4/19 LIVE RAW Blog

OK, 100% live let's do this...

- Does it piss anyone else off that some of the clips in the opening are out of order? The Warrior one is off by like 10 years.

- The new Triple H hat is kind of badass.

- Do you think Vince fired the guy that told him about the volcano?

- Why wouldn't Gallows just unplug the clippers from outside the ring?

- Pretty cool they are so upfront with the fans I have to say. I think its funny during my last Smackdown post I mentioned what would happen if Smackdown and RAW just switched guys. Looks like we'll find out from the ratings this week.

- Randomly switched over to TNA and heard Jarrett yell out "shit."

- Two things strike me about the Kozlov/MacGreuber bit. One - there was a time when Kozlov was a legit contender to the title; what the hell happened? Two - that whole skit is almost unpar with the Robocop/Sting gimmick from the early 90's. Just awful, and a real reason we all still get made fun of as wrestling fans.

- Swagger and Taker was pretty good. There seems to be a weird trend where they give a young guy a world title and have him lose all the time. It doesn't make sense. Doesn't Swagger look weak going into the PPV losing to a guy that had nothing to do with the feud?

- OK, a few things on the MacGreuber/Kozlov/Khlai thing. One - If he was really the GM of RAW, couldn't he just change the match to not include him anyway? Two - I suppose Santino is in Europe and they were just going to do the same thing with him. Three -If it is a handicap match, how could MacGreuber's team win if Khali was the legal man and he got counted out? The whole thing was just too long and terrible.

- Pretty standard main event. Obviously the whole volcano thing ruined the show. I'm sure they will do their best to make it up with tons of promos on all of the shows that are left before the PPV.

4/9 Smackdown! Blog - Live

Just to prove I am not half-assing this blog, here is a live Smackdown! report for the last 3/4 as I missed the first quarter :(

- Personally, I think Drew McIntrye has "IT." He reminds me a ton of 1997 Triple H and I dig the non-promo saying the people aren't worth his time.

- Has anyone suffered more from Marty Jannetyism than Matt Hardy. There is no way he EVER gets over like his brother, right?

- That Edge Slim Jim commercial sucks balls. There has never been a good WWE/wrestling commericial, and I am including the new Hogan/Troy Aikman spot in that too.

- Sorry Rey, but you are really one move away from any move.

- That Hart DVD does look badass. I think I might buy it this weekend.

- Regarding those Hart Foundation clips and an earlier post; how can WWE ignore the tag teams so much? Even the talentless New Age Outlaws were making a rack of money 12 years ago. Take a break from the Diva Dress to Impress "match" and write some decent tag team stuff.

- Gotta stop making fun of Swagger's lisp. Did they make fun of how bald Hogan was? Well, not till way later.

- Honest question, if they swapped RAW and Smackdown's timeslots, do you think the ratings would change that much? I am wondering if you put everyone from Smackdown on during the traditional wrestling night of Monday if it wouldn't do just as well.

- When will they shake the Money in the Bank winner taking the cheap way to the championship? It only lasted for like 2 weeks, but I loved when Kennedy won and he said he would cash it in the following Wrestlemania.

- Over/under Edge remaining a face: 3 months. I'll take the under.

- The Jericho/Edge feud should be doing more for me. Take a look at the front row after the spear: nothing. It's a classic kind of feel, just not sure what it is missing. And no, it isn't missing the mention of the word spear.

- OK, triple threat at the PPV? Should be decent way to get Swagger over.

That's all for now. Decent episode but lacked something. Until next time...
