I love your Smark Rants.  Been reading since 2000....

Wait, where's Jack Swagger's America on there?

  1. But according to the map, chihuahuas quiero Cena.

  2. Related: Cena used the "we were 1st post-9/11!!!" stance on WWE not cancelling last night.

    "There was never a second thought about postponing or canceling the show. I was asked this question earlier. WWE truly takes the initiative - we were the first company to broadcast a live sporting event after 9/11. Although it was a tough thing to come to grips with, we thought it would be best because WWE's goal is to put smiles on people's faces, to really give people who desperately needed a chance to escape that opportunity to escape. So, there was never any question that WWE would not go live last night just to offer people what we offer them every week - a chance to escape and maybe put a smile on their face in time of need."

  3. lol, so dumb. I was watching the terrible Heat-Cavaliers game and that started at 7 p.m. EST. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it WWE.

    ReplyDelete
  4. "WWE's goal is to put smiles on people's faces"


    Seriously, is that their new catchphrase or something? I swear they say that in a press release or press conference every other week.

  5. great, now I want a heel Cena doing Brock's racist evil schtict, going by Juan Cenor

    ReplyDelete
  6. Well, hopefully my area can "secede" before much longer (south of N.O.)...

    ReplyDelete
  7. Based on the handwriting I'm guessing a member of the Cenation put this graphic together. Pretty good work though.

    ReplyDelete
  8. ... um, I don't think he was saying that they were first to air after yesterday's attack.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I'd say the capital would be somewhere in the UK, judging by the fact that all the "WE HATE CENA" t-shirt wearers seem to come from there.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Ok THIS might just do it with Fandango...

  11. You are correct sir. Completely missread his statement.

    ReplyDelete
  12. It's like an ESPN commercial just not nearly as clever.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I can at least attest that the Kentucky aspect of that map is correct. The fans have always loved Cena at the WWE events I attended live.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Definitely. Or like their Raw 1000 commercial which was pretty awesome. They even refer to it as a meme in the description. Don't do that.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I think the Cena Hate forces overran DC a couple of weeks ago, so that line needs to be pushed down towards Richmond.

    ReplyDelete
  16. On behalf of the State of North Carolina: secession now, secession forever. Our demented little siblings have never quite been right in the head.

    ReplyDelete
  17. North Carolina is Best Carolina.

    ReplyDelete
  18. 2 things.

    wheres parts unknown?

    and they just made it lame.

    ive never done it but with that... its lame.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I say that they're trying to quash it and make it the fans fault, to prove that they don't know what they want, and need WWE to forcefully tell them what they want.

    ReplyDelete
  20. THREADJACK: SCOTT, YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT STARTING A FORUM? NOT THIS PIECE OF CRAP ONE THAT YOU HAVE HERE BUT LIKE A REAL FORUM?


    IT BE COOL, BRO. I CAN MOD IT IF YOU WANT ME TO, BRO.

    ReplyDelete
  21. At least they have a mantra. What does TNA stand for on any given week?

    ReplyDelete
  22. I said this last night. It is like giving yourself a nickname in high school.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ha! Even West Newbury, MA is part of Cena Hate Country!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Being a wrestling company.

    ReplyDelete
  25. You mean calling myself the Human Screwdriver is what made me a loser in high school? Damn, if only we had second chances!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I honestly don't think there is any malice behind this video or any intent to kill it. I just think they really believe this is how they should capitalize on it.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Cena gets boo'd hard in Boston--Watch his confrontation with Punk from the summer of Punk in Boston---Cena gets killed

    ReplyDelete
  28. See Bryan, Daniel

    ReplyDelete
  29. Also, there's a food trailer court in Austin, TX that is decidedly NOT a part of the Cena-sympathizer group

    ReplyDelete
  30. What about Alaska and Hawaii? The freak states.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Your interpretation. Have they ever said that?

    ReplyDelete
  32. I live right outside of Greenville and you guys have bashed and bashed and bashed the last two days. I now ask you all politely to please stop. Thanks, guys and keep up the good work, passes the time just fine.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Well, the show is called Impact Wrestling and it's booked more like a wrestling company than WWE is. May not be your cup of tea but that's not debateable.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Or just be like Kobe and annoint yourself the "black mamba" and hiss on the court. Yeah, he does that.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Wha-? Really? bwahahahahahaha...this can't be for real.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yes it is real

    ReplyDelete
  37. lol, wow. Grow up.

