No Ryback or Axel? That's it, I'm boycotting Wrestlemania!
ReplyDeleteSo RybAxel is in the tag title match. Just what everyone was hoping for!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you're getting that Piper one.
ReplyDeleteScooby Doo aside, I'm excited to be going tonight? Any other New Yorkers going to be in attendance?
ReplyDeleteI absolutely will be getting that.
ReplyDeleteIm thinking that Piper story is the same one that he said on a Legends of Wrestling show that was hilarious and as crazy as you would imagine with those involved.
ReplyDeleteAny word on how he went in the match?
ReplyDeleteDidn't hear on how he went in the match but I imagine he worked a tag matchor something like that and just came in for a few spots.
ReplyDeleteHe's been making the rounds at NJ indies and doing the same. Even before the diagnosis.
ReplyDelete"You must have this much personality and/or talent to enter the battle royal..."
ReplyDeleteI'll be there!

Why/How is Brock Lesnar a lazy fuck?
ReplyDeleteTwo weeks until WrestleMania and there are five matches. One of them is a battle royal. It's pretty weak for a multimedia entertainment company to have a three-hour flagship show with an extremely talented roster and not have anything hyped beyond six guys.
ReplyDeleteThreadjack:
ReplyDeletewww.youtube.com/watch?v=MVUJfLI95A4
Macho Man vs. Jushin Liger. Even when both men were in their primes I'd still consider this a random matchup.
Also, been watching WCCW on the Network...did Akbar have a thing about his army being booked in heel vs. heel matches? They are now in the midst of Devastation Inc. vs. Armand Hussein's stable. And I know later they did the same against the Freebirds.
Holy crap, Orton and Batista have been fighting with or against each other on and off for TWELVE YEARS. Tell you the truth, I never thought early Batista would amount to anything. He just seemed one of the many generic big men that came up around this time.
ReplyDeleteAngle being goofy and then "snapping" and getting violent gave him two places to be. It's why I don't like Serious Wrestling Machine Kurt Angle. There's nowhere for him to go and no journey to take.
ReplyDeleteOh man, now crowds will sarcastically cheer for Ryback.
ReplyDeleteSo Raw tonight will feature Lesnar, Taker, Arnold and Scooby Doo? Am I being selfish for being upset that Hogan isn't scheduled to be there? I haven't seen Hogan live since January 1998, the internet radio show WCW did at the Fleet Center in Boston.
ReplyDeleteI'm upset because this is ruining the potential for them to put the belt on Hogan and get all that mainstream attention.
ReplyDeletedidn't Jericho claim that because of the whole way the WWE works nowadays there are no such things as "five star matches" anymore a few years ago?
ReplyDeleteNexus finally wins gold again!
ReplyDeleteI guess that's really our typical "smark" attitude because as we have discussed a few days ago many of "us" felt the same way about Brock when he started.
ReplyDeleteI did too.
ReplyDeleteI watched the match a few years back on YouTube and I still thought Jeff was winning the belt after he nailed Taker with two SICK chair shots to the skull, that was one hell of a false finish.
Taker and Angle had an awesome match on the July 4th Smackdown, that brilliantly continued their feud into Vengeance. I believe Angle turned the Last Ride into a choke and got pinned at the same time that Undertaker tapped out, so there was no decision on the winner. I remember being at that show, and being surprised at how good it was, considering Undertaker's in-ring work during that era was generally horrible.
ReplyDeleteThat show was also memorable for Hogan making his first appearance since he came back to WWE with "Real American" as his music, when he and Edge won the tag titles from Chuck & Billy.
That's just the way things are now, they never advertise everything in advance. We're probably lucky we're getting 5 matches announced.
ReplyDeleteThey'll probably add the tag and diva title matches tonight along with Shield vs the NAO and Kane.
ReplyDeleteI was afraid the post said that Jake passed this weekend.
ReplyDeleteTeam Creatives Got Nothing For Us So We Had To Change Our Names And Personas On 3 Different Occasions.
ReplyDeleteHogan was rumored to be on the show but the company hasn't announced anything yet
ReplyDeleteI guess they could still surprise us, but yeah, I was more talking about the official announcement.
ReplyDeleteBayless, I follow your daily news updates, I KNOW he was rumored!
Sting wouldn't have committed to a rapper gimmick.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to wrestling!
ReplyDeleteLook at those ratings, look at them!
ReplyDeleteGlad to know you get your daily dose of newz on the blog but I am always here to help and inform the people.
ReplyDeleteSo I guess the Rybaxel news means no one will double dip in matches for Mania and they are going after the tag titles with the RA. And hopefully Harper and Rowan added as well.
ReplyDeleteThey'll be too busy standing by Bray's side during his match.
ReplyDeleteYeah I know but I still hoped they'd be wrestling on the show.
ReplyDeleteSting doing a rapper gimmick, would probably be akin to Homer doing his Mr. Plow rap.
ReplyDeleteYes, but apparently TCGNFUSWH2CON&PO3DO > Team Ryder and Miz. Whomp whomp.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. His mic skills were really bad, too.
ReplyDeleteI really hope this isn't because they're giving Ryback or Axel something else to do at mania.
ReplyDeleteWhich, let's be honest, even if he's in a hell of a lot better shape, he's not exactly a spring chicken anymore. I think even Jake knows he's there to help the fed make money on his name, alone.
ReplyDeleteWhen mr. America shows up for the first time and says "brother", the reaction on piper's face is priceless.
ReplyDeleteSo likely it'll be Ryback/Axel, the Real Americans, the Usos and probably another team (the Rhodes bros seem like a logical pick) in a fatal fourway for the tag titles. Ryback/Axel and the Americans were both promised title shots by Kane for helping him attack the Shield on Smackdown, so it seems likely for Mania.
ReplyDeleteSavage probably shouldn't have been wrestling on that clearly injured leg. It was hurting him enough that it even affected his delivery of the big elbow --- he couldn't tuck it in and it looked more like CM Punk's version
ReplyDeleteJesse, was this rant during the period where according to you, Scott was "trying to phrase the rant in the most banal, wishy-washy possible with plenty of masturbational whacking for his favorite Chris Benoit while still not saying ANYTHING bad about HHH so as to stay on the cunt Steph's good side when he submits his monthly application to be a WWE writer."
ReplyDeleteTJ: never got into gwar but they were an always present part of the metal world i was aware of since i got into metal as a wee loser back in the late 80's. r.i.p.

