Hell In A Cell Predictions and more
All the spooks are out this week. Don’t believe me just take a look at the WWE’s Hell In Cell card for this Sunday! OMG, it’s scarry.
Happy Halloween to all you ghost and goblins. It’s a wonderful time of the year for children and drunk adults. I should know, I was one of those drunk adults this weekend. Remember, don’t eat any of your candy after trick or treating until you’re parents can inspect it for any wrong doing’s, but also remember to supervise them because they will steal from you. I know, because my mother used to steal from me too. It’s like “touch my Twix, and Imma gonna cut you!”
Happy Halloween, but it’s time to shut it and get to bidness!
I’m not all that impressed with the build up to Hell In A Cell. They have had over a month to prepare and it seems like they did enough prep work as is it takes to turn a door knob. There has been times when there has been 2 weeks between pay-per-views and even those have more thought put into them. The lack of build up to Ryback vs. CM Punk, the boring build up to Sheamus vs. Big Show. For being the main championship matches, they have had less build up then Kofi vs. Miz, Layla vs. Eve vs. Kaitlyn, Orton vs. Del Rio. Even Team Hell No vs. Team Rhodes Scholars has had more build up. There is something seriously going on here. It’s not like the WWE doesn’t have the resources to create interesting and intricate storylines, however it’s like they took their lazy pills. All that creative are doing is sitting there, yawning and producing crap just because they no longer want to write. I wonder if it’s because when they do write something interesting someone higher up says, “nope that’s too good for our viewers.” And they give us crap. The creative team could be bored since they continue to give us crap.
Ryback vs. CM Punk for the WWE Championship: I don’t know where they could possibly take this. I doubt they are ready to bury Ryback, although I certainly won’t complain. I am curious to see how they will end this match. Someone has to go over. Do I care enough to pay for this event…nope!
Big Show vs. Sheamus for the World Championship: Is it just me, or has both major Championships (WWE & World) have always been done in a Hell In A Cell match? I don’t think this one is. It isn’t being built as a Hell In A Cell match. Either way, I hope this is the end of this program because I’m not impressed with what they’ve done with this storyline. I actually believe they should have dropped Wade Barrett into a feud with Sheamus before Big Show. Clearly that was evident with Barrett and Sheamus’ last three matches together where they OWNED the programming. OMG those two could go and I would have preferred to watch a 20-minute Sheamus vs. Wade Barrett then a 2-minute Sheamus vs. Big Show. WWE screwed up. They screwed up by putting the wrong heel in with Sheamus. Just saying.
The Miz vs. Kofi Kingston for the WWE Intercontinental Championship: I really like both guys, and both guys have done an excellent job building towards this match in a short time. Not only that, they’ve had solid and exciting matches with one another in the past few weeks. I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes my match of the night.
Layla vs. Kaitlyn vs. Eve for the WWE Diva’s Championship: I don’t like any of these three ladies. I’d rather watch a chimpanzee jerk-off to Beethoven’s 69th symphony. None of these three deserve to be in the title picture but when you think about it, the only ones who do deserve it, are Natalya, Tamina and Beth Phoenix and well, as far as we know, Beth Phoenix is done for now (although nothing has officially been announced from WWE). If Beth leaves, we are left with these three. That is not cool. I don’t care who wins, as long as it’s not Layla, Kaitlyn or Eve. I guess that means vacate the damn title.
Team Rhodes Scholars vs. Team Hell No for the WWE Tag Team Championship: TEAM this sucks only because TEAM names make me want to TEAM puke. I do however enjoy the TEAM of Kane and Daniel Bryan, but even that is getting TEAM old. I don’t TEAM think this match is going to TEAM wow me but then you TEAM never know, right? Team Right! If I had to pick a TEAM team, I would have to go with TEAM Hell No. Time to move the TEAM on…
Randy Orton vs. Alberto Del Rio: This also has the potential to steal the show at Hell In A Cell. Randy may not be there full time right now as he’s filming 12 Rounds 2 in Vancouver, but he is still making the build up to this match so fantastic. I’m sorry but if I was Alberto Del Douche Bag, and trust me when I say I’m glad I’m not, I would have crapped my little gold lammé manties when I dropped down to do the RKO as a way to Mock the Apesh Pretadoor, and found him coiled in the same position behind. Totally would have filled my shorts! Just saying!
Sorry it’s so short this weekend. I’m hanging pretty bad and it has literally taken me all day today to write this. I know right? Not a good sign. Lol!! Because, In Life…There Are Winners, and There Are Losers….Be Jealous and Be Sexy!

BOOT CAMP
What’s jumpin’, jellyfishes??
Meh. Whatever. I’m not much for intros tonight. You don’t come here for snappy welcomes. If you did, I’d have to send you to get your damn head checked.
Now, let’s get down to the twig and berries of this bitch!
Ya ever get the idea that the WWE Creative Team has totally run out of ideas. Like if new ideas were dynamite, not a single one of them could even blow their nose? Watching Big Show and Sheamus these past few weeks on SmackDown, I am feeling that more with each passing segment. What do you do when you have no fucking clue what to do with two guys who are facing each other for a major title at the upcoming PPV?? Have them come out and TALK back and forth for 20 minutes every damn week! Even better, make them stand behind podiums while they do it, or have them test their strength on some piece of amusement park buffoonery that was so staged, I almost had to have surgery to get my eyes to roll back to their normal position. COME ON! Even this past Friday night, all those two did was come to the ring and yakkety-yak-yak-yak at the end of the show and then get into some pointless scuffle. Why? To build tension for the PPV on Sunday. Right? I’m hoping this all gets resolved at Hell In A Cell because I don’t know if I can take much more of all this damn talking!
===========================
Talking!
So. Much. TALKING!
Not from Big Show, or Sheamus. Nope! From this guy………
I have no idea who this guy is, or who he thinks he is, but he has posted several videos calling out CM Punk. He jumps on there flapping his snaggle tooth and his 12 chins basically challenging CM Punk to a fight. He said he wants to do it for charity, but since CM Punk never responded to him, now he’s just more pissed than a fat lady when the BBQ ribs run out at Golden Corral! So, he hit the webcam once again this week and posted another video ranting about CM Punk again, calling him a coward.
Is this the same dumbass who got hit by Punk a few weeks ago at RAW? What is up this dude’s ass anyway? Maybe he sat on a CM Punk action figure and it got sucked up into his crack and now, he’s all bent out of shape because he can’t reach around his human-sized chicken nugget frame to pull it back out. This guy has no idea what he’s doing. Even if CM Punk did reply and agree to fight him, this bloated douche would need his inhaler halfway down the entrance ramp!
CM Punk is NOT his enemy. Apparently, God hates him enough already. Try calling Him out for a fight, asshole! If your big mouth doesn’t get you killed, you can bet sleep apnea will get you eventually! I’d say go and try out to be on The Biggest Loser, but it looks like you already nailed that title down! Tell me….did you shoot that video in your parents’ basement?
Dude, just shut the fuck up already. Get down off your damn high horse and get the point! CM Punk will NEVER fight you. I think it’s pretty much illegal for WWE superstars to put their hands on anyone outside of a damn storyline. If you’re trying to get CM Punk arrested or something, you can keep trying all you want. Nobody is listening, and nobody gives a shit!
Besides, dude looks like what would happen if “Sloth” from The Goonies fucked Honey Boo Boo’s mom!
===========================
Speaking of CM Punk, and his match against Ryback at Hell In A Cell this Sunday, I read online that the WWE Creative brain surgeons were having trouble figuring out how to end the match. Have Punk win and end Ryback’s undefeated streak, or have Ryback win? Either finish would prove to be rather problematic for future storylines.
I think the fact that it’s a Hell In A Cell match is what hurts the formula here. If not for it being that kind of environment, and the No DQ rules of that type of match, they could still have Brock Lesnar run in, attack Ryback and give him the win by DQ, which would let Punk keep the title, as well as set up a feud for Ryback and Lesnar. Of course, I don’t know what Brock’s cushy contract will let him do in the way of matches, but this way would make more sense and keep everything intact for Punk/Rock/Cena at WrestleMania next year while letting Ryback move on and continue to have more high profile feuds.
===========================
Anyway, people. That’s all I’ve got for you this week. If you’re getting the Hell In A Cell PPV, try to enjoy it. I will not be getting it, for various reasons. I can track the results on WWE.com for free, and get a decent recap during the week on RAW and SmackDown.
Let’s hope by this time next week, we haven’t all lost faith in wrestling and stopped watching it altogether. I hope not, or we might all miss the (rumored) return of Ric Flair this Monday night on RAW. That’s what I have heard anyway. We’ll see how that goes. Maybe it will give all of us here in the Fatal 4-Way something to talk about next week. Guess you’ll just have to get your monkey asses back here to find out!
Until then, troops….YOU’RE DISMISSED!!

Howdy peeps! How goes it this fine yet rainy (at least here in southern Ontario) weekend? We have a big one for you this week, including a guest writer.

BOOT CAMP
Awwwww….Shucky-ducky-quack-quack, y’all!
Hmm….yeah, that sounded even more stupid the second time I said it in my head. Sorry, troopers! I promise I’ll do better next time.
Know what? Let’s just get down to why we all gathered here once again…to talk about shit. Am I right? RIGHT! Let’s do this!
You’d be proud of me after I sat through TNA Impact this week. I have absolutely no clue what happened with AJ Styles and his “baby Mama”! Normally, the segment they are in bothers the fuck out of me, but this week, I barely remember even seeing them.
==========================
I am totally oblivious to whatever happened in that TNA storyline, but there is one thing that stands out like a sore thumb.
Ryback has pink eye!
Just try and ignore THAT little detail. It’s like the guy on Austin Powers: Goldmember with the huge mole on his face. Moley moley moley!! It would be really hard not to let it slip during a conversation with him.
Just don’t fuck up and call him “Eyeback” by mistake.
I wonder if this is contagious. When Ryback chants “FEED ME MORE!!”, is he talking about antibiotics? Maybe the meds he is taking for this are supposed to be taken with food. Either way, I hope that nastiness clears up for him soon.
Poor guy. Even his crowd signs are getting infected now….
==========================
I have a bone to pick with this guy, Antonio Cesaro. I mean…who really gives a rat’s behind if he can speak five languages? The only language he NEEDS to speak is English. Otherwise, he might as well just mumble and grunt like Khali, the hairless Wookiee.
He isn’t so great. Look…I’ll show you. I can do it, too.
In English: douche bag
In Spanish: El doucho del bago
In French: le douche baguette
In German: Die baggen auf der douchen
Last, but not least…in Italian: Antonio Cesaro
See that? Easy as pie!
==========================
Speaking of douche bags, the big news broke the other day that the manager of the Prime Time Players, A.W. had been “future endeavored” due to off-color remarks he made comparing one of his clients to Kobe Bryant. Apparently, associating WWE superstars with rapists is bad form on a PG-rated television program.
