Monday Night Open Mic

Howdy Blog O'Doomers!

It is rainy and nasty here, perfect night to make some chili and watch some TV.

Not a whole lot going on that I wanted to talk about. I listened to the JR podcast with J.J. Dillon and it's a really good one because...no one is going to out talk J.J. Dillon and he was great. Basically said the original Horseman were the best because they were organically put together by the fans as he was just managing Tully at the time. And he said the Hall of Fame version was the unquestioned best in the ring because Windham was such a great talent.

I can get with that.

Anyway TV for tonight

RAW

Steelers-Oilers Titans on Monday night football

One NHL Game but Lightning-Rangers is a pretty one to have

Nine Games from the Association as the Sixers will try to break 50 against the Spurs.

ESPN starts it's 24-hour tip-off of college basketball tonight on most of its networks. Not a CBK fan but I like a 7 a.m. basketball game as much as the next gal.

New Gotham, Castle, Blacklist, Dancing With the Stars, etc.

Enjoy and keep it clean!

  3. Monday night hasn't had the good games for years now.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Time for your twitter feeds to start filling up with selfies with Grumpy Cat!!

    ReplyDelete
  5. I'm glad November is the new January

    ReplyDelete
  6. I think I might try to gut out tonight's episode. Excited to see what Grumpy Cat brings to the table. Hoping for a Hogan appearance. Hope they can go 3 hours without making AMBROSE look like an idiot.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Ever since NBC bought Sunday, MNF has been Smackdown

    What does that make TNF? Impact?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Being a Steeler fan, I'm going to be watching more of the game...

    However, I'm intrigued to who will job to Grumpy Cat.

    A. Ryder
    B. Slater
    C. Titus
    D. Ryder

  10. I hate Thursdays, so what's lower on the hierarchy than TNA, Does ROH still fuck up their PPV feeds every time they try?

    ReplyDelete
  11. No SSW review this week. I don't review clip shows.

    ReplyDelete
  12. TNF was a terrible, terrible idea. Usually get terrible football.

    Hypocrisy by ol Roger Dodger...playing on Thursdays isn't good for safety.

    ReplyDelete
  13. It's harder than it's ever been to find a decent VCR.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I will sell you one for $10000.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Tuesday Night Football was pretty sweet.

    ReplyDelete
  16. That's the only sort of deals you can find anymore. Either insanely over priced or buyer beware, it doesn't work.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I'll save the small fortune and just keep hoping for a brighter tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Isn't good for cornerback either.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Anyone get pounded with snow?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Not really pounded but it's been light and steady for almost 2 days here.

    ReplyDelete
  21. We got somewhat lucky here...just south of the snow belt and only got about 6 inches.

    ReplyDelete
  22. The whole every team gets on MNF at least once is killing them.

    ReplyDelete

    Looks solid to me.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I might actually watch RAW tonight. NO FOR REALZ.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Adam "Colorado" CurryNovember 17, 2014 at 5:33 PM

    That's Thursday, not Monday.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Right place, right time!!! I hope Grumpy Cat mentions lots of smark complaints, that would be incredible!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I hope that he somehow wins the intercontinental championship!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yeah, I know, they switched it when NBC got SNF. For some reason, this game seemed particularly bleh to me.

    ReplyDelete
  29. My wife used to work in a pet store many moons ago, and at one point they had this big fat goldfish who was solid gold coloured but with 2 perfectly placed black marks above his eyes that looked like angry eyebrows. The employees called him "Angry" and were sad when he sold.


    If I'd been forward thinking enough to meme him, we could have hosted Raw!


    The fish is almost certainly dead though.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Good Luck.
    Fair Enough.
    Maybe?
    No Chance In Hell?

    ReplyDelete
  31. That fish and my interest in tonight's Raw

    ReplyDelete
  32. You're the wind beneath my wings.

    ReplyDelete
  33. 100 bucks??? I'd rather be DEAD!!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Watching Hardcore Heaven 95 for the first time ever. I don't know who these Dudley brothers are and I don't know why they are from the hills of Pennsylvania.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Grumpy Cat is PISSED about Bryan getting buried.

