Howdy Blog O'Doomers!
Been a hell of a weekend and a hell of a day. I swear it feels like my phone doesn't stop ringing for a three-hour span on Monday and naturally while answering calls and metaphorically putting out fires I don't get any of my stuff done.
Anyway we're approaching the dog days of the wrestling calendar as once Brock dispatches of Cena we'll go through a 3-4 month period of universal disinterest until the Royal Rumble wakes us up. Usually the Big Show is headlining cards during this dead period and thankfully that doesn't appear to be changing in 2014.
Tonight of TV:
RAW
Monday Night Football Doubleheader
Men's U.S. Open Final is on but not very competitive
Steve Buscemi is hosting an FDNY documentary on HBO.
There's other stuff too I'm sure.
Keep it clean folks!

ReplyDeleteIt would make sense for Brock to dispatch Cena...but as you know, the WWE could just as easily fall back upon LOLCENAWINS
ReplyDeleteI'll allow it if Seth cashes in right afterwards.
ReplyDeleteHow does taking Ray Rice's ability to support his family help anyone?
ReplyDeleteHe'll just have to find another job. Lots of people lose their jobs daily and no one gives a shit about them or their families or their bills.
ReplyDeleteSo...really..fuck him and his stupid ass wife.
Stupid ass wife?
ReplyDeleteLots of people don't have their issues publicized throughout the world either.
ReplyDeleteFor putting up and going along with the charade.
ReplyDeleteSo this will be the last Monday till early October that I can see a Raw live. And although I haven't considered the last few shows as horrible as most it's definitely been lackluster at best so I'm fine with only being able to watch Main Event and NXT for now. And the PPVs of course since I've committed to the Network.
ReplyDeleteShe married him shortly after he went Mike Tyson on her. Yes fuck her.
ReplyDeleteDid she press charges?
ReplyDeleteIf not, then it's a domestic issue.
I'm fine with the Rice move, nuts that it took a video to make things really happen though
ReplyDeleteNo one forced him to be a professional athlete. Part of the job.
ReplyDeleteDidn't she attack him first?
ReplyDeleteI don't think one has to do with the other, really.
ReplyDeleteAnd?
ReplyDeleteWould TMZ release video of what you're doing in an elevator?
ReplyDeleteHoly crap.
ReplyDeleteSelf defense is a crime?
ReplyDeleteRaw sounds fucking terrible tonight so I think I'm just going to put some extra hours in at work.
ReplyDeleteWell, it depends on what I was doing, I guess. To be serious, though, as Princess said, it goes with the territory.
ReplyDeleteWhat's he defending himself from exactly? A woman he supposedly loved. He wasn't defending himself. He knocked the fuck out.
ReplyDeleteEh, going to hang with the Giants till they're down 20 then check out how off the rails Under the Dome's gotten...I'm trying to stay Raw-less til Ambrose is back at the earliest
ReplyDeletePunching a woman in the face twice and knocking her out cold is not self defense.
ReplyDeleteBut...but...Jerry Springer, man. Jerry Springer!
ReplyDeleteOfficial Ratings Prediction Thread
ReplyDeleteSo, carrying over from yesterday's thread, Raw is going to get obliterated tonight by football. So what do you think the final rating will be? We're looking for three digits here, everyone.
I'll kick it off by saying 2.32. Because I'm feeling particularly outlandish.
Christ, forgot that was tonight, maybe I'll piss on my TV to make sure I don't flip over to it by mistake
ReplyDelete2.51. I'll be optimistic.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, it wasn't about punishing Rice, it was about the NFL saving face.
ReplyDeleteWhich the victim forgave. What other person's business is it?
ReplyDeleteEh, NFL office is a bunch of jagoffs. IF they could have gotten away with it before they would have, but the sheep of the world needed the video.
ReplyDeleteYou cannot possibly be this dense...
ReplyDeleteLeading into RAW, it's Random Little Cared Sports Threadjack time!
ReplyDelete- http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/wp/2014/09/03/jurgen-klinsmanns-2018-fifa-world-cup-goal-is-to-get-team-usa-to-the-semifinals/
Quite the optimist, Jurgen is.
