All those soap writers have no idea how to book an up and coming MITB winner. All they do is lose until one day when they cash it in and now everyone's supposed to magically buy them as a top guy.
I haven't checked every comment in every thread so apologies if this has already been posted, but here's Hogan in a thong doing a parody of 'wrecking ball'
Sandow who just jobbed clean 15 minutes ago, because that whole situation just isn't ridiculous enough. That's probably exactly what's going to happen.
First season, yes. Second season is fun, but in no way as semi-realistic as the first. Season two basically just becomes 24. Third season is promising though. And it has Brody's daughter sending her boyfriend titty pics for some reason, so we're clear for take-off (no worries, she's 19).
Critical consensus seems to think so. But I thought season 2 was riveting as hell. People just hated it because it became melodramatic and over-the-top, whereas the first season had a relative amount of verisimilitude (or rather, as much as could be expected of a series that asks us to believe that the government keeps trusting a guy who may/may not have been turned over the course of 10 YEARS in captivity)
I have a weird relationship with Morgan Saylor: love the actress, hate her storylines.
The show just tries SO HARD to make Dana Brody happen, long past the point where we should still be checking in with her at all. But like I said, I do love the actress, and the character's increasingly ridiculous boots.
I just know that the Simpsons parody of Homeland from last week may have been one of the worst episodes that show's had in years. And that's saying a lot.
Season 2 is a bridge too far, in that regard. A SITTING US CONGRESSMAN? Really? It's almost impossible to believe that the big explosion at the end of season 2 ever would have been allowed to happen.
Oh, I thought that was when you cash in, win the belt then make snide remarks about everyone's intelligence and blame everyone else for ratings dropping.
I like him for what he is, but they frequently try to push him beyond his means. I think this right here is the perfect spot for him. I genuinely like this reign.
I thought he was booked great early on but they dropped the ball at WM when he shouldve went over Edge and they also killed his finisher in the same match...
I can't believe they're actually sticking with this Del Rio/Ricardo split. This was the perfect opportunity to put them back together. Just have Del Rio offer him a boatload of money right there.
Ma Del Rio is probably a fan... but she secretly likes his younger brother more. Is it so hard to just to home every now and then, Mr. Big Shot Wrestler?
Probably just trying to come up with a reason why Damien doesn't cash in, unlike last month when RVD left Alberto dead after the Van Terminator and Sandow was nowhere to be seen.
I enjoyed the match quite a bit, maybe a little slower than RVD's heyday of course, but it still was quite enjoyable, and more brutal than most WWE matches that don't involve Brock Lesnar.
Real Americans are wearing pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness, but shirts are still of their xenophobic gimmick, so people don't get any delusions about them actually being good people.
Alberto Del Rio d Rob Van Dam to retain the World Heavyweight Title (16:01) **3/4. Really slow-paced and not a whole lot of weapon shots but a decent match overall. Highlights include Van Dam doing the five-star frog splash off the apron onto the ladder. Late in the match, Ricardo broke up a the cross armbreaker with the bucket. he teased going back Del Rio but instead kicked him and used the bucket. After that, Del Rio destroyed him. The finish saw RVD miss the Van Terminator then Del Rio beat is arm with the chair and used the cross armbreaker, with RVD's arm wrapped around the chair, and RVD tapped. Throughout the match, the announcers brought up how Sandow was injured and could not cash in. He never appeared
He had his potential, but he hasn't lived up to it at all, nothing wrong with him...is just that there are far more talented people than him out there, on the mic and in the ring.
Will tonight be the night Goldust properly delivers a reverse atomic drop on his 4,568th attempt?
ReplyDeleteSandow has been jobbing to Gabriel this weekend at house shows
ReplyDeleteMy prediction for this pre show match? They somehow pin each other and both lose.
ReplyDeleteI think that RVD is going to beat ADR then git MitB by Sandow... that way RVD can still take his time off and we can get MitB out of the way for now.
ReplyDeleteSomehow, Romo figured out a way to choke despite putting up some incredible numbers. Unreal.
