So I don't know if you checked the Smackdown Spoilers, in which case SPOILER! ahead. Dean chooses........
Lumberjack Match. I've already read comparisons to Spin The Wheel, Make The Deal landing on Coal Miners Glove Match. As much as I love this feud, my only thought why they picked such an ill-suited stip was prolonging it. But I don't think that is anymore needed. I want to see these guys pummel each other all over the arena and end in the ring ala Sullivan/Benoit. Thoughts?
I’m sure it’ll be a good match, but I’ve given up hoping that WWE’s visions of what makes an interesting stip will ever match up with ours again. I mean, has anyone ever asked for a Last Man Standing match? Or a stretcher match?
But let’s face it, they need to channel Mid-South and do a coal-miner’s glove / tuxedo / cage match like Doc and Dibiase did. Can you imagine how awesome Dean Ambrose would be rocking the tux? Plus then they could put the original match in their Video Vault section and tell people they can see it for only…well, you know.
So...everyone is excited to see the match...One guys likes to brawl all over and the other guy does all this high flying and diving all over the arena....lets keep them both in the ring.....
ReplyDeleteThis is just so Rollins can take out 12 guys with an over the top dive.
ReplyDeleteIt only telegraphs that they will not be adhering to the stip.
ReplyDeleteSo... like every WWE match these days.
and still be the heel!
ReplyDeleteIts going to be a reverse lumberjack match. The lumberjacks are going to keep them out of the ring.
ReplyDeleteMy problem is that it makes no logical sense. If I want Rollins trapped, I would do it in a Hell in a Cell. If Ambrose wants a good brawl, make it a street fight. With a Lumberjack match, it makes it obvious that the authority will be the lumberjacks.
ReplyDeleteAmbrose checked his calendar and saw that it wasn't October yet, so he chose a lumberjack match. Makes enough sense to me :P
ReplyDeleteWhy would a loner like Ambrose want a bunch of people surrounding the ring when thus far he's wanted Rollins alone? Fuck these writers.
ReplyDeleteI for one was hoping for a Lumberjill stipulation.
ReplyDeleteand that is why those gimmick ppvs are stupid
ReplyDeleteSaw it and made a sad fart noise in my head.
ReplyDeleteWhy would he want Rollins trapped at all? It's not like he's had any trouble getting his hands on him in the past. Ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteIf blood wasn't taboo, it should have been first blood. If it is taboo, then it should have been last man standing and they should have done a random hardcore match between Kane and Reigns on Monday.
This only makes sense if Ambrose thinks a lumberjack match means everyone has chainsaws.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Reigns will be a lumberjack...oh wait we aren't suppose to remember there is no reason he and Ambrose aren't still friends.
ReplyDeleteLUMBERJACK MATCH? Well, I bet we know how this will end: Kane, without his mask, will Tombstone Ambrose on the floor and Rollins will win.
ReplyDeleteOH come on they can do better I mean..a shampoo contract ..come on
ReplyDeleteAh, but you can't do Hell in a Cell because that's the October PPV (hence why I hate gimmick PPVs)!
ReplyDeleteCharlotte - Bayley Tuxedo Match! It's even an easy angle - overconfident Charlotte only wears tuxedo shirt and bowtie, Bayley rips off the bowtie and Charlotte has to protect the one item she has left.
ReplyDeleteThat match needs to be a nice big bloody brawl.
ReplyDeleteHey, now Cesaro makes SummerSlam
ReplyDeleteHow can they have a lumberjack match? WWE released JTG, Drew McIntyre, Jinder Mahal, Curt Hawkins, Brodus Clay, Camacho and Yoshi Tatsu.
ReplyDeleteThose guys were like professional lumberjacks and battle royal filler.
wouldn't that make it a carpenter match if he nailed it :-)
ReplyDeleteNail in the Coffin match. Same rules as a Casket Match...EXCEPT you have to nail it shut too!
ReplyDeleteUnless your Taker & HHH and you need to overshadow everyone else at WrestleMania
ReplyDelete[Cartman]
ReplyDeleteDude, that is FUCKIN' WEAK.
