WWF/WWE/ECW/WCW

I liked the Genius and Stunt Double Sandow but I hated when he impersonated other wrestlers and they even teamed him up with Axl "Hogan" to recreate the Mega Powers.

Poor guy got saddled with so many stupid gimmicks.  It's like WWE Creative was trying to coerce him into quitting.

That's how it seemed to me too and he was so over with the fans and yet we get Roman Reigns shoved down our throats like castor oil.

I blame Creative for the Roman Reigns debacle too.

If they'd have just let him find a path "organically" we all wouldn't hate his character as much as we do.  But they tried to make him the second coming of John Cena (who we're all already sick of) and that was just the kiss of death.

Oh, and the "Superman Punch"; the dumbest finishing move since the People's Elbow or maybe even the Hogan Legdrop.

The guy isn't really that terrible in the ring or on the mic but he's in no way ready to be carrying the title and shoved down the throats of WWE fans like he is.

Yeah, the "Superman Punch" pisses me off, even the name of it but as much as I can't stand Reigns I hate the Usos and Zayn that much more.

I don't mind Zayn (though I think he's a tad overrated) but agree completely on the Usos. I haven't cared for them since they debuted.

I think the Usos would make a good heel team. The second coming of The Wild Samoans. They'd need a heel manager though.

There seems to be a lack in good heel tag teams/factions and not just in the number of them but creative (Vince) doesn't utilize them properly and that's been an ongoing problem since Nexus.

Watching RAW.

After a decent confrontation during Jericho's "Highlight Reel", they've set up a main event between Jericho and Big Cass.

Surely even WWE Creative can't screw this up can they?  Cass has to win.

Rumors of more roster cuts coming on Friday.raw is recording at the moment. Will catch up to it in an hour or two.

The Usos and Reigns vs the WWE version of Bullet Club.

Fans booing the "faces" like crazy.  What better time to turn Reigns?  So of course it won't happen.

Just started watching and I'm sure Cass will lose or win by count out.

Adam Rose arrested in Florida:

According to pwinsider.com, here are more details on the arrest of WWE performer Adam Rose (Raymond Leppan). The site reports that they have received the arrest report, and that Leppan and his wife were involved in an argument about the state of their marriage. Leppan reportedly grabbed her face with his hands and pulled her close to his face as he screamed at her. His wife then called 911, but Leppan took the phone from her in an attempt to stop her from reporting the incident. Leppan grabbing the phone from his wife resulted in the tampering with a witness charge, and is a felony charge in Florida. He also admitted he did so to the police. The domestic battery charge is a misdemeanor.

The WWE released STEVE LOMBARDI!!! I figured that dude would have a job for life. s'pose not.

I'm surprised at both Adam Rose and Steve Lombardi, dude deserved more after 30 years of service especially since he was a jobber and a behind the scenes man.

One of the comments in that article is how The Brawler is still more over than the current World Heavyweight Champion.

I'm watching Smackdown because my Cardinals are out on the West coast again and the damn game doesn't start until after I need to go to bed.

So right now it's The Usos vs Gallows and Anderson.  You know, if you take a step back and try to objectively look at The Usos, they're really not that bad in the ring; they can fly around, they know some martial arts stuff, etc.  I think everyone is just tired of their gimmick.  I bet they'd be huge if Creative turned them heel.

For me they're like Alberto Del Rio, great performers that for some reason don't click with me. I can appreciate their skills but that's about it.

That's a good point.

WWE has tried Del Rio as both heel and face and he's failed at both.  And I really don't know why.  He's not terrible on the mic and he's decent enough in the ring but he's just...blah.  Like Roman Reigns for that matter; same problem but it's worse with Reigns because he's the WWE champion.

And the Superman Punch is the dumbest finisher since The People's Elbow.

Nothing the Usos do will make me ever like them.

Wow. That skit with The New Day and their "time machine" was the lamest thing I've seen on WWE in years.

Apparently it's not looking good for CM Punk's UFC career:

Even though he's a complete asshat, I was hoping he'd do decently and shut up his blind haters but it may not happen.

Not surprised. Hopefully Punk joins Bryan Danielson in the indies once his WWE contract ends.

Ever notice how The Dudley Boys' theme song is the same as Metallica-Shoot Me Again?

Not quite. The segment was quite lame, but the debutt of the Shinning Stars (guess their Matador careers are over) was moreso IMO. At least I found some mild amusement from Big E (frustrated that they were going to continue with the lame segment-"No it's not. It's a cardboard box for a refridgerator...") and Kofi's acknowledgment of his fake Jamaican origin.

I turned it off before "The Shining Stars"; I couldn't take it anymore. Either that or that was in the first hour when I was watching Gotham.  EIther way, I'm glad I missed it.
