly. The way that Cena was talking, Del Rio was the only person ever to do such a thing. I was ready to go along with whatever he said, but in terms of content, that was just stupid.

Great episode of RAW! Oh wait… shoot.

I completely agree with the ridiculous amount of commercials on a PPV. They can't justify this. Nope.

Orton/Christian was excellent. I'm still not sick of this program, especially if they keep delivering like this. Let's toss'em in a cage for a blowoff? Rematch clause should technically be available, and the rest books itself. Maybe another Edge cameo will be involved, but it won't be necessary.

Outside of the overbooked finish, Cena and Punk put on a pretty fine match. Kevin Nash was a surprise (one that I hope is explained as I just started up my recording of RAW moments ago). Del Rio made sense to cash in here, but it doesn't work outside of the Nash interference (which doesn't make sense… just yet).

Kelly Kelly Kelly Kelly Kelly should not have gone over. That was stupid. Sheamus and Henry could continue, I suppose… yawn. Unannounced 6 man tag match? Yay?

The best surprise was actually getting exactly what we needed out of the Bryan/Barrett story. Great booking, and it was done simple. There is no reason to overbook here. Barrett can easily make a case to Bryan to put his briefcase on the line… although I wouldn't do it right away. Bryan can refuse initially and remain a face just by noting that he already promised the fans he would cash it in at WM and doesn't want to rob them (or be seen as a liar). Employ the KISS method of booking here, have Barrett harass him for a month or so by constantly attacking him until Bryan concedes and puts the case on the line to end it.

I had the same thought about the Crimson cheers. "What's this? I've never heard this before."

I must admit that I chuckled at the "Jose and Jos-B" bit. Didn't it sound like Jarrett was saying "hosebeast" when he said "Jos-B?"

The abundance of Hooters commercials during TNA programming coincides with Brooke Tessmacher's push. Hmmm. I stand by my previous statement that they should introduce her as "From the Hooters on Kirby Drive in Houston, Texas."

If Mexican America had gotten involved in the Jarrett segment, they would have been faces by default. I wondered about that as well. The whole thing just proves that elderly Hector is better for the Mexican people than that group is.

Christy Hemme is improving on her announcing as well. She's dragging out the names of the wrestlers more than she was. Good for her.

It's always interesting to see what the last thing the FE wrestlers do on TV before they are gone. Kozlov had a match on NXT against JTG. Kozlov went over JTG, then grabbed a camera and planked on top of JTG while taking a photo.

I don't want to make things worse by being mean towards any of them. I do, however, want to note what Masters said though (and will let other people laugh their asses off for me).

2. I never cared for that franchise, but I saw "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2." It was great, considering all the material that had to be cut, but the point of mentioning it is that your comments about 3D versus 2D apply to this film as well.

5. Not so! I loves me a thinking heel, and Christian was glorious in exploiting Orton's "anger management" issues. Christian versus Daniel Bryan. Huzzah!

7. Yes, we do! Somebody make Good Humor stop being obnoxious.

9. I had this very discussion while watching the show. If you ever needed an example or definition of "the It Factor," just watch that tag team. Gabriel clearly has "It." Slater clearly does not.

Comment on Why? First Rayne now Sky! Why have the TBP taken over Impact? by Drowgoddess

Drowgoddess — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 19:11:27 +0000

I loved the original tag team of The Beautiful People. They were absolutely perfect for what they were doing. The chemistry was undeniable, and everything that they did was highly entertaining. When Madison Rayne was added as the "pledge," I honestly expected that she would eventually turn babyface against Love and Sky over their horrible treatment of her, and off we would go. The biggest mistake made with them was "replacing" Love with Lacey Von Erich, and having Love be the babyface. The personas of Love and Sky only work as heels. I've enjoyed Rayne more than you have, but she's essentially been a copy of what we already had.

My biggest problem with Sky as the focus of the decimated Knockouts division (aside from the fact that she was by far the weakest link in the ring) is that she has given fans no reason whatsoever to support her. Anyone who doesn't want to have sex with her is left wondering "Why?" On-camera, she is still the shrill, self-absorbed, overly-aggressive, hateful, bratty Barbie doll that she was before. She does the same provocative ring entrance that says, "You want this, don't you, but you'll never have it because you aren't good enough," and that's supposed to make us like her? If they truly wanted fans to believe in her in a non-sexual way, they would dress her in more practical ring gear, cut the sexpot entrance, and focus on promos and segments that prove her desire to change from eye candy to a legitimate wrestler. We've seen none of that.

With the inclusion of Joe and Abyss it does seem odd but I look back at Hugh Morris or Bam Bam Bigelow and what could of been if they had been allowed to invade the division making it more interesting. Hence why I believe the X division, even with its X games inspired title, could have easily meant it represented a non discriminating environment where any wrestler no matter weight, as long as they had amazing wrestling ability could enter the title chance. Similar to Dean Malenko who was mat based, he still added to the cruiser weight legend.

To be honest with you, I actually enjoyed Sin Cara seated, but do agree that if he had a simple point gesture prior, that would have been very appropriate. I also agree that Sheamus made the contenders look weak here. Logically, I'd argue that none of the people in the ring would have any reason to help anyone else since they are set to face each other after all. This could have been easily explained with a 20 second interview with any one of them… but no.

Hmm… a screen cap… like this one? Happy days, happy days…

I agree that Sin Cara is a polarizing wrestler. I am a fan, but know some of the crew hate that guy. Fair enough, you make a good point about the CMLL matches. The bout with Kidd was pretty decent, well at least to this fan of the flippy floppy.

Comment on iMPACT Wrestling new era, will it include the X division? + rant by _G_

_G_ — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 19:19:20 +0000

I think DG makes a good point here, with the lack of clarity as to what the X-Division is. To step beyond the realm of weight class, what else have we seen in a division that defined it? Was there ever REALLY a hardcore division? And is that imply the use of weapons exclusively? I see where you are going with this… pintnoir leans towards a cruiserweight angle, and true, with Joe and Abyss involved, that seems odd. But we've seen men and women cross over alongside gender-based groupings, so there is room for flexibility here. I don't really have an answer, personally, but I do like the question.

I hate being a pessimist, but I have this bad feeling that Destination X will easily trump the 8000-12000 PPV buys of the current average TNA, but not garner enough to make the difference. I hope I'm wrong (and will be happy to admit it later).

Drowgoddess — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 01:14:33 +0000

I've been telling my wrestling fan friends that they should all order the ppv, regardless of their feelings about TNA in general, for those very reasons. We even had a chat here on BWF as to whether or not the presentation of an all-X-Division ppv, after all the years spent talking about doing so, might not be a deliberate plan by the powers-that-be in TNA. Give the X-Division a show, promote it even more poorly than TNA usually does, then use the low buyrate numbers to justify the official death of the X-Division and the release or complete lack of focus on those wrestlers associated with it. When we talked about it, I had really hoped that such a situation would prove to be a "what-if," but my worst fears appear to have been realized.

One article pointed out something that has long gnawed at me. The writer said that, even in the glory days of the X-Division, TNA has never clearly defined what the X-Division is. What does it really mean? The slogan used to be "It's not about weight limits, it's about no limits." Ok. In practicality, it was a lightweight division, featuring mostly guys 6' and under, weighing less than 230 pounds. Yes, Abyss is the champion now, and Samoa Joe was involved in some of the X-Division's finest moments, so the X-Division clearly can't be a division based purely on weight. Some viewed it as a division based on wrestling style, with a focus on athleticism and techniques from all over the world. The problem there is that the implication is that this "style" is not effective in the regular and heavyweight scene. If TNA can't define the X-Division, they certainly can't promote it. How do YOU think that the X-Division should be defined? I honestly don't know.

Jack's back! For all of his past issues, I loves me some Jack Evans. My friend met him back when Jack was in ROH, and described him as one of the funniest people that he had ever met. At one point during the chat, someone mentioned John Cena. Jack responded, "I've been pretending to be black a LOT longer than Jon Cena!" Long hair and no do-rag is weird.

LOVE the "Assassin's Creed" GIF! That series is worshiped in my house, as Xander wants to be Ezio.

I cannot believe that Roode, Samoa Joe, and the Pope are all scored at 0. With all the guys that they're hopelessly misusing, and the new blood push goes to Crimson and Gunner? Sheesh.

So despite a bs win by using a chair, Velvet Sky may still have to deal with ODB and Jackie because they can just ignore the match stipulation of never coming back? Um, ok….

Yes love the "Hi, Colt Cabana." Gif, was well worth the time. Besides a few segments I fast forwarded through most of Impact except for the promos and matches advertising Destination X. But otherwise here's to the possibly the last X division pay per view of the company's history. sob.

@G.. I bet you, the Oilers are thinking 'We got rid of that virus known as Sheldon Souray', whereas Souray is thinking 'I got rid of that virus known as the Edmonton Oilers'. I personally think the Stars won't do much next year. I mean, Morrow and Loui can't do everything. Steve Ott will do what Steve Ott does, and Ribeiro, well he made the All-Star game not so long ago, so who knows. But the Oilers should have a lot of young players now with all the dfaft picks. It's time for the Islanders to fall.

@Joe. I knew you'd like that. I'm just lucky it wasn't a Scott Norwood link lol. I dicsovered that 'training' video last night, and in actual fact, I was more distracted by PHHHHIIIILLLLLL KKKKEEEESSSSSSSSSEEEELLLLL, I wasn't bothering with the column, but that shouldn't surprise anyone.

First off, to G, a local company was actually selling t-shirts that read "Pegula 7:1 – And the darkest day shall be made light again." Holy shit did that hold true. You knew with the last minute addition of Brad Boyes last season that Terry Pegula is not fucking around when it comes to this team. And now he even owns our AHL team. Gotta love that.

I saw my name highlighted as a link. I HAD to click it. Saw that the title of the video was "History Will Be Made – Brett Hull," and I started saying "oh, you mother fucker." Then I saw the punchline. Love it.

And yes, I will put over the video you posted about how to be an NHL Defenseman. Especially the verse about the Sabres, lol.

