Recommended viewing today, I'm going for WWE's Elimination Chamber 2010. Two entertaining Chamber matches take up almost half the show, and you have the storyline of Shawn Michaels trying to goad The Undertaker into that final match in a most predictable-but-still-great way. If you like to cheer the heels, this is the show for you.

    On the Shawn Michaels front. I would have had him come runner up in that 2010 rumble. Really accentuate the storyline they're going for of "close but no cigar".

    Is that the chamber match where Morrison climbs up the fucking ceiling, hangs upside down, and just lets go onto Orton? (Cena?)

    I have had 0 life the past week. How have I missed all this awesome nba shit? All 3 series last night pushed into a game 7?

    I almost want to call off Saturday and just get drunk and watch hoops

    Adam Rose and Fandango as a tag team would seem logical

    At the very least, they should try to make it relevant. The U.S. has not battled the 'Soviet Menace' in a long time now. Vince must have just made it through all the Rocky movies on Netflix or something

    If the Mavs win tonight then all of the First Round Western Conference series would go to 7 games. I wonder if that has ever happened before since they adopted this format?

    It was already the best first round of hoops ever before all three series yesterday got pushed to 7 games.

    Houston would have to win too but I don't think all 4 have even gone to six games before!

    The Legends of Wrestling show about Iron Sheik & Andre was fantastic. The stories about the Sheik had me laughing nonstop, especially Michael Hayes' story about Sheik's failed drug test.

    at the very least, we could get ads for other stuff on hulu, not generic consumer crap

    Funny thing, when he lost, I thought it was a botch. Cause you could see him trying to grab the rope and just missing it. Took me like a minute to realize he actually did get legit eliminated. It might be my favorite rumble ever personally. (I didn't see 1992 live, so that is a big factor in my opinion)

    Anyone else read Grantland's WWE prospect list? The Masked Man is truly stupid even for a Bill Simmons' classified "expert." He said that Sami Zayn "trained under legendary luchador El Generico." Really? You can train yourself? ROH, PWG and Chikara are lucha now?

    I read that same line in that piece as a "wink and a nod" to his past....not as a statement of fact. If a reader didn't know who Zayn is, it wouldn't matter, but if a reader knew his past, I'm sure it was designed to elicit a chuckle. I know I did.

  27. Dusty4PrezMay 2, 2014 at 12:11 PM

    That makes sense I guess, but isn't that like saying Muhammad Ali trained under Cassius Clay or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar trained under Lew Alcindor? I'm probably just cranky today lol. Overall though it was one of his better pieces of late. I actually thought "wait Cesaro just #3?" but his promos aren't as good as Bray's and Reigns is obviously the next big thing. It was an interesting format for sure.

  28. GentlemanJeffMay 2, 2014 at 12:15 PM

    Not really, 'cause basketball ain't kayfabe and El Generico and Sami Zayn are supposed to be separate; or at least the identities are unacknowledged.

    Of course I hope some day in the future Sami Zayn loses a feud and comes back as El Generico, ala Mick Foley and Cactus Jack.

    That Thunder-Grizz game 7 should be freaking incredible. I really thought the Clippers were closing it out last night. As for the Pacers, literally nothing would surprise me from them this weekend. 11 point win? I can see it. 29 point loss? Sure, why not?

    Yeah, 2011, and he eliminated Sheamus.

    Just saw an ad for the new RAW post show DVD. Why are they blurring out their own logo? Is Vince planning on suing himself?

  38. Peyton_DrinkingMay 2, 2014 at 2:02 PM

    I think the show is getting worse as far as no time for the guys to just interact and its all reality situation crap. Some of it can work like if the bowling was the only one of those on this episode would be fine. EVen with all that stuff there are still moments like when Piper is in the pool bitching about Tony and stops and says ...maybe that's why I don't have many friends.

  39. The Immortal Hoke OganMay 2, 2014 at 2:08 PM

    Yeah, I always was too. It's a shame. Dude needs to hang it up. Induct Edge & Christian as a tag team and let them do some of their 2000-era comedy reems.

    Yeah I'll be getting fucked up Saturday. I've never seen the warriors play a game 7 in my entire life. Not sure what to expect so I'm getting plenty of drugs and alcohol for that game.

    When hbk pops up in that elimination chamber my friends and I laughed our asses off at Michael Cole's call of, "Shu Shu Shu Shu Shawn Michaels!" It's become one of those exaggerated things that we always imitate. I'm sure it wasn't even that bad but we've blown it out of proportion over the years.

    He's just keeping Zayn's own personal kayfabe. The official line is that El Generico went back to Mexico to volunteer at an orphanage.
