Raw started off with Punk in the ring. No shock there. He cut on the bosses, and his antics in the past few weeks. Said he was the spark of change. He got VKM kicked out of the coup, and HHH replaced him. Punk said he couldn’t change the industry sitting on his couch. He said the fans had a hand in all of this as well. Punk cut on Cena saying that Punk has the title and Cena basically has a replica like one of the fans.

Then HHH came out to cut him off. HHH told Punk that he re-signed him because it was good business, then the two began to cut on one another. HHH told Punk that he was smug, etc. Punk fired right back at him.

“Vince let guys go…guys like Batista, guys like Mick Foley, guys like Chris Jericho, guys like Brock Lesnar.” – CM PUNK, proof he’s the best in the world. Punk says that Trips couldn’t afford to see him signing anywhere else. HHH says Punk should tell the truth about why Punk really resigned. HHH says that without the WWE Punk is nothing.

HHH says that Punk is champion and John Cena is ALSO the WWE champion and that Trips will fix that later tonight. HHH goes to leave the ring, Punk stops the music (“I do love Motorhead.”) and continues to shoot on the WWE/HHH. Punk said he wasn’t going to adhere to the PG rating.

“How many times did you say, ‘I don’t know if he has what it takes’ while your lying in bed with your wife,” another great CM Punk quote. HHH and Punk are certainly going to have a match at some point and it’s certainly going to be MUST SEE. The two of them get up in each other’s faces, HHH says this is bigger than the egos and all that. HHH says he took the job of COO for “them” meaning the fans. They are really pushing this. HHH says basically don’t break the rules, Punk says “or what” and starts playing with H’s tie. Lots of Steph jokes creeping in. I miss this.

Rey Mysterio and John Morrison vs. Miz and R-Truth could be decent, but I have a feeling it’s going to be a spot fest and not in a good way. Diva match tonight? Thank God for this DVR.

Kelly Kelly is ringside, and I would easily eat her butt. Peanut Butter and Chocolate Ice Cream out of it with a straw. No problem doing it. The Bella Twins too. So fucking hot. OH THERE’S A COMMERCIAL BREAK. MATT SCHORR’S FAVORITE.

Back from the break and I still don’t care about this match. Beth Phoenix, Bella Twins, Looks like Eve and Alicia Fox. Alicia Fox is eliminated by herself. Cole is going on about having a twin. I could care less. Blah, blah, blah. Eve gets eliminated. Kelly Kelly pees in sinks. Beth eliminates both Bellas. Yay match over! Beth and Kelly hug and then Beth tosses Kelly out of the ring. Is this supposed to make us care? Unless a Kelly Kelly boob comes lose I don’t. OH GOD, Beth has a mic. WHY WON’T THIS END. WHY! “That was so mean Beth!” – random fan. Love that line.

Miz and R-Truth segment backstage. Truth says him and the Miz are the same. That’s pretty funny. Ebony and Ivory Tag Team coming up? This is actually pretty entertaining. Wow they have totally broken kayfabe. “If they knew they were bringing back CM Punk with the World Title, why were we competing in a World Title Tournament?” – R-Truth. He ended the segment with “you gonna get, got”.

Josh is with John Cena and I want to kill Cena. Fruit Punch colors t-shirt on. Fake World Title. Cena says he’ll be in the ring to see HHH’s decision regarding the World Title. DON’T. FUCKING. CARE. Cena sucks.

I love how Cole is still all about Miz. Truth came out first, and Miz second. Their tag team match is up now. OMG IT’S REY, REY, HE’S SO TALENTED. CAN TOTALLY BE A MAIN EVENTER. Can we end this charade now? Where he can hang with people WAY taller than him? I like him as a guy, but not as a wrestler. John Morrison, one of my favorite superstars. Just read today on CHEAP-HEAT.COM (your only place for heart hitting news) that Morrison isn’t 100%, but let’s see what he has. Yeah I’m not providing a lot of hard hitting commentary here, but we’ve got some good spots, leaping off the top rope and spilling the match outside of the ring. AND ANOTHER BREAK.

Back from break and Mysterio is in trouble, according to JR. I like having JR back, voice of my childhood. Miz is holding a tag rope, what is the world coming to. This match is coming together actually. Digging parts of it. Miz saved Truth from the 619, VETERAN MIZ. Miz chucked Mysterio out of the ring, over the security wall. And R-Truth and Miz took it Morrison briefly, and won.

Triple H promo. Tells Punk the wife jokes don’t bother him. It’s been going on for ten years. And he says Cena should keep it business tonight.

Honky Tonk Man tribute. Love it. HTM vs. Ultimate Warrior, unannounced match. Love it. REGIS ring side!

Dolph and Vikki, kind of a yawn, kind of exciting. Not sure where to sit. I like Dolph but not Vikki. Everyone around CH knows that I think Eddie was great and I don’t like seeing his wife on TV. Dolph says no one can compete to him and out comes Alex Riley. “If you’re such a man, why do you hide behind a woman…or in your case Vikki.” Love it A-Bomb. BTW – are we back to wearing a suit makes you an awesome wrestler? Too many people wearing suits right now, Dolph and A-Riley.