Thanks for visiting LK, it's always a pleasure!

William should've gone top shelf, left corner. Goalie left that completely open.

I'm still trying to block out the national shame Vancouver provided the international media about my country… [hangs head]

The actual Buddy Holly was the man.

I seriously need to start following that blogesalming. Great vid's! Ha ha, Pronger and Edmonton, matched in 2005!

Well, I liked reading this hockey post, but you already knew that. As much as my team (Oilers) and yours have a long standing rivalry, I feel bad that the Stars picked up the cancer that is Souray. They buried him in the minors for having a poor attitude… maybe not as bad as what Avery brought to your club in that failed experiment (and classic sound byte!). We'll have to see if the burial humbled him. Realistically, he only had one good season with the Habs… then did ok in Edmonton until he kept getting injured.

There was a number of questionable signings thus far. The Flyers plan baffles me… they are almost a totally different team. I agree that the Wild should be better. Buffalo looks SCARY now, but having an owner who is willing to spend is great thing for Sabre fans. It is going to be a very interesting season of hockey with the number of shake ups, as well as the possibility of the US not having the NBA and NFL seasons. Sadly, we're already hearing grumbling about another lockout for the NHL with the nature of these frontloaded contracts in the near future.

On the contrary, John Cena seems to have an issue with ham. I remember he once told Kurt Angle he was "actin' like a ham sandwich" as an insult, so it appears that he really DOESN'T like ham. Besides, I'm willing to bet that Evan Bourne or Yoshi Tatsu would win a ham eating contest. It's always the little guys.

Another excellent commentary. I'm definitely feeling this John Cena. He's not on my list of top mic work guys, but I loved what he did last night. He's got the potential to be great, so long as we fans allow ourselves to see him as such in the role that he's filling.

I absolutely agree with you on the Vickie Guerrero thing. She's lost a ton of weight over the last few months and there is no need for, as you said, a face commentator mocking her weight. Yeah, sure, she's still a little bigger than most of the Divas, but she's closing in on a few of them.

I did very much enjoy the commentary last night. The two bickered a little bit, as they should, but they were informative and put over the storylines and the wrestlers. I wouldn't put King on the level of JR or The Professor just quite yet though.

Oh man. This review was EPIC! Hell, Drow already quoted one of my favorite parts. And the Twitter quotes used here are pure gold.

One thing I noticed that bugs me severely, that nobody else probably even caught, is that the right side plate on the WWE Championship reads "WWE HAMPION." Seriously. Go back and watch Cena's opening monologue, and pay attention. The C is gone. I hate that kind of stuff. I'm a huge mark for championship belts, and I hate when I can see something wrong with them.

Although, I must insist that if Eve were allowed to actually WRESTLE, with a ground-based submissions style that highlighted her jiu-jitsu training, she could be much more impressive than WWE has allowed her to be.

1. Loved it. It was definitely a holy shit moment for all of us who still love to play mark sometimes. My jaw nearly dropped when he mentioned Hogan's name on WWE programming. I'm pretty sure I probably said "Holy shit" out loud.

2. I'm not thrilled about the fact that I read the spoilers for tomorrow night's RAW. The timing kinda pissed me off too, but oh well. I'll still watch and enjoy the show, even despite the fact that I actually saw the YouTube video of the final segment.

3. I'm completely in agreement with this statement. I've been watching Mark Henry since he joined the WWE, and this is the best I've seen him. A sustained push and perhaps a title run in the near future is definitely something I'd like to see happen for him.

4. The repercussions of Orton saying something about Kelly Kelly are going to be Kelly Kelly losing the title and then getting future endeavored. Orton can pretty much say anything about anybody and get away with it. Like Cena, he's virtually untouchable.

BTW man, what was up with the typos in #3? Celebrating a bit early?

The WWE tackling the issue of the arranged marriage is an interesting idea on paper. But delivered without significance. At least we know why Mahal has this "power" over Khali, but as you noted… how many people really understand why this is important in Indian culture? I agree with you. It bothers me they bothered with this plot without really establishing the background information necessary for all the little/big Jimmy/Jenny's to comprehend why it would be so important.

Huzzah!

The Sheamus run-in, the Christian/Sin Cara match, and the Daniel Bryan/Ted DiBiase match were the only worthwhile parts this week. Perhaps it's just by comparison to the firestorm that was RAW, or that so many of my favorite people have left for RAW, but this show provided a much higher "meh" factor than usual.

That dancing husky head GIF is amazing! I had a dog that looked so much like that. I had to give her to my brother and his wife when I downsized to an apartment. I can still visit her sometimes, though.

I'll comment on Runjin Singh's promo. I wish he had taken one or two sentences to explain why Mahal's threats of divorcing their sister would BE so terrible in the first place. Most North American audiences will simply think, "So? Divorce is nothing. Let him divorce her, he's treating her badly anyway. Why would anyone take that?" What he said was fine, but lacked a way to connect the concept to the audience and make them care.

Christian's line about not being able to see in these stupid lights was gold!

Great review!

No animated-a-tron-G-pictures here… a couple comments!

Long night, late watch… less commercials too…

Anyone who was unsure of the blatant ripoff last week can be assured… Joker. I like insane Sting though. I am wrong? Retarded bad funny awesome? Does that adjective string apply. Steiner/Sting main event was a poor choice though. I read somewhere they combine for 100 years of age. Wow.

Your Pope, My Pope, THE Pope (special guest referee) declares DG FTW over Shane Carwin!! Not this time. I still think you can take him…

I enjoyed the flippy floppy X-Division match. Yeah, lot's of rehashes. I think those become obvious hints to the returnees, as who will go to the PPV. If they are too cartoony… But the flips? And the flops? I love that stuff, I always do. Acrobats, Ninja Turtles, Tony Hawks (yes, I realized I pluralized Tony Hawk…).

I'd say we're batting under .500 tonight…. but at least we got more match time without the breaks, but it also allowed them to cram even more talking segments…. I'm over-saturated….

ThinkSoJoE — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 06:19:39 +0000

I know when I told you to go ahead with posting this I said that I might post something later on in the week about it – but I feel no need any longer because you and, in her comment, Drow hit the nail right on the head.

I absolutely hate the fact that my curiosity got the best of me last night and that I bothered to read the spoilers for next week. I wish I were still able to sit here right now and wonder what really happened. Of course, WWE's wording of Punk's "suspension" pointed in the worked shoot direction anyway.

Rather than tell my wife that I KNOW it was a work (though, from what I'm hearing, Punk was told to say whatever he wanted and they'd cut him off if it got out of hand), I told her why I THINK it's a work – and that was something that is mentioned in this article: He didn't mention TNA.

Ring of Honor gets it's shout outs on WWE every now and again, and Hulk Hogan has never REALLY been off limits. Paul Heyman gets referenced subtly from time to time, and Brock Lesnar almost came back to work a match with Undertaker earlier this year. At the time you're watching the show live, however, you don't think about these things. When he said that John Cena was almost as good at kissing Vince McMahon's ass as Hulk Hogan, my jaw dropped and the words that came out of my mouth were probably "holy shit!"

I made a very conscious decision sometime over the last few months that I wanted to watch wrestling – and particularly Monday Night RAW – as a fan again. It's things like this that make me glad I made that decision. I completely drop off the grid from 9PM EST Monday until I get to watch the entire show later in the night. It's not exactly watching it live, but I don't know what's going on until I see it for myself, and I love that. CM Punk, being one of my top 5 (and top 2 active) wrestlers, cutting the promo that he did was a mark out moment for myself. Shoot? Work? In the moment that I was watching, it didn't matter. And that's what being a fan means to me.

I think you nailed it on the head at the end of your meditation. It was a bit of both. Punk is able to improvise, and he was probably given that same freedom to do so, while told a certain direction to take the promo. I'd bet he was also told to avoid a couple particular topics (e.g. TNA, UFC) as well.

You also point to some of the more classic shoots of the past, but note that this is 2011 WWE… his microphone would have been cut much earlier if they wanted it cut. And there lies the rub. That, and the fact that they taped next week's RAW last night as well… so…. let's just forget that there are spoilers out there… Let's just suspend disbelief and revel in one of the best moments in Professional Wrestling history for a week, shall we?

Awesome writeup Justin! Spot on, I've read and heard from people who barely watch WWE (if at all) also intrigued by that segment. I stayed up way too late as well….

I enjoyed this show, and the Colt Cabana line made me laugh so loud I probably woke up my neighbours!

The downside was that I almost had it spoiled via social networking, knowing Punk was going to do something. Hell, a friend of mine (the guy who hooks me up with the WWE seatfiller gig, and NOFX tix this Thursday!) phoned me up asking what in the hell just happened as he had skipped the last hour to go for a bike ride with his kids. As a result, I was watching this show in anticipation of the final segment… so I think I would have enjoyed the whole show more if I had been left in the dark.

And then after Punk's shoot/work, I promptly forgot everything that had just happened and rewatched the segment two more times. Thank goodness for this review to remind me of the other things that happened on the show! Enjoyed HBK and DDP, and oddly enough, Mark Henry! I know, right? Mark Henry?!?! Ha ha!

After being embarrassed over and over again these past few months you really find it hard to root for him by now. But even if he wins who will he take on?

We have been given a little good things that might become good. The optimist in me (who hides in the deep deep recesses of my brain), wants to liken this to the first ONS. Little hype, yet best PPV spanning a long period of time. Just great. Sadly, I don't know if this will be that same type of deal. I think it "looks" great right now, and want to see it. But the potential for the disappointment is there. I want to be wrong, and hope you get a fantastic birthday present. A couple more weeks might make me change my tune though. TNA… err Impact Wrestling has certainly improved somewhat over the last few weeks.

The DGT idea is great. This needs to be a trademark, it's a cohesive way to distinguish between what happens, and the editorial on it. Wish I could be less fragmented myself… but it never works for me. Insert animated gif and "turrible" comment here.

Backwards is the way to describe the story for the Christian/Orton show. As long as the matches continue to deliver, I will try and forget how askew the booking has become. Kind of like Tom Petty, it seems that Vince won't back down… fuck. Let's hope this rolls into Summerslam if nothing else happens. Orton will likely win the whole way through. His beard has magical powers, or so I'm told.