- Euro 2016 qualifiers are underway, Spain and Russia look great against the minnows, England looks good against Switzerland, and San Marino, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein are relevant. At least as practice for the real teams. Oh, and there's Gibraltar: http://deadspin.com/gibraltar-xis-occupations-today-against-poland-pic-t-1631687717
- Anyone give a shit about the PGA "playoffs"? No? Good, neither do I. Majors, Ryder Cup, or fuck off.
- Anyone give a shit about the NASCAR "playoffs"? No? Good.
Don't athletes generally make more in one game than most people make in a lifetime?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure his family will be just fine.
What's the actual number been hovering at? 3-ish? I doubt it dips much below 2.7 as I don't really trust the Neilsen accuracy
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't the WWE just drive the DX tank to the MNF game? Hey, it worked before.
ReplyDeleteNdamukong Suk might stomp X-Pac's face into the ground?
ReplyDeleteI wrote about why I can't bring myself to care about England in the multi sport thread over on the forum. I can't be bothered to type it all out again, but it's there if you want to read it.
ReplyDeleteChris Berman isn't doing either of the games is he?
ReplyDeleteThey could send Brock and Heyman to go all Bane in Dark Knight Rises.
ReplyDeleteAlways thought it would have been funny if Eric called their bluff and let them in. DX awkwardly talking in the back with their friends, people grumbling but not really doing anything, corporate types nervously looking on from the shadows
ReplyDeletethere was no reason NOT to let them in. Bischoff messed up on that one.
ReplyDeleteNot sure, Gruden's team's on the first game so he can verbally blow every QB he sees
ReplyDeleteI'm staying even later.
ReplyDeleteHe went WAY beyond self-defense and you know it. Seriously, you can't justify attacking someone after they've been neutralized.
ReplyDeleteI didn't really watch last week, and my grandmother in law is staying with us for a couple of days so won't likely watch this week either.
ReplyDeleteIf the Bella thing keeps up then I may just return to hiatus. There is no excuse for Bellas.
That would end the NFL!
ReplyDeleteIf I hit Princess in the face, she has the justifiable right to send me to the slammer for a very long time.
ReplyDeleteIf she chooses not to, what right do you, a person unaffected by my actions, have to punish me?
Back back back back back back back back back back back..... Gone!
ReplyDeleteOh wait, the HR Derby is over.
The NFL *is* affected by his actions. They are his employer. They have every right to shitcan him.
ReplyDeleteDevil's advocating? Or just ignoring the responsibility of those in the public eye to act the least bit humane to maintain their chosen one lifestyles?
ReplyDeleteHow rough is it to follow the Live Thread tonight? My Ipad generally screws up like 4 times during it!
ReplyDeleteFannnnnnnntastic coverage there
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched Raw in two weeks. But there's no Yankees game on and I'm about three weeks away from killing cable totally. Might as well join in tonight.
ReplyDeleteAnd my original question: how does this help the NFL, or the victim?
ReplyDeleteHe's doing the late game, thereby making it un-watchable.
ReplyDeleteThe Nascar playoff system sucks.
ReplyDeleteFUCK YEAH!! MON NIGHT!!!! BoD!!! RAW!!! FUCKING JUNK FOOD SPECTACULAR FOR HOSS!!! WHICH MEANS THAT FOR DINNER, I'M HAVING...
ReplyDelete...a salad.
and I mean romaine lettuce, fat free italian dressing, grape tomatoes, and just a bit of cheese.
Fuck.
#toofuckingfat
PS - I stop stop at DQ on my way home from work. Tell no one.
2.63
ReplyDeleteI'll never tell anybody.
ReplyDelete#teamsalad
ReplyDeleteYou can still shake down Abeyance though correct?
ReplyDeleteAbey doesn't get shook down much, and will usually get at least one pass, cause I likes him.
ReplyDelete#HossStraight
Ugh.
ReplyDeleteYou see the GP yesterday?
The NFL is doing damage control. They pretty much had to fire the employee.
ReplyDeleteThe victim? From the looks of it, she doesn't want help right now. Lead a horse to water and all that.
I give you my word as a Spaniard.