Dolph played like he was getting ready to mix it up with Riley and then slide out of the ring. Great heel move. I love it!

McGillicutty and Otunga are out they are going to face Ryder and Santino. Ryder is wearing a Broksi shirt. Matt Schorr will get the joke.В Quick match as the champs won. Cole shat on Ryder the entire match, typical.

Punk segment and he says he’s waiting around like everyone else. Punk says he was testing Hunter and Hunter passed with flying colors. I bet you anything that we’re getting a Summerslam match for the title, predictable.

ALBBBBBBBERRTTTTTTTTOOOOOO DEL RIOOOOOOOOO, a Cassidy Haynes favorite. Dinero in the Bank winner! 1953 Rolls Royce, pretty nice ride. Del Rio vs. Evan Bourne. Del Rio is taking it to him, obviously. The announcers doing a good job interacting with each other. Arm Bar from Del Rio on Bourne and he taps out, surprise, surprise. Remember when they built Del Rio up SOOO fast and then squandered him? I do. Del Rio puts Bourne back in the Arm Bar…BOOOOOORING. But here comes Kofi Kingston to make the save.

Trips is out to tell us what’s going on with the title. He gets interrupted. Johnny Ace is in the ring, I don’t know why. I thought they would fire this asshole. It’s his job to sign talent and take care of contracts…really, then why did he let Punk walk. What a fuck tard. John wants the title stripped from Cena, I like him!

OH NO! HERE’S CENA. ALL THE YOUNG GIRLS IN THE PLACE GET UP. FRUIT PUNCH! KOOL AID MAN! THE FAKE CHAMP IS HERE. A lot of boos for Cena. LOVE IT. Cena is ranting that Ace is a yes man, and has not thought about anything but guess what, didn’t he think to put the title on Cena. Thanks Ace for reminding everyone that Cena got beat. Cena isn’t even getting pops anymore, he’s coming off like a big bully.

Trips isn’t stripping Cena. Saw that one coming. Punk comes to the ring to debate his case and he has the crowd in his hand. This is the part where Trips says no I’m not stripping you either. Champion vs. Champion? WOW! I’M SO SHOCKED. AND I COULD CARE LESS. If Cena wins, I will never blog about wrestling again. EVER. Said.

Last stop on the Road to Wrestlemania.

CM Punk is sitting in the middle of the ring to start off the Raw before Wrestlemania. Only J, going at it tonight, no Matt. Welcome everyone. Hometown kid starting it off, gotta like that. Chicago is popping for him, which is weird because he’s supposed to be a dynamite heel. Punk doesn’t care what happens to anyone, whether you’re a member of Nexus, or just live in Chicago. It’s not his problem he says, Randy is the problem.

I’ve been saying the Raven thing for a while, but the fact that he’s telling Nexus they are mindless, little errand boys. Punk says that he had Randy get rid of them all just so Randy can have a false sense of security. I really like Punk taking things really personal last week.

Naturally Randy is out after Punk is done his promo and the wounded Orton and Punk are brawling. Should be a good ‘Mania match. Punk got laid out and Orton stands over him, looking for the Punt. Orton ran for the Punt but the injury to his leg cost him the move.

Punk is toying with Orton in the ring, then goes right at the bad knee. They are billing Punk as a master ofВ psychologyВ now, which I really, really like. В Good things can be done with that. Punk hits a GTS, a move that Orton can’t sell. Segment over.

We got Rock, Cena and Miz all the in the same ring tonight. Triple H/Taker stare down too.

Edge and Christian segment in the back. Amazing chemistry with the two of them, for the first time in six years E & C are tagging tonight! I’m pretty excited for that.

Match One WWE Monday Night Raw: Edge (WorldВ HeavyweightВ Champion) & Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio (#1 Contender) & Big Brodous Clay

Edge can’t touch Del Rio on Smackdown so we get this much. Like that Edge and Christian are back together, even if they aren’t an official team. Brodous apparently can move, so maybe he’ll make something of himself. Del Rio is a good talent, wouldn’t mind seeing the title on him.

Edge and Brodous come off hot tags and go at it. Edge gets the upper hand with some moves on Brodous, and he’s looking Spear. Del Rio tripped him up, and Christian took revenge on the outside. Del Rio then rams Christian into the barrier. The end of this match was quick as Edge hit a Spear, but we got shit on the outside.

The Cross Arm Breaker on Edge. Del Rio taking out Christian. It’s a messy feud. Del Rio I think will win this one at ‘Mania.

We’ve got a message from the RAW GM. I wonder when that’s going to be revealed. Michael Cole is plugging the I-Pad now, sweet. The GM wants to know if King is ready for ‘Mania, so he’s fighting Swagger tonight. Makes no sense, but okay, whatever. Anyone know if these are FSW guys acting as security for Cole?

Elongated HHH/Taker promo, yawn. I’m tired of this feud, instead of looking forward to it. They killed any hype towards it, any hype at all.

Match Two WWE Monday Night Raw : Santino vs. Justin Gabriel

Kane, Big Show, the Corre, and everyone and their mother is at ringside. Corre doesn’t have a leader my ass, Wade Barett is the leader. Kane just laid someone out. Koslaov as well. Corre has an eight man tag match at ‘Mania, we call that a time waster. Santino wins with the Cobra…thanks for wasting my time.

