I'm more tired of having nearly every heel blame "You, the fans" for why they do _____.


for fucks sake, Randy Orton has beaten Cesaro 3 times in the last 6 weeks!! Stop jobbing out your goddamn secondary champions!!

my favorite manager of all time. wish he had been Taker's Wrestlemania manager all these years instead of just sporadically.

RIP

something's up with Ziggler

3/6/2013 9:46:09 PM

?

3/7/2013 7:49:36 AM

and the VP of Aces & Eights is....... D'Lo Brown.

3/7/2013 8:50:58 PM

Yeah how do you go from beating the immortal John cena to losing to the Miz. Something doesn't add up here

Ziggler is the best bumper on the roster and can even make Miz look good.

3/8/2013 9:43:36 PM

Lockdown Sunday:

*Jeff Hardy vs. Bully Ray for the TNA title in a cage match
*Sting & Samoa Joe & Magnus & James Storm & Eric Young vs Devon & Ken Anderson & Garett Bischoff & Doc & Knox in a Lethal Lockdown cage match (War Games pretty much)
*Kurt Angle vs Wes Brisco in a cage mach
*Bobby Roode & Austin Aries vs. Christopher Daniels & Kazarian vs. Hernandez & Chavo Guerrero Jr. for the tag titles
*Velvet Sky vs. Gail Kim for the Knockouts title
*Kenny King vs. Zema Ion vs. Christian York for the X title
*Joe Park vs. Joey Ryan
*Rob Terry vs. Robbie E

3/8/2013 10:07:27 PM

Ray wins the title from Hardy and is the leader of Aces and Eights.

Best match on the show apparently was Kurt Angle and Wes Brisco. Angle made the youngster look good.

Kudos to everyone involved for doing the right thing for the Punk/Taker match in regards to Bearer. Ol' PP3 is smiling down from his cloud.

Went to Smackdown TV tapings tonight. New match for Wrestlemania: the Shield vs. Orton/Sheamus/Ryback.

Good main event between Jericho and Swagger.

Most fun match on the show was from the tapings for Saturday Morning Slam. They had R-Truth vs. Antonio Cesaro. Saturday Morning Slam is their kid-friendly show, so they work a little different like doing no shots to the head or anything. There's also some kid-level humor. Cesaro is awesome at playing the heel and playing to that level of comedy. I'm not saying it was a technical masterpiece or anything, but I loved this match. Go find it somewhere after it airs.

I also saw Ted Dibiase wrestle! He won the dark match.

There's a Saturday Morning Slam match between Tyson Kidd and Daniel Bryan that totally rules. Best spot is when Bryan forms himself into a ball; Kidd rolls him all around the ring but can't pin him because his shoulders never touch at the same time when he's in the ball. There also an airplane spin that lasts almost a minute.

from the March 8th Smackdown, watch Kaitlyn botch badly starting at 0:35 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JRT5fuycNM

It's not like the women have ever been technical masters or anything, but their divas REALLY suck at the moment.

3/14/2013 8:39:16 AM

so much win :



Show was in outer Chicago last night. Looked so much bigger and better than the Impact Zone.

3/15/2013 12:31:18 PM

Daniels and Kaz are fucking fantastic

3/15/2013 12:38:28 PM

Ziggles beat Kane on Friday (Tuesday). So there's that.

3/17/2013 4:52:21 PM

Some great creative work there. Have CM Punk lose to Kane then Kane lose to Ziggler.

[Edited on March 17, 2013 at 5:29 PM. Reason : S]

3/17/2013 5:28:46 PM

^ Monday was clearly an isolated Paul Bearer tribute show for why Kane won.

Tuesday, they're setting up a Kane/Bryan-Ziggler/Big E Langston tag title match. (Ziggler pinned Bryan on Raw last Monday.)