ReplyDeleteIs Reigns/Orton the main event? I think I'd take a Bella interview over that......just playing
ReplyDeleteFrigging Coughlin is loyal to a fault. Have had the lousiest secondary for years but won't do a damn thing with their ancient secondary coach
ReplyDeleteMaybe it will lead to a decent match or at least some plot development. But probably not. My hopes of Randy turning face again are pretty meh.
ReplyDeleteMegatron with a 67 yard td. I'm going against him :*(
ReplyDeleteHe might break the yardage record tonight
ReplyDeletePre-Show Discussion Topic
ReplyDeleteGene Simmons made headlines by declaring that rock music is dead. But what songs/artists from today prove him wrong?
It's a tough fade.
ReplyDeleteThe way the Giants D is set up....
ReplyDeleteGoddammit...it really irritates me that they replaced the music Steamboat used, particularly at WM3.
ReplyDelete#CheapFuckers
#toomanyfuckinghashtags
Well first of all, I don't think Gene Simmons is the first one that should be making that comment.
ReplyDeleteKeystone cops, there will be a play or two tonight where they just stand and point at each other because they have no clue who should be where
ReplyDeleteIf this show starts with AJ and a guy with a CM Punk mask walking into an elevator.....
ReplyDeleteThey should've made a deal for that song.
ReplyDeleteOf course there's no excusing his actions. But the only person directly affected by it wants to let it go. This isn't like Michael Vick abusing dogs that have no say in the matter.
ReplyDeleteHis life should be in her hands. Nobody else's.
Too bad Fandango and Summer broke up...
ReplyDeleteHe may be a duechelord, but he has sold millions of rock albums, and he's right.
ReplyDeleteSirius, right??
ReplyDeleteRAW is in Baltimore tonight. Does Sandow wear a Rice jersey?
ReplyDelete#BecauseVinceFindsItFunny
ReplyDeleteNo, because investors would likely shit a brick. #publiccompany
ReplyDeleteIf you're arrested, you usually get fired. A lot of places don't want anything to do with you. The rules should apply to him, too.
ReplyDeleteOn the plus side, Giants are going to end up saving a lot of money on JPP
ReplyDeleteMeh, if the stock moved on storylines, the company would be worth zero Kelvin right now.
ReplyDeleteI have a Module (A short answer paper, a short quiz, a short blog entry, and a small paper) due tomorrow for one of my Health Care classes. I think I'm just going to do it all tomorrow after I get back from the gym at 7 am.
ReplyDeleteI'm just debating if I should just do it all tonight during RAW and be done with it.
Wow you're such a negative person.
ReplyDeleteWe're not talking about storylines. We're talking about a random incident that would legitimately piss people off. Notice again that they put the angry black faction on the back burner after Ferguson.
ReplyDeleteGet it done with. (recovering procrastination junky)
ReplyDeleteNo he's mizdow
ReplyDeleteYeah. And the Hassad Angle died quick too.
ReplyDeleteBut!
ReplyDeleteWow, this was such a negative post.
ReplyDeleteAnd those two are instances where the angle began or was filmed ahead of time. This? They wouldn't dare.
ReplyDeleteDude toured with def leopard this summer. No wonder he thinks that.
ReplyDeleteWow, this was such a negative reply to his negative post.
ReplyDeleteWay to be negative nancy.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice
ReplyDeleteAfter the London bombing? It kinda did.
ReplyDeleteAlex Riley is a baller.
ReplyDeleteIs anyone getting Destiny? I ended up with a copy and am...poor at maintaining online relationships but am kinda curious to check this thing out.
ReplyDeleteWow you're such a waste of oxygen. One step forward, ten steps back.
ReplyDeleteMinus five stars.
ReplyDeleteRaw: Don't care, there's football and Nats vs Braves.
ReplyDelete(I'll still watch and complain about it anyway.)
Now THAT's negative.
ReplyDeleteYup. 360. Won't get on till tomorrow evening.
ReplyDeleteCousins played the beta, they liked but weren't wowed, ending up cancelling their pre-order
ReplyDeleteFuck no. Generic FPS 905390532 holds no interest for me.
ReplyDeleteQueen?