Taker/Triple H ShowdownВ WWE Monday Night Raw

Taker’s entrance is still epic after all these years. Triple H cut off Taker’s entrance with his own, then after Triple H’s entrance, the bell tolled to finish Taker’s. Lights go off and the bell tolls another time, before bringing the lights back up. Awesome tease for this match, but I could care less. Especially if this isn’t Triple H’s last stand.

HBK is out. I’m kinda shocked. I had heard this was dead and he wasn’t going to ref…why else would he be out here? Raw has wasted a lot of time tonight, these long entrances were further waste.

Shawn sounds like he’s been smokingВ cigarettes unfiltered in his off time. WAIT WHAT!? Kind of a pot shot at HHH. HBK says, “what makes you think you could do what I couldn’t?” HHH comes right back at him saying HBK got “soft” and decided that it was more about showmanship and not about winning. HHH says “I’m not Shawn Michaels, not even close”. He then goes on about the respect he has for Taker, and that because he respects him he’s telling Taker that it’s time to hang it up.

Taker has the mic now. Taker talks about having respect for HHH and says when the time comes to put him down it should be Trips, but now isn’t the time. “In the end the streak will still be alive and so will I.” That’s all that’s needed. Taker also says if Trips doesn’t wanna take his word he should ask Shawn. Taker said he humbled HBK and he ended his career. Then threw the microphone at Michaels. HBK tried for a Superkick, Taker caught it and HHH broke it up. Stare down between Taker and Trips.

Now in typical Triple H fashion he’s got something up his sleeve. Or at least he thought he did, but then Shawn bailed on him. Interesting indeed. Looks like the streak will still be alive after ‘Mania.

Match Three WWE Monday Night Raw : King Lawler vs. Jack Swagger

Snore, snore, snore. King, still…really? Cole repeating “It’s all about Sunday”, “How does it feel Jerry?” Cole is such a weasel. Yes, I like it, no, it’s not entertaining. King got DQ’ed, tried to go after Cole. Cole yelled at Jerry from his cubical. I feel like we’ve seen this every week since the Rumble.

Vicki Gurrero is out to the ring, she puts Sunglasses on and has John Morrison’s theme play.

Match Four WWE Monday Night Raw : Dolph Ziggler/Sheamus vs. John Morrison/Daniel Bryan

Dolph and Morrison got a feud going, Sheamus and Bryan as well. Here we go. Morrison vs. Sheamus to start. And nothing here has been exciting. Bryan had the LaBell Lock in but Sheamus broke it up. It’s a flash tag match, a bit hard to keep up with. Sheamus hit the finisher and pinned Bryan, that means he loses at ‘Mania, right?

Orton backstage getting interviewed about whether or not he can make it to ‘Mania. Randy talks and I don’t care. He’s got anger problems, yeah we all do pal. Shut it. He’s never despised someone more then Punk, which I call bullshit on. Didn’t he throw Mick Foley down some stairs?

Trish/Snookie/Le Cool at the Shore. Trish and Michelle, hot and hotter. We’ve got some Snookie panties showing there. Jesus Christ.

John Cena/The Miz/The Rock ShowdownВ WWE Monday Night Raw

Rock is out first, place goes nuts. Typical. Say what you want still heads and tails better then anyone right now. Rock’s first ‘Mania was in Chicago. He gets the crowd to chant “Cena Sucks”, calls him a “homeless Power Ranger”. В He calls out Cena. “The People’s Champ is here”.

On cue, here’s Cena. The Rock really added to this ‘Mania match. Would be interesting if Miz and Cena teamed up to beat Rocky up. They showed some dude flipping the bird in the crowd at Raw. Cena once again comes up semi boring. These promos are long winded tonight. The boo birds get on Cena baaaaaad. Cena starts talking about what the Rock had a problem with, and it’s lame. Cena says he’s proud of who he is, and what he’s become. It’s a little over the top for me. This sounds like a PSA on bullying. Cena’s new theme should be Lady Gaga “Born This Way”. Also Cena starts sounding like a preacher…wow this is…just wow.

The Rock tries to save Cena here, and it’s not really helping. The two square off. And on cue…the Miz comes out.

Someone handed the Rock a water bottle from the side of the ring. What the hell!?

Miz is eh on the mic. Better then Cena though. Miz says Rock won’t do anything. I agree with him. Why not hit a Rock Bottom on him? Why not? Gonna make us watch ‘Mania to get it?

Riley and Miz double team Rock. The Rock clears the ring. Positions Miz and hits the People’s Elbow. Then tosses Miz out of the ring and Cena hits the Attitude Adjustment onto Rocky and walks out of the ring. Wow, did Cena just turn heel? Wow, see you all at Mania.

I have no idea where Matthew is. Chances are he'll show up in the middle of me writing this raw blog and I'll have to go change the beginning but whatever. So we weren't around last week, whatever. TNA had a shitty PPV last night. And by shitty I mean their Main Event was blink and you miss it long. Sting is champ, Hardy is a druggie. ANNNNND SNOOKI IS HOSTING RAW TONIGHT!

Personally, I love me some Snooki and some Jersey Shore. Save the hate, I've heard it all before. It's entertaining, it's funny, it's a trainwreck.

