Monday Night Open Mic

To all my American BoD'ers, Happy Memorial Day

To the rest of the world BoD'er community, Happy Monday!

I'm doing this early since the house clean is finish and the family can go out on the boat with friends, eat some good food and watch the fireworks.

There's an NBA playoff game tonight and I think Blackhawks-Red Wings game as well. Or there's wrestling if you're into that sort of thing.

Regardless of what you do, make your Monday a good one. Come out swinging but make sure to keep it clean.

    I know I'll be preaching to the choir posting this link on here, but it's an article I wrote on my blog on how the PG era of WWE is not part of its problems these days.


    When my first novel came out in February, I started this blog and have been trying to think of ways to keep posting. I think I might make a weekly, wrestling-related post on Mondays such as this. Think I might write articles about WWE's actual problems, like their 50/50 booking and the lack of a solid tag or intercontinental division. Very likely, I'll write sometime about my brief time in wrestling school, as well.

  2. Cameo by the All American Lex Luger or GTFO.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Hacksaw Jim Duggan at least? The Patriot? Sarge?

    ReplyDelete
  4. Happy Tuesday to some. Ignorant Americans.... /Cesaro.

    ReplyDelete
  5. We celebrate FREEDOM 24/7 365 in Murica.

    ReplyDelete
  6. This Raw should be the "Great American Bash" complete with a special TV main event and lots of promoting. Instead its just a show

    ReplyDelete
  7. Cesaro calling out an All-American tonight perhaps?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Then jobbing quickly. Yes.

    ReplyDelete
  9. This is MERICA! We celebrate MERICA! whenever we can, mister!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Hoooooooooo! "USA, USA!"

    #toughguy

    ReplyDelete
  11. This is 'MERICA! We celebrate 'MERICA! whenever we can, mister!



    ...


    'MERICA!

    ReplyDelete
  12. That would be different and interesting.... Two things wwe is not.

    ReplyDelete
  13. WWE's inner continuity is so out of whack. Jack Swagger's retarded neo-con character would naturally have an issue with someone like Cesaro....but he's supposed to be a heel too so Swagger exists in a vacuum where ADR is supposed to be a babyface. Sigh

    ReplyDelete
  14. I wonder what Swagger (and Colter) will think of the Canadian/Serbian (Mexican) Sami Zayn?

    ReplyDelete
  15. You forgot entertaining.


    But that's okay. So did WWE.

    ReplyDelete
  16. John Cena, Ted Dibiase Jr, & The Miz tagging as "The Marines" tonight against Cesaro, Barrett, & Khali just to piss me off. "King, they're basically war heroes! WWEWarHero is trending on Twitter!"

    ReplyDelete
  17. They could do it for Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, July 4 just for fun. Do it in the style of a tribute show, with clean finishes and wrestler interview vignettes, like a more upbeat "Raw is Owen" type show

    ReplyDelete
  18. Im being a good American and watching Great American Bash 97

    ReplyDelete
  19. How about revisiting Big Show's Hulkster impression tonight?

    ReplyDelete
  20. That was me. I tried deleting the comment but apparently Disqus ain't having none of that.

    ReplyDelete
  21. SummerSlam 93. Call me crazy, but the Lex Express angle I think is underrated. In fact, WWE as a whole from like KOTR 93 to Survivor Series 93 is underrated.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I miss all american Lex Luger

    ReplyDelete
  23. That's because deleting comments is for commie bastards.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Remember: tonight is BRET HART APPRECIATION NIGHT.


    Surprisingly, it isn't being broadcast LIVE from his hotel room.

    "Later that day I picked up the phone to hear Vince on the other end. He told me Raw would be live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, my hometown, on Memorial Day, and he was thinking of holding a Bret Hart appreciation night. "About time," I mumbled, the result of the stroke I suffered in 2002. At first, I wasn't comfortable with the timing. What did Memorial Day have to do with me? But the more I thought about it, the more I realized it had everything to do with me. The wrestling business is a lot like a war, and I was the bravest soldier it's ever seen. Much like the brave men and women who gave their lives for their country, I dedicated my life to being the greatest wrestler of all time. I could think of no better way to honor those heroic soldiers than allow myself, Canada's greatest hero, to be honored on the same day."