ReplyDelete3/4 of my staff are all about picking that up tomorrow. Unfortunately, it's primary night in New York and they all have to work. Pobrecitos.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of wasting oxygen! Hello kbjsone!
ReplyDeleteSo according to last night's Total Divas and the preview video they showed for the new season: Rosa Mendes is a nudist, Eva Marie wants her husband to change religions for a day to get married in a Catholic church, Natalya vs. Summer Rae Part II: Freeway Boogaloo, Nikki probably looked like a heroin junkie when Cena found her egg freezing drugs, the Funkadactyls want to break up for some odd reason, Brie watched something get inserted into her sisters muff and kept staring, Daniel Bryan and Brie have become poor and Nikki wants them to borrow money from her and Cena...
ReplyDeleteAren't you the guy that defended Ray Rice?
ReplyDeleteAWESOME coverage
ReplyDeleteWhat little inside knowledge of that show tells me that I guess there was a HUGE fucking blow up between the EP of that show and the folks at WWE to the point where they barely talk now.
ReplyDeleteBetting Johnson gets more catches than Giants first downs tonight
ReplyDeleteI just want to see Fandango run the D.E.N.N.I.S. System on someone already.
ReplyDeleteNo. Ray Rice should go to jail if his wife wishes him to.
ReplyDeleteIf anything, I am defending his wife.
What is worse:
ReplyDeletePrincess' thoughts on domestic violence or the Giants secondary?
You know, the last time Jerry was on Raw, didn't they say one of the twins was male? Please don't revisit that.
ReplyDeleteIt would end the fall season Monday Night Wars. Victory would be theirs! Long live WWE.
ReplyDeleteMike Ditka focused right on Rice "destroying his earning power".
ReplyDeleteVINTAGE DITKA
Giants secondary, even a battered woman might hit back now and then
ReplyDeleteDitka is an awesome heel
ReplyDeleteAny man who has TWO Billy Joes playing quarterback is no good.
ReplyDeleteToo busy with Resident Evil 4, Final Fantasy X, and the Mega Man games.
ReplyDeletePositive about Rosa Mendes: she'll do anything for the business.
ReplyDeleteNegative: she's a bad wrestler by WWE standards.
Damn memory, Tolliver and???
ReplyDeleteHobert.
ReplyDeleteAhh, thanks
ReplyDeleteTolliver and Hobert.
ReplyDelete/very sad Who Dat after yesterday
I'm watching the game on my fiancee's laptop. What a country!
ReplyDeleteYep. Rosberg had it until he missed that first chicane.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking, "Oh, is he gonna take hell for that one," when I heard him say it.
ReplyDeleteLast week - it can't be as bad as last week! This week - it CAN'T be as bad as last week...?
ReplyDeleteWhen he got fired, they made him do a perp walk out. Who Dat Who Dat
ReplyDeleteOrton/Reigns and Jericho/Wyatt ought to at least be good, long matches. That's a step up. And hopefully the Bella garbage will be one segment.
ReplyDeleteWell, eventually we'll be correct,
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm on Nino Kuni and Madden still so that's another concern that i'll get into it after everyone else is like level 4003
ReplyDeleteDid anyone watch 'Utopia' last night? I just caught the scene of the redneck and the black dude having an argument. Who could have seen that coming?
ReplyDeleteI just figured FOX already cancelled it.
ReplyDeleteThe Giants secondary is doing more to boost the Raw ratings tonight than the writing staff ever could
ReplyDeleteWe will just work under that assumption
ReplyDeleteNot if you...oh, never mind.
ReplyDeleteIs the game on already? Why the early kickoff?
ReplyDeleteBlack Keys, Bob Mould (middle aged, but rocking hard), Arcade Fire
ReplyDeleteI kinda feel bad for OC McAdoo. This whole team's going down in flames
ReplyDeletePresumably, the black guy was dancing, and the redneck had a slop bucket.
ReplyDeleteTwo games tonight.
ReplyDeleteOpening monday double header
ReplyDeleteThere's 2 games tonight, other one starts at 10:30.
ReplyDeleteWWE is producing this? Now it all makes sense.
ReplyDeleteDoubleheader tonight for the 1st week - 7 and 10:15
ReplyDeleteNah. I'm just applying WWE canon to the rest of TV. Because why not?
