Because Kaitlyn is getting married next month too. Maybe that was something planned by the "BFF's" known as Kaitlyn and AJ. |

Damn, Vader.

I'd rather get hit in the balls then to experience that.

Was thinking about this the other day.... was Yokozuna ever a "household name"? I seem to remember a time when the very word "Yokozuna" was synonymous with "fat guy". Could be imagining this, though.
|
Wrestling is general wasn't a household name during Yokozuna's heyday
|
Yeah, I know.... but I somehow remember everyone using the term "Yokozuna"
|
Probably just getting confused... maybe it was just my mom who knew who Yokozuna was.... and if even my mom knew, it had to be a household name....
|
BANSAI!

Just finished watching this week's SmackDown.
It was pretty terrible. All it really was, was just a bunch of squash matches and recaps of Raw. We had Usos/Rhodes in a Tag Team Match which was a good match. Then a Raw Recap. A Cena Promo and then it turned into a Wyatt Promo. El Torito/Slater was after that, which was a squash match. Then another Raw Recap. Then we got Nikki/Natalya which was pretty much just an advert/recording material for Total Divas. A Ziggler interview was after that, which then went to Ziggler/Batista, and that was sort of a squash match. After that, we got Sheamus/Titus, which also included a Raw Recap and the match was a huge squash match. We then got an Adam Rose interview. Then Santino/Sandow in another squash match, followed by a short Sandow promo. Then Cesaro/Truth which was accompanied with yet another Raw Recap and that too was a squash match. We got our fifth Raw Recap of the night and finally, we got Cena/Rowan for the last eight minutes of the show. I skipped most of it if I'm honest, and in total, I only watched around 45 minutes of the show. A part of me is wondering why I bother with SmackDown if it's going to pretty much be "The Raw Recap Show". As for the squash matches, I'm hoping they were only because they couldn't be arsed and just wanted to head to Europe for the tour as soon as possible. I'm getting a sense of Déjà vu, as what I've mentioned is the exact reason why I stopped watching Superstars a few years ago. |
Yep. Used to be a big fan of the unloved Blue Brand but more often than not I just read spoilers now.

Lana/AJ/Paige are the only roster members i could see myself following around.:love: |
i still always watch but this week was a chore. very bad from top to bottom.

Smackdown has been pretty redundant ever since the end of the brand split, and especially since the unification of the titles.
Chances are you will see the main event of Smackdown happen again on RAW anyways. |

I actually forgot to watch SmackDown this week and when I remembered, it was more "Oh, I guess I better watch SmackDown then", than "I can't believe I forgot to watch SmackDown! I can't wait to watch it!". I feel like SmackDown needs a big change. Get rid of the Raw Recaps for one thing. Have an exclusive title. Why not? Slightly modify the stage. Introduce blue ropes again, or blue and white ropes. Hell, even black would be good. Have a storyline where a few guys on the roster (probably mostly mid-carders and a few jobbers but with some "big names") refuse to compete on Raw for whatever reason. Bring back the intros to shows. I'm so sick of constantly having a cold open to both Raw and SmackDown. Basically, what I'm saying with most of what I've mentioned in that list, is that I want feel like I'm watching a different show, and not just "WWE Blue Raw" or " WWE Raw Lite". That's what it feels like to me when I watch SmackDown. It just feels like I'm watching Raw most of the time, but the only difference is that everything that is red on Raw, is blue, and we also don't have Lawler talking away. |
Saw these new T-Shirts on WWEShop and thought of Lock Jaw.

Call me crazy, but I'd be cool with seeing a rehashed nWo again.

Crazy

Dolph Ziggler got to beat Batista on SmackDown. Good for him.

I knew who Rikishi was before I started watching wrestling. I also knew The Undertaker, The Rock, Stone Cold, Kane and Hulk Hogan.

Oh, and Kevin Nash.