The Rock is on the phone talking about a Cena promo. I take it I missed this last week. Cena interrupted Rocky. Camera pans over and it's a little Justin Bieber wanna be dressed as Cena. This is starting to get old. Unless The Rock is at LIVE! events, guess what I don't want it. Sorry if that's too honest, but I don't like these filmed on location bits AND why is The Rock wearing camo pants?

I love The Rock talking about how Cena owns the younger demographic. The young Cena actor says "I'm not that talented" and The Rock agrees. I don't know if I like The Rock talking to this kid as a kindergarten teacher, as I type that he switches right back to "It doesn't matter" Rock. Funny that The Rock mentions awful movies tonight. I'm sure people we're knocking down the door for The Tooth Fairy Rocky. Fruity Pebbles jokes continue to amuse me.

Rock looks right into the camera and cuts a promo on the Miz. He's still got it, anyone who says he doesn't is a liar, or a hater. MIZ HIT THE PEOPLE'S ELBOW?? LOVE IT!! What's up with the movie like building music during this promo? I don't really like it, I think it's crappy/cheesy. So I guess Rocky will be on RAW the week of �Mania?

WOW, Michael Cole has built a "broadcast palace" or "the Cole Mine". I freaking love it. It's a glass block, it's AWESOME!

Miz is out. Doing this alone is lonely, but awfully fun. I think moving Miz away from Riley was a good move. They've been building Miz up the past few weeks and I'd like to think it's working. Nice looking girl in the crowd, me likey. Miz's promo was largely blah, but it is what it is.

Fuck this Jerry Lawler shit. I hate cursing on this thing but honestly, making him look like he's a superstar is over rated at this point. I respect him but I really don't like him, AT ALL. GM announcement that we get "First Time Ever Matches". Cena vs. Del Rio. And Miz gets the Great Khali. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME.

Great Khali vs. The Miz
I could care less about this match. The Great Khali is just sloppy. He's big sure but he's very sloppy. Alex Riley is out to save Miz. And Miz with the chair, kinda looking scary. I like it. Still a waste of time, IMO.

Michael Cole is bringing out a super secret guest to talk about Lawler's past. Should be okay.

Also Mason Ryan against Orton tonight. If Ryan loses he cant be ringside for Orton/Punk at Mania.

Morrison with Snooki, this is great. AND HERE COMES VICKI! SNOOKI SLAPS VICKI! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! Neither one of these bitches can act, but that was funny.

Who would get Shrimp Tacos at Taco Bell? That's asking for food poisoning. Kaley Cucco and James Marsden must need work. Who let Randy Orton near a child? These ads are terrible!

Sheamus and Daniel Bryan I thought were heading towards a Mania match, hopefully we still get that. If Sheamus doesn't win tonight he'll quit the WWE. I hope Bryan wins even MORE now. Daniel Bryan got compared to James Franco AND Pee Wee Herman during this match. Mid-match commercial, the Matt Schorr special. Sheamus had control when we came back from commercial break, and how Bryan tosses Sheamus out of the ring. LABELL LOCK BY BRYAN! And Sheamus gets to the ropes, thought it was over there. Bryan showing the "grade A" feet. A knock out kick to the face, and only a two count as Sheamus powers out. Bicycle Kick out of nowhere, and Sheamus becomes US Champ.

Michael Cole with a great regicide joke. Not often do you get to type that. Commercial break before the big reveal of the guest.

JBL sold the shit out of that Stunner. I love SCSA. He was drinking Keystone Light though not Miller Lite.

So here's Michael Cole's big reveal. Grand Master Sexa. TOO COOL! This is painful to watch. Why isn't Matt here for this? King is basically disowning his son. His son is still on coke. Michael Cole gets heel points. What is the point!? What is the point!? THERE IS NONE. "I was one of the biggest superstars in WWE at one time", did Grand Masta Sexa just say that? What planet is he on? This is awkward to watch. What do you think Grand Master Sexa's check for this show? 200 dollars and some Twinkies? JR! JR! BY GAWD! And the crowd errupted for him. He looks good too. Michael Cole is ranting on him now, it's freaking great. Jim Ross is one of my favorites. His voice is so smooth, reminds me so much of my childhood. JR saved this segment. Rat bastard, love it. Cole and JR are squaring up in the ring. And Jack Swagger sneaks in to attack King. Swagger's got his eyes on JR, who's making the save? NO ONE. JR in the Anklelock. King makes a brief save, but he gets the Anklelock.

Oh it's Randy Orton's homecoming, yawn, yawn, yawn. Orton is boring. He'll win this match. So let's just get to it. Mason Ryan looks like he can go. I don't understand what Orton's done to be the one to blow through Nexus so quickly. RKO out of nowhere for the win. OMG THAT WAS SO ORIGINAL. We haven't seen it 45 billion times before.

Nice segment backstage featuring a lovely Trish Stratus, Snooki and Zac Ryder. Trish is gorgeous. Snooki and Ryder were bound to meet backstage, but they shouldn't have wasted that as a going to commercial spot.

