WTF is that? And they called Brodus Clay dangerous.

In reality, that move doesn't have Tensai ICHIBAN grabbing Punk by much. It's supposed to look as if he grabs him by the throat and gets him 8 feet in the air just by strangling him, but that's not what's happening.

So wouldn't that mean Punk messed up his jump into the move?

That move should have been this:

Maybe Punk's legs straightened up when they shouldn't have, but it just looks bad.

It was Punk's botch, it happens.

I find this version a lot worse because Alex Riley shouldn't need a god damn countdown in order to take a move.

 

[Kaladin]

I was more looking at the way Punk was slammed down....that seemed a bit rough.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Yeah, Punk fucked that up by not wrapping his legs. It's just a move that's not done often anymore in the WWE.

 

[Kaladin]

Yeah, Punk fucked that up by not wrapping his legs. It's just a move that's not done often anymore in the WWE.

It's a shame too, the sit-out powerbomb looks awesome as a finisher when done right.

The Sky High was always a personal favorite finisher of mine.

Punk was botching all over the place last night... both on the mic and in the ring.
Was too preoccupied with tweeting about Paul E. and watching the Cubs to do his job properly.

 

[Linkified]

If he's going to remain the comedy guy, few things:

1) decrease the length of his intro
2) stop the squash matches
3) stop the fuckin' undefeated streak

I know its late but, after seeing Brodus try to "sell" he needs aa longer intro, faster matches and then have whichever heel you are bringing up from FCW like KO have him beat him for TKO and then a short feud and repackage Brodus Clay.

I wouldn't do my job well for that crowd either.
Fucking Carolinas

 

[Professor Beef]

I hope you're all happy, Zack Ryder has a dvd release now.

"Today, Zack competes with the upper-echelon of WWE every week and shows no signs of slowing his momentum."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The Sky High was always a personal favorite finisher of mine.

Lo-Down > Sky High

Both were great, though. <3 D-Lo.

Punk is actually one of the biggest botchers in the company.

 

[Plywood]

Zack fell off the map when they made him and Cena the best of pals and he got shoehorned into Kane filler. Even though Eve wasn't heel but then she became heel after she got saved by Cena from Kane.

Does this make sense?

 

[UberTag]

All of the crowds outside of the wrestling heartbed cities suck because the WWE has conditioned them to suck.
They've chased anyone outside of the Cena-fan jimmies away from their product.

Somehow I doubt the very first Unforgiven PPV held in 1998 at the very same arena had equally bad fan response for Austin vs. Dude Love for the title and Taker vs. Kane in the first-ever Inferno match.

Lol at Vince.

 

[BFIB]

Except he doesn't pin the opponent. He just lifts his opponents legs and does that awkward reverse roll back to his feet.

No, so for WWE in 2012 that DOES make sense

OUT OF NOWHERE

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

They're kinda doing it backwards starting out with Big Show bullying the heels.....and then being encouraged to continue.

It's clear that they actually have no idea what bullying means. I read something about Triple H having (making?) Khali sing "Happy Birthday" to Cena by himself in front of everyone two weeks or however long ago it was Cena's birthday.

 

[funkystudent]

So whats this about RAW possabliy getting a tape delay?


Really hope they dont edit it to shit like SD but they probably wont be able to resist themselves.

I bet it has more to do with them realizing that their crowds outside of a short list of places are just terrible. There's no reaction for anyone without extreme prodding (Punk at Laurinitis last night). Crowds just aren't responding.

If it's not NY, NJ, Boston, Philly, Chicago, or somewhere in Canada... ugh. Even that Miami crowd wasn't a Miami crowd, it was a Wrestlemania crowd. And these are the crowds that "revolt" against what the WWE wants, for the most part (turning Bryan into a star, "LETS GO ZIGGLER", shit on Sheamus, etc.). But at least there's liveliness.

Rumor has it that we might see a new debut tonight on Smackdown

Spoiler

Dean Ambrose has put a cryptic message on his Facebook saying 'tonight. Friday.

These signs have been recently posted at a Gold's Gym in Phoenix where I work. I had to do a double take because I didn't recognize Kurt Angle. Not sure if this is news worthy or even known in the wrestling community that Angle is in the microwaveable food business.

 

[maxxpower]

How I feel about WWE right now:

He looked genuinely disappointed/pissed off/disgusted after the fans started cheering when he said that Brock Lesnar was quitting.

Angle's been in the food thing for a while. Hell, his Twitter name is @ANGLEFOODS1.

What's newsworthy is that I don't think Kurt Angle has ever looked like that.

Saji or whoever it was should be pleased. Too bad it means apologising to somebody who doesn't deserve an apology.

Way to go.

As he should - it's not such a big deal coming from him when he was a midcarder, but now, well, to use the lame-ass adage, with great power comes great responsibility.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Tape delay to pipe in crowd reactions they want.

On the plus, we'll have spoilers for the first half of Raw from some enterprising young fan so we can know not to watch it.

Who's body did they photoshop Angle's head on?

 

[Kaladin]

Kurt Angle didn't even look like that when he was in WWE.

 

[Nocturnowl]

I'm sure Angle would tell you the pic was real, it's damn real

That's what I was wondering. The actual body looks vaguely familiar...

Hey now ..

I'm not pleased at the fact he said it and the expected outcome. It's all too common and I hate Twitter. I want Punk to wrestle and pipe bomb in the ring, not Twitter. Don't get involved in political/social issues over Twitter if you want your face on a 7-11 Slurpee.

"Broski's"

WWE employs a writer who makes this mistake? Are you serious bro?

 

[BoboBrazil]

"WWE Raw on Monday, May 7 scored a 3.03 rating, down three-tenths of a rating (9.1 percent) from last week's 3.33 rating for the Extreme Rules PPV fall-out. It was the lowest rating in nearly three months dating back to the February 13 episode.

Raw averaged 4.31 million viewers, a 12 percent decline from last week's average of 4.88 million viewers for the Extreme Rules fall-out. It was the fewest viewers in a month going back to the April 9 episode.

As expected with no substantial hook for the second hour, Raw declined as the show progressed. Raw opened with an average of 4.43 million first hour viewers, then declined steeply to 4.19 million second hour viewers. It was the second-fewest second hour viewers of the year, only trailing the January 9 episode against the BCS National Title game."

"You don't say .." at the Raw ratings. For the love of the Wrasslin gods, please stop this short term booking nonsense. The weak intro lead to a week ending. Where is my savior Dean Ambrose?
