2009 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

So you're saying I should watch HIMYM and BBT instead of RAW when that time rolls around out west? Got it.

 

Odd exchange there between Miller and Vince. Should we take that to mean Bret Hart is coming back at some point? Or did Miller just ad-lib that and piss Vince off?
And will Vince, in fact, be appearing at the Chuckle Hut in Paramus?

 

Brilliantly placed rant by Miller, too. Obviously a thinly veiled jab at the entire guest host concept.

 

Yeah, I kinda found that interesting too. Makes you wonder, in a good way.

And that whole segment with the tag titles absolutely blew. If I'm a fan in that arena, I'm majorly pissed. Vince was right, though. That crowd is absolutely dead.

 

And let's see, now we've got a six-man tag that features two guys from Smackdown and two from ECW. Kind-of makes the whole, "Throw Jericho out of Raw" thing to be pretty moot, doesn't it?

 

So much for the ban on Orton-Cena matches. And as a bonus, it looks like we're going to get Invincible Cena for the six weeks leading up to the Rumble. Hell, he'll probably start the Rumble match as No. 1 and eliminate the other 29 guys by himself.
I can't wait.

 

Strange, awful, shitty show.

At least the fans tonight weren't treated to Mark Henry rapping for five minutes.

I did love Triple H calling Dennis Miller Dennis Milburn.

So much stuff didn't make any sense tonight:

Why was Carlito asking about Eve's boobs?
Why is it acceptable for Santino Morella to make a fat joke right in Vicki's face?
Why did Big Dick Johnson act scholarly?
Why hasn't a fan come out of the stands to beat the shit out of Tony Atlas yet?
Why was Finlay of all people wearing a DeGeneration X shirt?
Why was Shawn Michaels asking for a rematch with The Undertaker at a WrestleMania that is still months away?
Why didn't Cena invoke his rematch clause?
Why did Layla wear a dress and high heels that forced Michelle McCool to throw her in the ring?
Why did Michael Cole win a Slammy for throwing up then mock Jim Ross?

Maybe the worst Raw of the year.

 

Not sure about the rest, but this one I CAN answer.
While Carlito was talking about the award they were presenting, Chris Masters was behind him jiggling his pecs to the rhythm of Carlito's voice. Left-right, left-right ... it was like an equalizer display on a stereo. Carlito paused, so did Masters. Carlito picked it up, so did Masters. It was really kind of funny.
After Carlito caught on and told Masters to stop, that was when he asked Eve if she could do that too.

 

That part was hilarious.

 

I actually didn't mind Raw tonight, with the exception of Dennis Miller. God was he awful.

Miller makes Jeremy Piven look like the late 50's version of Bob Hope in terms of hosting Raw.

His monologue was monolame and his screwing up the wrestler names made it impossible for me to take seriously.

I mean, these guys must be booked weeks in advance right? Between this douche, Piven and the Nascar idiots, you'd think the WWE was doing groundbreaking superstar introductions every week.

There's no excuse to botch a name. None.

Be professional for fucks sake.

 

Dennis Miller was pretty much the reason I didn't watch RAW. He is not funny. Never has been. How do people find this insufferable douche even remotely humorous?

 

Already answered. Ironic, though, that the WWE doesn't allow blood, but it's OK to mention women's boobs and PMS (Golddust)

Because making fat jokes at the expense of middle-aged widows is fun, according to the WWE (having said that, I hate Vicki's hairstyle).

I flipped the channel when Big Dick came on. Can't stand that character.

Atlas' laugh is so bad, it's actually good. I find myself laughing.

Because the WWE wants you to forget that Finlay is Hornswoggle's dad because that whole angle got botched when they were determining who was his father originally.

Michaels got caught up in the moment of winning the Slammy. Or, it's a swerve to get people thinking of a rematch, then Cena, with his 'I'm not losing again.." spiel meets 'Taker

Because Jericho is really a lot smarter than Cena.

Ridiculous booking for the women again. I knew only two wrestlers would actually get in the ring. They've done these 14-women tags before where only two of them ever get in the ring.

Because Cole has insecurity issues.

Yeah, I agree. Horrible Raw. I kept changing the channel. Had no interest in the main event.
