They're also mostly showing crap right now. Aside from the 200 level seats on the far side of the arena, I wouldn't want any of them.

That's why those seating charts are bad? Why would anyone pick Floor 45? If they didn't show the map and someone just picked best available they would go "sweet I got floor tickets".
 
Jeff Jarrett, Dutch Mantel, and Dave Lagana's India Project looks awesome. It's official name is Ring Ka King supposedly which means King of the Ring in English. They posted some photos of the set

has there been any talk about why Vince lets Cole do what he does or whats the opinion of people backstage about his commentary?

Its not like Cole has any merchandise to sell and its probably slowly hurting the ratings.


The announcers are probably the most important part of the shows TV presentation and Cole just makes it unbearable by LOUDLY TALKING OVER EVERYONE AND IGNORING THE MATCHES!



I still think he would make a great heel manager for someone.

I always thought that Cole got away with what he does because he is literally Vince's mouthpiece.

Pretty much says what is feed to him.

And if it makes Vince laugh, well yeah...

I think you just pegged the exact reason why I can't stand Cole.

He's an unreasonable brainless kiss-ass who only works to appease the out of touch, racist, homophobic boss even when it comes to the detriment of business. I used to work for a manager who was exactly fucking like that.
Makes me want to go back and drop some elbows on that place.
 
I rewatched several times, it look like he hurt whatever he did before the LeBelle Lock. It was after the drop kick from the top.

I have a feeling the fall into the LeBelle Lock did it. Del Rio dropped his whole weight to the ground when Bryan was still holding / pulling his arm - which might have torn a muscle.
 
Random question: Anyone on the west coast notice no longer get the live feed of Raw? For whatever reason, the USA HD channel I get (Comcast, btw) started showing the show at 8pm instead of the usual 6pm. Have no idea why this is. Wondering if it's just me.... :/

I mentioned this twice yesterday, It sucks!!!

Watch the video again. I think he pulled a groin or upper thigh muscle coming in from the tag because he kinda limps over to the drop kick and then stays in the corner and down in obvious pain. He's not holding his face like he should from the kick, he's down near his upper thigh. He holds it again after he throws Bryan into the turnbuckle post and is clearly fucked up when he enters the hold that led to the LeBelle Lock. You'll also notice that ADR isn't showing any signs of pain before being tagged in. Right after he enters from the tag he stumbles and is in pain from that point on.

Seriously, my respect for him just went up a ton. He probably has a serious pull and he still fought through it. Mad props.

Now that I watch the ending part too, I think the ref told Punk that ADR was really hurt bad and Punk talks to Bryan and Ryder and tells them to get out of the ring so they don't have to continue showing ADR writhing in pain. tells them something but not what I thought before.
 
This is actually really nice, IMO.
this still makes me mad just thinking about it.

Beth Phoenix isn't a super talented wrestler who should be invincible, but in no way did she deserve to get squashed like that.

And you could tell that the botch was dangerous as shit. Couple inches over and she probably ends up with a broken orbital.
Don't forget Aretha was acting all weird and hopping around and smiling like all creepy and shit.

Yup, that's exactly what i saw. From the hurt groin all the way to Punk telling the boys do what they could to take the cameras and crowds attention off of what happened.
 
"-WWE has rescinded their contract offer to Ring of Honor star Chris Hero after results from his drug test showed elevated testosterone levels, reports WrestlingNewsWorld.com."

That really sucks. What could cause that other than he is illegally taking testosterone with Ryan Braun.

"How you like that Jerry, huh?! Your mother is dead. How does that make you feel?!"

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with my mouth, unlike J.R.'s."

It's not heel stuff. It is pathetic attempts at cheap heat. Vince has his laughs, I'm sure.

Meanwhile Miz, the actual heel at that time, offers his sincere condolences to Lawler over his mother's death during a promo.
 
They even acknowledge Cole sucks and they know people hate him, but they seem to think he is doing a great job for some reason. Having him on both shows just makes it even worse. Atleast on Smackdown Matthews is out there to balance things a little. Meltzer seems to think they only gave Daniel Bryan the world title right now so they can get it off of him before Wrestlemania so he isn't in one of the main matches.
 
Well he can still go to TNA or back to ROH I guess. He is also in that Wrestling Revolution project which looks awesome. I'm surprised they just didn't tell him to get off of the steroids and hire him anyway. I'd say a large majority of indy guys take steroids that have decent looking bodies.