ReplyDeleteI said this the last time it came up, he was probably unaware it was even happening. At the time I heard that the "invasion" was very small and brief
ReplyDeletewhat's the second game? Chargers and someone right? Don't see myself staying up past 11
ReplyDeleteAZ.
ReplyDeleteI know but if I told you they did, you would totally believe it.
ReplyDeleteChargers and ARizona, and I need Fitzy and Palmer to get me some POINTS
ReplyDeleteWell, yes.
ReplyDeletehttp://sports.yahoo.com/news/culture-of-blaming-the-victim-is-root-cause-of-failure-for-nfl--ravens-in-ray-rice-case-220237076.html
ReplyDeleteYou're incredibly stupid
I'll pass on this one.
ReplyDeleteThe black dust stuff they have in modern artificial turf fields always freaks me out.
ReplyDelete#EastCoatBias
ReplyDeleteI'm here. Second row. Look for Whoopi Goldberg's head and an extremely confused stepsister. Dude to my left won't shut up, is throwing a rubber chicken around sexually harrasing Layla
ReplyDeleteagreed. And I'm not even watching the game.
ReplyDelete#dirtysouthraised
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming that's Vinson.
ReplyDeleteThe Texans turf has already claimed the career of their 1st round pick.
ReplyDeleteCareer? He hasn't even been ruled out for the season. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
ReplyDeleteCAREER.
ReplyDelete#JustLIkeKijanaCarter
Would anyone be really offended if Ray Rice guest hosted Raw? And are we pretending the Michael Sam stuff never happened?
ReplyDeleteYeah. Good result for the championship though, Hamilton probably would have started to crumble pscycologically if he hadn't got a win this weekend. Also, Ricciardo on Vettel might have been the pass of the season.
ReplyDeleteOnly if he smacks another bitch. And even then, it depends on which bitch.
ReplyDeleteYes.
There is zero upside to something like that.
ReplyDeleteHe never could stay healthy. they saying 6 weeks but they will pressure him to be back in 3 which will just make it worse
ReplyDeleteHe needs to give us HIS side of the story! That's what Michael Cole said, anyway.
ReplyDeleteRay Rice should have just Jay Z'd that shit and just took it.
ReplyDeleteHe'd be a hero in the media.
Hoss approves.
ReplyDeleteOr says it sucks.
Pick one. I ain't reading it.
:-)
Jerry Springer and the Bellas having a dedicated segment says otherwise.
ReplyDeleteSuper Cereal
ReplyDeleteSteph comes out, goes on a 10 minute rant about the NFL and beating women that bores the audience to tears.
ReplyDeleteAnd then the Dudleys put her through a table. #Bookingisfun
They'd have to move a dump truck full of money to my front door to get me to review Raw.
ReplyDeleteAnd I say that as someone who's paid to review Bachelor In Paradise.
Ricciardo is my early pick for the 2015 champ.
ReplyDeleteOr she'll compare the persecution of Ray Rice to 9/11.
ReplyDelete:: starts looking around for a dumptruck and an assload of pennies ::
ReplyDeleteSteph somehow implies Daniel Bryan beats up Brie, because they haven't done enough to make him look like a loser or a jerk in his absence.
ReplyDeleteWasn't really what I was asking but I feel ya
ReplyDeleteIt might be a bit early to say career, but turf still mostly sucks. They should probably try and restrict it unless it's somewhere where grass just can't be maintained like Buffalo or New England.
ReplyDeleteOh, god. Please. PLEASE. PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN.
ReplyDeleteIf it does, i will never eat ice cream again.
#BargainingWithTheAlmighty
What's worse is, they probably got this idea two hours ago and are still rewriting the show, as we speak.
ReplyDeleteVery good stuff.
ReplyDeleteOr that it was not Ray Rice in the video, but actually Brie Bella. #GrowingUpBella
ReplyDeleteAlso, there are forums here?
ReplyDeleteYeah, but the Bachelor shows aren't 3 hours with an overrun.
ReplyDeleteBellicheck said a while back that the Texans have the worst turf in the league. Not sure why they would go cheap on something like that.
ReplyDelete