I am obviously 100% happy and supportive of people that have chosen to no longer be addicts... but man do they get annoying with talking about their sobriety sometimes... I know I was when I stopped I was bad (and can still be at times)... anyway good for Jake regardless... couldn't care less about the rest of it.
ReplyDelete'MAKE YOURSELF FAMOUS KID!'
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew what WWE's fixation with triple-threat tag team matches is. They're almost never good, not even when you've got three competent teams in there, like the one they did at WM 28.
ReplyDeleteI'd prefer it were just The Usos vs. The Real Americans with no Rybaxel in sight.
It's a four-hour show, with a two-hour preshow. So having only five matches announced two weeks out is even more galling. But I expect we'll get an extra three matches announced this week alone. Maybe even four. This pretty much has to be a nine-match card, unless they're giving huge chunks of time to the main matches + Hogan hosting segments.
ReplyDeletei remember after cena debuted, everyone was like "holy shit, this dude is a technical master!!!"
ReplyDeletethen we learned it was angle carrying him
not that cena doesn't bring the good now, of course (though not in a technical sense), but after his debut everyone was touting him as a pure wrestler, which really wasn't the case
"This would be during the period when Jericho was bitching about a match that I apparently under-rated. So of course I took the high road in response"
ReplyDeletejericho went on a diatribe after KotR 02 b/c he was thought his match with rvd was the tits when a lot of people thought it was the bee stings
gunn+holly = hard ass
ReplyDelete"Any word on how he went in the match?"
ReplyDeletehopefully sober
I'd rather see more guys on the show than less. Besides Ryback has been getting into his new character pretty well and I'd rather see him stay in the tag division.
ReplyDeleteNo one is forcing you to listen to him.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they should be left off the show, but rather simply confined to the battle royal. I'm already kind of struggling to figure out how they're going to find thirty guys to fill out the thing as is, unless they dip into the NXT roster. And while I'd love to see guys like Sami Zayn, Adrian Neville, and Aiden English get WM paydays, I hate the idea of bringing them in cold like they did with Rusev at the Rumble.
ReplyDeleteA) I didn't listen to him
ReplyDeleteB) No one is forcing you to listen to me
Maybe there's a staffing shortage in concessions at the arena?
ReplyDeleteI really found out about Gwar from watching Beavis and Butthead as a kid
ReplyDeleteWere you an addict at one point in your life?
ReplyDeleteNot sure I'd put that label on what I was. I definitely drank entirely too much and was not a nice person while I was doing it...but when I decided to quit, I just fucking quit and didn't go through all the winning and theatrics that people who think addiction is s disease do when they decide to quit... but I did get quite preachy about it afterwards (and still do at times) so I leave it to everyone else to decide what I was or wasn't.
ReplyDeleteI really think the Battle Royal was a mistake in terms of getting a good undercard of matches, because now they're backed into a corner with a roster that is not as large as the mid- to late-80s. I wonder how many NXT guys/legends are going to be brought back for the Andre match in order to fill out 30 guys.
ReplyDeleteFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how neither Orton or Batista get zero love on the Raw preview.
ReplyDeleteTaker-Brock is such a forgone conclusion that there has to be some kind of swerve coming.
To be fair, you aren't a public figure with well-documented issues like jake. So maybe this is a way that jake wants to show his fans that he's doing well and maybe he can inspire others with his message.
ReplyDeleteYea. I think people with a public forum or a following have more of a social obligation to speak out on things like that.

ReplyDeleteGonna be fun!
That's how I feel about born again religious people. Good for you for finding something that gives you peace...I just don't want to hear about it all the time
ReplyDeleteYou'll get a swerve, but it'll be Taker beating Brock in 10 minutes instead of the usual 30.
ReplyDeleteSeems like you realized alcohol made you difficult to be around and you decided to stop.
ReplyDeleteRyback was almost in a high profile match if Goldberg hadn't been so picky about the financials.
ReplyDeletePartially true, though I did it more for myself than the fact that other people found me hard to be around (which is an understatement)
ReplyDeleteI know nothing about comic books but is that Superman series where he's dead but comes back as 4 different Supermen worth anything?
ReplyDeleteHe was apparently trying to spread the word about Pete Weber.
