^ Time will tell, I guess.
I'm watching Smackdown for the first time in several weeks. I tend to stick to only Raw lately.
They've finally done it. They've decided to put Mysterio and Sin Cara together. I guess they could be an interesting tag team. They haven't had a tag team like them in any wrestling organization in a long time. You'd probably have to go to Mexico to see something like them.
I liked the Kaitlyn vs Natalya match. I mean, it wasn't one for the books, but it was good....for a Divas match. They were actually wrestling, with wrestling moves and holds, instead of slaps, fake choking and rolling around like drunk teens. I actually have some hope for the Divas championship match between Kaitlyn and Layla. Again, don't misunderstand, it's still a WWE Diva match and these two aren't the greatest wrestlers, but they seem like they actually want to do a match, not just be seen on tv.
I have to say, though, the best moment of these past couple of weeks was on this last Raw, when Kane was telling his life story at the encounter group. I loved it.
The cage match of Punk vs Lawler was interesting...and what wrestling ring doesn't happen to have a chain and a padlock underneath it?

I didn't see Smackdown but I saw the Layla vs. Natalya match on RAW. I was quite surprised by the length of the match and even though Vickie was out there, she didn't interrupt it and did her thing after the match was over. It wasn't like the greatest Divas match ever but it looked like a step in the right direction. I hope they continue doing matches like that.
i said that the other day! it was so funny
This just happened. Only in Chicago! OooohYeaaaaah!!!!
^That picture deserved its own post.
So, Paul Heyman has aligned with CM Punk. I should've seen it coming. Maybe Heyman is negotiating with other clients as well. Very interesting. I look forward to seeing where this is heading.
Hey, am i the only one who thinks the Miz is a better commentator than Lawler? He did a great job, in my opinion. Maybe not yet as good as Punk at the table, but he's still better than the rest.

who is that as MACHO MAN?
few thoughts about RAW:
#1- are they pulling the rug out on this AJ general manager job already? and if not.... one suggestion... have her stop skipping all the way down around the ring and back up the ramp,it looks foolish.
#2- WTF is the step thing that swagger does? after he does the push-ups he takes one step to the left then one straight ahead then does some kind of move where there should be a pyro explosion (but there isn't!). What is with that corny move?
#3- the Kane,Daniel Bryan anger management was some of the funniest stuff i have seen in a while.
#4- if AJ is going to be gone - PLEASE don't let it be Vickie taking her place (her character has become stale IMO)

The person dressed as Macho Man was a fan in the audience. I noticed him in the front of the crowd during the last match, on the side where the wrestlers usually face when they're posing in the ring. So he didn't have a lot of air time.
1. I must disagree. The skipping is part of her character. It's good not to have her change it and walk normally, or a McMahonesque powerwalk or Stephanie bitchwalk. I guess it's her "powerskip". They way I see it, to AJ, the GM job is like a playground to her. She's too twisted to see it as a serious job. I'm sure it won't last forever.
2. I have wondered the same thing. The first time I noticed it, I thought there was a mistake in the pyro department. It is awkward looking.
3. Totally agree. The Kane/Bryan angle is hilarious. I just wish the majority of the 'universe' didn't vote for them to hug. I wanted to see a tag match. I'll admit that it was still pretty funny to see them "hug it out", and then fight like a couple of disgruntled roommates. It's just too bad that the hug lasted longer than the Diva match.
4. I really hope it's not Vickie (or Eve), but I can't think of where else it could go. Maybe Paul Heyman?
Is it my imagination, or is Kaitlyn pretty much carrying the entire Divas division right now? I hope she wins the title, even though I have no big problem with Layla.
i was hoping for a tag match also- nothing better than the history of disgruntled single competitors made to tag up (and even win the tag titles!)
Austin & Michaels
Rock n Sock connection
i want to know what is the REAL truth to the vote ? did everyone really vote that? or is that just there during the show but the storyline is that they hug and even if the fans voted tag team.....was it going to "win" as HUG IT OUT anyway?
That's what I tend to think. Then, people say I'm a conspiracist.

1. I'm surprised that you would say that. I would've pegged you for a Jets fan, given that you list yourself from NJ.
2. The people at TMZ said he "shaved his head". He only cut it short. Also, I looked at the first page of comments on it, and I swear that either they've got trolls thumbing up and down the wrong things for fun or the site is visited by mostly morons who couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel (maybe a bit of both).
The WWE site says he "chopped off his signature mane". "Signature"? Really? It was his signature mane, huh? During the course of his career, I never heard anyone ever talk about his hair. Will he be hanging up his signature jock soon?
Must be a slow week in wrestling, outside of the Punk/Heyman angle, that is.
i am from nJ- but the first time (in 1984) when i seen walter payton run the ball i became hooked on him and the Bears.
im also a DIE-HARD njDevils fan but loved the whalers so much that i made that my name!??
i think the hair was a "signature" for TRIPS because if you noticed late attitude era when he migrated away from DX and became involved with the owners daughter, his "pull" made him start to have other wrestlers start to cut their long hair to NOT have those wrestlers (edge,jericho to name a few) confused with him. even though both edge and jericho wore pants in their ring attire unlike HHH who wore the speedo shorts.
I believe it. Too bad. Jericho deserves the long hair. I mean, he's definitely more metal than the rest of them.
I found this 'after Raw' clip from the other night.
Well, either way, this happened.
They called him Tommy Dreamer for a reason. Who wouldn't want to finger Francine?

Don't you love how WWE continues to recycle theme music?
