Monday Night Open Mic

Howdy Blog O'Doomers!

Wishing the best of holiday weekends to those celebrating and hoping those that didn't weren't forced to work too hard. I'm finally indoors to tend to my sunburn and wait for the man and kid to bring home their take from a weekend fishing trip. I was told there will be enough grouper and snapper to last for most of the summer so I will have to really test my recipe chops to make fish interesting day after day.

Anyway there's enough for everyone to enjoy. Some holiday baseball. Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals in the NBA. Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals in the NHL. Probably some replay French Open tennis if you are into that sort of thing.

And oh yeah, there's wrestling. I think I'm going to do a PPV review this weekend. Leaning towards Superbrawl II but not sure.

Anyway, enjoy the show and come out swinging but try to keep it clean!

Comments

  1. Superbrawl II is a really fun show.

  2. I am deeming the Extant meatloaf experiment a success!

  3. Good news. I tricked that ham-and-egger Sean Mooney at the door and got in tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  4. I figured it would be. Fun period for WCW, never seen it before.

    And frankly I'd rather watch this RAW show than tonight's RAW.

  6. Just book an Elimination Chamber match for the title tonight be done with it.

  7. We can't do that yet! IT'S NOT FEBRUARY!!!!

  8. So, does Vinson have a ticket for tonight's show? I fear for the safety of Fandango.

  9. One of WCW's better years for sure.

  10. Oh, hey. Cesaro is gonna feud with Sheamus? That could work.

  17. The Ross Report isn't until Friday!

    ReplyDelete
  18. JTG is pretty much The Great Black Hope at this point.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Nothing like a Memorial Day Raw, the show where WWE takes a night off.

    Same here. I bet if we try it Chris Cruise is still there waiting to take our call.

  24. If Russo was booking they would've done one by now.

    ReplyDelete
  25. You know, the announcing on the pre-show ain't bad most of the time.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I really wish the new TV contract put RAW back to two hours and they ran a squash-type show on the WWE Network as a pre-show. They could've tried to get more subscriptions that way.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Poles would have factored in somehow.

    ReplyDelete
  28. And it would have been a screw job finish. Remember that "War Games" crap he did.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Wow a "Shawn Michaels Can Die" sign.

    That's not very nice at all.

    ReplyDelete

    Agreed. RAW desperately needs to go back to being 2 hours. Less is more. All killer, no filler. There's a reason those RAW's from the late 90's were so good.

    ReplyDelete
  31. In 1997 I think that was more like a matter of fact warning of what could happen to him as he dealt with drug problems.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Well, he CAN! It is possible!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I know it wasn't really WWE's decision to go back to 3 hours, but I would've fought USA Network like hell during negotiations to get it back to 2. A three hour program is just death regardless of how good it is.

    ReplyDelete
  34. God the Legion of Doom were so lame in 1997. The 1987 Road Warriors would have kicked the shit out of them.

    Heartbreaking that 2 of the 4 people in the opening match are no longer with us.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Wonder how that would have affected the fees they were able to negotiate.

    ReplyDelete
  38. And then billed them for their time.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I just realized that I can't remember the last time WWE referred to drug and alcohol problems as "personal demons."

    Look at Riley trying to compare Bryan's situation to a starting QB losing his job. Alex Smith would disagree with his assessment.

  44. This Yankees-Cardinals game doesn't seem to want to end. I'll have to play catch-up with the show tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I think they just ignore the problem now.

  46. Ted is on and I'd kinda rather finish this.

  47. Dibiase?

    Well, if it's Sr.

    No. They have enough wrestlers to work with a 3 hour show. THey could have US and IC title matches and all the wrestlers that aren't being used could form tag teams. There is no excuse.

  77. Whenever Memorial Day comes around I'm reminded of Kurt Angle in Vancouver.

    "In the United States, today is Memorial Day in which Americans have the day off to have barbecues. Now I understand in Canada you can't have barbecues without being attacked by a moose. Or a caribou."

  90. Watched Wrestlemania XXX again this week. Steph whoring up her outfit a bit 2000-style at ringside was a nice touch.
