Howdy Blog O'Doomers!
We are less than a week from...whatever PPV there in this month (Hell in the Cell?) and it's time to take this puppy home with something good. There's no baseball and the Monday Night Football game sucks so if this is a strong showing of RAW maybe they can gain a little momentum.
Otherwise the same rules apply, enjoy the show and come out swinging but definitely keep it clean!

Gain a little momentum?
ReplyDeleteThe ending of RAW was great last week.
Statistically MNF this week doesn't just suck, it's the worst matchup EVER.
ReplyDeleteWith how hot last week's show ended, if WWE can't do a good number (above 2.9), it could get real ugly for the rest of the fall. If Cena is around this week, don't make it a surprise, tell people that he'll be around the main event segment, see if they can do a good 3rd hour.
The Ann Coulter reddit AMA was funny today. First, the entire thread was Downvoted into oblivion. Then all her answers, which were mostly snide/snotty responses to legit questions, were also Downvoted. It was fun to see her get so trashed. Thank you interweb!
ReplyDeleteParks and Rec got put on hiatus and now I just hate everything.
ReplyDeleteNBC is only showing four episodes the rest of the year and is re-airing it in January.
ReplyDeleteParks and Rec is a great show but NBC should've cancelled it years ago. It kills the Thursday night lineup
Don't worry everyone i won't let you down like I did last week
ReplyDeleteI highly disagree.
ReplyDeleteNBC would be in way worse shape on Thursdays if Parks and Rec wasn't around.
Damnit. Im still a big fan. This was its last year, right?
ReplyDelete*Black limo pulls up.*
ReplyDelete*PrimeTimeTen steps out*
Tony: "PRIMETIMETEN?! What's HE doing on NITRO!?"
No way. Parks and Rec dies in the ratings every single week. It cannot compete with Big Bang Theory and X-Factor. It gets the Thursday lineup off to a horrible start, and Sean Saves The World and Michael J. Fox Show are suffering as a result.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Family was already cancelled.
No confirmation, but Rob Lowe and Rashida Jones are leaving.
ReplyDeleteNot a shocker. Ratings are in the toilet. I was in love with the show for a while, but I haven't watched it regularly for the last year. It just got too mushy and anything with Poehler gets a more liberal/lefty slant.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, a Burt Macklin-themed Andy/April spinoff would kick ass.
I thought X factor was getting terrible ratings this year?
ReplyDeletePhew. I was worrying about that one all day. Thank God for The Giant... I mean, Parallax1978.
ReplyDeleteI just got into it last year, love it. Rob Swanson may be one of my favorite tv characters ever
ReplyDeleteAnything he wants.
ReplyDeleteDuh gee guys I see an HBK swerve.
ReplyDeleteWell that's NBC's fault moreso than the show itself. They did the same thing to Community too.
ReplyDeleteSstW and The Michael J. Fox show suck with or without P&R.
No, they are officially leaving. The current storyline for their characters is setting up a midseason exit.
ReplyDelete"RESPECT?!"
ReplyDeleteJust a little bit...
How is that NBC's fault? The show has been on the air for 5-6 seasons and never draws ratings.
ReplyDeleteNBC should be credited for keeping the show on the air when it should've been cancelled years ago.
'What's the deal with being fired by WWE?' - Showfeld
ReplyDeleteBig Show is live from the set of Rainier Wolfcastle's stand-up film!
ReplyDeleteIs show shooting?
ReplyDeleteWhen did HHH turn into Zeb?
ReplyDeleteThat was the joke.
ReplyDeleteStop with fucking lawsuits!!!
ReplyDeleteI meant no confirmation the show is ending.
ReplyDeleteDamn it..my perfectly legal method of watching Raw is being a pain.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt about that--he's amazing. Adam Scott and Rob Lowe also bring the goods in their own way.
ReplyDelete"YOU CAN'T KEEP FOOD ON THE TABLE"
ReplyDeleteThat's probably true... cause you know he's fat...