The following is taken from a post on NoDQ.com:
A.W. Released By WWE, Goes On Twitter Rant
Posted by Steve Carrier on 08/10/2012 at 07:29 PM
WWE announced Friday that they come to terms on the release of WWE Superstar A.W. as of today, August 10, 2012. “WWE wishes A.W. the best in all his future endeavors,” the company noted. The terminated personality subsequently went on multi-post diatribe on Twitter ripping the organization:
AW Promotions is no more ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for your support and hate, it’s been a great run. Now I get to do me which isn’t PG!
@TitusONeilWWE & @DarrenYoungWWE thank you for allowing me to speak on your behalf. You guys are the best and I’m glad to call u my friends!
I’ve offended the wrong people that taught me how to have ATTITUDE It was the #WWE that made me bold and now it has turned it’s back on me
Let this be a lesson to up and coming talent in the WWE don’t try and be great like the Rock or Stone Cold. WWE isn’t the same…
Just be normal shut up and be a yes man so you can collect your check and feel like your special. #SELLOUTS!!
I remember a time when the WWE didn’t care about breaking the mold but now everyone is so afraid of their own shadow. #RemeberTheFans
Thanks to the fans who showed me support over the whole Kobe thing and to those I upset I apologize again. Remember It’s entertainment folks
I really do hope Linda wins that election because If not then all of this BS has been for nothing. #GoLinda!!
=======
Folks, there is so much wrong with this Twitter rant from A.W., I am not even going to comment on it. Read over it and draw your own conclusions. He fucked up. His mouth got him in trouble and he can’t handle that he got called on his bullshit for once. He said “Don’t try to be like Stone Cold or The Rock because WWE isn’t the same”. DUH!! It’s been that way for years now, fucktard. Sure, we all hate the PG era, but it’s here and everybody (especially WWE employees) needs to be more careful about their words and actions. Vince and his goon squad will always be watching your every move. I don’t condone the PG rating because I think it takes away from the product, but since there’s nothing I can do about it, I suck it up and press on.
Okay, so maybe I had a little bit to make comments about. No one’s gonna fire me for expressing my point of view. This is why we put out this blog to begin with. Freedom of speech, bitches! We do what we want. We say what we want! Why?? Because fuck you! That’s why!
==========================
Whoa! I guess I got a little worked up there. Suppose that means it’s time to pack it up and call it a day. Time to close the doors on this session of Boot Camp. Come on back next time, troopers! You don’t want to miss it!
Not if ya know what’s good for ya!
Until then, troops…YOU’RE DISMISSED!!

The
Review
By
“Myster Controversy”
Before I begin my review for tonight’s RAW. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Brandon Ewing. My handle is “Myster Controversy”. I’m a very outspoken and passionate wrestling fan. At times, I end up being in the minority when it comes to my views on professional wrestling. For example, I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a John Cena fan. I may dislike certain aspects of his character. However, he’s done enough in this business to warrant my respect. Same goes for TNA Wrestling. Most wrestling fans hate the federation. I enjoy it on most occasions. In general, I’ve been a fan of professional wrestling for over twenty years. Starting with Jim Crockett Promotions (a.k.a. WCW in the early days). The first wrestling match I ever watched was between Sting and a random jobber. From that point forward, I was instantly hooked!
However, that’s a story for another day. Maybe I’ll contribute an entire article about my love for wrestling? We’ll see…
Without any further ado, let’s get down to business.
(RAW 2012 Theme)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXXCiHUMKJo&feature=related
We kick Monday Night RAW off with a new intro video. I have to admit. This was way better than the last package with that stupid Nickelback theme. I know people may not be a fan of this new theme song for RAW. But to me, it’s a big improvement.
(New RAW Opening Video)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oy5LvvLPE_M
Our new RAW General Manager AJ Lee skips down to the ring. Last week, she wore a Stephanie McMahon GM suit. To wearing all white this week. Either way, she looks damn sexy in both! Anyways, she announces two blockbuster matches for tonight’s show. The Big Show going up against ‘The Viper’ Randy Orton. Who made his return last week from his 60 day suspension. Also, John Cena versus AJ’s ex-fiancé Daniel Bryan. CM Punk interrupts AJ after these announcements. Punk comes out to a mixed, yet mostly positive reaction from the WWE Universe. Punk tells AJ that he’s sorry for his actions last week. She deserves respect, just like Punk deserves respect as the WWE Champion. AJ accepts the apology. Punk then tries to get AJ to cancel the WWE Championship match for SummerSlam. The fans immediately turn on Punk. Chanting: “No!”, “No!”, “No!”. AJ tells Punk she may make a lot of mistakes in her new role. But making the match at SummerSlam wasn’t one of them. Punk counters by accusing AJ of trying to get back at him. John Cena’s comes out. As he receives a good pop from the crowd. Cena accuses Punk of becoming another ‘one of those guys’. Telling Punk he needs to earn respect. The fans break out into “Let’s go Cena. Let’s go Punk” chants. Cena tells Punk he needs to fight each and every day for respect. Cena blames Punk for the Triple Threat match being made in the first place. Punk counters by telling Cena that he tells it like it is. That Cena doesn’t have to earn anything around the WWE. Punk says he won’t be disrespected by Cena, Big Show or AJ. Punk brings up the fact that at last year’s SummerSlam. He beat John Cena. Big Show’s music hits. Before he could reach the ring, AJ tells everyone to cool it. Save their aggressions for later tonight. AJ then books Punk into a match. She gives the WWE Universe a chance to decide Punk’s opponent. The choices are: The Miz, Kane and Rey Mysterio. Then tells the WWE Champion his match is up next.
My Thoughts:
I have to say. The opening segment was very meh. As much as I adore AJ, I’m not that impressed with her promo skills. Hopefully she will improve as time goes on. CM Punk cut a halfway decent promo. Trying to coax AJ into canceling the match for SummerSlam. I felt from the moment Cena came out. That’s when this segment started to go downhill. All Cena said was that after eleven WWE Championship reigns. He’s having to fight for the fan’s respect? The problem we have is simple. John needs to spend more time putting other wrestlers over. Rather than hogging the main event spot on every Pay-Per-View event. He doesn’t need to go after WWE Championship reign number twelve. Granted, we know Cena is the company ‘cash cow’. We get it. I respect it. However, there comes a point in time where things really need to change. Cena’s role in the company needs… to… CHANGE! Then we got into the blame game. Cena blaming Punk for setting up the Triple Threat match. Punk blaming Cena for attacking him first. Blah, Blah, Blah! Then Big Show comes out for no apparent reason. Other than to stand there and look stupid on the ramp way. I mean, if the guy isn’t going to cut a promo. Much less cause any damage. Why the hell do you bring him out there?
Random note, do we really got to see the same Triple H/Brock Lesnar promo over and over again?
Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler announces the results of the poll. Rey Mysterio wins with 47% of the votes. So we have CM Punk vs Rey Mysterio up next in a non-title match.
My Thoughts:
Out of the three possible opponents for CM Punk. I felt this was the best choice to go with. Overall, this match was okay. There were some nice spots. Overall, I felt the match to be lacking compared to the past Rey Mysterio/CM Punk matches we’ve been treated to on numerous occasions in the last couple of years. CM Punk going over surprised me a little bit. I figure with Rey Mysterio coming back off an injury and a 60 day suspension. He would get the upset victory. Thankfully, I was wrong. Punk goes over with the Go to Sleep. I felt this could’ve gone on another 5-10 mins. A good victory for the WWE Champion CM Punk.
Match Rating: **1/2
Alberto Del Rio & Ricardo Rodriguez arrives to the building.
A return promo video airs for Wade Barrett. The video is more or less inspired from the “Fight Club”. I have to say WWE did a VERY GOOD job with this. I’m looking forward to Barrett’s return.
(Wade Barrett’s Promo Video)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NooyqQkh4yo
We cut to Alberto Del Rio & Ricardo Rodriguez confronting AJ Lee backstage. Alberto starts kissing up to AJ. Comparing her to SmackDown GM Booker T. AJ initially tells Alberto she doesn’t have him booked in a match tonight. When she walks away, Del Rio & Ricardo talk amongst themselves. They make a comment about AJ being “crazy”. AJ overhears this, and changes her mind. Booking Del Rio in a match next. Del Rio argues with Ricardo to go fetch his ring gear.
Cole & Lawler hype HBK’s return tonight at his hometown of San Antonio, Texas. As we cut to a commercial break.
My Thoughts:
I LOVE the return video for Wade Barrett. WWE takes advantage of his Bare-Knuckle Brawler background. I hope that he comes back with better theme music. His latest theme is HORRIBLE! The interaction with Del Rio, Ricardo & AJ was just there. The back & forth dialog between Del Rio & Ricardo is entertaining as usual.
Christian is in the ring when we come back on the air. Lawler announces that Christian will be Alberto Del Rio’s opponent.
Alberto Del Rio goes over Christian. Del Rio hits Christian with a ‘boot’ (yeah I know, ridiculous!). This sets up the Cross Arm breaker. Del Rio goes over by submission. As Del Rio celebrates, Sheamus shows up on the titantron. Sheamus says he thought about what Del Rio said last week. Agreeing that he was ‘beneath him’. Then we see a shot of Sheamus near Del Rio’s car. Ricardo left the keys in the ignition when he went to grab Del Rio’s gear. Sheamus hops in and promises to take his car on a ‘sight see around San Antonio’. Sheamus speeds out of the parking lot. Both Del Rio & Ricardo start freaking out. Randy Orton vs Big Show is coming up next after the break.
My Thoughts:
You would think given the classic match-up Christian & Alberto Del Rio had last year at “Extreme Rules”. This would be an easy candidate for Match of the Night. Well… not exactly. This was a far cry from any of that. I don’t know what Christian has done. Since he has lost the Intercontinental Championship, he’s been in the dog house. The ending to this match was STUPID! I can understand knocking a guy out with a foreign object. Maybe even a steel chair. But this was as lame as you can get folks. They didn’t even sell the boot as being loaded. This would have made the ending more believable.
Match Rating: *1/2
The promo with Sheamus was a good setup to add fuel to the fire. Sheamus doing everything he can to get under Del Rio’s skin. I couldn’t help but chuckle every time Sheamus called Del Rio “Berty”.
Randy Orton versus The Big Show ends in a double count out. Big Show spears Randy Orton on the arena floor. Both men were unable to enter the ring before the count of ten. After the match, both men enter the ring. Big Show goes to hit Orton with the W.M.D. Orton counters with an R.K.O.
Promo’s for Triple H/Brock Lesnar, HBK’s return and SummerSlam roll respectively as we go to a commercial break.
My Thoughts:
Like the last couple of matches. This one was very lackluster. I’m not sure who was in charge of booking the matches tonight backstage. But they need to be FIIIIIIIIIIIIRED!
The ending was very anti-climactic, even though it made sense. You got Orton returning. Despite the 60-day suspension, is white hot with the fans. Big Show is in the main event for SummerSlam. So you can’t exactly have him looking weak heading into the show in two weeks. If anything, the only purpose this match served was to make all the Randy Orton fans happy. So there ya go!
Match Rating: *
Back live on the air. Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks are in the ring. Set to face Ryback in a 2-on-1 squash match.
