Royal Rumble Predictions and Shenanigans from you favourite Wrestling Bloggers
Welcome back!!! Well because all four of us are here this week, we are keeping the introduction short. Don’t forget to check out our Royal Rumble predictions at the end of our blogs. Enjoy and so great to be back writing.
***the views and opinions expressed in “Boot Camp” are strictly my own and do not in any way reflect those of WWE, TNA or any other group that I might inadvertently piss off! But….If you’re gonna get all emo over it, then run home to your mommy, curl up in the fetal position and cry salty tears into your fucking Ovaltine!!***
BOOT CAMP
Ten-hut, troops! Long time, no see.
It feels like forever since I got to sit down and crank out one of these articles for you guys. It feels good to be back in business. With The Sarge in the house, you know that business is about to pick up!
So much has been going on, and still is, so let’s get down to it. We’re not getting any younger, damn it!
First off, I have to share a bit of personal life crap with you. Sorry, but life isn’t all wrestling for me. I have a life outside of being “The Sarge” after all. Most of all, I want to talk about my job. Last time we met, I was talking about how much that job sucked massive goat testicles. Well, it still kind of does, but to a lesser extent. It’s actually getting easier for me. I’m getting used to it. My confidence is increasing every day, and the whole thing is really becoming “tolerable”. This job gave me a migraine from the stress level a couple weeks back….and I don’t get migraines. Never have until that day. I went to the ER and got treated for that. The meds they gave me worked wonderfully, though the delivery method was a bit suspect. They gave me two shots….one in each butt cheek! I know, TMI. But, whatcha gonna do? I had to share so you can feel my pain, so to speak. However, since that day, my job has really improved and I have not been nearly as weird about going back there. I think I may actually survive this, people!
=================================
I think nothing set the tone for 2013 in WWE like the bit on RAW with Mae Young giving “birth” to Hornswoggle on the New Year’s Eve episode. Maybe the absolute dumbest thing I have ever witnessed! How fucking brain-dead does WWE think we are? How was that supposed to be funny? Or entertaining? Or even worth putting on the air at all? WWE has no screening process anymore. I am convinced of that now. I thought having the Muppets on RAW was bad. And again at Tribute To The Troops, but enough already!! Even the rubber hand was a better idea than freakin’ Swoggle. Seriously! When they said Mae Young was pregnant, I admit I flinched toward my remote for just a moment in a knee-jerk reaction to turn off RAW and watch….well, anything else. But, I had no interest, so I stayed on USA and lived to regret my decision. Out pops Hornswoggle, and I suddenly felt insulted and somehow dumber for having witnessed that skit in its entirety.
=================================
Brace yourselves, everyone. I’m going to say it! The Shield….is stupid! All three of them. Another way WWE sees fit to insult our intelligence. From day one, they have lied through their teeth to all of us. Blatantly showing their asses with every word out of their mouths. The first time we saw them, what did they do? They interfered in CM Punk’s match by attacking Ryback. Then, they do their best to back-pedal and deny any involvement with CM Punk. Then, they attack Ryback again and several other superstars in the coming weeks. Last time we saw them, they jumped The Rock during his promo against….that’s right…CM Punk!
Seriously?? Come on, guys. You’re killin’ me. This whole thing is all so mind-numbingly retarded. It’s like the creative team isn’t even trying anymore.
=================================
Speaking of not trying anymore, I have to say I am disappointed so far with The Rock this year since his return. He comes back and on the first night, he comes out and cracks jokes and insults. The next week, yet another “Rock Concert”. Like we haven’t seen that millions (and millions) of times before. There’s nothing new or interesting. He cuts a promo against CM Punk on Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday and roughly plagiarizes the iconic “I Have A Dream” speech, making it into the basis of his promo. Really, Rock? The man who has been regarded as one of the all-time greatest mic workers in ALL of entertainment seems to have lost his mojo. Must be hard to come up with the right words when there aren’t any cue cards to read from. You gotta play it safe when there is no director to yell “Cut!” and give you a second and third shot to get your lines right!