Not a fan of the overall angle, but Steph is KILLING it in her role. Love her
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen Sean Saves The World but it's a show that could have broader appeal than P-n-R. Ditto Michael J. Fox Show. NBC needs to stabilize its Thursday night lineup ASAP. Putting Community back in January or keeping P-n-R on the air is not going to help
ReplyDeleteHope HHH doesn't tell Show his shoe is untied.
ReplyDeleteA couple of Anne Coulter fans, really?
ReplyDeleteI never have problems when I give a "smack" to "your" "tv"
ReplyDeleteDot. And com.
If you want to private message me I can provide you with the name of my cable provider who has consistently good service.
ReplyDeleteThe old "play yourself to 11" once again proves it works. If you're a shrill bitch in real-life, just get a little shriller for TV
ReplyDeleteThis angle blows.
ReplyDeleteThe time is right for Chris Jericho to return as Big Show's Stephanie McMahon Insult Coach.
ReplyDeleteYes. and, speaking as a fat guy, we keep food on the table. And in the refrigerator. And the cupboard. etc.
ReplyDeleteHave you not paid attention to how NBC treats their comedies the last decade really?
ReplyDeleteForcing 30 Rock and The Office to run to the point of being unbearable? Fucking with the time-slot of Community for the sole purpose of canceling it?
Besides, it's really dumb of them to expect anything on their lineup to compete with Big Bang. You could bring back 30 Rock and it would get slaughtered against it.
That's the difference between CBS and NBC.
X-Factor is never going to hit the levels of AI and was a victim of Simon Cowell's boasting. It still does well enough in the ratings. The Voice has also taken a lot out of its sails.
ReplyDeleteHis latest tour did just wrap up.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, it's now the PG-Era. Not sure how great that would be.
ReplyDeleteThanks...I think I'm good now. :-)
ReplyDeleteand, thanks to you too. I like to watch wrestling. on the net.
ReplyDeleteThey kept a critically acclaimed show like 30 Rock on the air for 7 seasons and gave it a fitting sendoff. Office also got its own sendoff.
ReplyDeleteCommunity is a niche show that will never gain mass appeal. NBC should've taken out Community and had it shot years ago.
If anything, NBC has treated its comedies too well.
Filthy, dirty, disgusting, bottom-feeding, trashbag _hose_
ReplyDeleteSo...Assassin's Creed....that's just going to go on forever?
ReplyDeleteAh - well they were leaving regardless of the show's fate this season. I'd imagine NBC will try to let Parks & Rec end with some notice since the fanbase may be small, but it's extremely dedicated. They also seem to like to keep Poehler (and by extension Tina Fey) happy.
ReplyDelete3's ending was so bad that it pretty much pushed me away from the series.
ReplyDeleteSince when did the Shield get their minitron with the Hounds of Justice, because it looks really stupid
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I never got through the first one. DOn't remember why it lost me. Was cool and all.
ReplyDeleteYeah, didn't they resolve the main story arc, that the sun was going to kill everyone again?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she is that bossy in the sack
ReplyDeleteSame here, have heard the 1st one is the worst, just got really repetitive in what you had to do.
ReplyDeleteAre they going to have the pink ropes at Hell in a Cell?
ReplyDeleteGiven that someone in the truck pushed the button to put the Big Show on the air, and another person pushed another button to get him off the air, I imagine we all just missed an epic in-truck struggle that rivals the likes of Gotch vs. Hackenschmidt.
ReplyDeleteSo, maybe worth revisiting then.
ReplyDeleteHave heard 2 is one of the best games ever made, so yea I should force my way through 1.
ReplyDeleteThe scenery in the Italian ones is amazing and the "back in time" storylines are pretty good. The sci-fi ones, depends how ridiculous you like it, because it gets pretty ridiculous
ReplyDeleteSo, I think Lawler just guaranteed we'll get interference at the HITC main event.
