Monday Night Open Mic

Survivor Series seems so close...yet so far away.

I am quite the perv so I read Gawker's hilarious take on Hogan's naughty video and saw some of the footage....and well I think his bragging about 24" pythons is a little bit of an exaggeration, but for a 60-year-old man it's not bad. And the chick is much better looking than that drunken disaster he was divorcing at the time.

Anyhoo, enjoy the show and come out swinging but try to keep it cleaner than I just did :).

Comments

  1. So Gewirtz is out as head writer and Vince hanging around backstage like a pissed off Emperor Palpatine. This should be the first interesting Raw in months.

    ReplyDelete
  2. So you saw the Orange Goblin's orange goblin? Yikes.

    Wonder what kind of difference replacing Gewirtz will make.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Is this the major backstage fallout the y have behind the Observer paywall?

    ReplyDelete
  4. According to WrestlingObserver.com, Vince McMahon was not in a good mood this afternoon before Raw. The fallout was that after working for WWE for over a decade, Brian Gewirtz was removed as the head writer. Gewirtz will remain under contract as a consultant

    People backstage are said to be scared, and Vince told the producers today, "I want results or I want resignations."

    ReplyDelete
  5. This is huge news. Gerwitz has always recieved a lot of the flack for creative problems during shoot interviews and such. A new head writer might actually mean new ideas and storylines!

    ReplyDelete
  6. Do you often reply to your own posts?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Actually, I've never seen him do that before.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Its an easy way of separating the news from the opinion. Cute joke though.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Pretty crazy that Gewirtz got the boot. Doesn't matter - Vince is the problem and everyone knows it.

    Scott can dust off the "Shuffling The Chairs..." headline if he wanted to though for this news.

    ReplyDelete
  10. This is going to be a fun Raw. Luckily there's a shit MNF game.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Vince is a genius in terms of his firing/comeback timing.... This is the first Monday night game that has nothing going for it. In wrestling terms, it'll be a total squash. I don't think people will tune in just to watch Sanchez benched for Tebow.

    Sadly, I am in love with Revolution and ill be tuning out then.

    ReplyDelete
  12. The last quarter of the year is almost always the lowpoint of the WWE "season" so i'm interested in them trying some new things but i'm more afraid of something really panicky happening like Ryback going over CM Punk for the strap.

    ReplyDelete
  13. You know that Twitter thing the WWE loves? If Tebow comes into the game, it will explode & no one will be watching Raw.

    And if Tebow doesn't play, that means it's actually a close game & no one will be watching Raw.

    The bottom line? No one will be watching Raw.

    ReplyDelete
  14. We need a super-smart crowd tonight. The moment Vince hits the ring, the "Two point five" chant starts, and goes on all night.


    18 minutes, to the 3 hour panic button. This could be comedy....and my keyboard is ready for it all.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Cool, does this mean that we can reboot the last month and a half and forget the Punk heel turn?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Boring game for most of us, but in the ratings world, it is the New York Market. Jets fans will be tuned in, and Giants fans will be watching to cheer against their rivals.


    It will ding the ratings. They have 30 minutes to grab heads before kickoff.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Does Gewirtz being demoted mean Stephanie becomes the head writer? If so, we have zero to be celebrating.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Steph is already his boss. The chain of command on creative is something along the lines of:


    Vince
    Steph
    Gewirtz / Hayes
    Kapoor / Koskey
    Raw / SD / Other Writing Teams


    You also have HHH, Kevin Dunn, Pat Patterson, the agents, and a few others bouncing around who advise or sit-in on creative.

    ReplyDelete
  19. BORING. Lets get actual predictions.


    AJ is stripped and finished by 8:08. CM Punk has Cena in a pool of blood by 8:16.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I know she is higher in the chain of command but does this mean that she will take an even bigger role in the writing? I sure as hell hope not.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Well, I'd guess the Kapoor and the team will have to step up, but certainly Vince may put increased pressure on her as well. There's been stories in the past of him chewing her and Hunter out when he wasn't happy.