Ryback goes over after pinning Curt Hawkins with the Shell Shocked.
John Cena vs Daniel Bryan is hyped as we cut to a commercial break.
My Thoughts:
I’m gonna come out and say it right now. I love this Ryback character. Now, before I can get any heat. I know full well that his character is an obvious inspiration of Goldberg. WWE has slowly been stepping up his competition over the past few months. He went from squashing no name, local Indy wrestlers. To low card WWE jobbers like Jinder Mahal, Tyler Reks, Curt Hawkins. I realize his name sounds like a sandwich from Arby’s (seriously, it does!). To me, I think despite the similarities. Ryback is the kind of character WWE needs right now. He’s a breath of fresh air to the roster. I’ll even go out on a limb to say this guy will likely be a main eventer by this time next year. He may not be a World Champion by that time. But he will be a major player.
Match wise, nothing to brag about. You’ve seen one Ryback squash match. You’ve seen em’ all. This was no different.
Match Rating: *
As we come back live. We have a tag match between the Primetime Players versus Primo & Epico. Surprisingly, this was probably one of the better matches on the card so far tonight. Primo & Epico pick up the victory after Epico hits the Back Stabber on Titus O’Neil. The Tag Champions Truth & Paradise get involved. Keeping the Primetime Players from bailing out of the match.
After the match. Damien Sandow is briefly interviewed by Josh Matthews backstage. Damien vows to rid the WWE of all foolishness. Starting tonight with Brodus Clay.
My Thoughts:
This tag match was definitely one of the better matches on RAW tonight. I’m a huge fan of the Primetime Players. They’re one of, if not the only team. To grab my attention in recent years, in what has been a piss-poor tag division. I like the gimmick WWE has for A.W. Last week, he was in the middle of controversy for making a joke about Kobe Bryant. To me, I didn’t think it was that big of a deal. Considering that most kids watching the show wouldn’t have a clue what he was talking about. Regardless though, I do believe his gimmick. As cool as it might be, is it a bit distracting. In my opinion, a manager’s job is to get their talent over. By doing so, the last thing you want is to steal heat from your clients. Unfortunately, that’s what A.W. is doing right now. While I sincerely believe it’s unintentional. In the long run, it’s going to be hurtful for the team. We’ll wait and see if that happens.
Overall, it was a good match. Sadly, no Rosa Mendes tonight…
Match Rating: **
Next up, it was scheduled to be Damien Sandow versus Brodus Clay. However, those plans changed in a hurry. Before Brodus could make it to ringside, Damien clipped him from behind. A vicious assault ensued. Damien, in brutal fashion, took out the knee of Brodus Clay. He celebrates on stage as referees tend to Brodus.
We cut backstage to AJ and Daniel Bryan. AJ tells Bryan he has definite anger issues. Bryan swears that he is calm now. That he agrees with her decision for him to face John Cena. Saying that after he defeats John Cena. The match will be a Fatal-4-Way. However, AJ has other plans. She tells Daniel Bryan that he has to face Kane instead at SummerSlam. This starts a hilarious “YES!” and “NO!” back and forth between the two, as we cut to a commercial break.
My Thoughts:
I loved the attack on Brodus Clay. This was to me the first time Damien Sandow showed his true aggressiveness. I’m still unsure if the knee injury, even prior to the attack on Clay. Is a legit injury or not? Either way, he’s selling it really well. If you missed this segment, shame on you! To me, this was one of the highlights of the entire show.

Next up, we have the return of Kelly Kelly…
Anyways, Kelly Kelly goes one-on-one with Eve Torres. Kelly Kelly gets the victory after a Hurricanrana Pin.
Afterwards, Michael Cole & Jerry Lawler recap what had happened earlier with Del Rio & Sheamus. Cole then says that Sheamus has touted a video of him driving around San Antonio in Del Rio’s car. Before we go to break, we learn that Shawn Michaels will be out next!
My Thoughts:
The divas match was typical. Same spots, same ol’ bullshit. You’ve seen one horrible Kelly Kelly match. You’ve seen the rest of em’. She may be one of the hottest Divas in the WWE today. However, that doesn’t make up for her lack of wrestling ability. On the plus side, maybe I’ll get my wish seeing Kelly Kelly face off against Raquel Diaz. That would be a perfect storyline for Raquel. Once she is promoted to the main roster from NXT.
We come back from break. “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels is introduced to his hometown crowd. Always a treat seeing Shawn on an episode of Monday Night RAW. The fans welcome him back with a thunderous reaction. Shawn thanks the WWE Universe for letting him be a part of RAW 1,000. Calling the reunion of D-Generation X ‘priceless’. He talked about how the more things change. The more they stay the same. He talks about the confrontation between Brock Lesnar and Triple H. Suddenly, Brock’s music hits. Both Lesnar and Heyman come out to ringside. Heyman starts kissing Shawn’s ass. Talking about how he agrees with everyone about Shawn being the best ever. How he would normally seek out Shawn’s opinion, but not for this match. Telling Shawn that Brock is showing up at SummerSlam to fight Triple H. To prove that he’s the “Baddest Dude on the Planet”.
Shawn counters by saying any other time. Brock Lesnar was your man. But attacking Triple H on a personal level was not the way to go. HBK sides with Triple H as we all would expect in this situation. He believes it so much, he wants to see it all go down personally. Shawn then announces he will be in the corner of Triple H at SummerSlam. Heyman replies by telling Triple H he will not leave on his own terms. Brock then gets on the microphone. Telling Shawn the only reason he believes Triple H can beat him is because Shawn has never been in the ring with him until now. Suddenly, Triple H’s music hits.
Brock and Heyman retreat. But not before Brock tells Triple H he will see him at SummerSlam. Then tells Shawn he will see him ‘before then’. Both Heyman & Lesnar walk away with smiles on their faces.
After this, Cole shows the Tout video of Sheamus. Taking the car over to the Alamo. As we then cut to a break.
My Thoughts:
Always good to see Shawn back on RAW for these little one-off appearances. However, for this to be an ‘Appreciation Night’. WWE had a funny way of showing it. I’m assuming this will come after the show is off the air. Nonetheless, I liked the confrontation between Shawn, Heyman and Lesnar. At the conclusion, I get the impression Lesnar is gonna jump Michaels at some point before SummerSlam. Maybe next week on RAW?
Next up, we have Alex Riley versus Dolph Ziggler. Chris Jericho joins Cole & Lawler at ringside. Thanks to a distraction by Jericho. A-Ry is able to roll-up Ziggler for the 1,2,3!
After the match, Cole announces that AJ sent out a Tweet. Booking Kane versus The Miz in a match that will be coming up next.
My Thoughts:
A decent match between Riley and Ziggler. I loved the ending with Jericho shooting a tout video to cost Ziggler the match. That was brilliantly done. A nice surprise win for Alex Riley. I feel he’s one of the guys whose been mistreated by WWE management lately. No reason why this guy shouldn’t turn heel and have a good push. Nonetheless, it was a good storyline build between Ziggler and Jericho.
Match Rating: **
We come back on the air to show Sheamus in another tout video. Eating Mexican food in Del Rio’s car. Spilling all over the place (this is supposed to be funny why??). Anyways after this, Kane comes out to face The Miz. Kane goes over The Miz after a Chokeslam from Hell. John Cena versus Daniel Bryan is up next in our main event.
My Thoughts:
A match that was thrown together to kill time. Miz and Kane weren’t selected earlier tonight by the WWE Universe. So it made sense at least to throw them in a match. Unfortunately, the match itself wasn’t much to brag about. I was a little surprised to see Kane go over the newly crowned Intercontinental Champion. Then again, with Kane now slated to face Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam. I guess this was WWE’s way of making Kane look decent heading into the match. So from that perspective, I get the decision to put “The Red Machine” over Miz.
Match Rating: *1/2
Matt Strikers interviews Daniel Bryan before the match. D-Bryan is sporting a new “No! No! No!” shirt (this shit is getting ridiculous!) Bryan doesn’t want the fans to chant “YES!” anymore. So they start chanting it, with Bryan chanting “No!”. A very stupid segment if you ask me.
So now we go to our main event between John Cena and Daniel Bryan. After a good contest, John Cena wins by pinfall following an Attitude Adjustment. As Cena celebrates, Punk comes out. Both men have a stare down, with Punk holding the WWE title in the air. Cena shoves Punk out of the way as Big Show makes a run-in. Show goes to Choke Slam Cena. Cena counters, as he attempts an Attitude Adjustment. Punk gets back up. Knocking both men down, it was déjà vu all over again like the conclusion of last week’s RAW.
Punk jumps out of the ring. He grabs a headset at the commentator’s booth. Punk tells Lawler & Cole that maybe Cena is right. That’s his fault the title match is a Triple Threat match at SummerSlam. Maybe it’s his fault that people have been disrespecting him. People like Jerry Lawler. Talking about how he shook hands, kissed babies and let people walk all over him. Saying that every RAW will end the same as the last two. With CM Punk standing tall as WWE Champion. Anyone standing in his way, gets taken down by the “Best Wrestler in the World”.
Punk goes back into the ring. Attempts a Roundhouse Kick to Show. Show dodges and knocks the WWE Champ out cold with the W.M.D. Show sizes up John Cena and knocks him out too with a W.M.D. Big Show is shown standing tall with the WWE Championship, as RAW goes off the air.
My Thoughts:
The main event was good considering the time both men were given to work with. I realize that John Cena can’t work a great match by himself. However, with the right opponent, he can put on a good match. Daniel Bryan showed tonight that he can be one of those guys. Bryan carried the match and did an excellent job of making Cena look strong heading into SummerSlam. The conclusion to the match was perfect. I felt it would’ve been bad to see a Submission specialist like Daniel Bryan tap out to the S.T.F. I’m glad WWE went the route they did with the ending.
Match Rating: ***
For the rest of Monday Night RAW, it was literately déjà vu all over again. At least, that’s how it seemed to go. Punk laid both men out. Getting on the headset, telling everyone that he’s doing things his way now. Punk put the spotlight back on him and the WWE Championship. Big Show changed all that by laying both Punk & Cena out at the end. I felt Show was getting the short end of the deal between Punk and Cena. For me, I’m happy that WWE allowed Show to look dominant again. Big Show made both men take notice of him. When I felt originally this three-sided feud over the WWE Championship was more about a battle of respect between John Cena and CM Punk.
Final Thoughts:
I felt RAW was very lackluster for the most part. There was a few good moments sprinkled in. Damien Sandow “injuring” Brodus Clay was one of them. The Main Event between Cena and Bryan was good for what it was. Wade Barrett’s return promo alone got me excited to see the “Bare Knuckle Brawler” returning to action very soon.
Everything else was just bad. AJ still needs to improve on her acting as General Manager. The matches for the most part were poorly scripted. Matches that should’ve been very good on paper like Del Rio versus Christian. This should have got more time and a better ending.