While polarized at amongst this IWC thing that Lance Storm questions even exists (which in itself is a poke at the obvious retarded 10%'er argument… cough cough…Eric Bischoff…cough), I've enjoyed Sin Cara. But I love the flippy-floppy shit. And if the WWE fucked up their online voting system and want to give us Bourne/Cara on RAW… sign me up.

Rhodes/Danielson was the best match of the night, agreed!! I missed the idea Booker T mentioned about the loss/win effect on the purse. A page out of boxing and MMA. They should continue this idea, DG. Good call!

I also enjoyed the Uso's adapting their entrance towards their cultural heritage. This was very cool, and it completely caught me off guard when it happened. My main concern is the lack of a tagteam division to work this into, because they don't seem to have one in the WWE. I wish they had started with this gimmick at the start and just skipped the Santino/Tamina crap altogether.

"Look, Mark Henry can never be RKOd. The man has no neck!"
True! The Kool-Aid Man of Pure Evil has no neck either, just a jug with a handle. Speaking of handle, give the man a manager. The manager could take the RKO. May I suggest Estrada? He's back, ha ha!

Comment on Destination X: Will We Care? by Drowgoddess

Drowgoddess — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 05:48:16 +0000

I was SOOOOO hoping for AJ/Joe/Daniels again. Their match in '05 was considered one of the best matches in company history, to the point of having a second one later. Joe/Kazarian just doesn't excite me as much. Austin Aries is a fantastic talent, and was the nicest guy in the world when I met him, but I seriously wonder how long he means to stay. We shouldn't get our hopes up. It's a sad thing when most of the wrestlers on an X-Division ppv have to be brought back or brought in for the first time from elsewhere because the company fired them all. Once upon a time, TNA's X-Division roster was loaded enough to pull this off. I'm gutted that Chris Sabin won't be in it due to injury.

Regardless of what we may think of the show, Gee and I have a cunning plan. Even if you don't personally care about the show, we should all buy the ppv. In groups, alone, whatever. Why? The Hogan/Bischoff regime may have finally decided to make an all-X-Division ppv (which had been talked about for years, but had never happened) with the idea of deliberately underpromoting it (even by TNA standards), so that when the low buyrate numbers come in, they can use the excuse of "Numbers don't lie, no one wants to see the X-Division or have any of you guys pushed, good-bye." If we all buy the show and "Destination X" scores the highest buyrates in months, then it's a slap in the face to those who destroyed the once-mighty X-Division. Hey, it's a thought.

The epic screwing of Christian continues but now he is the heel in a very boring feud where he will more than likely continue to lose. It just makes me proud to know that Vince pays people to write this. As far as Yoshi Tatsu is concerned it would make sense for him to be the one to topple the arrogant heel, Mahal setting up a good back and forth feud but again that is me thinking too much for my own good. I may need to look into that. But loved the commentary DG and I hope that Smackdown actually gets better before another lackluster pay per view.

At first I was going to respond, then realized that I agree with everything in your comments. All of it, actually. I'm going to have to update my list for nicknames, maybe I'll add "Heath Farley" alongside Redneck Jesus and Epstein (I've got a note!).

Aside from that, I really hope your point about the XD PPV is not the case… but sadly, the pessimist in me thinks you might be right. The funny thing is that their PPV buyrates are already absolutely terrible, so if they were to make that argument and succeed… well… I don't have enough hands to facepalm myself accordingly.

Riley got over with the crowd, and it was impossible to ignore. So the WWE has elevated him enough that he gets the spotlight to a degree. He still comes across as green in the ring though. The trick here is to find a way to hide his weaknesses and grow his character. I agree that he comes across kind of bland right now. I suppose time will tell. The WWE NEEDS to elevate new talent, that much is a given. I agree with Ruff on many things here.

I'm SOO glad that you saw that too! We were talking about how TNA seems to want Sting to be Heath Ledger's Joker, but he's doing Chris Farley instead. I almost expected a line about living in a van, down by the river.

James Storm is Redneck Jesus.

After that promo, Beer Money might not be contractually obligated to break up and feud in order to go after the World Heavyweight title. Wouldn't THAT be refreshing?

The laws of physics disapprove of the Knockouts tag team match. Velvet and Hooter's Waitress should not be able to take solidly-built women like ODB and Jackie off their feet so easily with weak clotheslines. Anybody get a count on the "bitch" and "ass" tally for the women tonight? Overkill.

I totally expected Dakota Darsow to win. His dad was in WWE, for heaven's sake! Nice surprise there. Zema Ion must be referred to as "Juan Epstein" from now on. This is the sort of thing that could have really brought in viewers, had it been properly promoted. Last week, three guys who USED to work for TNA were fighting for a ppv contract. This week, it was three indy guys who had never worked for TNA. Next week, it's three more guys who used to work for the company. Video packages and interview clips that ran for a few weeks before the matches would have brought in some viewers. I hope I'm wrong, but I have a sick feeling that there's a reason why "Destination X" is only now being used as an all-X-Division ppv. It was talked about for years, but never done quite that way. If Hogan/Bischoff/Jarrett et al put together this ppv with the idea of deliberately promoting it even less than usual, and then use poor ppv buyrate numbers to justify cutting the X-Division entirely and not pushing the guys who were in it because "numbers don't lie, no one wants to see this," would you truly be shocked? Sure, all of TNA's ppv numbers are bad, but that has never stopped the powers that be before.

Comment on Alex Riley- What’s Next? by ThinkSoJoE

ThinkSoJoE — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 05:05:18 +0000

A phrase I often hear myself say when I hear Alex Riley's music hit is "this kid is made." His theme music energizes the crowd. He's got a great personality, a great – if familiar – look, and he's already main eventing RAW on a regular basis. If they let the kid string together some wins and keep him looking strong in this initial feud with The Miz, I don't see why we can't see a WWE Championship run for Riley sometime after WrestleMania next year.

Thanks for covering for me, boss man!

Three hour RAWs are the hardest to get through, and only half the time actually deliver. I'm sorry I missed bits of it, and so glad I missed other pieces of it. Jeez, it sounds like a train wreck…

Hopefully, after the RAW Roulette crap is over, we can go back to wrestling? Yeah, I didn't think so either.

1. Thanks man! I'd like to see both happen, but doubt the WWE will grant me such luck. If we're lucky, Truth gets the title, and Christian gets a lengthy run towards Summerslam in the chase for the title. Also, my favorite movie of all time is on right now (The Empire Strikes Back), how did TV know?

2/3. They didn't riot in either Miami, Boston or Dallas. Kudos! I enjoyed following both series.

5. Me neither.

7. HAHAHAHHAHHAA!! Yes, why yes he does.

12. I'm almost convinced that we need to see a Piper's Pit on every go-home RAW.

14. Yes, this was mindbogglingly lazy booking. Are they convinced that their audience only one of the two shows? They claim this once in a while, but I call bullshit.

I would also like to take issue with the person holding up the "RKO HIM" sign. Really, now, what did Ville Valo and the rest of the guys ever do to you? Orton isn't getting anywhere near my Finnish rock gods, and any attempt to do so on his part will result in a concussion being the least of his problems!

Comment on “Smackdown” 6/17/11 by _G_

_G_ — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 19:17:10 +0000

Orton looked awkward at best in the intro segment. No doubt. The concussion aspect being taken lightly is unsettling. Considering the information we are learning about, and observing the consequences coming out of other sports as well… wow. Benoit? Hello WWE?

The Usos being off for a while have been repackaged, perhaps a fresh run will help a bit. But as you pointed out, they need a division for it to work. I'm going to try and be optimistic on this one.

Mahal looked good, not great. I'll be patient with him…

Too bad Big Show didn't consider filing a lawsuit of his own for being RUN DOWN BY A CAR! I call bullshit on that segment. I enjoyed watching Mark Henry get destroyed, and whatnot, but damn… I guess only heels can afford lawyers? I don't like this lawsuit storyline.

For the main event, I liked how Orton hung his belt on the overturned table. Nice visual. I completely agree with you that Sheamus having this match and losing made little sense. Sure, it gives Christian a win (satisfying a number of fans, including me). Nonetheless, why bother burying the guy here? Smells like a Sheamus interference at the PPV costing Christian the win… and putting those two guys into a feud. I hope that doesn't happen because I'd rather see Orton/Christian carry forward through to Summerslam, but I have this bad feeling it ends Sunday.

Great work as always DG! Barkley says hi!

I read the article involving RowdyRodimus's Tweets with Neal, and the uncalled-for, expletive-laden response from Christina Von Eerie. RR was not at fault in this "misunderstanding." Still, a pretty terrible picture is painted when the talent that should be the focus of the company and its future qualifies for food stamps, or have to take on minimum-wage outside jobs just to get by, or can't afford a car, and guys like Sting get $400,000-$500,000 per year. I shudder to think what Hogan/Bischoff/Hervey and Flair get out of this. Sure, big names and experience should be worth something, but long-term contribution to the company should be considered as well.

I think you nailed it on the head with Hemme. That's what it was that seemed off. She clearly needs to take her time and not rush through the name. Good call here, Drow!

I will try my best to keep Daff's in my reviews, and if I miss it, please call me on it. I'm still very angry about the handling of her injury. And on a similar note, while I rip on Jesse Neil regularly… did you hear about him being successful with his application for food stamps? Seriously, this happened. Just ask RowdyRodimus, he was involved by accident in a Twitter misunderstanding with the guy. Crazy small world, folks. And it's rather sad and telling of the state of this company's pay.

Holy crap, I made a lot of spelling and grammatical errors in this review! Ugh…

Comment on Impact Wrestling: 06/16/11: Canucks Fans Riot Better than TNA by Drowgoddess

Drowgoddess — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 17:37:48 +0000

Daffney love should be mandatory in all reviews. I have spoken.

