Howdy Blog O'Doomers!
Hope everyone had a nice, relaxing weekend. It rained like hell here which forced us to change the normal plans of joyriding on the boat and watching the fireworks. Instead we listened to the rain and played a game of "firework, lightning or gun shot." Either way my dogs are happy the day is over.
I caught the UFC fight. That was strange. Silva was overdoing it even by his standards and got caught and then sort of hinted that he wanted to retire but not really retire...My husband said either way he really didn't want to fight Saturday. Either Weidman's early take down stuff spooked him and he knew he was going to have to try something other than coming straight at him or he just doesn't want to do this and was being a super dick in hopes of pissing King Dana off. At the same time, Silva's strikes looked serious enough.
The post-match interview seemed odd too. Was he sick of holding the title? Was he sick of getting the run around on the super fights from White? Is he just going to go to 205 and try to win a couple of prelims to make the Jones fight happen? Either way I like Weidman a lot so I was happy but we didn't see the best of Anderson Silva on Saturday and that sort of annoyed me. Unless Silva really wants a rematch I don't understand force feeding one to the public because Silva will just pull the same shit again. He's a strange guy.
Didn't he just land a movie role too? Eh. Whatever. I'm nearing my end run with the UFC anyway. Thankfully I grabbed about 50 old card DVDs when they were $3 at Big Lots so I can watch those whenever I need to remember what it was like when it was fun.
As for tonight. Who knows? Hopefully we'll see more Bryan, more Punk and good matches. Enjoy the show, come out swinging and keep it clean!

From this day forward, WWE will pretend that the "What!" Chants are "Wyatt!" chants.
ReplyDeleteThose "what" chants could really ruin a Wyatt promo tonight. Hopefully they don't.
ReplyDeleteGoing to be another embarrassing night to be a Pro Wrestling fan.
ReplyDeleteOr they could make the Wyatt promo even more memorable. Great performers use the crowd reaction to their advantage.
ReplyDeleteNo, Pro Wrestling will always be a great Nintendo game.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should do something else?
ReplyDeleteCan´t get enough of Starman vs Fighter Hayabusa!
ReplyDeleteProbably won't be watching, just flipping it on in between innings of the Indians/Tigers game. Anything WWE nowadays is a battle to get through. Tonight seems like no different with the "Job Evaluation" which will be filled with immature fat jokes and the McMahon's making themselves look like Gods. Also most likely a tag match with the Money in the Bank RAW participants.
ReplyDeleteA winner is you.
ReplyDeleteHow dare you not gratefully eat VInce's shit with a spoon!
ReplyDeleteKing Slender or GTFO
ReplyDeleteThey should show that Rick Martel clip on the site today and announce that he'll be in the 2014 HOF.
ReplyDeleteI hope the Wyatt family debut kicks off the show so I don't have to waste 3 hours.
ReplyDeleteHave my fingers crossed that they play the Wyatt family thing right . . .
ReplyDeleteUndertaker: I'll tell ya what why don't you say what if you like to sleep with your own sister
ReplyDeleteHalf of the crowd: What!
So watching a skysport stream and before it starts they have a countdown timer with random WWE clips and one is about 3 seconds of JTG dancing . . . what a highlight that will never be seen on WWE
ReplyDeleteI got thrown out of this dump at a Nitro many years ago
ReplyDeleteRazor Ramon name drop!!
ReplyDeleteDare I ask what you did?
ReplyDeleteHA! I had an inkling she'd say "Triple H," even though he has about as much to do with a ladder as Bastion Booger.
ReplyDeleteIt depresses me that no one in the audience knows who Razor Ramon is... I feel old.
ReplyDeleteRock/HHH from SummerSlam '98 was really awesome though.
ReplyDeleteI threw one of the WCW balloons up in the air and it hit Curt Hennig. lol.
ReplyDeleteOpen Raw with Vickie Guerrero/Brad Maddox:
ReplyDelete6.1 quarter hour
Seriously. I get that Hardy and Bully are probably off limits, but she couldn't have said Edge and Christian instead?
ReplyDeleteVickie sure is good a memorizing lines.
ReplyDeleteNo it wasn't.
ReplyDeleteYes it was.
ReplyDeleteOr even just Shawn Michaels
ReplyDeleteI took it as her sucking up to Triple H.
ReplyDeleteNo.
ReplyDeleteHaha. That's awesome. I seriously just tried Youtubing it, all I found was playlists
ReplyDeleteYou know, that opening theme song sucks. Definitely doesn't scream "hey people are going to get this asses kicked!"
