I think if the suits figured Eva Marie would go out there and pull a Jackie Gayda, they were sadly mistaken. From what I watched of the match she didn't do too bad. Granted she stuck to the basics (which is all I'm guessing she knows). But she didn't kill anyone with a headlock takedown or anything so that's a plus.
Jo Jo didn't even get into the match. Why even have it as a six woman match anyway. Is she even going to be a wrestler for them? AJ is small, but Jo Jo's size in comparison makes AJ look like a bah gawd hoss in comparison.
As for the rating, simple explanation is they dicked Bryan around for too long. He should have kept the belt at Summerslam and kept thwarting all of Triple H and Stephanie's plans. Honestly I'd put blame on Bryan having to feud with Orton rather than Bryan being a flop. Wrestling wise they have great matches together. But storywise, there's nothing that makes me want to see these two keep fighting.

Poor Brad Maddox looked like that farmer after morbidly obese Homer Simpson irrated the crops.
Aww no, Triple H is gonna have mah legs broken.
Man this ppv was horrible outside of The Rhodes Family vs. The Shield. Ah it if was the mid 80's, it would have been inside of a cage and Dustin would have been bleeding a ton doing his best Ricky Morton impression (not to say he didn't do a good one tonight). I really was waiting for Triple H or someone to come out and screw them over and say they didn't get their jobs back because of some small technicallity. I guess that's tomorrow night. The Dweem has to beat Ambrose or something.
The Cesaro swing was amazing. Why they hell wasn't he made the new Paul Heyman guy? Don't get me wrong, I love him with Zeb. But man he should be in the middle of a huge IC title run right now. Speaking of We The People, it looks like the WWE is making their own Gadsen flags. Black with WE THE PEOPLE on them. Can't copyright something public domain? We'll see about that.
The main event was all right. Orton and Bryan mesh well together. But yeah that ending. Sending up a BS ending just for tv and another PPV at the end of the month. Are we sure Russo isn't secretly working for them? I thought the reign of Triple H would be alot smoother. Crazy Vince is still screwing with things.

Take a ride on the Dixie Train was one of the funniest unintentional lines I've ever heard. I could not stop laughing after hearing that. God bless Hulk Hogan. The man has guarenteed himself either a great moral victory for "not selling out" to Dixie or if he does return, we know he'll join with Dixie to do a screw job on AJ.
But man, watching TNA is like watching someone dying a slow death. You hold out hope that maybe something could happen, but deep down you know what the reality really is.

Leslie Nielsen's last role:
Try asking for a ticket for that at the box office.
I'm guessing that was supposed to be a link for An American Carol. It wasn't the Zucker's best parody, but it was certainly better than most of the other paordy films that have come out lately. Of course that isn't saying much.

I like how Dusty and Blackjack Mulligan beat a tag team called The Muslims. I wonder if they were masked men but wore boots like The Iron Shiek.

You don't have to eliminate the secondary titles, just put them all on the same guy. That way, Del Rio could start calling himself the US-Continental Heavyweight Champion. Maybe he could draw some heat then.
So he should just run with Lance Storm's WCW gimmick. He would need a stable of flunkies to pull that off. Too bad they took Ricardo away from him. Ricardo as the WWE Mexican Heavyweight Champion would be great.

They did a brief little tour of the WWE warehouse on YouTube and they keep absolutely everything.
They have a whole section dedicated just for used caskets from Undertaker matches.

Pump the brakes, forgot to bring this up ... why can WWE NOT do their own King of Trios? Wyatt family, the Rhodes', the Shield, the Matadores w Bull ... I'm blanking now, bc of fatigue, but hell it ain't like Chikara's doing anything w KOT anymore.
That's too rasslin for Kevin Dunn and Vince's taste's.
Man, outside of The Rhodes Family this show was so bleh. But I have it on the DVR so I'll give it another go since I can fast fw'd. Los Matadore's were pretty good though. I can't believe they didn't debut them against Zeb and The Real American's. The entrance was cool, but Cole and Lawler shitting all over it didn't help matters when even the crowd was laughing.
So since Bryan and Brie are getting married, are they getting married on RAW or the tv show? If it's RAW then of course Brie is turning on him. It's best for business.