Good to see Shawn back as usual. But I felt there was no real ‘Appreciation’ being shown. Which was funny considering WWE made it out to be a big deal. When all we got was Shawn coming out to say thank you to the WWE Universe. Then decided to butt-heads with Heyman and Lesnar. Inserting himself into the Triple H/Lesnar storyline.
I would’ve had most of the WWE Roster come out and thank HBK for his contributions to the company. Than at the end of all that. Lesnar come out and drop HBK with an F-5 maybe to piss Triple H off. That to me would’ve made for a way better segment then what the company presented us tonight.
I felt like the rest of the show was just ‘there’. Each match felt rushed just so we could get to the next segment. I mean, to me. There’s no excuse for this. WWE has a three hour block. They need to take advantage of this. Give the matches more time and meaning. Rather than slap a bunch of random, filler sh*t in to string us along.
RAW did nothing for me. The negatives outweighed all the positives this show had going for them. I hope next week’s ‘go home’ show, we will get a better show overall. All I know is. Writing a review for a three hour RAW has been brutal (laughs). But it’s fun, and I look forward to doing this every week if possible.
The
Review
Welcome back to my weekly recap. Hopefully you guys enjoyed my review for Monday Night RAW. I tried to have a little fun with the results. Adding funny pictures and one liners whenever I could. With NXT, I’m taking a different approach. Thankfully, I can say the ‘new’ NXT is one of the better shows WWE has to offer. If any of you have followed Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW). Then you may recognize most of the wrestlers. Problem with NXT is the shows are hard to find. Thankfully, I have a link to watch every show. So if anyone is interested. Hit me up on Twitter, Facebook or E-Mail me. All my addresses are at the bottom.
With that out of the way, let’s get down to business shall we?
(NXT Opening)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yOEcaGmCuE
William Regal, Jim Ross and Byron Saxton welcome us to the show. We kick things off with a NXT Championship Quarter-Finals match. Justin Gabriel goes one-on-one with Michael McGillicutty. The match ends after Michael McGillicutty hits the McGillicutter on Gabriel for the 1, 2, 3. Michael McGillicutty advances to the semi-finals. He will face Seth Rollins next week on NXT.
After the match, we learn Kassius Ohno will be competing in a match after the break.
My Thoughts:
Minus a few sloppy moments, this was a good match. I’m not a huge fan of Michael McGillicutty. To me, he seems so generic. A far cry from his Father the late “Mr. Perfect” Curt Henning. I believe he’s a decent worker. The charisma, along with the ‘it factor’ just isn’t there. Justin Gabriel is a terrific wrestler. I think he needs a little fleshing out to his character. I mean, the problem with Gabriel is he’s got the talent. However, everything else about him is bland. He is nothing more than a generic, cookie cutter high flyer.
All in all, this was a good match to kick the show off. I think between the two wrestlers. I see Michael McGillicutty getting better opportunities than Gabriel. Not because of his family heritage. I think he stands a greater chance of improving. He needs to develop his own persona. So he can separate himself from his family background. Take a look at Raquel Diaz, the daughter of Eddy and Vickie Guerrero. Despite the gimmick being similar to The Beautiful People, it works in the WWE. She’s found a way to make the fans care about her in the ring. The point I’m trying to make is. McGillicutty and Gabriel need something to catch the eye of the fans. If you can’t attach yourself to the character, you won’t go anywhere in professional wrestling. It’s gonna take more than wrestling ability to get the job done.
Match Rating: **1/2
Next up, we have Kassius Ohno versus CJ Parker. Kassius Ohno picks up the victory with the KO.
After the match, we have a promo with Mike Dalton and Jason Jordan from last week. Both men talk about how the fans never expected them to win. They officially form a tag team by the end of this segment. Before the break, we learn a Divas Tag match is up next. Paige and Tamina Snuka, go up against Kaitlyn and Caylee Turner.
My Thoughts:
Not a whole lot to say about the match. I’m not familiar with CJ Parker whatsoever. To me he seems like a jobber. Given how one sided this match was, that’s the impression I get from him. Kassius Ohno is the IWC darling. He has a great following due to his time in Ring of Honor as Chris Hero. Unfortunately, I’m not a regular ROH follower. Therefore, I hardly watch the product. When I heard this guy was signed to the WWE. I wasn’t excited, not because I disliked the guy. But I wanted to see what he could do first, before I formed an opinion.
From what I’ve got to see of Ohno, I’ll admit. I’m impressed with his performances. Do I think he’s the best thing since sliced bread? Not really. I’ll see where his character goes from NXT and beyond. Tonight, he had a good victory over CJ Parker. Let’s see what this guy can do against talents like Justin Gabriel, Seth Rollins or Richie Steamboat. Ohno is going to be a guy I’ll be keeping a close eye on.
The promo with Mike Dalton and Jason Jordan was pretty bad. I’m sorry, but the delivery from these two. Sounded exactly like a couple of giddy, overly excited IWC fans marking out. I’m not impressed with these guys at all.
Match Rating: *½
The Divas Tag Match takes place after NXT returned from the break. Paige and Tamina Snuka go over Caylee Turner and Kaitlyn. Paige rolls up Caylee into a small package for the victory.
After the match, Bo Dallas is shown warming up backstage. Derrick Bateman walks up to wish him good luck.
My Thoughts:
I think the Divas tag match would have been better had it not been for Caylee Turner. This girl is beyond HORRIBLE in the ring. It showed tonight with a couple of blown spots. I’m not sure if she’s cut out for wrestling to be honest. On the other hand, Tamina and Paige showed some good chemistry out there tonight. Kaitlyn is continuing to improve. The bottom line comes back to Caylee. She messed this match up royally. I used to think Alicia ‘Botch’ Fox was bad? But she takes the cake folks. In my honest opinion, Caylee shouldn’t be in the ring at all, period!
Match Rating: *
Before the main event began, we’re treated with a promo for The Ascension.
(The Ascension Promo)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O8d_U6JrZo
It’s now time for our NXT Main Event. Bo Dallas goes one-on-one with Jinder Mahal in a Quarter-Finals match. After an impressive Reverse STO. Jinder Mahal defeats Bo Dallas with the Camel Clutch. Mahal celebrates his victory to end this week’s NXT!
My Thoughts:
I love the Ascension! What a breath of fresh air these guys bring to the WWE. It’s edgy. It’s cool. To me, it’s like they took the best elements of The Ministry of Darkness. Combined that with The Brood, and we’re given The Ascension. WWE is trying to make the Tag Division feel important again. It’s obvious with teams like The Uso’s, Primo & Epico, The Primetime Players, Truth & Paradise, Tyson Kidd & Justin Gabriel. The company is trying to build this division back up. I’m anxiously awaiting the day these guys can debut on RAW or SmackDown. Then make a go for the WWE Unified Tag Team Championship. For now, I’m content with watching these guys raise hell on NXT.
I have to say first and foremost. I was genuinely shocked to see Jinder Mahal get the victory. After so much stock that was put into Bo Dallas. I felt for sure he truly was one of the favorites to win the tournament. I’m trying to wrap my head around this as I type. This used to be the same Jinder Mahal. Who many months ago, was Sheamus’ whipping post. How many squash matches did Mahal go through with Sheamus anyway? I’d love to have that statistic someday. Anyway, my point is this ladies and gentlemen. Why does the WWE wait until now to care about Jinder Mahal?
Don’t get me wrong. I love this gimmick. I loved it when the Iron Sheik did it. Sgt. Slaughter did it with his support for Iran. Muhammad Hassan did it through his support for the mistreatment of Muslims throughout post 9/11. If anything else, Jinder Mahal is Muhammad Hassan lite. Not that I’m going to use that to take anything away from his character. When you spend most of last year burying this guy, it’s going to take a while to build back up his support base. I’m not so sure if I’m ready to care about Jinder Mahal just yet. Maybe in due time, I’ll change my mind.
The match itself was pretty good. Both these men seem to work well together. I can potentially see both wrestlers working a feud on NXT someday. I’ve got nothing negative to say about this contest really. Maybe the match could’ve gone on a little longer? That’s just my opinion anyway.
Match Rating: ***
Final Thoughts:
Overall, it was a solid NXT show. This show has been through hell and back. Like the vast majority of us wrestling fans. I am so happy this show has turned itself around. Into the show I always knew it could be. I’ll try not to rant and rave about this for too long. When I saw the debut episode of NXT two years ago, I was sick to my stomach. Not even the talents of Daniel Bryan, Wade Barrett and others could save it from being a joke. I knew this Reality TV garbage we were being fed was a disaster waiting to happen. Sure enough, as time went on. I was right.
Today, this version of NXT is what we should have received two years ago. Instead of dwelling on what could’ve been, I’m happy to live with what is now. The only thing that puzzles me is why WWE refuses to showcase this show? My understanding is the International markets are able to watch it. Yet in the United States, there’s no way to watch. That’s if you’re lucky to find it on YouTube.
I like to keep my articles *spoiler* free. Well… minus the shows I talk about obviously. Therefore, while I have knowledge of who wins the NXT Championship Tournament. I’m not going to spoil it for the rest of you. Fact is, I can’t stand spoilers. Now before I get accused of contradicting myself. Let me explain how I learned about the winner of the tournament. How I found out was through a random, unavoidable post on Facebook from a wrestling website. I was so angry to find out who won the tournament. I wanted to strangle whoever posted this story. To me, this is a reason why all wrestling shows today need to be live, not taped. Let’s kill off spoilers once and for all. My feelings would not be hurt if every wrestling dirt sheet site were shut down one by one. The Internet is killing the business, not the dreaded “PG” era.
With that said, I am “Myster Controversy”. Look for my recaps for NXT, Impact Wrestling and SmackDown in the days to come. Also, I have a very special article regarding my thoughts on the “PG Era” in professional wrestling. I hope to turn a few heads with what I’m going to say. Keep an eye for that article in the near future.
That’s the story for now.
Don’t like it?
Tough!

Learn to love it!”