    ReplyDelete
  22. He missed a fucking week

    ReplyDelete
  23. Cool. A comedy routine. 2 drink minimum gang.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Chewing her out?! He didnt do that in the new Chyna flick. Probably saving it for the sequel.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I thought that John Cena had gotten an arm-sleeve tat for a second and had found his testicles in the 'douche' section of Wal-Mart. Then I remembered his surgery and promptly stopped giving a damn.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Wow, that was awesome. I love how he YELLED AND WAS ALL INTENSE

    ReplyDelete
  27. Ooh, Ryback is here to kill someone. Literally.

    ReplyDelete
  28. "The Big Hungry"? Please do not let that catch on.

    ReplyDelete
  29. "Be a MAN!"
    -said the guy in the pink cap

    ReplyDelete
  30. Bulls on Parade bitches!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Man, they run these endless recaps like no one watched last week.


    Oh wait.....

    ReplyDelete
  32. BULLS. ON. PARADE.

    ReplyDelete
  33. This makes sense.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I usually find Cena's comedy sorta funny. But he just bombed out there. Romance with AJ?

    ReplyDelete
  35. "Some people turn their noses up at [CM] Punk because sometimes he is simply... not a man." — Says the man who wears pink.

    ReplyDelete
  36. The crack about Punk being champ "And no one will watch" was a bit rough.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I kinda feel bad for Epico & Primo. They were the champs not too long ago, and now they're fodder for Ryback.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Seems to me that it'd make more sense to have Ryback squash someone of importance. They obviously are preparing to strap the proverbial rocket.

    ReplyDelete
  39. - Cena Promo
    - Ryback squash.


    And all their bullets are fired with 2:50 left to go.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Missed the opening promo by Cena; was it anything more than Cena attacking Punk for being better than him by way of Cena rambling on about some fictional alternate reality that Cena inhabits in his head where Punk is a cowardly loser who can't do anything right and who everyone hates???

    ReplyDelete
  41. Well, that should spell the end for Primo and Epico. Can't see them coming back from getting squashed 2-on-1.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Ugh. Have him do something already.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I will die laughing if Ryback comes out to beat Brodus.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Soooo...yeah, Monday Night Football starts in 10 minutes!

    ReplyDelete
  45. ALREADY? Right at kickoff too. Verrrrrry interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Its always a positive when the owner flubs the company name.

    ReplyDelete
  47. For those not actually watching, Vince is next.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Hey, remember when Vince got fired?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Funny part is, JR says "We have no idea what he is going to say", and I completely believe it.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Fuckadactyls?

    ReplyDelete
  51. Vince's dementia doesn't so why should the WWE Universe™?

    ReplyDelete
  52. Banana yellow = heel

    ReplyDelete
  53. ...you have everything except wrestling, Vince.


    You are right about Punk's shirt.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Did they really have to resort to piped-in boos?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Why is he being booed again?

    ReplyDelete
  56. Because Vince told the audio people to pipe those boos in..

    ReplyDelete
  57. He's obviously evil. His sideburns don't connect to his head hair.

    ReplyDelete
  58. You listen to the people, Vince??


    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaa...*cough*

    ReplyDelete
  59. Can't they just have Vince be evil and openly supporting Punk? Claim that his actions last summer made Vince realize that Punk was ruthless enough to be his choice for the face of the company?

    Jesus Christ, this is coming off as a huge jerk-off session with Punk representing the critics as far as Punk acting like a jerk so Vince can slap him down for daring to question Vince's bullshit logic?

    ReplyDelete
  60. I love the fact that they keep teasing this Punk-Austin interaction. I really hope it leads somewhere, and Austin has that "one more match" left in him.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I don't like CM Punk running down the Million Dollar Man like this.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Come on Vince. 10 on 1 inferno handicap match for the title.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Why would anyone want a rehash of Evil Vince? Didn't we get enough of that the first hundred times?

    ReplyDelete
  64. Heh, that was pretty cool.

    ReplyDelete
  65. ...oh Jesus. He's gonna fight Vince.

    ReplyDelete
  66. At least Punk laughed the challenge off. My eyes would've rolled to the back of my head and stayed there if he acted scared.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I'm about 1/2 hour behind... But how can we miss you, John, when you won't go away?

    I'm sure someone beat me to that one.

    ReplyDelete
  68. "Trust me, everything is gonna be fine".