Aries/Kash/Rave was great, spotfest editing or not. For a guy in his mid-40s, Kash looks really good and can still go. No mention made of the previous connection between Rave and Christy Hemme? Boo. Aries may not be concerned with ROH and its new tv deal because he left it for Dragon Gate USA after Gabe Sapolski was removed as head booker. I have no idea what his situation is, but he may not be ABLE to go to ROH again, nor may he want to. Still, I find it hilarious that posts are made about Aries pursuing non-wrestling interests after leaving Dragon Gate USA, and then he immediately shows up on TNA tv. He sure came to the right place to pursue non-wrestling interests!

Christy Hemme's announcing bothers me. She says the names of wrestlers too quickly, as if in normal conversation. Draw them out a bit, and give them more attention than the rest of the sentence. Do what Jeremy Borash does.

A "real female wrestlers" versus "perceived eye candy" feud would be fantastic if the Knockouts division still had the depth of talent to pull it off. I've complained about it many times before, but I'm not offended by the constant shouting of profanity and terms like "whore" as much as I see no reason for it on the level that it happens. Legitimate promos would make all the difference in the world here. Yes, such promos can be cut while pummeling the daylights out of one's adversary in the backstage area.

Gunner and Crimson? Yawn. THOSE are the non-WWE-and-WCW guys that TNA means to push? Jeebus. Mexican America is beyond dreadful. I like the tag team of the Itas, but Hernandez and Anarquia have got to go. When you gain an international reputation for hurting people in the ring through your incompetence and you don't care at all, or your green-ness causes injury to an athlete the caliber of Chris Sabin to the point where he's out for over six months, you don't need to have tv time. Or a job in a wrestling company.

It was certainly refreshing to see Aries, Rave, and Kash back in for this episode. I don't know how well they will book this upcoming X-Division PPV, but I will be happy to pay attention and cross my fingers it plays out well. I suppose if they continue with qualifier matches, there will be some folks who are in for a cup of coffee. Nonetheless, I will remain optimistic at this point.
As easy as it is to be annoyed by Jason Hervey's segments, last night they certainly took full advantage of him for comic relief. Lots of the 10%'s maintain funny doesn't draw money… but as opposed to going into that argument, this was a highlight of the evening's show.

You caught the better of he impacts minus the dumber moments that have perpetrated the show for the pasts….since 2010. I could also do with out the team of Tessmacher and Velvet witnessing Sarita job moves for these ladies when she had a five star match with Alissa Flash 2 years prior hurts me on the inside.

Yes, a long long show. I caught it all in installments. Couldn't make it through the whole thing last night. Next week will be another 3 hour episode?

I agree, it was overall a pretty packed episode. I enjoyed much of it, although some parts were hard to keep focused on. For me highlights were CM Punk/Stone Cold backstage playing off of the "What?" and straight-edge life style. Clever, solid dialogue. I am never disappointed with Roddy Piper, and here he delivered for me. The aspects of teasing the heels like Truth and Christian were well played out, and I even care a bit more about the PPV this Sunday. They are competing with it being my birthday though, so we'll see if I catch the event.

Awesome recap as usual. The "We want" chant that you couldn't make out was "We Want Ryder"..I misheard it as "We Want Piper" until somebody on Twitter pointed it out. Also, wasn't the response chant to "Let's go Cena", "Cena Sucks"? I could've sworn it was "CM Punk" as well but then it just seemed to get clearer, and when the camera panned on Cena, he had that look on his face that's best described as "that awkward moment when you realize 50% of the people in this venue think you suck." lol

8. I'm definitely considering picking that one up tomorrow. I love it when WWE lets us get a taste of their former competition in DVD form. The Rise and Fall of ECW, The Monday Night Wars, and The Rise and Fall of WCW are three of my favorite DVDs in my collection.

12. Dude, I'm so over Sin Cara. I was so excited when he debuted, but YAWN. I'm still waiting for somebody to explain to me why they don't bother to turn the lights back on for his matches. I got it when they did it for Kane when he debuted, but this is just plain stupid. I'm willing to bet that your DVR made you miss out on Cody Rhodes' transformation into Tyler Durden. He told Ted DiBiase "It was only after I lost everything that I felt free to to anything," and apparently also used the phrase "Premature enlightenment." Fight Club references on SmackDown!

It's one of those things that makes it a tough switch. TNA this week, not TNA the next. I'd think it would be best to wait it out a bit and see what sticks, and what does not.

Nonetheless, I don't want to copy/paste comments… never dig that. I will reiterate that I enjoyed Pintnoir's rundown of iMPACT Wrestling this week. After watching, then reading, I think anyone who missed the episode (or chooses not to watch) will get a pretty fair assessment of what happened.

So we can forget Christian ever holding the world title? With him being heel it looks like they're setting up another squash match similar to CM Punk vs Orton. Anyway, at least we have the intercontinental championship to look up to between coward Barrett and Ahmed Johnson's cousin, they really need to start passing the title round to others in the brand, Cody Rhodes,Yoshi Tatsu (I know I can dream), Dibiase etc. And as far as the divas are concerned we really don't have anything to look forward too for the next year. I mean Tamina, Natalya,Beth Phoenix, Melina, Kelly Kelly,Layla, and Eve (with more personality) should be the only divas outside of FCW recruits (who can wrestle) that should be allowed on our television screens. But I'm biased, I actually like real women's wrestling, Shimmer anyone?

I'm at the point that fantasy booking takes precedence. There a ridiculous number of problems with the division, let alone the promotion… well… it can only get better. The current regime of TNA, err… Impact Wrestling, "Wrestling Matters," etc.

Sadly, etc.

You've got to wonder if we witnessed the cusp of a modern female wrestling division just prior the Bischoff/Arnold/Hogan (Free Bird Rule) in TNA, and not the current products' reboot. Turrible? Mostly yes. I try to take the positives out, because this pessimist holds onto an optimistic dream.

ANDERSTING! Love it!

Overall, I thought this episode was pretty decent. Some good matches, and I especially liked the not so great Muta. Young did a fine job with his impersonation. It was nice to see Shelley again, and the way he came into the program may have been cosmetic as DG notes, but certainly made me smile. I'm also saddened to hear that Sabin is out, what can you do?

Angelina talking (BOO!) was a letdown. I don't hate the gimmick, but speaking kind of ruins the point. And I didn't care for the power struggle part at the end.

The power struggle does come off a lame, especially since they were having it be a major factor in whether Immortal would end. But as usual a Russo swerve took place. It was fun to review. I hope you guys find it decent even if I do trail off a bit.

That Chris Sabin may really be out of action until early 2012 makes me very sad. Alex Shelley getting tv time, particularly with the "Gun Money" idea, is always good.

Well, I shouldn't be surprised. Bischoff has said recently that 1) the changes made to "Impact Wrestling" were almost entirely cosmetic, and nothing will change regarding the on-air product, and 2) that ratings and numbers don't lie, and that the 10% of TNA's audience that is internet fans who hate everything have to get over themselves, accept that they and their desires are irrelevant, and that the remaining 90% loves what they're getting. This show certainly reflects that. Does anyone watching care in the slightest about a Hogan/Bischoff vs. Foley power struggle and subsequent firing? Of course not.

pintnoir — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 14:41:32 +0000

No offense taken. I totally agree with the backstage politics involved there may never be a true revival of the division. When I put this together I remembered how alot of the usual suspects (Alissa Flash,Roxxi etc) most likely would not return so I tried to compensate with other talent in the indies who have either not been in TNA or have had tryouts. This is all speculative on the basis that management changed and the women involved new they were going to be treated fairly. But thanks for the imput, I too believed that the Knockouts were Shimmer with a television deal once upon a time.

Comment on Rebooting the Knockouts by Drowgoddess

Drowgoddess — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 12:01:16 +0000

Once upon a time, I honestly felt that TNA could have been SHIMMER with a tv show. Considering how many of the Knockouts have worked in SHIMMER, it wasn't much of a stretch. However, the more that I read about the inner workings of TNA, the appalling treatment of the Knockouts aside from the laughable pay, the politics, and the true nature of Dixie Carter as a person, the more I view the Knockouts division as a dead issue. It's certainly not out of snarkiness, or a sense that I know more than anyone else about it, and I'd love to see a thriving Knockouts division as much (or more) than the next person, truly. I just don't see a significant number of legitimately talented women from the indies signing on to such a negative situation, and as much as it pains me to say so, the Hogan/Bischoff regime isn't entirely responsible for it.

Please don't think that I'm being dismissive of your ideas. I've just lost all hope that anything like you describe will ever take place in TNA.

14. While I am hoping for a dramatic series, I've always rooted for Western Canadian NHL teams (as long as they are not playing against my Oilers). Vancouver all the way! Malhotra is likely to return from his eye injury in the series too, which is awesome for the team. Not only is he a reliable third line centre, he is perceived by the team as a huge morale booster in the locker room.

This was awful. We get a rehash of "the Finger Poke of Doom," more blathering about "the Network," and entirely too much talking time for Hogan, Bischoff, and Foley. Wrestling matters. So we aren't going to give it to you.

Abyss quotes "The Art of War" a great deal lately, but the context in which he quotes it indicates that he either hasn't actually read it, or he doesn't really understand it. It comes off as if someone who has heard of it, but never read or studied it, told him to reference it. History geek out.

To clarify, it isn't swearing in general with the Knockouts that has bothered me. It was that every Knockout, particularly Velvet Sky, swore constantly and for no real reason, and it came off as forced and artificial. Sometimes it works, and ODB is a character whom one would expect to use crass and crude language. This exchange was a real missed opportunity (not to mention cut too short), proving that the promo is a dying art. ODB could have gone a more articulate route with some variation of "the hot chick cost me my job because keeping her on tv was more important to the company than letting me wrestle, she can't wrestle and she never could, she only has a career because people want to see her naked, she's an insult to real female wrestlers who don't coast through life on their looks, no one will ever take you seriously as a wrestler and they never have, and any wrestling success you've had is due to your tag team partner carrying you." If Velvet had actually sold the beatdown and become an emotional wreck, and then felt compelled to prove that those claims weren't true, we could have had an interesting program with depth and character development. The best heels, like Jericho and Punk, are the ones who speak the truth that you don't want to hear.

