A little earlier start on this than normal.
No basketball game until tomorrow. No hockey game until Wednesday. Seems like there's a small opening for RAW to up their ratings game a little bit.
Two weeks before the War Games DVD comes out. That will be the first wrestling DVD I've grabbed right off the shelf since "Rivalries". I'm pretty sure I'll jump on Best of MSG and the Mid-South DVDs as well but that might be it until they do a Rock-Austin "Rivalries". Speaking of Austin has anyone checked out his podcast? Is it any good.
All right BOD'ers, the rules are consistent. Enjoy the show, come out swinging but keep it clean.

Threadjack : Tebow to Patriots.
ReplyDeleteIs this actually happening, or am I having a terrible nightmare?
FUCK YES, this means he for sure isn't coming up to Canada
ReplyDeleteWAAAAAR GAMES. SURELY IT HAS EVERY MATCH IN TIS EXISTENCE NOOOO?
ReplyDeleteI heard he is one hell of a groundskeeper
ReplyDeleteCanada already said they don't want him.
ReplyDeleteReplacement for Gronkowski?
ReplyDeleteSo...over/under on how long is takes Triple H to squash Curtis Axel?
ReplyDeleteWell it will be going up against the Sony E3 Press Conference tonight though . . .
ReplyDeleteI don't get that all. Never mind the fact that the guy just can't throw, but why tthe hell would the Patriots sign him? The sure don't need help at the QB position, and why would you want the whole media circus that he brings? I mean, if you were a 7-9 team last year and thought that he could be that last bit you need to put you in playoff contention, but the Pats are pretty much a lock for at least 11 wins and the AFC East title, and probably a first round bye. I just do see the benefits here.
ReplyDeleteThey just want to capitalize on his merch sales even if they never use him?
ReplyDeleteAs a Patriots fan, that's my one hope for this, that they hope to eventually make a TE out of him. Because he *could* be a great TE.
ReplyDeleteThat or that Belichick is just trying to see what Tebow remembers out of the Jet's playbook.
TGGI
ReplyDeleteI didn't even think of that, though isn't merch money part of revenue sharing?
ReplyDeleteUntil America sells New England to Canada to pay its bills.
ReplyDeleteNo idea, but he does sell a ton of merch.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised Vince never made him an offer. Or maybe he did, who knows...
ReplyDeleteTeeeeeebow! I might have to root for the pats as my AFC team now.
ReplyDeleteTypical internet critic: I hate tebow because I heard it on TV
Best coach since bill Walsh: I like tebow and I'll use him to fuck the jets
How can a man who has never played tight end and has never wanted to play tight end, ever get to the point where he *could* be a great tight end?
ReplyDeleteNo guarantee that he'll be a QB. I think if he's willing to give being a halfback in certain packages, it's a minimal risk.
ReplyDeletePats could care less about a media circus. They probably just want a high character, clutch dude, and watch them make him into a hall of fame full back or something
ReplyDeleteFullback
ReplyDeleteWhat time is that at btw?
ReplyDeleteIf could have had any qb off the jets roster it would be tebow
ReplyDeleteI'm not sold he will make the team come August, but if he does, guessing they might try to use him at some tight end with Gronk's myriad of injuries.
ReplyDeleteAs far as media circus, I am sure Belichick will keep him pretty closed off.
It's the Patriots.....there will be no media circus.
ReplyDeleteThis move still makes no sense though, unless they brought him to be a backup TE, which then is opening up another can of worms with Gronk.
9PM
ReplyDeleteOr that.
ReplyDeleteAntonio Gates became a pretty awesome tight end and didn't even play football in college.
ReplyDeleteOf course I'd even take the raw athleticism of the catalyst chad Bryant at qb over the sanchize
ReplyDeleteShould be fun. I'm highly interested and crossing my fingers the PS4 price isn't as bad as the Xbox One.
ReplyDeleteThat isn't even close to a good comparison. Aside from the fact that Gates is a better athlete than Tebow, Tebow doesn't want to play tight end. That fact hasn't changed.
ReplyDeleteYou talked to Tebow recently?
ReplyDeleteContinuing this Sports tangent, does anyone think the Heat can take 2 in San Antonio?
ReplyDeleteIf he doesn't do *whatever* Belichick has in mind, he won't be around long.
ReplyDeleteYes, Heat in 6.
ReplyDeleteLol OK now were gonna act like tebow isn't a great athlete. Gotcha...
ReplyDeleteSo did the NFL. Shit changes fast
ReplyDeleteDid I say that? I said Gates was a better athlete.
ReplyDeleteI'll throw the same question back at you.
