Sheamus b Daniel Bryan
The match was build on the Titantrom as a Wrestlemania 28 rematch. Just before the match started, they showed their Mania with AJ's kiss-of-death.
Sheamus won with the Cloverleaf. Ok match. Nothing wrong, nothing great.

Well second week of not watching RAW and I completely forgot it existed.
Just youtube'd the Bryan/Kane sketch and I'm following the really bad news about Lawler.

Looking at the SD! spoilers, I'm happy that I haven't seen one since wrestlemania.

The point was to provide a thorough, insightful, and truthful review, which I believe he succeeded at using an innovative new "not watching" technique. Brilliant.

It seems we're at an impasse. I suggest you back down and move on. You don't want this.

It was great just to see Kane being so dominant and whooping Taker at every turn. It was like catharsis for a Kane fan after so many years of the opposite.

Blinded by mystical urn light, burial assistance from my number 2 guy Wade Barrett which led to absolutely nothing because THE GAME-UH had to hog the spotlight.

The hair on Kane's mask looks so fake. Like, bad fake. Not quite Fake Kane's wig bad, but at least as bad as the wig Kane had on when he unmasked the first time. Maybe worse. At least that wig matched his actual hair color and was curly. It looks hilarious. I think he and Taker went to the same wig place. But Taker's wig was straight up luxurious.

Also, Kane should have a mountain man beard. He's a monster, god damn it. He shouldn't waste time shaving.

in 1998 Kane would sometimes get these wigs with really fuzzy curls on them that fluffed out during the matches, it was quite the sight.

Anyone else find this guy really annoying at times?

Just honestly speaking.
Click to expand...

I think his weekly thing is fine, but I rarely read them due to watching my RAWs a week late after they air. However, I will agree that he does have a bit of a priggish manner about himself. In fact, I was surprised to find out that this annoying guy I sat nearby at an ACW event was actually Brandon himself.

A combination of that and watching him give a wrestling history lesson on Twitter about who originally came up with the poison-mist was nauseating enough to just ignore his stuff from that point on.

Bret did what has been called one of the greatest carry jobs in the history of wrestling when he put over Magee on a house show and that match convinced Vince that Magee was the next big thing.

There is footage of the match but WWE won't release it. I remember hearing Colt Cabana saying that while you are with WWE you can put in requests and they will send pretty much any match you want on a DVD. He said the Hart/Magee match was the only one they wouldn't let him see.

That's interesting/cool. I guess it's so you can review other matches and have a lightbulb moment and maybe do a spot in one of the other matches.

I had a random thought, Kane and Bryan need a double team striking move with alternating Kane uppercuts and Bryan Kicks, Kane says yes with each uppercut causing Bryan to yell no with each kick as he often does but with more rage, in turn this enrages each other escalating the volume of yes/no and the impact of each strike that finally knocks the opponent down with a whopping YES uppercut leaving Bryan shaking his head at Kane muttering no and then they have a forced hug afterwards for crowd pop.
I demand to see this exact event at NoC.

And Sunflower, Batista comic, never forget, but I don't actually hold you to that, you're a busy man.
Any more community plans up your sleeves?

Kane and Daniel Bryan pairing is just another step on Bryan's transformation to Chris Jericho btw. Big guy with wrestling darling team-up? Check.

That said, I love this team and Dr. Shelby should be at ringside for all their matches, smiling and shouting encouraging advise on friendship.

AHA. I will make it on post-its since I'm at work.

Re: community plans, there's some cookin' but it does take a lot of coordination and effort to get em happenin'.

G-Fex telling the Observer that he'll never be back is brutal - we'll have to see what direction he takes with it before I commit to too much too soon. Love him or hate him, his Fed is one of the best things going. Or went. Or gone. Whatever. I miss you Fex. It's pretty nuts how much he actually had been up to. I can't believe he managed to get video of Yaya Han changing clothes. That's huge, even though I think her boobs are all wrong.

Soul, there is no way that is mostly Kane's real hair. His hair couldn't have grown that fast, and his hair isn't that color and is much curlier. You should know this, as a Kanenite. That's the same hair he had when he came back with the mask. He might be growing his hair back out, but there is no way it is even close to that yet.

The last time I saw him without extensions, his hair seemed pretty long, and that was months ago. You may be right, though.

So not worth it
Great news, I'm so happy for the guy.

Still think this is a great opportunity for retirement from all the travel and go on a legends deal. I still suspect Jim Ross' absense from the announce desk is as much his choice as it was WWE's and it's time for Lawler to take a step back and go on a legends deal as well.

