Tables, Ladders, & Podcast - Current episode: #74 (October 22, 2014)

[The Rogerer]

Simple and realistic - event happened as it did, but then as Batista stands in the ring Randy Orton walks down and they have a ten minute standoff and sign point-off while Cole and JBL explode about how awesome Wrestlemania is going to be. Just to stitch up the wound while the axehead is still buried in there.

[Nowhere Man]

I was going to say that I think every time there's a bad PPV the show should open with me killing myself to the sad piano music to The Incredible Hulk, but then that would be pretty much every PPV week.

[loopydate]

You could kill yourself in a different way each time. It could be something to look forward to. "What's Cayse going to do to himself this time?" You'd be like the Kenny of TLP.

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

"Oh, come on! Mr. Whereman, that's not wise!"

[Poit]

You could kill yourself in a different way each time. It could be something to look forward to. "What's Cayse going to do to himself this time?" You'd be like the Kenny of TLP.

Variations on the Death of Whereman.

[owenbrown]

Hornswoggle eliminating Khali to win the Rumble

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Jabba's story

Worse ending for Mania:
Only Batista is left and #30 turns out to be Bryan who ends up tying Santino's record for quickest elimination. Authority joins Batista in the celebrations with Triple H saying this was "best for business" and everyone in the ring openly mocks the crowd with the YES! stuff to end the Rumble.

[FourFifty]

:lol: Jabba's story


I want that as a single file on my phone or on youtube.

[James Steele]

Batista entering at #29 and eliminating everybody in the ring within the 90 second interval followed by Daniel Bryan entering at #30 only to be eliminated as soon as he enters the ring and breaking Santino's record for shortest time in the Rumble match. The shitty ending would then be made up for by the ensuing riot.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

A: Cena winning it.

[Nark Order]

What. That video was awesome, Afterlife. Do that again.

Assuming it is all indeed protected under fair use for recaps.

[XL]

Really enjoyed that. Perhaps you could get Poit to film a cameo where he does his "Oh come on!!". You could cut that in when you get carried away.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Randy Orton or John Cena winning the Rumble from the #30 slot, with the commentators stressing to us that the rivalry between the two biggest stars in WWE history is far from over.

[owenbrown]

:lol: Afterlife

[Bad News Gertner]

Oh fuck off, Bad News Barrett is tremendous

[Innovator]

Entrant 28 - Batista, YES chants pick up

Entrant 29 - Big E, crowd is frothing at the mouth for their hero DANIEL BRYAN to come out and enter the Rumble

Entrant 30 - DANIEL BRYAN! Crowd is literally blowing the roof off of the arena

Daniel eliminates a bunch of people

Stephanie and Triple H come out and shut down the show citing structural damage to the arena

Crowd leaves angry and the roof crumbles around the ring as Triple H plays a fiddle

[Nark Order]

Bad News Barrett started off so awfully. It is getting better but it is a waste of talent still.

[The Rogerer]

What is wrong with him? I thought it was a visa issue again. Was Summerslam the last time we saw him wrestle? Unless he was on Saturday Morning Slam for a while...

[XL]

Bad News Barrett started off so awfully. It is getting better but it is a waste of talent still.

Really not interested in him getting involved with King, if that's where it's headed.

Question Of The Week:

We've heard a lot about the face of the WWE, but who would you pick as the face of TNA?

[Poit]

Thirty-seven podcasts in a row. :y:

[owenbrown]

:lol:

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

No days off, baby!

[Anybody Thrilla]

AJ Styles definitely WAS the face of TNA, but I guess that's over now. I'd say Kurt Angle is the closest thing to it right now. They should probably make it Austin Aries soon, though.

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

Some people asked for a link to the National Pro Wrestling Day show we were talking about.

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/haU-BfRKnLc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haU-BfRKnLc

[FourFifty]

Wow, this question is... wow....
I had a noid post about why it shouldn't be certain people, but the question is who should it be, not why does everyone else kinda suck.

Samoa Joe. He has been constantly with the company, primarily as a face, in the singles division. He really evolved there, unlike (INSERT YOUR FAVORITE FORMER WWE WRESTLER HERE) when they jumped to TNA.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Did you guys completely skip over the Wyatt Family match on Smackdown? It was the main event.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Oh wow, that was on Raw, wasn't it? I've been paying zero attention, turns out. Carry on. :y:

[Anybody Thrilla]

Wait, hold up...pretty sure The Wyatts main evented Smakdown. Did I just totally miss the talk about that or what?