    ReplyDelete
  36. What are the BoD betting odds that Grumpy Cat scratches Steph?

    ReplyDelete
  37. I could of sworn that was Monday. Well in that case, what the fuck ESPN?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Grumpy cat wants CM Punk back.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I can't believe WCW didn't try and snag the pitbulls in 1995.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 17, 2014 at 5:43 PM

    Girlfriend has some L&CO:SVU on the Hulu, so I'm finishing up with SurSer 1995 on my tablet. Here comes the Undertaker!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Ryder just had surgery and will be out for months, so it won't be him. Lucky guy.

    ReplyDelete
  42. But they did sic them on Sting circa 1999-2000

    ReplyDelete
  43. ECW shows like the worst gay bar in the history of the world.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Just wait till he tells his fantasy booking about the Invasion!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 17, 2014 at 5:45 PM

    Jesus, it's like I'm trying to watch the live feed during a PPV with all these skip backs tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 17, 2014 at 5:46 PM

    Would they be, like, the ONLY worthwhile ECW talent that didn't get picked off during the early years of the Monday Night Wars?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Grumpy Cat wanted Goldberg to go over in Elimination Chamber.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Please tell me the ppv is this Sunday. This seems like the longest build ever. Don't get me wrong, I like the fact the booking as been focused on selling the ppv match but it's just been looooooonnnnngggggg

    ReplyDelete
  49. Taz v Scorpio should be fun but I wonder if I should find some better wrestling to watch in place of raw. There is just so much shit on the network to pick from but I've ever seen this show, or N2R95 or Cyberslam 96 so I just figured I'd watch them in a row but I have big time mixed feelings on ecw. Still it holds up better than I thought it would pre network but this fucking 1995 mutant crowd is already on my fucking nerves.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Isn't there one partner left for each team to be determined?

    ReplyDelete
  51. Don't bother, it will suck.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Nope. Ryback for Cena and Harper for Authority is assumed.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I think Joey Styles announcing is one of the most overrated things in iwc history but he was great as an in ring interviewer.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 17, 2014 at 5:52 PM

    He's off filming a movie.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Sigh...he gets a little bit of heat again and he's off TV.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Broad street bully and a bunch of other jobbers wrestling a match while the crowd boos them all...hmmm I wonder if someone will be calling an emergency rescue # or something?

    ReplyDelete
  57. Joey Styles trashing wcw slamboree while they were running a gangstas vs TPE main event is kind of funny to me.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 17, 2014 at 5:55 PM

    He needed someone to play off of, I always thought Joey Styles was better when he had a broadcast partner.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I see RG III has taken a page out of Peyton's playbook on burying teammates.

    ReplyDelete
  60. 911 was a fucking great gimmick.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Gertner was obnoxious

    ReplyDelete
  62. He's heading to Oakland.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I thought the cyrus gimmick was awesome and that guy was great at color and then styles became a good straight man for him and it worked well, but when he was by himself I never really have a shit even though from like 1995-99 he was the patron saint of iwc wrestling announcers. I strongly prefer Ross or even Vince to be honest,

    ReplyDelete
  64. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 17, 2014 at 5:58 PM

    And my tablet just flipped out before the wild card match. Guess I'm stuck with SVU.

  65. Just listened to the Curt Hawkins shoot. Great stuff.

    It's cold and snowy here, so bad.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Big Val. Wow I didn't know they ever let that slob work a match. Against Hack Meyers huh...well the 911 was stuff was fun I guess/

    ReplyDelete
  69. "Yep Mode" Abeyance Brown ©November 17, 2014 at 5:59 PM

    So, I take it that Grumpy Cat is going to be here to tell her side of the story?

    ReplyDelete
  70. Chili?

    She does know about the danger of Hoss-sized holes in her wall, right?

    ReplyDelete
  71. Eva Marie got implants again.