    ReplyDelete
  26. They are in Canada, so if that happened Luger would get the same reaction Jim Duggan got at WrestleMania VI.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Flashback to Rodney Dangerfield's epic retort to Sam Kinnison in Back to School.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Someone must have been a big Ludvig Borga fan! But hey for a 6 month run 20 years ago to be memorable he must have done something right!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Scream09_HartKillerMay 27, 2013 at 5:32 PM

    They considered that but with all the women he's going to have sex with tonight there wasn't enough room. The plan is for everyone to come to the ring after the show, one by one confide in him that he's the greatest of all time, present him with the WWF Championship, and watch Bret/Bulldog from Summerslam 1992 on the Titan Tron.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Eh, only *** for this one.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Didnt Smackdown do that a few years ago?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Scream09_HartKillerMay 27, 2013 at 5:32 PM

    I know, I was trying to not make a mockery of Memorial Day while making a mockery of Bret at the same time.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Does that mean today is a Sunny day for Bret?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Indeed, WWE is not going far enough. They need to step it down to G level at least. Saturday Morning Slam for everyone!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Well, I'm still laughing about that "Vince said I only ONE of the greatest of all time. This was turning into a slander piece" line from the other day.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Scream09_HartKillerMay 27, 2013 at 5:35 PM

    Maybe Bret will give a first hand account of Bret Hart appreciation night after the show tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  37. "I'LL BE YOUR HEEEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOO!"


    They really should've called an audible in that SummerSlam '93 match. If Luger won the belt there the roof would've blown off of the arena and would've made for an all-time great moment.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Yeah the "Slander piece" one is probably the best one he has ever done. That is his Summerslam 1992 and I can admit this, with tears in my eyes, to Scream09: You have earned the nickname of HartKiller because that was the best joke at Bret's expense I have ever heard.

    ReplyDelete
  39. This Memorial Day, the WWE remembers its greatest hero?

    ReplyDelete
  40. Scream09_HartKillerMay 27, 2013 at 5:37 PM

    It's crazy to think there was a time when they not only took title changes seriously, but would save something special for Wrestlemania. Titles and Wrestlemania's being important? Amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Next time Raw lands on Halloween they should make it Halloween Havoc. What the hell, just reuse WCW PPV names for TV specials.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Vince didn't approve of those names thus they won't use them. Superbrawl,Fall Brawl,Halloween Havoc, Starrcade?

    Bah! Why bother when you can use gems like Payback! or Over The Limit!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Yeah? Well, here in Queens we tell you where you can shove your freedom as the cops stop and frisk people on the subway.



    DISCLAIMER: That was not meant to be as snotty as it sounds...

    ReplyDelete
  44. I haven't watched Raw in a long time. How is it? Any better since 2006?

    ReplyDelete
  45. He should have just used Fall Brawl or Halloween Havoc for the June Pay Per View. Makes as much sense as Payback!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Ludvig Borga "won" the IC title from Razor in a houseshow but it was "Rockered" out of existence? He was elected to Finnish Parliament? He lost to Randy Couture in the UFC Heavyweight Tournament Semi-Finals? He's Dead???


    Is this news to everyone but me?

    ReplyDelete
  47. "Bret Hart is the greatest wrestler of all time, brother. I remember when he teamed up with Rick Martel, dude. Then I heard he was in a cage match under a mask, teamed up with Ricky Steamboat against two blonde guys, neither of whom left as big of a mark on the business as the Hulkster, who rode into WCW that year and brought a hundred million fans with him, brother! They had a ticker tape parade that closed down Disney World, man!"

    ReplyDelete
  48. Yeah, someone posted footage of that IC title win on YouTube a while back. Blew my mind.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I might watch tonight's show, which would be the first time I've watched a show since June of last year. I'm not sure why I watch from time to time. Maybe I figure I'll turn it on and someone will start kicking ass, the crowd will be really into the matches, and things will make sense again.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I had to look up 2006 to refresh my memory and ...Trish Stratus & Lita both retired in 2006. Jesus Christ, where has time gone?

    ReplyDelete
  51. They'll replace everyone with Muppets and all scores are settled with things like pie-eating contests and tap-dancing.


