milamber Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 <p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Raw Review:</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>The Great</strong> - Punk & NOA vs The Shield (fun match, Reigns beast mode and an NOA heel turn). The Usos vs The Wyatt Family (I marked out hard when Bryan turned on Bray in the cage!)</p><p> <strong>The Good</strong> - Sandow vs Cena (both guys pulled out new moves). Emma sighting. Orton vs Kofi (shock win for Kofi and Orton going nuts was cool). RhodesDust vs Rybaxel (loving Ryback right now).</p><p> <strong>The OK</strong> - Rey vs Del Rio</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Verdict:</strong> Above average show. A couple of stand-out matches, NOA turned heel and Bryan turned face to a huge pop. Too much repetitious booking, though.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'm watching Old School Raw finally. The "Old School" presentation is so much more appealing to watch than the current presentation. The stage set up, the on screen graphics, just everything is nice to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milamber Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Ryback is killing it on Twitter. Even Cole mentioned it on Raw. It's a shame when wrestlers like Ryback, Big E and Kaitlyn are entertaining and charasmatic behind the scenes but hardly get to show it on TV. http://cdn0.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/317293/Ryback_Lawler.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an amazing lady she was. Coming up with one of the first promoters to focus on the ladies in Billy Wolfe and still being a vital part of the scene in the 21st century. Truly a life lived well. And the sense of humor she portrayed in the later years of her life. A lot of her contemporaries could have been bitter about where women's wrestling has gone in modern times. But Mae was able to get past that and make a legacy unto itself in poking fun at the T&A focus many have today. The woman is a legend in the truest sense of the word and she will be missed. RIP Mae. You did well.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame when wrestlers like Ryback, Big E and Kaitlyn are entertaining and charasmatic behind the scenes but hardly get to show it on TV. http://cdn0.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/317293/Ryback_Lawler.jpg Rumor is these comments on Twitter are giving him some backstage heat/keeping him in the dog house. Of course, the rumor's are saying the same thing about Batista because he made a comment to Alberto Del Rio about being a "C" player, on a "B" roster. The whole locker room supposedly was upset with that, and so he deleted his tweet. Don't know if there is actually any "real" heat involved... I'm hoping not and that it's all part of the show so to speak... Makes all the rumor sights a "part" of the show, and makes them look very gullible at the same time. EDIT: Forgot to say my RIP for Mae Young. RIP Mae Young, you will be missed and remembered for all the right reasons. I held off a bit because there was some inaccurate accounts of her death before it happened. I'd like to add how proud I am every time you guys are so considerate to post these things. Makes me think of how great I really do think this community is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHK1978 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I went to Smackdown on Tuesday night, the show was nothing special. I reminds of why I never watch Smackdown. I believe this was the first WWE TV taping (I have been to plenty of Pay-Per-Views) I had been to since around the time they did a Superstars taping during the IC Tournament that Curt Hennig ended up winning. So that tells you how long it has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSelfDestruct Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I went to Smackdown on Tuesday night, the show was nothing special. I reminds of why I never watch Smackdown. Really I think it depends what kind of fan you are. I for one almost like SMackdown more because the workers are given more in-ring time and its less about the soap opera.

Jaysin Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I know this is super off topic and random, but I just found one of my favorite bits of commentary from WCW. Tony Schiavone: Mafia kick to the head. Bobby Heenan: A what? Dusty Rhodes: What the hell is a mafia kick? Tony Schiavone: That's what he calls it. Bobby Heenan: Why can't you just say he kicked him in the head? Dusty Rhodes: He's Samoan, from the Polynesian islands, the mafia didn't have nothin' to do with that kick!! Tony Schiavone: Well I was just calling it by it's name. Bobby Heenan: HE KICKED HIM IN THE HEAD TONY!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stennick Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I don't even know the last time I WATCHED Smackdown I think the last time I watched a full episode of Smackdown was Benoit vs. Eddie in 2005. Even then I never regularly watched Smackdown since 2003 when it really was the best wrestling tv show around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
