Wresltemania XXVIII Open Thread

We're one hour from bell time and members of my party have started to arrive. Anyone reading that knows where I live and the code into the neighborhood is more than welcome to attend. We have Shock Top on one kegerator and Strongbow Hard Cider on the other.

In case you forgot I love Wrestlemania

I hope you enjoy the show.

Oh yeah, come out swinging but keep it clean guys, it's only the biggest show of the year.


Comments

  1. Let the Marksplosion commence!

    Can't wait, got the kids (8 of them) settled on the floor, the couches full of guys and beer, all the wives/girlfriends shipped off to...wherever girls go during times like these.


    Here's to Punk and Jericho stealing the show!

    ReplyDelete
  2. Scott Stanford is the guy Michael Cole stands next to in a bar to make himself look charismatic. 

    ReplyDelete
  3. World title's starting off the show again!

    lame

    ReplyDelete
  4. Damn hard to predict:

    Winners - Rock, Taker, Jericho, Sheamus, Team Johnny, Orton, Show, Face Divas.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Here we go!!!!


    And HOOOOOLY FUCK @ that crowd

    ReplyDelete
  6. Got the show going, a buffalo chicken calzone is cooking in the oven and my girlfriend is already looking bored as all hell as Lillian belts out "America, the Beautiful." Jericho-Punk opening? Very excited!

    ReplyDelete
  7. <<<333 Lilian Garcia

    Those palm tree supports for the structure over the ring must be damn annoying for the portions of the live crowd....


    Holy shit I'm having a Mark Attack. 

    ReplyDelete
  8. .....Seriously....

    ReplyDelete
  9. Protect yourself at all times.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Was that supposed to be a goof on Aaron Craft from last night or something?

    I guess the good news is that the WHC couldn't have been any more valueless anyway, lol.

    Horrible opener.

    ReplyDelete
  11. The Streak is the new WWE Championship, the WWE Championship is the new World Championship and the World Championship is now the ECW Championship.

    ReplyDelete
  12. WTF???? I was at least hoping for a Danielson wrestling clinic first....

    ReplyDelete
  13. Pretty sure everyone on the blog's gonna hate that...

    ReplyDelete
  14. Or just, you know, a match of any kind...

    ReplyDelete
  15. Yeah, a match would have worked. I paid $55 for this shit. Is this their way of telling me I'm an asshole for not watching a stream?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Seriously. Even my room full of 6-8 year olds could tell that was a bait and switch at best, just purely a dumb fucking idea at worst.

    But don't worry! Now we'll get 12 miniutes of Kane and Orton to make up for it!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I'm sooo glad I didn't pay to see that. But that's the only thing I'm glad about.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Not a good way to start. Bryan gets beat in a heartbeat, followed by Orton-Kane? I'm underwhelmed so far.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Don't worry guys! We'll give you 15 minutes of Kane/Orton to apologize for that dumbfuck of an opener!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Starting to feel more secure in not ordering the show. Sounds like I'd be uber-pissed right now if I had. Though being the nice little choir boy I am, I can't seem to find a safe stream... If anyone, you know, wants to hook a brother up...
     

    ReplyDelete
  21. I was literally a minute away from ordering this thing behind my woman's back before that happened.

    Guess I'll wait until the DVD now

    ReplyDelete
  22. Wow. Just wow.

    It takes quite a lot to get a 'bullshit' chant going that quick.

    Even my completely non-wrestling fan girlfriend said "That completely devalues the title."

    ReplyDelete
  23. By resthold #4 this match is already 28 times longer than the last time we saw the World Heavyweight Title defended.

    Thrilling stuff.

    That'll show the whole front row of the biggest event of the ear to care about D-Bry.

    And yes I'm just filling my time with negativity because this match is so boring that not even my kids are interested and they'll love anyone that wears a mask...except Kane.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'd start by looking around ustream or Asking Jeeves maybe. 

    ReplyDelete
  25. Wow so they've really lost that huge hard-on for Orton haven't they? 

    ReplyDelete
  26. Wow. Kane wins a big match for once.

    ReplyDelete
  27. The ending to that match somewhat redeems it. Hopefully they pick up the pace a little bit, though.