    ReplyDelete
  72. And the YouTube comments for the car show I co-write are pretty much ripping us apart because we did another S2000.


    I always feel awful when people hate something I've done. But I try not to let it get to me, under the argument that it's far easier for people to tear something down than create something themselves.


    But then that pretty much invalidates every wrestling argument I've ever made. Blech.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I don't see why they wouldn't tailor an offense to him instead of hiring a coach who will an offense that isn't suited to him.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Ok Grumpy Cat, show me what you got... cuz I got "Live And Let Die" cued up in the bluray player and I will bail on your ass.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 17, 2014 at 6:00 PM

    It's only because ECW was the be-all-end-all for the IWC at the time. I always liked Joey, but there were a lot better announcers out there.

    ReplyDelete
  76. *Another* S2000?! That well has run dry my friend.

    ReplyDelete
  77. UFC announced their full 2015 schedule today. Only 45 shows.

    ReplyDelete
  78. It's called a college offense. You gotta grow up sometime.

    ReplyDelete
  79. "Yep Mode" Abeyance Brown ©November 17, 2014 at 6:01 PM

    You could always pull a PewDiePie and disable comments if you don't want to be a man about them.

    ReplyDelete
  80. This show has exactly 5 minutes to hook my attention and keep me watching.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Eh, they occasionally irk me, but it's not like I'm going to cry into my pillow about them.

    ReplyDelete
  82. "Yep Mode" Abeyance Brown ©November 17, 2014 at 6:02 PM

    Thanks for making 27 degrees nots sound so bad.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Bitch still looks like VKM i drag to me.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Boy, Luke Harper looks like a sore thumb.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Does WWE have the guts to follow through with the stipulation and get rid of these damn Authority figures and try something fresh?

    ReplyDelete
  86. They *really* shouldn't have Rusev line up with guys that tower over him like that.

    ReplyDelete
  87. They gave up a bunch of draft picks to specifically get RG3 though. Plus he had a ton of success in the NFL running that offense. They went all in to get him so why not run the O he likes to play?

    ReplyDelete
  88. Well. I can say this with all sincerity.


    Fuck you.


    :-)

    ReplyDelete
  89. "Yep Mode" Abeyance Brown ©November 17, 2014 at 6:03 PM

    They need to appeal to the redneck demo.

    ReplyDelete
  90. "Yep Mode" Abeyance Brown ©November 17, 2014 at 6:03 PM

    See, you're already better than Pie.

    ReplyDelete
  91. They're going to win, though. So, they won't duck any stips.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Remember when wrestlers got to be badasses on their own, without having to kowtow to the boss?

    ReplyDelete
  93. That wave that Steph is doing isn't the good kind of heel heat. It's the oh this again time to change the channel sort of heat. We're well past needing the evil authority trope and this presentation of that is the saddest yet. Horrible stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Wearing headphones while watching on my laptop....fucking announcers are WAAAAAY too far in my head.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Authority Figures have become an institution in WWE now. They are too entrenched in the idea. I doubt it's going away.

    ReplyDelete
  96. BOW DOWN TO THE KING!

    ReplyDelete
  97. Grumpy Cat don't do no jobs in front of 10,000 people

    ReplyDelete
  98. It has been officially proclaimed as Steph Heat.

    ReplyDelete
  99. *eyes bluray remote* I hear what you're saying...

    ReplyDelete
  100. The authority trope is worn out like a $2 hoooker, but Steph is pretty good at the little nuances of gaining heel heat. She's lightyears ahead of the screeching banshee she used to be.

    ReplyDelete
  101. I'm already bored.

    ReplyDelete
  102. No, 45 shows in January.

    ReplyDelete
  103. I dunno. I like it. Prefer this Steph than 2000-ERA Steph

    ReplyDelete
  104. Who would you bet on to win a foot race, Big Val from ECW or Paul Meekin from the BoD?

    ReplyDelete
  105. Unlike 14 years ago, we can't get Mick or Rock to interrupt him, though

    ReplyDelete
  106. They have been working on subtley burying him since The Rock pinked him for no apparent reason.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Hey Trips....

