Howdy Blog O'Doomers!
Wanted to hit on a bunch but don't have time.
Watched the Savage doc. I didn't feel the need to get too much into his wrestling so I enjoyed more of the total life aspect they went with. Even though Lanny is probably covering for him a bit in terms of the Elizabeth stuff I appreciate that younger brother had his back.
It was good stuff but a lot of it hit home because I've driven down the road in Seminole he had his fateful accident hundreds of times. I knew the complex on Sunset Beach where he had his condo. I've been to the Ferg's sports bar referenced many times. I know some of the people that wrote the stories in the newspaper clips so it was kind of nice to hear all these local people in my community speak so highly of him. And the fact that he was, at least by the accounts in the documentary, happy and committed to spending his days with his family and wife makes the sudden death all that much more sad.
Anyway also watched WM a second time, this time on the big screen and the Orton-Rollins was much better than I thought. Really good stuff. Still a great main event that told a pretty good little story. Good stuff.
I wonder where they are going to go with some guys. What do you do with Rusev if you want Cena to have a good title reign? There's not a lot of money in a heel chasing a face for a title. And with Rollins holding the World strap that won't be a possible route.
What do you do with Bray? He's completely directionless. I think they need to get the Wyatt Family back in another form. Obviously Harper is fine without him but Rowan could come back. Or I suggested in a thread to form a new family with real-life brother Bo Dallas and a third guy like Rhyno, who can be used as enforcing veteran to back the young guys and help them get over while taking some falls for them. Or go the full Raven route and give him a Flock. Throw Zach Ryder and Heath Slater and other guys that aren't doing anything. His gimmick is one that he needs to be leading a stable of some sort.

ReplyDeleteKudos to the three guys trying to start a Marlins chant.
ReplyDeleteWhy was there a rain delay in Miami today? They have a retractable roof!?
ReplyDeleteI'm more excited for Podcast Is Jericho with John Cena, since I'm expecting a total glad-handing shitshow.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it doesn't close in under a few minutes.
ReplyDeleteI figured they'd have that shit closed already if they expect rain in the forecast. Though I guess it's south Florida so it rains all the time.
ReplyDeleteChris Jericho is almost intolerable these days. He really needs to go away for awhile.
ReplyDeleteJ ROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
ReplyDeleteNo one goes away in the "YOU GET A PODCAST! YOU GET A PODCAST! EVERYBODY GETS A PODCAST!" era.
ReplyDeleteWe are TO THE NINTH in Miami. Let's go Craig Kimbre...
ReplyDeleteOh, that's right.
Have Bray corrupt his brother Bo and let the two of them dominate the tag scene for a while.
ReplyDeleteThe Toddfather comes up HUGE for the Redlegs.
ReplyDeleteAny new tag team is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteGod damn Frazier
ReplyDeleteThe BoD Fantasy Baseball League is in full swing, and after a hot start thanks to Troy Tulowitzki, Stranger's Dangers have come down to earth. My opponent, thankfully, has a shittier offense than I do. Now if only somebody would use a closer.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised the market hasn't thinned things out
ReplyDeleteI just started listening to him again lately and he seems quite insufferable. Plus Fozzy sucks.
ReplyDeleteHmm.... Chikara put their title on Hallowicked. Cool! Neat that the title just switched between two of their first year students.
ReplyDeleteGo figure that the guys I put on the bench go a combined 5 for 11.
ReplyDeleteI think he's ac a pretty good interviewer. But my god, the advertisements and everything prior to the interviews is horrible. Like when he sings and tells you to click at the top of the paag-ey
ReplyDeleteGreat now it's time for Chapman to make the Pirates look like morons. Oh well, long long season.
ReplyDeleteBooyah! Score one for the Bravos! Only 161 to go.
ReplyDelete43,000 buys for Fast Lane. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteVroom vroom
ReplyDeleteIt was Daniel Bryan's fault.
ReplyDeleteWe know who's fault that will be !
ReplyDeleteThe people are in love with Roman, I tell ya.
ReplyDeleteBryan's fault.
ReplyDeleteBecause Florida.
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/MarlinsPark/status/585104088737656833
Down Perischoop already with a couple of HRs in the can.
ReplyDeleteIt was so fucking weird to see him not at SS for the Phils today. And depressing to see Freddy Galvis there instead.
ReplyDeleteBTW great start Blue Jays!
ReplyDeleteAaannnd Chapman gets me a couple of K's and SV.
ReplyDeleteThe only three fans the Marlins have.
