So, two cool things of note. One, Vader is reported to be considering moving to Florida to help work with people in NXT, which can really help some of the bigger guys down there. Two, and more immediate, the WWE is looking to create a new United States Championship for John Cena and has begun commissioning artwork. Huzzah!
There's something that just makes me both laugh and shake me head knowing that from March 2nd of this year, Petco has owned the the trademark to "Monday Night Raw."
I was watching some of Punk's old OVW promos and it's pretty cute to see Punk and Maria's relationship develop on screen from week to week lol. The interviews were like Roman Reigns and Renee Young to the 20th power
I wasn't sure if it was real as well, but from seeing this article http://www.wboc.com/story/28184208/unleashed-by-petco-launches-monday-night-raw-next-level-nutrition-series I double checked the US trademark and patent website and it's there and registered to Petco.
Justin Roberts talks about WWE's PR-motivated Connor stuff: https://medium.com/@JustinRoberts/believe-half-of-what-you-see-and-portions-of-what-you-hear-296f34743af4
For fans of older cartoons, a three day Bugs Bunny marathon begins at 5AM tomorrow on Boomerang. Unlike WWE Network, I bet there won't be one cartoon that gets re-ran before the marathon is over.
So Randy Orton's new shirt has Venom written on the front in giant letters? Wonder if they'll get a call from Marvel over that? Venom's got to be a tough trademark to maintain though.
It's weird that Bischoff used to book people to a match with the 7 FOOT, 300 POUND MONSTER KANE! And now Kane is booking people to a match with the 7 FOOT, 500 POUND GIANT BIG SHOW!
Natalya vs. Naomi has become quite the interesting little mini-feud. They repeat a lot of the same spots, but they're definitely trying out there and are looking pretty good.
Also, LOL at the piped cheers for the Roman Reigns visual. I'm sure that was legit.
I read the entire thing. I did not get that message at all. He said everyone was nice and friends with Connor. He then questioned WWE's motive because of the Tweet sent out by Steph, that's all. He even credited Steph as being very nice and friends with Connor multiple times.
Yeah, it's dumb. People will always have a cynical attitude about businesses' involvement in charity, but give the benefit of the doubt since it's (theoretically) doing good. But when you come out and blatantly strip all pretenses, everybody will just see that you're full of shit. Why would she EVER tweet something like that?!
Exactly. WWE,for all the shilling they do, were actually getting the benefit of the doubt with the Connor and Make-a-Wish stuff. Now, when they try the whole "are you gonna boo the guy who does make-a-wish" stuff, Cena will absolutely get booed because it's full of shit.
Great stuff. As someone who worked in PR for a major company, I can testify that this stuff is twisted into "how can we use charity to enhance our #brand" It's kinda gross.
Judging by the Cornette shoot, Vader seems like one of those guys that on the surface you wouldn't want to run into in a dark alley, but in reality, is a total sweetheart.
It's not idiotic at all. It's how the world works. A shit ton of good is done based solely on PR, or tax purposes, or just to makes yourself feel good. Who gives a shit what the reason is?
THAT'S what's going on; my feed is ahead of everyone else's apparently. I've blown past that match and the Roman Reigns interview and am already onto the next match. Weird...
I'm stuck with a standard def TV for the moment so I can't fully capitalize on DirecTV HD, but even downscaled HD blows standard def completely out of the water.
But uh, Andre was part of that draw and won the match in sur. series. That's a little different than a rumble appearance. So not so much a "fact" more like a "i'll narrow down criteria so it fits to something interesting."
It's just a bunch of meaningless buzzwords at some bullshit SXSW thing. With their corporate speak, they were probably talking about raising awareness.
He needs to learn to do the sheltered interviews, first. This one is pretty bad; he looks uncomfortable and is wholly unnatural on the microphone. The dude acts like he has stage fright in these deals.
"It's the way brands are going to win" sounds a lot more like something focused on the image of a company than actually raising awareness. Make people think you're socially conscious and do good things, get more customers. The charity's just an agent for strengthening your brand, and actually saying it out loud is negates the whole thing.
In its entire history, SmackDown has only been superior to Raw for like eight months, back in 2002-2003. Otherwise it's been the reject dumping ground.
Kane should have a mid life crisis. Then he'll buy a big red hummer. Then he'll start running people over with it. The white hummer will return to oppose the big red hummer. Then it'll be the big red hummer vs the white hummer at SummerSlam!
