Barrett's stipulation was that Cena should make sure that he won the match, he never mentioned anything about the WWE title. Ergo, Cena is a genius and Barrett, Orton and the entire Nexus are idiots. YAY!
Ahh yes, but a diabolical genius! He fulfilled his end of the bargain, and did it dastardly.
Which means by December, we'll see Cena in a leather chair, petting a black cat with a black glove, and talking in a low, creepy British accent. "No Mr. Orton, I expect you to di ... oh, PG ... I expect you to lose. Muahahahahaha!"
-
Oh man, I was really starting to dig Justin Gabriel. Shame he's gonna be fired now. `cause Orton can't roll properly.
I saw that miscue, and awkward collision, and my first thought was Mr. Kennedy. Granted, it's a severe stretch, but it saddens me that a panic light goes off everytime Orton has a bad moment. lol
-
I just want to say what needs to be said, the Giants suck! Well at least the Yankees finally ended their losing streak...
Glad someone said it. lol
-
I am a Giants fan but the thing that has always annoyed me about him is, and this is just an opinion, he does not run the clock well. I seems like he always allows the play clock to run down forcing him to call time outs that hurt the team.
Yeah, he has a tendency to overthink the defense in front of him. The difference between him and Peyton is Peyton sees what he has, adapts, calls the play and snaps the ball. Eli ponders if he's doing the right thing while calling, which slows him down. It tends to happen when he's rattled, though, from what I've seen. He takes a few licks, and he worries too much about who's gonna light him up next, which is more human nature than anything. lol
Will say though, his athletism kept him alive, `cause our (yes, I'm one of those "part of the team" people. lol) O-line is horrendous. We went from a dominating wall to a gap filled dam. And against Mathis and Freeney, they did Eli no favors.
-
I'm not mad at Eli. Man's trying his hardest with 1.9 seconds to throw the ball. The most dominant offensive line in the past 5 years has just become ... offensive. lol
-
Giants= NY= boo!
Not boo, yay! Hop on board a winning bandwagon ... so long as you ignore tonight's game.
-
Think I'm gonna have to turn off the Giants game. Spent a week watching commercials about the Manning Bowl, only to realize that no one told the Giants to show up!
Who's good in Canada?

I'll have to check out The Green Room, that combo alone sounds fantastic.
I think Zack Ryder tweeted in lament about the costume change. It would be nice to see him thrown in to a Midcard title mix, but I don't know if short pants is his ticket.
Was a great show. There's like 6 episodes, of which I caught 4, I think. One had Drew Carrey which I missed, and that irks me a little. And one had Jonathan Winters, who is still sharp after all these years. But the Penn Jillette one was the best, if only because the trio took the time to tell a single joke a piece, all of which were hilarious.
I just worry that the conformity is the final deathnail. Since the change, there's less woo-woo's, and I don't feel I know it as much. And it saddens me some.
-
Absolutely. I watched Shaq Vs on Youtube since I couldn't find it any other way, and I've got the whole series of Bull's *clap* hit (as they used to say on the radio show). Just phenominal. Also, if you haven't seen The Aristocrats yet, check it out - it's a doco that Penn directed along with Paul Provenza about the world's oldest/dirtiest joke, featuring over 100 comedians and their take on it. Gilbert Gottfried is king!
I've heard about it, but yet to see it. I need to find that. Just went to look it up, I didn't realize the vast amount of talent that had been resourced for that film. Definitely need to find it now.
If I'm not mistaken, Paul Provenza also hosts The Green Room, which is just a half hour show of comics shooting the breeze. There's an episode with Penn which is hilarious. It's him, Tommy Smothers, and Martin Mull I believe. If you can find that, I think you'll enjoy it.
And not to derail this too far ... short pants Zack Ryder, legitimate title contender, or conformed cry for help? Discuss.
-
I worship at the altar that is Penn & Teller. Those two make anything great. I watched Shaq Vs. to see them. lol I even picked up Showtime to watch their critically acclaimed Bull ... hockey! Great show, by the by.
I kind of hope they're given some time to do stuff, while still being themselves. Even if it's "simple" tricks, they do it with such flair, it'll probably be better than the rest of the show. lol
-
That I understand, and this is merely a layman's point of view from the outside. And I tend to be a moron, so it's rarely a smart point of view. lol What I meant was, with the mindset that the greater female market was an untapped resource, plus the leanings towards younger viewers (90210 and Gossip Girl), that if Reaper was axed simply because it didn't fit that general direction, it baffled me. And you mentioning ABC is why I was baffled. Although they draw strong with Housewives and such, there's a strong variety, while CW seemed to be restricting towards the same basic target.
And like I said, I was under the impression the show did a strong rating, with the limitations the network faces, when poised against an ABC or a CBS. If it was just myself, Gator, BHK, and 3 guys in a dorm room in Iowa, then everything present in my confusion is moot.
But like I said, I'm a moron. If I ran a network, it'd very much mirror PTV. lol