ReplyDeleteThis show can't possibly be worse than last months...so that's my prediction. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteIts the only way he knows how to play. Garrett should have ran to start their last drive
ReplyDeleteAll those soap writers have no idea how to book an up and coming MITB winner. All they do is lose until one day when they cash it in and now everyone's supposed to magically buy them as a top guy.
ReplyDeleteYep, that would've been smart.
ReplyDeleteIt's time to get rid of the Heavyweight title.
ReplyDeleteToo bad Garrett is a moron
ReplyDeleteThis Youtube feed is acting like a ROH ippv!
ReplyDeletePirates beat the Cardinals. Good for them
ReplyDeleteI am willing to put my step sons college fund on it! Of course I haven't started one for him yet so that may not really be a good indicator.
ReplyDeleteusually works better from the WWE page when i view it that way.
ReplyDeleteOr just start treating it properly, it's now even the A Angle on Smackdown anymore.
ReplyDeleteJustin and Scott will be live blogging over at PTBN also:
ReplyDeletehttp://placetobenation.com/wwe-battleground-live-blog/
Jesus I don't even know the card.
ReplyDeleteZiggs is pretty over with this Buffalo crowd.
ReplyDeleteNeither does Jesus
ReplyDeleteBray Wyatt vs Kofi Kingston is a main event anywhere in the country!
ReplyDeleteWhich country?
ReplyDeleteMeh...the defense has take a lot of blame. If you score 48 points you should win.
ReplyDeleteParts Unknown
ReplyDeleteI'm only interested in the Rhodes match.
ReplyDeleteDolph Ziggler d Damien Sandow in ten minutes. Average match wrestled at a slow pace. Ziggler took a few decent bumps. **1/4.
ReplyDeleteZiggler wins! On the pre show of a D level PPV against the Jobber in the Bank holder... but you take what you can get
ReplyDeleteI'm sure any small indy would take that as a main event :P
ReplyDeleteThat too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't checked every comment in every thread so apologies if this has already been posted, but here's Hogan in a thong doing a parody of 'wrecking ball'
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HazcWQ-PjzM
Of course, but with the game on the line and the score tied, all that is forgotten. You can't throw an interception at your own 20...you just can't.
ReplyDeleteGarrett will be fired after the season, Romo will STILL be the QB, and Jerrah will look like Dixie Carter.
ReplyDeleteSweet T looks funny in a suit.
ReplyDeleteCan't be worse than Honky Tonk Man vs Greg "The Hammer" Valentine.
ReplyDeleteThey're still on the indy circuit right?
I haven't seen it. I will never see it. Thank you and good day.
ReplyDeleteIt's Brooke right...
ReplyDeleteI made some good money on football today. Take a little and buy battleground or go get drunk on stoli? Hmmm..
ReplyDeleteIm probably the biggest romo supporter out there but if jerry jones doesnt make him see a sports shrink soon...fuck.
ReplyDeleteIt is not.
ReplyDeleteNeither are good uses of money
ReplyDeleteYou're a better man than me, at least when it comes to gambling. I never won and stopped doing it long ago.
ReplyDeleteGood evenin', folks.
ReplyDeleteEven Renee couldn't get that bull midget over.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Stoli wont subject me to Divas matches, HHH promos, or a probable shitty finish in a main event
ReplyDeleteI am going to post match recaps in the live thread tonight in case anyone is unable to doesn't want to see the show
ReplyDeleteLike it, good idea
ReplyDeleteWell, time to get RVD out of the way...and out of the company.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not feeling this run at all. Crowd still seems to dig him though.
ReplyDeleteThe World Heavyweight title match comes on first. Should be a solid *** affair, more if we get lucky.
ReplyDeleteI'm still confused about his contract. Completely conflicting reports about the nature of it.
ReplyDeleteDepends on whether RVD has his care pants on or not.
ReplyDeleteI have 0 idea to colin kapernicks ethnicity. Is he half black half white? Half italian? Half puerto rican? Its an enigma
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea. You're a good man, Brian Bayless.
ReplyDelete(In fact, that would be a good title for the BoD Christmas Special!)
THere have to be 25 - 50 ex wrestlers who could step in and take Lawlers job. Give someone, anyone, Val Venis, Nash.