ReplyDeleteThe first one sucks. Just skip to the second one. You won't miss much.
ReplyDeleteOk. So...did they just blow off the whole "It's all in your head" angle?
ReplyDeleteNice to be back on the BoD after my weeks away watching baseball playoffs :P
ReplyDeleteBryan is working the arm like Del Rio should.
ReplyDeleteNever did acquire a taste for baseball.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't last year.
ReplyDeleteNo, the stuff with Desmond continues. 2 has a new historical protagonist, though... the best of the bunch, by far.
ReplyDeleteI'm really hoping Bryan finally wins the title cleanly Sunday, I want to be able to revel in the real victory party on Monday next week
ReplyDeleteWhoopsie.
ReplyDeleteWhat was that supposed to be?
You damn right.
ReplyDeleteEspecially since I have pretty good seats :P
ReplyDeleteThe kids continuing to chant "YES" after Bryan stops kicking reminds me of the idiots who would always yell "FOUR!" after Hogan delivered his third-and-final punch during all of his comebacks.
ReplyDeleteThis "hit the floor, go to break" matches remind me of Raw from the mid 90's.
ReplyDeleteWell then. You can just go to hell. :-P
ReplyDeleteAnyone else catch that botched move? Hurricanrana looking thing?
ReplyDeleteYou'll be getting a victory party.
ReplyDeleteIt'll just be for Orton.
Hes gotta win it sunday, doesnt he? I dont know how much longer they can draw out Orton/Bryan
ReplyDeleteOh good Disqus is doing that bullshit where it doesn't update.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope not. Have a feeling we will get some NXT debuts as well since it's in Orlando and all.
ReplyDeleteWell, to be fair, Hogan could only count so high.
ReplyDeleteNice to have you back you rascally Cabbit!
ReplyDeleteWait for it.
ReplyDelete....
...
..
.
..
...
....yup.
I really hope I get my homework done with NXT tapings Thursday, HIC Sunday (not going but watching), and Raw tapings on Monday. Should be a lot of WWE appearances at NXT due to the whole company being in Florida Thursday-Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteSome NXT jackoffs break into the cell and help Orton win?
ReplyDeleteYou must really like being tortured.
Might I suggest ignoring the homework?
ReplyDeleteMainly just hoping for Zayne's promotion
ReplyDeleteYea . . can't really do that, but I should be able to keep up as long as I don't get lazy Wed and Friday :P
ReplyDeleteGreat. So I'm back for the first time in weeks and cabspaintedyellow isn't here. He's like the Kazarian to my Daniels. Who am I supposed to share these appletinis with?
ReplyDeleteI'll drink appletinis =^_^=
ReplyDeleteShawn will raise the hand of whichever superstar accepts Jesus into their hearts the fastest.
ReplyDeleteWould be nice. Think he's ready?
ReplyDeleteMight I suggest ignoring the laziness?
ReplyDeleteHeh.
Cabs is doing his tv reviewing thing...and Ripner drinks appletinis!!!
ReplyDeleteSWEET PINK MONKEY JESUS THAT LOOKED PAINFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteHe's been ready, he learned WWE style very quickly, within about a month of his debuting with NXT. He can speak, he just oozes charisma, he is ready.
ReplyDeleteHow do the NXT tapings work anyway? I'm curious to go to one next time I'm visiting Orlando.
ReplyDeleteThen here's hoping.
ReplyDeleteTruthfully not much I won't drink. No straight up vodka, otherwise I'm good heh.
ReplyDeleteBryan seems like he would be a Wiccan or a Pagan or some shit
ReplyDeleteBrie and Bryan have been working on that one
ReplyDeleteStereotype much?
ReplyDeleteYowza. Pics or it didn't happen. Or video.
ReplyDeleteThey sell tickets on nxttickets.com . You buy a ticket and go, tickets go on sale for the next taping the day after the previous taping.
ReplyDeleteHas to be a pagan god of facial hair.