ReplyDeleteBased on what? Tebow can't throw accurately but he's a physical freak. Have you ever seen him play?
ReplyDeleteI can easily deduce that he damn well knows he won't be playing quarterback for New England.
ReplyDeleteI have taken to listening to Austin's podcast regularly. It's a pretty good way to spend an hour at work.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy it as well, just have to fast forward through him talking about the supplements he takes to give him boners.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I live in Denver. I've seen him play.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, I've seen Gates play which is why I can make this statement.
Thanks for asking two stupid questions.
Eh, the Patriots released Kafka, so he could end up being the 3rd QB. He does know McDaniels' system from the Denver days. I doubt he ends up playing or anything, but he may get to stick at QB.
ReplyDeleteWell, no shit. But he won't be a tight end, either. He's going to be a gadget player for sure, but I don't foresee him making a full-time position switch.
ReplyDeleteThe jets were caught leaking a FAKE story about tebow refusing yo try other positions or play wildcat downs. Since the story was proven false I think it confirmsthe opopposite
ReplyDeleteLet Tebow bring back the Wishbone Offense!
ReplyDeleteOkay, he wanted to play in the wildcat, that much is certain because, you know, he wanted to beat out Sanchez for the starting job.
ReplyDeleteHe's not really built like a fullback, but if they're trying to move him to another position (I think he would work well as a safety, oddly enough) then I can understand it. But to me he has no value as a QB. I know you're a fan, but the fact is that his arm stinks and he's not very good at reading the defense before the snap.
ReplyDeleteKeep in mind, I have nothing against the man as a person (he seems like a really nice guy), but all the hype around someone who doesn't have the game to justify it just made me hate him as a player. The LeBron dick-riding is bad enough, but at least that's understandable, the guy is an amazing basketball player.
Why would I care where you live? I live in California and I've seen every tebow game. If you don't think he's a great athlete I don't know what to tell you. He's a physical freak who could succeed at te or fb
ReplyDeleteYes, because the TV is full of dudes who HATE Tebow.
ReplyDeleteAre you a CFL fan? I used to check it out when it was on the NFL Network, but I don't think it's on TV in the States anymore. There's some lawsuit going on right now between the 2 leagues right now, so no American sports network that I know of will cover it.
ReplyDeleteMiami probably goes down 3-2 and wins 6 and 7 at home. Also people saying bosh is washed up need to call out manu too. He's looking like a china league prospect
ReplyDeleteBecause I'm a Broncos fan, therefore I got to watch half a season of him playing quarterback really closely at the highest level. Sure it was only a half a season but it seems like his biggest fans like to base a lot off of a half a season.
ReplyDeleteYou're an overreactive guy, I get it. Just try one more time to hear me out, okay?
I never said Tebow wasn't a great athlete, because he must be if he can even sniff the NFL.
I watched him play at Florida, I watched him play here. I can see that he can play football to some degree, but I don't think he can play quarterback at an elite level. He could theoretically try any position on the field that he wanted to. It isn't an easy transition for a guy who has played quarterback his whole life. If he can, more power to him, but you know, if his "dyslexia" prevented him from mastering a playbook and making adjustments on the fly, I can't see him picking up a new position.
Not sure if your agreeing with me or not because yes, tebow gets killed on TV. Ever seen inside the NFL? Or trey wingo Merrill hodge/jaws show? Or seen any one of the major pregame shows? All tebowgets is hate, and then you get to parrot it back and act like you know about sports
ReplyDeleteI'll ignore the 364 days of Tebow coverage from last year then.
ReplyDeleteWhat's this "knowing about sports" thing? Does it involve taking a contrary opinion on everything and smashing your fingers hard against a keyboard?
ReplyDeleteRe: tebows athleticism
ReplyDeleteHe ran a 4.7 40 yard dash and has a 39" vertical leap. He could play tight end
See also, Sidney Crosby--he is NOT the next Gretzky, can we move on please
ReplyDeleteNot personally but I've got a buddy who's really into it, I just don't like Tebow and his media cirques, you guys can keep him
ReplyDeleteI can throw a football fifty yards and run kinda fast. Where's the nearest NFL tryouts?
ReplyDeleteCan he run block? Can he run precise routes? Can he create separation from linebackers, safeties, corners? Can he consistently catch a football? I remember a pass going through his hands last year and bouncing off of his helmet.
ReplyDeleteYou know they are putting him in on the goal line against the jets and when he scores that TD I'm marking out hard.