[/Cartman]
They're both talented enough to make it work. It's not like we're dealing with Diesel-Sid here.
ReplyDeleteSo that Rollins can't run away?
ReplyDeleteTHECORPORATEKANE
ReplyDeleteAmbrose should kayfabe want something like a Dog Collar Match.
ReplyDeleteCesaro, Fandango, The Brothers Dust, Rybaxel, RVD, Sheamus, Usos, the pissed off black guy stable that gets no TV time, Del Rio, Slater...all have nothing to do
ReplyDeleteDog collar match, chain match, strap match...one of those would've been groovy
ReplyDeleteHave you forgotten about Slater/Gator?
ReplyDelete...me too.
And/or axes.
ReplyDeleteLingerie Match
ReplyDeleteIs Heath a face or a heel? Why is Titus a gator?
ReplyDeletePlus Sandow dressed as a lumberjack
ReplyDeleteI guess they're heels. I assume Titus is Gator because he went to the University of Florida.
ReplyDeleteMan, the years haven't been kind to the cast of Quantum Leap.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know that was an established part of his persona.
ReplyDeleteBut Heath just had the babyface jobber win over Rollins on Raw. And stood up to Rusev a month ago. And did the babyface fluke eliminated Cesaro from the IC title battle royal at Battleground. Is situational face a new thing?
He's turning into his Master from the Dungeon of Doom.
ReplyDeleteOof. He's much more fit than King Curtis, to be fair.
ReplyDelete"Doc and DiBiase"???? Hacksaw Jim Duggan slaps you with his 2x4, good sir.
ReplyDeleteI agree. But that look is pretty close.
ReplyDeleteSullivan seems to have a good mind for the business whenever he's on a podcast or a shoot. Didn't always translate to his actual booking though.
I don't understand the tuxedo match stip. Is it because it's hard/constricting to fight in a tux?
ReplyDeleteLol what?
ReplyDeleteDoes he have an onion on his belt? Because that was the style at the time...
ReplyDeleteI understand because of THEDEMONKANE~ and HHH interfering and such, but doesn't wanting a Lumberjack match make no sense with Ambrose's character?
ReplyDeleteTOO SOON
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure it'll be a good match. I can't recall a good lumberjack match I've seen since ... well, ever.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'll say it -- Ambrose's ring work has been getting exposed lately. Shitty matches for the last few weeks, in my view. He often looks like he doesn't know how to fill the time between the big spots. Hence the live crowds, which WANT him to be a big deal, are dying out during the meat of the matches. He's got to step it up, and hopefully he will. Seth is awesome in the ring, so I'm hopeful this feud will help Dean find himself between the ropes.
i said it last night in the evening thread, but the stip needs to be that whoever masters titties 1st wins
ReplyDeleteThat's stupid. Ambrose is the type of character that, if he doesn't want someone to run away, he just breaks their legs with a baseball bat.
ReplyDeleteHHH: Hey guys, got the OK from Vince. He's letting you guys agree on the stipulation for your match at Summerslam.
ReplyDeleteRollins: Oh shit! Awesome! Thanks man.
Ambrose: Sweet!
(HHH leaves)
Ambrose: I'm thinking no DQ Falls Count Anywhere 2/3 falls! I can say I'm gonna murder you, bring your mangled corpse back to life and murder you again!
Rollins: Dude that is dark! Hey.... how bout a Hell in a Cell match? I can put you face down on the announce table and Curb Stomp you from the top of the Cell
Ambrose: Fuuuuuck that would be sick dude! Let's go with that.
(Kofi Kingston & Damien Sandow walk by)
Kofi: Hey guys! What you smiling about?
Ambrose: We got the big one baby! Hell in a Cell at Summerslam.
Rollings: Pay day city, here we come!
Sandow: Wow, congratulations guys. That's fantastic.
Kofi: Yeah man really happy for you guys.
Sandow: Come on Kof, let's leave these guys to plan out some awesome spots at the top of the card.