ReplyDeleteGreat game for Hanley Ramirez. Sox offense is going to be some good stuff to watch.
ReplyDeleteGood day for the ex Dodgers today. And the Dodgers too
ReplyDeleteI'm digging these Astros unis.
ReplyDeleteAstros game black out here. I thought MLB.tv was lifting the blackout restrictions. I guess that didn't play out.
ReplyDeleteI concur with your Bray idea. Finally give him a cult, and have him be evil, manipulating scum while doing so. Bayley remains available for this.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm watching Dook be champs of your world again, screw Raw.
Tonight on Raw: Steph yells at sports entertainers! Plus, Big Show! Kane! The Authority!
ReplyDeleteAlmost?
ReplyDelete43000 people are really stupid when they could have paid 9.99
ReplyDeleteWho is ditching Raw come 9 for the basketball game?
ReplyDeleteill be watching better call saul
ReplyDeleteJBL?
ReplyDelete-WWE
ReplyDeleteShould rephrase to who is ditching Raw.
ReplyDeleteWho is ditching Raw for the Better Call Saul finale?
ReplyDeleteI use Unlocator for $4.99 per month to get around the blackouts. It also gets me UFC PPVs for $24, and every televised event on FightPass.
ReplyDeleteLike I tell my friend that is an Astros fan: 'You may not be very good, but you still lead the league in giant stupid hills in the field of play!'
ReplyDeleteWho's ditching Raw to get laid?
ReplyDelete.....
.....
.....
......
Hello?
Lol quieter than the New Day or a Rowan entrance.
ReplyDeleteRaw from Austin. I really like Austin. May have a number of mustached fans at the show not seen since early 90's WCW.
ReplyDeletebetter coach: coach k or geno auriemma?
ReplyDeleteK, much more parity to deal with.
ReplyDeleteNo Cole, whoooooooooo
ReplyDeleteI've got double duty. Friggin' opening day for the SF Giants AND RAW.
ReplyDeleteTOTALLY DB's fault.
ReplyDeleteUhaa started at performance center today. I'm ready for Uhaa vs Zayn.
ReplyDeleteDanielle said that like a year ago and everyone on the blog shit on her for "fantasy booking". Beware. :(
ReplyDeleteThe Bray character is dead! He's a complete loser than never did anything in WWE. Time for a repackage.
ReplyDeleteWisconsin wins, I win the BOD March Madness Pool.
ReplyDeleteWhich is beyond sad.
ReplyDeleteI was eliminated on opening day. That's what I get for going out on a limb.
ReplyDeleteUhaa Nations is the good Bobby Lashley.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched Raw in ages.
ReplyDeleteOnly watches NXT and the PPV's crew checking in.
Character had so much potential and they flushed it all away. IMO, he was dead before WM though.
ReplyDeleteAnd now ESPN is stealing Kimmel's mean tweets bit. They didn't even acknowledge it.
ReplyDeleteI'm penciling in the M's to win the A.L. West.
ReplyDeleteI'm catching the Saul replay.
ReplyDeleteDisney synergy
ReplyDeleteThey're both owned by the same company
ReplyDeleteI don't even know how to pronounce that guy's name. I feel like the substitute teacher on key and peele
ReplyDeleteIt's not the first time they've done Mean Tweets
ReplyDeleteEven more reason to say 'We took a page from Jimmy Kimmel. Check him out weeknights on ABC' or something.
ReplyDelete"but he beat cena and kane and bryan and ambrose so he must be over"- vince
ReplyDeleteBut sexton :/
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Bayley she just reminds you of the type of girl who is a freak in private i.e. standing reverse anal, but could also get a bit obsessed with you i.e. bunny rabbit boil.
ReplyDeleteThey went years without crediting outside sources for scoops/stories, so it's just another day at The World Wide Leader.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Vince to do commentary. At least you will finally understand what he's trying to say with this stuff.
ReplyDeleteand I doubt Kimmel will call them out on it like Daniel Tosh did.
ReplyDeleteHe'd probably leave a script with Hayes in Gorilla of stuff to shout in his headset.
ReplyDeleteWatching mania 20 and on the women's match. Lawler on a rant about panties and what color Ross wears. Just creepy as fuck.
ReplyDeleteBAAAAAAAAAAAAACK body drop!
ReplyDeleteGiants will probably be up 4-0 by the 4th.
ReplyDeletei vote for art donovan (even if he did pass away); just use recordings of him
ReplyDeleteWith the various stories about sound chicanery from last week, should we just assume at this point that anything other than huge boos for Reigns is just getting fucked with? It seems so, lol.