Roman's delusion is so awesome. This has to be a heel turn; I don't mean this as there is an intentional heel turn, rather than these are things a heel would say and the fans will keep him a heel.
I was reading Petrie's reviews from 2000 and he said SmackDown was oftentimes more eventful than Raw back then. I guess since WCW was in the shitter they could take Raw easy and focus on the larger network TV audience.
The Reigns promo is stupid. First of all, it's bullshit; he wasn't about to beat Lesnar in any way, shape or form. He ate a fucking F5 right before the cash-in, so please explain how that's '30 seconds from winning'? Unless he was just going to no-sell it. Secondly, when asked what the message was to Brock by laughing at him, 'that was the message' is an idiotic answer. Third, 'didn't have a counter for my counter' is too funny to even mock.
Also, Austin would regularly appear on SD in 2000 and 2001. He wouldn't always wrestle, but he always at least appeared in a backstage segment or promo.
I was going to compare it to those classic NWA promos where they'd run B-roll and the heel would lie his ass off about what was happening, but Roman Reigns is not an Anderson.
They're stuck in between a rock and a hard place with Reigns. He can't be the cocky face because he just comes off as a douche and he can't be smiling babyface because he'll just be Cena 2.0

ReplyDeleteOutta nowhere
ReplyDeleteSo, two cool things of note. One, Vader is reported to be considering moving to Florida to help work with people in NXT, which can really help some of the bigger guys down there. Two, and more immediate, the WWE is looking to create a new United States Championship for John Cena and has begun commissioning artwork. Huzzah!
ReplyDelete"If a drugged out prick yells at you to get up and calls you a fat piece of shit, just cry, it works everytime"
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of the Vader training NXT-ers, I really hope it's just the guy who played Donovan McNabb on It's Always Sunny.
ReplyDeleteIf he doesn't have what it takes to get his own kid over in the big leagues, how can help anyone else?
ReplyDeleteFeel the BANG
ReplyDeletefinally got the network...man, NXT is worth the monthly cost alone. Holy shit I'm enjoying this binge watch.
ReplyDeleteIf you have a fat asshole taking liberties with rookies, better Vader than DeMott.
ReplyDeleteAssuming The Nasty Boys aren't available.
ReplyDeleteThere's something that just makes me both laugh and shake me head knowing that from March 2nd of this year, Petco has owned the the trademark to "Monday Night Raw."
ReplyDeleteIf they pay in cases of Natural Ice, Knobbs will be there.
ReplyDeleteReally don't need "Monday Night" as part of the title. WWE RAW is just fine.
ReplyDeleteI hereby claim the trademark for ICOPRO!
ReplyDelete"Is that a trident made of dildos?"
ReplyDelete"I don't know what a trident is but these ARE dildos!"
Forgot how much I like The League.
There's a team in my fantasy baseball league called Fear Boners.
ReplyDeleteMonday Night has been a huge part of the name for years now.
ReplyDeleteIs that true? Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard this story but with WWE's crack legal team i'm not the least bit surprised.
ReplyDeleteThere's a Murder Boners three years running in mine.
ReplyDeleteWe all know it's Monday night. Kinda redundant.
ReplyDeleteExpiring contracts, expiring marks...Still on the ball after all these years.
ReplyDeleteWe all know SNL is on Saturday too but it'd be incredible stupid if they called it NBC Live.
ReplyDeleteShe's a smoke show but Thea on Arrow is approaching GET OFF MY TV DAMNIT status.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but they're smart enough not to let the trademark on the title expire.
ReplyDeleteI was watching some of Punk's old OVW promos and it's pretty cute to see Punk and Maria's relationship develop on screen from week to week lol. The interviews were like Roman Reigns and Renee Young to the 20th power
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure if it was real as well, but from seeing this article http://www.wboc.com/story/28184208/unleashed-by-petco-launches-monday-night-raw-next-level-nutrition-series I double checked the US trademark and patent website and it's there and registered to Petco.

ReplyDeleteHEY ROCK LOBSTER
ReplyDeleteI'm... so sorry for you loss
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/01/us/gary-dahl-inventor-of-the-pet-rock-dies-at-78.html?_r=0
Dad?
ReplyDeleteDAAAAADDDDDD!!!!!!!