ReplyDeleteThis whole Ricardo thing just isn't working. He's going to turn on RVD here, right?
ReplyDeleteI think he wins here and gets JitB cashed in on him then goes away.
ReplyDeleteTrying to get the most out of the one hour I have to watch this show before I have to versus Homeland and Revenge.
ReplyDeleteAnd they give me Del Rio.
One would think.
ReplyDeleteSo am i, a 3 month contract nowadays and a featured main role throughout and then what? Back to TNA? Or back at the Rumble?
ReplyDeleteWhy not just use him for tv and ppv?
ADR is the fucking man
ReplyDeleteHis pops must've been black or hispanic. Here's his bio-mom.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2243429/Colin-Kaepernick-Biological-mother-Heidi-Russo-wants-relationship-quarterback-son-gave-up.html
You'll take it. And you'll like it.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes.
You will.
Again... envy your job.
ReplyDeleteDoes Homeland live up to the hype btw?
Sandow who just jobbed clean 15 minutes ago, because that whole situation just isn't ridiculous enough. That's probably exactly what's going to happen.
ReplyDeleteHasn't Homeland shit the bed recently?
ReplyDeleteAll he seems to do now is make sound effects when wrestlers hit spots. He eeks and ahhs at least 10 times a match.
ReplyDeleteFirst season, yes. Second season is fun, but in no way as semi-realistic as the first. Season two basically just becomes 24. Third season is promising though. And it has Brody's daughter sending her boyfriend titty pics for some reason, so we're clear for take-off (no worries, she's 19).
ReplyDeleteMan. I hate it when a guy moonsaults off a barricade.
ReplyDeleteI still love it except for the Dana becoming a slut storyline
ReplyDeleteThat's quite the look Ricardo is rockin'. Quite the look.
ReplyDeleteCritical consensus seems to think so. But I thought season 2 was riveting as hell. People just hated it because it became melodramatic and over-the-top, whereas the first season had a relative amount of verisimilitude (or rather, as much as could be expected of a series that asks us to believe that the government keeps trusting a guy who may/may not have been turned over the course of 10 YEARS in captivity)
ReplyDeleteGood parenthetical point there.
ReplyDeleteGood read. I knew he was adopted but didnt know he had contact with his biological mom.
ReplyDeleteThey have no idea how to book anything.
ReplyDeleteI have a weird relationship with Morgan Saylor: love the actress, hate her storylines.
ReplyDeleteThe show just tries SO HARD to make Dana Brody happen, long past the point where we should still be checking in with her at all. But like I said, I do love the actress, and the character's increasingly ridiculous boots.
It reaks of "money grubbing", although I could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Road Dogg would do it in an instant, and he's usually entertaining on the mic.
ReplyDeleteDude. Was that a bitty bald spot on the top of Del Rio's head?
ReplyDeleteWhat city is this show at?
ReplyDeleteI just know that the Simpsons parody of Homeland from last week may have been one of the worst episodes that show's had in years. And that's saying a lot.
ReplyDeleteBuffalo, NY.
ReplyDeleteSeason 2 wasnt as good as 1 but season 1 was one of the best seasons of tv in my opinion. 2 was still pretty good
ReplyDeleteSeason 2 is a bridge too far, in that regard. A SITTING US CONGRESSMAN? Really? It's almost impossible to believe that the big explosion at the end of season 2 ever would have been allowed to happen.
ReplyDeleteNash would be a glorious trainwreck, especially if he's paired with company man JBL.
ReplyDeleteThat was a wacky and dangerous bump by Del Rio
ReplyDeleteNice corner bump from Del Rio.
ReplyDeleteAgreed
ReplyDeleteI fully expect Sandow to Nash-in his MITB.
ReplyDeleteThat's when you cash-in but blow your quad on the way to the ring.
Aww he's cute =^_^=
ReplyDeleteNot to be confused with Money in the Hank, which allows for a free tank of propane any time during the course of one year.
ReplyDeleteUgh, now I want wings.
ReplyDeleteAlright, take my money vince.
