  1. Dave and Bryan did another interview with Bruno. Good stuff, but it cracks me up that he still seems to think drug use didn't exist until 1984. Always struck me odd considering he worked with Superstar Graham. He at least seems to be a little more honest about his fallout with Vince, mentioning he originally came out of retirement to help out but soon realized Vince was just using him to pop houses and was just keeping David around to throw him a bone. Ironically between the Wellness Policy and the PG Era, both of Bruno's biggest issues with current WWE seem to be no longer a stumbling block, but that didn't seem to get brought up at all.
  2. I was thinking about this the other day, and I remembered when Konnan was on with Dave and Bryan before TripleMania he mentioned AAA planning to tour in the US. When Dave brought up that AAA says they're going to do that all the time and never do, Konnan mentioned there was some kind of deal in place that was about to expire regarding the US rights for AAA. I wonder if that had anything to do with them losing their TV time here as it appears they are still on the air in Mexico.
  3. Ever since guys like Brock and Lashley left, the feeling is they have to depush guys they have plans for to see if they can handle it, so they don't spend all the time/money/effort for nothing. They're so hellbent on proving WWE is bigger than any single person that they seem to actively damage people on purpose to prove their point. Of course it ignores pretty much all of their history when there has always been at least one if not several guys bigger than the company.
  4. Is Corporate Hunter coming out to his wrestling theme them any more/less ridiculous than nearly 66 year old Vince still coming out to his Corporation music from 1998 or so? Especially considering Vince has aged considerably ever since the hair vs hair match at WM? Who knew the famous Vince hair helmet was his fountain of youth.
  5. This is what I was afraid of when watching Raw, H coming back in any form or fashion will just get the audience they are aiming for with this "real" stuff instead turn to discussing how Hunter is going to ruin the angle for his own nefarious purposes. Never mind that since his rise to his current level of power, his only real TV time has been the feud with Undertaker which he put over as just barely surviving before disappearing again. I would also dispute the idea that he's not as over as the company/family wants us to believe he is. Yes it did take a long time for him to finally get over as a top guy in the eyes of the fans (which I would say was more a result of all the time he spent as the second banana in DX than anything else), but once he got there he was most certainly seen as one of the top guys in the company. His return from the quad tear was huge, the DX Revival was big (despite being booked amazingly one sided at times), there really hasn't been any point in the last 5-6 years at least where you could say he isn't looked at by the fans at the level the company sees him at. It seems like the hardcores are still salty over the methods he used to get to the top and the people he threw under the bus. Once he takes over for good, he could go on a booking run better than anyone's ever seen and return things to the old school rasslin' everyone loves and people would still complain he's the guy who buried Booker T.
  6. Minor league announcer gets tired of not getting paid by poorly run team and quits by giving a speech inspired by CM Punk: http://deadspin.com/5822402/goodnight-and-...er-quits-on-air (he even mentions he's going to watch Money in the Bank with his friends on Sunday)
  7. I kind of saw it as HHH taking over the on screen authority figure "chairman" role to match his growing backstage power. I'm sure Vince will always be around as a figurehead King of WWE role until the day he dies anyway. Also how funny is it to see financial types acting like WWE storylines are real, I thought it was only us dumb, poor rasslin' fans who thought that way. Also also, has there been a rash of things Dave has been wrong about that would make this story his Waterloo?
  8. Why do jdw's posts read like he thinks everyone believes the Punk angle is a shoot, because I know he knows that's not the case. Of course we know WWE is not really going to let someone hold a belt with an expiring contract (except Jeff Jarrett, I guess), the whole point is WWE is doing something completely opposite of how we as fans have all been trained to expect things to go, and everyone's shocked in a good way about it.
  9. Right now Averno is thinking "son of a BITCH"....
  10. That Christian/Orton finish was quite a sight. I don't think I've ever seen a crowd pop so loud for someone getting kicked in the balls before.