Maybe even as early as last year. Honestly, Rock….you lost me at Kung Pow Chicken. What the fuck does that even mean? I can understand the reference to Fruity Pebbles. But, calling someone a Kung Pow Chicken? What are you? Five years old? That doesn’t even make sense. What does that make CM Punk? Shrimp Lo Mein? Mongolian Beef? Moo Goo Gai Pan? Fuck, I don’t know. Neither does The Rock…or the guy who writes his material….or both. All that talk about Chinese food is making me hungry now, and the carry-out place I normally go to is closed. Fuck you, Rock!
=================================
So, I guess by thinking that 3MB is the stupidest thing in recent memory, I totally get the point behind their gimmick. I think I am right, and I’m completely okay with that. Glad someone has a clue. Another victory in my war against WWE’s obvious disrespect and underestimation of the intelligence of its fans.
=================================
Aside from the Mae Young bit that I mentioned earlier, one more thing really set the tone for WWE in the new year. The end of the New Year’s Eve episode of RAW when John Cena dumped feces all over Dolph Ziggler and AJ in the middle of the ring. One word: shitty! Yep, that about sums it up. I’ve been waiting ever since then for WWE to show me something that changes my outlook. So far, they have failed to do so.
=================================
TNA has not been much better. Jeff Hardy is once again their World Champion, and while I am not entirely against that, there has been a lot more left to be desired. The Aces & 8’s storyline is still going on, with Luke Gallows and Mike Knox both being revealed as members after losing their masks. Devon was revealed as their Sergeant At Arms. Proving further that TNA is like the place where WWE has-beens go to live out their last days.
Worst thing as of late has been the storyline involving Brooke Hogan and Bully Ray trying to get Hulk Hogan to accept their relationship. Just terrible and painful to sit through. It’s all so pointless and has no place on the show, if you ask me. Nobody watches wrestling for storylines like that. They call wrestling a “soap opera for men”, and it’s crap angles like this that give wrestling that abhorrent reputation. It’s things like this that make the uninitiated masses look upon life-long wrestling fans like me and snicker at the notion that I actually watch this shit. I am not ashamed, even with such horrible storylines going on (past and present). What makes me a fan is my dedication to the work these men and women put forth in the ring. I admire many of them for their ability. I look up to them for their ability to work the crowd, tell the story and keep the fans entertained. I can honestly do without a lot of the talking and shenanigans that go on outside of the actual in-ring action. I understand it’s a necessary evil in order to drive the current storylines along, and some superstars and Divas have made all that blabbering seem tolerable. I just wish there was less of it. I know I am not the only one who feels like that. I have heard so many people complain about how little actual time is spent on matches as opposed to time spent talking and doing retarded crap backstage.
….and anything having to do with Hornswoggle. If there wasn’t some sort of equal opportunity infraction in firing that little turd, they should have shit-canned him years ago! Bottom line.
=================================
Don’t even get me started on Manti Te’O and his imaginary dead girlfriend! I am so sick of hearing about that ignorant fucktard. I mean, how freakin’ stupid and clueless do you have to be to get caught up in something like that? You have an Internet relationship with some chick who ends up in the hospital and dies from leukemia, and then you find out the person you talked to on the phone was actually a dude pretending to be a woman. This is too priceless to be made up! Don’t you know every hot chick on the Internet is really a 500-lb basement-dwelling troglodyte? Jesus H Christ! Everybody knows that! Get with the fucking program, Man-Tits Tebow!! Or whatever your name is.
=================================
Okay, guys. I am out of here before I do or say anything else that might get a hit put out on me. With any luck, I’ll be back next time for more “honestly brutal” commentary. You know you love it! If you say you don’t, you’re a freaking liar. Just own up! If you hate this, why do you keep coming back? AHA!! Gotcha, bitch!
Until next time, troops…..YOU’RE DISMISSED!!

