Didn't get a chance to watch any WWE this week. work schedule has changed again so monday nights are out and I went to a concert last night so no SD. At the moment I'm not too upset about missing Raw and that's saying something. Aside form CM Punk, Jericho and a few others, Raw has lost it's "must watch" appeal to me. At least SD is somewhat more consistent in being good and watchable.

What are some changed that you think the WWE needs to make to improve? I know it's a broad question but there has to be some decent ideas that could be made for it. Not having their announcers trash the performers would be a good start.

Why do you fuckers continue to troll me?

Have new Punk shirts coming though that I got a good deal on that...that shall soothe the hate.

You'll have to excuse me; this redesign has me in awe atm.

Lemme start off by saying..........GODDAMMIT!!!!!! The whole WWE just trolled us big time, and it wasn't pleasant. So we're still stuck with Laryngitis for god-only-knows-how-long. Wonderful.......this had BETTER lead up to something worth it from Punk or something.

I'm so glad Barrett has basically cemented himself as a top guy at this point. It's well-deserved.

I'm also glad Sheamus is not only probably going to be holding gold again soon, but that he's been paying tribute to his fellow Irishman as of late. Shame on you, WWE, for not acknowledging when we all know damn good & well that he's using Finlay's moves!

What the fuck are you doing to Natalya's career, you fools!? She's one of your best actual wrestlers in the division, and you reduce her to GAS ISSUES!?!?!?!?!?!?

Now, onto a few other matters I came across recently. The only reason I didn't link directly is the post won't go through due to unclosed tags........that ARE closed..........:

While on a 4-day TVTrope binge (DAMN YOU EVIL SITE!!!!!), it led me to this little bit of information. I knew Impact was run by whackjobs, but this is downright disturbing! How the fuck are they still in business?

Also, while reading that, I came across, on a much lighter note, this. Well-deserved, and maybe a tad overdue.

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!

Get Cole off our screens. At this point, I don't much care is he's a nice guy irl & is just being forced to be this douchey, or if he really is that douchey; if Waltman can't shake off his X-Pac Heat after all these years, neither will Cole, unless by some incomprehensible miracle.

Dammit, I screwed up the post; ignore the part about the links not wanting to go through; I figured out what the problem was.

Whoops.

Quote of the week:

"Randy Orton has more nicknames than John Cena has wrestling moves."

"...One?"

Also, dat RKO botch. Looked like Orton rolled his ankle pretty good there.

Yeah. that was such a bad botch, and Cole going along with it and calling it a successful RKO was painful to watch.

Speaking of Orton, he's injured.

Sorry, wrong link. It won't let me paste it for some reason so I have to type it out.

Huh, I thought that RKO looked horribly off................wait a fucking minute, here, so lemme get this straight:

Henry is injured, and replaced by Khali, who I thought was retired. Now Orton's injured, and replaced by Henry, who was replaced to begin with? My head asploded.

That will add a whole new dimension to wrestlemania!

So, what happened to the guy that won Tough Enough? Is he still down for a WWE deal or what?

Andrew "Andy" Leavine[1] (born December 27, 1987)[2] is an American professional wrestler. Leavine won WWE Tough Enough in 2011 to earn a contract with WWE, and wrestles for WWE's developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling under the ring name Kevin Hackman.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Santino doesn't make it into the chamber.. Mark Henry to take him out and lock himself in the chamber. We've seen this all before.

Santino? Really? This was the best guy they could come up with for the Chamber? I like Santino and all but not as a main event type. My guess is that he will be eliminated early, or liek someone suggested, get taken out before the match and replaced.

SD was decent though other than the battle royal results I can't think of something that truly stands out. I hope Drew breaks his losing streak soon.

I hope Drew takes Santino out and forces his way in off the back of the whole "needing to prove himself" storyline. This also could give him a quick and winnable feud with Santino that will allow him to look like a dominant and killer heel in that he just destroys Santino on his way back up the card into more credible feuds and matches. It's ridiculous he didn't win the BR to begin with!

At 4 hours ago, aviewaskewed wrote: It's ridiculous he didn't win the BR to begin with!

Eh, was thinking the same thing, but look at it this way. Once he starts winning, he's got to keep up the win streak, and by winning that battle royal he'd have to win the Elimination Chamber and go on to main event Wrestlemania. He's obviously not ready for it yet.

He'll get his win streak and push when the time comes.

Hopefully.

Stop posting on my fucking account. There is a button up top that says "Log Off" for a reason, you know?

My inner child wants to get back into wrestling, but I tuned into Smackdown! recently and didn't recognise anything/one. I think the last time I watched wrestling Brock Lesner was champ and he had a serious rivalry with Rey Mysterio going on.

What have I missed?

The RAW elimination chamber match was fantastic. Bit too over the top with Chris Jericho, but I didnt see the way it ended coming.

Cena vs Kane should not have been the main event of that PPV.
I am so over Kane. This feud is reaching Kane vs Edge levels of unbearable.
Get all the way out of here with that shit.

Daniel Bryan wins? Really? REALLY!?
I would have rather had Santino win, he is a more believable champion.
The Cobra is a more credible move then the labell lock.
Get all the way out of here with that shit.
Sheamus title reign will be such a welcome relief.

Jericho vs Punk for wrestlemania. I'm cool with that.

So, I really hoped for Santino to come from behind. I mean, I'm stoked for Punk vs Jericho, but for Santino to do so well, I really hoped for an underdog victory at either last night's Elimination Chamber, or tonight's Main Event

Missed the EC and I also missed RAW. Anybody want to fill me in real quick?