[Bad News Gertner]

Magnus seems to be a good pick. Good looking, big, charismatic, good in the ring.

[Afterlife]

Last year, I missed a podcast due to illness, and did my take on the entire week. It's 40-minute deal, because of the range of content, and it's not as littered with video clips.

[Heisenberg]

That has got to be one of my favorite opening intro songs ever.

[Heisenberg]

You didn't lose me @ Chikara, I'd like to watch my first show whereever it is available at.

[Heisenberg]

We've heard a lot about the face of the WWE, but who would you pick as the face of TNA?

Pfft, Shark Boy



Actually, I'd like to see Christopher Daniels get a run at the top for awhile. He is entertaining and great in the ring, I guess his size is his holdback, which is not a good excuse these days with Punk and Bryan being in the fold.

[Nark Order]

Magnus seems to be a good pick. Good looking, big, charismatic, good in the ring.

I agree, actually. I really think they're on the right track with what they've got. He's a solid mic man as well.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Are you asking who IS the face of TNA? Or who SHOULD be the face of TNA? I think I covered both in my original post, but just wondering.

Also, Magnus is growing on me considerably.

[Bad News Gertner]

Narc and AT agreed with my post. I'm putting it in my sig.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I agree with a lot of your posts, if you haven't noticed.

[Nark Order]

When you're right you're right.

[James Steele]

The face of TNA should be Jeff Hardy because he is exactly like TNA. More often than not he is good and even occasionally great, but he is very liable to completely fuck shit up once in awhile. He is the lovable underdog who you always seem to can't stay mad at no matter how many times he takes a giant sloppy diarrhea shit all over your carpet. Jeff, please come back home.

[theexample]

Kurt Angle. By going there, he made the company seem legit.

[Emperor Smeat]

Angle. Pretty much their biggest star remaining and has done a lot for the company.

Think Magnus and EC3 have the best shot at being the future "faces" for TNA.

[loopydate]

Is: Kurt Angle
Should have been: Samoa Joe

Question Of The Week:

If Daniel Bryan were to be put out of action with an injury, ruling him out of Wrestlemania, who would you have leave the Elimination Chamber as WWE World Heavyweight champion?

[Nark Order]

If Bryan gets injured before Wrestlemania, the earth explodes.

[Heisenberg]

Damn Podcast app keeps replaying the first ten minutes of the show. Going to fuckin clothesline the water cooler if I can't listen to this correctly

[Heisenberg]

Works in this thread ok.

[Heisenberg]

My answer didn't make the show, fuck that

Daniels didn't deserve that. He is very underrated and deserving of at least a half year run .

[Innovator]

If Daniel Bryan gets injured before the Chamber of Chambers, I want Brock Lesnar in the match, who then destroys everyone but Cesaro, who then takes down Brock for his knowledge of diverticulitis. Cesaro is WWE World Heavyweight Champion, who defends it on NXT Arrival in the 2/3 Falls match against Sami Zayn. Zayn shocks the world to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, despite only being in NXT.

Why? I dunno fuck you.

[Emperor Smeat]

Orton under the assumption Batista still has his title spot for Mania and the match itself is still a 1v1.

Right now he's being booked in the classic Cena odds dilemma which basically guarantees he's leaving as champion. Bryan getting hurt most likely would just kill off any ideas of the title match being a triple threat.

[Heisenberg]

I would like one of you that run the cast to get your ass out to the ring and explain your dissing, stay on the ramp, I don't care, I think the crowd would like to know your side of the story

[James Steele]

Triple H #PredictableYesButFuckYouIWouldThoroughlyEnjoyTripleHHavingOneMoreRunAsTheTopGuy

[Afterlife]

I would like one of you that run the cast to get your ass out to the ring and explain your dissing, stay on the ramp, I don't care, I think the crowd would like to know your side of the story

Our dissing of what?

[Heisenberg]

My answer, Daniels, face of TNA and me

[FourFifty]

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f26/lunarmaddness/v_chester_t-lg.jpg

[FourFifty]

Yes, my answer is Chester.

I think I should expand on my answer...
There is no way I feel I'd be satisfied with a non-Bryan answer to the chamber, and it's not going to be Bryan. While there is a lot of solid talent in the company, there's no one really who I would buy in the main event this close to WrestleMania aside from Punk (who isn't going to happen) or Rey (but they missed out on digging up Eddie's carcass to throw that around). Cena or Orton would just become Cena/Orton vs Batista. Anyone else in that match would be just as Chester is. A sock puppet who doesn't know what he's doing there.