    ...actually, I won't lie. I'd watch that.

    ReplyDelete
  52. And plus, you could have done Lex vs Bret and done the Hart Foundation gimmick 4 years earlier.

    ReplyDelete
  53. And yet, that will be more entertaining than whatever crap they put on tonight.


    I'll stick with my Arrested Development Season 4.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Wrestlemania is important, didn't you notice how often they point to the sign in the lead up to the PPV?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Is a tough balance to achieve.

    ReplyDelete
  56. A great American would watch Great American Bash 1989!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I never heard he won the IC title. Unless it was a dusty finish at a house show type thing, which hardly counts.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I generally am playing catchup to RAW and its made the show much more palatable. Don't know if I can survive all three hours

    ReplyDelete
  59. Crush had the most underrated heel turn ever. Seriously guys, WWF 1993 was kinda awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  60. So... when do we get "Iron Sheik Appreciation Night?"


    John Cena: "We love ya, Sheiky."


    Sheik: "FACK you, jabroni, I put you in camel clutch!"

    ReplyDelete
  61. While Crush had a cool color scheme as a heel, one that he should've brought back in 1996, he did little of note as a heel outside of that Savage feud.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Everyone keeps complaining about how not entertaining the WWE is lately, but I'm telling you, if you only watch it for about an hour in the morning, fast forwarding through all the stupid stuff, it's actually quite enjoyable!


    Me? I'm watching the Yanks and the Mets tonight. Hopefully that will be a less frustrating way to spend three hours.

    ReplyDelete
  63. DON'T SAY THAT. We had a Tatanka comeback in 2006 because Stephanie McMahon thought the same thing.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Let's honor those in the armed forces and then have John Cena come out and act like a real Marine!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Ah Keith David's voice! Cena Do Everything!

    ReplyDelete
  66. I liked that Tatanta comeback. Him coming back as part of that underrated Angle Invitational was great.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I'm just talking about the heel turn angle. It was great.

    ReplyDelete
  68. People who are over in Canada:

    1. Wrestlers that we want to cheer for
    2. Any wrestlers we remember from before 2000.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Even Kurrgan?


    (Okay, I say this admitting I would mark out if he returned.)

    ReplyDelete
  70. You know, if they had Cena get wasted by Bret Hart in five moves of doom and put in the Sharpshooter tonight it would generate the largest pop of the year.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Way to sell that injury John.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I've just given up caring about any of that. It's sort of like how the Undertaker would shrug off 15 minutes of leg work in his matches with Bret Hart.

    ReplyDelete
  73. In the WWE universe, staring in the Marine makes you a patriot on the level of the men who took Normandy. Seriously.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Nothing on tonight's show will be better than this.

    ReplyDelete
  75. My god I hate cena promos. He's so plastic.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Only five minutes into it and a "We Want Bret" works up.

    ReplyDelete
  77. They should pay homage to Bret by showing a two hour Raw from 1997 and the height of Bret's appeal.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Payback should be a PPV name...hey wait a minute!

    ReplyDelete
  79. Makes sense in theory, but think of all the censoring they'd do to one of those episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Hell, I would LOVE to see the Edmonton or Halifax RAWs.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I'm hoping we get a Bruno night here in Pittsburgh. It'll give me a reason to actually go to a WWE live event.

    ReplyDelete
  82. 3 stages of Hell is stupider than an ambulance match. Ryback doesn't have the wind for one fall, let alone three.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Did they just rebook the Ambulance match already? HaHaHa! These idiots can't make up their mind for a single week.

    ReplyDelete
  84. luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuulz. Lumberjack match in a 3 Stages of Hell match?

    ReplyDelete
  85. Ahh.. I was hoping they were bringing in the Doomsday Cage.

    ReplyDelete
  86. A Pillow Fight, A Tickle Your Opponent Until He Giggles Match, and an Arm Wrestling Contest!

    ReplyDelete
  87. A chant I'm familiar with is "no one cares."

    ReplyDelete
  88. What's Bully Ray doing in the War Zone?