Sometimes you think to yourself, can things possibly get any worse? The answer is, indeed they can. I wasn’t sure that the WWE could top what they tried to feed us last week but low and behold they did. However, not all was bad. So instead of talking about it now, why don’t I shut it and get to bidness…
After last weeks numbers of RAW, I thought to myself why don’t I take matters officially into my own hands and do my own real numbers. The number of matches went up from last weeks seven matches to nine and a half (the half being the match that didn’t actually officially take place between Brodus Clay and Damien Sandow). HOWEVER, we got more matches but the grand totally of those NINE (not including Clay/Sandow), was done like this. The moment the bell rang to start the match, the moment the bell rung to end the match. A grand total of 44 minutes and 51 seconds of actual wrestling;
Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk = 6minutes 36seconds
Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio = 3minutes 8seconds
Randy Orton vs. Big Show= 5minutes 42seconds
Ryback vs. Tyler Reks & Curt Hawkins= 2minutes 50seconds
Primo & Epico vs. The Prime Time Players= 3minutes 34seconds
Kelly Kelly vs. Eve= 3minutes 4seconds
Alex Riley vs. Dolph Ziggler= 4minutes 20seconds
Kane vs. The Miz=3minutes 47seconds
Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena= 10minutes 54seconds
= 44minutes 51 seconds
What is wrong with this picture? More matches, even less time than last weeks? HOWEVER, despite the shitty showing for minutes in the ring out of a 2hour 12 minute 12 second show, Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena exceeded all my expectations and ended up being a damn good match. We finally got a Diva’s match and they gave it more respect than Ryback, which says something. The stuff with Sheamus was entertaining. And Shawn Michaels being confronted by Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman actually kept me interested. That says something as well, considering my feelings for Brock Lesnar. CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio was a strong match as well. No doubt, I’m probably the only one who enjoyed seeing Alex Riley defeat Dolph Ziggler, no matter how wrong it was of the WWE to book that match that way. Having Alex Riley defeat Ziggler any other time would have worked great, but to have him do it now while Ziggler is carrying the World Championship Money In The Bank brief case, makes him look extremely weak. I’m not a Ziggler fan. I can’t stand him. For a wrestler he isn’t bad, but his look doesn’t pull me in. It doesn’t make me take notice. It makes me roll my eyes and want to stick my finger down my throat because playing super model is more entertaining than Ziggler is. I thought Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio was a decent match, as was Kane vs. The Miz. No doubt the match quality has gone up despite the short amount of time the WWE is giving them. I was hoping that with a three hour show, that the matches would be longer and better, but that isn’t the case. They’re better, but not necessary longer. What we are getting are short bursts of potentially great matches. The worst match had to be Kelly Kelly vs. Eve. The second Kelly fucked up the stink face, was it for me. I was like, did you just screw up the stupidest yet easiest move ever to be introduced to the world of professional wrestling (if you can call it a move)? Ryback vs. Hawkins & Reks follows damn close up the behind with the second worst ever. I’m slowly becoming a partial fan of Damien Sandow since he’s gunning for one the dumbest morons in the business today, “The Funkasaurus” Brodus Clay. Make him stop dancing? Yes Please!!! As for my opinion on AJ Lee as General Manager. I’m giving her time. She isn’t sucking, but she isn’t really there yet either. I am buying it though. I do like what they have her character doing. She’s a lot less annoying. One major critism though, she needs to STOP skipping around the ring like a child, or nobody is ever going to take her seriously. The show itself didn’t suck. It wasn’t great either.
One thing that has to stop is Michael Cole saying that the tag team division is heating up and that we have all these “new” tag teams. OK, maybe that’s two. Where are these so-called “new” tag teams you keep talking about Cole? Other than Darren Young & Titus O’Neil as The Prime Time Players, I see no “new” tag teams. Kofi Kingston and R-Truth are the WWE Tag Team champions, but they aren’t new. Epico & Primo, aren’t new. The Uso’s aren’t new. Tyler Reks & Curt Hawkins aren’t anything. Over in NXT, there are “new” tag teams. The Ascension comes to mind. Those two guys, holy shit. Potential city. They have a great entrance, a great look and a hard hitting in-ring tactic. I’ve enjoyed watching them on NXT. But The Ascension are on NXT, not RAW or SmackDown. Whatever Michael Cole is watching to get this information about the tag team division, maybe he should share with the rest of us. And if it isn’t information he’s getting but something funny he’s smoking, again… maybe he should share with the rest of us.
Anyone miss Rosa Mendes this past Monday on RAW? No, didn’t think so. But she wasn’t there with her tag team, Epico & Primo. She arrived in San Antonio late Sunday night, and immediately called the police. Apparently her boyfriend (possibly her fiance), former WWE manager of Tyson Kidd, Jackson Andrew (real name Andy Slocum–haha what I can do with that last name), is a habitual woman beater. But instead of me talking about it, here’s the article I got from http://www.prowrestling.com from TMZ (which we all know I do not find reliable);
“Breaking News on a WWE Diva, New Report from TMZ
Date Added: August 06, 2012 Story By: Marc Middleton– TMZ is reporting the following:
“WWE diva Rosa Mendes told police her fiancé is a habitual woman-beater … and she’s afraid the guy will eventually try to kill her … this according to a police report obtained by TMZ.
And sources tell TMZ … the guy Mendes is afraid of is a former WWE talent.
According to the report, the San Antonio Police Dept. found Mendes crying in a bathroom stall at San Antonio International Airport late Sunday night, repeatedly stating that she needed help. Mendes had just flown from her home in Vegas to S.A. for a WWE event.
According to the police report, Mendes — real name Milena Roucka — told cops her fiancé had “hit her several times at their shared residence in Las Vegas.”
Sources connected to the case tell TMZ … Rosa’s fiancé is Andy Slocum … a former WWE talent who went by the stage name Jackson Andrews. Slocum was fired by the WWE in 2011 for breach of contract after continually blowing off sessions.
In the report, cops note Mendes was under the influence of alcohol at the time they made contact with her.
Cops say Mendes told them “she was afraid [her fiancé] would try and kill her. She also stated the abuse had been an on-going thing.”
S.A.P.D. spokesman Officer Matthew Porter tells us Mendes filed a battery report around 10:17 PM. Cops took roughly 30 photos of her body … which appeared to show bruising and scratches.
A rep for the WWE tells TMZ … “Milena Roucka contacted a WWE Talent Relations representative this morning to notify WWE that, upon her arrival in San Antonio last evening, she contacted police at the airport to report alleged domestic abuse that occurred just prior to her flight.”
The rep adds, “WWE is supportive of Rosa and will provide her with professional assistance.”
We reached out to Slocum for comment — so far, no response.””
That’s where she was this past Monday. I’m not a fan of her personally. I think she has no talent, but no woman deserves to be going through this. I wish her luck, and I hope she can get out of this relationship and not be one of those dumb women who go back to their abuser. I can say that because I was one of those dumb women, only the abuse wasn’t physical. It was emotional and a lot harder to prove.
Moving On….
Kia Stevens, formly WWE’s Kharma & TNA’s Awesome Kong, is on a quest for losing the weight she gained while being pregnant and the depression weight she gained after tragically miscarrying. She told sources that she was let go by the WWE because of the amount of weight she gained. Stevens left on good terms and hopes to return after getting back into ring shape. She wants to be healthy again and get back with the WWE. Stevens said that she gained a lot of weight while going through depression caused by the death of her baby. She had a hard time dealing with the loss, as imaginable. Kia Stevens has a lot of talent and I was sad to hear that she was let go, but I understand completely. What she was going through has been something any woman wanting to be or is already a mother dreads. The loss of their child.
Am I getting deep this week? I’m totally going soft. But what isn’t soft, is the the fact that Wade Barrett is on his way BACK to me…err…the WWE. We haven’t seen him since his unfortunate accident the night after the Elimination Chamber back in February. While he’s been away, he’s a surgery on his elbow, filmed a movie set for release next April, and is now sporting a beard, and looking fucking hotter than all get out. I think it’s because my boyfriend has some facial hair that I’m finding it extremely sexy on Barrett. A vignette was aired on RAW this week and he was wearing nothing but jeans, and well… that gets me every fucking time. A guy wearing nothing but jeans, and has bare feet. Only thing missing on Barrett was the bare feet. If he had, I think I would be a massive puddle of patheticness. And btw… Don’t tell my boyfriend, shhh!!
YES PLEASE!
All ladies may get off the Barrett Barrage, there is only room for one, and that is me.
It’s only Wednesday morning and look at me, I’m boogie-ing through this weeks edition and NXT, Superstars & SmackDown haven’t even aired yet! God I love it when I’m actually on the ball. It’s been a while, eh? Lol!
Is it just me, or does there seem to be something off with Randy Orton? I can’t quite pin-point it, but there just seems to be something missing. And NOOOO it isn’t his beard. I’m not sure if he’s not feeling it right now, or if something is just wrong. I could be imagining it. I’d love to know what any of you think about this? Care to let me know, just email or tweet me, information is at the bottom of The Skirt Sheet.
I see this has been going on for a while now, so I shall move forward with your Frank Eudy report. Oh this week was AWESOME!!! Frank got put on the block for the third time. Out of 34 Days he’s spent 22 days on the block to be evicted. Danielle put Frank up against Wil after she promised Wil before she won Head of Household that she wouldn’t. I think I may have reported this last week, so consider this a recap. The Power of Veto happened which Danielle won, but Frank got stuck with the Spirit-tard. The Big Brother cheerleader outfit that he has to wear for an entire week.
(Frank, his former coach Mike Boogie, and Boogie’s other team member, Ian)
Miracles of all miracles, Mike Boogie and Frank, managed to talk Danielle into putting up Janelle. Janelle was in season 6 & 7 (all-stars), and is considered the best player to play the game, although she’s never won Big Brother she was one of the most popular. I can’t figure out why she is popular because she’s a two-faced plastic bimbo. She’d make a good WWE Diva come to think of it. Anyways, so Boogie (winner of season 7 All-Stars) and Frank were successful and during the POV ceremony, Danielle took off Wil from the block and shocked Janelle by putting her up next to Frank. I believe her comments were, “I’m shocked. If I had known I was going to be nominated, I would have put on some make-up and wore a cute outfit.” AND THIS WOMAN IS A MOTHER? That poor kid. She’s doomed. Anyways, so this past Thursday was the live show, where they evict one of the two house guests who are up on the block, and then play to see who will win Head of Household (HOH). All week, the house guests were avoiding Janelle who was up everyone’s ass trying to find out how everyone was voting. She honestly thought she had everyone’s but Boogie’s vote. Joke was on her when host, Julie Chen, announced “with votes 8 to 1….Janelle you have been evicted from the Big Brother House.” AND FRANK RIDES AGAIN!!!! GO FRANK! GO FRANK! GO-GO-GO FRANK!!! OHHHH-HOOO but it isn’t over yet folks. Nope. During the HOH competition, Boogie and Frank were against each other and Boogie threw the competition to allow Frank to have a chance at winning it. AND HE DID!!! Now I was so happy I think I may have motor-boated my boyfriend’s arm pit, but I can’t be sure.
But FRANK EUDY, son of Sid Vicious (Sycho Sid, Sid Justice), is safe for at least another week. He won’t be on the block this week. But I’m curious to see if he and Boogie will break their “Silent Six” deal with Danielle, Dan, Britney & Shane. Personally, I wouldn’t. Not yet. However, if they are going to, back door Shane. He’s the biggest threat in the house. I wouldn’t let Shane play for the POV, because he’s won every single won except the one Danielle won this past week.
That’s it for this weeks Skirt Sheet. I’m super excited because next week my beautiful niece, Kaitlyn, will be here from Alberta. Remember the wonderful article she wrote about CM Punk for school, that I published after she got it back? That’s my Mini- Me! I can’t wait. She gets to meet Mat and hang with me. Because, In Life…There Are Winners, and There Are Losers….Be Jealous and Be Sexy!

Laurinaitis Sucks, Cena’s Divorce & more!!
Happy Mother’s Day out there to all you Mom’s! Y’all deserve it! Raising kids and being the best parent that you can be is the toughest job out there and the pay sucks, but the benefits more than make up for it. We cherish and love our mom’s so much and thank-you for giving us life (and not actually taking it back when we do something wrong!) One day, I hope, I’ll get a chance for a mother’s day of my own. To all those mommies kicking asses and taking names, this blogs for you!