F4W#169: RAW Highlights December 17th/12
F4W #170: Trent Baretta RELEASED, Del Rio NEW WHC and Foley in the HOF
Hey everyone welcome back to Have A Nice Day blog. I hope you had a great Christmas break and a Happy New Years. Mine was pretty great. I got to spend time with my family during the holidays. It was such a great visit. Anyway let’s get back into the wrestling shall we…
I’m going to start off with John Cena. His promo this past Monday on RAW was just horrible. I had no idea what the hell he was trying to do or say. This guy is supposed to be the top guy in their company and yet he acts like the top fool in their company! Something is wrong here folks and I don’t know how WWE can fix it. John Cena has become so unbearable to watch or to listen to. The guy can’t wrestle or cut a decent promo. Why does WWE have him as the top guy?! I just don’t get it. I don’t think even turning him heel would do anything good for him. They have made Cena into such a huge joke now; nobody would take him serious as a heel. *Spoiler Alert* I heard rumours that he will be facing The Rock for the WWE Championship at Mania. I don’t think the guy even deserves to be in the main event (let alone a WWE Championship match) because there are way more deserving wrestlers out there who can do a better job than Cena. But Vince McMahon doesn’t see that. He thinks he knows what the WWE Universe wants and that is Cena and his “poppy” jokes. Well I tell you Vince nobody likes it and if you keep insulting us with this Cena garbage you will see a lot of fans turn away from your product. One of the worse things Vince can do is put the WWE Championship back on Cena at Mania. I feel a riot happening at WrestleMania 29.
I found this week’s RAW to be pretty boring for the “go home edition” of RAW for the Rumble. Usually WWE puts on a strong RAW before their PPV. Well this week was just the complete opposite. The only good thing about RAW this week was CM Punks promo. But it wasn’t really his best promo that he has done but still it outshine pretty much anything else on RAW. I’m really looking forward to seeing The Rock vs. CM Punk for the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble. I’m going to be going over to Colleen’s house to watch it with Diva. That should be a fun time. If the PPV ends up being brutal we can always make fun of it. I’m sure between the three of us we can come up with some entertaining remarks. Perhaps we will post some on twitter while we are watching it. Back to Rock/Punk match I have been enjoying the promos from both guys. I know Punk has been the better guy with the promos, but I read the Smackdown spoiler and it seems like The Rock will have a serious promo finally! LOL I guess getting beat down by The Shield this week on RAW has awakened The Great One. It should be a great match to watch!
If you have been watching RAW for the past two weeks you have probably heard by now for this year’s WWE HOF Class of 2013 two wrestlers have been added. They are Mick Foley and Bob Backlund. Both wrestlers deserve to be in the HOF. I’m glad they are getting their chance now. I’m hoping that Macho Man Randy Savage will be inducted this year along with Miss Elizabeth but I’m having my doubts about that one. We shall see. One guy who I would like to get in would be Jake The Snake Roberts. I heard that he has lost over 50 pounds while training with DDP. Way to go Jake. I hope he keeps it up. He was always one of my favourite wrestlers to watch. Even though he had a rough life, he always seemed to entertain for the most part until his later years when it all seemed to catch up with him. I hope Jake is better and just lives the rest of this life normal as possible.
We did picks for the Royal Rumble this year and I picked Sheamus to win it again. I hope he does. I rather see him than Cena win it. But I have a feeling Cena will end up winning it and will go onto WrestleMania. You can check out the rest of our predictions at the end of our blog.
I hope you guys like our new format for the Fatal 4-Way. We have decided to do just a monthly blog now instead of every week. Our lives have changed so much so it has been harder to keep up with doing blogs every week. This way you will get better blogs and perhaps more LOL moments from our one liner we have. I know I will.
Recently I have noticed Zack Ryder has become really annoying lately on Twitter. A lot of his tweets really don’t have any purpose. I mean I feel bad for the guy because he just wants to be over with the fans (which he did very well until WWE killed it) and now I just seem him as someone who is desperate to get noticed. I hate it. Someone in WWE really hates him and they try to do everything they can to make him look bad. But the guy doesn’t give up he just complains. I don’t know what he can do to get back where he was two years ago. For starters I think he needs to come up with something new. I know he just finished up his youtube show. Now I think he needs something fresh and he needs to stop complaining about how WWE treats him. I don’t want to say become a sell out because I don’t want that either. He just needs to find someone in creative who can vouch for him. He is entertaining and he isn’t too bad on the eyes either. Maybe his music career will help him out. I haven’t watched his video yet but I plan to do that sometime soon. I just hate seeing good talent like him being wasted when he deserves so much more.