ReplyDeleteNot my usual drink but they can be tasty :P My usual is just a Rum & Coke or a Tequila Sunrise, or Jagr-Bombs (with Green Monster not Red Bull), love those.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I could see Bryan being into some new age religion. Funny enough I can see Orton being a Scientologist. In which case Shawn will try to excercise them both.
ReplyDelete25 minutes in and we have are 1/4 of the way to hitting BFG numbers
ReplyDeleteDo a shot everytime you hear the word "abeyance."
ReplyDelete... and half the BoD dies of alcohol poisioning.
I like it when I don't know what religion a celebrity is.
ReplyDeleteI do homemade vodka slushies with fruit punch soda.
ReplyDeleteThere were probably more BoD comments than there were total PPV buys.
ReplyDeleteAs long as he gets a decent first storyline and someone decent to work with he'll be over in no time.
ReplyDeleteI can't be the only person that thinks of the Magic the Gathering card everytime they say abeyance can I?
ReplyDeleteProbably more people reading comments than paying for seats
ReplyDeleteI vote Cesaro. Just cause.
ReplyDeleteWe all legally purchased that PPV.
ReplyDeleteSweet kip-up
ReplyDeleteI would say "HEY OH!" but you might be right
ReplyDeleteI'd pair him up with Tyson Kidd as a Canadian team vs We The People to start, his promo work against Zeb has been fun in NXT and they can recreate his Cesaro match, and he's over with that.
ReplyDeletePretty nice opening match.
ReplyDeleteBryan doing some brown nosing through his moves.
ReplyDeleteYes. Yes, you can.
ReplyDeleteOr, yup.
Funny, because this opening match is already better than anything from BFG last night, too.
ReplyDeleteThat was good.
ReplyDeleteBook it. Book it now.
ReplyDeleteWTF is the E doing with the shield?
ReplyDelete:: Jobs you out to OfficeFarva ::
ReplyDeleteTeaching them to shake hands in the back?
ReplyDeleteWhat's that you say? There's ice cream in my freezer? And you say I should eat it? Well, if you insist....
ReplyDeleteThe Bellas aunt is an Ealges fan? That's awesome.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Vince secretly owns TNA and uses it so people like us will appreciate WWE more...
ReplyDeleteWWE Breast Cancer awareness....ignoring all other cancers in the process.
ReplyDeleteNope, still not buying Bellas as babyfaces.
ReplyDeleteKnew there was something other than being talentless hacks why I didn't like them
ReplyDeleteI heard Abeyance is a fan of the Steelers
ReplyDeleteAd Break Question... What's a gimmick of your invention or a gimmick you'd like to see return to TV?
ReplyDeleteAbout time. Here's your appletini.
ReplyDeleteApparently
ReplyDeleteEventually have Kidd turn on him since Tyson's always been better as a heel (He just has those douchey looks he gives the camera if he needs to), and have those 2 have a 5-star match some PPV.
ReplyDeleteStraight Edge society
ReplyDeleteI certainly appreciate Stephanie McMahon a little more after watching Dixie Carter for five minutes.
ReplyDeleteDouchey heel who vapes in peoples faces.
ReplyDeleteLoaded something, boot, glove, mask...easy heat grabber
ReplyDeleteThe Marc Mero insecure dick boyfriend character
ReplyDeleteJust stay away from the yellow snow cones. They just don't taste right.
ReplyDeleteHey who'da thunk that Vince was bankrolling ECW back in '99?
ReplyDeleteStranger shit has happened.
A Stand-up comic gimmick could be a nice lower-card act
ReplyDeleteRegarding the R-Truth HITC spot...
ReplyDeleteSlick is a better preacher and dancer and his song is way better too.
That's tailor made for Colt Cabana.
ReplyDeleteSean O'Haire's Devil's Advocate character
ReplyDelete(Not the wrestler, the gimmick).