That would be my point exactly. I've never liked Mexican America, Hernandez just isn't committed enough to the role. And Anarquia sounds like Chavo on helium. Orlando would be better suited to a singles push in the same way Eric Young should be pushed. Also too many tag teams being featured would bog down the program. I have always believed, similar to the 80's there may have been other teams but most of the focus was on the Champions and the number one contender.

Comment on Impact Wrestling or how I see TNA in theory Pt. 2 by _G_

_G_ — Mon, 23 May 2011 20:04:12 +0000

I could see many of the proposed tag angles working. With the MCMG's on the shelf, and Beer Money currently in limbo due to Roode's potential singles breakout (which I still argue doesn't mean the team has to split up… that cliche is so tired), Gen Me and Ink. Inc is a good place to start. Bringing in Von Eerie as the manager/valet role for Ink Inc makes sense, and would set up the inter-related feud with Tara if they were to renew her link to Gen Me.

Where that leaves Mexican America, Jordan/Young, and other teams miring in obscurity, I'm not sure. Perhaps it would be better to have the other teams do the enhancement role to build up competition towards a number one contender match?

SHIMMER is the "sister" company to ROH, so I would think that they might decide to showcase more of what the women have to offer. I agree that the odd appearance from a tiny number of the ladies isn't enough. I'm personally hopeful that they overlap the two companies more so that things like #1 Contender to the SHIMMER world title matches, title matches, or major feud matches would be aired on an ROH tv show. The network may demand a regular female presence on the show for all I know.

I shall try to find out more about how this all affects SHIMMER, and report back.

Lanny mentioned the humility that his brother had, and that even if McMahon ever wanted to put the guy into his WWE Hall of Fame he would only do it if their legendary father went in too. To me, that will be my last memory… and one of respect and tradition for a guy who helped make me a mark.

TROLL! MARK!!

I know that feeling. I think you're going to like it here bro. We don't toss those labels 'round these parts very often… and the odds are the target really, really earns it.

I'm enjoying this series quite a bit already. I wasn't sure what to expect at first, but now I think I'm on this bandwagon. The points made about Orlando Jordan are well grounded. I've never understood why Jordan has gone along with the overt portrayal of his sexuality. Personally, I really don't care what the wrestlers do with their own time in that regard. Sure, I get the idea of shock factor, but the Hogan/Bischoff era presentation of him is not shocking. Even more so, it's more stupid and face-palm-inducing than shocking. It's certainly disrespectful as well. In his WWE era days, I felt Jordan was decent in his role with JBL. I was never blown away, but he was given a pedestal to stand on beside an established wrestler, which would at least showcase his potential. TNA… err.. iMPACT could have easily repackaged him into a serious role in a tag team. But they screwed up Eric Young as well…. so…. sigh. Speaking of which, Young gets too much hate on the internet for his willingness to go with the flow. I wonder if these two can ever be repackaged?

Great debut for a series, and I am interested to see where you go with this. Tonight will be the first PPV for the new direction the company proclaims is all about wrestling. I don't have much faith that it will be a huge step forward, mostly because it has come to light on Thursday. They have many wrestling fans to convince that they are serious. I had a back and forth with a man named Joe between Thursday/Friday about this. I think that the best thing they can do is make one significant power move… something that makes fans feel like they really missed out on a moment at Sacrifice… something that will make them WANT to tune in. I agree with you that the change should be over the course of the next while post-Slammiversary. Doing a complete overnight reboot would stink of WCW in it's dying days, a stench this show truly reeks of. No, it's not a reek of awesomeness…

I loved the history references, TEMPLAR! Oh those medieval churches and monarchies!

Sincerely enjoyed Bryan and Sin Cara. My only concern was the face versus face side of things, but the two delivered a fantastic bout. Chavo was indeed distracting at times, but fortunately I was able to block out Kerwin White's commentary due to my fascination with the lighting used. I watched this twice.

I'm on the fence with Khali bit. I realize that the potential is to have a feud over managerial rights to the giant, and the argument against the current arrangement will be how this bonafide monster is being depicted as a joke. That would work, on paper. The problem will lie in the delivery… for now, I am entertained. Not a Khali fan though, but am a fan of logical and well delivered stories.

It should be a good run towards the title match at the next PPV. Christian and Orton have the old shaky alliance going as both are positioned as faces. I'm guessing they will keep the title on Orton at the PPV and set up some kind of heel turn for one of the two. That is if the plan is to continue the feud through the summer. God help us if this ends two Sundays from now. The main event tonight was surprisingly good, and great point on the two most dramatically different skin tones being represented in our heel team.

Great review, as always, DG!

I wouldn't mind the repairing as long as Harris is fit. But I've always felt that Robert Roode should of been the next breakout star of the company back when. He had it all charisma, in ring talent and a presence. Ever since they formed Beer Money I've been waiting for it to dissolve. Maybe even James Storm should go solo he started and wanted to be a main event star. Leave room for other tag teams to flourish and move on before Beer Money becomes stale. End it on a high note.

Chris Harris? Really? I've read rumors that TNA plans to break up Beer Money, reunite AMW, and push Bobby Roode as a singles guy. While some will be pleased at this prospect, I like Beer Money better as a team than I ever did AMW, and while Roode certainly should be a main-eventer in his own right, Chris Harris has a great deal to prove. He did not look so good. While this COULD turn out well, it smacks of the "This was a good and successful thing once, doing it again can only be better" attitude that we've seen from TNA on so many occasions.

Another excellent review, good sir! Daffney GIF? Check. "Heeltastic?" Check. I shall allow your assessment of the former "Some Internet Guy" for now, but the name returns if he slacks off again.

I did enjoy this episode. And felt chills when the 25 man battle royal started. With all that talent I had a bunch of favorite wrestlers in the mix. I do hope to see a Pope vs Devon feud only because it would be the veteran giving the younger talent a rub and hopefully give Pope a clean bill of health after his poor feud with Joe. Can't wait till the fallout after Sacrifice all the new feuds would be excellent.

That WAS an impressive lacrosse goal!

and I remember that goal on poor Vesa Toskala. Remember the one in the Olympics on Tommy Salo that bounced off his mask, landed on his back, and bounced into the net, giving Belarus the improbable win over Switzerland?

Anyways, here's hoping that TNA can actually pull off being a "wrestling" show every week. That's where the money is going to be for this company, not stupid storylines.

Welcome back, JT! We missed you!

It was certainly great hearing from you throughout the night during WrestleMania, as is starting to become a tradition. One of these years we'll be drinking and watching the show in the same place!

Sin Cara's debut impressed me, but since then it's been "meh" for me.

Edge came as a shock to all of us, and I found out in a very similar manner to the way you did, though I was on a bus headed to work instead of at a poker game.

I would like to think as _G_ does, but my optimism in matters wrestling has worn thin to the point of nonexistence.

Nice to see this series come back from as understandable hiatus. I pretty much agree with everything in regards to wrestling related points, except maybe Sin Cara, so no need for the bullet responses from myself for this edition. Still quite angry with how Christian's title run was handled, albeit, the teaser the set up for a potential chase if the 'E follows through with it. I will choose to be optimistic at this time about that.

Great Post. This show was excellent and by that I mean excellent by Impact standards.

I can't believe that the Big Daddy reference tied into your analysis of the the show. Odd coincidence, but I completely understand your point… it's just strange how it plays out. Of course, it could also kind of lend itself to the third Big Daddy reference of BioShock which is based on the writings of Ayn Rand. So it gets creepier.

I was thinking that Sangrieto looked familiar, but couldn't place the guy. The mask covers all the hair, but his style and gait… It kind of makes sense as to why Red was part of Kendrick's angry Job Squad for the tapings.

All in all, I enjoyed tonight's episode for that match, and Roode's promo. I don't think it was as boring as past episodes have been, but certainly nowhere at the level of the Pre-Hogan/Bischoff period. If I was able to predict things, I'd start a death watch for the show. Apparently the Carter Matriarch is in charge of the budget of the program now, which is a sign that Panda Energy is starting to show concern (for good reason). Perhaps the Network angle is inter-related?

Of course she has. Daffney can invade anything that she likes.

Roode is awesome. But we already knew that. Oh, sorry –

If Sangrieto really is Amazing Red in a mask, as I've heard, does this mean that he'll get more of a push than he usually does?

"Puppies in snow" > everything

My chagrin just fails to grasp the point of overdoing the Knockouts' swearing on the level that they do. It just seems so forced and fake, particularly with Velvet Sky. Like hot chicks can't string three words together without two of them being profanities. We get it, you aren't PG and sexy women cursing gets you off. Stop trying so hard!

Nothing means anything on this show. Not titles, not alliances, not characters, not wrestling, not anything. That's not me being smarky, or harping on the negative, that's me shaking my head in disappointment and disbelief. There is not one compelling reason to watch this product. TNA is now every Adam Sandler movie of the past several years. A guy gathers his friends, throws together a sketchy reason to be on camera, and proceeds to have a good time with his buddies on camera before presenting it to the public as a legitimate product. Despite Jeff Jarrett's assertions, TNA is boring beyond comprehension. One would think that jaded cynicism would have rendered this statement void, but the idea that someone writes this mess isn't nearly as appalling as the idea that other people approve it to air. Until the bubble bursts, more dreadful is all that there will be.

I can't argue that the Rock's birthday was on the side of overkill. However, there is some need to involve his persona on television for the young generation of fans who had little clue who this guy was/is outside of the WM build. I appreciate that he is making appearances since it seems necessary to build towards next year's match. But to take up almost an hour of RAW with segments and bits…. not so much.

Loved Kharma here. I think this is a case of so far, so good. I actually didn't mind Kelly Kelly Kelly Kelly being left in the ring unscathed. In fact, it sends a message that she is no threat to Kharma… but her time is coming.

As for the failing of Incredible to make the show, that does suck for the fans. It doesn't bode well for him taking future dates, unless he has had communication with the promoter as to a legitimate good reason to no show.

Agree completely with the RKO sentiment.