Anyone miss Brock Lesnar? I kinda do actually. I know he will be coming back very soon, so I’m looking forward to seeing him kick some more asses. WWE does need him and I heard he plans on staying with them for at least another year after this WrestleMania. So sorry Diva Brock won’t be leaving anytime soon! LOL
Anyway that’s it for me this month! I hope you enjoyed my blog and I will see you soon! Have A Nice Day!! J You can reach me @blitz101 on Twitter or check out my tumblr http://glclub.tumblr.com
Well it’s officially the first Skirt Sheet of 2013. How has the past few weeks been treating all y’all? Have you missed us? I tell you I feel so much better and not as stressed out about writing. I just hope everyone’s new years has started out wonderfully. But enough with the small talk, it’s time to shut it and get to bidness.
A lot has gone on since the year has started in the world of professional wrestling. I’m not even really sure where to start. I can honestly say, I have officially given up on TNA. They are very very gross. So we are going to start there.
1) I’m sorry but did Velvet Sky have some work done on her face? She doesn’t look at all the same as before. Her cheeks are to injected, her eyes higher up on her face, her nose and God only knows what…
2) WHY? WHY in all of tarnation would anyone want to marry Brooke Hogan? She’s been passed around times then a communion cup. The only thing that doesn’t surprise me is that she’s going after someone who is old enough to be her father since her father and all his old friend have had a piece of Brooke Hogan. It’s just disgusting! Blech!
3) I should really be careful considering that Hulk Hogan can’t take any criticism or blame and sues everyone. This time he’s suing a medical facility who he claims fucked up his back even more. He claims that the Laser Spine Institute in Tampa, Florida, performed unnecessary surgeries that damaged his career, and is suing them for $50 million. He’s also claiming that the unnecessary surgeries that he had in 2009 prevented him from having a lucrative match with John Cena at WrestleMania 25. Well, that’s his word against everybody else’s. I never heard that rumour at all. It is isn’t uncommon that he’s full of shit! Hello, his autobiography. That was such a crock of shit.
4) So they call them selves Aces and Eights. They are like this old man biker club. What are they? TNA’s idea of WWE’s The Shield??
OK I’m so done with TNA… Literally!
Moving on to WWE!
1) Ding Dong the Bitch is gone!!!
Happy days are here again!!
2) Or are they?
Really? Of all the Diva’s? Seriously? Why not Tamina or Natalya? They are the only two that can actually have a real match, and yet they give the Diva’s title to a noob, like Kaitlyn? I’m shaking my head over here!
3) I don’t even understand why, WHY Natalya is being put with Khali, who by the way I refuse to refer to as The Great Khali, because he is NOT great. OMG who the hell believes that? Why is he getting all these matches on television? Has the world gone bat shit crazy? And why is every sentence a question?
4) CM Punk delivered one of the most epic promos and it started the year off with so much hope. January 7th was one of the best RAW’s we’ve had this year and even in the past few months. Punk delivered a promo that was dead on. The entire thing. Minus The Rock’s part. The Rock, is very similar to Paul McCartney. He’s a strong singer, but his song writing is mostly fluff. Well The Rock is like a singer. His voice and delivery is strong but the shit he says is mostly fluff. I also promise that would be the last time I compare a wrestler to a Beatle.
“You’re playing little league with your little insults and your rhymes and your millions and millions and your finally’s, and I’m in the big leagues and I’m swinging for the fence. You need to understand that your little jabs and your insults, it’s all kiddie games. You can’t leave a mark on the champ’s face. Come Royal Rumble, understand when you step in the ring, your arms are just too short to box with God.”
CM Punk, has always said what we here have been saying all along. That quote above, is epic. That one paragraph says so much more than you realize. When you get to the end of this blog, check out another quote from Punk’s epic promo. Because if you have been listening to everything that I’ve been saying this blog all last year, then you’ll see that I’m not the only one who has noticed.
5) On WWE.com some of the superstars who were mentioned in CM Punk’s “Pipe Bomb” responded, including 16 time Champion Ric Flair and the workhorse Tyson Kidd. I had also read Brodus Clay’s response to the pipe bomb. What are my thoughts on this? Well, I’ll tell ya…Brodus Clay played up his babyface character and said that Punk never should have mentioned his name because it wasn’t true. Um, yeah it is. Brodus Clay must have forgotten that when he was brought into the WWE from NXT originally he was Alberto Del Rio’s monster. Then he comes back as this kitschy gimmick. Way to either play up your character so the WWE looks good, or way to suck up to the creative team who made you and Vince McMahon who approved it (if he didn’t come up with it himself). Flair, also, took the more diplomatic approached and chose not to agree with Punk on anything. He said that the fans do matter and that he has always wanted the fans to leave, saying they saw everything they expected and more when they saw him. He performed to gain the fans respect.