Snooki is in the ring, wearing less then normal, which is hard to accomplish when you're her. I think she said Trish Stratus' name wrong. But we get a match:

If Vickie loses she doesn't get hired on Raw? I don't quite get this one. Trish Stratus is gorgeous, gorgeous. So basically everything went to hell in a handbasket. La-Cool came out. I drooled over Michelle McCool. John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler brawled a little bit and NOW GET THIS…Snooki/Morrison/Trish Stratus vs. La-Cool and Dolph Ziggler at Mania! I love it! Also credit to Dolph Ziggler for yelling, "You're not even a girl, Morrison". Probably the best "match" of the night. I can't wait to see Snooks at Mania.

This match is pretty whatever. I haven't even been paying attention but apparently The Rock is in the building. I could care less about this match after that great Snooki appearance. Brodus Clay is a big man, that's all I have to say. The Rock has to be coming out in some capacity tonight, might save this lag during the Main Event. Del Rio is good, he's about to become the World Champion I just can't care. "Vintage Cena". SHUT UP COLE! Clay comes in to break up the Attitude Adjustment. Clay and Del Rio are beating down Cena and Rock's music hits. Here comes Rocky.

Well it's Miz with a bald cap. He hits a Rock Bottom on Cena. Amazing makeup job on Miz. Amazing. Miz take's Cena to the woodshed again. And Raw is done at 11:20. LATE LATE LATE.

Matt: What will WWE do tonight that TNA will say " HEY! THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE WE CAN COPY FROM THEM!!!!." Pathetic.

Jason: For a guy who's awesome I don't think he has won a match since 2010. I want to see a Pedigree in the worst possible way. "Kick his ass, Seabass." LOVE IT FROM THE CROWD!!

Matt: I heard that too!!! Phenomenal! It's not Sheamus' fault that WWE wants to bury him for some reason.

Jason: THERE IT IS! Pedigree through the table. It's apparently 1999 again!! Listen, I'm sure Sheamus is great but he came around when I wasn't paying ANY attention to WWE. Now I think he's annoying, and I haven't seen anything to make me excited about him. Yes, part of that is WWE burying him, but also part of it is that Sheamus fails to be exciting the way Punk, Morrison, Miz, etc. have been exciting.

Matt: I'm starting to get a little scared as to what the WWE is going to do after Wrestlemania. I don't like that they are burying many younger guys, it's a bit TNAish. I think it's fine as long as these guys are all on their way out. We'll see what happens though.

Matt: YES!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!! В EVAN MATT SYDAL BOURNE!!!!!!! В Hell yes. В Bourne wins quickly with the Shooting Star Press and Sheamus gets buried even further.

Matt: В Did TNA really buy В ad time during RAW? Are they that freakin desperate. В FAIL.

Jason: WOW! WOW! WOW! TNA…just wow. And changing topics, who lit a fire under Cole's ass?

Matt: I really have grown to like Michael Cole as a heel. He does it well and the crowd always reacts which means he's doing his job.

Jason: Colesore…hahhahaha Lawler. Cole is a great heel commentator. He's great at his job, always has been, always will be. Can't wait to see who's in Cole's corner and who's going to be the ref.

Matt: I was gonna say Miz or Riley, but Swagger is a great choice. В I like this a lot actually. В What I enjoy even more is that Matthews is having a conversation with himself…i hope Daniel Bryan comes out and feuds with Swagger for the US Title, that would be awesome!

Jason: I agree that Bryan/Swagger would be a great match/feud, I thought Cole's trainer was going to be Stone Cold. Wouldn't that make sense? Tough Enough trainer…training someone. Speak of the devil, nice little SCSA promo. Does anyone care about Orton?

Matt: No. He is absolutely brutal, week after week, he shows no improvement whatsoever. I just don't get it.

Jason: I don't get why this was announced as a match scheduled for one fall. You're right about Orton though Matt, he's terrible. Punk is going to carry him. Loved hearing a fan tell Cole to shut up. We get it official : Orton vs. Punk. And now Orton faces New Nexus members. If the Nexus members win they are in Punk's corner at Mania. If the Nexus members lose they are banned from Wrestlemania.

Matt: I think it's a good thing that Orton will get some in-ring practice before Wrestlemania. Orton has a long way to go before he is able to legitimately go toe to toe with CM Punk.

Jason: Agreed Matt. BTW – this Brittani Blake girl on these Aaron's commercials is yummy. Also I was just informed that CHRIS JERICHO is on the next season of Dancing with the Stars. Can we quickly discuss this?

Matt: Yeah Jason, I heard this as well! В I may actually watch to see that. В Can I just say how much I hate it when an announcer says that something is vintage when the wrestler is 30 or younger? В HOW CAN THAT BE VINTAGE?!?!? ugh.

Jason: Agreed. If I buy a bottle of wine now, and open it in a year or two it's not vintage. It's just two years old.

Matt: Orton looks absolutely possessed. His facials are the only thing that he always does well. Anyways Orton punts Mr. Perfect's son, who has a stupid name, and escapes through the crowd. Also, back to vintage. Vintage is something that goes out of style and then comes back. Like if Orton didn't RKO for like 3–5 years and then busts it out, that may be vintage. Not if he does it every single week. Whatever, I digress.

Matt: Let me help you with that after Raw

В BTW Chikara King of Trios tickets came in today…GET EXCITED!