    Unless of course you hate John Cena, in which case fuck you and your smile.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I live in the "Cena sympathizer" territory of Texas. I've been to several house shows over the past few years. I have found that No Cena = No Show. They even cancelled a show one time last year. That show was going to be headlined by Sheamus vs. The Big Show. Nice job there, making people care about other superstars.

    ReplyDelete
  40. You never walk alone in ATX, it appears.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Jack Swagger's America was right there inside your heart the whole time. It's that little voice that says 'grow a footlong moustache and repeat catchy mantras in front of the Gadsden Flag'.

    ReplyDelete
  42. That's hilarious.

    ReplyDelete
  43. A friend of mine tried to do that when he started going to firefighter school. He told us to start calling him, and I quote, "Bobby Flames".


    And we did, every single time we go out for drinks it just comes out of every one of us.

    ReplyDelete
  44. So very well put. That was just terrible.

    ReplyDelete
  45. That crowd has been bashed and bashed for good reason. It was shit. If that crowd was in Chicago I would have called them a shit crowd too. Sorry it offends you. I live in the Bay Area. California crowds are TERRIBLE. I don't get butthurt when people bash our crowds. The truth does not hurt.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Isn't their mantra "Where Wrestling Matters"? I seem to remember them pushing that quite a bit when they re-branded their TV show to Impact Wrestling. Though really, does a wrestling company need a mantra? Why not just put out your product without a bunch of annoying buzzwords?

    ReplyDelete
  47. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S-oXTKDw3w

    ReplyDelete
  48. Shouldn't you be focusing on the Hawks and the playoffs?

    ReplyDelete
  49. I desperately want this to be a troll attempt, for the sake of humanity.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Greenville, South Carolina sucks. Literally not one redeeming quality about the place. And I hear there is an Al-Qaeda terrorist camp based there.

    ReplyDelete
  51. This bit has legs, you should be from a different place every week.

    ReplyDelete
  52. There's a link to a forum up top. But I never go there.

    ReplyDelete
  53. YEA NO ONE DOES. YOU DUDES SERIOUSLY DON'T THINK A LEGIT FORUM WOULD BE KEWL?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Threadjack that might make for some interesting discussion. Remember when WWE encouraged people to express themselves?

    http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/news/280859/Live-Fan-Report-From-Last-Night%5C%5Cs-Raw.htm

    ReplyDelete
  55. OMG CAN YOU STOP BEING SUCH A 411 FANBOY?

    ReplyDelete
  56. IT'S YOUR BIBLE, I SWEAR

    ReplyDelete
  57. Wrestling matters Dude.

    ReplyDelete
  58. That is so painful. WWE really is the kid who tries too hard, and lets everyone borrow their stuff to get friends. Actually, I think Seinfeld used that analogy about the library once.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I was in the building that night and it was probably 60/40 in favor of Punk. Certainly not unanimous though.

    ReplyDelete
  60. A wrestling cmpany that doesn't even have the word Wrestling in its name?

    ReplyDelete
  61. I love the "We Hate Cena" people - they hate him so much that they buy t-shirts with his name on them, buy tickets to shows headlined by him, FLY HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD to go see him, and then claim that they "hate him".

    They don't hate him. Cena may not be their favorite wrestler, and he's definitely overpushed, but it's more like good-natured ribbing than true hate or disdain. They boo Cena, Cena trolls them, they boo more, he trolls more, and everyone has a good time.

    No, they don't hate him. The only people that truly hate him are the ones that stopped watching and attending the shows a long time ago.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Neither does WWE, considering they let all references to "World Wrestling Entertainment" slip and WWE is an orphan acronym. Going through all the big wrestling companies in America you have to get all the way down to Pro Wrestling Guerilla to find one with "wrestling" in the name.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Starting to feel better about my 962k too!

    ReplyDelete
  64. I wonder what "shocking" means? Is that under a mil? Or something really crazy like 500K?

    ReplyDelete
  65. That crowd was pretty smarky IMO. Chanting "boring" during the main event promo and chanting for Punk and whatnot.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I edited my message above with a little more info -- 500k domestic buys would be a huge drop from last years 730k domestic

    ReplyDelete
  67. I really hope it bombs. The only way you'll see change is if people stop spending money.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Something to be considered (or not depending if my knowledge of the info is incorrect), but wouldn't refunds given screw up the buyrate? WWE had Wrestlemania available on XBox Live and through smart phones this year, and from what I remember reading, the stream crapped out for a lot of people, so is it possible that all those refunds offered had something to do with it?