“Like I said, if you like me or don’t like me, learn to love it baby, because it is the best thing going today. And that’s the quote I’ll drop on him [down the line] if I see him. WOO!!!”-Flair
But I have to really commend Tyson Kidd. He didn’t choose the higher road. Instead he seemed happy that Punk said his name and mentioned his work ethic. Punk hasn’t been the only one taking notice of Kidd’s work ethic. That is something I’ve mentioned often. But it was Kidd’s response to Punk’s “pipe bomb” that I respect and agree with…
“My initial reaction was that: A.) These people understand and care, too, and B.) Punk is 100 percent right. I respect CM Punk to the highest degree. If he comes out in his gear, I’m excited. If he comes out with a microphone, I’m equally excited. Love him or hate him, he’s good at what he does. I’ve always considered myself a workhorse, and I’ve definitely used that word to describe myself over the last two years. I go out there and give it my all every single match — and I’ve been doing that for 17 years. Whether in WWE or Japan or Europe or back home in [Calgary, Alberta’s] Stampede Wrestling, it’s always been the same story. In a worst-case scenario, I will out wrestle everybody on this show. Anyone that’s gonna out wrestle me had better perform after me, because I’m going to outperform everybody that I saw before me.”
-Tyson Kidd
He isn’t blowing smoke out his ass either when he says that he works harder than everybody else. So kudos to Tyson Kidd for saying exactly what was true of his current state.
6) Tyson Kidd also has the unlucky draw of being the first person severely injured in 2013. Well actually he closed out 2012 with the injury. He had tears in his right ACL and meniscus and a slight MCL tear as well. All have been repaired, and fixed. The injury could have been way worse. A dislocated knee that would have ruptured all the tendons and ligaments at the same time. Kidd avoided disaster by getting the knee fixed now. He dropped twenty-pounds before the surgery to make it easier to keep extra weight off his knee but doing a very structured cardio routine as well as going on a juice diet. He plans on attacking his physio therapy with the same attack he takes to the ring. According to WWE.com, they say he can be back in seven to nine months, but Kidd plans on being back in six.
7) I suppose I should actually talk about this upcoming pay-per-view. The Royal Rumble has been one of my favourites my entire life. The uniqueness of it all, but this year that uniqueness is gone because of the predictability of it all. Unless a last minute change takes place, I can tell you right now what’s going to happen and then tell you what’s going to transpire at WrestleMania on April 7th. And us loyal, true and intelligent fans are not going to be happy. They pretty much already spoiled the fact that John Cena is the only person to win the Royal Rumble on the 27th of January. Oddly that’s tomorrow and guess who is in the Rumble? Cena. Plus they keep bringing up the number of past superstars who have won the Rumble twice. So right there you know it’s going to be someone who has already won it once before. Cena’s won it once before. So there’s two dead give away as to who will win the Royal Rumble. Which leads me to my next pisser. *****SPOILER ALERT***** I saw a post that said that at WrestleMania 29 it was going to be The Rock vs. John Cena for the WWE Championship. So guess what that means? CM Punk will not be WWE Champions after tomorrow. Nope, The Rock will. Where he will then proceed to drop the title to John Cena at a very anti-climatic Rock vs. Cena 2 match at the Show of Shows. I wasn’t impressed with the first Rock vs. Cena, I sure as hell am not looking forward to a number two. Well maybe a different kind of number 2 (haha Sarge will be so proud that I slipped that poop joke in there. Maybe I’ll get brownie (ha! Brownie) points for slipping a poop joke in in the same sentence as Rock vs. Cena). **** SPOILERS OVER***** I don’t really want to go too in depth at what I think is going to happen at the Royal Rumble because then where would my predictions be? Not a surprise. I think it’s safe to say, I’m going on what I’ve heard, not what I want to happen. Because if I went with what I want to happen they would look like this; CM Punk retains; Del Rio retains; Team Rhodes Scholars become tag team champions; and Wade Barrett wins the Rumble. But as the Rolling Stones say, “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”.