(Later that evening while they're sharing a room in the hotel)
Rollins: Psssst. Dean. You awake?
Ambrose: Wuuhh... what is it?
Rollins: Damien and Kofi, man. They seem kinda down to you earlier?
Ambrose: .... yeah, was on my mind actually.
Rollins: It sucks those guys can't get a spot at Summerslam dude.
Ambrose: Such pleasant and talented guys too.
Rollings: Wait... I got an idea. A way we can help Dean AND Kofi AND all the boys out.
Ambrose: What's that?
Rollins: Fuck Hell in a Cell dude. Let's have a Lumberjack match - that way all the boys get on TV, everybody gets paid, everyone loves us backstage, works out better for everyone in the long run.
Ambrose: Yeah, fuck it.
Rollins: Cool, I'll tell Hunter in the morning.
Ambrose: Sweet. Night dude.
Rollins: Night.
It's a Mid-South reference. See, Ted DiBiase and Jim Duggan were in a rivalry (not Steve Williams, despite Scott's slip-up). As part of the rivalry, DiBiase called Duggan ugly, which led to Duggan saying he could clean up better. They had Tuxedo Fashion showdown things, and Duggan won them by audience approval because of course he did. DiBiase hated this and attacked Duggan, sometimes with a loaded glove. This led to the tuxedo / coal miner's glove / cage / loser leaves Mid-South battle. Yes, it all made sense in context.
ReplyDeleteThe finish to that match will put a chill down your spine.
ReplyDeleteAh, I see. I knew it was a Mid-South thing and have seen the Deeb vs Duggan match but I've seen tuxedo matches elsewhere but always felt it was a lame gimmick (aside from the aforementioned match).
ReplyDeleteI'd like to hear his explanation before saying its stupid.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with saying it as I've felt the same. People keep on saying that Ambrose is the real future over Reigns because he's a better worker, which I'm sure he is, but I'm still waiting to be impressed.
ReplyDeleteHof post
ReplyDelete[Bathroom: RENEE walks out of shower]
ReplyDelete[BISCUIT passes out]
I prefer envisioning this with Dean and Seth in bunk beds.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is the proper stip wouldn't be PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
ReplyDeleteActually, given the context of the feud, it makes perfect sense.
ReplyDeleteI can't DISagree, but I think Falls Count Anywhere would make more sense.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but Rollins can always run away from a match like that, a bunch of guys surrounding the ring keeps things in the ring.
ReplyDeleteI went hunting for that match and couldn't find it on the Youtubes. Do you know if it is?
ReplyDeleteYou're clearly forgetting the classic Finkel - Wippleman affair.
ReplyDeleteOh BOY!
ReplyDeleteI don't get it.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure this won't be the first time Seth has been surrounded by 16 men on all sides..
ReplyDeleteAMIRITE?
HBK-Jim Duggan was a good lumberjack match on RAW.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think Ambrose would've demanded a "winner gets the MITB briefcase" match but nope, apparently lumberjacks it is?
ReplyDeleteAlso, the sad depressed demon Kane.
ReplyDeleteDailymotion is your friend.
ReplyDeleteThat's how I envisioned it.
ReplyDeleteAmbrose >>>>>> Reigns.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine they just wanted an excuse to get most of the roster on the show and they've been doing too many battle royals lately.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't anyone want Ambrose to ride down to the ring in a log raft and call himself "The Lumbertaker"?
ReplyDeleteAhem.
Otherwise, I wondered if just having a cage match keeps Rollins from running, but at the very least we won't see the last of this feud at SS.
Tell me Scott, for how much *could* I see this match, were it on the Network?
ReplyDeleteThe Lumbertaker sounds like a dirty movie I once saw.
ReplyDeleteSpoiler alert: there are no girls in it.
ok, NOW I'm laughing
ReplyDeleteDressed up as the Venture Brothers.
ReplyDeleteHold out and wait until they're giving you a gift card for shopzone to subscribe, then you can get the Network and the Best of MId South DVD that features that tuxedo match.