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking this segment could use more King.
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteNow, if we use the app, we too can become a part of the job evaluation!
ReplyDeleteDuck Season.
ReplyDeleteThis opening segment is death! Oh well only 174 minutes to go!!
ReplyDeleteEveryone should get it and flood it with "pro" votes. It's times like these when I wish someone had taught me computer hacking.
ReplyDeleteSo Vickie you better give us some good matches and we'll keep you :P
ReplyDeleteThey are building an entire show around Vickie fucking Guerrero.
ReplyDeleterabbit season
ReplyDeleteI don't think they want it to... I think they want it to scream, "Hey Mad Men's over for the year so come watch us to get your drama TV filled!"
ReplyDeleteBetter than Cena, Sheamus, Ryback....
ReplyDeleteThat's a lie. WWE hasn't cared about the fans in 15 years.
ReplyDeleteI don't even think Eddie got a show built around him.
ReplyDeleteNo.
ReplyDeleteSad story: HHH is tied for 3rd in most wins in Ladder matches in WWE History(not counting TLC and MitB)
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteKane against anyone just triggers a weariness complex in me.
ReplyDelete"Randy Ort'n!"
ReplyDeleteOkay, Punk-Orton and Bryan-Sheamus should be pretty sweet.
ReplyDeleteOoo another Sheamus / Daniel Bryan match and Bryan's going to go over this time! I like this as a good way to start the show.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that the company is more concerned with getting the booking of the matches over, rather than the matches themselves.
ReplyDeleteFudd season!
ReplyDeleteOutside of his tribute show, I think the only one MIGHT have been the Smackdown episode after he won the WWE Title
ReplyDeleteThey should just revert Kane back to what he did in '97. Have him go away and then periodically show up and destroy people, only to get beaten in the end to put over a new talent.
ReplyDeleteso if the fans couldn't vote on her performance, there wouldn't be any matches?
ReplyDeleteFIRE!
ReplyDeleteProbably true. Although I think one of the drafts had a Eddie-Triple H match.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.memegeneokerlund.com/media/created/nayrfd.jpg
ReplyDeleteIsn't that Brock's job right now? Well as long as you replace putting over new talent with Triple H
ReplyDeleteI miss you, Shelton...
ReplyDeleteThat segment just makes me want to see Shelton Benjamin
ReplyDeleteAnd there in lies the problem...
ReplyDeleteAnother wasted night watching this.
ReplyDeleteYet another guy TNA should have snatched up but were all like "Nah, that money is better spent on Ken Anderson and Devon"
ReplyDeleteasssphinctersayswhat?
ReplyDeleteIt's really surreal seeing 1997 and the WWF saying "bring your signs, we LOVE free speech!" and then having Vince cut promos at the end of the year thanking the fans for watching the show. They need to bring that stuff back.
ReplyDeleteMonday Night Raw is the opposite of a thriving social life and plentiful intercourse.
ReplyDeleteThey already have their version of Shelton in Kofi. I liked Shelton, but he sucked on the mic.
ReplyDeleteDoes it count if your girlfriend is out of town for the next week?
ReplyDeleteMe too. I'd hoped the Wyatt's would open the show, but their debut, Punk-Orton, and Bryan-Sheamus means they've sucked me in, the fucks.
ReplyDeleteI got the intercourse done 10 minutes before the show started.
ReplyDeleteSo did Ricky Steamboat, but they could have gotten similar mileage out of Shelton.
ReplyDeleteI bet that pre-show "match" got some great build.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have a mistress?
ReplyDeleteI guess the ridiculous beard isn't going anywhere, seeing as how Bryan has a new shirt based on it.
ReplyDeletewell,it's this or watching Tudors with my family.
ReplyDeleteGotta save it for a beard vs hair or something match down the line.
ReplyDeleteSadly. Although they could have a heel get a hell of a lot of heat if they shave Bryan. At least shave his head and have him look like he did in 04 or whatever year that was
ReplyDeleteIf this was an All star baseball team, Sheamus would be the guy fans voted in because he had a real swell season 3 seasons ago but the good memories are still fresh.
ReplyDeleteJob time Bryan. :(
ReplyDeleteTotally
ReplyDeleteNeed
Anderson
No way dude.
ReplyDeleteHe's gotta go over. Right? RIGHT?!