Matt: I am really tired of the Miz. Really really tired of him. I don't think he is progressing at all, which is a major problem for the face of the company. This is pretty painful between Miz and Cena.

Jason: Matt, this is terrible. Further proof that Cena needs the Thuganomic gimmick and that the WWE needs to take away the PG rating. Where are they going with the Alex Riley vs. John Cena match? Makes NOOOOO sense. Wait…so if Riley loses he's fired, and if Cena loses he just has to say Miz is awesome.

Jason: Great line to Josh Matthews there. ESCAPE CAGE MATCH. I like it. Stupidest conditions for a win/loss ever, but I like the fact that Riley could get some shine tonight.

Matt: Sorry Jason that award goes to Child Custody vs. Walking ex-wife down the aisle for a renewing of vows. В That will never be topped. В What absolute stupidity. В Brutal.

Jason: I don't even think an e-fed would use that gimmick. Yet Vince Russo used it. Don't they pay him? Could Awesome Kong just come out and wreck everyone?

Matt: That would be awesome, not sure what they are waiting for on her. I hate the guest commentary, it's always awful, kinda like this match so far.

Jason: Gail with a panty pull there! Trish Stratus, take note…Eve took her shoes off.

Jason: Okay we had some technical difficulties but the Rock cut an amazing promo. And by amazing I mean vein popping out of his neck type of thing. And I'm going to say something here that might not come true, but would be freaking awesome…ROCK interferes in the Cage Match tonight.

Matt: I wish the Rock would just suck it up and come back full time, he's obviously still got it.

Jason: Who knows, he might. The problem is they could never have him lose clean.

Matt: YES DANIEL BRYAN!!! В And Miz takes him out…why is the champion wasting time with Bryan?

Jason: Love that kid yelling at Miz in the front row. "You're a big cheater!" I don't get this either. Here comes the SCF.

Matt: I just don't get why they had to do it to the U.S. champion. Ugh, so many issues with the way titles are treated in wrestling these days.

Jason: I think the Rock could easily interfer in this match up. Easily. I don't see Alex Riley beating Cena cleanly, and I don't see Alex Riley being fired. Listen to the mixed reaction Cena is getting already. Alex Riley why wouldn't you dive through the door??

Matt: He hit him with a cell phone…and that prompts Cole to call that vintage by A-RI….UM WHAT!!??!?!??!?!!?!?!?

Matt:

В For sure. В That was the single worst drop kick ever. В The timing was HORRENDOUS. В Then Michael Cole had no idea what happened. В This is an absolute trainwreck. В USE THE DOOR YOU IDIOT. В Cage match psychology is very difficult and Riley FAILED horribly.

Jason: This is terrible. Crappy ending. Why is Alex Riley fired? Makes NO SENSE.

Koko B. Ware pro wrestling Sgt. Slaughter Tosh.0 http://www.cheap-heat.com/?p=2093 Tosh.0 offers a "Web Redemption" to the Crying Wrestling Fan.

Tosh.0 В offered his infamous “Web Redemption” to Dave, the Crying Wrestling Fan. You might remember Dave the most from his infamous Youtube video.

In the “Web Redemption” comedian Daniel Tosh gives a viral video star a chance toВ redeemВ themselves. In Dave’s case Tosh first did a little stand up on wrestling. He mentioned WWF vs. the World Wildlife Foundation. He mentioned Owen Hart. Tosh mentioned that wrestling was the “third favorite sport behind Incesting and NASCAR”.

When it finally came time for Tosh to interview David he had David seated in the ring. Tosh came to the ring dressed as the Ultimate Warrior and conducted a pretty funny interview. Turns out David is from Cass Haynes’ hometown! Hot Lanta!!

David is apparently now an Area Manager for a facilities company, which means he’s head of the janitors. Tosh asks him if Arn Anderson is a pussy. David answers, “No, I do not.” Tosh then shoots on Anderson.

Turns out that David was attending an event called “Tribute to Starcade”. Tosh then asks ifВ Brooke Hogan is a man. David has no idea what to make of this and says that he had no knowledge of that.

The rest of the spot featured Tosh spoofing Piper’s Pit. Koko B. Ware and Million Dollar Man fighting each other. Tosh spoofing Mean Gene. Finally Sgt. Slaughter shows up and slaps David in the Cobra Clutch. Talk about a good spot.

Jason: Happy Valentine's Day everyone. Welcome to the Monday Night Raw Blog with Matt and J. Well tonight we are wasting NO TIME. We've got Punk vs. Cena to OPEN THE SHOW. Let me say that again, PUNK AND CENA TO OPEN THE EFFING SHOW.

Looks like that Jerry Lawler is off tonight to tend to his family issues. Lawler's mother passed away, and the entire gang here at Cheap-Heat send our thoughts and prayers to him and his family.

The only bad thing about having a Cena match to open a show means that we have to deal with a Cena promo. And this one, unlike his most recent ones, is bad. However at the mention of the host of Wrestlemania a "ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY!" chant starts up. Cena made a Jersey Shore joke, I love it. Cena is just cutting a promo on Cole at this point. It isn't funny. It isn't orginal, but it's Cena, so I guess the crowd eats it up.