ReplyDeleteNames of WWE's roster when you translate its India site:
ReplyDeletehttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/CB21MD7UgAA8wTt.jpg
They should repackaged Bray Wyatt as Bo Dallas' cousin Luke Memphis.
ReplyDeleteEmma as Whatever loooooooooooooool
ReplyDeleteNone can stand against the mighty Enzo Things!
ReplyDeleteCoach K. Women's basketball has, what, three teams that are worth a damn?
ReplyDeleteRight now it's 'OOH ha'. In a few weeks it will be Felix Longsworth.
ReplyDeleteSexton with someone else to talk to's still better than Cole.
ReplyDeleteIf Aoki hits 4 HR's, maybe... :(
ReplyDeleteso his name is what al pacino said 5000 times in "scent of a woman"
ReplyDeleteA ton a singles and doubles is how I see us doing our scoring and MAYBE a homer.
ReplyDeleteHe's not as tough as Bray and White.
ReplyDeleteI'm tapping out on RAW tonight if it starts with the Authority.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the mid 90s heel Lawler. After "puppies" he became unbearable. Then in the PG era and face turn, he just became lame.
ReplyDeleteMe, my wife and a couple of buddies are having a couple of pre show drinks before the Testament/Exodus show. You Doomies have an awesome night
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's how it's gotta be done. Pence out is a huge loss.
ReplyDeleteThen you should probably just call it a night now.
ReplyDeleteJust some good ole boys
ReplyDeleteNever meaning no harm..
I will clarify: if Seth Rollins comes out, I may stay. But the moment I hear King of King or Idiot Tits' music...
ReplyDeleteRoman Reigns isn't bad, guys. He's just doing his Natural Disasters impression.
ReplyDelete"Uhaa.. got them all in check"
ReplyDeleteMeans you get the DVD of the Ahmed Johnson shoot and to pick the next four shoots that I review
ReplyDeleteHas the "Raw after the Raw after Wrestlemania" ever been any good?
ReplyDeleteI'd actually like it if Rollins Honky Tonked his way to next year's WM remaining champ. I doubt he will make it past Summerslam though.
ReplyDeleteJericho has been sad all day on Twitter over people saying his podcast will be corporate ass kissing.
ReplyDeleteI would sell each and every one of you out to the NSA to motorboat Christina Hendricks:
ReplyDeletehttp://imgur.com/PwTzH2A
Just give Bray some quality wins. He'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteCan you blame him? That's what he's kind of turned into.
ReplyDeleteJericho is one of those people who's famous despite not having thick enough skin to be famous.
ReplyDeleteDidn't the Y2J HHH title switch in 2000 happen on the Raw after Raw after WM? Or was that the third or fourth one? having trouble remember.
ReplyDeletePunk left after one of them.
ReplyDeleteHe's doing whatever they tell him, which is part of the fucking problem.
ReplyDelete"But guys, now I'm TOTALLY gonna ask a tough question with no followup that I can point to afterward! Just wait, idiots!"
ReplyDeleteThey sure didn't waste any time putting Neville in the opening.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry he will go trought the WWE name generator soon enough
ReplyDeleteOver under on the WWE doing everything in its power to make Roman Reigns look like the second coming of Jesus of Nazareth tonight?
ReplyDeleteHey! No Cole! That's a plus.
ReplyDeleteFuck JBL and Booker T are back
ReplyDeletegreat/horrible scene with her last night on mad men
ReplyDeleteSee? No Michael Cole. RIP.
ReplyDeleteGive him back his family.
ReplyDeleteOh no, I was actually looking forward to more of Saxton and Lawler actually calling matches and not arguing about bullshit again.
ReplyDeleteThe song never dies!
ReplyDeleteWOuldn't hurt, but I don't think it's entirely necessary.
ReplyDeleteMichael Cole. Still dead.
ReplyDeleteI miss Cole.
ReplyDeleteByron is FUCKING AWFUL.
ReplyDeleteHow does he get a second chance after last week? Because he's handsome?
Way to sell shit with a big dumb smile JBL....
ReplyDeleteSaid no one ever.
ReplyDeleteGoddammit. Brock didn't kill enough of them.
ReplyDelete"So John Cena, what's the deal with those tiny towel ?"
ReplyDeleteMay his soul be at peace since there's no 6 people talking into his headset anymore.
ReplyDeleteKill this fucking song already
ReplyDeleteByron Saxton is terrible. But it's the brand of terrible that tastes more palatable than the the shit sandwich we were getting before last week. And why the fuck are they still rehashing WrestleMania results? It's been more than a week, people know by now. Let's get a move on.