Who has basically had enough of the whole Dr. Shelby and the Anger Management segments? Don’t get me wrong I find the hugging stuff funny, but when they do it to people who aren’t usually full of humour or expecting it. Like Randy Orton. OMG that was funny. But when they did it Monday night and made everyone in the arena hug, it was over done. Way too much. As much as this has to suck for Kane’s character, it works because he is so unlikely a hugger. Yet he adds the comical relief along with Daniel Bryan’s facial expressions. They are defending the tag team championship against Team Rhodes Scholars. Another team that seem to work together quite well. Damien Sandow, also has great facial expressions that help pull the fans in to what he’s feeling or thinking by just a movement of the eyes or the brow line. Cody Rhodes, well there isn’t much to say about Cody Rhodes, except what the fuck is with that mustache? All the wrestlers are having a blast with it but he keeps it anyways. I just keep thinking…
I mean seriously, it makes him look über creepy! But I will say, I cannot think of one WWE superstar or diva who has not made fun of or mocked Rhodes’ mustache whether it actually WWE television or on twitter. Someone has mentioned it. And well, it does have us all talking.
Well I think I’ve blabbered on enough seeing as this has turned into a massive, well I don’t know what. But Lets just say the pictures take up a lot of room but they were worth it! Until next month. One thought to leave you with, I can’t wait for Mick Foley’s Hall of Fame speech, but I will probably miss it if Bob Backland goes first because that’s going to put me to sleep. Because, In Life…There Are Winners, and There Are Losers….Be Jealous and Be Sexy!

-CM Punk, January 7, 2013 RAW
TNA Live, NXT, And More
Hey there 4-Way readers!!! Hope you enjoyed a great week. Hopefully we won’t be so rushed this week to get our little blog out to you like we have been in the past few weeks. Granted we are very late, but it won’t be rushed… I hope. Lol!! Sorry about the tardiness this week, it’s just been so busy for Diva. Next week will probably be even worse, so just bare with us.
Forgot to mention last week that we would have TNA Slammiversary predictions for you this week, and we do. Right where we always put our predictions…at the end! So hang on, it’s gonna be a great blog this week!!
Sarge is unable to be here this week as he was at a loss for words this week after watching the Michael Cole segment on RAW, seeing Hornswoggle impersonate JR and then have to look at Damien Sandow’s ring attire again. He was almost hospitalized by the trauma this week has caused his intelligence and dignity as a wrestling fan.
That is all!
Hey everyone, how are you doing today?! I’m doing pretty well myself. On Saturday I will be going to the Niagara Falls Comic-Con to see the best there is, the best there was and the best there will ever be! That’s right I’m going to be meeting Bret “The Hitman” Hart!! I am so excited about this! He is one of my favourite wrestlers of all time! I’m going with Diva, Colleen and Mat. It should be fun times!! Next time I write an article I will post pictures from it! J
TNA has a PPV this Sunday. I picked my predictions. I don’t know how well I will do considering I don’t really follow TNA as much as WWE. But who knows maybe I will get a few right! I watched Impact last week for a bit. I was quite impressed with it. I mean I prefer to watch anything live than tape when it comes to wrestling. That’s one of the reasons why I prefer to watch RAW over Smackdown. But seeing TNA live was good. It reminded me of the old WCW days when they weren’t as big. I used to watch WCW Saturday Nights on TBS when we started getting the channel. It was always a fun show to watch. I believe it got cancelled when Nitro started. Even though that show was taped, it didn’t really have a huge crowd back then but the fans who did watch it were pretty hardcore fans (even if the product was silly at times).
Anyway back to TNA as I was watching it two wrestlers I saw on the show I thought could make it in WWE. One wrestler being James Storm. I believe this guy could be the next Stone Cold. I don’t think he will be like Stone Cold. I think he could be big if he were to jump to WWE. He has everything Vince needs in a wrestler and he has the look that could get him up to the top. I think when his contract ends with TNA WWE should really take a look at him coming into the company. Another guy who I always thought could do it well in WWE is AJ Styles. He is an amazing talent and he could do well with wrestlers such as CM Punk, Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan and many more wrestlers! I hope someday he will come into WWE. I just hope WWE doesn’t screw him up!