ReplyDeleteDo modern fans even know what a lumberjack match is? I can't remember the last time they did one on Raw/Smackdown/PPV.
ReplyDeleteThey really need to be stretching Rollins/Ambrose through to Hell in the Cell. That's one of only two match-up on the horizon that I see making sense in the Cell (the other being Brock/Cena).
They've seen Lumberjill matches, so I'd assume they could do the math.
ReplyDeleteHave they? Or were most in the restroom during those bouts?
ReplyDeleteThat's a wild assumption.
ReplyDeleteI staryed watching in 2006 and have seen a half dozen lumberjack matches.
ReplyDeleteI know they did one with the Nexus
I cannot recall one in the last 20 years... I guess they did some pre-show ones at WrestleManias that turned into battle royals?
ReplyDeleteI remember the WWE doing dumb shit like actually making the wrestlers dress like limberjacks
ReplyDelete[RON SIMMONS walks into room, takes one look, and proclaims "DAMN!"]
ReplyDeleteIf they did one similar to Eddie-Cena where it was basically a brawl in the parking lot, surrounded by guys.....then it would look a lot cooler.
ReplyDeleteI remember walking downtown and seeing a 99 cent store and across the street some guy made a 97 cent store.
ReplyDeleteI wish WCW would still be around if only to do some shit like that.
Oh, I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok. I sleep all night and I work all day . .
ReplyDeleteHis match with Del Rio on Monday was fine. It was slow in the first half but picked up after the commercial break. He also had a fine match last week on Main Event.
ReplyDeleteHere's a random thought: with all their "B A Star" anti-bullying and Make-a-Wish PR, I'm surprised the hyper-sensitive PR arm of WWE hasn't thought about not using the term "Handicap" to describe 2-on-1 or 3-on-2 matches.
ReplyDeleteA cage would make more sense, wouldn't it?
ReplyDeleteSo would falls count anywhere.
Best of Mid-South Blu Ray.
ReplyDeleteYou people don't deserve an explanation...
ReplyDeleteI don't know... don't they still call it a "handicap" in golf? I thought that was the reference.
ReplyDelete"Let's have everyone dressed as a burger! We'll call it a 'Jack-in-the-Box' match! Cross-promotion will rake in MILLIONS!"
ReplyDeleteJohn Cena Vs Ryback in the main event of Payback '13 was a 3 stages of hell match.
ReplyDeletePart 1 was a lumberjack match won by Ryback.
Reminds me of the one Simpsons episode where they're doing a parody of Tom Sawyer (or Huck Finn, whatever, and that's something I should remember seeing as how Mark Twain is a very distant relative) and the 99 cent store is the rich people's store.
ReplyDeleteOnly one I can even remember is the IYH2 main event. For a Kevin Nash/Sid match it's not as bad as you'd think, bu still not pretty good.
ReplyDeletetj:
ReplyDeletemade of win!
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2154461-fan-petitions-for-weird-al-yankovic-to-play-the-super-bowl-halftime-show
they did
ReplyDeleteand the answer
...was 9.99
Wouldn't a cage match make more sense?
ReplyDeleteI would have preferred an Inferno match but I guess this works too.
ReplyDeleteYou mean do a boring match with the worst guest ref job ever at WM.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone EVER said "you know what, I'm in the mood for a good ol' lumberjack match. We haven't had one of those in a while".
ReplyDeleteI have sir, I have.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to send Scott an email about "Best Matches with Shitty Stips"
ReplyDeleteLike best:
Lumberjack match
Handicap match
Pole match
Flag Match
Stretcher Match
I agree with you. But it did suck all the attention away from Punk vs Jericho for the WWE Title. So mission accomplished!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the disabled community frowns on the term. It comes from when the disabled would beg in the streets of London with a Cap in their Hand, thus HandiCap. And now you know....
ReplyDeleteMan. There have certainly been good handicap and flag matches, but I don't know if I've seen a good lumberjack or stretcher match. Maybe RVD-Orton?