  11. Punk already more or less buried the Cena is fired stipulation in the RAW promo last week. Not to mention that Cena has been all but established as the third wheel in this angle anyway. Also, my buddy texted me (I work Sundays so I didn't get to watch) that Sin Cara looked to have gotten hurt. Sheamus powerbombed him on a ladder to take him out of the MITB match and Sin Cara did the full out Terry Funk seizure sell job.
  12. Also I think the line where Punk snapped at Vince that he doesn't know how to make stars in 2011 was designed to make anyone who ever was on Dave Lagana's podcast jizz in their pants.
  13. Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that. If I didn't know better I'd think WWE was trying to imply Punk was getting to Cena and in the process made Cena "break character" if you will and let his accent slip back in (since they made a big deal of mentioning Cena was from Boston and in WWE Land everyone speaks in the broad brush accent of their hometown). Instead it came across as Andy Samberg's Wahlberg impression. I was waiting for Cena to tell Punk to say hi to his mother for him.
  14. No, I think they thought the guys they already had on the roster would be able to fill the role. After the disaster with Chavo, they just asked him who they should bring in.
  15. Saw this listed on cubsfan's site as part of the results from the latest AAA TV taping: That amused me, considering all the hand-wringing over "LayCool calls Mickie fat" from a while back.
  16. To WWE's credit, they seemed to realize that as well, hence Averno coming in shortly.
  17. You want to talk about announcers burying guys, Piper's your guy. There's the famous Saba Simba moment (sure it was Wrestlecrap, but still...) and it still bothers me to watch Undertaker debut at Survivor Series and listen to Piper nearly derail the whole gimmick trying to get his comedy in.
  18. Also a point to defend Gorilla (or any 80s WWF commentator really), you have to remember they were stuck calling TONS of shitty jobber vs jobber type matches where it would be extremely difficult not to bury the whole thing after the second or third 5 minute chinlock/headlock spot.
  19. Personally, I thought having the angle turn towards wanting to believe he was suddenly close personal friends with Saddam made it veer into bullshit land for me. Not because it was "too real", quite the opposite, it was too fake to believe. Especially since they made no attempt to hide that his other new ally was the Iron Shiek (I guess you really can't repackage him, but still...) who was so identified with Iran and everyone knew Iraq and Iran were enemies. That struck me as even more bullshit than Sarge becoming an Iraqi sympathizer. I guess they were just banking on most wrestling fans believing all Middle Easterners are the same.
  20. Today's dose of irony: Punk getting heat for getting into a verbal fight with a ringside fan in Australia and calling him a homo. Meanwhile he shaved his beard and kept the mustache that along with his current hairstyle makes him look a lot like Freddie Mercury circa 1984.
  21. It's a shame, I was really getting into AAA. It's like 90s ECW and the midcard of Nitro had a weird mutant baby.
  22. I just find it odd that a lot of people hate Gorilla for putting himself over or shitting on matches, but Jesse did it a lot to the faces in matches he called. There would be times where he would go on a rant that would bring the commentary to a halt complaining about something a face did, or bitching at the face announcer for not getting upset when a face cheated like they do when a heel does. The fact that he was right almost all the time not only made the announcer he was calling out look like a bitch, it made the face look like an asshole for cheating and getting away with it (and to a lesser degree the ref too, I suppose). Don't get me wrong, Jesse is my favorite WWF announcer ever (I marked out when he and Vince called a match on Raw a couple years ago) but he seems to do the same stuff everyone hates Gorilla for doing.
  23. Actually cubsfan may have just posted the answer on his blog. Apparently Galavision wants all HD programming which CMLL offers and AAA does not.
  24. I guess this is a question for KrisZ, but did AAA lose their TV deal? I figured they were being pre-empted for the Gold Cup soccer tournament, but that ended and the show never came back on.
  25. Harley looked way more aged at 40 than any of those other guys. He made an appearance on Saturday Night right before showing up in the WWF when he would have been around 43, and he looked at least 10-15 years older than he was. Not sure if it was from his ring style, or living hard out of the ring (or a combination of both).
