I though Brodis would be a mid card fixture for years. A bigger Kofi. I wonder who's hand he didn't shake to fall out of favor so fast. Going from dancing fool to angry big man is such an easy change to make. Especially with Brodus' imposing look. It's a shame really. A damn shame. They really dropped the ball.
ReplyDeleteBrodus, why did you make Cameron cry? Could you take Vincent in a fight?
ReplyDeleteRAW: Bet there's at least one more rewrite left before 8PM.
ReplyDeleteNXT: Interesting...
KC: Damn, that was quick. Also, I'll always have the WM XXX memory.
Bray Wyatt's nickname is now The Eater Of Worlds?
ReplyDeleteOkay then.
Kevin Hart is going to get powerbombed through a table, right? They have to know he is going to get booed but I doubt they care at this point.
ReplyDeleteI guess they have Rusev, who is (probably) younger and in better shape to fill that "big monster heel" role. We shall see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteThey've been calling him that on commentary for months now.
ReplyDeleteReally? I guess i've really managed to tune out most of what they blather on about lately.
ReplyDeleteEusebius is going to flop so hard when they change him to a fun loving dancing foreigner and team him up with Santino in 6 months. Just imagine the jokes about him not wearing shoes. "HE'S GOT NO SHOES ON MAAAAGGLE AND HE'S DANCING!"
ReplyDeleteHe's been calling himself that from time to time from his debut vignettes, I think.
ReplyDeleteIf he's that, it's because he already flopped as a monster heel. And if that's the case, why the fuck not have him be a dancing idiot? Doesn't really matter at that point.
ReplyDeleteThey're making a sincere effort to get him over as a monster heel, and that's all fine and well. He doesn't appear to have the range to be much more than that and sometimes the monster heel thing gets over, sometimes not.
More like the eater of John Cena's pin attempts, am I right?
ReplyDeleteWould Hart let himself be a shitbag heel and take a bump from, say, The Shield? Because that would be amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou are just partial to Bulgarians due to your experiences with them.
ReplyDeleteI think he would. He usually lets himself be the butt of jokes in his shows and movies.
ReplyDeleteThey should have Kevin come out and talk about being a lost Hart brother and his time in the family dungeon.
I agree. Even if he wasn't the Funkasaurus, I thought he was talented enough to be the new Viscera!
ReplyDeleteHe's a self-deprecating guy so I don't think that would be a problem for him. Raw isn't his audience so I don't see the problem being heel, not sure about him taking a bump.
ReplyDeleteThat would be hilarious.
ReplyDeleteLooks like someone has been reading my VIKING SPACE LORD BROCK LESNAR posts.
ReplyDeleteHe's the long lost Hart brotha.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm going to be pissed if he doesn't claim to be a long lost Hart.
ReplyDeleteForeign monster to (dancing) idiot does seem to be a general progression in the biz (e.g. Koslov), but because crowds are generally on the racist side, they're only willing to accept that with performers of color (which explains why Koslov didn't last long after the change), so I'd say Rusev is screwed too, personally.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for him if that is the case
ReplyDeleteWWE.com really pushes their nicknames out there. "Cenation leader", "Boom Squad General", to name a couple are used in every article about Cena and Kofi, for instance.
ReplyDeleteI thought he had so much potential, he's a big man with personality. I don't see what they're missing with him, they never even gave him a chance to get over as a heel.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLOa1-A9kfs
ReplyDelete1. He has the whole world in his hands.
ReplyDelete2. He's fat.
ergo
3. He's going to eat the world.
Koslov got bounced because he had neither the charisma to be a goof nor the talent to be a monster.
ReplyDeleteChange the tense to present and that sounds like Rusev all over for me.
ReplyDeleteAre you the one that started the Viking Space Lord thing? Because "Viking Space Lord Bork Laser" is the only way I even refer to him now.
ReplyDeleteYes. I started it when he attacked the Miz.
ReplyDeleteAnd they say the Miz is useless.
ReplyDeleteIt's possible, and likely, but I'm OK with giving him more time to prove himself. He just got called up to the main roster and hasn't had a major feud yet.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, Rusev is sorta getting over. Sticking him with Lana was a good move and he looks like he at least has more natural/physical charisma than Koslov had. Plus, the picture of Putin they put up with his awesome come hither look cracks me up every time. I expected Rusev to flop for all the same reasons, but I wouldn't be surprised if he succeeds.