Shoot Interview poll is up
ReplyDeletehttp://vote.pollcode.com/94767224
I have a crush on Felicity. You gotta love a sexy nerdy chick.
ReplyDeleteThose guys better not fail him...for the last time.
ReplyDeleteSHE'S A MAN, BABEE
ReplyDeleteMatt and Helms better be filmed in a Waffle House.
ReplyDeleteShe's been that way for me from Season 1 Episode 1 on.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but if you can get rich selling rocks to people as pets, you're a pimp.
ReplyDeleteThat is indeed the bitchiest character
ReplyDeleteFor fans of older cartoons, a three day Bugs Bunny marathon begins at 5AM tomorrow on Boomerang. Unlike WWE Network, I bet there won't be one cartoon that gets re-ran before the marathon is over.
ReplyDeleteThis is the only Thea in my life:
ReplyDeletehttp://wrestlingnews.co/lop/2014/10/image.jpg
Not sure i can handle another 2 hours of Byron Saxton the play by play guy who desperately needs a nap.
ReplyDeleteA new design for the US Title? PLEASE DO NOT BRING BACK THE SPINNER
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm not sure I can handle... your.. butt... smell
ReplyDeleteOh wait, they've got Tom Phillips out there along with Byron & The King, thank god for that at least.
ReplyDeleteLED! LED! LED!
ReplyDeleteHoly. Fucking. Shit. I am ALL OVER this.
ReplyDeleteI guess JBL needed some actual surgery and that was a way to get a story out of it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a honky, that guy. Damn straight his name is Tom
ReplyDeleteJust like the Jeffersons
The title looks like a million bucks on Seth. Dude's got presence.
ReplyDeleteAnd within ten seconds, Randy Orton vs. Big Show? Fuck no, adios SmackDown.
IT'S THE ASCENSION!
ReplyDeleteOh wait, it's Seth Rollins.
Hilarious that they didn't design a Russian version of it for Rusev but John Cena has it...Brand spanking new and make it on the double.
ReplyDeleteHopefully he's getting a "good color guy" transplant
ReplyDeleteI voted for Matt and Helms. No regrets.
ReplyDeleteAnd there'll be Looney Tunes Show episodes thrown in there too. So there's plenty of material to cover.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a dick. Fuck Roberts.
ReplyDeleteI just wishes the title itself looked better.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure after the 30th time he called her a stupid bitch, it was love.
ReplyDeleteHe sounds like that Al Gore doll from The Simpsons.
ReplyDeleteWade Keller was all over Steph last week for retweeting some shit about how PR sob-stories is just smart marketing and nothing more.
ReplyDeleteDid you read it? It was basically a long ass diatribe on how he is more friends with the cancer baby than anyone else. Pathetic.
ReplyDeleteToday's Fun Fact:
ReplyDeleteR-Truth has main evented as many PPVs as Andre The Giant.
That's the best looking WWE Title Belt of all time.
ReplyDeleteThe Miz headlined more WrestleManias than Lou Thesz.
ReplyDeleteNow you made me imagine Seth with the Million Dollar Title.
ReplyDeleteSteve Lombardi drew more money than Abraham Lincoln
ReplyDeleteCapitol Combat and?
ReplyDeleteSurvivor Series
ReplyDeleteWHAT'S UP
ReplyDeleteThat was Miz/Truth vs Rock/Cena?
ReplyDeleteVoted for Raven and a Sinister Minister.
ReplyDeleteLord Littlebrook wrestled in front of bigger crowds than the Big Show
ReplyDeleteSo Randy Orton's new shirt has Venom written on the front in giant letters? Wonder if they'll get a call from Marvel over that? Venom's got to be a tough trademark to maintain though.
ReplyDeleteShelton Benjamin main evented zero PPVs.
ReplyDeleteDate with Girlfriend tomorrow, OHHH YEAAHH
ReplyDeleteYes. Awesome Truth.
ReplyDeleteThere's a Venom mma clothing brand, they never called them out.
ReplyDeleteAndre had WM 3, Summer Slam tag match, and a Survivor Series match. Did Truth have a 3rd I'm forgetting?
ReplyDeleteIt's weird that Bischoff used to book people to a match with the 7 FOOT, 300 POUND MONSTER KANE! And now Kane is booking people to a match with the 7 FOOT, 500 POUND GIANT BIG SHOW!
ReplyDeleteAnd a Venom heavy metal band that's been around for 40+ years.