ReplyDeleteYep. Was just about to say that.
ReplyDelete....and knowing is half the battle!
ReplyDeleteYeah, and bowling uses it too.
ReplyDeleteI thought Shawn-Batista was a good stretcher match.
ReplyDeleteThe only time a Lumberjack match works is when you have a good chicken shit heel that has pissed off everyone.
ReplyDeleteI could actually see it working well with Bo Dallas down the road.
Seeing as how I don't even remember Punk/Jericho, yeah, I guess it worked.
ReplyDeleteCena has killed the concept of Last Man Standing/Texas Death matches for me with his cartoonish ways of winning (i.e. tying a guy's legs up with cables).
ReplyDeleteThat would work better for him at Survivor Series, against the guys he's "bo-tivated". That ALWAYS works.
ReplyDeleteIt means disadvantaged which is what handicapped is. Don't give me that handicapable Different Strokes bullshit.
ReplyDeleteAlthough his LMS match against Umaga was QUITE good.
ReplyDeleteTotally disagree.
ReplyDeleteThat's not just Cena, Del Rio won one at RR13 when Ricardo duct taped Big Show to the ropes.
ReplyDeleteWell they have to...cause PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
ReplyDeleteIt put the crowd to sleep, man. Really dull stuff, especially when Dean would try to time his comebacks. It's an issue.
ReplyDeleteGI JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't seen that one. I should check it out tonight. What show is it on?
ReplyDeleteThere you go. I wonder what the new term would be.
ReplyDelete"Next up, the Authority has booked Dean Ambrose in a PHYSICALLY DISADVANTAGED MATCH! He'll have to face Seth Rollins... and the MONSTER Kane!"
RR 2007, I think.
ReplyDeleteThe one that made me laugh was the gimmick battle royal where the wrestlers dress up in football/hockey/whatever. Lanny Poffo wore a suit of armor.
ReplyDeleteIf that's the one where the ropes break and he chokes Umaga with them, it is pretty damn good.
ReplyDeleteI like all three Shield guys, but they ALL have strengths and weaknesses. Frankly, I think the one who has stepped up the most in his new role has been Rollins, even though Reigns is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's the one.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, I'm the last person on Earth that will never complain about someone not using PC language. PC language is fucking retarded.
ReplyDeleteRetarded is one of my favorite words and I basically can't say it any more. It just sounds hilarious to me for some reason.
ReplyDeleteDidn't he blade during that match? That was hilarious, BTW. The match, not the blading.
ReplyDeleteThat was in Memphis IIRC.
ReplyDeleteThey ran it all over the place. The faces wore jerseys of local squads and the heels wore the hated teams jerseys.
ReplyDeleteI meant Poffo with the armor.
ReplyDeleteIt is like the most homoerotic gimmick out there.
ReplyDeleteOh, I still say it. It's a very versatile word. Of course, I have no filter and will say just about anything outside of a few racial slurs, and even then I'll use those in certain contexts.
ReplyDelete"Porch monkey is a racial slur!"
"No it's not, nigger is!"
"What the FUCK?"
Yeah. Dailymotion is the new Youtube minus the ads, banners, and videos being pulled.
ReplyDeleteWhy bother? The NFL has constantly proven since 2011 (Black Eyed Peas) that it has no interest in booking a band that would appeal to male football fans. It's part of the reason why RHCP was shoehorned into this year's show because of concerns that not enough people knew who Bruno Mars was.
ReplyDeleteThis is why we don't see huge rock bands (AC/DC, Metallica) or huge country artists play the shows anymore. The NFL would rather draw in non-football fans with artists like Madonna or Beyonce in order to get even higher ratings.
I guess it makes sense, but it's a sin that AC/DC has never played the Super Bowl halftime show. 90% of stadiums use AC/DC's music to pump up crowds, so you'd think they would be a natural choice.
Steamboat-Muraco for lumberjack maybe?
ReplyDeletePoffo wore the armor in quite a few battle royals all over the place..
ReplyDeleteNormally it ends the same: the lumberjacks end up fighting each other.