They should give that to Conor O'Brien
ReplyDeleteThrowback WWE Classics hipster, bringing back shit from less venerated wrestlers in the WWE pantheon as well as dated moves. 'I've used the Indian Death Lock forever'. 'You don't KNOW Jay Youngblood?'
ReplyDeleteCrazy old man like Bob Backlund. I'm sure an older WWE wrestler could pull this off.
ReplyDeleteRex Dart, Eskimo Spy
ReplyDeleteWas Cena advertised for tv tonight?
ReplyDeleteSalt.
ReplyDeleteI always came up with a dumb gimmick in the wrestling games and dubbed my CAW "The Last Warrior." He'd refuse to job because if you beat him, there'd be no warriors left.
ReplyDeleteDon't think so.
ReplyDeleteSo a non-retarded Eugene?
ReplyDeleteI like it!
Wrestling.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of that hoodie, I may pick one up soon.
ReplyDeleteDon't say his name he will appear like the fucking state farm guy
ReplyDeleteI like the way Snrub thinks!
ReplyDeleteI also love the merch possibilities; reissues of classic WWF/NWA/AWA shirts.
Isn't that Bryan's gimmick?
ReplyDeleteI did too, then I saw it was 50 bucks.
ReplyDeleteMore specifically, a wrestler who wants no entrance music or pyro, and only says a few ominous words. He just beats the shit out of people.
ReplyDeleteI love most of his merch actually
ReplyDeleteSsssh.
ReplyDeleteBrock?
ReplyDeleteArmbar?
ReplyDeleteWelcome.
ReplyDeleteHere comes Punk once again trying to carry a feud months after its expiration date. He's doing his darnedest, but...shit, there's only so much you can do when Heyman's guys can't contribute much.
ReplyDeleteYeah, yeah. Fool me once, shame on me....fool me 3 or 4 times...
ReplyDeleteI swear Punk goes out of his way to say "Wrestling" because fuck Vince's stupid rules
ReplyDeleteDoh.
ReplyDeleteThat was good, Louis. Short, but... pointless.
ReplyDeleteWell that was succinct
ReplyDeleteBit abrupt...
ReplyDeleteand more power to him because of it.
ReplyDeleteCrossing my fingers now he calls Wrestlemania the Grand Daddy Of Em All come March just for shits and giggles.
ReplyDeleteYea, give me back heel Punk
ReplyDelete$50, really? Eh, maybe I'll stick get one. Need a new hoodie.
ReplyDeleteI think Heyman and Triple H team up after they both lose at HIAC and leads to a Punk/Bryan/Show/Rhodes vs Ryback/Axel/Shield Survivor Series match
ReplyDeletePunk needs to kill these guys and move on to something else, the problem is what.
ReplyDeleteYep, instead of Ryback, they should have just kept throwing low card guys into it, have punk just run through 5, 6, 7 guys, Paul getting more and more scared, they can do a "performance review" and have Brock run through whatever's left of them and set up the rematch
ReplyDeleteKiss him....kiss him
ReplyDeleteWelll, kinda...he has entrance music. and he talks. He shouldn't.
ReplyDeleteThe other ones don't allow you to market pink versions of existing merchandise to women.
ReplyDeleteNice.
ReplyDeleteI'd pirate that!
ReplyDeletePunk is a very strong preservative, but eventually, the goods spoil when you've got nothing but Curtis Axel and The Ryback.
ReplyDeleteYeah I am over this feud... and it is between one of my favorite wrestlers ever and favorite managers ever
ReplyDeleteWheat grass? Fuck you and your buzz cut, Trips.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The fans chanting "what?" is a problem.
ReplyDeleteIs Stephanie the Seinfeld version of a two-face? One week she's hot enough to conjure up memories of her 2000 era cuteness. Other weeks, she's Large Marge with a Bigfoot type, lumbering gait.
ReplyDelete"We're not a wheat grass company" lulz
ReplyDelete"I've just been handed a note, Monsoon... Shawn Michaels has left Triple H's office!"
ReplyDelete"WHO CARES?!"