I work for an affiliate, KPLR CW 11 out of St. Louis but that being said in July we send representatives to Burbank and then to L.A for screenings of upcoming television shows. We don't have any say in them but its so we can be better prepared for advertising and marketing in our areas. Usually its one to three episodes depending on if its viewed as our next big franchise (Vampire Diaries) or something we needed to put on to fill a slot (Nik...er I mean nothing we're not a filler kind of company )
I was upset that they took Reaper away as well as Privileged I thought both of those were home runs. Privileged moved to slow, had too little conflict and not enough strong, likeable female characters and Reaper didn't reach our desired audience the way we had hoped it would.
Nice! I should've gotten a gig in television. I spend enough time worshipping it, it'd have been nice to be paid to do so. lol
I never understood Reaper's dismissal. I thought it had a good rating, considering the limited market that the CW has. And the notion that it was trying to be a more female based network never made sense, since they show Smallville. Unless it was purely economic. And when no one else picked it up, I cried a little.
Cried more when I read the wrap up that the creators did in an interview. Genius storyline, wish I'd gotten to see it play out.
You know what annoys me?When people will use an acronym, then explain the acronym, and then not use the acronym again. You had to type it all the way out to explain it the one time you used it! That doesnt save time! Were you just trying to impress us with your abiility to identify the first letter of every word???
Okay, that has nothing to do with TV (television) so my apologies.
JGMYSRALTLOAABYF!
[That's Jeez GruntMark, you should relax, and let the letters of an acroynm be your friend. Since it was point specific, though, I probably won't use it again.
] -
You know it took longer to type the explanation than it would have to type his full name?
Yeah, but it would've been rude to not express my thinking by shaving 4 letters off his username. Silly!
-
I work for the CW and although I'm not supposed to really say this.....I'll just say your expectations are about where they should be. Even the people in network really aren't as well they just you know. That being said its not horrible and it should be an interesting aspect to our rather one sided view on being a chick station. There will be more ass kicking in this show. That being said one show if you like chick shows everybody should take a look at is Hellcats I've seen it and can say its a fun show.
A-ha, so you're the one who took Reaper away from me!
*forms a mob to rush the castle with pitchforks and torches!*
You work for an affiliate, or the main umbrella, Sten? [Forgive me, I'm lazy, and shorten most all names. lol]

Are you talking about before, or after? Because his whole ceremony-thing before the RKO seems to add to it. On the other hand, the bit he does where he leaps to his feet and clutches at his face is kinda weird.
The aftermath. The build up is great. With the whole viper persona, when he's down on the mat, thumping his fists, before that quickstrike RKO, it's genius. It's a cobra snap. Then he rolls into a pin, gets up, and starts ... dancing like the Jackson 5 is stuck in his head. And all that work goes for naught, `cause he looks doofy. lol
I get ya Prophet, it's weird indeed - I guess he's just trying to sell the "fire" he's feeling after laying everyone out.I guess. Or it's the "viper slither" like Slag said ... it's just so difficult to take Michael Cole seriously. Ever, really. But when he calls Randy the Apex Predator, while the man is doing an awkward version of the Truffle Shuffle.
(Now I'm just curious as to how many awkward comparisons to Orton's shimmy-shake I can make. lol)
-
I'm not a big fan of the flurry of finishes, but what's the deal with Orton looking like he's getting tazed in the tookus everytime he drops someone?
Maybe it's just me, but he seems less dangerous with that weirdo twitch thing going on.

WWE Pro Vickie Guerrero has fired her NXT season three Rookie Diva, Aloisia.
Various sources are reporting that Guerrero, the temperamental Official Consultant of SmackDown, had an argument with her 6-foot-9 Rookie Diva over Vickie’s influence over Aloisia.
The news has left WWE NXT season three shaken before it’s even started. But when reached for comment, Guerrero stated she would reveal her new Rookie Diva on the WWE NXT season three premiere this Tuesday night at 10 p.m. ET on Syfy.
Ha ha, take that, interest in season 3 of NXT!
I'm perplexed by this recent development, as I don't see any benefit from taking the "fascinating" diva out of the lineup. If this is a storyline, that is.
-
Everyone should attend at least one major event if you are a fan.
I would suggest Wrestlemania 17.
But you are going to need a Delorean.
Or a police box.
God speed Prophet. God speed.
Might overshoot with the Delorean, and end up taking my mother to a school dance ... whereas the police box affords me trippy colors. I've made my choice. lol
The closest I ever got was an ECW event in Poughkeepsie, NY, where I told Dawn Marie I loved her, and Justin Credible almost hit me. Good times!
-
The announcers are Byron Saxon (former sidekick to Josh Matthews on ECW) and Abraham Washington!

