Show gave an audible "FUCK" when he was getting up.

 

the most interesting three seconds of last night's show was when cena was kissing eve and it looked like he was reciprocating. i thought that it was, at long last, the beginning of the cena heel turn, and i was surprised in a good way—looking forward to cena as the cocky bully who takes your girlfriend.

but no, it was not to be.

 

God bless, Kane. He's trying with this angle.

But. It's. Just. So. Bad.

 

Randy Orton was pulled from the Smackdown Elimination Chamber at tonight's Smackdown tapings, ostensibly due to a concussion suffered against Big Show on Raw on Monday.

His replacement was determined in a battle royale. The winner is ...

Santino <-- spoiler

 

So maybe that's why he botched the RKO....

 

Or maybe he actually is getting punished for botching really, really badly on Raw? It wouldn't surprise me if McMahon freaked out on him, and it wouldn't be the first time he's been at the center of a botching controversy.

 

Does it really matter? As in, does anyone really give a crap about the divas division? Outside of a small handful of them, they can't pull off the heel role anyway because none of them are worth a crap on the mic. Mostly because they don;t get the mic-time, but doesn't matter, it is what it is. . Not to the point where anyone cares about them.

 

Yeah, but usually it was the other guy who botched and Orton was the one who went nuts. Unless Vince is trying to teach Orton a lesson on being nice when the opponent botches, it really wouldn't make sense. And it's not like anyone got hurt (like R-Truth) in the botch. It was just embarrassing.

And as someone who has stepped in the ring now multiple times, Vince ought to know that no one is perfect. That's why he's always in street fights instead of actual matches.

 

Didn't see this posted earlier on the thread, but looks like Vince Russo is done with TNA.

If Russo is gone, does that mean the stupid ass Eric Young segments are two seconds behind him?

 

I must say, I always enjoyed the Eric Young skits from a few years back, when Miss Brooks was pretending to be into him. I remember one sketch where Young and Borash was in a convenience store late at night so Young could buy condoms.

Here comes James Storm, looking to pick up a few cases of beer. He drunkenly wanders over to Young, now at the cashier, and belts out, 'Hey, y'all! Eric Young's buyin' rubbers!"

Split my side laughing.

 

Meanwhile, yesterday, the WWE announced that next year's Wrestlemania will be held at .... Metlife Stadium in NJ.

An awful lot of people may be freezing their asses off next year. Not to mention, what if it rains?
