Nothing to do with WWE. No more wrestling in the olympics after 2016.

Thoughts on RAW.
1.) Opening RAW is Paul Heyman! However, with a sad announcement, this RAW being the last time he will be seen. Of course, he'd put himself and his past accomplishments over, with the topic of "passion." Highlighting ECW, Brock Lesnar, and CM Punk. Heyman mentioned something bad will happen, looking up while saying it (an act of God?). He then admitted to being a distraction to Punk, announcing his resignation. No one shed a tear, and Heyman didn't like that. Heyman said he loves CM Punk, awww! After Heyman said goodbye, out comes CM Punk. Punk wasn't down with Heyman's goodbye, confiding in him like a best friend. Punk said Heyman's too important to the company, and too the fans. A lot of Paul Heyman guys in the arena (not so true). Punk said the "dream" will end and everything will be back to normal, all this pumping Paul Heyman up. He said he will be in Punk's corner, and they hugged! Lawler mentioned that Heyman's actions were done to upstage The Pope. A man that CM Punk called on Twitter, a "Nazi." Vintage Punk. Anyways, the segment was great, as it sold how close a relationship is Punk and Heyman. Right? 2.) Well now, selling Rey's damage from Mark Henry, he's been removed from the Elimination Chamber. Lawler said the match between Henry and Khali would not last long. It didn't, Mark Henry went over Khali easily. Henry then had his eyes on Hornswoggle, and did the World's Strongest Slam on him, all badass like. Some fans even chanted "one more time." I don't blame them. After the break, Booker and Long talked about Henry, and in comes Chris Jericho! He wants to be in the Elimination Chamber, saying he's been in more of those matches than anyone else (yet only won one). Long gave Booker an idea (tag team match playa?!). Booker though had a much better idea. Y2J vs. The Dazzler!!! Fans popped for that. Then Jericho imitated Booker (better than Sheamus' imitation). 3.) After that, Vickie and Paul Heyman were talking. Paul wanted a stipulation added. Vickie didn't like that, Vince called Vickie. On speaker, Heyman was kissing up to Vince, only to be met with a "Shut up!" The stipulation he suggested was that if Rock got DQed or counted out, he'd lose the title to Punk. Vince agreed. With this stipulation, it makes this match open for something screwy that protects Punk. 4.) Three years ago, Daniel Bryan's debut match on WWE TV was against Chris Jericho. The match was awesome for TV. Three years later, Daniel Bryan and Jericho faced again here. This match was just as great. The reactions Jericho gets now helped in making the match more loud in noise. Credit to D-Bryan working well with Jericho, making the fans get up on their feet, as it went down the wire. Some great counters to submissions by both men, fast paced action, nearfalls, and a nice sudden go home sequence. For two straight weeks, Jericho's had the best match of RAW: Punk last week, D-Bryan this week. That's not just a coincidence. 5.) So right after a very entertaining match, is a 6 man featuring guys nowhere near Jericho or Bryan's level. Just as I thought, the match was nothing special. It was designed to show what the 3 muscle faces will do to Shield. Sheamus had the most ring time, just pummeling and stuff, Cena got the tag and did his 5 moves. When the 5th move was about to be done, Sheamus and The Ryback came in to do Irish Curse and Shell Shocked, respectively. All three moves done, match is done. That's about it, definitely not what I'd want to follow Jericho and Bryan. Anyways, The Ryback got the mic first, overly raspy voice and all. Feast on the Shield. Then Sheamus got the mic, he believes in getting justice tonight. Then Cena got the mic, he talked the most, The Shield meeting "the sword." Blah blah blah. 6.) They recapped Show's embarrassing SD, Lawler was all excited, even though he doesn't watch SmackDown. Earlier today, Alex Riley and Yoshi Tatsu were talking crap about Big Show. Show came and wasted those guys, which made me laugh as a matter of fact. Striker's in the ring to interview Big Show, but he got knocked out in the middle of asking the first question. That's also funny. Big Show couldn't speak, and he dropped the mic in anger. Fans chanted since he didn't talk. Heh. That's what I like, an angry Big Show. 7.) After the Bruno HOF video aired, Swagger vs. Ryder happened. Following Swagger was some guy named Zeb Coulter, never heard of him. While Ryder did fight back, Swagger dominated most of the match. His Gut Wrench Powerbomb was set up with a dead lift on Ryder. Cesaro would be impressed. Swagger did good, then got the mic to introduce Zeb Coulter. What's wrong with America? The fans were all "What!" to Zeb, which is silly. Zeb apparently knows Jack's daddy, as both are Vietnam vets. Hm? Zeb talked him and Jack up as real Americans, "We The People," a patriotic heel gimmick. Moreso than before. Swagger's in the chamber, Booker and Long agreed. They get interrupted by the recently snubbed Dolph Ziggler with AJ and Big E. Ziggler wants to be in the Chamber now that Jericho's in it. Booker responded, but was interrupted by Langston all of a sudden. Heh. Booker booked Kane vs. Ziggler (AJ was hoping Yoshi Tatsu). 