ReplyDeleteGIRLFRIEND SUCKS YOU
ReplyDeleteCLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP
Never got into Venom.
ReplyDeleteMe neither.
ReplyDeleteEven though he concluded with Steph tweeting that philanthropy is the way to make money?
ReplyDeleteComing up on 5 years of his WWE release.
ReplyDeleteI never expected him to not come back but here we are.
And Paul Diamond on TWA.
ReplyDeleteNatalya vs. Naomi has become quite the interesting little mini-feud. They repeat a lot of the same spots, but they're definitely trying out there and are looking pretty good.
ReplyDeleteAlso, LOL at the piped cheers for the Roman Reigns visual. I'm sure that was legit.
He's back? In pog form?
ReplyDeleteI read the entire thing. I did not get that message at all. He said everyone was nice and friends with Connor. He then questioned WWE's motive because of the Tweet sent out by Steph, that's all. He even credited Steph as being very nice and friends with Connor multiple times.
ReplyDeleteWhat show are you watching? If you watch a taped version of Smackdown and talk about stuff after fast forwarding it fucks the rest of us up.
ReplyDeleteGonna be censored up the wazoo.
ReplyDeleteI can't get into Naomi now that they prevented wardrobe malfunctions.
ReplyDeleteBUT NOT MORE THAN ME!
ReplyDeleteI know they influenced a lot of bands, never been a black metal guy besides Mercyful Fate/King Diamond.
ReplyDeleteNo, but i always expected him to, but after 5 years i'd say that ship has officially sailed.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Shelton have a try out like a year or two ago?
ReplyDeleteKane's the only guy in the business who could possibly take the RKO bump on his hip.
ReplyDeleteRetire you fuck.
I don't count 10+ man matches. Otherwise Truth would have him beat with Royal Rumble appearances.
ReplyDeleteor how he took the pedigree on his knee.
ReplyDeleteWhy the fuck would Shelton Benjamin need a try out? Hire him back or don't.
ReplyDelete... It's playing right now on Syfy.
ReplyDeleteSo I'll take that as a yes.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's dumb. People will always have a cynical attitude about businesses' involvement in charity, but give the benefit of the doubt since it's (theoretically) doing good. But when you come out and blatantly strip all pretenses, everybody will just see that you're full of shit. Why would she EVER tweet something like that?!
ReplyDeleteVenom is one of those bands who's first couple albums were influential then released three decades worth of material not alot of people cared about.
ReplyDeleteShe didn't, she was quoting a dude who said that. And there is absolutely zero wrong with that statement anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt was a distasteful statement.
ReplyDeleteDean Ambrose drops a smelly deuce. Wow, alright.
ReplyDeleteDaniel Bryan Vs Sheamus...tonight.
ReplyDeleteThis fucking company man.
Like Metallica, rides on the coattails of the first albums.
ReplyDeleteGrow up.
ReplyDeleteExactly. WWE,for all the shilling they do, were actually getting the benefit of the doubt with the Connor and Make-a-Wish stuff. Now, when they try the whole "are you gonna boo the guy who does make-a-wish" stuff, Cena will absolutely get booed because it's full of shit.
ReplyDeleteCheck for WrestleMania banners!
ReplyDeleteThe one with the baby bank robber was on today. The only thing cut was the gun scene. The bat hits, shaken baby...all left in.
ReplyDeleteHOW THE FUCK DID REIGNS HAVE LESNAR BEAT!?
ReplyDeleteBrock hit Reigns with the F5, and then Seth Rollins came out! Fuck, I don't get it.
A new Cena version would sell a lot more replicas to belt marks and plastic ones to kids
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. As someone who worked in PR for a major company, I can testify that this stuff is twisted into "how can we use charity to enhance our #brand" It's kinda gross.
ReplyDeleteWhat does that have to do with me, Shelton Benjamin>
ReplyDeleteWe're talking about me, R-Truth
There's no proof of Vader being 1/1000th of the asshole DeMott is
ReplyDeleteShe didn't exactly go out of her way to debunk that statement or rag on him for how idiotic that sounds.....
ReplyDeleteI don't think anything I've said warranted that response. We'll just agree to disagree on the story.
ReplyDeleteJudging by the Cornette shoot, Vader seems like one of those guys that on the surface you wouldn't want to run into in a dark alley, but in reality, is a total sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteDoes SmackDown not have commercials this week or something? I've been watching for 30 minutes and they've been going non-stop.