    ReplyDelete
  28. That was a painful 20 minutes for me. I went back to reading a book half-way through it. Can't believe we got such a long Kane Orton match. A now a Deadliest Catch commercial? On a PPV? I can't believe I paid $55 for this shit.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Did Orton shit in Steph's gym bag too? Jobbing to Kane at Wrestlemania? Punk is officially #2 now.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I love the 'E, they're always about five years behind popular culture. Has anyone given a shit about Deadliest Catch since like Season 2?


    I will say though, at least kids mark the fuck out for Santino. My living room has been playing with Lego's the entirety of this PPV.

    I have no doubt that Punk/Jericho/Rock/Cena/HHH/Taker will save this but WOW is the first hour an abomination.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I remember the days when me and my friends would huddle around (a usually scrambled) feed of WrestleMania as kids.  Those were definitely the most fun years to be a fan and it is probably a nice reminder of those times to have so many kids around to enjoy it.  I can't imagine sitting around and watching a show like this with a bunch of us smarky types.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Looks like Cody got his ring jacket from a Jeff Jarrett yard sake.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Seems like they are flying through this show -- 3 matches down in 38 mins?

    ReplyDelete
  34. All of them horrible, maybe they're giving Punk/Jericho 45 minutes or something crazy like that? 

    ReplyDelete
  35. Kids definitely up the mark out quotient by ALOT, that's for sure.

    I miss those old days too, the awful cable scrambling that you could "kind of see through" if you focused hard enough. I bet if I tried that same shit as an adult now I'd vomit.

    The best was going up to my grandpa's cabin in the mountains, he had one of those old monster satellite dishes that you could just straight jack the PPV feed off with no trouble at all.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Your kids have good taste. I'd definitely take a 30 min Santino classic over what we've had so far.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'm now praying for a 60 minute time limit draw with a 30 min overtime.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Well, Show HAD to win or else continue to look like a total chump.  But I have no idea of where you go with Intercontinental Champion Big Show.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Maybe he'll be super dominant and win alot and bring some credibility back to the....lol...I'm sorry I couldn't keep going without falling over laughing.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Push the end of Rock/Cena past the end time so they have to play the end on Raw?


    WHERE THE BIG BOYS PLAY!


    Holy shit people would have a fucking keniption.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I expect Cody to win it right back.

    ReplyDelete
  42. An emotional win for Big Show there. That IC title means so much.

    And now we're getting a long Diva video. Has the first hour just been a big piss-break or what?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Why are the DIvas talking about going to premiers and shows instead of..well, you know..WRESTLING.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Damn, this nuts!  4 of 9 matches gone in less than 50 minutes.   That leaves five matches and almost exactly 3hrs if they go the usual 3hrs and 45 mins or so.  36 minutes a match?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Outdoor Arena = none of the big matches can happen until dark so they can have equally big entrances.

    Now that I've said that I'm actually sort of afraid that it really is the logic behind this lineup. 

    ReplyDelete
  46. Yep. A $55 piss break. At least I've almost finished reading the book I was working on.

    ReplyDelete
  47. It's sad.  Kane vs. Orton is the match to beat thus far.

    ReplyDelete
  48. It's the "time to get my Chinese food" match.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Number 2? I think you're ranking him a little too high

    ReplyDelete
  50. Biggest response in my living room full of 6-8 year olds so far has been: DAMN. 

    ReplyDelete
  51. Nice!  We were sort of lucky here -- our cable company used an older PPV scrambling technique for WWF PPVs -- so we got the picture pretty clear (in black and white though) and somewhat intelligible sound.

    ReplyDelete
  52. So I totally didn't know the show started this early (I'm used to PPVs starting at 7pm central), so I unhappily missed....Sheamus beating Daniel Bryan in 18 seconds?! What the shit is that?? JEFF HARDY vs. STING lasted longer than that!

    Seriously, reread that last sentence if you need help grasping the full weight of that statement.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Prediction: Daniel Bryan runs in to this Divas rubbish and gets pinned, forcing him to become the slave of a returning Chyna.

    ReplyDelete
  54. LOL.  Another loud "Daniel Bryan" chant during the Divas match.  I love the Miami crowd.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Is there another Divas match booked? What are they going to use to chill the crowd down after HIAC?

    This is the most bizarre lineup I could have ever expected.

    I said in another post, and the more I think about it the more it actually sounds logical: Outdoor show = all the big matches have to be back-loaded since you have to wait for dark for the entrances to be suitably epic. 

    ReplyDelete
  56. What's even worse is she's had the best selling of the night....