ReplyDeleteI just like tebow because he seems nice and he gets a bizaare amount of criticism despite achieving more than a guy like Kevin kolb or matt moore. Alex smith looked worse for 6 years. And despite being paid a fraction of what those guys make people just shit all over him (see hodge, Merrill). Plus I love how his praying annoys people and I'm an atheist. I just think it would be really funny to see him do well
I agree.
ReplyDeleteTebow has said he doesn't want to play TE. Well maybe he will have to now.
ReplyDeleteTebow gets killed for a reason. He's not very good.
ReplyDeleteBTW, i sent Scott a recap of yesterday's RoH. it's in (wrestling) god's hands now
ReplyDeleteBut maybe the patriots will let him be "born again"
ReplyDeleteCombine is every February. Hire an agent and try out!
ReplyDeleteAlso a 4.7 is really really fast and a 39" vertical is like 5'10" guy dunking
And the above is nonsense. ESPN slobs on his dick all year long.
ReplyDeleteI might as well try out for tight end, also. Sounds like all you need to do is run and jump.
ReplyDeleteI feel like he probably can't catch (no reason why) but could run guys over and learn routes. He could go old school te who mostly blocks or play fullback
ReplyDeleteC'mon, the ASSKICKER is coming back to teach Curtis Axel a lesson and all you guys can talk about is anything else. I mean, literally anything could happen, like Triple H getting run over by a car on his way to the ring, or him having some bad Indian food, or maybe even Stephanie stopping the match because Triple H is pregnant with her baby! And all you guys want to do is talk about Tim Tebow and the NBA Finals
ReplyDeleteWell he also said Jesus is real so not everything he says works out...
ReplyDeleteHEY! I'M 5'10!
ReplyDeleteI think you're underestimating how difficult it is to play tight end. Run blocking ain't no joke, especially as a fullback. Running routes and finding seams in the middle of a defense is tougher than it looks. Hell, catching an NFL pass isn't easy.
ReplyDeleteThere are guys who played tight end and wide receiver their whole lives right now in the NFL still trying to get either blocking or catching or a combination of the two down to a science. To just act like he can make the change right away is silly.
Can you catch?
ReplyDeleteThe half hour show with trey wingo, Merrill hodge and jaws kills him. The showtime dudes (Phil Simms etc) kill him. Dilfer and young kill him. I don't really know who isn't ripping him
ReplyDeleteSkip Bayless.
ReplyDeleteOooo. I never watch first take but if skip is (fake) siding with tebow that almost makes me stop liking him, so I can see the hate there
ReplyDeleteYea, Skip Bayless is a huge Tebow supporter. That's his act.
ReplyDeleteThing is, we don't get Kevin Kalb (who is probably the best QB on the Bills roster right now), Matt Moore, and Alex Smith constantly shoved down our throats like we do Tebow. It's not his fault, but that's where the criticism comes from. And I think Alex Smith isn't a bad QB, he was just drafted by what was at the time a dysfunctional organization that fucked up his development every step of the way. For starters, he shouldn't have been the #1 pick in the draft. He's kind of like a wrestler who has talent, but the bookers never use him right, I guess...
ReplyDeleteI'm an atheist too (I guess you can call me a Buddhist, in the sense that I believe in the principles of the religion, but I don't really practice it) and I think Tebow getting hated on for his prying is bullshit. First off, it's not like he's the only deeply Christian NFL player, and second, are you that worried about the 5 seconds you lost seeing him pray? To me it's no different than a Nascar diver that just won opening his interview with "First off, I want to thank the Lord Jesus Christ". It's not like he's giving a whole sermon like Ray Lewis or anything. Now him, he's annoying.
Cool. What did you think of the show? It might have been because I was pretty torn up when I watched it, but I thought it was pretty fun. I don't see the logic in having Taven win his match though, the champ should NEVER win a proving ground match.
ReplyDeleteHe seems small for a TE. I'd use him as a slot guy, or as I said below, a safety if he's willing to jump on the other side of the ball.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes you think this match is happening tonight?
ReplyDeleteBoD would you rather see hhh do a program with d bry where he buries him as deep as possible and goes over in every match for five months, and then beats cena and ziggler in a triple threat match to become the unified champ and then defend that title vs Vince at wm30 (and then pinning the undertaker who tries to cash in the mitb) OR tebow become starting qb of your football team
ReplyDeleteRight. The crowd booed that loudly when Trips wasn't allowed to compete.
ReplyDeleteFunny...I don't remember the uproar being that loud last week.
ReplyDeleteMeh, my team's QB is Christian Ponder. I'd rather have Tebow.
ReplyDeleteHas Fandango's concussion been discussed? Zack Ryder sure didn't do himself any other favors by being in a match where one of Vince's pet projects gets injured.