When Sin Cara's lights stayed on for his entire match, I was reminded of New Jack in the original ECW, and "Natural Born Killers" playing for his entrance, the entire duration of the match, and after the match. Hey, it was funny!

It would be expecting far too much from WWE in terms of character development, but consider this. The Great Khali has been the dancing and lovable "Punjabi Playboy" for ages now. Jinder Mahal could turn out to be a dastardly heel who views Khali's fun-loving nature as a Bollywood stereotype and a disgrace to the Indian people and men like himself who have worked so hard to get past such stereotypes. It's a thought.

I agree completely that Randall Keith Orton RKO'ing everyone including the popcorn vendor, ushers, and that sweet old lady in Seat B-23 was overkill. While I laughed at how Alex Riley walked up with a microphone about to say something only to eat an RKO, this type of stuff is self-defeating.

I enjoyed the Sin Cara match.

Why was everyone still wearing their brand's T-Shirts? I know it's the fallout from the draft, but that seemed awkward to me as a viewer. There's some WWE propaganda out there claiming that 70% of viewers of either brand do not watch the other show. Really?

Jinder Mahal is an FCW guy? I was wondering what that was all about. Do you think they will pigeon-hole him into a Bollywood character? I guess I shouldn't be shock(master)ed if they do.

A BOO to the bookers for making Christian look second rate, I concur.

I went into this review pretty frustrated with a number of things, some related to TNA, some not. One that was not related, was the minimal amount of time I had Thursday night, but this was capitulated by the issues TNA-related I do have.

@Pintnoir – I did skip talking about a lot of vignettes, but indeed this episode was less cluttered than normal. Matches are appreciated, but the matchups themselves tended to feature lackluster combinations. I will credit Gunner for being watchable this week, albeit much of that was likely due to Daniels. I think that what TNA is leaning towards, is the big-man fetish that has been an issue of many fans of the WWE over the years. There needs to be more opportunity for flash and energy matches. The mainevent I found passable at best. It didn't seem like anything was advanced, and the chemistry between this particular three wrestlers may have been the reason. I suppose there will be folks that would disagree with my take on this week's episode, I readily admit I went in biased and negative. This is in part, a direct result of the write-as-I-watch approach… if I'm in a foul mood already….

@DG – Sabin is hurt? So, he joins the list of guys and gals who will have to pay their medical bills. After debating and talking with various folks from the information presented about TNA recently, I've certainly become biased watching. I will still watch, but will certainly talk about the tag team idea.

I'd have no problem with a diva division being exclusive to a brand. But would be concerned about McCool's stroke ruining everything as well.

I also noticed a lot of great cruiser calibre fellows ended up on Smackdown. Bryan, Cara, Tatsu, and Kidd all fill out that side of things. God forbid they consider using those guys in that capacity over there… even though I am pretty sure it won't happen. A smark can dream, can't he?

All the Divas on one show? Then they'd have to figure out a way to have Kharma lose to Michelle McCool.

Seriously, I agree with Pintnoir in principle, but WWE has to have Divas on both shows. As pathetic as the "division" may be, a wrestling show without hot chicks would not go over well with most people.

Agreed! Drew McIntyre, Beth Phoenix, and Jack Swagger on RAW are all good moves that actually have my interest. I would LOVE for McIntyre to prove Booker T wrong when Booker essentially said on "Smackdown" that McIntyre couldn't hang with the big dogs on RAW, and would seriously have to step up his game to fit in if he got drafted. Shut up, Booker.

I personally believe that ALL the divas need to be on either Raw or Smackdown so we actually have a division. Now as far as Raw being robbed I don't think they were they now have enough fresh competitors to warrant a try at making Raw something to watch.

I've got to go "pass" on this one. I mark out for Sin Cara, because I know something exciting is going to happen. Yeah, he's botched a couple spots thusfar, but he's managed to look good doing so. I think, given a sustained push, the guy has the ability to make it big in WWE.

Comment on Time To Take a Poll! by _G_

_G_ — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 02:20:50 +0000

After watching the draft…

Pass!

In all fairness, my take is based on what the fed will do with the guy. I hear Trips is behind the talent development side of things these days, and this is his "project." As Mistico, before the WWE, this guy is unquestionably fantastic. But it's obvious there's some rough edges in his matches as he adjusts to the "WWE Style" (nothing horrible… yet). And it was the "yet" that scared me, but seeing he got "drafted" to Smackdown, they can edit out any mistakes if need be.

I'm also glad that Mysterio went the other way in the draft for Sin Cara's sake. The guy will likely get more match time on the Blue brand as that show tends to lean heavier on wrestling, and less on talking. And with the rumored panic about Smackdown's roster needing more faces, he could benefit by default.

Comment on RAW 4.25.11 – The WWE Draft by _G_

_G_ — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 19:04:56 +0000

I love the move of Sin Cara to Smackdown. Yeah, it is the B-Show, but the fact that it is not live means they can hide Sin Cara's weaknesses as he adapts to the WWE style. Everytime I watch him hit his trampoline spot and almost bail upon entry, I think about what would happen if he botched it on live television… that would go viral, and fast… think "Shockmaster." We need this guy to succeed. Let him develop on the Blue brand for a while.

Also, the Cena double swap was ridiculous. It makes all past drafts make no sense. If you could redraft the same guy twice, then why wouldn't one guy keep getting drafted back and forth (e.g. The Rock back in the day)? Why would that silly HHH draft turn into a trade? I know I am overthinking this a bit, but seriously. Doesn't. Make. Sense.

She's back! Huzzah!

This was such a letdown, the Cena-swapping in particular. The draft concept could be one of the high points of the wrestling year, and it's a piddly throw-away thing. How hard would it be to treat it like a real sports draft instead of the weird quasi-lottery that it is? Instead of rushing into a ppv right after Mania, start setting up for the draft after Mania and skip the ppv that month. Have matches on both shows to determine numbers of draft picks, round choices, possible immunity from trade, title options, and whatever else would be worth it. Maybe even a match to determine which show actually hosts the draft, to make it seem like two equal teams are involved. Yes, I know. Focus on the shifting of alliances and whether or not wrestlers on one show would actually unite for the good of their brand, or whether manipulations and screwing one another over would happen. That sort of thing should take a good month, not be tossed out there on tv in one night with no build or explanation.

I'd watch the daylights out of that.

Comment on An Article to Share by Richard Flynn

Richard Flynn — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 02:03:20 +0000

Both this, and the earlier article the journalist has written, were an eye-opener, that's for sure. There was more than one occasion where my jaw was hanging from the sheer disbelief at what this company has – purportedly – gotten away with.

Just a quick aside – in the first article about TNA's workers; conditions, I particularly loved this quote, because it's SO TRUE:

"Interestingly, one half of the duo, Simon Rothstein currently works in the TNA U.K office having left his job with The Sun for a position with them. Oh, well: it's not like The Sun had any journalistic integrity to lose anyway."

As a trainee journalist here in the UK, I can't underestimate how true that statement regarding The Sun is.

Plus, the interview with Matt Bentley that was quoted, was particularly disturbing:

"Yeah…There’s no (drug) testing. And until recently…we only just got tested for blood work. Which I think is long past due…you know, the amount of diseases and stuff. And you’re asked to bleed on somebody, you don’t know what your talent has…you know, somebody is carrying something, they’re liable to give to someone else…(that was) the only testing that has ever been done, and that was four or five months ago."

There are no words to describe how stupid, disgusting, and downright dangerous that is.

And the part about Angelina Love's concussion at Lockdown (was that 2009? I remember seeing the bout in question) and how soon she was put back into action…

I think the thing that worries me the most is, I worry for the health of a number of guys who I really love watching perform: Brian Kendrick, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Chris Daniels, AJ Styles… to name a few.

The fact that it seems pretty common knowledge that TNA are quick to punish performers for refusing to bleed/work dangerous spots says it all, really.

And, more to the point about Daffney… She is one of my favourite female performers in the entire industry, and it galls me to think of how she has been treated.

There's no way I could go back to supporting a company like this. Sure, a lot of this *may* be unsubstantiated or unconfirmed, but you know the old saying, right? There's no smoke without fire.

I'm kinda shocked to say it, but I hope TNA runs straight into the ground. For the sake of their performers, if nothing else. I can't watch this promotion again.

Kaval/Low-Ki/Senshi/Bad Brandon From the Bronx is his own worst enemy. He has never been happy where he is and has done the least with the most natural talent.

Sin Cara/Mistico is an entirely different wrestler. There is HUGE buzz on him. I've had followers ask me when Sin Cara's match is on Raw. I have a new follower who speaks Spanish that all we talk about is Sin Cara. The buzz is out there. He has the potential to be what Rey was in '96. The guy is insane in the ring.

RowdyRodimus has a valid point. His masks are already selling well, as we've seen, and Rey's shelf life grows more limited by the day. If anything, Sin Cara deserves a "pass" for managing to screw up as little as he has, given that his time in developmental to learn the WWE style and the English language didn't happen, and he was rushed onto tv with no adjustment time. The guy has done his best with what he was given.

I agree that Cole has certainly jumped the shark, not only that, he went back over the ramp backwards and did a backflip the second time. Regal and Barrett destroying Cole would have been awesome, but it would detract from the whatever plans they have for the Extreme Rules match. And sadly, I don't think it ends there.

I enjoyed the Rhodes/Rey segments. And yes, while the BPs already did this, it was not enough to make me enjoy it any less. I was hoping Rey would take time to heal than advance this storyline further, so hopefully after the next PPV he does exactly that.

When they first announced the Corre was defending all their gold, my initial thought was that they were all losing and being future endeavored… which didn't happen at least with Barrett. I didn't get the finish in his match either.

Barring the "Lita" bit, I really got into the whole retirement segment and Edge's appearance to help put over Christian (which he shouldn't need… but the twelve year olds still barely know who he is). I don't know where Edge goes after the ER PPV, but if Cole indeed goes the manager route, I'd love to see him jump into a commentary role one day.

TNA does need to have a complete overhaul or they will not last past 2012. Unlike "Brand E" they don't have the history and resources to combat and survive this if it all comes crashing down around their ears.