I’m not sure if this will turn out to be a traditional Dexter list because to be honest, I’m just really really pissed off tonight. Worst week at work, and it didn’t even start at work. It started because some morons in their father’s Lexus decided that it was fun to harass me at a gas station then proceed to follow me to work. Anyways, that’s been my week. It’s time to stick the duct tape over my victims mouths and get to work.
For those unfamiliar with the Dexter Skirt Sheet, should know one thing…It’s all in fun. It’s a hypothetical way for me to take out my frustration about wrestling in my blog. I do not condone or suggest that anything actually happens like this because that’s immoral, and wrong. I wouldn’t hurt them, I just get frustrated sometimes. However this will be the first time that Shawn Michaels, and Michelle McCool won’t be featured in the Dexter list. I’m not even sure if this is going to be a list in the traditional sense of the word. It might just be me über bitching. Well maybe until I get to Laurinaitis. That could get messy. Must remember to lay down the proverbial drop cloth.
I wasn’t overly impressed with RAW this week. It seemed to be the longest two hours ever. Everything was just completely dragged out and the matches were very lack luster.
The Miz putting Brodus Clay over, nearly made me want to vomit. The match just sucked! It’s obvious now more than ever that The Miz is not going back up to the top anytime soon. In fact, I think they are what I’m now referring to the “Getting Matt Hardy-ed.” Talented person, who pisses the officials off once and/or makes a boo-boo, and then gets punished by losing to subsequently untalented and waste of space performers that need to be put over but don’t deserve to be put over, and this goes on until the “Matt Hardy-ed” party’s contract is over or until they get fired. It seems ever since Miz, missed catching R-Truth, he’s been going straight down hill from the top. Accidents do happen, I truly believe that. Nobody is perfect. I have to deal with that in my own job. Apparently I’ve nearly been Matt Hardy-ed here because of one mistake. People expect you to be perfect, but if they want perfection, hire robots. Anyways, back to The Miz. Looking like an orange aside from too much spray tan this past Monday, he went out there and worked hard to make both himself and Clay look good. Judging from the fact that Clay sucks massive herpie inflamed balls that’s not easy to do. Either way, Miz deserved more from that match. He should have gotten the win over Clay. I get that the WWE wants to keep Clay as a monster in the ring and gentle dinosaur outside of the ring, but come the fuck on! Who is stupid enough to buy into this? The WWE is already recycling and old gimmick from the 80’s by stealing The Junk Yard Dog’s idea of bringing children into the ring to dance with them. I’m just waiting for some Church mother to freak out and start saying that Clay is a pedophile. That will put a stop to the Funkasaurus. What makes him funky anyways? Is it fromundacheese? Not even going to question why he’s a saurus. Think about it!
And for the record… I still think he looks more like Funky Kong from Mariokart than King Hippo from Tyson’s Knock-out game! Just sayin’! And we all know I’m always right.
Dolph Ziggler! A man who was once in the WWE championship picture. A question that still makes me wonder who did he blow to get put there. While you’re pondering that question, I’m going forward. I know that a lot of you think that Ziggler is talented but I find him inconsistent. This past week on RAW, he fucked up his finisher the Zig-Zag, which btw are rolling papers that a lot of people use to roll their fatties! The booking in this match sucked anyways. Kofi Kingston’s S.O.S is a great move that he rarely hits, and then Ziggler kicks out of it? Like WHAT THE FLYING FUCK BALLS WAS THAT ABOUT???? Nothing about this entire match made any sense. I felt like I was watching a TNA match. Kofi wasn’t the problem. He never is. But between the booking, and Ziggler, it made everything look like complete crap!
I am seriously starting to believe that I could run this company better than they are.
And what the hell is this A&W dude, or AW or Ass Wash, or whatever his name is. I’m sort of confused because wasn’t this guy Abraham Washington before. OMG I just got it! AW = Abraham Washington. Anyways the name isn’t important, what is, is apparently he’s building a stable. He’s got Primo, Epico and Rosa and maybe possibly Mason Ryan. You know what I’m thinking here… Anyone who goes with A&W/AW/Ass Wash/Abraham Washington, I bet eventually ends up on the “future endevoured” list. I see four people looking ready to get the boot.
Kaitlyn (not my niece but the WWE Diva) has an Adam’s apple. Just sayin’!
I’m still on the belief that current WWE Diva’s Champion, Layla, is going to hurt someone. She’s so sloppy. She’s been with the WWE for how long now? Six years. Six years and she has no fucking clue what she’s doing out there. She’s sloppy which means she can easily hurt someone. Someone with talent. Go back and dance for the mother ship of air heads. I’m tired of these shitty ditzy bitches coming into the wrestling world. Lets keep, Karma, Beth Phoenix, Natalya, and Tamina. Get rid of the rest. Offer Trish and Lita a contract to help out Fit Finlay train the few that might have a decent career like Kelly Kelly, Eve and maybe Layla. Get Mickie James, Tara (Victoria) and Gail Kim back. Allow them to have strong matches. Use them properly and promote them properly. Then steal Velvet Sky and Angelina Love and rebuild the Beautiful People. How much work would the WWE have to put into fixing the Diva’s division? Not much. Look how fucking easy I made it. It’s just the matter of dollars and contracts. But it’s not completely hopeless. Get writers specifically for the Diva’s. Have three or four writers coming up with ideas and storylines for the Diva’s. Slowly infuse them into the shows and each week I bet those girls will be taken seriously again.
I’m glad Paul Heyman is back. Not overly thrilled at how he came back. The wrestling genius showed up last Monday on behalf of Brock Lesnar. It’s clear that Heyman will work as a fill-in for Lesnar since the WWE only has a limited amount of dates they can use Lesnar for. I’m assuming Heyman is there to speak for Lesnar who apparently hasn’t learned the proper way to cut a promo. Heyman, is an excellent promo man. He often says what he wants and goes off the cuff quite often. However, I didn’t feel it this past Monday. I felt nothing from him. I get that he was suppose to be angry about the treatment of Lesnar, but there was so much more lacking from that promo.
I guess what I’m really doing is just “Dexter-ing” one person, really! Surprised? Well, why butcher Lesnar right now since he wasn’t on this past week and really I’ve actually annihilated him 3 weeks in a row. I’m giving myself a Lesnar break! Lol!!
John Laurinaitis: I certainly have better things to do with my time then listen John Laurinaitis verbally masturbate. Remember that drop cloth I mentioned before, time to lay that sucker down, and cover up because this is gonna get messy!!!!!!!!!! This self-serving son of a bitch has become what Eric Bischoff was to WCW. A poison. A cancerous strain that has been injected into the core of the WWE. Slowly killing the company. A company which I’ve been loyal to since I was a youngling. If WWE goes under because of Laurinaitis, I’m out of wrestling. I can’t take TNA. I can watch it here or there but not consecutively. I’m glad that Laurinaitis feels that he can get off by stroking his own ego and boost his self confidence but like any masturbatory admissions, nobody needs to see that. He’s talking about how he went into a fit of rage last week and attacked Cena, well that made me want to pee because I was laughing so hard at the absurdity of it all. If he wants to see what a true fit of rage is, I’ll show him. OK him showing up here and there was annoying but livable. Now he’s taking up like fifteen minutes of television where a perfectly good match could be placed. That fifteen minutes isn’t including all the backstage segments in which they stick him and Eve in. I want my fucking wrestling back, and less of that ball-fart Laurinaitis. The writers actually have something good going on with the GM gimmick right now, but unfortunately they don’t have anyone good enough to work it. No matter how much Laurinaitis thinks he’s talented, he’s less talented than a door knob that WON’T turn. I’m starting to go bat crap cray-cray here and it’s his fault. If they could have actually put someone in there with a bit of a personality then maybe this stupid GM shit wouldn’t be so unbearable. What do we have to do in order to restore the business? I’m tired of this shit. I’m tired of hearing that scratchy throat of his and now I want to cut it right out of him. That way, he can never talk again.
I wasn’t overly impressed with RAW or SmackDown, and I missed NXT and Superstars. So yeah!
I’m not really sure why Maxine from NXT is all of a sudden on RAW tagging with Natalya. Actually scratch that. As I wrote it, I figured it out, lol!! Beth Phoenix is “injured” and the Bella twats are gone (WHORE-YA), so there is a lack of heel Diva’s right now working in the division. Not sure if we will see Eve back in the ring as she’s got this “suck”-atary position going on under (yes I said under) John Laurinaitis. Whether or not they are going to turn AJ or Kaitlyn heel is unknown right now. They did waste a perfectly good spot on SmackDown this past week pitting those two against each other in what was not a wrestling match but more of a very weak chick fight. I almost had my friend Mat believing that AJ was twelve, but he’s too smart for me. Ha!
The end of RAW sucked pretty gnarly ass. I’m not sure how beneficial it is to not put over your WWE champion. I get that they want to keep Lord Tensai (Albert) undefeated, which is smart if they end up using him right (which they won’t), but still. Instead of Punk being pinned by Tensai, maybe they should have had Daniel Bryan go over Punk instead. At least then it adds that much fuel to Punk going into Over The Limit next Sunday. If Tensai pinned Punk, then he should be the one having the title match despite the Beat The Clock challenge from last week. That’s my opinion.
I was discussing with a facebook friend of mine about The SCORE’s AFTERMATH show they put on after they air SmackDown on Friday’s, and how much we both hate Renee. I’m so glad that someone actually agrees with me that she yells through the entire conversation and has absolutely no idea what is good and what is wrong with wrestling. She’s a fan of “The Funkasaurus” Brodus Clay. Like WTF is that? She thinks Sheamus is nothing. I mean why is she on there? Is she suppose to be pulling in the female viewers? Because if she is, chances are they are fans of the Bella Twins and Kelly Kelly. Because this BITCH ain’t watching and never will. Anyone know where I can apply for her job because I at least know what the hell I’m talking about!! I should know, I’ve been doing this blog for 6 years almost! Plus I’ve been watching since I was still in one piece pajamas with the feet on them! Yes! FEET! God I miss those! I had this pair of Smurf jammies and oh dear heaven they were comfy!
OK um, awkward!
In a month, I’ll be trekking down to see one of my best friends for the first time since meeting him 8 years ago online. You guys know and love him as Sarge. I can’t wait for that. I’m hoping we can do a youtube video edition of the Boot Camp/Skirt Sheet. It would be super froot! Plus I get to meet his babies! I’m so looking forward to snuggles from Kaden and Aly! And Mrs. Sarge and I have some massive shopping planned as well. Hurry up MAY! I can’t wait to get my vay-cay on!
I think that’s a great spot to call it a night. Because, In Life…There Are Winners, and There Are Losers….Be Jealous and Be Sexy!

BOOT CAMP
How’s it hangin’, hosers?
Actually, don’t answer that. The whole “hangin'” thing makes me think about certain parts of my anatomy. Parts that are currently under a baggie filled with frozen peas to help with swelling. I guess I should explain myself before this becomes any more uncomfortable.