8.) They recapped the Lesnar angle from last week, keep Brock's name out there since he's not on RAW. Miz vs. Rhodes with Cesaro on commentary. There was a "Goldust" chant in the match. The match was short on account of Cesaro trying to interfere. He got a boot to the face, and Miz flipped out on Rhodes. Then, he got shoved into the ring post. Even better, Cesaro swung Miz back and forth against the barricade. Another impressive feat of strength from that man! 9.) Tensai and Brodus Clay teaming up against the Colons. The big men destroyed The Colons, which is funny because Cole mentioned before the match that the Colons wanted to reach back into their tag team championship days. As if that mattered. Clay's girls silenced Rosa, then the big men did it Gangnam Style. 10.) The Shield came through the crowd, got microphones. Dean Ambrose led off. Some nice little facial expressions and movement to his promo. Following Ambrose is Seth Rollins, Reigns was next with the shorter talk. They all basically called out the 3 muscle faces, Ambrose said they had empty morals. Rollins implied Cena's a failure and will fail at Elimination Chamber. Ambrose said Shield don't like them because he's a failure. The "John Cena problem" was explained, with The Shield as the solution. Rollings made an interesting point on Cena paving the way for Sheamus and The Ryback, creating a decade of injustice planned to be rectified in one night. Ambrose made an angry concluding statement followed by Reigns' "BELIEVE IN THE SHIELD!" This was Shield's first live promo, and it was a great one, all three men were good, with Ambrose the best of the 3. The lights went out, came back on, and there are the faces, making The Shield yield to them, through the crowd. 11.) They recapped the opening segment from this RAW. Oh come on now. Damien Sandow came out with a mic, basically shooting down country music, being in Nashville and all. Overly sensitive ignoramuses having their hearts broken, that was funny. Humorous promo, followed by a match between Sandow and Del Rio. Del Rio made short work of Sandow, not as entertaining as the promo, but ah well. After that match, Del Rio said Show gave the best promo of his life earlier. Really? Del Rio said the time for talk is over, and that there is one place he will be going, Wrestlemania. Yeah sure, to lose the world title to Daniel Bryan (fantasy). 12.) Barrett was walked and got jumped by Bo Dallas, mirroring what happened when Barrett jumped Bo. Oh no. Fahn-don-go. Lawler was paying a lot of attention to Barrett's jaw, saying it might've been swollen. Okay. I figured this match would have Kofi win, as Barrett sold Bo's beatdown. Well, Wade won, using the ring apron rather uniquely to cover Kofi's body, followed by the Bullhammer. Kofi loses again, but Wade wins, so, cool. 13.) Lawler asked who AJ was with last Valentine's Day. Lawler mentioned Kane, but during that time period, D-Bryan was world champion, with AJ as his girlfriend. I remember. Good times. I was a bit surprised at the response of the crowd during this match. Obviously there's Dolph Ziggler, but Kane winning made the fans pop. Last week's RAW suffered from a dead and inconsistent Atlanta crowd, this crowd was much better. The match was alright, and Kane in the Chamber seems fit since Bryan's in it. However, that just guarantees Bryan won't win the chamber, because he and Kane will somehow get themselves eliminated. So the favorite is Mark Henry. AJ tried to interfere in the match, got pushed off the apron accidentally by Ziggler and Big E. saved her, like a true friend would do. 14.) A video on the Elimination Chamber aired. I got all the Chamber matches from 2002-2009 on some CDs. Just a little fact. 15.) The Rock gets the closing segment. Of course, Rocky would talk about the city RAW's in, this time being Nashville. Story time with The Rock. Rock and his family moved to Nashville when he was 15. Oh really? Rock put his 15 year old self over, pretty big for his age. He was listening to Country music with Downtown Bruno. In walked a crackhead (Rock mentioned Jeff Jarrett!) car dealer. Rock got a car, was driving at 15 years old, and in the track, was another crackhead. He ditched that bitch (car) at the parking lot and went to Tootsie's Lounge. Rock's first match was in Nashville Fairgrounds. Really? Well the crackhead story probably wasn't true, and this promo was just comedy Rock. It was funny in the beginning, but thankfully CM Punk came to try and change the tone. Rock got a bit more serious as a result, after referencing Twilight and its relation to the opening RAW segment. Rock wanted to fight, and eventually Punk obliged. Rock was about to do the People's Elbow, then Heyman stopped Rock, allowing Punk to hit GTS, and taking the WWE title with him. Ah yes, posing with that title, just like the good ol' 434 days... I somehow got the impression from reading comments on another site, that someone would return on this RAW. I guess it was meant for Zeb Coulter? See, I thought it would be Christian, to fill up a Chamber spot. Dammit. |