ReplyDeleteVince McMahon reality show
ReplyDelete*Shakes Khalifa's hand*
Vince: Who's the negro?
Dunn: Some rap guy, you can't make him dance for you
LOL at Natalya and Uso's Wife doing a RVD/Jerry Lynn faceoff spot.
ReplyDeleteIt's not idiotic at all. It's how the world works. A shit ton of good is done based solely on PR, or tax purposes, or just to makes yourself feel good. Who gives a shit what the reason is?
ReplyDeleteKane doesn't bump at all anymore. Pointless for him to wrestle.
ReplyDeleteYeah, i'm watching Smackdown up here in the hinterland and the Divas match just started a minute ago.
ReplyDeleteI'm not arguing that at all, it's more of why you would admit or even quote something that says that.
ReplyDeleteNikki: Naomi doesn't have "it" to be champion. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S what's going on; my feed is ahead of everyone else's apparently. I've blown past that match and the Roman Reigns interview and am already onto the next match. Weird...
ReplyDeleteShoot comments.....?
ReplyDeleteI'm stuck with a standard def TV for the moment so I can't fully capitalize on DirecTV HD, but even downscaled HD blows standard def completely out of the water.
ReplyDeleteBut uh, Andre was part of that draw and won the match in sur. series. That's a little different than a rumble appearance. So not so much a "fact" more like a "i'll narrow down criteria so it fits to something interesting."
ReplyDeleteAnother sheltered pre-taped Roman Reigns interview?
ReplyDeleteHe's gotta learn sometime Vince.
She's doing commentary with Brie. Not very good of course.
ReplyDeleteIt's just a bunch of meaningless buzzwords at some bullshit SXSW thing. With their corporate speak, they were probably talking about raising awareness.
ReplyDeleteYou'll never make it to the top laying down for a mid-carder. At least John Cena is smart enough not to marry the broad.
ReplyDeleteI hope they lose passion for THIS BUSINESS soon and decide not to renew.
ReplyDeleteI think Nikki's tank top said the real Bella is here.
ReplyDeleteWhatever that means.
He needs to learn to do the sheltered interviews, first. This one is pretty bad; he looks uncomfortable and is wholly unnatural on the microphone. The dude acts like he has stage fright in these deals.
ReplyDeleteAre you ahead in time zone? It's coming up next for me. Are you in Atlantic Time or something?
ReplyDeleteI'm in Eastern time zone.
ReplyDeleteI have an easy solution: Just let the motherfucker speak off the cuff. It's obvious he's trying to follow script and it's not working.
ReplyDelete"It's the way brands are going to win" sounds a lot more like something focused on the image of a company than actually raising awareness. Make people think you're socially conscious and do good things, get more customers. The charity's just an agent for strengthening your brand, and actually saying it out loud is negates the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteYeah i saw that merch too. Bella split # 47 coming up soon?
ReplyDeleteIs there any reason HHH & Steph seemingly refuse to work Smackdown? I mean they're backstage anyways right? At least for tv tapings.
ReplyDeleteHHH is possibly in Florida
ReplyDelete¯\(°_°)/¯
ReplyDeleteIt's bad enough they're all over Raw.....
ReplyDeleteIts been cemented as the "B" show for so long that they are not even going to bother with that.
ReplyDeleteHHH will appear on SmackDown every now and then. I've never seen Steph, though.
ReplyDeleteThe WWE Champion on SmackDown? What is this sorcery?
ReplyDeleteIn its entire history, SmackDown has only been superior to Raw for like eight months, back in 2002-2003. Otherwise it's been the reject dumping ground.
ReplyDeleteTitle looks good on him, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteWhen Orton was champion he was there regularly. It's more of a "John Cena doesn't appear on SmackDown" thing than a champion thing.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand how you can have a brand split and Cena never works SmackDown. At least Austin showed up on Smackdown every so often.
ReplyDeleteKane should have a mid life crisis. Then he'll buy a big red hummer. Then he'll start running people over with it. The white hummer will return to oppose the big red hummer. Then it'll be the big red hummer vs the white hummer at SummerSlam!
ReplyDeleteSo Kane vs Bray Wyatt at SummerSlam confirmed.
ReplyDeleteDoes Big Show get thrown off a building in this scenario?