    ReplyDelete
  57. It's the "Time to sneak outside and smoke a bowl where your kids can't see you" match.

    Or yeah, food too. Sure. 

    ReplyDelete
  58. Eww....what you say is right but I 'm going to ignore it anyway. 

    ReplyDelete
  59. Uh oh... The crowd is chanting for Bryan... That means.... Gah! Bryan better get the heck out of the arena before Kane tries to kill him and AJ starts making out with Cena and Rock at the same time!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Damn, this Miami crowd is just as good as NYC or Chicago.

    ReplyDelete
  61.  Yeah you may be right!  The sun should be setting as we speak there.

    Makes me wonder if they are planning something big for Brock or just planning to throw about 30 minutes of filler out there to fill the rest of the time.  I just don't see all the big matches going that long, although I suppose with entrances that they could.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Still hot as fuck, though.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I wonder if Menunous knew she was playing Ricky Morton.

    ReplyDelete
  64. My kids are shitting on this match. That's right, 6 year olds are shitting on this, even they know the Divas suck.

    I told my oldest, "Why do you think I always tell you to not act like a girl? I don't want you to be a Diva."

    For his part he seemed to understand completely.

    ReplyDelete
  65.  So I see the official BURIAL of Bryan is complete.  How DARE he and
    guys like Ryder get over on the own!  Didn't they get the Vinny Mac
    memo!

    ReplyDelete
  66. I'm trying not to let the Bryan-Sheamus stuff continue to leave a bad taste
    in my mouth, but my god what a horrible way to start a show.

     

    And it doesn't help that Kane-Orton & Show-Rhodes were bores. Oh hey a celeb just beat the Divas champ. Sure, why not.
     

    ReplyDelete
  67. They just had to give Daniel Bryan and Sheamus 18 seconds so we could completely digest this riveting Diva tag team storyline. FUCK YOU VINCE.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Maria Menuos has been worker of the night so far....

    ReplyDelete
  69. I'm not saying I've hated the 1st hour of wrestlemania so far.  I'm just saying that when Scott does his rant, he might need to bring back the SMURF gimmick.  

    ReplyDelete
  70. That a way, job out the only competent female wrestler you have that crowds take seriously to an actress. And IN WHAT UNIVERSE does the Divas tag match get more time than the World Heavyweight Championship? This company needs to die.

    ReplyDelete
  71. HIAC next!

    I think all three main events could easily burn 40 minutes apiece, particularly Cena/Rock as the crowd is going to be FREAKING OUT for that entire match.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Um, who else but Cena is Punk behind in the full time WWE hierarchy?

    ReplyDelete
  73. Woah! JR!!!!

    And he looks like Bossman!

    ReplyDelete
  74. Prediction: JR's pants fall down, he trips over and then Michael Cole bum-rapes him whilst shouting 'Trending! Trending! Trending!"

    Then they announce the cancellation of Rock-Cena.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Ooooooh boy, and now the event actually starts. Thanks for tuning in to Heat everyone!

    ReplyDelete
  76. The over/under on the combined time of the Undertaker and HHH's entrances: 15 minutes.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I'm looking for them to push Rock/Cena so it ends after the PPV stops airing and they have to replay it on Raw.

    I'd have to laugh so hard at the sheer balls of it that I couldn't even be pissed for wasting the money.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Hey, it's 8 pm, time for the event to really start. We've even got JR in the announce booth!

    By the way, when did they drop the heel Michael Cole act? He's been very unbiased today, and even greeted JR. He's been - dare I say it - tolerable tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Great. Now a faulty camera feed blows the money shot of HHH's entrance. This really isn't going well.

    ReplyDelete
  80. By the power of Greyskull, that was an entrance.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Well, I think it goes Cena-Punk as 1-2, so Orton is at least third there.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I'm actually sort of disappointed with HHH's...ALL that Metallica build up and we just get a fairly standard entrance?

    Here's hoping UT rocks that stage. 

    ReplyDelete
  83. After D-Bry if they make the mistake of having UT lose this crowd is fucking DEAD.

    I'm surprised after all that Metallica build-up we got basically standard entrances from both guys, no special music at all? 

    ReplyDelete
  84. LOL

    UT looks like the later Spawns where McFarlane was like "What? People hate my writing? ADD SPIKES!"

    ReplyDelete
  85. Triple H...just sold a hair cut.