I never saw enough of Serena in the WWE as a grappler to know how good she might be. However, if she can go, I hope they do give her a chance. On the same token, I would hope they don't saddle her with "the bald" gimmick. It worked in Punk's faction because it was developed and established over time… it won't make any sense in TNA without putting over WWE. Here's hoping TNA doesn't screw up a potentially good signing.

Thanks for the clarification on the title! That does make some sense, albeit in a drawn out mishandled way. At least there are some connections to the episode… even though it still implies Hogan dominance on a subtle level. I guess I can't be surprised by that one.

I don't mind Sarita and Rosita. Rosita still comes across a little awkward at times, but for a girl who fits the model-build she's vastly superior to many. Sarita is great, I love her style (except when she does Eddie's little saunter-dance). The stable is a poor choice on so many levels. I realize they want to give an identity to the group, but this approach is beyond a stereotype. It's just dumb. I refuse to learn how to spell Anarwehtskdfhjkfas's name until he gives me reason to care. I don't mind wrestler's borrowing from each other, but to be such a cliche…. I'd rather watch Kerwin White, actually.

It was an extension of their earlier articles about the shoddy treatment wrestlers – especially the female wrestlers – receive in TNA.

It is true that Daffney is suing TNA, and it is true that Rosie Lottalove injured her in that tryout match. Beyond that, there is no way to know if the rest of the article is true or just speculation – but to be honest, I doubt TNA wants people even speculating about that.

I hope Daffney's lawsuit runs the company into the ground.

Hopefully Drowgoddess is right and it's Serena and not Isis who could probably double as Rob Terry's sister. I would even go for Leva Bates I would watch it but alas Impact wasn't as cluttered as usual so it will get a passing grade. This show also included wrestling which is rare now a days in this "Sports Entertainment" environment. again good post G. Hope to see what happens next week through your blog.

This was your best article yet! I nearly spit tea all over my monitor at several points. That cake is beyond disturbing! I want to give one to someone I know.

I hated that title from the instant that I saw it. It plays off the title of a 1970 movie called "Two Mules for Sister Sara," starring Clint Eastwood and Shirley MacLaine. MacLaine plays a nun called Sara, who is rescued from Mexican bandits by Eastwood. Both prove to have secrets, but they end up becoming friends. Eastwood's character in the film is named "Hogan." Draw your own conclusions.

I read in several places that leaving TNA was not Jay Lethal's decision. They seem to have cut him. I stand by my Facebook assertion that they couldn't afford to pay for the real Nature Boy while keeping such a fine impersonator on the roster. We can rehas this all day long, but TNA should have been centered around Jay Lethal and guys like him, as opposed to Sting, RVD, Matt Hardy, Flair, Rob Terry, and the like. Yes, I know….

Sarita and Rosita are a good tag team. Mexican America is a terrible stable. Hernandez has less charisma than a dead armadillo, and can't talk to save his life. The other guy is Anarchia, not that it matters. Xenophobia, they name is TNA. In 2011, that's pathetic.

Is Steiner a heel now, or is he just Steiner being over doing whatever he wants to do, whether it makes sense or not?

Miss Tessmacher? Are you serious? Good lord, what a joke! Again, notice the awkward and unnecessary swearing by a hot chick for no real reason. I'm calling it now, that Kurt Angle's "mistress" will be the former Serena. She had a try-out match at that taping, I believe.

I hate the Hervey-cam endings. Just end the show, already. It kills it, and there wasn't much to begin with.

More of these, please! Paying homage to JT is cool too. He is also "Legend." Novel titles, folks.

1). See I'm patient, but I know they are not. And that is what really sucks here. The trampoline is cool, but only with the specific camera angles on TV and the hope he lands it. They should drop this ASAP, just go to the ring.

2). Couldn't have said it better. So I won't try.

4). I want Diamond Dallas Page to respond, just because. Didn't catch that one by Angle. I love how people forget that if they Tweet, the world can read it. I shouldn't laugh at the ignorance, but seriously… society has latched onto social networking quicker than realizing what they say publicly. Even though I am doing the same thing here, DERP!

5). Don't die in the ring Angle. Crazy, Twitter-retarded, and/or given-enough-to-us.

6). I really want to see their contracts, job descriptions, etc. It adds a whole new level to the trainwreck. Still watching this Thursday, because I am sadomasochist? No, that's not the word I was looking for…

7). Some Internet Guy tweeted something along the lines of being a friend on the way in, and on the way out. Or something to that effect. I'd do my citation from either PWI or Angrymarks, and whatnot, but I am far too lazy to do my homework. I agree with you, albeit I do not know where Lita stands on the subject. I do know the dirtsheets mentioned that the affair ordeal did influence her decision to leave. Ahh… the rumours. Either way, I agree with your sentiments on the affair. I found it interesting that Edge brought up the live-sex story with Lita in his retirement speech. PG TV I suppose.

8). I wonder if they are just going to get rid of the Corre in entirety. I would like to see a Bourne/Gabriel program too. God forbid we had a light-weight division… I'm not holding my breath for Vince to change here though. Last time I did that, I died again. I hate when that happens.

9). ROH.

I have absolutely no understanding of how they book the X-Division. In fact, at this point I'd like to see Kendrick ditch the Jedi-Monk shtick too… maybe he's been away to help us forget that bit? Not to say I didn't find it funny to begin with… I thought it was hilarious and was hoping he'd rock the Raiden for Mortal Combat gimmick. Or at least the film version, which was incidently also played by the original star of the Highlander, Christopher Lambert. What could it all mean?

Kelly Kelly. Blech.

Cody Rhodes's promo was great. Have I mentioned just how much I'm into this gimmick? In the past five minutes?

Anyone who didn't choke up just a bit during Edge's speech has no soul, and I do not wish to know them. That is all.

I did watch this, in fact.

"Sting interrupts. Looking magical with his shiny red robes. He plans on casting a delay-fireball, I’d bet."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! This. Gaming references rule!

The Daffney GIF is much appreciated. I think of her every time "zombie" is said regarding Angelina Love/Winter/Velvet Sky as well. We love you, Daffney!!!

Winter's completely calm delivery of "Good luck with that, sweetheart," and the accompanying smirk were more intimidating and indicative of aggression than Velvet's shouting "bitch" at her. I stand by my previous statement on Sky's language.

"The Hogan Show" made me ill. Sure, they had more wrestling, but we've reached the point where we're essentially congratulating TNA for remembering to wear pants when leaving the house, or tying shoelaces properly. All we ever hear about are the outside projects from the people who were supposed to be leading TNA to a glorious new future. Bischoff and Hervey just got a new deal with Tru TV for another show. Hogan pimps a show about midget wrestlers more than he ever has TNA. We all know that no one in the Hogan/Bischoff/Hervey/Flair camp ever cared anything about TNA, but one would think that Bob Carter, at the very least, would see this complete failure to even promote the current product due to a focus on outside projects as grounds for immediate dismissal. People who have jobs do what they are hired and paid to do, and everything else has to come on their own time. Is anyone else as bothered by this as I am?

Drowgoddess — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 12:35:21 +0000

I thought that it had to be a work until Edge started talking. His retirement speech was a thing of beauty. He was absolutely right about growing up in front of us. I was watching when he debuted, and when Sable picked him as a tag team partner. I, too, have been a rabid Edgehead since the very beginning, and find it difficult to imagine the pro wrestling landscape without him. Agreed, Gee, that now his interactions with Christian and his retaining the title at Mania make much more sense. As Edge said, thank God that the extent of his injuries were discovered now, before he ended up in a wheelchair by doing a ladder match at Extreme Rules. The selfish fan in me will miss Edge tremendously, but the other side is grateful that he was able to go out like he is, and enjoy the rest of his life. I read that he now lives in Asheville, North Carolina. I know someone who lives there. Road trip!

(Obviously, that last comment was a joke, and was in no way intended to undermine the genuine emotion of the topic at hand.)

Gee Hall — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 06:47:45 +0000

He gave more than a lot. He gave it all… likely shortening his career in the TLC's and all that built towards these spotfests. As a result, this day was coming. It still sucks, and is a surprise, but that's the way it goes. I just think back about the comment he made about retiring in Toronto when they pitched a bid for the next Mania. You've got to think he was well aware he would be doing this after WM. Plus, it also helps explain the stuff with Christian being old buddies again with no heel turn in relation to the title match at WM27. It all makes some sense now! In that regard, I appreciate how he went out even more so. Like Joe said, go heal up! Thanks Edge!

Obviously Edge gets my vote for first place in the Power Poll.

I've got to give credit for his selling of Big Show's punch at Mania. It really did look awesome. He also seemed to take most of the bumps in the SD match too. But I don't like that the tag champs and I.C. champ are being buried. Cart before the horse, if you ask me. Bury them after you get the titles off of them. I know, I know, titles don't mean that much anymore. Does it have to be so blatant?

All of the twelve-year olds must have been stoked to hear Cole refer to their current favorite show, Dallas… ha ha! Good call!

We'll have to wait and see where the Edge/Del Rio program goes from here. Probably we'll get a tag match next (again)?

Yowza.

The Generation Me split would actually mean something, had they been given enough airtime to let fans actually give a flip about them as heels first, and slowly start showing the sibling rivalry develop. The idea itself is perfectly valid, but at least one solid tag team title reign should have come first. Losing the belts could have set off the feud, with big brother blaming little brother for getting pinned and costing them the belts.

Oh, the days of Gail Kim and Awesome Kong….

Arrogant jerk stoner RVD > laid-back, relaxed, and groovy stoner RVD.

There is absolutely no way that anyone watching this show on tv could possibly care about anything at all happening on it. It can't even be viewed as trainwreck bad, and thus having a certain "guilty pleasure" appeal. It's straight-up boring bad. The energy to hate it can't even be summoned. All the same, I have still watched it (sort of), and eagerly anticipate these reviews every week. Your effort does mean something!

Comment on In Case Stone Cold Asks (My Favorite Matches) by Drowgoddess

Drowgoddess — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 19:10:53 +0000

This is always so difficult! I shall follow your guidelines, and simply focus on matches that I liked best, for whatever reason. These are in no particular order.

