I haven't really followed "Legends House" on the network, but according to this story, there was some earthshaking news in the season finale.

SPOILER ALERT BELOW




WAIT FOR IT ....





Pat Patterson is GAY!

Cue the Capt. Renault references.

 

What a shocker!

 

Chuckled at that Yahoo! headline too. JR "outed" him on Raw with the fellas he's single comment what, 15 years ago?

 

Hell, all the guys there he "came out" to have known the truth for -- what -- at least 30 years.

 

I've watched Legends' House in full. It's the usual reality fare for the first two thirds of the run, but shit gets heavy at the end. I'd go so far to say some of it got absolutely depressing.

 

Damn. The E should have been kind and just released Cody.

That was silly, but harmless.

I kinda marked out over the Reigns/Rusev confrontation at the end of the battle royal. That was old-school fun.

 

I dunno, I thought it was hilarious.

And he debuted the new finisher that Masato Tanaka (I think that was him) in ECW used a lot.

 

Raw was nothing special. Seems like lately, Raw episodes are so-so while the PPVs feature strong matches.

So, is The Shield officially done? It appears that Ambrose is going to chase Rollins while Reigns is shoved into the title picture. You can tell it's a huge work-in-progress backstage without a lot of firm decision making because it's coming across on TV. Where to start? Ring gear. Seriously, does it take weeks to come up with a set of trunks and get the seamstress to sew them? The Shield is done, but everybody is still wearing black riot gear. Well, Ambrose wrestled in street clothes. Music? Okay, I understand that the music will take a little longer to create. But is the only filler music available for these guys sound the same? The Shield's theme was generic enough to start, but Rollins and now Ambrose have new music. All sounds the same. Heavy guitar riffs! Reigns is just using the Shield music. How am I supposed to know who's making a run in if it all sounds the same? Jim Johnston is losing his touch. I'm guessing that's why CFO$ is doing more themes.

Of the three participants in the MitB championship match, three have never held a world title: Cesaro, Reigns, and Wyatt. Will one of them get the prize or is it CenaWinsLOL! ...?

Steph puking on Vicki. Jesus.

In non-Raw ramblings, dirt sheets reporting that Punk and AJ tied the knot recently.

 

I can only hope for a Bray Wyatt victory.

 

Plus, I'm really sick of hearing Lawler whine about Orton getting a spot in the MitB championship match without qualifying. Cole was fed a line about this being Orton's WrestleMania championship rematch since he never got one against Bryan. Because absolutely no one wanted to see another strong Orton/Bryan match over a halfway-built Bryan/Kane feud. (sarcasm) Lawler's delivery is bad enough, but now he's just being fed shit to stay that makes no sense when a perfectly logical explanation is provided.

 

A Bray victory would be awesome.
