The highlight of Kozlov's career, that pretty much sums him up.
It's gonna be an UberTag team match playa!.....I couldn't resist.
WWE parents on the corporate side of their website, he's got those family values to uphold.

1. He's also the best talent scout they've ever had and isn't one to mince words if it goes against what he believes
2. Probably, but AJ is doing a fine job
3. AJ got involved in an actual wrestling match. Men have closed out Raw by interfering in matches before as well. It seems like a lot of the criticism thrown at AJ is that she doesn't count as important because she's not in a "women's" story, but what does it really fucking matter? She is a woman with meaningful involvement in a wrestling story that isn't tied to being aligned with a man, that's what we call progress
4. JR was talking about an backstage segment that could've had a blinking sign that said FORESHADOWING on it and it seems like you'd still miss it.

This Yes! chant has to be one of the best things in a long time, sadly enough. It provides me with endless cheap laughs.
loved thatAlso, love how Jericho basically doing part of his wcw character with his hilarious over reactions like when John Cena came out last for that tag match:
You know, I noticed that. Everyone else seemed to just have a cubicle, while Kane had his own huge ass office. Shows you where he is on the totem pole.
Big Show: cubicle
Kane: Cool Ass Office.

Because we're all crazy people with varying levels of bad taste when it comes to This Business. I've accepted that fact and am seeking help.
WWE can't close. And if you can't close, what happened before doesn't matter. It's all about the ending. I'd rather hold my cynicism close and feel nothing when they inevitably screw it up.
He attends meetings in mask.
Maybe that's why Show beat him in 4 minutes. He got lazy in his fancy office. Needs more of the old embraccing the hate instead of complacency.
It still doesn't compare to this three minute SQUASH match that Kane laid on Show back in 2002. (note the beautiful girl with the Kane sign at the end).

I agree on both parts. The Yes! chant is just so fucking good and its even better that it came from Bryan himself.
I'm going to keep saying every now and then that I want more Bryan and Jericho. Jericho has always been my favorite with Jeff Hardy and The Rock. I was a huge mark when Jericho came to Raw and faced The Rock.
Kane probably has some assistant doing all of his work. Sell out!

If there is one thing I hope we can all agree on, it's that these two should not be in singles matches together. They do not mesh well, ever.
Very few mesh well with Big Show. Outside of Kane, the WWE doesn't have any other competent big man wrestler.
God damn I miss the old Kane. But this match was awkward. It was hard to take Show down and really it's hard watching him with the other wrestlers on the roster because it's hard for him to fake an injury.
Glad he got his shoulder hit with that chair last night.

But of course, Big show answers to Kane, the cake dialogue is evidence of this.
Kane kicks out the showstopper, Show cannot handle the chokeslam from hell. Even his chokeslam is higher on the totem pole.
I do miss the classic Big Show Showstopper though, awesome move, now in the off chance he does it over the punch of infinite blandness it's usually kind of cack.
Show is an absolutely terrible wrestler. They had Kane squash him, simply to prove a point. Big Show is the only wrestler that I can ever remember where the Undertaker actually called him out on a public shoot interview as being a complete disappointment. Taker is a guy who loves to protect the business, but even he had no problem shitting on Show (like Vince did a few weeks back). Big Show is a complete underachiever.

And what pisses me off is that he could be great. His ECW title run was fantastic (arguably the best world title run of the past decade in the WWE), but that was because he was motivated. He totally lacks it, however.

Even Vince was so disappointed with Show in 2000 that he booted him out to lose weight and WWE removed him from WWF No Mercy and Smackdown 2 games.
At least I think that's how it goes.

Yeah, they kicked him out and sent him to OVW (after giving him a WWF title run, lol), so that he could learn how to properly wrestle. The amazing thing is that the Taker shoot that I linked to comes a year after Show came back from OVW, lol.

They even gave him a WM main event in the same year, maybe that's why he got bum rushed out of the match in like 2 minutes.
Kane wins again, he got to main event WM20 in a singles match.
Which is probably why he had such little motivation. It pisses me off that push after push gets wasted on this guy. Yeah, he'll just get jobbed out, but I would rather have seen Tensai get the damn push than Show.
You're damn right he did.
I think Tensai was originally given the story, or push, but they had the repackage idea. Giving Big Show these random, big pushes that makes him out to be a monster has been done so many times already - it's tiresome. I think I enjoyed him most when he was in the tag division with Miz and previously before that with Jericho.
When Barrett comes back I want him to be in the main event scene. Guy has the look, skillset, and mic work. It's so embarrassing they buried him in the Nexus-Cena angle; he seemed to be going places when he pushed Orton down the stairs. Unfortunately they kind of screwed that up too with an unfinished climax.

Does that include your mention of our favourite masked man?

Big Show can wrestle..he just can't pull off some moves because ya..know...he'll kill people with them. You need to be 400lbs+ for Show to pull off a top rope elbow. His moonsault would kill a normal man.
The most memorable Raw with women ending the show had to be Trish vs. Victoria in a street fight. The best women's match on free tv in forever.
2nd was Lita getting chair raped by Stone Cold

It still pisses me off so much that that careless oaf injured Barrett. The guy would be in the main event scene by now, but he's not even in any of the ladder matches because of Big Show.

he was ON last Monday night lol. even did the flexing pin. what time smackdown start??
I found this interesting because review a wai were going to review the 500 episode of Raw but couldn't find it, but I found a review of the show. Man, the anger in this review goes right through the monitor and could of been written by a poster here.
It also, shows that Raw 2012 is still better than raw in 2002 though its not saying much.

you actually can watch Smackdown live on Tuesdays if you have one of those giant satellite dishes in your yard with the right descrambler or you can wait til Wednesday morning at 11am east for WWE to send the show to the networks.
Thanks. I knew tonight was live but was talking about for the rest of the SmackDowns.
Not sure if your being sacastic or not. I was asking a question and wanted a straight answer. I didn't know anything about when Friday SmackDown comes on TV it's actually a taping from Tuesday. I never knew this or cared. Until now.
It was a question. Thanks away.
Dude, he's not being sarcastic or trying to be rude. That is the legit answer.

This is true, that is how the Steph McMahon boob slip on the announce table leaked.
Yeah, there used to be a video on youtube of a bunch of stuff from Live SD! that someone got off of a descrambled signal on their satellite.

While that show doesn't sound great at all, they spent time furthering storylines in both the women's and tag team divisions. Sounds like an improvement to me
Gee, he got into a brawl. Wow. Big deal. I like his music. That's why selected that pic as my avatar.