Jesse choking out Todd was probably the most raw, emotional, personal way to kill someone. And after all the shit Todd put him through, Jesse deserved to do that. I actually jumped up and starting cheering when he wrapped the chain around his neck, as weird as that might sound.
That totally makes sense. I mean after Todd popped Jesse's girl in the back of the head you just knew that Todd was going to die at his hands. I figured Jesse would get ahold of a gun and empty a clip into him. Jesse killing Todd in virtually the same way that Walt killed Krazy 8 was kinda poetic in someway.
-
I thought it was good. It wasn't great, but it wasn't the St. Elsewhere ending either. The killing spree was pretty damn epic and it was great to see Jesse choke the life out of Todd. It cracked me up when Todd was looking out the window completely oblivious to the fact it was Walt who just killed everyone.
Lidia got exactly what she deserved. I wonder though if she went staight to the hospital after she got that call though. She does have a kid, so one would assume she would be dumb enough to try and save herself and blow up what little time she has left.
Overall it was good, but ultimatley it felt safe. The predictions about Walt killing the Nazi's, Lidia, and saving Jesse were dead on. Only real wild card was making The Schwartz's give the money to his kids. When those laser sights came on I jumped and was like oh shit. That was an awesome scene and then the kicker it being Skinny Pete and Badger. So awesome.

Lei'D Tapa is now on the roster but they can't resign Mickie, SOAD. A few months ago this company was really fun to watch on TV.
SNOO SNOO

WWE just put up a bunch of debuts (Y2J, Tazz, Batista, Cena, etc.)
I could've sworn D-Von was using his awesome Eyes of Rightessnous theme song. They have got to recycle that for someone at some point.
I remember back in the Smackdown 5 video game, he had the weirdest ring walk. He would hold his hand over his heart with a sad look and slowly walk to the ring. It was really amusing when you could switch his attire to his Team 3D one he would do the same walk.
There was potential for Rev. D-Von. Hell, there's potential period for a crazy Bapstist Reverend in wrestling.

For the record, Alvarez is saying people in WWE are under the impression Hogan is re-signing with TNA,
He would be an idiot not to. They pay him all kinds of money most of the time just to show up and stand around in the back and yell at people.
I also saw I think in the same news bit that the WWE has almost no interest in signing AJ Styles.
-
wait. Kevin Nash DOESNT like poltics? I don't know what to say to that.
Nash is a big Lib which is really amusing. But then again considering how he's made his career, it makes perfect sense. Kevin Nash is the Frank Underwood of Pro Wrestling.
I second a return of Cody Deener. There is a money feud between him and Eric Young over Deener wanting his woman back.

A few questions about the Evolve shows over the weekend (keep in mind my only info comes from the recaps sent in to Meltzer).
Is it true the 9/22 show drew "100+" people? I mean, is that something to even brag about/mention?
Looking at the results, it's shows like this that make me hate indy wrestling. It just seems like such a wank-fest.
Seeing that the Brooklyn show was held in a room like this makes me love indy wrestling even more.
Looks like Al Bundy's basement.
It's the Lyceum on 4th Ave. and President Street. I was there once for a show, it's not a bad little venue. The lights just need to be off. It's an old bath house that was abandoned for decaded after Mayor Kotch shut them down in the 80's.

"Ted Dibiase Jr" is just another way to pronounce "Curtis Axel".
Yeah but at least he got to use his name. Poor Curtis can't even be Joe Hennig because they said he doesn't know how to work like one. I feel sorry for Curtis. I mean he's fine in the ring, but no one cares about him. Look at last night. He was the fifth wheel in that brawl. They should have made Ryback the new Heyman guy from the start or at least had him do his BIG GUY schitck way earlier.