    Yeah......I can see this coming from an ocean away.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Desperation, thy name is Vince.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I absolutely love how Paul Heyman, as much of a weasel as he is, tries to serve as the voice of reason for CM Punk. It paints him as the wise veteran of the wrestling industry, and also serves as a perfect way for Heyman to eventually turn on Punk for not listening to him.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Come on Vince.....go all the way. Title Match.....FINGERPOKE OF DOOM....everything.


    You can do this.

    ReplyDelete
  72. It just gives Vince a reason to stand in an arena with his shirt off.

    ReplyDelete
  73. They're sure teasing the hell out of Stone Cold vs. Punk, aren't they?

    ReplyDelete
  74. Does anyone here listen to Bubba the Love Sponge? Has he commented on this?

    ReplyDelete
  75. I love worked shoots that are supposed to be worked shoots.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Five bucks says McMahon gets more offensive moves on Punk than Lawler did.

    ReplyDelete
  77. All gnews is good gnews with Gary Gnu.

    ReplyDelete
  78. 5 bucks says Arnold doesn't even know who CM Punk is.

    ReplyDelete
  79. 10 bucks says he is nowhere near his twitter account.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Five bucks says Vince calls Punk "Phil" sometime during the show.

    ReplyDelete
  81. This time is different.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I'm surprised they haven't done some weird mash-up of Sin Cara and Rey's music.

    ReplyDelete
  83. In all fairness, McMahon is a former WWE Champion.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Cranky Vince is on fire tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Holy shit, yeah....just checked in. That is dedication to your craft there.

    ReplyDelete
  86. "Unprecedented wood" is the funniest thing I've ever read.

    ReplyDelete
  87. And a former ECW champ. He's done everything Punk's ever done, except being WHC, and nobody cares about that trinket anymore anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Might be a 2 time champ in 2 hours.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Apparently Michelle Beadle is the only one who doesnt see the titanic swerve coming. Poor girl.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Sin Cara and Rey are getting over..


    Vince: Let's BREAK 'em up..

    ReplyDelete
  91. I'm guessing that Vince/Punk is the setup for the return of Dude Love.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Oh, come ON! Why would they blow Sheamus/Barrett now? Does this company know the meaning of "build-up?"

    ReplyDelete
  93. Apparently Punk doesn't believe in the The Kobayashi Maru..

    ReplyDelete
  94. RIP Wade Barrett Rebuilding Project - July 2012 - October 2012

    ReplyDelete
  95. Instead of tag championship match next week, why not have them fight each other in singles matches? You can kill time (which they desperately need to do), put on 2 good matches, let the heels cheat to win, and build some sympathy for your faces for the title match at HitC. Is it really that hard?

    ReplyDelete
  96. If "build-up" is anything like foreplay, then why would you expect Vince to know anything about that?

    ReplyDelete
  97. they should have given punk an apple to chew on during that scene

    ReplyDelete
  98. Nice to see you Brian. Sorry about your demotion.

    ReplyDelete
  99. ..well to paraphrase that movie, watching RAW makes hours seem like days.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Now that the WWE has enough European guys, how about a one night tournament for the Euro title next time they do a RAW over there?


    Not bringing the title back..just a tournament like King of the Ring.

    ReplyDelete
  101. I want to like Sheamus...I really do. But until he stops constantly grinning like a Cheshire fucking cat, I can't get behind him.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Vince would use his finger. He would use his dick so he could brag about how Punk couldn't overcome him massive manhood.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Sheamus really working in that side headlock takedown... kind of like someone else that used to use that to stretch out matches....

    ReplyDelete
  104. Throw Finley and Regal in here, give them all 35 minutes to play with. Fun times.

    ReplyDelete
  105. People who saved money by switching to Geico are happy. How happy? As happy as we'll be when we don't have to see these stupid commercials anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  106. I actually love the one with Eddie Money. Cracks me up every time I see it.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Sheamus v. Barrett could have been a money match. Why are they blowing it now?

    ReplyDelete
  108. Sheamus and Big Show never went one on one? I'm gonna need a fact check on that one.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Oh those commercials are funny. The witch in the broom factory!

    ReplyDelete
  110. Two lengthy matches in two weeks for Sheamus? Testing him for a real main event run?