3/17/2013 9:26:25 PM

Mysterio is out injured. WWE's official word is he'll be back in June. Privately, they're trying to negotiate a release of him thinking with his injuries occurring so often he can't wrestle full-time anymore, but where they get to keep his merchandising rights because he sells a lot of merchandise for them (probably also a deal where he can't wrestle for TNA/CMLL/AAA). They're also a bit scared because he's their #1 Mexican star, they've given up on Sin Cara, and del Rio has not gotten over like they hoped.

Mysterio has seen Dr. James Andrews and Andrews told him he didn't need surgery and has given him a splint to walk around with.

3/17/2013 10:11:07 PM

well my power went out from 9 to midnight last night so i missed Raw in it's entirety. Reading the recaps it sounded like a pretty terrible show other than a couple bright spots. I wasn't quite clear, is it Big E/Ziggler vs. Team Hell No for the Tag Team titles? And did they officially announce Ryback/Henry?

3/19/2013 8:18:27 AM

Yes and yes. Also The Big Show is taking Rybacks spot vs The Shield and Triple H's career is on the line for his match.

"We noted before that one of the women who attended a recent Divas camp at WWE developmental was named Jenn Sterger, an actress and TV host with modeling experience. Sterger was in the news back in 2010 when reports came out that NFL quarterback Brett Favre was alleged to have sent her explicit text messages and voicemails asking her to come to his hotel rooms. Favre also allegedly sent Sterger nude photos of himself."

3/20/2013 8:06:51 AM

well her career has pretty much tanked, WWE Diva is the next likely step

3/20/2013 9:04:36 AM

^^^ is it his wrestling career, or his "career" career, ie Mr. McMahon 2.0? if the latter, yeah, that's a lock for an Haich win. but if it's his wrestling career, consider he wrestles about as frequently as Taker nowadays, I wouldn't be so sure. they've jobbed Lesnar over pretty badly in his appearances this contract year (that Cena match, ugh), if they want him to look credible in the next year of his extended contract, he needs to do something big

3/20/2013 12:44:36 PM

I assumed it meant in-ring career. I figure Haitch is ready to be done, but I'm not sure he's ready for Brock to be the one to end him.

3/20/2013 1:20:31 PM

how many losers of "career ending" matches actually retired?

3/20/2013 2:40:31 PM

they won't let HHH job out to Brock Lesnar. HHH will win and avenge the McMahon family. This will vault Lesnar into a wrecking ball heel run leaving a wake up destruction in his path leading up to a Cena/Lesnar match next year.

3/20/2013 3:50:45 PM

I believe they're going for Rock/Lesnar for WM 30, but I could see Punk/Lesnar thrown in between, perhaps Summerslam?

3/20/2013 3:56:31 PM

at some point Lesnar's turning face, I can't imagine Punk turning face anytime soon as he's not going to get ranked above Cena, so yeah sure, I'd go closer to Wrestlemania next year to keep it more fresh in people's minds, maybe Survivor Series

Watching Impact tonight. Tonight's show was taped last week when they were in Chicago. But interspersed in the middle are a bunch of Bully Ray promos pretty much explaining his master plan over the last 9 months, otherwise known as "let's make sense of all these unexplained plot holes and sew them up". Pretty good, worth a watch.

If anyone thinks Brock is actually going to be scripted by Hunter to beat Hunter at Wrestlemania, in a rematch from Summerslam last year where Brock won and "broke Hunter's arm", even though it'd be the right thing for business if Brock is headlining Wrestlemania next year as is tentatively scheduled right now, I'll bet you $20 on it.

the Japanese Wrestlemania, from the Tokyo Dome in January, the sound cuts out between matches I think to allow it to catch up for the uploader, Japanese language commentary, fun show, all the matches are different

I highlight the people you may know both from wrestling and MMA:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xxkmne_njpw-wrestle-kingdom-7-2013-1-4-part-1_sport