    ReplyDelete
  69. Yes, the name of the show is Impact Wrestling.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Greenville might suck to you, but for me it's aces. For one, it means I'm on my way to Atlanta and I'm almost out of South Carolina. Also, there's a Russel Stover Candy Store just past the Hellhole.

    ReplyDelete
  71. It depends what "shocking" means. If they were batshit insane and thought they were going to do 1.5M buys and were way off, they still might have drawn well, but disappointed their delusional numbers. And then there's WM19. That would be pretty damn shocking.

    ReplyDelete
  72. i figured they would count it, cuz they at least BOUGHT the ppv.


    Just cuz they gave them a refund doesnt take away that they bought the show.


    Thats my take on it.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Yup, that's certainly being speculated right now and will most certainly be a scapegoat if the show bombs. Hopefully we'll get that breakdown when the final numbers come out. We never did get it for shows like Halloween Havoc 1998, which was expected to do something like a 1.5% buyrate going into the show and mustered about a 0.8% instead. I don't think refunds were substantial enough in that case to make that kind of an impact on the number though, although we never got the final numbers.

    However, given the history of buys for non traditional PPV distribution methods though and their own expectations for this show, I don't think it's anticipated to impact the show more than 50k buys in either direction.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Yeah, I really hope all of those little details come out when they report the final number.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Im not a fan of 411 since they skewered the comments section of the WoTW, but seriously. its not a bad site for news.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I'd just be speculating, but it's Meltzer's description and not the WWE's, so I'd guess he's probably thinking of a number of less than a million buys and probably less than 800k overall.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Less than 800K would definitely be shocking.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Exactly. They have established themselves so well that when you say WWE you know exactly what you're getting. They ARE WWE.

    TNA is just an oxymoron.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I mean this as a serious question, do you think that TNA should change their fed name to a more wrestling friendly acronym? I've thought for a long time that they should pull the trigger and go for it. It's not like their weekly 0.9-1.1 TV rating will change because or it, those fans aren't going anywhere. They do need to branch out at some point and there's a legit case to be made that the name is hampering their ability to market themselves.

    ReplyDelete
  80. On one level I do too but I predicted 1.28 and I'd really like to be right lol. Plus odds they blame it on Punk?

    ReplyDelete
  81. I heard Cena is quite popular in Parts Unknown.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Where the heck is this? I live in Austin

    ReplyDelete
  83. What's The Rock's favorite thing about being in Greenville? It's that in about an hour The Rock is gonna LEAVE Greenville!

    ReplyDelete
  84. I'm from Texas, too. I've been to three WWE house shows and somehow Cena's never been on one of them. The last one I went to was the week before 'Mania 25. Before the show, Fink announced Cena wasn't going to be on the cared and told us that refunds were still available before the first bell. But oh, by the way, Shawn Michaels will be in the main event. Everybody promptly forgot to care about Cena's no show after that.

    ReplyDelete
  85. They've been saying that for years, mostly in relation to things like Tribute to the Troops.

    ReplyDelete
  86. See, that's the problem with "irony" (I know that's not the real definition, I'm going off the bastard, hipster version of the word) how much of the Cena hate is people legitimately tired of his schtick, and how much is just people singing along cause it's a fun thing to do?

    ReplyDelete
  87. They didn't misuse the Yes thing.


    It's not like he was going to main-event WrestleMania because he said Yes a lot. They sold a shit-ton of T-Shirts (the only ones I see in crowds are that one, Punk's and Cena's) and he keeps himself over with it.

    ReplyDelete
  88. It is to the BoD as RAW is to Superstars.

    ReplyDelete
  89. They should drop TNA altogether and brand everything as Impact Wrestling. They don't HAVE an acronym...

    ReplyDelete
  90. Now come on, it's absolutely not true that Greenville doesn't have one redeeming quality. They have an arena named after a crappy grocery store!

    ReplyDelete
  91. I can't be harsh on the Paintshop job, that writing still looks better than Vince Russo's.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Some Cenation special ops must have wiped out Ryback's twitter account. Shame, the big goof was kind of on a roll.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I call it Norf Cacky Lacky.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I always wanted them to bring in his evil French twin, Jean Cena.

    ReplyDelete
  95. I thought Jack Swagger's America was in Washington and Colorado. Shows what I know.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Don't forget the Nordic cousin, Jan Cena!

    ReplyDelete
  97. TNA isn't an acronym? Oh forget it...

    ReplyDelete
  98. Yeah, he got seriously punked by Cole.

    ReplyDelete
  99. They don't HAVE to have an acronym.

    Read what I mean, not what I write!