EC - Everyone retains, Cena beats Kane in the ambulance match

Raw - Jericho vs Punk, Sheamus vs Bryan, Rock vs Cena, and HHH vs Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match all lined up for wrestlemania. Aside from that, just a couple of promos and bits on the mic that were fairly funny.

Total lack of Funkasaurus, bit disappoint. I mean, I still cant get over the total 180 they did with Brodus Clay but it's certainly hilarious.

I'm so happy to see this sort of change in Cena, it's starting make me like his character again. Cena is a phenomenal wrestler, a wonderful performer in the ring, but his character was getting old with this goody two shoes look, so it's nice to see this sort of change in him.

Also I hope the Cena and Kane feud is done with now. It was weird, strange, and just didn't work. But hey I guess you needed some sort of filler for Cena to feud, I mean as Cena put it... The Rock isn't here now is he? I especially loved when Cena said.

"Vince is probably gonna fine me for saying this, but I think the only reasons The Rock came back was to promote Fast 5 and his Twitter account."

I just loved that and can't wait to see what The Rock has to say next week.

Daniel Bryan needs to go over hard in his WrestleMania match. The guy's riegn has been win by DQ, win by DQ... Win by DQ a few matches against people like Cody and Kofi to put him over, but's we know that they are giuys that we know Daniel can and has beat. He need to make Sheamus tap out. Crazy idea right? But this kind of get out of everything heel is what killed The Miz's reign.

Fuck that. Daniel Bryan needs to sell like a fucking bitch and put Sheamus over.

Daniel Bryan is one of the few people to make his WrestleMania debut (the dark match doesn't count) as World Champion. The others being Flair, Sgt. Slaughter and someone else whose name escapes me... I think it was Nash... Ugh.

Just saw Cena's WM promo from raw this week.

This might just be the John Cena we've been waiting for.

I want to tell you guys a little something interesting about Cena. I'm sure you all know that he went to Springfield College in Mass. He played football there. Center. The football coach at my high school played quarterback at Springfield College. They were teammates. Supposedly the rapper gimmick that Cena had when he came to WWE, he actually acted like that in real life as a college kid.

And if you didn't see this coming...heeeeere's your sign. Ditto that if you don't see this ending the minute Rock is out of the picture again and not feuding with Cena, I have a whole different sign lined up for you. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. They aren't going to get me 3 times.

Cena is a phenomenal wrestler,

Yeah no...not even in developmental or before he made it big in WWE.

a wonderful performer in the ring,

Again, no. I can probably name 10 guys better then him, and probably don't even have to look outside WWE's current roster to find them.

but his character was getting old with this goody two shoes look, so it's nice to see this sort of change in him.

Unfortunately it's temporary. They know his weak Hulk Hogan lite shit will do nothing against The Rock and they'd never be able to make him look equal to Rock. Thus there'd be no chance of putting Cena over him. Once that's done though, they'll go right straight back to dumbassery...like they did after Mania last year...and then like they did once he stopped feuding with Punk.

Also I hope the Cena and Kane feud is done with now.

Oh yes. We're totally focused on Cena/Rock now and that final push.

It was weird, strange, and just didn't work.

It's WWE's attempt to "make movies" and give Cena something to do to keep him strong prior to Rock...yeah, that wasn't a good idea at all.

But hey I guess you needed some sort of filler for Cena to feud, I mean as Cena put it... The Rock isn't here now is he? I especially loved when Cena said.

I'm getting kind of tired of that schtick really. It's been said to death, and even though a lot of guys in the back agree, I have a hard time believing any of them (except maybe Punk and Bryan) wouldn't do exactly what Rock did if they had the chance.

"Vince is probably gonna fine me for saying this, but I think the only reasons The Rock came back was to promote Fast 5 and his Twitter account."

I just loved that and can't wait to see what The Rock has to say next week.

It should be good...I also wish WWE would get off Twitter's nuts...other then Punk's issue with Chris Brown (which was not WWE directed) what has plugging the fuck out of Twitter really done to help WWE's awareness and give them any tangible benefit?

I imagine the producers incorporate Twitter into the show in order to make themselves feel responsive to changes in the media landscape.

Fans will Tweet about the show regardless of how producers handle it, but I can easily imagine engagement being increased by the show's dynamic interaction with trends and what not. I imagine people will be more inclined to post tweets about the show if they believe members of the show will actually read their messages.

This is beneficial to the show as a higher number of tweets directly leads to greater exposure.

The techniques being used by producers are hack-handed at best and all in all the, ROI is probably minimal at best. But it does demonstrate some endearing attempt at modernization from the WWE.

So, anybody hoping that this 'GM War' that's started ends with Teddy in charge of both shows? Or is Teddy about to retire (he's been there quite a while), and are they using this to get him off SD? Which means we'd be stuck with Laryngitis twice a goddamn week.......... :(

If Cena would just stick with what we saw on RAW, there wouldn't be anybody chanting that he sucks.

I'm a little worried for Kofi; Ron has already used up his 1st strike, and Kofi just got done losing a tag team partner after 2 strikes. While I like the idea of them as a team, I'm still a little paranoid about it.

20-0, and then most likely Taker will retire. You all know this will happen, so ENJOY THIS MATCH LIKE NOTHING ELSE.

Chris Brown can go fuck himself. Regardless, just how did this start, again?