    Come on Hunter, shoot on some people!

    ReplyDelete
  109. Masked Man to write 5,000 approving words on how Hunter acknowledging this is the same storyline as 15 years ago is actually brilliant.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Are Rusev, Henry, and Harper in The Authority now?

    ReplyDelete
  111. Meekin will never win at anything in life.

    ReplyDelete
  112. This one might work out, the pop he gets should be huge when he returns.

    ReplyDelete
  113. I would love to imagine that SS would be a reboot of WWE TV, that a evil figure head would be no more, and that Raw would be fresh again. But I know better than that.

    ReplyDelete
  114. I see Hunter is just as petty as his father-in-law

    ReplyDelete
  115. "Yep Mode" Abeyance Brown ©November 17, 2014 at 6:06 PM

    And hey, how ironic, you're WCW now.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Next Sunday I think.

    ReplyDelete
  117. The WWE Model of Business.

    1. Call your fans sheep.

    2. Profit!

    ReplyDelete
  118. Yeah, you ARE WCW now, Hunter, good one.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Take THAT, all you current WCW fans out there.

    ReplyDelete
  120. HHH completely misses the irony in mentioning WCW.

    ReplyDelete
  121. WWE nearing black hole implosion from the irony of that statement...

    ReplyDelete
  122. I think it's be nice if Harper was wearing a suit...or at least a necktie with a wife beater

    ReplyDelete
  123. You know, honestly, this isn't that impressive of a team even in Kayfabe.

    ReplyDelete
  124. OH WHAT THE FUCK EVER, malcontent my ass.

    ReplyDelete
  125. ARRRRGH THE BARBARIANNovember 17, 2014 at 6:07 PM

  126. Cena's a malcontent, LOL

    ReplyDelete
  127. CruelConnectionNumber2November 17, 2014 at 6:08 PM

    WCW was never as bad as WWE is now. Same fucking Authority promo for 17 years!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  128. Shill alert! Shill alert! Pandering dickbag alert!

    ReplyDelete
  129. I would say Kane and Mark Henry are the weak links but having Rollins, Harper, and Rusev are nice pick ups

    ReplyDelete
  130. "We can't lose!... By the way the network is free for Novber!"

    Hunter with all sorts of unintentional comedy in that promo.

    ReplyDelete
  131. CruelConnectionNumber2November 17, 2014 at 6:08 PM

    If Team Cena wins, the WWE will have inmates running the asylum and WWE will turn into WCW which WWE once bought cheap on an auction block.

    ReplyDelete
  132. The beginning of BOOBGAP has reappeared.

    ReplyDelete
  133. As far as bad finishes goes, how to feel about a fat guy missing an elbow drop and then the dude he tried to drop it on pins him?

    ReplyDelete
  134. I like how HHH specifically mentioned "John Cena and Dolph Ziggler". I'm naive, but I really think Ziggler is out of the dog house. I have hope.

    ReplyDelete

  136. Rusev really looks small standing next to Henry, Kane, and Harper.

    ReplyDelete
  137. "Yep Mode" Abeyance Brown ©November 17, 2014 at 6:09 PM

    Was that a rip on Punk?

    ReplyDelete
  138. Biggest Main Event Contract Singing EVAR

    ReplyDelete
  139. Even Stephanie is taller than him.

    ReplyDelete
  140. Survivor Series is seriously lacking in star power.

    ReplyDelete
  141. Oh god! A contract signing. I just can't. I really can't.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Stranger in the AlpsNovember 17, 2014 at 6:09 PM

    Cena has been a malcontent for years! Do you think he enjoys being the top guy?? I have it on good authority that he hates itBWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

    ReplyDelete
  143. They're bigger? Yes!

    ReplyDelete
  144. I can tell the WWE is red hot right now because there are so many people in this thread watching Raw!

    ReplyDelete
  145. OMG steph...you are just so, so bad.