ReplyDeleteThis could either be great or fail spectacularly along the lines of the Indiana Jones Stunt Show they had year ago.
ReplyDeleteThere's no middle ground here.
Cena still deserves credit fit the Umaga one though .
ReplyDeleteRumble 2007
ReplyDeletePunk and Orton had a lumberjack match on Raw back in 2008.
ReplyDeleteAs much as they suck and are a bunch of twats, I'm sure Metallica would draw better than The Black Eyed Peas or Bruno Mars, who I have never heard of until the Super Bowl.
ReplyDeleteIt didn't need to be HITC & most regard it as a ***** classic, big time ego stroking at its finest
ReplyDeleteIt's a sports reference in general. Problem is, we're often dealing with PC people who constantly complain about a word like "niggardly", which has no connection with the racial slur, just because it looks and sounds similar to it.
ReplyDeleteTrue story: I was in a situation once where a person asked me to refer to my wife as my "spouse" to avoid gender-specific language. I told her that my wife and I don't have problems with the words "wife" and "husband", so I'll continue to use them. Then I avoided speaking with that person ever again.
In all honesty shouldn't he want a ladder match for the MitB briefcase?
ReplyDeleteI know they've done them on Smackdown Raw relatively regularly.
ReplyDeleteon the "spin the wheel" stipulation shows. Teddy Long probably made one to stop a heel from running.
I don't rember ever seeing one on ppv
I wonder, has there ever been a steel cage ladder match? Sounds like something Russo would book. Or CZW.
ReplyDeleteShut your logic hole.
ReplyDeleteI've seen ladders get involved in Lethal Lockdown.
ReplyDeleteBut that's the thing -- the NFL is trying to draw people who might not normally watch football in order to charge more for advertising. I'd say that people who generally listen to Metallica already would be watching the Super Bowl, so there's not much of a gain.
ReplyDeleteBut people who listen to Madonna? A huge amount of them probably wouldn't normally watch the Super Bowl, so put her on there and you have a few more million eyeballs watching.
Frankly, I think the 2015 halftime show should belong to one group: Huey Lewis and the News, and the entire thing should be a celebration of Back to the Future.
I believe there was one of those matches where there were three cages stacked on top of each other and the cage on top had a pole or something equally stupid in it.
ReplyDeleteOh for the love of fucking god...I HOPE this means at NoC it'll be a MitB match or something else, and this is just the setup for it. Still, I love how narrow-sighted they are now so that they actively make sure only ONE match sells the show, when you always get more viewers with a fully stacked card. It's why I can't tolerate Wrestelemania VI anymore...the entire rest of the show is utter horseshit.
ReplyDeleteNot at all. Ambrose has no allies and Rollins is tight with The Authority. In the Evolution vs Shield feud, The Authority had all the midcard heels jump the Shield. Why would Ambrose choose to have a match where Kane and whoever else can help Rollins win?
ReplyDeleteYou should've told her to get back in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteTrust me, it was one of those situations that I was so dumbstruck that someone said that to me that I couldn't think of a witty thing to say. Then I just wanted to be as far away from her as possible.
ReplyDeleteBut does anyone even listen to Madonna anymore? I don't think anyone watches the game for the halftime show (though I'll admit that I was working for the one where The Who played, and punched out to watch it), non football fans are watching for the commercials, or just because everyone else they know is watching it.
ReplyDeleteI fully endorse your Huey Lewis idea though.
Most of the early WMs are like that. Hell, most PPVs in general were like that back when they only had 4 a year.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that how Arquette won the title?
ReplyDeleteThat idea wasn't even a Russo original.
ReplyDeleteWe could go back to the triple Decker Tower of Doom Uncensored 96 Hogan yawnfest.
I hate how "partner" is now the PC term, fuck that. That's your girlfriend or boyfriend, even if it's a same-sex couple. You don't have a partner unless you're in a tag team or co-own a law firm.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, the halftime show is usually the peak viewing of the entire game. Bruno Mars' halftime show this year had the highest # of viewers in Super Bowl history (115.3 million, the game itself averaged 111.5 million). The most expensive commercials are the ones directly before and directly after because of that.