ReplyDeleteIt proves that it's nt the size of the penis that ales the champion.
ReplyDeleteHouse shows on Friday,Saturday & Sunday then Raw.
ReplyDeleteThe Smackdown schedule itself lends itself to being marginalized.
I dunno. Was it ever revealed who the driver of the white hummer was?
ReplyDeleteOh ffs, "I don't think he had a counter for my counter".......fuck this guy
ReplyDeleteThat title is awful.
ReplyDeleteThis Reigns promo is not very good.
ReplyDelete"Lesnar didn't have a counter for my counter". His counter being punches to the face.
Yeah, bullshit.
Well it's Bray Wyatt now.
ReplyDeleteRoman's delusion is so awesome. This has to be a heel turn; I don't mean this as there is an intentional heel turn, rather than these are things a heel would say and the fans will keep him a heel.
ReplyDeleteI was reading Petrie's reviews from 2000 and he said SmackDown was oftentimes more eventful than Raw back then. I guess since WCW was in the shitter they could take Raw easy and focus on the larger network TV audience.
ReplyDeleteSounds like canned crowd reaction.
ReplyDeleteI do not care for this Roman Reigns interview. Not at all.
ReplyDeleteIt's better than the Godawful spinner, at least.
ReplyDeleteThis promo would be awesome if Brock came through the fucking wall like the koolaid guy and just destroys Reigns to the point he's never seen again
ReplyDeleteIf it's not a canned crowd reaction, they need this crowd with them on the road.
ReplyDeleteDid you climb Man Mountain Rock though?
ReplyDeleteThat'll be 500k please.
ReplyDeleteOh no.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the spinner when that actually spinned.
ReplyDeleteThe lady is flying in from California tomorrow for the long weekend. I'm so stoked.
ReplyDelete..."Couple more of these" in a jerk off gesture.......and this is taped........fuck this guy
ReplyDeleteOH YEAH!
ReplyDeleteI think some slight humility would work in Romans favor. Something to humble him a bit. Make him slightly more relatable.
ReplyDeleteHow many murders does the E need to suffer before they learn?!?!
ReplyDeleteDammit, why can't i find the clip where Goldberg stalls his car and is forced to abandon it and chase after whoever the hell he was feuding with?
ReplyDeleteThis happened in 2003 right?
I guess they should be glad that SyFy is making no noise then.
ReplyDeleteHEY VINCE! Your guy is a heel! The people have spoken! Give up!
ReplyDeleteThe Reigns promo is stupid. First of all, it's bullshit; he wasn't about to beat Lesnar in any way, shape or form. He ate a fucking F5 right before the cash-in, so please explain how that's '30 seconds from winning'? Unless he was just going to no-sell it. Secondly, when asked what the message was to Brock by laughing at him, 'that was the message' is an idiotic answer. Third, 'didn't have a counter for my counter' is too funny to even mock.
ReplyDeleteThe smartest guy in all professional wrestling, BROCK LESNAR.
ReplyDeleteWas that when he smashed the windows with his hands and bled everywhere?
ReplyDeleteThe Rock.
ReplyDeleteHe's the uncrowned champion and would have won it too if not for that meddlin' Rollins
ReplyDeleteNo, that was WCW.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Austin would regularly appear on SD in 2000 and 2001. He wouldn't always wrestle, but he always at least appeared in a backstage segment or promo.
ReplyDeleteI was going to compare it to those classic NWA promos where they'd run B-roll and the heel would lie his ass off about what was happening, but Roman Reigns is not an Anderson.
ReplyDeleteThey're stuck in between a rock and a hard place with Reigns. He can't be the cocky face because he just comes off as a douche and he can't be smiling babyface because he'll just be Cena 2.0
ReplyDeleteOr Owen Hart at KOTR '96.
ReplyDeleteHe's got a handful of my tights McMahon!
Roman Reigns is far closer to Shaska Whatley, only he thinks he's still Pistol Pez.
ReplyDeleteIn another universe, perhaps. Not in this one.
ReplyDeleteAt this rate I may be finished with SmackDown by 9:15 PM tonight. This no commercial broadcast is kind of neat, actually.
ReplyDeleteRoman, enbrace the heel side.
ReplyDeleteSomething to humble him, eh? Have Sheiky Baby put him in camel clutch make him humble old country way, bubba
ReplyDeleteIn 2000?
ReplyDeleteCome on now.