Oh wow, Sunday is already Elimination Chamber. It's also known as: another PPV I have to sit through to get five good mintutes. "Powdered milk and Crayola Crayons"? WHAT?

Punk comes out and interrupts Cena. Cole is happy, as am I. Punk mentioned "Gray's Sports Almanac", Back to the Future anyone? Punk talks about how he doesn't need anyone, he calls himself a good person. I LOVE IT.

Matt: Hey J, just got in from Valentine's Day dinner! Sorry buddy…what a way to start Raw!!!!!! Got in just as Cena called Cole a Ken doll. Good stuff, fun start.

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW : JOHN CENA vs. CM PUNK

Jason: Punk with a clothesline off the ring onto the floor and we get a commercial break already. So let's talk…BIG RAW TONIGHT!

Matt: Not to sound metrosexual or anything, but Punk's green tights are fuckin awesome. I'm glad the commercial break is right at the beginning of the match instead of somewhere in the middle.

Jason: I hate when they break in the middle and you come back and suddenly someone else has control of the match. DOMINOS STOP BROADCASTING ON RAW IT MAKES ME HUNGRY. Bryce, sorry your pizza was shitty.

Matt: Looks like someone heard you Jason as CM Punk is still in control post commercial break.

Jason: Big news here on the Blog. We've got Cass in the building for tonight. I figured why not!?

Matt: I usually agree with you Cass…I'm just glad they did it at the very beginning of the match.

Cass:В В Punk with some stiff shots.В В Listen to that crowd.В В He has to be the top heel in the company right now.

Jason: They hate Punk. They hate, hate, hate Punk. I think the three of us love him.

Cass: I have been a mark for Punk since I saw him in ROH years ago, then was able to see him mainstream during his TNA run.В В What a waste that was, by the way.В В Can you imagine how much better that place could be if they had kept Punk?

Matt: Cass, you mean when he was tagging with Julio Dinero? hahahah…I too first saw Punk in ROH in about 2003, and I have always enjoyed watching him.В В CM Punk vs. AJ Styles would be so amazing.

Jason: Nothing can save TNA, after what I've read about at that PPV. Botching spots to end the Main Event Ladder Match? Not good for buisness boys!

Cass: This match has been a great opener for the show.В В Way to not blow their load with the Wrestlemania announcement right out of the gate.

Jason: So true, keep people watching. Have a hot opening. Is this Matt Schorr type booking?

Cass: I cannot remember the last time I saw either of these two botch a spot.В В Love this match.В Back and forth, it has me hooked.В В Listen to that crowd.В В CENA! CENA! CENA!

Matt:В В I am certain that Punk can carry anyone to a good match.В В WHAT A SPOT!!!!В В Cena rolling through a cross-body and standing up while still holding Punk, fantastic.В В OH NO FUCK THIS.В В Not necessary.

Matt: Great match, I like the continuing storyline that Punk hasn't beaten Cena 100% on his own. These guys have great in-ring chemistry, so the more the merrier with these two. Finally a fresh rivalry for Cena.

Cass: CM Punk looks like he hasn't slept in a hot minute. Somebody looks like they have either been hanging out at my house, and have a case of the red eyes…. or well… I dunno.. doing wrestler stuff.

Matt: I can guarantee you one thing Cass, CM Punk doesn't look like that for the same reason Jeff Hardy wears armbands and face-paint.

Cass: Holy balls, a commercial break that didn't ruin a great match. They already did that spot tonight. What's the over/under for commercial breaks ruining matches tonight?

Matt: Hmm, I'll set the number at 1.5. The opener definitely was not affected by the commercial break.

Jason: Zack Snyder's Suckerpunch will probably have me giggling in the theater. Hot girls? Killing shit? 3D I-Max? UMMMMMMMM yes.

Cass: Here's the movie you're really wanting to see J, Big Momma's. Don't lie to the world.

Jason: You'd have to tie me to a chair, pry my eyes open and shock me to keep me awake for Big Momma's House.

Cass: FOOOOOUUUUURRRR TIMES THAAAA STEAAAAAAAKKKKKK!!! Sorry I love that commercial.

Jason: Matt, it's safe to say that I didn't know what we were getting into inviting our guest tonight.

Matt: Well I've learned two things. He loves commercials except when they ruin matches and he LOVES PUNK. The latter makes him always welcome!

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW : ALBERTO DEL RIO SEGMENT

Cass: AAAAALLLLLLLBERRRRRRTTOOOOOO DEL RIO!!!!!! Silence, the man is entering the arena. He demands and has earned our undivided attention. I'll see you guys in a few. HA!

Jason: Anyone else think that the ring announcer is the Spanish version of Goldberg the Goalie from Mighty Ducks?

Matt: I guess I see it.В В BTW Ricardo had a match in FCW and was said to be pretty impressive.

Cass:В В AAAAALLLLLLLBBBBBBBBBEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTOOOOOOOO!!!!В В DEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! RRRRIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Cass: We can talk, because its only Edge that is speaking. Don't make me tell you twice. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!! Edge you bastard! And he resides in my hometown. But I can't stand these actions against such a wonderful human like Alberto Del Rio!