    ReplyDelete
  86. 20-OHHH is kind of genius.

    I always love when they get the guys in the ring and then drop the cell down on top of them. It makes it feel SO much more epic.

    That first hour was fucking horrible but I'm no back to marking like a child, and my living room full of kids is FREAKING OUT. 

    ReplyDelete
  87. Jim Ross: "What's happened to The Undertaker?"

    I dunno Jim. He cut off his hair?

    ReplyDelete
  88. Is it just me or does the Undertaker look like a hussy with that all that rouge?  

    ReplyDelete
  89. It's a Mohawk, JR. It's not like the dude has a lobotomy scar.

    ReplyDelete
  90.  Right...that was my point..."Punk is officially #2 now" that Orton is jobbing clean to Kane at Wrestlemania. Clearly Orton no longer occupies that position.

    ReplyDelete
  91. "Carcinogenic right hands" and "dehabilitating" from JR less than a minute into the match.  Welcome back, JR.

    ReplyDelete
  92. The big question is if we will see blood.

    ReplyDelete
  93. By the way, regardless of how this match turns out, hearing Jim Ross makes me feel like this is REALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I laughed out loud on "carcinogenic right hands" and the extra letters he threw into debilitating.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Doesn't look good for blood... all these good spots for juice, and nada. 

    ReplyDelete
  96. Wow, I totally misread that, like, 15 times. I blame the shitty first hour. My bad.

    ReplyDelete
  97. It seems like the Cell is actually sort of limiting them. It looks like we aren't going to get the annual UT dive too.

    Watch now that I've said that they'll both dive off the top onto JR's new abs.

    ReplyDelete
  98. This match has a good aura about it, but it is certainly ... cerebral as JR might say.

    ReplyDelete
  99. "Sinful strength by Triple H!"  LOL, JR is in rare form tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Hunter's bleeding hard way from the eye it looks like 

    ReplyDelete
  101. HHH is bleeding but it looks hard way

    ReplyDelete
  102. "A treacherous thud". How did that thud betray him exactly?

    ReplyDelete
  103. My room full of kids is FREAKING THE FUCK OUT at this stuff. 

    ReplyDelete
  104. The malignancy! Of the Hell's Gate!

    Holy shit <<<<<333333 Jim Ross

    ReplyDelete
  105. Ok, that was awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  106. HOLY SHIT that was an awesome near fall.

    ReplyDelete
  107. I knew Shawn would take the best bumps in the match.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Slobber! Slobber! Slobber!

    ReplyDelete
  109. The Undertaker should have a burst of energy. He was laying on his back for half of the match.

    ReplyDelete
  110. THIS IS AWESOME *clap clap clap clap clap*

    My room full of kids is actually chanting at the TV.

    This is the shit lifetime fandom is made of.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Think Shawn's turned from face to heel and back again 10 times so far this match.

    ReplyDelete
  112.  By the way Michaels is doing a HELL of a job (as usual) of playing the tweener who can't decide who he wants to win. GREAT stuff from the GOAT.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Why this "end of an era" stuff? Is this Taker's last match regardless? Triple H? Who what why?

    ReplyDelete
  114. HOLY. SHIT.

    That was the most epic match I've seen since Rock/Austin 2 at X7.


    Good luck Jericho. Good luck Punk.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Absolutely.  This blows away last year's match by a mile.

    ReplyDelete
  116. I am shocked he didn't pull out the jumping tombstone. Shawn IS better!

    ReplyDelete
  117. That was definitely better than their match from last year.  Shawn helped to add some drama to the slow stretches.

    ReplyDelete
  118. I'm pretty 'eh' on that cell match to be honest.  I didn't expect the cell to come into play since they didn't do blood and all that, but I don't think they had the storyline (not to mention the offense) to support a match that long.  WAY too much laying around.  Punch, punch, punch, finisher, weapon shot, resthold, repeat.  Slobberknocker indeed.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Undertaker: Any last words?
    HHH: Yeah, I got two words for ya...

    ReplyDelete
  120. I'm not sure what purpose of the cell was, but great match nonetheless.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Undertaker's music seems so apporpriate in some situations.

    ReplyDelete
  122. That was beautiful. I don't know how they did it, but they made me think the streak was in doubt not once but TWICE during that fucking match.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Yeah I still think the Cell sort of limited them, they could have had
    that exact same match without the cell and been able to do more
    outside-the-ring stuff.