ReplyDelete... you meant "bulges", right?
ReplyDeleteFair enough, I'm definitely counting my chickens before they hatch here, but the camel clutch finisher left me cold from the get-go, so i'm biased.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I wish he had a different finish. Even just the thrust kick would be fine.
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with the Camel Clutch? One of my proudest moments is when I made my friend's older brother cry from that move.
ReplyDeleteI saw a guy earlier today wearing an orange and blue (Illinois colors) CM Punk BiTW shirt. It was glorious and I wanted it. But alas, it was specially made for his marathon relay team.
ReplyDeleteyeah, but unless they keep him with Lana - and i'd be shocked if they didn't already have bigger plans for her - that's not going to matter all that much.
ReplyDeleteit still boggles my mind that the putin thing is helping at all. the only way that'd still be actually relevant is if it was building up to a feud with Darren Young.
They never even crammed the fact that he was a former bodyguard for Snoop Dogg down our throats. He could have easily been someone's bodyguard. A new age Curtis Hughes who occasionally dances to make Vince laugh.
ReplyDeletei don't doubt it's legitimately painful, but it's not visually impressive and hasn't been since Hogan beat the Iron Sheik.
ReplyDeleteWhen he got kicked off NXT, that promo was all they needed right there.
ReplyDeleteI'm pumped to go tonight!
ReplyDeleteI've got my NWO black and white underneath my work attire.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's helping or not. I just think it's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteNever underestimate the xenophobia of the casual WWE Universe.
ReplyDeleteDude is willing to do just about anything to get attention. I wouldn't be surprised.
ReplyDeleteMy friend put it on me when we were 12, and I thought he was gonna rip my neck off. Worst part was, I was screaming "I QUIT", but his hands were over my mouth!! So I let out 2 "Kenny from South park" I QUIT!! I QUIT!!, only for him to say "Do you quit??" UGHH!!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah this guy was bigger than us and he used to do the bulldozer move to us, that Bray Wyatt back splash and just generally beat the crap out of us. So when I got this on him I was determined to make him say I quit.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the San Antonio Spurs! My boys redeemed themselves!
ReplyDeleteYeah, i just thought they had to be of a different color for that to work. So, um, progress?
ReplyDeleteDid you take the time to humble him too?
ReplyDeleteI step away from this place for the weekend and so much crap goes down. Really sorry to hear about Farva he was a funny dude.
ReplyDeleteI did the time honored wrestling tradition of shitting in his gym bag.
ReplyDeleteTJ: As predicted, two of ESPN.com's headlines this morning: "Can't pin it on LeBron" and "LeBron's future looms"
ReplyDeleteAt least the main headline is about the Spurs though!
Ugh, just shut up about it til he signs somewhere.
ReplyDeleteThose headlines wouldn't be there if people didn't click on them.
ReplyDeleteJust like the extra John Cena merch wouldn't be there if people didn't buy them.
ReplyDelete(I have no idea where I am going with this. None at all.)
BREAD!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell duh, which is why ESPN was all Tebow, all the time a few years back and will probably be all Johnny Football, all the time in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteStill doesn't make it less annoying though.
That will never not be funny.
ReplyDeleteThat made me spit my cereal out. Funny.
ReplyDeleteThat should have been reserved for Steen once he gets called up.
ReplyDeleteRIP Favra.
ReplyDeleteI don't even have to look, it gets an upvote on the spot.
ReplyDeleteI do wonder what's going through his head right now. He has to see the writing on the wall and Wade might not last another two years and Bosh is in decline.
ReplyDeleteYeah I think will come down to who he can get to come there. As is, I see no way he sticks around.
ReplyDeleteHe's back in the same situation he was in when he was on Cleveland: A star that is carrying a team by himself.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I will say I don't think Bosh is in decline as much as he's playing out of position. You can get away from that in the East.
I don't remember seeing a "Heat Index" on the website. *giggle*
ReplyDeleteI didn't know the Spurs won. All ESPN talks about is how the Heat LOST.
ReplyDeleteAs little as he is he'd better be getting powerbombed by a Diva or Hornswoggle.
ReplyDeleteThe Black Hart.
ReplyDeleteSomeone's been watching Dexter's Laboratory.