    ReplyDelete
  146. CruelConnectionNumber2November 17, 2014 at 6:09 PM

    Seth Rollins looks like 1980's jobber he needs a new look.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Alright! My first show in a couple of months and I get Grumpy Cat AND a main event contract signing?


    What luck!

    ReplyDelete
  148. This is horrendous.

    ReplyDelete
  149. Has Jamie Noble really been that small this whole time? Holy shit

    ReplyDelete
  150. It's a very nippy 59 degrees.


    It needs to be warmer.

    ReplyDelete
  151. Most twisted and sadistic monster WWE has ever seen, and he's modeling the $79.99 collection from JCPenneys.

    ReplyDelete
  152. Speaking as a fat guy, it's fine. I need a few seconds before I get up.

    ReplyDelete
  153. Fuck, we're getting Sadistic Kane at Survivor Series? I wanted Malibu Kane...

    ReplyDelete
  154. The word of the day is...Decimate

    ReplyDelete
  155. After tonight, no more cable or TV for 8 days. Guess I will not be seeing this on DVR

    ReplyDelete
  156. Not in kayfabe though. I mean Rusev and Rollins are but Harper has never done anything on his own and as a tag team he couldn't beat the Uso's. So 2 out 5 are proven winners.

    ReplyDelete
  157. ... and Rollins and Stephanie and...

    ReplyDelete
  158. Stranger in the AlpsNovember 17, 2014 at 6:10 PM

    Brock Lesnar should defend the title against an Uso on the show or something.

    ReplyDelete
  159. Someone tell Harper not to sound like that.

    ReplyDelete
  160. I don't have anything against Kane personally, but how many main event matches--Raw and PPV--does he have to be in this year?

    ReplyDelete
  161. Well I'm only asking you lift a shoulder before the count of 3!

    ReplyDelete
  162. Luke Harper could be awesome in a Bruiser Brody-style face role.

    ReplyDelete
  163. Harper.... ey Harper...

    Don't sound like that.

    ReplyDelete
  164. ARRRRGH THE BARBARIANNovember 17, 2014 at 6:11 PM

    Well, if they shoehorn Orton into this, he'll get massively over on the virtue of being "not Cena"

    ReplyDelete
  165. Damn, I was hoping Steph and Triple H was like


    "The person who delivered Ziggler to our door step...THIS MAN!"

    ReplyDelete
  166. CruelConnectionNumber2November 17, 2014 at 6:11 PM

    most complete wrestler in the ring

  167. Yeah but how are you gonna see Survivor Series???????????????

    ReplyDelete
  168. Where are they tonight? Is it possible Grumpy Cat gets booed?

    ReplyDelete
  169. Stranger in the AlpsNovember 17, 2014 at 6:11 PM

    Just trying to recreate Bunkhouse Stampede '88 with Flair vs Hawk.


    I just watched it on the Network for only $9.99.

    ReplyDelete
  170. Harper has a good attitude by being a team player so it works in their favor

    ReplyDelete
  171. Stephanie looks bored of her own promo.

    ReplyDelete
  172. He's shrunk since his wrestling days.

    ReplyDelete
  173. I would say that it's possible no matter where they are.

    ReplyDelete
  174. Don't worry folks, the road to BoD Survivor Series will be paved tonight!

    ReplyDelete
  175. That's a great way of describing him. He's very well-rounded.

    ReplyDelete
  176. Ryback got the mini version of Hogan's weightbelt

    ReplyDelete
  177. He's a team player.

    ReplyDelete
  178. Whatever happened to the Goldberg chants?

    ReplyDelete
  179. He's got a new hat!

    ReplyDelete
  180. Ryback is really trying to get over "Big Guy". Nice belt jackass.

    ReplyDelete
  181. Biff Kensington III and his Dirty Bastards, Inc. are the ace in the hole.

    ReplyDelete
  182. Yeah, its a lame and generic script. Tough to get inspired with that.

    ReplyDelete
  183. "Yep Mode" Abeyance Brown ©November 17, 2014 at 6:12 PM