I was hanging out with the future ex-girlfriend, so missed most of Raw, but was able to catch up with what I missed today - thank god for the internet.
I'm totally behind the Tensai/Clay pairing. I'm already dying to see them in a tag match against Henry & Show; I don't even care that the latter pairing would just squash them, it'd be a ton of fun to watch (no pun intended). Cesaro throwing Miz with the giant swing was awesome. I totally want him to debut the UFO next - just to see it on the WWE TV. Plus, Miz is small enough to take it, and Cesaro is strong enough to deliver it to him. I'm still very sad that, since winning the title, they have My Girl Kaitlyn doing ... fucking nothing. C'mon, at least let her squash Alicia or Aksana (each for the 1000th time) and get her on TV! Quote:

I doubt we will see him with anybody else. There to try and help Swagger again and that will be it. The question is will it help? I'm not so sure. I'm sick of the America sucks, America is great. America gimmicks in general.

For some reason, Jack Swagger looks like a child molester.

I think Rey's days as a main eventer or upper mid carder are over. He seems to be hurt all the time.

Also, Team Rhodes Scholars reunite after a breakup that lasted for a cup of coffee... Quote:
Reacting to the Olympics removing wrestling, why? Wrestling's a competitive sport and features more athleticism than bad minton. Maybe they ignorantly thought too much on pro wrestling and how "fake" it is. Quote:

Aww man
Lucky I put my diet pepsi down before I started reading that Iron Sheik Rant. He sums it up perfectly in his own delightful way. I now want to hear his thoughts on Rhodes Scholars getting put together just to lose a match, when you could have easily put a team that didn't just break up in the same position. Madness. |

The Iron Sheik on the Dazzler:
"Respect the Daniel Bryan he not the juice head raisin balls Ultimate Warrior" I can't believe I just saw the Iron Sheik's Hall of Fame induction speech only a few months ago. Definitely the most entertaining HOF speech I've seen. He was also on Howard Stern TV. More than once I think.
