WWF/WWE/ECW/WCW

Yeah, the RAW 25 pretty much sucked. I think Charlotte is 5’ 10” but Alexa is already mine, mike, so them’s fightin’ words. Lol!

I hope Nigel is the new 205 Live GM.

That anniversary RAW was disappointing.  I'm not sure what I was expecting, maybe more interviews with some of the old timers or something but the whole thing just seemed "phoned in".  Except for the video montages; as usual those were great.  WWE has always been great with video packages.

It was pretty "meh" to be sure. The worst part was when they "Ascensioned" the Revival. They were one of the hottest teams in NXT and they lose to The Club in about five minutes. I guess that one guy's injury (can't remember which one was injured) soured creative on them.

Correction, they lost in two minutes. Even worse.

Not to mention the "illogic" of two guys entering the ring to face about 10 other guys, even if the 10 other guys are all in their 60s or so.

Apparently WWE feels that just being in the same ring with the legends, benefits up and commers (even if they get beat up). You know, typical WWE logic. At least that's what Simon Miller of What Culture thinks (either he's on to something or my theory of them souring on them is what's going on or perhaps somewhere in between):

Speaking of which, line of the week:

"My resume speaks for itself." -Baron Corbin

Yeah, it says, "I suck!"

Borin' Corbin lives up to his name more every time I see him.  The guy has absolutely zero charisma.  If WWE insists on pushing him they either need to put him under a mask or give him a manager or something

NXT never fails to deliver a great PPV.

So EC3 is with NXT now and they are letting him use that name? Interesting.

Yeah, they even got War Machine for the tag division and Ricochet. Gonna be awesome! NXT is the best brand WWE has had for the last few years. Sadly once they get called up to the main roster Vince destroys them.

When is the Rumble tonight? If it is, it shows how out of touch with WWE I have become over the past few months.

HAHAHA.  I was wondering the same thing.  WWE pimps upcoming events so much that other than Mania, they all blur together.  I think Rumble IS tonight but I'm not 100% sure.

Tonight.

AJ keeps his title in the opening match.

That was the opening match???

Yup. While the match after it would be a better pick for an open: Chad Gable vs. Useless which they won in two falls. Our only hope at this point is the Bludgeon Brothers ending their reign.

Already they're having the 30 man RR. I had a feeling they were going to make the women's the main event (you know, history and all) but hoped they weren't. I really have nothing invested in that one and don't really care for it as the main event.

Hurricane Shane Helms returns in the Rumble only to be eliminated by Cena in about a minute.

A true surprise entrant, Rey Mysterio! Dude has a lot more tattoos now. Covers his entire chest area.

Ziggles returns too at #30.

Down to Cena, Reigns, Nakamura, and Balor. Either someone new will win or another case of same ol' shit.

Reigns or Nakamura. I've got a bad feeling about this.

Relief, Reigns got eliminated.

Still pretty predictable though.

What does the WWE do these days that isn't?

Braun Lesnar and Kane are next. Wonder who will pin Kane?

Brock of course!

First surprise entrant, Lita!