ReplyDeleteShelton was like three times the worker Kofi is though. If you take away the agile stunts, Shelton can still go. Kofi doesn't have much left.
ReplyDeleteThe Tudors is outstandingly trashy television. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat dodging and clothesline were pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteMan, if only I knew how to download an app...
ReplyDeleteYeah shave the beard and have him look like everyone else...another generic white wrestler.
ReplyDeleteSkinner?
ReplyDeleteI laughed at that one Tweet that said Punk-Orton was a dream come true for them.
ReplyDeleteI hope!
ReplyDeleteDid we really see a tweet saying Orton vs Punk is a dream come true? Did they not have a match at WM 26?
ReplyDeleteJerry Lawler will tell you how without knowing what the hell is coming out of his mouth
ReplyDeletethe problem is not the series itself,its my mother obsession with henry cavill.
ReplyDeleteIt's a double concussion finish!
ReplyDeleteSheamus is such a good worker when he's got someone decent to guide him.
ReplyDeleteBryan Danielson looks like quite the badass when shaven.
ReplyDeleteThese two had awesome chemistry last year, but they seem weirdly out of synch so far here. Is Sheamus dogging it because he's doing the job?
ReplyDeleteI find it difficult to believe that these morons on twitter actually exists but then again, we saw the horror of touts.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they'll do an RVD run in for a cop-out finish in one of these matches. Punk/Orton seems to be asking for it
ReplyDeleteSheamus is getting all his offense during the break :P Yes I'm watching the stupid app.
ReplyDeleteMaybe so Punk can accuse RVD of being a Heyman Guy, brought in by Paul to cost him MITB? Gives Punk a mini-feud before Brock.
ReplyDeleteHe just says "gaining momentum" to troll smarks at this point.
ReplyDeleteMan, Bryan's knees are going to be shot from all of the backflips and kip ups.
ReplyDeleteIt could make Christian / Kane more exciting than it will be.
ReplyDeleteNah, they're doing a good job of selling the idea of buying the PPV to see his return, no need to mess it up at the last minute.
ReplyDeleteSheamus is "fella-ing" up.
ReplyDeleteIf he doesn't break his brain from the suicide dives
ReplyDeleteWhy would he need a mini-feud when he's facing Brock at Summerslam? Besides CM Punk vs Rob Van Dam with Paul E in the middle is a pretty solid program even in 2013.
ReplyDeleteWWE has an App?
ReplyDeleteMan that zoom camera during Sheamus' 10-count was making me sick
ReplyDeleteIf you include him in the storyline it might get people more interested and that might get a few more buys. Right now if you're a casual fan, it just looks like he's showing up to do a few bumps, lose and never come back.
ReplyDeleteI don't think he does, but I don't think WWE is going to give Rob a 'main event' feud in 2013. But jobbing to Punk on Raw sounds about right.
ReplyDeleteThat crowd must be chanting Yes! for Sheamus!
ReplyDeleteMuch like most Shield matches.
ReplyDeleteHey! Vickie Laurence is trending. Neat.
ReplyDeleteI'd use him to put over Adrian Neville as the new high flying king if I was the WWE
ReplyDeleteIf Bryan ends up getting Brogue Kicked and kicks out, the fans will explode
ReplyDeleteHe's pointing to that Benoit in the sky
ReplyDeleteKudos to Charles Robinson for still being a WWE referee. I feel like they never last long anymore.
ReplyDelete"And that wasn't a true cash-in!"
ReplyDeleteShut up, JBL.
Little Naitch!
ReplyDeleteDublin Cloverleaf!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBryan and Sheamus have beautiful chemistry.
ReplyDeleteGreat match and awesome counter.
ReplyDeleteI'll be damned.
ReplyDeleteHoly.
ReplyDeleteExcellent TV match!
ReplyDeleteThis is funny.
ReplyDeleteMy RVD booking:
ReplyDeleteFeud with Jericho with RVD going over to reestablish him in the WWE
Have him challenge anyone . . . Adrian Neville comes out, feuds with RVD, goes over and is established as the new High Flying King of Wrestling.
Fuck, he's so over.
ReplyDeleteI was wrong,awesome!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry fella, you've already won 600 matches this year.
ReplyDeleteCharles better go in the Hall of Fame oneday
ReplyDeleteSheamus jobs less than Orton. Damn.
ReplyDeletegreat match, great end. Daniel Bryan has such an awesome ability to make Sheamus look like one of the greats.