ReplyDeleteInstead...Del Rio.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1ZL8wC8czg
ReplyDeleteTHIS Nash, please.
Oh, I thought that was when you cash in, win the belt then make snide remarks about everyone's intelligence and blame everyone else for ratings dropping.
ReplyDeleteAre they busting out the super slow mo tonight or it just me?
ReplyDeleteThat slo-mo replay looked cool
ReplyDeleteSuper slow-mo replay is not a good thing for wrestling . . .
ReplyDeleteRoad Dogg and Puppet H would be a solid improvement over Cole/Lawler....
ReplyDeleteOr my sexual encounters.
ReplyDeleteWell, except perhaps, for making them seem longer.
Why? They review it before they air it obviously, they wont replay spots with alot of air.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only person who likes adr?
ReplyDeleteClose. Money in the Nash wasn't always for a world title contract. It used to guarantee the holder recognition at airports worldwide.
ReplyDeleteRoad Dogg/Puppet H would be an improvement over most announcers.
ReplyDeleteHe is a good worker but isn't as over as his push
ReplyDeleteWe can hope :P
ReplyDeleteI like him for what he is, but they frequently try to push him beyond his means. I think this right here is the perfect spot for him. I genuinely like this reign.
ReplyDeleteGood worker, but dull as dishwater.
ReplyDeleteI like ADR
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed his face run until it fizzled out.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand him
ReplyDeleteI'm ok with Del Rio. Like him better as a heel.
ReplyDeleteI thought he was booked great early on but they dropped the ball at WM when he shouldve went over Edge and they also killed his finisher in the same match...
ReplyDelete"What a rotten employee..." Heh.
ReplyDeleteI don't dislike him, however I do dislike how strongly he was shoved down our throats.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they're actually sticking with this Del Rio/Ricardo split. This was the perfect opportunity to put them back together. Just have Del Rio offer him a boatload of money right there.
ReplyDeleteRusso shakes his head in disgust with WWE booking in 2013.....
ReplyDeleteOooo...Mexican cursing.
ReplyDeleteHis mom says he's cool.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good way to bruise a rib
ReplyDeleteHardcore wrestling isn't what it used to be
ReplyDeleteOwww
ReplyDeleteNo, this is really slow-paced
ReplyDeleteNor Old Grey Mare.
ReplyDeleteIts been an hour and im still furious about that romo pick. Wheres my buddy Stoli when I need him...
ReplyDeleteMa Del Rio is probably a fan... but she secretly likes his younger brother more. Is it so hard to just to home every now and then, Mr. Big Shot Wrestler?
ReplyDeleteNeeds more blown and or repeated spots.
ReplyDeleteDude. Splash onto the ladder? Seems a bit dumb.
ReplyDeleteThey are mentioning Sandow being hurt a lot. It seems extrenious at the moment...
ReplyDeleteIn fairness his TE never came back for the ball....
ReplyDeleteWell, if you can't get those from Van Dam, who CAN you get them from?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if RVD worked a "I get to use the Vanterminator a lot more this time" clause into his contract
ReplyDeleteSabu's Hardcore Academy
ReplyDeleteKeep That Green as Grass Look, Well Into Your Second Decade in the Business!
I hope Tiny Bullman is on this PPV.
ReplyDeleteSurprised they let him use Shane's move this often....
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Still put the majority of it on Romos brain imploding for about 30 seconds
ReplyDeleteYOU'RE EXTRENIOUS!
ReplyDeleteProbably just trying to come up with a reason why Damien doesn't cash in, unlike last month when RVD left Alberto dead after the Van Terminator and Sandow was nowhere to be seen.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad match. Perfectly acceptable wrestling.
ReplyDeleteYou're a towel.
ReplyDeleteHe was on the preshow
ReplyDeleteIf you get upset about interceptions at clutch times, you might not want to be a Cowboys fan for the next few years...
ReplyDeleteAlberto Del Rio: Overcomes Two Opponents, Is Heel
ReplyDeleteYea, seems fishy...
ReplyDeleteThat seriously hurt my feelings.
ReplyDeleteFine match. Boring outcome.
ReplyDeleteWow. Didn't see that finish coming. Nice.