You have to admire the WWE if they professionally filmed the wedding for the use in a DVD release someday. In this day and age, it's amazing the marriage has lasted this long.
The show was pretty boring in parts. I found rerun of the Royal Pudding episode of South Park (as is with tradition) to be way better than some of the parts of this show. I did like how Triple H and Stephanie were trying to stop the mutiny from the lower ranking men of the locker room. But just looking all those guys you could count off in order who was going down.
The Punk/Heyman confrontation and brawl was fun. But man, Ryback is really going to kill someone someday. That press slam into the table was absolutley nasty. Punk looked like he took all of it right on his right kidney or hip. For a guy who doesn't even take asprin, he's gonna be in a world of hurt.
The Rhodes brothers attacking The Shield was so awesome. It would have been a billion times better if they were wearing masks. Goldust being in make up was awesome though. If this is one step closer to a Rhodes/Shield bunkhouse match I am all for it.
The main event was good and it was helped by a red hot crowd. The Roman Reigns Spear A Thon was great. I did love the brief standoff between him and Pancake Patterson. If they don't screw up O'Neil, he's gonna be a star for them. That might be a match I want to see someday.
So with Randy Orton doing his best serial killer impression to Brie Bella, is it a given we'll see Bryan "get hurt" or maybe even Orton giving Brie the Stephanie treatment with a DDT and a kiss (I guess they could get away with that on a PPV). Overall a fun show when the crowd cared.

I forgot how awesome (no pun) Awesome Truth was with that mugging in the cell. It's amazing how a month later they were fed to The Rock and Cena and then The Truth screwed himself over by failing a drug test for synthetic pot.

Is American Kickboxer 2 a masked man of some sort? I really hope so, because I invision him as something like Mr. Wrestling 2. Except for a kneelift, he uses a JUDO CHOP followed by a round house kick.
Come to think of it, there was a guy in Fire Pro Returns who you could use who was a kickboxer. He wrestled in boxing gloves and mostly did kicks.

I still maintain TNA should have kept the six sided ring.
Yeah well, that just wasn't working out...BROTHER.

From what I watched of the show, I thought it was hilarious. The ODB/Mickie match was fun to watch. I don't think I'll ever get tired of ODB grabbing her juggs. It's a shame if Mickie is gone, because that would mean the Knockouts division is just ODB, Gail, and Brooke Tessmacher. I think it's fairly obvious Brooke will be getting the Knockouts title just so she and Bubba can be world champions of marriage.
Joe Park coming out and chugging a gallon of chocolate milk was pretty damn funny. I still think they missed the boat on him. It's sad the character is just comedy relief with Eric Young (who deserves way better).
The heel Dixie promo was everything I hoped it would be. She should have come out guns blazing and been like "who do you think you are you little shit" (wait can they say shit on Impact anymore?). If TNA is on its dying legs, it was quite symbolic to have her cut the lights to end the show. Heel Dixie is something that should have been done years ago. This is just grasping at straws that don't even exist.

Can we discuss how Ellie sounded like a dead ringer for Stu? Creepy.
Thank God I am not the only one who noticed that. I heard her speak and I was like wow, she is Stu's daughter.

The end of RAW was awesome. It was about time the lower part of the WWE roster came out and fought off The Shield. That was a great Nitro-Esq moment. I agree with the notion that if they did this in Tampa, in 1980 the Armory would have burned to the ground. Dusty was so tremendous. Who cares if he was flubbing lines. He's Dusty, he's allowed to.
When he said "this is Virgin Runnels talking" I was like OH SHIT, ITS A SHOOT. Stephanie has finally come into her own as the evil corporate vp. The Bed, Bath, and Beyond card was such a hilarious and tremendous touch. Stephanie is probably like Bill Murray in Scrooged and she has a list during Christmas for who gets a towel and who gets a VCR (well blu ray these days). She surprisingly did hold her own with Dusty, but man she really needs to lay off the Parlament unfiltereds. That voice is getting rough.
It was nice to see The Miz show signs of life for the first time in ages. But man, his dad is a pussy. John Cena's dad would have at least taken a swing at Orton if he was doing that shit right next to him. Hell, John Cena's dad DID take a shot and then some. But I guess all wrestler dad's these days can't be Johnny Fabulous.
Overall a really fun show.

Page seven and still no mention of Brie Bella dressing up as Rainbow Brite? I'm ashamed of you guys. Come on, we need a couple of pages about how creepy it is that she was voted into that doll costume, LITERALLY becoming the WWE Universe[tm]'s own dress-up doll.
Brie as Rainbow Brite was pretty awesome.

I was thinking about this last week. Bray's grand daddy is Blackjack Mulligan and Blackjack had a big feud with Sullivan. Bray Wyatt has turned his back on his family and has become Kevin Sullivan's spiritual adopted son. It's a shame they would never explore his character that much, because Bray meeting up with Grandpa Kevin Sullivan needs to happen.