ReplyDeleteIts building to HHH vs Vince for the WWE title again.
ReplyDeleteIf he becomes starter in New England next season I'm sure the fans will be pissed.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see they're building to that Vince/HHH rematch we all wanted.
ReplyDeleteHug of Doom II
ReplyDeleteDID YOU KNOW? Concussed Triple H has been wearing his ring gear for six straight days.
ReplyDeleteTrips said he was gonna be in the ring at 8:00, it's 8:03!
ReplyDeleteIts HHH. Good time to give my kid a bath
ReplyDeleteThunderous ovation must be a new synonym for tepid reaction.
ReplyDeleteLiked the show a lot on the whole. I'm afraid my recap is a little play by play heavy and analysis light, but that's the learning curve right? I just hope Scott posts it.
ReplyDeleteOnly money match left in wrestling... said by no one ever...except the two most powerful people in wrestling
ReplyDeleteWell, thunder does only last for about a second or two then goes quiet.
ReplyDeleteHere comes Ben Roethlisberger.. I mean Curtis Axel.
ReplyDeleteRob Bartlett >>>> Jerry Lawler
ReplyDeleteAxel needs to carry a towel and leap over the top rope.
ReplyDeleteOne out of two!
ReplyDeletewhat about the gum?
ReplyDeleteColor me shocked at Vince didn't interrupt before the match started.
ReplyDeleteGum swat!
ReplyDeleteNobody's perfect.
ReplyDeleteSell sell sell, Curtis if you know what's good for you!
ReplyDeleteWhat is with these HHH gloves?
ReplyDeleteYou just had to say it, didn't you?
ReplyDeleteRING THE BELL! RING THE FUCKING BELL!!
ReplyDeleteWHAT WILL STOP CURTIS AXEL?!
ReplyDeleteTriple Haitch just got screwed.
ReplyDeleteStill undefeated!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA. The (insert place) screwjob!
ReplyDeleteAxel wins again! WHAT A PUSH THIS GUY'S GETTING!!!
ReplyDeleteMy recaps are the same way, so that will at least smooth the trasnition. Can you send it to me? mcmerc@mail.com
ReplyDeleteOK I kinda liked that.
ReplyDeleteJohn Nord whipped his remote at the TV.
ReplyDeleteHUSS! HUSS!
yay he wins again
ReplyDeleteRemember, Vince McMahon didn't screw Triple H.
ReplyDeleteTriple H screwed Steph... er... I mean, Triple H screwed Triple H.
Paul screwed Paul.
ReplyDeleteBret Hart is going to text Triple H to tell him that his screwjob wasn't as good as Bret's.
ReplyDeleteCurtis Axel continues to win in the most unthinkable ways imaginable.
ReplyDeleteIt's clearly not in the top 1000.
ReplyDeletehe beat cena, he beat triple h 2x
ReplyDeleteAlright, this is going to get old quick.
ReplyDeleteBut they both have bell-ringing powers! SWERVE
ReplyDeleteOMG. WWE hierarchy confusion. This is a mess. Steph comes out in 3...2...1...
ReplyDeleteSo wait, Hunter's going to beat this poor kid like six times just to advance his own storyline with a non-wrestler?
ReplyDeleteYeah sure
ReplyDeleteThey're too evenly matched!
ReplyDeleteTake the damn pin, part-timer! Jericho took it!
ReplyDeleteMight as well, they're gonna go through with this feud......IN 2013!
ReplyDeleteWHO HAS FINAL SAY? LINDA?
ReplyDeleteAt least they have a hot crowd.
ReplyDeleteAxel is on something like a 146-and-0 streak right now.
ReplyDeleteWHO'S NEXT?
3-0 against HHH! This Axel kid is World Title material.
ReplyDeleteBill Goldberg's streak goes down TONIGHT!
ReplyDeleteMcMahon family drama or Hogan family drama.. take your pick.
ReplyDeleteIt's like they're trying to prove they can get a guy over by having him beat top guys without actually beating them.
ReplyDeleteThis has never been how shit works.
That would be awesome if this was the first twenty minutes of RAW.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this? 6-0?
ReplyDeleteNOOO!!!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA.
ReplyDeleteLOL, what's the story they're trying to tell here, that it's heelish to keep someone with a head injury from competing?
ReplyDeleteEven the fans are like, "Okay, that's a bridge too fucking far."
ReplyDeleteOnly the HTM
ReplyDeleteScott, is gonna have a field day with this.
ReplyDeleteCurtis Goldberg....Da Man!!