[XL]

Question of the week:

It should be heavily implied that HHH caused the injury to Bryan at the Chamber PPV. HHH states that he has the perfect replacement (cut to Curtis Axel, who is in earshot of these events, looking like an excited puppy). Come time for the Main Event it's HHH that's revealed as the replacement (cut to a dejected Curtis Axel). HHH wins the title.

Subsequently, Batista falls victim to the same fate as Bryan, this time at Mania, leaving HHH with no opponent. He comes out at the end of the show basically to gloat/make NM's head implode. Then the Ultimate Warrior's music hits. He races to the ring. He beats HHH in 1:40 in reference to WM12.

Following that, Hogan comes out and with HHH's backing goes into a match with Warrior as he did against Yokozuna at Mania 9. Hogan defeats Warrior to get back his win from Mania 6 and thus ends the show and the metaplot of WrestleMania.

[XL]

Also, as it involves Hogan and Warrior, and it's in New Orleans which has connections to voo doo, Papa Shango should do an ill-timed run-in.

[Anybody Thrilla]

If Bryan is injured, Randy Orton is the best choice here. They can build up anyone else for the title match leading into Mania, and the fans would be nice and hype for him to drop the title by then...

...unless it was to Batista. Or Cena. Or Sheamus.

Let's just hope Bryan stays nice and healthy, shall we?

Question Of The Week:

With the pushes <strike>Antonio</strike> Cesaro and Big E <strike>Langston</strike> are getting, who should be the next guy to trade part of his name for a push?

[Lock Jaw]

Christ<s>ian</s>

[Heisenberg]

Dangerous Christ


Not my pick, I was just wondering how it looked and then I went shit

[Heisenberg]

Will you guys read my answer if I give a super serious post effort??

[Nark Order]

I would read your grocery list if you posted it with enough passion. I love you.

[el bobbo]

Good show.

[Maluco]

Serious answer, think it could actually be Kofi Kingston getting the official change to just "Kofi". I wouldn't mind it either, he has tons of ability and wouldn't mind them really getting behind him with a sustained push and storyline, just to see how far he could go.

He has been around forever and has never really developed a character

[Innovator]

Justin Gabriel will shorten his name to just Gabriel, and will get repackaged with blonde hair looking for his long lost partner/lover Xena.

[el bobbo]

For some reason I don't like it when the announcers just refer to him as "Kingston." I don't see why he needs to keep that name when they don't even bill him from Jamaica anymore.

[James Steele]

The Great Khali will simply become known as KHALI like how Kenta Kobayashi is simply known as KENTA.

[James Steele]

Also, I love this picture:

http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/superstar_large/public/talent/profile/2013/10/tensai_1_full_20131021.png

[#1-norm-fan]

It should be Fandango. He's already had one name for long enough. There's no reason for them to be fucking stalling.

[Lock Jaw]

Have a two hour drive today, have loaded this up on my phone for listening. Last time I said I was gonna do that, I didn't do it because it ended up not being a solo drive.

[Heisenberg]

Don't wear tight underwear just in case you need to crank one out

Good luck

[Emperor Smeat]

Zack Ryder becoming just Ryder.

[loopydate]

"From Cleveland, Ohio, weighing in at 230-whatever pounds, former WWE Champion and WrestleMania XXVII main eventer... THE!"

[Lock Jaw]

Didn't even realize Widen English's song was from Dr. Horrible. Gonna need to give it another view now.

Also, when did Narc usurp hosting duties from Jabba? Show somehow seems less classy now.

In addition, is finally found out why the show is so long... The descriptive play by play for some matches. I already watched it, bro, I don't need to hear it recapped in such an extent. You can give a shout out to a few cool spots, give your thoughts on the match, and move on.

[Nark Order]

I have always been host, save a couple of episodes.

[XL]

Dolph Ziggler becomes Dolph. But, as there are no doubt loads of Dolphs around, he's just "a Dolph". He should start a stable (again) and grow a moustache similar in style to the one that Charlie Chaplin fashioned. Then, I dunno, try to take over the WWE, I guess.

[Afterlife]

I did nazi that coming.