-a couple pre-show dark matches, in the first match here is Tama Tonga, a guy that if he were in the U.S. would need be the next Jimmy Superfly Snuka, and "Captain New Japan", a comedy Captain America ripoff; the second match has Jushin Liger, a legend that once wrestled in WCW

-show starts at 31 minutes in

1. Strongman (an American indy worker with so much steroids in him he makes Ryback look clean, a walking heartattack waiting to happen), Akebono (Hawaiian former yokozuna in sumo), MVP (former WWE midcarder), & Manabu Nakanishi vs. Takashi Iizuka, Bob Sapp (a super huge MMA superstar in Pride about 8 years ago), Toru Yano, & Yujiro Takahashi (note: worst match on the card)

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xxknqg_njpw-wrestle-kingdom-7-2013-1-4-part-2_sport

2. Masato Tanaka (former ECW champion, the real ECW, not the faux WWE version) vs. Shelton Benjamin (longtime WWE midcarder, now wrestles in ROH, may be getting back into WWE pretty soon)

3. IWGP Tag Team Championship: Davey Boy Smith Jr. (yes, Davey Boy's son, David Hart Smith in WWE) & Lance Archer (Lance Hoyt in TNA, blink-and-you'd-miss-him Vance Archer in WWE) vs. Hirooki Goto & Karl "Machine Gun" Anderson (American worker that's wrestled in Japan for awhile, was longtime tag team partners with Albert before he came back to the U.S. to wrestle in WWE as Tensai, Anderson will be wrestling at the pre-Wrestlemania ROH show in 2 weeks)

4. Minoru Suzuki vs. Yuji Nagata (Nagata long ago was in WCW, he's been KO'd in MMA matches by Mirko Cro Cop and Fedor)

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xxko1w_njpw-wrestle-kingdom-7-2013-1-4-part-3_sport

5. IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship: Prince Devitt (Irishman that's wrestled in Japan forever and may be best technical wrestler in the world right now) vs. Kota Ibushi vs. Low-Ki (American indy guy, Kaval in WWE, Senshi in TNA, in this match he wears a ridiculous outfit where he cosplays in a suit as I assume "Hitman" from the Hitman video games)

--Intermission--

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xxkohm_njpw-wrestle-kingdom-7-2013-1-4-part-4_sport

6. Satoshi Kojima & Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs. Keiji Muto (the Great Muta in WCW) & Shinjiro Otani

7. Togi Makabe vs. Katsuyori Shibata

8. IWGP Intercontinental Championship: Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Kazushi Sakuraba (MMA superstar in Pride returning to his pro wrestling roots)

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xxkoyb_njpw-wrestle-kingdom-7-2013-1-4-part-5_sport

9. IWGP Heavyweight Championship: Hiroshi Tanahashi (arguably best wrestler in the world at the moment) vs. Kazuchika Okada

I can't believe I'm going to sit through this four hour shitshow just to see Punk/Taker.

last night's Raw was painful. i was in FF mode through almost all of it.

3/26/2013 8:23:21 AM

watching a 3 hour raw is consistently taking about 50% of the time watching a 2 hour raw used to. Thanks, shitty booking/writing and DVR!

^^one upside to how shitty WM is gonna be is that we won't need to worry about paying any attention to the matches and can dedicate all efforts to snark.

3/26/2013 8:32:40 AM

BTW, epic commentary from last night regarding Del Rio:

Cole: Only 30% of WWE and World Heavyweight Champions have retained their titles at Wrestlemania.

Lawler: This is different! This is Wrestlemania!

3/26/2013 11:00:46 AM

at least Swagger will get to hold his title for longer than 18 seconds before Ziggler cashes in.

3/26/2013 11:21:04 AM

so since they can recreate dead people with holograms nowadays, I'm hoping the ghostly hologram of Paul Bearer shows up at WM to scare the shit out of Punk so Taker wins. Now THAT'S WRASSLIN

other than that, yes, the card is shaping up to be a shitshow of WM9 proportions