ReplyDeleteAs for Madonna, as much as it pains me to say it, she still has legions of fans. They don't buy her new records, but she still fills stadiums. I'd say she has a large number of fans who would never watch a football game otherwise.
And they stole that from WCCW.
ReplyDeleteIf Prince played the halftime show for the next 5 years, I would have no problem with it whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S the one.
ReplyDeleteI don't even like Prince, but that was one hell of a show.
ReplyDeleteBecause Ambrose knows that Rollins will run away every chance he gets no matter the stipulation, so why not pick a match where multiple wrestlers are forced to keep the fighting in the ring.
ReplyDeleteBut now that you mention it, it wouldn't surprise me to see Ambrose get outsmarted by the Authority and have guys like Orton, Kane, and a bunch of others that are tight with the Authority to put the match in Rollins' favor.
My dad owns a business and for years he'd refer to the co-owner as his "partner." Nobody thought anything other than "business partner" until the late 1990s or so. Then he had to start saying "business partner" or people assumed he was gay. I blame Will & Grace.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, my lesbian cousin refers to her wife as... surprise, surprise... her wife.
that's why a strap match would've been cool. can't run very far when you're linked to the other guy.
ReplyDeleteBTW, anyone who watches ANYTHING for the commercials is a fucking moron. The constant advertising and the whole consumer-driven culture of this country is NOT a good thing.
ReplyDeleteSuch a bizarre waste of space.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind strap/chain/dog collar/bullrope matches if their pinfall wins and not that touch all 4 corners bullshit.
ReplyDeleteAlways seemed unsafe to me too, that triple cage comes down and it's probably killing a few people in the crowd.
ReplyDeleteBut will it take place on October 21st?
ReplyDeleteWhat was the OTHER half?
ReplyDeleteWinners don't do dru... no, can't even type that with a straight face.
ReplyDeleteA limberjack would be a dude with an axe in a wool hat, flannel shirt, yoga pants and 1980s legwarmers. Instead of beating guys up when they leave/are thrown out of the ring, they just stretch in front of them while the other guy awkwardly backs away.
ReplyDeleteI remember them doing some with the female wrestlers, but can't remember anything specific about them.
ReplyDeleteThis is their way of getting everyone on the PPV, which is the a Wrestlemania standard every year and maybe now it's leaking over to SummerSlam.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is married to another chick, I always refer to her as my mom's wife.
ReplyDeleteIf think there's something wrong with Will & Grace, there's not something wrong you you, there's something wrong with Will! He's a homosexual.
And BTW, not liking that show doesn't mean your a homophobe, it means you like sitcoms that are actually funny.
That laundry ain't going to do itself.
ReplyDeleteThere is a reason.
ReplyDeleteRollins was the guy holding the Shield together, and without him Reigns and Ambrose would've killed each other a long time ago, with Rollins gone they don't have that controlling influence.
Basically Rollins is right and Dean is a giant loser.
Punk/Jericho was overshadowed by their Extreme Rules match.
ReplyDeleteYeah, and I couldn't see the crowds getting into it - they can't see the action on top of the cage, guys need a reason to fight up there.....it's just wasted.
ReplyDeleteThe WCW.....thing of 2000 was a cluster.
No, but unfortunately, this society needs to consume to survive, and commercials encourage people to do as such.
ReplyDelete"Disadvantage" is offensive- it implies that having no legs or something is somehow a disadvantage- they're just DIFFERENTLY ABLED, you bigot.
ReplyDeletewhat's the problem with a Last Man Standing match? those usually end up being good.
ReplyDelete(for example, wasn't the only Triple H/Orton match that is worth watching their LMS one?)
It depends on how much you like to watch referees stand around counting. I hate the stipulation.
ReplyDeleteWhy not just do a Falls Count Anywhere match? I mean...why you so fancy?
ReplyDelete