    I think it was better than last year,
    technically not as good as any of the Shawn/Taker stuff but the emotion
    was fucking insane.

    And we STILL have two epic main events to look forward to!!!


    Worst opening hour of a PPV maybe ever but now they're fucking ROLLING. 

    ReplyDelete
  124. I hated that match.  What a horrible wankfest.  I really hope this was the end of an era, and that we never have to suffer through another Taker Wrestlemania match again.

    ReplyDelete
  125. I'm guessing it's the last Wrestlemania for each of them,

    ReplyDelete
  126. Wow. Perfect. Fantastic match.
    I don't think we'll see any of them wrestle again.

    ReplyDelete
  127. And now we're getting MSG Curtain Call 2.  Please let this be the end of it...

    ReplyDelete
  128. ^ The reason everyone hates "hipsters"

    ReplyDelete
  129. Beautiful ending to a beautiful match. We're truly looking at the last of their kind.

    ReplyDelete
  130. After the Super Kick and Pedigree, I thought it was over for sure. 

    ReplyDelete
  131. The superkick/pedigree combo had me believing that the streak was really going to end.  What a great nearfall.  

    ReplyDelete
  132. Very Shakespeare-esque ending with the three guys past their prime enjoying one final Wrestlemania together.

    I enjoyed it.

    ReplyDelete
  133. Yeah, I absolutely would've bought that as the finish. 

    ReplyDelete
  134. Why does Dillion look younger than Flair?

    ReplyDelete
  135. It's interesting to think about now, what other opponent could make a Streak match nearly that epic?

    Maybe that was the end. If so, I can't think of any better way to go out. 

    ReplyDelete
  136.  Dillon hasn't been falling on his back for two hundred and seventeen years.

    ReplyDelete
  137. Wow, great to see Barry Windham out there. Didn't he have a stroke relatively recently?

    ReplyDelete
  138. Storyline wise it was outstanding, exactly the kind of thing sports entertainment is all about. JR was amazing on commentary. A palpable image of three giants walking away from the performance of a lifetime.

    Wrestling wise? Taker was right. Shawn's better.

    ReplyDelete
  139. Glad they gave Edge the star treatment there. Poor guy looks like he's struggling to not cry.

    Meanwhile sign up Yoko's son, kid has the look.

    ReplyDelete
  140. The *real* streak continues!  Howard Finkel 28-0.

    ReplyDelete
  141. I think the point of the cell was to prevent Taker from trying a plancha or something else crazy since he has a habit of almost killing himself going over the top.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Triple H vs. Undertaker: This wasn't a battle. It was a war. *This* defines sports-entertainment. There's a difference between being overbooked and heavily booked. This was heavily booked. A lot of stuff happened, but it never took away from the match's momentum and all fitted the context of the story. And speaking of the story, how many times did you believe the match's story was heading in one direction and then completely shift in another direction? That's called having the fans on the edge of their seats and in the palm your hands. Plus, there was other great stuff in here as well. The selling, intensity, great acting of desperation and peril at the same time, and ability to convince us nobody was in control and it was anyone's match, and the incredibility close, perfectly timed near-falls and dramatic false-finishes by both men. The finish might've been cliched and not a spin-off like everything else, but it made perfect sense to sell the point Undertaker can't be beaten at Wrestlemania. This match sold me that the Undertaker is truly immortal.

    ReplyDelete
  143. The purpose of the Cell was to allow them to throw chairs, stairs, and sledgehammers with impunity.

    ReplyDelete
  144. I know you guys hate these long "cool down" periods but for someone with a living room full of children they're a god send. I have to feed these fuckers after they just completely blew themselves out on that last match. 

    ReplyDelete
  145. Haha, no worries, man, after that hour I don't blame you.

    ReplyDelete
  146. Finkel's the last of his kind, a ring announcer who isn't doing everything he can to copy Buffer without getting sued.

    If I'm not mistaken (and I probably am) Fink even said "Let's get ready to rumble!" back in the days of the first few RR's.

    ReplyDelete
  147. That's what I was hoping for though! It doesn't feel like a UT@Mania match without his patented lolparalysis plancha.

    ReplyDelete
  148. No one. Whilst the clue was big and obvious ('End of an Era') - I think they're all finished wrestling.

    ReplyDelete
  149. Johnny must've borrowed that suit from Bruce Pritchard

    ReplyDelete
  150. Did Miami just BOO Ryder? 