Anyways, blogpost by JR:
What an amazing and unreal 24 hours it has been with the major heart attack suffered by my long time partner and friend Jerry Lawler live during Monday Night Raw. It feels like a bad dream but unfortunately it isn't.

I was watching Monday Night Raw as usual when fans at the arena began Tweeting that something was wrong with the King at the announce table. The more that I read these shocking Tweets the more helpless that I felt because I wasn't there in Montreal to help my dear friend.

Michael Cole's updates had me trembling.

For Jerry Lawler to be sick is highly unusual. Being a 62 year old man, the King has been as fit as any one that I've known. He wrestles several times a month on the indy circuit and still plays in his Memphis softball league on Wednesday nights. Jerry is also 'young at heart' which isn't new news.

Plus, my long time partner and traveling companion has never smoked, drank alcohol or been a drug user. In a rough and tumble business, Jerry Lawler has essentially been an iron man since the 70's.

But even self acclaimed 'Iron Men' aren't bullet proof even though many of us think that we are.

Trust me, we aren't.

I'm not sure what caused Jerry's heart attack but it could have been genetic, Jerry's Dad died of a heart attack at a young age, or something that has been brewing for a good while. I don't know. In any event, suffering a massive heart attack is obviously life changing.

I know of what I speak on this matter as I lost both my parents at the age of 64 of heart attacks one year a part. Heart ailments are equal opportunity killers that care not who they attack.

Neither of my parents were in a position when their heart attacks occurred to get the immediate medical help that was available to Jerry in Montreal. My Mom died in mere minutes while we were in London for a PPV and my Dad held on for a few hours before he could fight no more. For the record, Dad passed on the night that LOD returned to Monday Night Raw. Funny how one remembers info like this.

Based on the information that I have, Jerry was extremely lucky to have been at a WWE event when his attack occurred. The immediate care that the trained professionals provided Jerry likely saved his life.

I shutter to think what the outcome would have been if Jerry had been wrestling on one of the indy shows that he was often booked. Heck, even driving to the arena or sitting in a restaurant might have proven fatal based on the hand that The King was dealt in Montreal Monday evening.

The last report that I received is that Jerry was in stable condition and getting excellent cardio care in a Montreal hospital. All of Jerry's vital signs are stable according to WWE.com. This is the information that we need to hear at this time and is positive. Tomorrow is another day and, God willing, will be an even better day for The King.

It might be a few days before all the needed medical information on Jerry's condition is processed but because he got immediate care from WWE doctors and EMTS, the King of Memphis chances of recovering seems good.

I tweeted today @JRsBBQ that I have spent many hours since Monday night not only awake but thinking of all the hours that Jerry and I have spent together since the early 90's, the miles that we have traveled together, and the great times that we've shared.

I came to the conclusion that those times aren't memories but merely a prelude to the future where more memories will be made.

Jerry is a strong willed man who is amazingly active and competitive. I truly feel that he will battle through this recent challenge and come out healthier and even happier on the other side of his convalescence.

I say with all sincerity that I feel that Jerry and I have not taken our last road trip nor have we commentated our last match together. There's a Cracker Barrel in our future and another karaoke concert in the rental car where King sings with a British accent to a Beatles tune not to mention him bemoaning his beloved Cleveland sports teams, the Indians and the Browns.

Jerry Lawler was my most favorite broadcast partner of all time and his talent made me better. Compared to him, I was "brown shoes at a formal wedding."

But even better than our professional relationship and success, The King and I are true friends in a challenging profession where those are hard to come by.

Also, I want to say to all the talents who performed during Monday's ordeal that I am very, very proud of your professionalism.

There aren't adequate words to express the stellar job that Michael Cole did sitting at the broadcast desk that can be, from my own experience, extremely challenging to navigate on live TV during catastrophic moments such as Monday night.

For men like Bret Hart, CM Punk and John Cena to deliver as they did in the final segment of Monday Night Raw was nothing short of extraordinary. I am proud of each man and the entire WWE team for responding in the face of immense adversity that faced them in Montreal.

Get well soon Jerry.

More hyped for this one then for SummerSlam actually. Some good matches on there. Looking forward to Kane and D-Bry winning the tag-titles and Punk vs Cena should be a great match (yes, great, there two matches last year were MotY contenders). Also very much looking forward to Ziggler cashing in (this better happen).

All in all it seems the b-show PPV's right after the big 4 are the ones to watch this year, so if you don't mind I'm already starting the hype for TLC 2012!

The problem I have with Punk-Cena matches are the finishes. These two have great chemistry together but because Cena has to be protected Punk can't get a clean win over him, which is a shame as it would be the cherry on that cake. So we end up with wacky finishes like random old people interfering. :s