And I did!!! I've been marking for the guy during his entire run in WWP (South Africa), where he worked as PJ Black, knew he could be a star stateside if he ever got a chance.
I need to try and get back into WWP... so hard without Gabriel, though. He was by far their best guy. That said, "The Perfect Heel" Jason Steele is one for the future. He's, get this: a former bodybuilder and professional strongman (benched 584lbs at the age of 22), and at the same time is a solid in-ring worker and brilliant on the mic (though his accent may be an issue in America). Also had a WWE tryout, but wasn't signed then (maybe in the future? Or maybe the WWE only wants one South African!).
Oh, and Tornado is awesome: he weighs about as much as Triple H and manages to springboard off ropes like Chris Jericho.... and then German suplex guys right over his head.
It's an awesome SE company with plenty of their stuff on Youtube, and I highly recommend it. Heck, gonna go watch some now.
2 South Africans. FCW has a guy named Leo Kruger (better known as Ray Leppan). I only know this because FCW made a huge deal about how he'd followed Gabriel from South Africa to prove he was the one worthy of making it to the `E.
FCW is funny.Everything looks and feels much more professional than your run of the mill small time fed.
And yet there is still like...10 people cheering.
Its a really weird disconnect.
That's true, and it's even weirder in person. I don't get to go often, but when I did go, it was bizarre. I can't really compare it to a huge event, since I've never been, but there's something unsettling about listening to a guy in the ring (Johnny Prime) wonder aloud why no one was cheering for him to escape a submission hold. The match starts, people are ruckus, and soon after, it becomes very much like a Japanese wrestling event, where you sit quietly and wait. lol

Is it wrong that the thing I enjoyed most was watching Otunga get tagged in, being beaten, and sent home?
It wasn't a bad match, for the clu-fuffle of people involved. Little sad that Tarver was dispatched quickly, but have to agree that the Silverback and Slater looked good. Also in agreement about Super Cena. I was all right with it when he eliminated Gabriel (not happy, but all right) and to immediately take out Wade too? Personally, I would've ended it differently.
Little displeased by the Orton/Sheamus ending. In theory, I understand it, with it opening the door for next month, and Cena being "at the back of the line", so Orton gets a rematch, but the DQ ending just seemed off.
Also decided I need to find some way to mute Cole. I know people find Striker annoying, but my only problem with him is he's wishy-washy. When he's a heel commentator, he does it properly. He makes excuses, he finds loopholes to argue, and in the end, although you don't agree with it, you can sort of understand why he feels that way. I don't get that from Cole. If he had an excuse, a justification to have that muffled voice (`cause his lips are attached to Miz's butt!) I may feel different, but he just ... I dunno, irritates me. Where's Joey Styles, when I need him to slap somebody?

D-Von Dudley vs. Big Dick Dudley Jr.
It's the circle of life ... the wheels of fortune ... the leap of faith ... (I haven't the foggiest if those are the real words, or just what I thought sounded good. lol)
Lioness Championship Match
Jazz vs. Alexis
Nate Hatred vs. Andrew Martin
The Briscoe Brothers vs. Bubba Ray and "Banzai" Dudley
Masters of Pain Qualifying Match
Vito Thomaselli vs. AJ Styles
Paul Burchill & Eddie Guerrero vs. Rhino & Chris Hero
-
CM Punk vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri
Lioness Pack Match
Jazz & Kong vs. Alexis & Nathalie
Bubba Ray Dudley vs. Big Dick Dudley Jr.
Draw - no way this match becomes anything less than a clusterfuddle of Dudleys.
"The Prototype" Andrew Martin vs. Rhino
Paul Burchill & Vito Thomaselli vs .Monsters Inc.
As we take one step closer to Vito becoming the heir apparent to Raven.

Is it bad that I squealed like a little girl at a Justin Beiber concert when I saw this? (Or worse that I've just admitted that, or any knowledge of the teen sensation in public?
)Very awesome, Nevvy! I like the international company idea, and considering they're seen as the "tasteful" of the genre, I don't think the risk will be too bad.
And think of the crossover appeal. Heff signs with E! Entertainment Television to start a new reality series called the Girls Next Door, and in the first scene, Kendra Wilkinson is seen, giggling like a buffoon, until Goliath emerges from the bushes, like the oft heard of, but rarely seen Bigfoot ... and steps on her! Crowd rejoices, fade to black. Or, ya know, something better. lol