The Briscoes vs. the Motor City Machine Guns, Ring of Honor, 4/19/08: I saw this match live. My birthday present to myself in '08 was to fly from Houston to Chicago and see the MCMG (my most highly favored of all tag teams) fight the Briscoes in ROH. This was the second match of what was meant to be a longer series, but when TNA stopped allowing talent to work with ROH, no further matches ever happened. Words do not do justice to the brilliance of this match. When Chris Sabin flipped over the referee's back and landed on his feet on a chair in the audience, the place lost its collective mind. The audience was so hot for both teams, which made the experience all the better. Because the MCMG were a special attraction, they weren't expected to win. That they did was the cherry on top of a sundae made of awesome. This match was as close to wrestling heaven as I have ever been.

Kota Ibushi vs. El Generico, Ring of Honor, 4/19/08: Yup, two matches from the same show. I had heard all manner of amazing things about Kota Ibushi, but had never seen any of his work. His match against Generico was the fourth and last of his brief US tour, and it was the only victory he scored. There's something magical about seeing a wrestler perform live for the first time, and knowing right away that he would be one of your favorites. This was one of those times. Ibushi is like a breathing anime character, and has to be seen to be believed. I met him and shook his hand after the show. Sweet!

KENTA vs. Davey Richards, Ring of Honor, 4/3/09: This was during Wrestlemania weekend of Wrestlemania 25, in Houston. This match defined what ROH is all about. It was for the GHC Jr. Heavyweight title, and the "disgruntled and disrespectful former student vs. the mentor who still has a few tricks up his sleeve" story was in full effect. So many true near-falls, and not just two-counts! Emotional, engrossing, and hard-hitting.

Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart, Summerslam, 1994: Best cage match ever. Sure, nobody fell from the top through a table, but it wasn't necessary. The story of two real-life brothers fighting each other, particularly when both were able to perform at such a high level, was particularly compelling.

Austin Aries vs. YAMATO, Dragon Gate USA, 4/2/11: Wow. Just wow. Watch it and see. I love both of these guys, and this match is a fantastic example of why.

TLC tag team title match, Summerslam, 2000: The first and best. Edge and Christian, the Hardys, and the Dudleys could do no wrong. Replicating this match has always failed, because there was something very special about it.

Ultimate X match for the X-Division title, Final Resolution, 2005: AJ Styles, Chris Sabin, and champ Petey Williams proved that every X-Division match and every match involving smaller and more athletic guys isn't a mindless spotfest. Storytelling, psychology, character, artistry, and athleticism are all on display here. Watching this match triggers such outrage over what TNA has been and could have been, and what it is.

How dare you mention Chris Benoit! Nah, I'm kidding. It's been so long at this point that he's all but been forgotten, and I think we're to a point where he should be remembered for what he did in the ring and not the tragic insanity that ended the lives of him and his family.

I think that this is the first article in the history of this site where anything CZW has done has been praised instead of mocked. So, congratulations on making history!

Piper Vs. Hart at WrestleMania VIII
Freebirds Vs. Von Erichs (take your pick, they were all pretty great just because of the energy of the crowd)
Demolition vs. Hart Foundation SUmmerslam 88(?)
Piper vs. Valentine Dog Collar Match Starrcade '83

God, I've seen so many great matches over the years it's hard for me to pick my favorites. Then again, I don't go by how great the match is technically like so many others do, I go by how involved I am in the match and if I really care about the outcome. If I can go against knowing it's a work and get pissed or celebrate over the finish, then it was a great match IMO lol

I guess they actually are attempting to be patient with the build… I'm kind of both shocked and pleased with this Rock/Cena next WM. The next thing for the Rock has to be a vanishing act, so we forget about him until the time is right (i.e. movie schedule). Nonetheless, I have no problem with the outcome. I'm old enough to blink and it will be next year anyways.

I enjoyed the overall show much more than I had anticipated, but I went into it with very low standards. Edge’s victory honestly surprised me, though I was glad that Christian didn’t turn on him. Absolutely LOVED Punk/Orton, but again, why did Orton have to win here? The guy single-footedly destroyed Punk’s entire faction for good, and going in to Mania with an injured knee just doesn’t balance that out. Punk looked amazing in defeat, but Orton didn’t need the win as much as Punk did. Lawler/Cole dragged on for too long, particularly with Cole’s never-ending promo. HHH/Undertaker was vastly better than I had expected, and Taker has never won at Mania via submission before, so that was cool. The 8-man tag was so short that it may as well have not happened at all, and The Corre has now been officially wiped out. What a joke! What was done to Sheamus and Daniel Bryan was nothing short of criminal. The main event bothered me on so many levels. Champions should never enter first. Cena’s gospel entrance made no sense at all in character context. That one person gets a significantly more “epic” entrance than the other, particularly when that other is the World Heavyweight Champion, is simply wrong. You’re absolutely right about the Rock standing over both of the actual match competitors at the end.

At least we get Sin Cara’s debut on RAW!

Gee Hall — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 20:01:11 +0000

Since we're posting at two sites, here is my thoughts from the wPo wolfpac site!

“I rewatched a bunch of this over the last week. And it was a pretty damn good show. There were a few matches that were nothing special, but with the TLC, Rock/Austin, Benoit/Angle, Hardcore title, Taker/HHH, and yes, the Gimmick battle royal, I was sated as much as I was the first time around.

What I really liked here, was the historical perspective you make following the review. It’s cool that we started this Celebration of Professional Wrestling with the anniversary of the final Nitro, and you capped it off with the anniversary of the WM that followed immediately after. And, that the rematch they neglect to mention with Taker/HHH is later today…

Will we see the start of a new era of wrestling tonight? I don’t know, but we could sure use something to shake things up. I’m not saying there is anything terrible about the current product, but it would be fantastic to see the youth movement go full tilt tonight at WM27 (where possible, of course). Now would be a great time.”

I'm forever spoiled because this was my first live Wrestlemania. If you listen carefully to the dvd, you can barely hear the "Die, Rocky, die!" chant that we started. There was a tiny wizened man next to us who was the biggest Austin fan on the planet. Watching him attempt to jump up and down and scream with almost no teeth, or functional joints, was priceless. I refuse to accept that it has been that long! Stop making me feel so old!!!

Ol' "Dead Eyes" Grisham and the Bellas were pretty groan inducing here. I never thought the Bellas could disinterest me more, but they found a way on this episode.

I dug Cody's dark towel over the head look. It made him come across as more despicable and sinister in his promo work, and ring entrance.

Good news! There was an "attack" by the Corre on Kozlov over the weekend. This takes Vlad out of the match, and his replacement is Kofi Kingston. While this changes things a bit, allowing for some more high flying on this matchup, I still think the result will be the same.

I was in the audience for this, and it did not feel like a true Wrestlemania event, outside of the HBK/Undertaker match. Having attended Mania 17, I had hoped for so much more than what we got. The Ring of Honor shows the Friday night and Saturday afternoons before Mania were vastly superior shows, and I don't just mean the in-ring product. They felt like the most important things of the year were happening, and no amount of spectacle could hide the shortcomings of Wrestlemania 25.

Velvet does indeed sound forced and awkward in many of her lines, in regards to the profanity. Good point, there seems to be a directive to have her swear up a storm, and it comes across week. While I'm hardly offended by profanity, it's effect is much more significant when it happens occasionally. I realize that I may be in the minority when it comes to the perception of swear words as a viewer, I'd imagine the fan base that is more concerned with it would take notice if it were used more carefully.

I'm not sure what Daniels is up to coming back. Perhaps it literally came down to money between TNA and ROH? As much as I doubt he will get to show off his deep skill set in the current version of iMPACT, the foolishly optimist wants to hope he gets that opportunity. At least in the storyline perspective, they put him with the right faction here.

I couldn't agree more about Wayne Arnold. See, if his job is to toss bullet-points at people while they cut promos, then they need to mute/cut his audio out of the segment. If he is supposed to be an actual interviewer, as you point out, it is incompetent. While I'd argue they should just let Borash do the interviews, the Reaction-style of camera work won't mesh with the traditional interview segments. I wouldn't mind them presenting the two styles during the program, just don't try to make a hybrid of the two.

Wow.

Just, wow.

Your nomination for sainthood will arrive shortly. New lows are reached every week, whether one believed it possible or not. I look forward to this review so much every week, but your suffering cannot be imagined. Thoughts I had while watching, in no particular order:

Stop the HD super-close-ups on Angelina Love. Please. I really like her, but I can't defend this.

Someone in power must have decided that hot chicks swearing is sexy, because Velvet Sky has quite the potty mouth on tv. If it came off as a natural thing, like when Austin did it, I might not care, but it honestly seems like a deliberate effort is made to cram as many swear words into Sky's promos as possible. I find this unnecessary.

Since no one watches TNA, no one cares that their inappropriate treatment of homosexuality is vastly more offensive than WWE's. I'm not opening that can of worms again, so don't start a flaming comment war over it, but what happened tonight was appalling. They don't have the top good guy and face of the company directing that treatment at a target audience of kids, that's about it. Taz and Tenay should be ashamed of themselves.

DANIELS??? WHY??? Why would you do this to yourself, Daniels? It can't possibly be worth it. You should be playing Spider Jerusalem in a movie instead.

Jason Hervey is the most obnoxious and incompetent "interviewer" ever. Someone should kick his teeth down his throat. Really, he's terrible.

Man, I wish I was there. I guess I didn't make the text at the top big enough. All of the discount bin reviews that will appear at the BWF are courtesy of Jonkind from Wonderpod-Online, I am posting them since he is not a current author here. He's a lucky guy to have experienced the fans turning Hogan live in Toronto!

Great review G! It's awesome that you were there too. Attending Wrestlemania is always something I've dreamed about! Even just to be there and soak up the atmosphere of the crowd would be something else. I've made a promise to myself though that if I am ever lucky enough to go to one, I'll be getting as close to front row seats as possible. If I'm gonna be spending a grand or so to make the trip, I'd be as well to make it as fantastic an experience as possible!