    ReplyDelete
  89. Only if Z Gangsta is part of the deal.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Well, I doubt that anyone has bought the show already.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Tables, Lumberjacks, and an ambulance match. Austin/HHH this ain't.

    ReplyDelete
  92. The WWE: giving you three shitty matches for the price of one.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Yep, there will be no blood.

    ReplyDelete
  94. But you better pay for that care yourself, Ryback!

    ReplyDelete
  95. The Rock would've told Ryback to shove that ambulance up his ass.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Want Cena to get over with this crowd?


    Ryback spear.


    Steel plate.

    ReplyDelete
  97. And they somehow made it worse.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Thinking about changing over to the Bachelorette.

    ReplyDelete
  99. IF RYBACK WAS ANY GOOD OF A HEEL, HE WOULD MENTION THAT HE IS BETTER THAN BILL GOLDBERG

    ReplyDelete
  100. I really wish they would've been more honest and called it a 3 Stages of Heck match.

    ReplyDelete
  101. I'm gonna throw you in that ambulance, so that driver can take you to the hospital to properly treat your injuries. Also, they'll prescribe you with a course of physical therapy so that you'll be able to make a full recovery. I'll even stop in to see how you're doing when I'm granting wishes in the children's ward.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Important note from a Canadian - Calgary only barely qualifies as "Canada"

    ReplyDelete
  103. You're thinking of Toronto or Hongcouver.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Is that you, Justin Trudeau?

    ReplyDelete
  105. Yet, another sign that Aurora Rose may be doing some of the writing because mommy and daddy let her: "Ryback Rules" t-shirt and catchphrase. Just as clever as "I'm Awesome."

    ReplyDelete
  106. NOTHING SAYS HELL LIKE A LUMBERJACK MATCH

    ReplyDelete
  107. "Mr. Perfect" chant in 3...2...1...

    ReplyDelete
  108. Hey, let's have our two top stars bury this kid two weeks in a row. THAT'LL GET HIM OVER!

    ReplyDelete
  109. They need to give Axel better ring gear.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Wait, they already friggin changed his music?

    ReplyDelete
  111. Did they remix Axel's music? And make it worse?

    ReplyDelete
  112. And of course they ruin the only cool thing about Axel, his music.

    ReplyDelete
  113. As an American, ill treads you Calgary for Pittsburgh.

    ReplyDelete
  114. On the plus side, we'd get Sidney Crosby back.


    On the negative side, we'd have to take Ben Roethlisburger.


    On behalf of my country, we'll have to pass.

    ReplyDelete
  115. They should give him an updated version of his dad's 1992 Survivor Series gear.

    http://www.mr-perfect.com/ppvs/images/survivor92_08.jpg

    ReplyDelete
  116. As another American, I'll trade both for $50.

    ReplyDelete
  117. I'm currently watching America's pasttime between the Purple Mountains of Colorado and the American Spacemen of Houston.
    I will soon turn traitor, however, by watching Chicago-Detroit.

    ReplyDelete
  118. Like his dad's. But no one has ever gotten over wearing singlets.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Why watch a knock off? Enjoy the real thing!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnlkt1JJktw

    ReplyDelete
  120. Those look like the background I'd pick for my school pictures.

    ReplyDelete
  121. They can't line up ten jobbers or JTTS for Axel to beat on Raw and Smackdown every week? Don't they remember how his dad got over in the first place?

    ReplyDelete
  122. Wearing singlets is what Mark Henry does.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Doo doo is good for me and doo doo is good for you!

    ReplyDelete
  124. Next week, they can air his training footage vs. The Rock from early 2012.

    ReplyDelete
  125. 3 Stages of Hell match? I know hell. Hell is a never-ending loop of John Cena promos that hit the same notes so many times it has become nails against a chalkboard: 1. Game show host mode while he summarizes what has gone on while making cheesy or potty jokes. 2. Yo, home slice, keepin' it real John Cena as he goes into hip hop mode. 3. Then, transitioning into emotional and angry JOHN CENA WHO LIKES TO YELL!


    That, my friends, is hell and its three stages.

    ReplyDelete
  126. By losing to Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior in his first two appearances? Because that's how I remember it.

    ReplyDelete
  127. He did beat Sin Cara on Smackdown last week.