Went to the house show in Birmingham last night, I'd sum up the experience as follows:
Enjoyed the show, didn't enjoy the experience. As per usual with any show I go to, fate seems to dump me slap bang in the middle of my worst nightmare. Screaming, over-excited kids are to be expected, Douchebag Adult Fans (herein known as DAFs) are even worse. 3 guys 2 rows back spent the entire show thinking they were at post-Mania Raw. 20-odd times they tried to get a "Super Dragon" chant started to no avail. Just give it up, fellas. Add to that chants for "Botchamania" when they somehow managed to fuck up a pre-recorded Sandow promo, a "kind of face, sort of heel" duelling chant between the three of them for Cesaro that left the kids bewildered, and a bunch of other IWC memes that really should be left on screen and not taken into the arenas. Thankfully, a dad on the row in front became a Badass Submission Machine, turned around and cut a rousing promo on the DAFs asking them to reel it in a bit. Suddenly "loudmouth heels" became "chicken shit heels" and they were quiet for the rest of the show. End of the 3-Man Audio Circle Jerk. In addition to these DAFs you had the usual Cena loving kids and really you kind of understand why Cena won't turn when you see the love these kids have for the guy. There's the over-enthusiastic mum in front who was the only one stood up during Cena's match. I had a Kane lookalike sat next to me who insisted that he used to be a wrestler and was telling me about the injury preventing him from getting back in the ring. Other notes: - Bray Wyatt has given every overweight DAF who can afford a hat and a hawain shirt an easy choice when it comes to playing dress up. - it's hard going watching match after match. I think I'd like to go to a tv taping with the added structure of promo time and segments that didn't involve a match. - too much stalling. Virtually every match had the heel stalling for time at the start of the match. Great heat generator the first time, not so much the 6th match in a row - Sami Zayn had a match with Sandow. Very disappointed that few knew who he was. They're missing out not watching NXT. - Brodus Clay came out to his old music in the Funkasaurus gimmick to squash Jinder Mahal, very strange given the recent heel turn - plenty of YES! chants in spite of no Daniel Bryan. The crowd love to get involved with anything. "he's got the whole world" was very over as was "Let's Go Cena". Strange dynamic at work there. - Speaking of strange dynamic; Cesaro (sans Heyman). Definitely a heel but the Swing is massively over. The kids around me changed allegiance 6 or 7 times during his match with Ziggler. Hard to tell who was heel/face at any given time. - kinda wish they had a way of stating who would be there. Whilst I knew that Orton, Shield, Kane and DB (if not for injury) were down in Cardiff, I couldn't help feel the kids we're let down by some of the top guys not being there. At least when they toured as Raw/SmackDown you had a general idea of who to expect. - No Adam Rose. Gutted. |

Really looking forward to that.
I noticed that they didn't include CM Punk in the trailer, though I'm sure he'll be included in the actual DVD. |

"First of all, I believed in my crew. There was nobody on that roster that I didn't truly believe in for the spot that they had. I truly believe The Sandman is one of the greatest characters we ever stumbled upon. Do I think he's a great worker in the ring? Absolutly not. He's the drizzling s----s. and probably one of the worst workers of all time. But he was a money draw. Why? Because when that music played, and he did that entrance, that audience was engaged! And they were with him- they were all as one! And it was part of that EXPERIENCE of the 2 1/4 to 4 hours that we gave you a show!" Also, it made me wonder- for good or ill- what would have happened if Crockett didn't, as Paul E. put it "bitch slap" him over the phone and actually went on to be a radio personality, leaving the wrestling business entirely. Not just how different woud he have been, but the business as a whole? Kind of the same thought as to how different the rap game would be today if Snoop didn't go on to record "Doggystyle" and help launch Death Row into prominence (again for good or ill), and instead, went to USC to be their QB which apparently was a very viable option. |

This place really hasn't fucking changed, holy shit.
|
Fuck you too.
|
Why fuck me? :(
|
Do we have heat? I don't remember.
I mean, I know I like you. I hope you still like me. :( |
Because there is still likely loads to fuck, big boy :naughty:
Don't tell me you weigh the same as Afterlife these days. |
Doing DDP Yoga legit. That thing is amazing.
Not Afterlife sized, but about a small asian woman lighter so far. |
Seriously? I might have to give that a go. I don't really stick to schedule like that though. How's the relationship going? Still with her?
|
Yeah, engaged. Still following wrestling, but because of my job I'm usually 2-4 weeks behind on RAW and SD. Barely been watching the network, but there is so much good stuff there.
Major reason I left is because my life got legit hectic. Things are calming down now so I'm back. |
Congrats on the engagement!
|
Thanks!
So what's good on TPWW? Anything I need to know or same-old? |
WHATS HE DOING HERE GET THE CAMERA OFF OF HIM!