ReplyDeleteThe message is that Dolph should man up and work some matches (in Vince's mind).
ReplyDeleteVINCE IS TAKING THE BELL AND GOING HOME
ReplyDeleteWe all knew it would happen someday!
This is so goddamn stupid.
ReplyDeleteWWE Rulebook: A match cannot start unless a bell rings.
ReplyDeleteI wish HHH would take on the damn writers next...
ReplyDeleteThat...that was nonsense.
ReplyDeleteWhen Vince said he'd be at Raw on Monday with bells on, he wasn't kidding!
ReplyDeleteHey, at least we had an opening segment that didn't have a 20 minute interview.
ReplyDeleteThere isn't even basketball or hockey to watch instead. Good God.
ReplyDeleteDammit, I was hoping for three hours of that interrupted only by Peter Griffin performing Surfing Bird.
ReplyDeleteYou'll still get your damn interview
ReplyDeleteat 10:00
Don't be so happy. We still have another 2 hours and 45 minutes.
ReplyDeleteSTOP calling the sports shows 'episodes', WWE!
ReplyDeleteThey're advertising all these matches, but there's no bell! I'm confused!
ReplyDeleteWhat does "face-to-face" even mean? "Keep it here, because they're going to TALK!"
ReplyDeleteThis Patriots fan is still trying to figure out the Tebow signing.
ReplyDeleteThankfully, I have the Blog of Doom phrase, "Let's let it play out and see where it goes" to carry me through.
It's going to be a debate. Sort of like the sequel to Lincoln and Douglas.
ReplyDeleteThe whole "not allowing fans to see a guy wrestle" only works if it's a guy people actually want to see wrestle. Nobody MINDS getting to see Triple H wrestle, but it's not like Vince came out in the middle of a Daniel Bryan match and took away the bell.
ReplyDeleteAbe Lincoln had a debate with Shane Douglas?!
ReplyDeletewhat's going on? i dont have the app :-(
ReplyDeleteAh well, if Hunter can't wrestle in WWE anymore, there's only one other place for him to go...
ReplyDeletehttp://memegeneokerlund.com/media/created/k711bq.jpg
Alright, the less jaded fan in me thinks that angle was actually pretty damn awesome. It was original and Vince carrying the bell away like a disgruntled baseball manager was funny.
ReplyDeleteThat was stupid but I gotta admit a Vince vs HHH program for control of the company has me intrigued.
ReplyDeleteHHH and Vince have no clue that no one wants to see this. The future and the present of the WWE, ladies and gentleman.
ReplyDeleteIf it leads to Vince losing and becoming commentator again I'm all for it.
ReplyDeleteOh, don't get wrong. I thought it was definitely funny. Axel's reactions were great. Probably the first bit of personality he's shown.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I liked it. It was entertaining. I laughed at Triple H trying to make it an ironman match.
ReplyDeleteThat would be fucking awesome.
ReplyDeletehttp://memegeneokerlund.com/media/created/sczkmh.jpg
ReplyDeleteWUH WOH, TROUBLE IN PARADISE
ReplyDeleteTHIS is what I want now. "Ohhh what a maneuver."
ReplyDeleteBrace yourselves, folks. We have a 9-month buildup before Wrestlemania.
ReplyDeleteThe last thing I'd want is Vince McMahon squirting my kids with any kind of hose.
ReplyDeleteSteph didn't care when Triple H whooped her dad at Armageddon in 1999.
ReplyDeleteVince was squirting their kids with his hose? Does someone have the number for child services?
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S what this show's been missing. More of Stephanie's "acting"
ReplyDeleteOh man hhh vs Vince...fuck yeah
ReplyDeleteJesus, Steph auditioning for a role in a WWE Film?
ReplyDeleteStephanie McMahon is auditioning for the role of Honey Bunny in the Stamford Dinner Theatre rendition of Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction."
ReplyDeleteA visual of that is funny, but I can't think of a "Vinceism" that goes with it.
ReplyDeleteGiven WWE's desperation for mainstream visibility, it wouldn't surprise me if she accepted her Razzie in person.
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess this is the summer angle.
ReplyDeleteThat was some bad acting, even by WWE standards
ReplyDeleteMcMahons haven't figured out that their angles have been tiresome for a decade already.
ReplyDeletePeople will be bitching when HHH goes over Vince next....
ReplyDeleteI sent it...I'm almost afraid to hear your thoughts...
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be watching the HHH Show, so that one.
ReplyDeleteTebow as the Saints starting QB... no, he'd have to be assassinated. Along with whoever causes Brees to lose the starting spot.