ReplyDeleteIs Vince Jordan secretly a Negro wrestler that was squashed by Rusev?
ReplyDeleteTUNE INTO RAW TO FIND OUT!!!
He's been calling himself that forever.
ReplyDeleteI swear, Scott needs to trademark "Maggle" before someone else does.
ReplyDeleteOh man Tony Gwynn died! Damn, definitely one the best players I've seen in my life time. Wonder if I'll ever see a guy win 8 batting titles again?
ReplyDeleteThey should have made him a Muslim. He would have gotten over a lot quicker.
ReplyDeleteIf you do it right the pain in the lower back is excruciating.
ReplyDeleteYeah what is Vince doing? If he wants cheap heat its right there
ReplyDeleteI saw others do MAGGLE before Scott.
ReplyDeleteThe Sheik put it on the right way by sitting down and putting his full bodyweight on the low back.
ReplyDeleteYou watched someone do Maggle?
ReplyDeleteEh..
Yes, Heidenreich.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks. Dude seemed like a great guy. Did he die of cancer?
ReplyDelete"TUNE INTO RAW TO FIND OUT!!!"
ReplyDeleteFAR too big of a sacrifice!
Yes, from dipping.
ReplyDeleteDamn
ReplyDeleteI loved his interviews. He made Bryan Gumbel sound like Flavor Flav.
ReplyDeleteRIP
RIP Tony Gwynn
ReplyDeleteA lot of people here are saying "There's No Way I'm taking him back!" which is really stupid thinking. I do think that if we have Kyrie, whoever we take number 1, and LeBron, he'd be playing with a better Cleveland team than he ever did his first time around.
ReplyDeleteDude always seemed super smart and was the most consistent hitter I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteCleveland HAS a good, deep team. They lack the coach. I hope they keep Deng and draft Embid.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure who they're going to take as their coach. Right now, Ty Lue is the front runner, which I can't think would excited LeBron.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your reaction comments to the daily update everyday. Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteMark Jackson and David Blatt are candidates.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Curtis Hughes? I saw him do a promo as Shane Douglas' muscle on an episode of ECW TV, and he did a damn fine job. And the heelish grin was fantastic. After his run with Jericho, he vanished.
ReplyDeleteI would like both of them.
ReplyDeleteI think Jackson would be good enough. Blatt coaches Tel Aviv correct?
Wade might not last another two years? did you watch him "play defense" in this series? He didn't last this season. He really hurt them on D when he was out there. When he wasn't completely lost on who to cover and what to do (which was most of the time) he simply couldn't keep up.
ReplyDelete8 batting titles? In the steroid era?? Never again.
ReplyDeleteAll the respect in the world to Gwynn and his family. Thanks for giving me a childhood idol to respect.
It was really pathetic to watch. You pretty much nailed it. The injuries just built up too much.
ReplyDeleteHis All Star days are over unless.
He needs DDP Yoga.
ReplyDeleteHe needs steroids.
ReplyDeleteNot anymore. he left to get a shot at the NBA. He's a winner on every level.
ReplyDeleteThe Chocolate Hart
ReplyDeleteHm, that would be interesting. I would prefer Jackson just because I know what he brings to the table. I think he got the short end of the stick with the Dubs situation.
ReplyDeleteSo do I. From what I understand he made comments about gays that he wouldn't apologize for, and that won't fly in the San Francisco area,.
ReplyDeleteIf Kerr doesn't get them equal to where they were before they Warriors management will get crucified.
TJ: I'm watching the Raws leading up to Survivor Series 94. Did Bundy have a stroke or palsy or something? His mouth is weird and droopy. In a related note doesn't it seem weird that he has not got more play in legends/old school stuff. He was a popular wrestler who had a lot of personalty and got some movie and tv roles back in the day so its not like he is a no charisma drip.
ReplyDeleteI think Jackson would be a perfect fit for Cleveland. It would be ridiculous if he doesn't have a coaching job next year.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks he was a great player.
ReplyDeleteI know there are some Spurs guys on here and others fed up with Heat-centric focus... our basketball loving savant Andrew Riche did a piece focusing on the Spurs victory and how they arrived there...
ReplyDeletehttp://placetobenation.com/the-story-of-us/
The Heat's backcourt as a whole sucked during the finals.