Did anyone watch RAW this week? I did. For the most part RAW just sucked big time. The only part that I enjoyed the most was when John Cena took care of Michael Cole. Cole’s character had it coming a long time ago! But it was nice to see him get good old JR’s BBQ sauce on him at the end of RAW! Other than that I didn’t really care for too much more of the show. I really hope when Vince returns on RAW on Monday that he really does say to John Laurinist that he is “fired” from being the GM on RAW and Smackdown. This storyline has gone on far too long and if you follow the ratings trend it tells you people are getting sick of it too. I’m not sure what Vince could to do to replace John as GM. Maybe I guess give it back to Teddy Long. They don’t need to make the GM the focal point of their shows. They need to start pushing the younger talents so they have Superstars in the years to come.
Anyway that’s all I have for you today! I hope you enjoy your weekend and if you watch the PPV I hope it is good too! Have a nice day! J
Roundtable #3 w/Karicho:
Alberto Del Rio Possibly Pulled from No Way Out:
First off, a very Happy Birthday to Kaden, mini-Sarge, as he turns 2 years old today. In one week I’ll be there with Sarge and his family. Throwing down with Kaden Monkey-Butt, kicking it old school! Next week we will be coming to you live from VIRGINIA!!! This week, it’s time for Diva to shut it and get to bidness!
I got caught up on TNA Impact finally. I’m still completely lost but to sum it up in one shot is this. It’s nice to see that they finally made the leap to going LIVE instead of taped each week. So I made some notes on the first LIVE episode of TNA, which is exactly how they are treating the show, and here they are;
1– HEY!! They finally got REAL pyro!
2– I Hate Hulk Hogan but even he is better than Laurinaitis.
3– Are they really trying to put main event stars in a mid-card (or low-card, depending on how you look at it) title hunt? Are they stupid?
4– Is this “Gut Check” suppose to be TNA’s version of “Tough Enough”? If it is, then they need a “Gut Check”. This Joey Ryan guy looks like the love child of “Leapin’” Lanny Poffo & John Morrison…
5– I’ve decided that I KNOW the real reason as to why Jeff Hardy is painting eyes on his eyelids, it’s so he can’t see what a train wreck TNA really is, Lol!
6– Not enough Angelina Love.
7– TNA is 10 years old? WOW! I’m surprised they made it this far. Is there anyone who can actually GO into their pitiful Hall of Fame? Probably not. Shark Boy??
8–Brooke Hogan=Nepotism at it’s worst! This hoochie is younger than me, and she looks so much older than I am. It pays to stay out of the sun and work at night time to avoid wrinkles and skin cancer. It’s like Brooke Hogan is a walking Skin Cancer. The skin tag on the arm pit of wrestling!
OK I’m done!
Looking at this weekends TNA Slammiversary card has me questioning if this is the event they consider to be their (shitty) equivalent to WWE’s WrestleMania. If so, they are in desperate need of a brand new booking committee. There isn’t one match on there that I give a crap about.
So last weekend, my friend Mat and I went to Burlington Toy and Comic Show. It was a lot of fun. Mat was like a kid in a candy store. We weren’t even inside the show yet and he was marking out at the car from Dukes of Hazards. My main reason for going was to meet TNA Knockout, actually my first TNA talent (other than the ones I met who were in WWE at the time and now in TNA), Angelina Love. Now you all know that I totally love her character and think that she’s amazing talent. Great on the mic and everything, so it was A MUST to meet her last weekend. She signed her action figure for me (which I FINALLY bought at the Toy show. So hard to find), and had my picture taken with her. She was really nice, and I was impressed by her. After the photo, she asked me to tweet it to her later, and I did.
(I totally should have pushed my boobs up higher)She knew I tweeted her about coming to meet her earlier and then she tweeted and re-tweeted me later on, after I tweeted her the photo of us.
So yes that was my weekend last weekend. My weekend this weekend will hopefully be just as successful as last. I’m writing this before the Niagara Falls Comicon, where I plan on meeting Bret “Hitman” Hart with Greg, Colleen and Mat. So stay tune for pictures next week.
I’m tired of thinking that the WWE believe we are stupid enough to buy into Ryback’s crap-ass gimmick. Have you seen what his opponents look like? I believe I touched on this last week, but sometimes a visual will help those who aren’t familiar with Ryback’s history. Most of his opponents look like these four….