ReplyDeleteBrogue Kick him afterward, c'mon, that's what faces do
ReplyDeleteSHEAMUS LOST A MATCH?!
ReplyDeleteYou mean stevie richards.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea who that is.
ReplyDeleteI'm....shocked.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, Sheamus didn't even try to get his heat back after the match!
ReplyDeleteGreat match...good thing about 3 hour RAW, they give the matches time.
ReplyDeleteI liked that; it was pretty cool. I think that's the first time Bryan actually managedto get a win over Sheamus.
ReplyDeletePAC
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck?
ReplyDeleteLook up PAC on youtube, he's pretty damn amazing.
ReplyDeletethe search for Cactus Jack continues...
ReplyDeleteSo, the WWE is doing their own version of Deliverance. Great.
ReplyDeleteGuess which role Vince plays.
ReplyDeleteGreat flyer,but suffers being a spot monkey sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThey need Leslie Neilson
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda worried about the Pat Patterson scene that would naturally call for.
ReplyDeleteI heard he's lost in Cleveland somewhere.
ReplyDeleteVignettes! Yes!
ReplyDeleteDamn, the Briscoes would be perfect for Wyatt's stable...
Does that mean Fandango's gonna be squealing like a pig soon? Or Miz?
ReplyDeleteHe does, but WWE could use a spot monkey or two to be established, and he can have a good match if he's with someone who knows how to build one. Can't imagine how good Bryan/Neville could be.
ReplyDeleteThese guys they're asking for directions were sitting next to me at the las t indy show i was at.
ReplyDeleteSean Mooney doesn't need no stinking directions.
ReplyDeleteperfect idea.
ReplyDeleteThey better actually debut, a pre-tape where they Heidenrape a documentary guy... is not a debut
ReplyDeleteVince probably just saw it last week.
ReplyDeleteTonight on Monday Night Raw we go undercover at a sex farm for sex hookers!
ReplyDeleteReporter - Where do you keep the hookers?
Bray Wyatt - Round Back, whoops!

ReplyDeleteWORKING ON A SEX FARM
ReplyDeletePLOWING THROUGH YOUR BEAN FIELDS
-David St Hubbins
Anything happen in the first half hour? I'm just turning in...
ReplyDeleteI read this to "Bangin' On A Trashcan" from Doug.
ReplyDeleteAlso, -CAPS LOOK MAN
ReplyDeleteWhat would happen if someone used one of the MITB ladders to point at the WrestleMania sign?
ReplyDeleteBryan beat Sheamus
ReplyDeleteYou're just in time for Kane vs Christian! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteFirst time I've watched raw in a few months, that was a pretty good opening match! Wish the commentators had attempted to call it...
ReplyDeleteramdom thought,but I would love to AJ as Harley Quinn.
ReplyDeleteSheamus jobbed clean to Bryan, and the Rapture.
ReplyDeleteNever cross the streams.
ReplyDeleteCleanly
ReplyDeleteIt can't be THAT bad... could it?
ReplyDeleteSable meanwhile is bathing in Cristal and shits diamonds. Dammit Tammy!
ReplyDeleteI cannot be bored with AJ,oops.
ReplyDelete"All the way"???? WHat grade are they in????
ReplyDeleteShaving is for heels.
ReplyDeleteLove to what? Or should I ask?
ReplyDelete2th
ReplyDeleteSomeone tell him about the twinkie.
ReplyDeleteWait, Sheamus jobbed CLEAN? Fuck, I'll have to download Raw.
ReplyDeleteBig E always looks like he's high when he's smiling.. A Wellness Violation just waiting to happen,,
ReplyDeletecosplay as harley,sorry.
ReplyDeleteGotta keep the "target" audience happy... most of them haven't heard about the birds and the bees yet.
ReplyDeleteOr fucking for that matter. But I bet most of them have heard "FUCK!"
This is an awesome video package.
ReplyDeleteMizark time!!!
ReplyDeleteWith each passing year, she inches a little closer to full-blown prostitution.
ReplyDeleteGlad I missed the rapture.. I'd hate to be stuck in Eternity with a bunch of holier than thou Bible thumpers and old people,, Bring on the strippers!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, let's hope Smilin' John brings even a bit of the same intensity later.
ReplyDeleteThey really blew their wad early with this John Cena/Mark Henry program, the initial angle is hall of fame worthy but since then....
ReplyDeleteWas that hat guy?
ReplyDeletedamn, now I'm always worried that they'll job in non-title matches now... fuck you, Vince
ReplyDelete