    ReplyDelete
  151. I felt sorry for Edge. Age-wise, he should still be out there - but instead, he's stuck surrounded by old (and in the case of Flair, pathetic) men.

    ReplyDelete
  152. Fucking Shawn, we know he's the GOAT and all but he has to be the Greatest Guest Ref of All Time too?

    His part in that story was fantastic.

    ReplyDelete
  153. One other thought. Unlikely perhaps, but maybe that was JR's last match as well?

    ReplyDelete
  154. Not if Austin comes back for a match. Guaran-goddamn-teed Steve requests JR call his comeback.

    ReplyDelete
  155. Man I hate matches where the wrestlers have to wear t-shirts.

    ReplyDelete
  156. Sun Life Stadium just broke the record for most beer sales in a five minute period...

    ReplyDelete
  157. I don't know, in a way it's got to be nice to look to his left and right and KNOW that he will never end up like some of these guys. 

    ReplyDelete
  158. Ooooh you raise a great point actually. They got to look TOTALLY frustrated without fear of hurting someone in the front ten rows.

    Great point. 

    ReplyDelete
  159. Random thought/prediction that will not happen: If there is a nWo-type event tonight, the 3rd man will be Punk.

    He mentioned Brock and Batista during the summer, and something like this is just begging for the "old man and the snake" story.

    I don't think that there will be anything like that happening, but I just wanted to get it out there.

    ReplyDelete
  160. In hindsight, this Team Teddy v Team Johnny thing would have been a perfect place to do a fun spotfest match. 

    ReplyDelete
  161. That's exactly what I kept saying to people that thought this would be better than a MITB. At least MITB we got two or three crazy spots. This is just filler because we ALL know that Johnny is winning this thing. Or maybe he's not. Who give a shit either way really? 

    ReplyDelete
  162. Everyone celebrate your payday!!!

    Ok, on to a match people give a fuck about, thank you. 

    ReplyDelete
  163. Oh Ziggler, you fucking king among sellers.

    ReplyDelete
  164. As a chick I must admit Evil Eve is pretty fucking hot

    ReplyDelete
  165. The Zack Ryder/Eve angle is one instance where I really wish they'd allow man-on-woman matches.  That woman deserves an ass whooping of the highest order.

    ReplyDelete
  166. Another example of the 'E being behind the times, nothings been "EXTREME" since the very early 00's.

    They should be trying to sign the small letter i.

  167. Eve and Miz need to become a thing.  It would at least give Ryder someone to direct his anger towards since he can't hit Eve.

  168. If nothing else, sign the Dudz to a one-PPV deal and let this dumb character get powerbombed through 50 tables.

  169. That's really the problem, you have a Woman/Man feud where the Man NEVER EVER goes over.

    Poor Ryder. He did everything he could.

  170. SECOND Johnny promo longer than the World Heavyweight Title Match, in case you're counting at home.

  171. Yeah, he REALLY sold the drama.

  172. My oldest son, who is six, just said "That means Punk is winning right?"

    I said..."Yes. Of course."

    He's really getting the hang of being tortured by the McMahon family.

  173. You got that right.

  174. I can see that. Not my cup of tea, but the evil edge usually helps the Divas.

  175. Orton loses and Punk gets a huge pyro/blimp entrance.

    Thank you Christ it appears they might actually be listening.

  176. I like the way Punk does acts like he's putting dirt on his hands like Maximus did in Gladiator.

  177.  Except for the BURIALS of Bryan and Ryder, sure.

  178. Well sure but neither of those guys brought me (and my kids by extension) back to wrestling last year, Punk did.

  179. Jericho's brilliant. I love that Jericho's trying to get into Punk's head knowing he's gonna take and ass kicking, but also knowing he'll win the title.

  180. None of the kids understand this but "The Temptation of Punk" is tremendous character stuff.

  181. Craig Sager is home watching and wondering where he can get a jacket like Jericho.

  182. Someone said it before but WOW has Cole  been bearable during this show (with the exception of the Team match which was fine anyway since that match was purely for payday/storyline purposes anyway)

    Cole never gets any credit but he almost sounds like a real PBP guy here.

  183. Wow they are out there stiffing the FUCK out of each other.

  184. Ok, now its picking up steam.

  185. If I could, I would press the Like button until both my hands broke off at the wrist.