Did the graduating class of 2012’s grade 8 become super desperate to get laid that they had to imitate professional wrestlers? Sorry, I have no idea where that was going. Meh, nobody cares.
How’s this for looking kinky and possibly bordering on breaking the PG rating?
Looks like Santino better get ready for a donkey punch. I’m sorry, but it’s hilarious! Looks uncomfortable for Santino being pinned to steel steps with a 400+ pound giant on his back. I like Big Show as a monster, but I think it would have been better suited in making Kane this kind of monster as he returned as a monster but has basically become a pussy again. It’s like the WWE can’t concentrate on more than one big guy at a time. It’s like the writers have A-D-D. They can’t focus on two different monsters. Then again, look at these two monsters…
WHAT IS WITH VICKIE GUERRERO’S BOOBS?! Those things could hold up a collection of books written by timeless authors. It’s like a shelf in her shirt. Colleen and I nearly died of laughter at the perkiness of them. I’m curious to know if she had them reduced in the last week. She didn’t really do much and they look smaller and higher than before. Since I know what freshly reduced boobs look like as I had mine done. I’m guessing that’s what she had.
If the WWE concentrated on the quality of matches on RAW and SmackDown instead of quantity and backstage segments and in-ring promos, they might actually have decent shows out there. WWE puts less emphasis on the backstage segments and promos on NXT and more on matches. The shows matches are better quality, harder worked and just as, if not more so, long as the two primary shows. NXT has at least two amazing matches each week. Ones that I’m sure most of the WWE “universe” over-look because well, it’s not RAW and/or SmackDown. Their tag team matches are with par of the Hardy Boyz and Edge & Christian era, and their diva’s matches are on par with a Cody Rhodes match. This week it was the same thing. Tamina Snuka and Natalya put on one hell of a diva’s match this week. I was so impressed by the work the two of them were doing, that it made me mourn the days of when Diva’s matches once had the opportunity to be a main event on RAW. Where the diva’s didn’t suck balls to get championships, but worked their asses off. Just look at the amazing height, Tamina Snuka got in re-creating her father’s (“Superfly” Jimmy Snuka) finisher…
The tag team division is stronger. The Uso’s are featured on the show almost each week. An underrated and underused team in the WWE. And as much as I’m not a fan of tag teams that are just tossed together, like Kofi Kingston and R-Truth (however they work really well together and I’m not against them), I’m LOVING Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel together. Kidd’s speed, and technical mixed with high-flying mingling perfectly with Gabriel’s high-flying, quickness, stealth and timing, makes these two and undeniable force in the tag team division…IF USED CORRECTLY! I crave more from these two. I hate it when their matches end because I could watch them forever. They remind me of TNA’s Motorcity Machine Guns, or a modern day Hardy Boyz mixed with Hart Foundation. They look good together too.
The two of them are smooth. They’re like a great song that you never want to end (for my current song that I don’t want to end, check out George Harrison’s “Be Here Now,” that song makes me feel so much emotion.). I don’t want the WWE to end this union between them any time soon. I want them to actually put them on the main roster and help Kofi and Truth rebuild the tag team division because quite frankly, there isn’t anyone. The WWE’s tag team division is almost as lacking as their Diva’s division. Both need tremendous help! Justin Gabriel & Tyson Kidd are just the dudes to do it. We can call them the HUGE JUNK Guys. OMG both of them are so well endowed in the pants department. I’m currently thinking about being the cheese in a Kidd/Gabriel sandwich. Sadly, in the case of all cheese… I stand alone 😦
Lol!! Colleen and I decided the perfect Tag Team name for Gabriel & Kidd would be the Manacondas. Yes, we are that disturbed.
I guess I shall wrap this up for this week. I’ve got an extremely busy weekend ahead of me. I get my hole checked out (not that hole you pervs! The one in my tummy), my hair did, a manicure & pedicure, plus my eyebrows waxed and reshaped. Meeting Bret “Hitman” Hart, and who knows else. Hanging with Mat, I’m sure. Yep, sure is a busy week. See you next week from Virginia! Because, In Life…There Are Winners, and There Are Losers….Be Jealous and Be Sexy!