[owenbrown]

on another subject, I feel like there should be some sort of disclaimer as the show opens for legal reasons. No offense to Nowhere Man and to a lesser extent Afterlife, Jabba, and maybe Narc, but, it should be along the lines of "The views expressed by [insert name here] do not reflect those of Tables, Ladders, & Podcast and of TPWW."

[Poit]

Sometimes I do jokingly make such a disclaimer when Afterlife & Nowhere Man are especially offensive.

[owenbrown]

Nowhere Man, no offense, might have gone a little too far on the Raw recap on the podcast this week.

[XL]

Why so serious?

[Heisenberg]

Nowhere Man and Afterlife are compassionate about wrestling. You have to expect that passion to convey onto the recording.

Narc, Poit, and Jabba as well, otherwise they wouldn't waste their time drumming up these casts.

[owenbrown]

recapping Raw and in 3 different instances wishing death on JBL in various ways is not exactly being compassionate about wrestling.

[Nowhere Man]

I disagree. A waste of air like JBL finally ridding the world of himself would be an act of tremendous mercy towards the art of wrestling itself.

[owenbrown]

I am all for free speech and all that, but from a legal standpoint, it's not best for TLP business.

[Nowhere Man]

From a legal standpoint, JBL can be impaled on a spike and flayed alive.

[Afterlife]

What legal standpoint is this, Mr. Brown?

[Innovator]

Probably the same section where Clox called the FBI

[Nark Order]

I'll allow it.

[loopydate]

Based on Facebook chatter (not watching this year, resolution and all, I'm sure you all remember) and the Rumble prologue, I'm anxious to hear how NM offs himself this week.

[Innovator]

In conjunction with the announcement of the ROH/NJPW joint shows in May, I expect Nowhere Man to go by way of Seppuku

[owenbrown]

What legal standpoint is this, Mr. Brown?

I am just trying to keep you guys from being sued

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

Firm legal ground.

[Nark Order]

I still want to see Warrior job to Hogan via netherworld vortex.

[loopydate]

Firm legal ground.

"Only about five people will get why that's funny."

[Nowhere Man]

I am just trying to keep you guys from being sued

If I were saying "I am going to kill JBL" or "Hey everyone, you should totally kill JBL," that would be one thing. I'm just stating my desire to see him no longer be a thing that exists in the world.

Also, realistically, there is no way in hell anyone from WWE is ever going to hear us.

[Poit]

Also, realistically, there is no way in hell anyone from WWE is ever going to hear us.

Well, there was that time we joked about CM Punk sitting in the back just waiting to come out when someone says "best", and then that actually happened the following Raw.

[Afterlife]

I am just trying to keep you guys from being sued

For hyperbole?

[Heisenberg]

Reigns

I like the flow of having Roman in his name, but I don't think he needs it. I'm favoriting him cause we are the same color and share a love for drop kicks.

I love you

[XL]

Ha. That was gonna be my serious suggestion.

Romeo - Echo - Indigo - Golf - November - Sierra - REIGNS

Xray Lima is Sierra Alpha Whiskey Foxtrot Tango

Question Of The Week:

With Josh Matthews as a given, present us with your best and worst three person panels for Wrestlemania.

[loopydate]

Best - Shawn Michaels, Jim Ross, Roddy Piper
Worst - Art Donovan, Rob Bartlett, The Great Khali

[Mr. Nerfect]

BEST: Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

WORST: Booker T, The Boogeyman and The Great Khali. Actually, that might be accidentally awesome.

[Nowhere Man]

Side note: this is my favorite opening to any episode of TLP we've ever done, ever.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I was close to having either Jim Ross or Paul Heyman in there, but JR is the sort of guy that I'd want to see on a panel first. He should definitely be given an opportunity soon. Can't wait to watch Paul Heyman on the NXT Arrival panel.

[Heisenberg]

I fuckin loved Bad News Afterlife

Holy shit

Y'all said my answer, I won't have to Chokeslam anyone thru a table

[Heisenberg]

I am listening to the Wyatt bit, I hear that on the living near ppl like that. There's a Wyatt looking house boarded up but inhabited a few miles from my house. It reminds me of the Wyatt Home and titantron

Question Of The Week:

If you could hijack an episode of Raw, what kind of chants would you start?

[Shisen Kopf]

Does afterlife post here anymore?

[Shisen Kopf]

Also, I would chant "we want rassle" when they are doing stupid interviews and backstage segments that suck a duck.

[Bad News Gertner]

Gorm! Gorm! Gorm!