    ReplyDelete
  111. Dont know, but they are running it pretty legit. I could watch this for 20 minutes.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Who did Big Show beat to become the #1 contender? Randy Orton?

    ReplyDelete
  113. Did JR mean "Mr. Wrestling II" or "Mr. Wrestling, also"?

    ReplyDelete
  114. Here's Tensai, because..........................look over there!!!! **runs away**

    ReplyDelete
  115. How do you say "Corre" in Japanese?

    ReplyDelete
  116. That's the one that inspired me to make the comment.

    ReplyDelete
  117. That was Triple H-like.

    ReplyDelete
  118. When does the Geico backlash begin? Overexposure much?

    ReplyDelete
  119. Holy fuck, that had to hurt Sheamus. Damn, that was rough!

    ReplyDelete
  120. I love JBL. Hell, Ross in the booth is almost cluttering this up.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Dude looked out on his feet. Too many more bumps like that I hope he has Chavo's cell number for his dogs' sake.

    ReplyDelete
  122. Dead on the back of his head. Heck of a bump.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Dont know. Was too busy looking up "Jobber"

    ReplyDelete
  124. Larry King? Let me call everybody I know and tell them to watch!

    ReplyDelete
  125. Holy christ, King buy into the company or something? Now he gets a segment? Don Rickles busy?

    ReplyDelete
  126. How could Punk be afraid to face Cena since he's already done it multiple times? This is becoming the death panels lie of Raw.

    ReplyDelete
  127. So they want to make up for all the time Cena was gone by bombarding us with his segments?

    ReplyDelete
  128. Well, this show was actually pacing pretty well.

    ReplyDelete
  129. No worries, it'll either be the first of 6 months worth of matches, or they'll come back to it in two months and act like we have no idea what could happen if those two meet in the ring.

    ReplyDelete
  130. They just did two in a row to piss me off.

    Also, I think the stupid hipsters are part of the problem. They remind me too much of the "free credit score" hipsters.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Punk's little interaction with AJ was awesome. I'm starting to bite on this heel gimmick of his.

    ReplyDelete
  132. I think Punk needs to be beat ME to cement his legacy. He's never beaten me, let alone in HiaC.

    I mean, it's the same basic logic as having to beat Cena for the umpteenth time.

    It's amazing, even if Punk goes over Cena, they're still setting him up to fail.

    ReplyDelete
  133. I would not be surprised to hear he got a concussion. Not one bit.

    ReplyDelete
  134. I am glad that Cena made the observation about Cesar's nipples. They've been drive me crazy every time I see them and not in the Fine Young Cannibals kind of way.

    ReplyDelete
  135. I heard this guy Cesaro has big nipples.

    ReplyDelete
  136. Was there a Mr. Wrestling Also?


    Just kidding... who was the original Mr. Wrestling? I only remember ever hearing about Mr. Wrestling II.

    ReplyDelete
  137. Ha! Cesaro brings the old-school vignettes!

    ReplyDelete
  138. It just struck me that Cesaro really shouldn't booked as a heel. I mean, he's Swiss, he shouldn't be booked as anything! He should be just... there.

    ReplyDelete
  139. I wonder if they would have the nuts to have Punk beat Vince up so bad, that Steph runs out and........


    Naw. It's been done.

    ReplyDelete
  140. Booking a screw-job there was pretty smart. I think Sheamus v. Barrett is a money program, that match was hard-hitting and I'd still pay to see it go to a finish.

    ReplyDelete
  141. Fuck. Now I am looking at his nipples.

    ReplyDelete
  142. So he should be booked like this?

    http://t.qkme.me/35oqwt.jpg

    ReplyDelete
  143. Agreed. They both have the "Back alley street fight" backstory. It could be fun.

    ReplyDelete
  144. Ha! Big ovation for Tebow. Heel heat for Sanchez as he came back on the field.

    ReplyDelete
  145. I saw Gerwitz is out. He seemed to get a lot of heat but whenever you read a Foley/Edge/Jericho book Gerwitz seemed to be behind a lot of good ideas. Having a creative is pointless anyway when Vince wants what he wants and they're expected to write only to entertain him, which he believes entertains everyone. I have no faith in Vince himself being the one to write the show anymore. Who's left? Triple H? Heyman?