Back on Wednesday, I had a vasectomy. It was a mutually agreed upon decision after we had my daughter. We had our little boy and our little girl, and we decided we were DONE. So, I figured the best time to get the procedure was while I was still on active duty. Since I am technically done with the Air Force as of June 6th, I wanted to get in there and have it taken care of as soon as possible. Sure, I was nervous. It’s freakin’ surgery….on my man parts! The very thought of it would make a lesser man cringe and run away with his wiener tucked between his legs….or, as I like to call it, a “drag queen starter kit”. But, I digress.
Anyway, I bit the bullet and went in there. I sat down and waited….and waited….and finally, they called me back to the room to get my gown on (the one where your ass hangs out the back) and get prepped. Let me tell ya, it wasn’t really quite as I had imagined it, or even how other people had described it. I felt a lot of really uncomfortable pressure and yes…some pain. It was NOT pleasant whatsoever, but I got through it, and now I can say….it has been done. No more kids for this crusty old Sergeant!
But, like I said, my wife and I are good with that. Two perfect, healthy and ridiculously adorable little ones are just enough for us.
But, hey!! What am I doing? Why am I telling you all this?? We are a wrestling blog, not a medical journal. The best I can do is relate this to wrestling by comparing it to the bit where Mr. Yamaguchi-san (from Kaientai) confronted Val Venis and said, “I choppy-choppy your pee-pee!”.
Well, they didn’t “choppy-choppy” anything. One tiny incision, two stitches. That’s all it was, in the end. Sure, my “McNuggets”
will never be the same, but it’s still a Happy Meal, baby! Super-size that bitch! Well, not for a few more weeks, that is. I need my time to heal.
Speaking of needing time to heal, I think I need to change the subject before we lose all our male readers with all this wiener surgery talk. I know we’re all adults here, but there are some things even the most macho of us “men-folk” can’t stomach for very long.
==============================
Looks like my balls weren’t the only ones having a bad week. Anyone remember “Rimjob” from last year’s WWE Tough Enough? The former Miss USA? She was sentenced this week for her arrest back in December for driving drunk with a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit in the state of Michigan. Fakih was given six months probation, 20 hours of community service, and $600 in fines and costs.
I think it’s safe to say we all dodged a bullet when she was eliminated from Tough Enough. If this is her lifestyle and she is going to get nabbed for such stupid and completely avoidable shit like this, she would have been “future endeavored” long before she ever saw the light of a WWE arena.
==============================
Being the MF’n king of segues, the guy who actually won last season’s Tough Enough, “Big Andy” Leavine was released from WWE about two weeks ago (April 23, 2012). You gotta love how people go through all that trouble to win a competition like Tough Enough and then never amount to a pile of bunny turds!
==============================
Remember not long ago, just before WrestleMania, when The Rock sang about basically screwing Cena’s wife? Well, he didn’t, but he might just as well have because news broke earlier this week of John Cena filing for divorce from his wife (and high school sweetheart), Liz. No real details were given, but no doubt the life of a sports entertainer, the long hours on the road and the hectic schedule just finally broke the couple apart. It happens all the freakin’ time. Seems not even “super Cena” is impervious to the effects his life has on his personal relationships.
But, as if there aren’t enough comparisons and similarities between Cena and Hulk Hogan, Liz Cena has hired prominent attorney Raymond Rafool, who also represented Linda Hogan in her divorce.
Creepy, isn’t it?
I guess even his wife got tired of choking on the Kung Pow chicken after all this time. Hope Cena has fun doing the Five Knuckle Shuffle…….
Nah, it’s too easy!
==============================
So, who else thinks that the news of Brock Lesnar quitting WWE last Monday night is all a huge pile of bullshit? I’m not believing for one second that he only came back for a month to have one match against John Cena and break Triple H’s arm before leaving again.
==============================
One last thing for this week, it appears to me that Eve has come down with an incurable case of Bella Syndrome. She’s the latest WWE Diva to have fallen out of usefulness in the ring and assigned a role to portray backstage. However, instead of having her lurk around aimlessly, they gave her a fancy new job title and have her dress like a naughty librarian…which I am not completely against. She’s not my favorite Diva by any means, but I wouldn’t kick her out of my bed. Just sayin’….
But, this all seems to point to an inevitable “future endeavoring” in the near future. It happens all the time. When people stop seeing as much ring time and are given a more backstage presence, it generally means they are on the chopping block. I guess we will have to wait and see what really happens, but if you wake up one day, check your Facebook or Twitter feed and get the news of Eve being FE’d, well…..just remember, I told you so!
==============================
You know what? I’m done for this week! Sure, I might have more I could possibly talk about, but I don’t want to give it all away at one time. I mean, don’t even get me started about John Laurinaitis being Cena’s opponent at Over The Limit…and how fucking retarded that idea is.
Anyway, I’m going to get out of here for now. I’ll be back next week unless I happen to suck at budgeting my time and let a thunderstorm stop me from getting my article done when I had the time to work on it. Yeah, that’s what happened last week! I totally botched that one like a freakin’ BOSS! This week, I didn’t even let getting neutered stand in the way of bringing this thing to all of you!
You damn well better appreciate this!
But, I’ll see you all back here next time. Until then….YOU’RE DISMISSED!!
Oh! One last thing. It has come to my attention that, in the past month or so, our numbers have been going up considerably. The number of people who visit this blog each week, that is. It has jumped to levels I never imagined. Lord knows who actually read this stuff, but I just wanted to say….to all of you who are….

That’s it for this weeks edition. Next week we will have our WWE Over The Limit PPV predictions. Sorry to all those TNA fans who missed our predictions this week, but truth be told, I forgot. And Greg reminded me way too late for me to go digging. So Next week the Skirt Sheet will have the low down TNA’s ppv (whatever the name is this month, haha). Cheers!

WWE Elimination Chamber Predictions & More…
Hey yo! What up peeps?! I think we’re back to normal this week. Well, minus Sarge, so I guess not so back to normal. Or maybe we are??? I just confused myself. Anyways, we have our WWE Elimination Chamber predictions for you all, there are only four matches booked I highly suspect they will add some on Sunday.
-The Broski Round-Table with Dashing Kevin Walsh:
Challenges are something we all have to overcome in our lives. Some aren’t easy and some are, but some of us have to overcome the simplest of challenges. For me, it’s the challenge to take care of myself and to put myself before others. I’m always trying to rescue and fix other people in my life, avoiding my own problems. I essentially procrastinate on myself. What does this have to do with wrestling? I think the topic of challenges speaks for itself. As wrestling fans we have to overcome the challenge to stay fans because it’s something we love. It’s the challenge of surviving the frustrations of story lines that make zero sense to us, and eventually never do in the long run. Unlike life, wrestling is predetermined. Also unlike life, it’s not predetermined by us. Relationships with other people are determined by us. You choose who you want to let in. Generally people who respect you. Love you and care about you. But every once in a while someone who says they care about you sneaks in. They disrupt your lives, kind of like one bad choice in wrestling. If the wrong wrestler gets put in a match, it disrupts everything us fans look forward to. That one person who sneaks into your life, not only disrupts what you have going on, but it jumbles your thoughts. Confuses you, and sometimes tricks you into believing they are there for you, when really it’s you who are there for them. Wrestling is the same way. As a fan, you see potential in a lot of the wrestlers. You want to see them get their time in the spotlight. And one day you get a taste of that. They are tangling with the main event boys, only to be tossed aside and forgotten. Knocked back down to the mid-card spot. Dashing your hopes and expectations. Unfortunately some of us have a lot of that in our everyday lives. We use wrestling as an escape, only to sometimes feel those same feelings. So with that, I guess it’s time for me to stop being profound and shut it and get to bidness.
My challenge is talking about the shit that the WWE seems to be handing out this week. But before I get to that, I must talk about Vince Russo. So most of you probably know that TNA “future endevoured” Russo last week. This is good news for TNA, as they were clearly having issues keeping storylines straight. Russo was once a master at his craft. One of the greatest creative writers for both WWF/E and WCW at one time. The true leader of the Monday Night Wars if you will. If it wasn’t for him pushing the envelope, WWE would still be floundering with their own storylines and likely non-existent today. However, along the way, Russo lost his mo-jo. He couldn’t write a pig out of a box. He simply kills everything he touches now. I’m surprised that TNA is still going as the next promotion behind the WWE because they were having serious issues with their creative. One week one guy was a heel the next week he was a face. She was facing off with her, and the next week they were knockout tag team champions. It literally was a mess and Russo being let go is a blessing for TNA.
Judging from the shit the WWE pulled this week I wouldn’t be surprised if he wrote it. Randy Orton suffered a concussion from the shot to the head with the World Championship belt by Daniel Bryan on RAW this past Monday, therefore he is unable to compete in the Elimination Chamber this Sunday. On SmackDown they had a battle royal to determine the replacement for Orton. And instead of putting someone over who has an existing storyline with someone already in the chamber, or someone who is much more credible, they put over Santino Marella. So Marella will be taking the place of Orton in the chamber. The SmackDown chamber match looks like this… Daniel Bryan defending his World heavyweight Championship against, Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes, Big Show, Khali (who replaced Mark Henry) and Santino Marella (who replaced Randy Orton). Is this a match anyone wants to see? I don’t think so. Unless the WWE has a plan to take out Santino at the last minute alá Edge taking out Kofi a few years ago, then the entire match is completely fucked. Is there not a plethora of superstars that could have been chosen over Marella? OK, maybe not a plethora but enough. Justin Gabriel would not only bring a bit of excitement to the dull match, but he is sort of in a storyline with Cody Rhodes, and this match could help push that along. He could eliminate Rhodes and then get eliminated himself. Sheamus could have been in there since he has a bit of storyline with Wade Barrett, not only that, he is going into Mania as one of the top headliners (OK not really, since it will be all Rock vs. John Cena), where is his match this weekend? And since he hasn’t chosen which championship he is going after at Mania, what is the harm of him going into the Chamber? It’s not like they have never done that before, right? Ted DiBiase is a great choice as well. Hunico. As much as I dislike Hunico, like Gabriel he can bring some high flying excitement to the match. And if Alberto Del Rio or Christian are set to return (that I have no official idea) one of them would be an obvious choice. Rumour has it, Mark Henry is going to take out Marella or Khali and enter anyways. Brace yourselves, I am about to say something that is virtually unheard of coming from me. Mark Henry taking either Marella or Khali out would be a blessing. Yep, I just said that. I would just like to state that I don’t really have a major problem with Santino Marella as a wrestler, because he is a solid in-ring worker, when he isn’t pulling a sock decorated like a cobra out of his pants, or doing that stupid marching band trombone thing he does. If the WWE would just let him do less comedy and do more actual wrestling, and stop making him look like a fucking douche turd, then maybe this addition to the match wouldn’t be so moronic. Seeing as how to hell this match has gone, to me it seems it has Russo all over it. Ewww! Lol!