[Afterlife]

Yes, I still post here.

[Bad News Gertner]

Missed ya

[James Steele]

"Trip-ull Aitch! Trip-ull Aitch! Trip-ull Aitch! Trip-ull Aitch! Trip-ull Aitch! Trip-ull Aitch! "

[FourFifty]

As Dancin' Dave comes out, I would love to hear the polar opposite of a chant.
Nothing. Deafening silence. If people are cheering or booing it shows an excited crowd. It's good TV, even if it's people chanting nonsense. It's the fans having fun. I just want the crowd silent for Dancin' Dave to the point where you hear someone's cell phone rings.
That, or if it has to be a legit chant, in the same vein as people chanting "WHAT" when there is a pause, for Dancin' Dave I want to hear them say whatever the hell Lana says. Best I can do for the spelling is "Nemineya."

[Innovator]

"Aksanas gonna kill you"

"Worse than Kanyon"

"Hello darkness my old friend" - to Batista

"Hans Moleman" - to Batista

"Damocles"

[FourFifty]

Can you show us the gif of Angle doing the moonsault in reverse for visual reference?

"Hello darkness my old friend" - to Batista

Question Of The Week:

Pick a move that doesn't yet have a name. What should its name be?

[Innovator]

GOD DAMMIT POIT STOP BUTCHERING MY COMMENTS

HOW DO YOU GET ARKANSAS FROM AKSANA?!

[Heisenberg]

http://cdn.bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/sharknado-2.jpg

Starring Kurt Angle

[Poit]

GOD DAMMIT POIT STOP BUTCHERING MY COMMENTS

HOW DO YOU GET ARKANSAS FROM AKSANA?!

Oh... sorry. :lol:

[James Steele]

Daniel Bryan's "knee of death" should be called "DB's Knees"

[Afterlife]

This is a highly entertaining episode. Can we fire Narc?

[Emperor Smeat]

Aksana's knee to be named as the "Lithuanian face buster"

[loopydate]

Or, alternatively, "Socket To Me."

[XL]

Bryan's knee should be called the "Independence Express". He should do the corner taunt that Godfather used to do before hitting the Ho Train. In fact, when he turns heel he can call it the "No Train".

[Innovator]

Roman Reigns's Spear = Roman Out - everyone who gets hit by it comes out as a Romansexual (gay solely for Roman Reigns).

Big E's Big Ending = World's Saddest Slam

[XL]

I was gonna pm Jabba to see if he there was a space spare on this weeks podcast but ended up going to bed instead.

My input would have been:

During the description of Alpha Female as "mannish" I'd have said "No, that's TJ Perkins".

During the talk of Bryan/HHH's Raw segment is have suggested how great it would have been if HHH were to come out and say "Bryan strong-armed me into agreeing to the match and the stipulation, but here's the thing...I LIED!!".

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

We can always make room for XL.

[Lock Jaw]

I listened to most of this podcast. Interesting to hear the TNA recaps, because I fell behind a few weeks and also did not watch Lockdown. May have to check out some of the Lockdown matches. I probably won't though.



Also, I'm pretty sure somewhere that Daniel Bryan said his Running Knee was called the "Knee Plus".

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

All the matches are probably worth checking out, but if you have to pick just one I'd suggest Storm vs Gunner.

[Lock Jaw]

Last time I watched they had just gotten back together and had hugged it all out and stuff....

Seems every time I fall behind in TNA there are at least two heel/face turns in the time span.

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

They used to do way too much of that, but this particular storyline made a lot of sense.

[loopydate]

Had a TLP dream last night. Somehow in this dream, my hotel exists in both Nashville and Chicago, so I had Narc at the front desk coming by to check Afterlife in for their WrestleMania extravaganza. At the same time, though, they were in different enough places to where I had to tell Narc how bad I felt that I wouldn't be joining everyone there because it was too far away. I'm sure more stuff happened, but I mostly remember thinking after I woke up thinking that the person in my dream was really not Narc. Looked completely different, sounded completely different, but in that world he was Narc.

[Nark Order]

I had a dream once where Anybody Thrilla saved my mother from an armed assailant and then took her out for pancakes.

[Nark Order]

Also. Tuned in as a fan this week. Solid fucking program. Except for Afterlife. He's awful.

:)

J/k. Great show. Especially the Afterlife TNA recaps. And I knew there was going to be complaining about the cage door but I say it was justified this time. It does looks rather silly. It is just something in wrestling that we've accepted by now that is kind of ridiculous.