    ReplyDelete
  146. That slap was AWESOME! Slapped the "jaded" right out of me.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Finlay
    Regal
    Cesearo
    Sheamus
    McIntire
    Santino
    Barrett
    Vladimir Kozlov


    Am I missing anyone? Even if you had to bring some one in for one night, that would be a HELL of a tournament.

    ReplyDelete
  148. Meh, he still doesnt have "Matt Cassel" heat. That is off the charts.

    ReplyDelete
  149. Dont know. But the first thing they did was run in a nipple joke for the opening promo. Were still screwed.

    ReplyDelete
  150. Has anyone mentioned what happened the last time Punk got into the ring with a guy as old as Vince?

    ReplyDelete
  151. Total scapegoating. Who knows what kind of job he did, when everything gets run through McMahons by blood or marriage, who cares who the paper bookerman is?

    ReplyDelete
  152. Is Bryan a face or a heel? I can't tell anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  153. This must be that goat-faced vegan the owner of the company mentioned earlier.

    ReplyDelete
  154. How long until Young and O'Neil get matching headbands?

    ReplyDelete
  155. Still have a good hour, reckon that's a segment JR was sent to the back for.

    ReplyDelete
  156. Give some love to the Sacramento crowd. They are bringing it.

    ReplyDelete
  157. http://t.qkme.me/35oqwt.jpg

    Didn't think I'd get to use this twice.

    ReplyDelete
  158. Just tuned in, is the show the real? /sheik

    ReplyDelete
  159. Daniel Bryan is turning into a pygmy Hillbilly Jim.

    ReplyDelete
  160. Cranky Vince ‏@CrankyVince
    PCP IS A HELL OF A DRUG TO RELAPSE INTO WHEN YOU'RE CARRYING A 3 HOUR SHOW ON YOUR BACK. @USANETWORK#FUCKYOU


    OK.....thats funny.

    ReplyDelete
  161. I guess when they talk best amateur pedigrees don't include a certain Mr. Angle.

    ReplyDelete
  162. Hearing a twinge of racist JBL tonight. It will only make me like him more.

    ReplyDelete
  163. If you read Shawn Michaels book, you read the story of how Shawn was trying to come up with a finisher with the rest of the clique, and finally Scott Hall said, "Shawn, just use the kick, it's the best move you got."? Well, Scott needs to have a conversation with Del Rio.

    ReplyDelete
  164. You want to rethink that comment? I'll give you a mulligan if you like.

    ReplyDelete
  165. I would say he's a face since he's got a pink breast cancer thing on his wrist, but Big Show had a little pink ribbon on his WMD hat... so I'm not sure.

    ReplyDelete
  166. I think Roger Goodell is going to be on tonight to confront the New York Jets.

    ReplyDelete
  167. Rephrase: Old school "Anti-Mexico" JBL. That probably sounds better.

    ReplyDelete
  168. I thought Tim Woods was Mr. Wrestling II?

    ReplyDelete
  169. Nevermind, I looked it up. I'm an idiot.

    ReplyDelete
  170. Is Del Rio even doing anything right now? Was there a reason they had to job the guy with the briefcase again?

    ReplyDelete
  171. 2 replays away from breaking the HHH/Steph/Heyman segment replay record.

    ReplyDelete
  172. "I can't help but think of what happened to the King after he fought CM Punk."

    ..........................I'm not touching that one.

    ReplyDelete
  173. Now they're turning the heart attack into the angle.... it had to happen sometime.

    ReplyDelete
  174. I was WONDERING when they would start blaming Punk for Lawler's heart attack.

    ReplyDelete
  175. Ziggler jobs again?!?! Where's Jack Swagger?

    ReplyDelete
  176. Oh, Mark Sanchez! You're the gift that keeps on giving!

    ReplyDelete
  177. THREADJACK~

    TEEEEE-BOW! TEEEEE-BOW! TEEEEE-BOW! TEEEEE-BOW!

    ReplyDelete
  178. Yeah....I suppose that you could only ask for a gradual angle at least.

    ReplyDelete
  179. What's the Vegas line on Vince taking the title tonight?
