Major missed opportunity for him in 2000. If he was a Democrat, he could have appeared with
Al Gore! Gore! Gore!

RAMW Review
Charlotte and Sasha have great matches, but hoo boy do they kinda stink on the mic. Charlotte is ok as long as she stays in her safe space of the character she's created and doesn't let the crowd rattle her. Sasha is awful to my ears. Thank Wrestling God JBL that Jericho and Enzo saved that, to the extent they did. Sasha's so bad, she could join Enzo and Cass permanently as Carmella adjace if all she has to do is stumble over her lines. I love how the ref was just used to giving Charlotte her title back. Poor Sasha. Didn't even have sideplates. Tells me that was a hotshot. Ambrose must have been planned. Got plates for the next day.

Jesus, Roman really is in wrestling jail, going after the US title. Oh, shit. That's the top men's singles title on Raw. He's still in the hunt for the main belt. Goddamn it, Vince.

Save big on your long distance phone calls with the new WWE AT&T Universal Championship card. Seth Rollins and Finn Balor carry it, why don't you?

New Day's bananna and oranges ... I lol'd.

I noticed that The E gave us Bork Lazer being RKO'd outta nowhere to give a big enough surprise to not have to discuss his lack of drug testing.

SmackDown Live Laments
Holy shit, was Ambrose's promo on point or what? That's some great mic work. He's walking a thin line between fighting champ babyface and asshole heel in trying to make a face vs. face program with Ziggler interesting.

I still don't care about the Miz. He's dragging down the IC title by doing the same bland schtick. I don't even know who the blue monkey hell Apollo Crews is, so I'll care even less when he wins the belt.

So, SmackDown writers decide the best use of the (title-less) women's division is to have its top face NOT have a match with one of its lousiest workers in a worked injury angle. AN INJURY SUSTAINED FROM GETTING OFF THE SECOND GODDAMN ROPE. With so much plastic, I figured Eva Marie would be more sturdy. So, Becky is left hanging to cut to Rene Russo and Carmello Anthony doing a shitty interview that Catwoman interupts. Later, we get another match that didn't start because A. Everyone stopped watching because Carmella is a disaster with her fake accent, and B. Catwoman attacked Jersey Girl. Jesus. My head hurts. No wonder SmackDown Lame didn't get the women's title. Poor Becky.

AJ Styles and John Cena. Ugh, how many times do I have to watch the same fuckin' John Cena promo just to set up a match we know he's going to win? This whole angle is deflated without The Club.

Bray looked like he got his ankle caught in the roll up, but he seemed to work through it. Is this guy injury prone or what? Great match, though, because of the psychology. He made Dolph look like more than a ragdoll to the main eventers. (Then again, who has Bray Wyatt ever beat?) I'm guessing we get a tag team match next week, featuring Champion Dean Ambrose and Challenger Dolph Ziggler vs. The Wyatts. Holla holla, playas.

 

HA! I have an AT&T Universal Card. Got it in college in 1994 or 1995, right when I turned 18, and have had it ever since. I wonder if I can still make long distance calls with it for 10 cents a minute?

 

Maybe you should try Mean Gene's 1-900 number.

 

1-900-909-9900

 

I love how the NetWWErk has to blur Mean Gene's hotline number off of Nitro.

 

OH YOU NO GOOD BASTARD! ROMAN REIGNS WITH A CHEAP SHOT ON HENRY CAVILL! WHAT'S HE DOING ON SMACKDOWN?

 

Knowing some people, they would probably try to call it.

 

Given the weekend's various Twitter flare ups......which wrestler would you most like to see kick the crap out of Connor McGregor?

I'm going with Chad Gable, probably the most comparable guy in the company size-wise. 2012 Olympian, I'm fairly confident he could land a take down and lay on the Irishman long enough to score a decision.

 

So what are the odds the McGregor thing is a work? I'm thinking he's going to be at Wrestlemania against someone.

 

So apparently, ESPN anchor and former WWE announcer Todd Grisham got into a bit of trouble with the Twitterz. Something about ripping Ichiro for not knowing English after 15 years in the majors, even though he actually is quite fluent in the language.

We may be seeing Grisham as a backstage host for Velocity or Heat again quite soon.

 

Did Sin Cara spend the past month mainlining burritos? Or is that somebody else under the mask?
Dude looks like he put on about 30 pounds, and not in a good way.