[James Steele]

I don't get all the "NerdRage™" against cage doors. Why wouldn't you have a door on a cage? Is it dumb for prisons to have doors? Of course not! Plus, its a great way for a chickenshit heel to win or have that scene of two men so beat up that all he can do is use all his might to try and crawl through the door to survive.

[XL]

The whole idea of escaping a cage match is counterintuitive to the original pont of the match; to provide a ground on which two hated rivals can meet without interference/without the heel high-tailing/being counted out/were the pair have to fight to a finish. An escape cage match rewards you for walking away from a fight. The door just makes it worse.

[Innovator]

Only time I saw a triumphant cage door exit was when Bruno beat the shit out of Stan Hansen, left him bleeding and tied up in the ropes knocked out, then walked out of the cage

[James Steele]

The whole idea of escaping a cage match is counterintuitive to the original pont of the match; to provide a ground on which two hated rivals can meet without interference/without the heel high-tailing/being counted out/were the pair have to fight to a finish. An escape cage match rewards you for walking away from a fight. The door just makes it worse.

Winning via escape is a wonderful way to have a chickenshit heel win the blowoff match of a feud. With the business being so over-exposed in the past 30 years, cage matches are no longer just about "nobody in/nobody out - time to fight".

[James Steele]

For example, JBL's win at No Way Out 2005 was fucking brilliant. He didn't win via the door, but he still won in an incredibly chickenshit way that gave him even more heat, made Big Show look even stronger, and ended their short feud. What is a more chickenshit heelish thing than finding a way to screw the fans and the opponent out of their "AHA! GOTCHA NOW, MOTHER FUCKER!" moment that the cage match represents. It is the natural evolution of the gimmick match. Cage matches haven't been the be-all end-all gimmick in years, so it makes sense to give it more versatility. HIAC and the Chamber have the role of being the be-all end-all this fight is going to end in a fair and bloody war gimmick match.

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

Suspension of disbelief. It's hard when you know somebody could win whenever they want by walking out of the ring.

[James Steele]

Suspension of disbelief. It's hard when you know somebody could win whenever they want by walking out of the ring.

...not really. They do those spots where the heel goes right for the escape and gets caught all the time. If you overthink it and basically refuse to let yourself enjoy the match because you are missing the forest for the trees, then yes I see your point. It is not like the other guy is just going to let him walk out of the fucking door. Then, you also get into all the psychological parts of guys wanting to dish out more punishment or having too much pride to win by escape. It all adds elements to the matches and the characters in said matches.

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

You're wrong, James.

Stepping out of the ring requires only a tiny amount of space, and the referees generally open the doors rather rapidly (particularly in WWE).

[James Steele]

What am I wrong about exactly?

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

Your stance on the effect of cage doors on matches.

[Afterlife]

Cage doors being an option for victory is just about as anti-climactic as it gets. Escape is bad enough, because, again, it misses the point of the match in the first place, but even then it's not about one guy defeating another; it's another form of not getting a decisive finish, and something as big as a cage match should be final.

[James Steele]

...which is why the door finish isn't used very often. Standard cage matches aren't all that big of a deal anymore and it isn't because it has a damn door.

[Nark Order]

James Steele. You are wrong. It is the worst. Also, making a dramatic crawl towards the door is always ridiculous. You could literally just walk out the door with relative ease or baseball slide out. We've all walked through doors. It isn't a difficult thing to do. Even if somebody was trying to stop me, I'm certain I could slip out an open door.

[Innovator]

...which is why the door finish isn't used very often. Standard cage matches aren't all that big of a deal anymore and it isn't because it has a damn door.

Cage matches aren't a big deal because they're now a poor man's hell in a cell in WWE, and in TNA an entire PPV is dedicated to cage matches, which dilutes the impact it can have.

[Nowhere Man]

I'm going to agree with Narc, coming down against cage-doors on the grounds that it always, always looks retarded. It's the same problem that a lot of ladder matches have, where suddenly the guy starts moving in molasses towards his goal, only to be rendered completely immobile by someone grabbing his ankle. At least with ladder matches, it makes sense that the guy would stop climbing when the other guy grabs him-- that's a precarious position and you don't want to fall off. But when a guy is halfway out the door and is suddenly nailed in place because someone's pulling at him (most of the time with zero leverage), it just screams at the audience "WE ARE DOING THIS TO PAD FOR TIME."