I believe this 100%

In their minds it would be silly to put him in the main event of WM before he's proven himself as a draw and I can accept that strategy. What matters is how he's booked now as champion, tapping out Del Rio is a good start.
I also believe that if he does get a support base that WWE could still put him back in a main event spot or at least he'll be in one of those feuds that are more important than the IC/US Titles but not as important as the World titles
 
Hey I know you guys hate MMA and all but the next PPV is free on XBL, just download the UFC App and "pay" 0 dollars for the PPV which occurs on Dec. 30.

Man if I had a 360 I would be all over that. Should be a great night of fights. Plus Lesnar is fighting so it is kind of wrestling related:)
 
I'm not sure how the signing process works but wouldn't Hero have known that they decided not to sign him before he announced his leaving PWG? I would think that he would already have signed at that point.
 
Maybe they are still going to bring him in? I posted that, but the source is dubious, so it might not be true. They have been right on a few things before other sites in the past though usually dealing with indys or TNA.

Did you get it from rajah, because it's on there too?

I really hope they're wrong. Claudio coming in alone doesn't seem right.
 
Thinking back on Raw, who thought it was a good idea for Michael Cole to bury 3 of the champions of their company?
They even acknowledge Cole sucks and they know people hate him, but they seem to think he is doing a great job for some reason. Having him on both shows just makes it even worse.
You keep forgetting Entertainment Priority Rule #1 from my list...

In order of priority...

1) VINCE... the insane one must be entertained above all else
Cole serves this purpose better than almost anything on the show outside of JR being humiliated. Trolling smarks (Audience #10) is also something that amuses Vince. Propping Bryan up only to tear him down afterwards is something he will get his jollies from. Until then he can at least get his shots in vicariously through his on-screen avatar... Michael Cole.

You need to stop thinking of Cole as a human being. He is a willing puppet. Vince's hand is up his ass and Cole's job is to be the voice of Vince to the WWE Universe while Vince huddles off-camera in gorilla. The reason Cole is on all of the shows is because it allows Vince to be on all of the shows at any time should he choose to be.

The times where Vince is disinterested in what's happening on-screen are usually the instances where Cole "regresses" into his early 2000s role of play-by-play announcer where he's typically a lot more tolerable (although still a far cry from the level he actually was back in those days). He's actually ripped off a lot of the "factoid" gimmickry to fill time that Striker used to employ because it's easier to fill time with that nonsense than actually calling matches.

If something happens on the show that seems downright debilitating to the on-screen product and helps NO ONE, just refer to the "entertainment priority list" and you'll usually find the answer as to why something happened within the first 2 or 3 reasons.

Just got this. I wanted to get in the preview which got the last 2 PPV's free as well, but whatever. HD streamed on my TV for free? YES PLEASE.
 
scrubbed through Raw looking for my/my friends signs. FOUND SOME

Lobster Head/Too Many Limes/#We Hate'm/Make My Christmas Eve (my friend is a huge Eve mark for some reason)

"We hate him" is a Simpsons reference
Moe: Well, well. Look who it is, Mr. "I Don't Need Alky-hol to Enjoy Life." We hate him, right fellas?
Barflies: [grumble]
Homer: Moe, give me a beer.
Moe: Hey everybody, Homer's back.
Barflies: [grumbles]

and man, listening to the broadcast, Cole is fucking insufferable.
 
Saw this posted on another board:

These videos are hyping a potential WM28 feud between CM Punk and Chris Jericho and here's why: In the video the little boy is representing Jericho and the little girl is representing Punk. Keep this in mind throughout my explanation. Notice, how the little boy continues to write in his notebook and the little girl keeps trying to look at what he is writing. Once the boy goes into the corner (Jericho's time off from WWE), The girl tries to do the work herself, but can't come up with anything. Keep in mind that she looked at the boy's notebook and this is implying that she has stolen the boy's work, which represents Jericho going to come back and claim that Punk is a fraud and has stolen his ideas and gimmick and what not. Also the ball in the video represents Jericho "dropping the ball" by leaving and Punk "taking the ball and running with it". The ball belonged to the boy and the girl took. At the end the girl is standing in the spotlight and the boy is in the dark with his head down indicating that we have forgotten about Jericho and that Punk is the new guy we all know and love. This will lead to WM match with Punk and Jericho. Look within the video not what the kid is saying...

Makes a lot of sense.
 
so the people waiting for the party to start are saying it's going to be
Daniel Bryan vs Dolph Ziggler. tonight