ReplyDeleteHe's never coached before, I don't get why he's getting all the praise before he ever coached a game (well, I have a feeling I know why)
ReplyDeleteI thought he was playing bad and then saw the 12 minute montage that deadspin has up of him playing D...my god it was cringe worthy. When he actually tried he was lost..the rest of the time he was out for a nice stroll.
ReplyDeleteClean-cut white dude?
ReplyDeleteI'm so mad that a super team with three HOF'ers got another championship handed to them. Right, isn't that how this works?
ReplyDeleteI think just about any PG would be better than Chalmers. They need to replace him ASAP.
ReplyDeleteNailed it.
ReplyDeleteI never liked Chalmers to begin with. He was barely adequate.
ReplyDeleteThis was the super team of hall of famers people likes...or at least doesn't hate...so it's different.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-WFNbMohTQ&feature=kp
ReplyDeleteObligatory when Curtis Hughes is mentioned.
At least nowadays kids know that they can tap out.
ReplyDeleteOh, I see. Racism is fine as long as it served the gay agenda. (which is what happened because gay people protested.0
ReplyDeleteScott Steiner's was the worst.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't even sit down. He put the guy's head between his arms and flexed.
ReplyDeleteThe difference to many is that the Spurs happened organically through the draft and with a strong supporting cast. Miami was viewed as having gone out and orchestrated their team through FA. Honestly, I think it had to do more with two things: 1) The huge gala they threw after James and Bosh signed and 2) That Heat fans aren't really deserving of what they were given.
ReplyDeleteThat and the Boston Crab (original, not the Liontamer version) are back killers.
ReplyDeleteOh, and a Tombstone when the other guy is an idiot, and tries to lean his upper body away from it. (AKA "heavily modified/mutant" Boston Crab.)
Rusev is doing it pretty badly, yeah? It looks off even by my low standards. Something about the arm crossing.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I know he had an issue with an assistant coach as well.
ReplyDeleteHa, the elevated camel clutch. What a crock. Elevating worked for Jericho and the Boston Crab so it must work for this, right?
ReplyDeleteSo World cup time. What do we want to happen here (America wise) A draw so America could be ahead (if they win tonight) or for Germany to win because they will likely move on so that way we would be a whole 3 points ahead of them and Gahna...assume we win tonight?
ReplyDeleteMark was no more temperamental than any other coach, but he's a Pastor of a Baptist church and his religious views rubbed people the wrong way.
ReplyDeleteHe needs to retire.
ReplyDeleteFuck, another part of my childhood gone. Yet another casualty of the mutual stupidity in 1994.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Germany is going to take it to everyone, so I'm hoping for a win over Ghana and then maybe just maybe a tie against Portugal and for Ghana to real rough up Portugal and maybe tie them in that game so that we can squeak by on (hopefully) goal differential.
ReplyDeleteI think you nailed it with the gala they threw. That just rubbed about everyone the wrong way. And don't even get me started on Heat fans.
ReplyDeleteYea thats what I was thinking...They HAVE to beat Ghana and then US needs at least a tie some where but hopefully Ghana and Portugal can keep each other down.
ReplyDeleteSo it never really had anything to do at all with the "Super Team" thing that everyone screamed for three years about, it was just petty jealousy because Lebron didn't come to their town?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds about right.
I hope you guys lose to Ghana again!
ReplyDeleteIf we do lose to Ghana, then I'll definitely consider 0-0-3 in play. Until then, anything's possible.
ReplyDeleteI'm just kidding, I love basketball fans and their backward ass thinking, as though if Lebron had come to their city in free agency it wouldn't have been the happiest moment of their lives.
ReplyDeleteI really don't understand the Heat fan thing, how did they not deserve it? Their staff was able to pull off what every other staff in basketball was trying to do that year: Get the best in the world on their team.
Agreed on point one. I think they are looked at as a joke fanbase that leaves early and only cares when they win. Not sure it is true but it is certainly the perception.
ReplyDeleteThat's the thing with both Kerr and Fisher in NY. Um, are we sure these guys can actually coach?
ReplyDeleteI'm not the biggest NBA fan but I'm guessing if lebron and the decision didn't happen there would be more Spurs hate but between Lebron, the fan base, Pat Riley and so on..there is just too much to root against.
ReplyDelete