ReplyDeleteI hate this song so much.
ReplyDeleteWish Brock would have killed this song.
ReplyDeleteAUTHORI-TAH
ReplyDeleteLet's recap the PPV from two weeks ago. Sure, why not?
ReplyDeleteI see fish and bread - I'm out.
ReplyDeleteHow can you say that? Wrestling has had enough tragedies.
ReplyDelete*hand hovers over the mat*
ReplyDeleteIT'S THE ASCENSION!
ReplyDeleteOh wait, it's Seth Rollins.
Jesus. That's one hell of a push up bra.
ReplyDeleteSaxton is so damn bland. Certainly to say I miss Cole is hyperbole...but I'd rather Renee or even Tom Philips
ReplyDeleteThis trophy is having an abnormally long life.
ReplyDeleteRemember, average boos means huge boos, silence means REALLY huge boos.
ReplyDeleteIt's been imbedded into my brain so much, I've been humming it.
ReplyDeleteI hope Seth has been watching The Bock. He could do a pretty credible version of such a reign.
ReplyDeletehe needs to grab that brass ring tonight or he will be fired
ReplyDeleteThere hasn't been a stable with such a discrepancy between the quality of its top guy and the rest of the canon fodder since the Rock went full douche heel in the Nation of Domination in 1997.
ReplyDeleteUnlike Michael Cole.
ReplyDeleteThe silence during the announce team angle was a little slice of heaven. That's how.
ReplyDeleteDID YOU KNOW: That new Wrestlemania song is topping the charts in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. They use it to torture the Taliban, but that's beside the point..
ReplyDeleteMan, look at the size of Big Show.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't sell out, he bought in.
ReplyDeleteLook at the size of his hands!
ReplyDeleteWell said Seth.
ReplyDeleteHe cashed in
ReplyDeleteTV just doesn't do him justice.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't OWE any of you people an explanation!
ReplyDeletehow much do his hands weigh?
ReplyDeleteIs Noble the D'Lo of the group?
ReplyDeleteBelt looks good on Rollins.
ReplyDeleteIf only I were there in person to appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteSTEEL HANDS
ReplyDeleteI don't know about you guys, but I am DYING to find out who's going to be facing Rollins, Kane, and Show in the main event!
ReplyDeleteI asked Michael Cole. He said 200 pounds each.
ReplyDeleteRollins heat is insane
ReplyDeleteI feel an illogical need to contradict you.
ReplyDeleteSETH ROLLINS SUCKS!!!!
Don't know. The average human head is about 8 pounds though.
ReplyDeleteAt least as much as the 957 lb stairs.
ReplyDeleteSeth Rollins can out-douche the bastard spawn of Kim Kardashian and Kanye.
ReplyDeleteOrton, Ryback and Reigns
ReplyDeleteTherefore Jericho will prove everyone wrong by asking 1 or 2 hard hitting questions and then spend 55 minutes ass kissing.
ReplyDelete"The Authority always wins"
ReplyDeleteBoth in kayfabe and in real life.
I never liked the phrase "you sold out." You want them to nearly kill themselves for little pay just to please their fans.
ReplyDeleteTHIS time...no disqualification!
ReplyDeleteFinally... some fresh matchups.
ReplyDeleteStill going with the Sting burial...
ReplyDeleteLilian ripping up the script in disgust!
ReplyDeleteKane.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Kane was there!
I'm glad Seth is getting a chance to talk and will certainly not be interrupted.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I read this as Otunga, Ryback, and Reigns.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I laff'd
ReplyDeleteI think Willie Mays would object to Show being labelled as the Greatest Giant of All Time.
ReplyDeleteKane was there!
ReplyDeleteUgh Seth speaking on behalf of HHH is worse than HHH himself speaking. Well...almost
ReplyDeleteChrist. Could we fucking drop the whole WCW thing, PLEASE?
ReplyDeleteMan, RAW is so gonna beat Nitro in the ratings tonight.
ReplyDeleteKane was there too, hahaha. Nice derisive cheer by the fans there.
ReplyDeleteKane was there!
ReplyDeleteI love you, Seth.
It's all the people who got mad at Lebron for leaving Cleveland when he got offered a veritable shit-load of money and a nicer climate.
ReplyDeleteYeah, despite sounding like he's reading from a script. Imagine how he'd be if they let him do his own thing.
ReplyDelete...goddammit...
ReplyDelete