What this says about the WWE is that they are putting less effort into SmackDown then they should be. There lack of time and energy shows they could care less. SmackDown has a roster of guys who either aren’t used properly, if at all, or guys who are always being used that most of us no longer bother watching for. They need to think hard about a solution to this problem. Maybe going live on Friday’s would increase their viewer-ship. Spoilers wouldn’t get out (as much), fans at home are more likely to tune in if there is small chance of a surprise return. Why bother tuning in if you find out on Wednesday morning how the Tuesday tapings went? Ditch the roster split. They pretty much have already anyways. I understand why they split the roster, but do they have to use their top stars every single episode? Cena and Kane could carry their storyline on SmackDown Friday’s then the following Monday. Orton and Barrett could be on the Monday that Cena and Kane aren’t on. Push some of the mid-card talent up to fill in some of the main event guys spots, allowing them to get some television time, and time in front of the fans that you, as a company, are trying to sell to. Sure I’ve seen Tyson Kidd have a good match on television, but maybe Herbert hasn’t. Yet here I sit, selling the fact that Kidd is an amazing in-ring worker and Herbert is thinking, Bull shit. Why because he hasn’t seen it. Because Kidd’s not on television that much. The stupid web shows of NXT and Superstars may as well bugger the fuck off because outside of the United States we other fans cannot watch them. “Video cannot be viewed in your country”. WTF is that? The only time I get to see the matches on Superstars is if I’m actually at a live taping or airing of one of the WWE’s television shows. I’m sorry but some good matches are apparently being shown on the show that we Canadians don’t get see.
Who did Zack Ryder piss off? Or was it him at all? Maybe his out pouring of support from the fans pissed off someone higher up. My theory is he was never suppose to be on anything other than Superstars and the fans got behind him because of his web show. And like how we got behind Christian and pushed for him to become champion, and then he’s back to virtually where he was before he finally got the championship. We fans push and bitch so much the WWE puts a title on that person one time to shut us up, and then punishes them. Maybe us fans who demanded for Ryder to be pushed, is now being punished. He had to have been punished because how much can someone with a “broken” back take every few weeks? He’s been dropped off the loading docks, beat up in the ring by Kane, pushed off the stage at RAW, by Kane. His romance with Eve has been halted. He keeps getting his ass handed to him. And I’m about to hand his ass back to him. Lol!!
I noticed Zack Ryder walking to the ring on crutches (trust me, crutches suck), and I couldn’t help but (pardon the pun) notice his ass…
He has a butt pussy!!! It looks like a damn vagina sticking out his ass!!! That’s enough to get him a contract with a traveling freak show if this wrestling thing doesn’t pan out. “Man with butt vajayjay, don’t believe it, come and see!” Well, I had my fun. Moving on.
The only match I seem to be looking forward to is Beth Phoenix defending the Diva’s Championship against Tamina Snuka. WWE’s Hall of Fame’s Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka’s daughter. Tamina has been on a role lately and it’s been fantastic to see. If things continue in this direction we might get a Diva’s WrestleMania match that is worth watching. I love it when there is that anticipation of a strong Diva’s feud with Diva’s who actually deserve it. This match will either rock or suck badly. If it is booked right, then it’s going to rock. But a lot of the times the WWE take a Diva’s match that is surrounded in so much potential and ruin it. Actually it doesn’t even have to be a Diva’s match, they are pretty consistent at doing that with other matches involving their male superstars.
Speaking of awesome diva’s… Where is Kharma? (See what I did there?)
I always try to give credit where I believe credit should be due. And I believe the in-ring promo on Monday by Shawn Michaels and Triple H was very well done. They each played on emotion and maybe even a touch of truth. By truth I mean Triple H basically confirming what most of us fans have feared, eventually taking over the company. We all sort of knew that already, we all just sort of hoped it wasn’t going to happen. Anyways, Shawn kept pushing for Triple H to take on the Undertaker and Triple H kept saying it was bad for business. Blah-blah-blah the word coward got tossed around more times than it was affective. But that capped the promo off to become pretty strong was the end when a video aired, featuring The Undertaker taking a straight-edged razor to his hair. To this I say, do you really think it’s necessary to thin out your wig? Scissors would have been more obvious as to what you planned on doing. I am now expecting to see The Undertaker with a nicely layered bob when he finally shows up next. I was seriously trying to be serious and it just went straight to hell. Ma’ bad? This could go one of a few ways… 1)At WrestleMania 28 we get Undertaker vs. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels, 2) Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels in a match that Shawn feels he needs to vindicate the business and his friend Triple H (highly unlikely), 3) Undertaker vs. Triple H, loser wears a suit match…nah, just kidding. At least about the loser wears a suit stipulation. However it would actually turn out that way. Either way, I don’t want to see this match at all no matter the combination. I have ALWAYS been a fan of The Undertaker, and I’m thinking this is his last match, and I do NOT want to see the streak end at 19-1. I want it to be a perfect 20-0, it’s not just because I have a thing with uneven numbers. Yeah, I’m a wee bit OCD, I can’t help it.
Look at it this way, If The Undertaker isn’t 100% healthy, going into a match one-on-one with Triple H, or anyone for that matter, could be rather risky. By adding a third participant that would allow Undertaker various rest periods so that it prevents what happened last year. However, doing a triple threat takes away some of the drama that should be focused on The Undertaker’s career and streak. For a fan, I don’t want to see a him facing either or both Shawn Michaels or Triple H for a third time. He’s had two opponents in the last three years. It would be nice to see him help make a new star, or at least get a good match out of someone he has faced only ONCE before that he may not have had the best match out of. See him fight someone new or new-ish! I’m getting so tired of repetition.
OMG I think I wrote this same thing last week. Well….there’s irony for ya!
I would like to say that Chris Jericho and Kofi Kingston put on a solid match last Monday night on RAW. The two of them did a decent job and was the best match of the night. Too bad it was spawned out of the worst opening segment. That debate was bogus, as we all know it wouldn’t have been any other way. Was it just me, or was R-Truth on something? I couldn’t understand a bloody thing that man was saying. I thought he said he was going to trade Dolph Ziggler and Vickie Guerrero over to SmackDown for Hornswoggle (which was funny) and a box of “spotters”. I’m sitting here at work watching it and thinking, what in the flying blue hell are “spotters”? Finally it dawned on me… SPIDERS!!! Granted that wasn’t the only thing Truth said that I didn’t understand but hey, nothing new there, right? Lol!!
Wow, is EVE not the WORST actress ever? Her begging to Zack Ryder for forgiveness after sucking John Cena’s face off. I SAID FACE!!! Sickos! It was horrific! So bad that I let out a loud, “HA!” in the middle of the lobby. SMH! Seriously that was bad. About as nasty as her ass crack showing up on RAW a bit later.
So I have had a hat-trick of tweets or re-tweets from wrestlers or diva’s this week. On Wednesday I tweeted about Lilian Garcia’s new single “Ur girl (til the end of the world) on Twitter and she re-tweeted me;
Then Thursday night I randomly wrote about Dexter to Matt Hardy who was apparently bored with his cardio work out and he re-tweeted me;
Then Friday evening, I did a #FollowFriday, with Matt and some other friends and wrestlers, and Matt Hardy tweeted me back;
A HAT TRICK!!! Yes I’m a nerd. I consider this to be a pretty good week under the mounds of crap I’ve had to put up with.
Working on a new friendship. I’ve sort of known this guy for a few years as he works across the street from my former residence. Lately we’ve been chilling and yapping. I’m excited about this budding friendship as I feared I had forgotten how to make friends with people. Lmao!
With that said. I think I’m out this week you guys. I can’t continue any further. I will say this though… I am seriously pulling for Wade Barrett in the Elimination Chamber this Sunday at the pay-per-view. Because, In Life…There Are Winners, and There Are Losers….Be Jealous and Be Sexy!

Hey everybody welcome to another edition of Have a Nice Day!! How is everyone’s week going so far? Did everyone enjoy “Single Awareness Day” this week? I guess I did. I worked mostly. So I got to see the couples come in to our place to go to our restaurant for dinner. It was good.
Did anyone watch RAW and Smackdown this week?! I watched RAW. I haven’t watched Smackdown yet but I did read some spoilers. There was one big spoiler which I cannot understand. Why did Santino get the spot in the Elimination Chamber match?! That makes no sense whatsoever! Santino shouldn’t be in the main event. He is over yes but that doesn’t mean he should be in there. There are so many other wrestlers who should have been put in place for instance Christian! Why not him? Last I heard he was ready to come back. I should say the only reason why there is an opening because Randy Orton suffered a concussion on Monday. So he isn’t able to compete. This is going to hurt the match even more.
On RAW this week we got to see The Miz tap out to CM Punk which confirms that The Miz is in the dog house after last week’s situation. But maybe it will only be a one thing punishment. The Miz has a done a lot for WWE so hopefully they will look at the things he has done outside of the promotion and take that for consideration. We also got to see Chris Jericho vs. Kofi Kingston. That was a really good match and Jericho got the win. I still think it will be Jericho walking out with the WWE Championship this Sunday. R-Truth vs. Dolf Ziggler also happened and Truth got the clean win. I’m surprised about that one. I thought it would go the other way.
Also we got more of the awesome storyline of Kane/Cena/Ryder/Eve! Yay! Not really. It just turned into a soap opera that went bad! LOL I know my soaps and this was so predictable that it wasn’t even funny. Arg. Kane ended up locking up Eve in an ambulance and was about to drive away with her. Cena came to her rescue and she jumped into his arms. Next thing you know they were kissing! Then the camera pans towards Zack Ryder and he was pissed off seeing his best friend making out with his girlfriend. Then I knew at that point Zack had embraced the hate that Kane was spreading around! LOL It didn’t work on Cena but it worked on Zack. Of course later in the night Zack confronts Cena about what happened earlier in the night. Cena was going to punch Zack but couldn’t do it. Then Zack left in his wheelchair and was about to leave the ramp area when Kane came back and pushed Zack onto the floor. The landing of it looked pretty sick. He took a pretty good bump from it. Then Cena and Eve just looked in horror as they see Zack just lying there.
One of the funny things that have come out of this is the tweets Zack Ryder is tweeting and CM Punk responding to him saying he has his back! LOL Oh CM Punk you’re awesome! It is nice to see how they are continuing the storyline over Twitter. Great stuff.
It was announced earlier this week that Vince Russo is done with TNA. I guess they decided it was time to let him go. I guess it should be a better thing for TNA. Now only if they can get rid of Bischoff and Hogan from there they will be so much better off! But I don’t see that happening at all. Well not in the near future.
Congrats to New Jersey. They will be hosting WrestleMania 29 at the Metlife Stadium. It is supposed to hold up to 70, 000 fans. That is a huge stadium. It will be taking place on Sunday April 7th, 2013. The only problem with having an outside event like this, you never know what kind of weather they will have. I know April can be mild, cold, raining and snowy too! So who knows maybe it will be the first WrestleMania to have a snowstorm. LOL But in all seriousness I hope it turns out well for them.
Okay folks this is it for this week. I hope you all have a nice day!! J