[Innovator]

Bobby Roode is a great example. He forgets to crawl slowly, then has to pretend to get his hands stuck to the floor and not move for a minute

[James Steele]

Then he needs to quit being a fucking schmuck and do it right.

Question Of The Week:

Give us your reactions to the following Mania main event results:

Orton Retains
Batista Wins
Bryan Wins
Triple H Wins

[Heisenberg]

Question Of The Week:

Give us your reactions to the following Mania main event results:

Orton Retains

Fit the man with the finest armor you got b/c the next night at RAW will be one dungeon unfit for just his underwear alone. They better have his will done and RV patched up with a forcefield of alien level science. Some will call the WWE brave, but I'm not sure they are that brave.

Batista Wins

see Orton reaction, plus lol Scorpion King

Bryan Wins

Anxiety will build as to how they are going to sabotage his win, I know Summerslam is behind us, but with the possibility of having Punk coming out and getting involved, it could lead to some more unwarranted crap.

Until the show ends I will be skeptical if he wins.

Triple H Wins

I don't see this one happening, as good a heel as he is I don't think it'll be best for business to have HHH hoisting the titles up after all this building of Bryan.

If he does win I'll crank Motorhead and dance in the streets, but as a fan of him we should just leave his title days in the past where they belong. Love him or hate him, he is doing good things down at NXT.

[Heisenberg]

The final segment of RAW when the fake cops came out, I was trying to get a Rodney King chant going.

I had a lot of other ideas for a sign, but they made me trash my blanks as well. I had a TLP sign, Tatanka sign and Tazz Dan sign. I feel awful I wasn't able to get those out, but the TPWW one seemed to be a powerful combo sign to show my respects.

Friday house show notes too:

Bad New Barrett wrestled and Layla returned, I got to see a 3 on 3 with The Shield(in Face mode) vs The Wyatt Family and it was TV quality stuff.

[Emperor Smeat]

Orton Retains, Batista Wins, Triple H Wins:
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4uUWK5jozQ/SI8vJLAt8tI/AAAAAAAAABg/fr6-cEqNEXQ/S269/homer-screaming.gif.png

Out of the three probably would be the most upset if Batista won considering his run so far has been a big waste even with the sudden heel turn. Probably Orton the least only if something big happened pointing to a refresh in his direction as champion.

Bryan Wins:
http://www.mississaugalife.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/images1.jpg

[el bobbo]

Orton Retains

Same old shit.

Batista Wins

Crowd Riots.

Bryan Wins

Daniel Bryan and we, the fans, get our WM moment.

Triple H Wins

Crowd riots and we get a really intriguing set up for the summer wrestling season.

[James Steele]

Orton Retains - Cancel WWE Network
Batista Wins - Cancel WWE Network
Bryan Wins - Warm fuzzy feeling that I haven't felt since WrestleMania XX's conclusion
Triple H Wins - Violent and Involuntary Ejaculation

Question Of The Week:

What would you have done with Scooby Doo on Raw?

Bonus Question: Give us ideas for fun stuff to do in Chicago.

[Innovator]

Go to the Weiner Circle. Have Afterlife ask for a Chocolate Shake.

[James Steele]

Scooby-Doo and Torito chase each other around the arena in multiple skits throughout the night.

Bonus: Find CM Punk's house, break-in, and host TLP LIVE! from CM Punk's estate.

[Bad News Gertner]

Take a piss on TNA

[Innovator]

Someone stole all of the food from WWE catering. Scooby Doo enters the arena with his new friend Rob Van Dam. Kane asks them to investigate the mystery of the catering bandit. Scooby and his friend RVD investigate throughout the night, Santino tries to tag along with his Sherlock hat but gets kicked in the face by RVD. Scooby gets hot on the trail thanks to a trail of oil from the food, leading him straight into RVD's locker room! RVD says that they both ate all of the food then totally spaced, and would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for Scooby's crime solving ability.

------

-If anyone is a baseball fan, go to Wrigley, the Cubs are home that week.

-As mentioned before, go to the Weiner Circle.

[Innovator]

PS, this episode gets a 6 on the Innovator 5 star rating.

[Nowhere Man]

-If anyone is a baseball fan, go to Wrigley, the Cubs are home that week.

I see they're playing the Cardinals, too. I may have to go to that one.

