Blue shirt dude is like your generic Indy Flippy guy.

He "ran the ropes" off a fence then took a spear breh, that's paying dues brother.

 

[BHZ Mayor]

So I just bought tickets to Raw on Oct 6th at Barclays.

Do you think mah boi DBry will be champion by then?

No, because he'll never be champion, and if he does ever become champ, it won't last more than one PPV period.

Cynicism aside, a Bryan reign likely won't be in place on October 6. GotG comes out on August 1. Batista will most definitely become champion (if he's not already) at Summerslam, August 17. If Batista goes into Summerslam as champ, there may be a small chance of Bryan getting the belt at Night of Champions, September 21, and lasting until the October 6 Raw.

Wow, Stephanie and Vince just bury Mike Adamle. Amazing.

Mean Gene is easily my favorite part about the Bloopers Countdown. He's funnier than I thought.

It'll be on July 27th at either The Garage in Islington or The Electric Ballroom in Camden (both are in the north of Central London) - tickets won't be on sale until May 26th I think, but they sell out super quick (27 minutes last time they ran The Garage), so I can grab some for you if you're interested? The prices aren't too bad, £15 for 3rd row, £20 for 2nd row and £25 for front row, with standing for £10.

I'd like to. I'm piecing together some details and I'll let you know.

I'm legit shook. Our Spanish professor announced were were doing oral exams today and we had to talk to him for 10 minutes about the topics of his choosing. Professor heel turn.

So the Divas match is a Fatal 14-way?

I love how AJ's tapped out pretty much the entire division so they have to throw literally everyone at her to get the title off of her

Of course that's not the story they're telling

 

[Rapstah]

They're putting the belt on Eva Marie. I'm so sorry.

She loses on weekly shows but prevails on the PPV. It's been that way for several months. They keep shoving Nattie, Brie, Nikki, or Naomi but never seem to decide which actual face they want to push (or is it suppose to be that way?). Something something Total Divas. Either way it's like how they booked the WHC often; lose on TV but retain on the PPV, rinse repeat. Title prestige in the toilet, nobody cares, etc.

God DAMN this show is good. Sting/Cactus is one of my favorites from either guy. Rude/Steamboat is fucking excellent. 5 star shit to me. 6 man tag is rad. Steiners vs MVC is a super Japanese match in Florida.

 

[Showaddy]

I'd be morbidly curious to see Eva Marie as Women's champ together with Batista as WWE champ. Like just so I could say I was there to see the absolute worst champions in wrestling history.

Real Vince McMahon is confirmed to be a poor lover?

He seriously had a boat called the Sexy Bitch?

 

[Heel]

Putting the gold on an unaccomplished women's wrassler from the Total Divas cast is almost assuredly better for the WWE's bottom line. There's more to This Business than in-ring savvy, friends. AJ will join season three if she knows what's best for business-ah.

 

[Vylash]

I want Eva Marie to win it and steal Eve's gimmick of being an ironic face

Got Linda in a bunch of shit for it during her Senator bid. Fuck it!

It really is the smart move to promote someone on Total Divas as the champion, that was something lacking in S1. You watch Total Divas and none of them are the champ - so what do you do when you want to see more Eva Marie outside of TD? You don't watch WWE programming because she's not a sure thing.

Give her the belt, influence a new generation of women to be wrestlers. Do the math, it's simple.

 

[Macho Madness]

Apparently they did ask AJ to be on Total Divas, but she declined

Total Divas is the women's story line now and should influence where the title goes, whether people like it or not. They do not dedicate enough time to women in the regular programming to make people give a damn.

I know JoJo better than AJ Lee. That says something.

Rude/Steamboat is just so good. One of my favorite matches ever from any era and any promotion. It's such a shame that Rude never got to show how good he was in WWF.

I told a friend that Owen even gets the jobber entrance during his Wrestlemania Rewind match, and he said "Owen had the most memorable entrance of all time. He shouldn't mind."

 

[Jamie OD]

Wow, Stephanie and Vince just bury Mike Adamle. Amazing.

I felt bad for Adamle that he wasn't there to defend himself.

 

[Aiii]

There is next to no overlap between the Total Divas audience and the Raw audience. The holder of the Divas Title being on Total Divas or not means nothing really.

It's time for AJ to drop the title, but I hope it's to Tamina, because that would be the logical next step for a Divas Title feud for Extreme Rules.

Instead it'll be Nikki, because Cena wins lol.

Does it not make the most sense for AJ to lose the title to Tamina? It's literally the only story they have in that division right now.

 

[Serpentine]

Tamina is terrible but she's middle of the road as far as the Divas are concerned b/c that's where the division is at right now

 

[Vylash]

Do we really want Tamina as a face? Do we reeeeeeeeeeally want that?

Melisandre gimmick would be so dope.

 

[Data West]

Is there a story? Because it just seems like she's just there. Like there was supposed to be a story there, and there isn't one now.

AJ is reaching Gregory Helms levels of 'we forgot you had the title after the buzz wore off' where there is no story.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Tamina is soooo bad.

I dare someone watch her end of match "celebration" last night at ME without laughing their ass off. She cannot act worth shit. I'm not even asking for mic skills, just simple facial expressions for fuck's sake, she can't even get that right.

To be fair though, she does have a mean super kick. Just as long as she doesn't harm my #Queen with it.

Interested to see some Okada/Fale interactions and seeing how Nick Jackson does in what's got to be the biggest match of his career. I was only going to get one of these, but the main event of the 1st one looks potentially awesome, so I'll probably end up getting both, lol.

I like the parallels in this Rewind between Bret and DBry.

The morbid part of me immediately went to a joke about hoping Bryan's opponents die young too.