ReplyDeleteGood match. And I liked the ending. Adr outsmarted him!
ReplyDeleteWrestler A has a manager that interferes during the match. Is a face.
ReplyDeleteDammit.
ReplyDeleteThat Van Terminator looked amazing in slow mo.
ReplyDeleteShame Romo has to be the goat after a game like that. Dallas and Denver defenses were the drizzling shits tonight....
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the match quite a bit, maybe a little slower than RVD's heyday of course, but it still was quite enjoyable, and more brutal than most WWE matches that don't involve Brock Lesnar.
ReplyDeleteIm not. Big romo supporter. Maybe I should rethink
ReplyDeleteHey! Claudio on POV!
ReplyDeleteThat's right! Go after those dirty Canadiens!!
ReplyDeleteReal Americans are wearing pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness, but shirts are still of their xenophobic gimmick, so people don't get any delusions about them actually being good people.
ReplyDeleteCesaro is awesome during this
ReplyDeleteEveryone in the comment section please stand up and in a loud and clear voice repeat after me: WE THE PEOPLE!
ReplyDeleteYea, entertaining as hell tho
ReplyDeleteWE...THE FAT MEN.
ReplyDeleteCome on, no government shutdown reference from Zeb? Disappointing.
ReplyDeleteThis Real Americans/Khali+Santino match better be pure comedy.
ReplyDeleteDid Swagger need to look at a teleprompter for that just then?
ReplyDeleteWE THE PEEP HOLE
ReplyDeleteGiant Swing on PPV?
ReplyDeleteAlberto Del Rio d Rob Van Dam to retain the World Heavyweight Title (16:01) **3/4. Really slow-paced and not a whole lot of weapon shots but a decent match overall.

ReplyDeleteBathroom break time and i don't even have to go!
ReplyDeletePiss break match!
ReplyDeleteHm. My um....cable...is out.
ReplyDeleteADR is the most 'just there guy' ever.
ReplyDeleteDisagreed
ReplyDeleteNot very entertaining in a money league with my opponent owning Peyton. It was a fun game to watch though.
ReplyDeleteJust turned this on, I'm 30 minutes late. Was the world title match good?
ReplyDeleteI wrote a mini recap below
ReplyDeleteAbout 3 stars.
ReplyDeleteThat's spot on. The match had some decent spots, but didn't get a good flow.
ReplyDeleteGiant swing on Khali coming up.
ReplyDeleteHe had his potential, but he hasn't lived up to it at all, nothing wrong with him...is just that there are far more talented people than him out there, on the mic and in the ring.
ReplyDeleteGuessing the only purpose of this match is for Santino to do the swing on Khali.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that, good job.
ReplyDeleteI love when Van dam loses. Makes me giddy
ReplyDeleteI bet they turn Cesaro
ReplyDeleteI hate it when my piss breaks.
ReplyDeleteSantino and Khali are wrestling, consider it a blessing...
ReplyDeleteNoted. For a top guy I meant. He's good and all that, but no one seems to care and he makes me sleepy.
ReplyDeleteI don't consider Ricardo a star. It only had two stars, in my opinion. That's my expert analysis right there.
ReplyDeleteThe consensus is that Hornswaggle is what we want. Please adjust accordingly.
ReplyDeleteTime to break into the Appleton Estates
ReplyDeleteBack now. I like Santino, actually.
ReplyDeleteI want little Torito to destroy Hornswaggle.
ReplyDeleteSantino is good for what he is but Khali drags everything down...
ReplyDeleteHey now..I see what you did there... :-)
ReplyDeleteYou're a 21st century toilet!
ReplyDeleteTorito is an awesome high flyer
ReplyDeleteYeah, but I expect this to be what....10 mins, tops? Maybe 7?
ReplyDeleteWe don't chug maple syrup!.. You're supposed to savoir that stuff.
ReplyDeleteGreat, now the over/under on that being a feud is about 3 1/2 weeks.
ReplyDeleteHey now...I bear more of a striking resemblance to an outhouse.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping tonight is the night he breaks out the UFO.
ReplyDelete