[Heisenberg]

Regal is fantastic, I still hold onto his way of saying Umaga, Umanga!

[Nark Order]

We are situated rather close to Wrigley field. Not going with many baseball fans but I am going nonetheless.

[Afterlife]

I actually fucking hate baseball.

[ron the dial]

wrigley is definitely a thing. had a blast last time i went with frank drebin. anyway, i'll think of some things to do for whenever i get down there. at least a decent restaurant and bar or some shit.

[Savio]

Gotta admit Big Vic was right

[Big Vic]

Finally some recognition

[Savio]

No problem, homie you deserve it.

[Big Vic]

Thank you, they should call you "Big Paul" for your big heart.

[Savio]

and my big cock :)

[Tazz Dan]

:roll:

[Nark Order]

Gee, Savior. I don't know why I ever thought you were annoying.

[#1-norm-fan]

Gotta admit Big Vic was right

Gotta admit Savior was right

[Afterlife]

For the record, I don't agree that RyBack has "peaked" or that his career is over. I hardly consider the circle jerkers' desire to latch onto a catchphrase in the Wrestling Forum as the measure of what is or is not going to happen in the worst-written tv series since Team Knight Rider.

RyBack is not The Great Khali. I can't even believe that comparison was made. Nobody is The Great Khali.

[Swiss Ultimate]

The Great Khali is not the Great Khali.

[Savio]

I disagree AL, and you have to admit right after his rematch he did steadily fall down the card.

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

That's not really disagreeing.

[Emperor Smeat]

Scooby Doo:
Him, Santino, and a few other wrestlers join together to solve the mystery of the missing Andre the Giant Battle Royale statue. Have a few skits where they try not to fall into any traps and get clues with the biggest being the suspect is wearing a mask. Final segment is them noticing Sin Cara walking to his car with the statue and nab him before he leaves. He gets unmasked and it turns out to be JTG who states he would have gotten away with it if people would have still forgotten he's employed.


Podcast itself:
In regards to the talk about if NXT is doing anything during Mania, the WWE is supposedly taping a few shows next weekend in New Orleans. Main reason is because the WWE is targeting those promotions that use Mania weekend as both their showcase event and to fund the rest of the year.

WWE is trying for next year's Mania to have all non-WWE promotion shows banned so only Mania occurs on that weekend.

[Innovator]

Honestly I'm surprised you guys kept Smackdown at a full review for this long. You can trim it down to 10-15 minutes if you just talk about what matches were good and if there were any talking points on the show. This way you can let RAW breathe more.

[Savio]

Sorry I should have stated:

I disagree AL, I think Ryback has peaked. You have to admit right after his rematch he did steadily fall down the card.

[Afterlife]

Because he's not in the title picture, his career has peaked? He's currently been placed into a filler tag team so he has a way to stay in our minds without being a Sandow/Ziggler-style flameout, and that's because they've given up on him? This is ridiculous thinking.

[slik]

Anyone who thinks Ryback's career has an upwards swing left in it is loco.

[#1-norm-fan]

That's ridiculous thinking. WWE clearly put him in a filler tag team with Curtis Axel where he could job to Los Matadores on multiple occasions in order to keep him relevant before his next main event push where he'll be bigger than ever.

Ridiculous thinking.

[Savio]

I like afterlife but he is very stubborn.

[Lock Jaw]

During the match. I would have had other famous Hanna-Barbera characters to come out and surround the ring... Then they would have got on the apron, entered the ring and beat down both men. Especially Sin Cara. Then they would have torn up the ring, etc...

Would have led to a lengthy feud against them for Sin Cara, and elevated him to that next level.

[Swiss Ultimate]

This is how it goes down.

Question Of The Week:

Tell us which snack would best accompany each match on the Mania card:

Tag Team Title Fatal 4-Way -
The Shield vs Kane/Outlaws -
Divas Invitational -
Andre The Giant Battle Royal -
John Cena vs Bray Wyatt -
Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar -
Daniel Bryan vs Triple H -
Randy Orton vs Batista vs ????? -

[XL]

Heeeeeeeyyyyyyyy!!

When Reigns breaks away from The Shield I'd like to see Bo Dallas arrive on the main roster dressed in knock-off Shield gear, helping Rollins/Ambrose win matches and telling everybody to "Bo-lieve in The Shield". Bonus points if Bo claims that having hair just like Reigns makes him the perfect replacement.

[Poit]

Great minds, and all that jazz.