Matt: I guess the kayfabe switch is turned on for tonight's Raw haha. Del Rio is no doubt going to be a star. He has it all.

Cass: I only cheer for Mexican wrestlers. Mexican women don't do it for me. All I can think of is taco flavored kisses, in a Cartman voice.

Cass:В В Hey, you know what its called having Clay Matthews come out in Green Bay?В В You call that…

Cass: No matter how much you hate Vickie, she is good at what she does. Listen to the crowd. She's the most hated woman alive I believe.

Cass: Yeah that just ruined what I just said. Damn it. Way to make me look bad. See, thats why I don't like mexican women. All they do is make you look bad.

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW : WOMEN'S TITLE MATCH – NATALYA vs. EVE – WOMAN'S CHAMPION

Matt: I'm still not sure what just happened. That whole thing accomplished nothing for me.

Jason: STING! STING! STING PROMO! STING PROMO! BRET HART! STING PROMO! STING PROMO!

Jason: Let me explain: last week some anxious fan boy piece of shit attacked me and said that the Taker promos where really Sting promos. Because and I quote "Taker never used a house".

Matt: If there is someone out there that doesn't think that's Taker they are either blind or incredibly stupid.

Cass: I'm not going to lie… I'm stepping away for a few minutes. Perfect timing. hahaha.

Matt: Here we have Natalya v. Eve. Two faces just trying to put on a good match. Great so far except for the fucking commentators talking about anything except the match at hand. Thank you, I think they heard me. Lumber-diva's are incredibly unnecessary in a face v. face match. Great surfboard to roll-up spot right there.

Matt:В В This match is already better than half the card at Against All Odds last night.

Matt: Very nice counter, although it was a little sloppy.В В That was actually a very solid match.В В If these two were given about 15 minutes to tell a story, they may have a shot at making womens wrestling relevant, but WWE would never allow that, oh well.В В Very impressed with Eve.

Jason: Truth be told so am I. I know we both had questions about her when she was made champ, but you know what…she's got some moves.

Cass: Well my fiancee changed the channel. So, whenever it gets switched back, I will have useful contributions. But for now I'll just Booker T it up and ramble and distract you both.

Matt: Bullshit? This shit is intense.В В These fights look like total shoots, not really sure where they are going with it.

Jason: Josh Matthews, how much did they have to pay you to talk good about The Chaperone?

Jason: I don't think any amount of money could convince me that this movie was good.

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW : SHEAMUS/MARK HENRY Segment

Jason: You know this Sheamus/Mark Henry thing would be pretty good if anyone cared about either of them.

Matt: I kinda like Sheamus, kinda sucks that he's gotten buried. OMG how did Miz keep a straight face after he pushed that dude!!!! That was hysterical!!! Time for Bryan vs. Miz, hopefully they give this some time and let these guys put on a good match.

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW : DANIEL BRYAN – UNITED STATES CHAMPION vs. THE MIZ- WWE CHAMPION

Matt: Love how they are talking about Bryan winning the title forever ago…aka he's held the belt for a long time without a legitimate challenger…woo.

Matt: Why the fuck are they showing Josh during a wrestling match. I hate that. Don't blame him for that.

Cass: Great match.В В Love the technical wrestling.В В Daniel Bryan has really started to get the attention he deserves.

Jason: I got to see a great Daniel Bryan match in his last performance at the Arena during his ROH days.

Matt: Miz and Bryan definitely have great chemistry. I've seen Daniel Bryan wrestle more times than I can count at this point. Glad this match is getting some time. Making Bryan look this strong against the champion? Starting to get him ready for the top?

Cass:В В NICE!В В Love that spot.В В Daniel Bryan off the apron, then following it up with a dropkick off the top.В В Loving this match right now.

Matt: NOOOOOOOOOO…..fucking commercial…but this match is approaching 10 minutes already and that is a very good thing.

Cass:В В AWWWWWWWEEEEEESSSSSOMMEEEE!!!В В damn, really a commercial again?В В Thats 2 right?В В You were off on your bet on the over/under.

Matt: That's only 1. The one during Punk didn't ruin the match. This one may not either, we'll see what we come back to. Listen, I don't mind if they have to take a break if they are going to give a match 15 mins.

Matt: Not quite Jason.В В Glad the match is still going strong. SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB FROM THE TOP ROPE!!!! FANTASTIC!

Matt: Oh, right.В В Sorry.В В Wow release power bomb followed by a kick to the head. THIS IS FREAKIN AWESOME.В В Give me a Cattle Mutilation and I will mark out like none other.

Matt: That was a fine finish, you can't bury your champ. Miz's finisher has to be strong and perceived as such. Bryan got a ton of offense in. If this match doesn't prove that the guy can main event, I don't know what will. All three matches so far have been pretty damn entertaining.

Jason: Matt, what did I say? I like him offering condolences better then talking shit.

Cass: Well, I like this as well.. I love the respect and the condolences… and I love the classy heel finish with a good lead into this main event. Maybe this will help get people behind it. I am sold on Jerry Lawler in the Main Event. But I can't say the same for a lot of fans I've spoke to.

Matt: I can't understand that. Lawler has put on some entertaining matches over the last couple months. He's obviously retiring soon, why not give the guy one last hurrah. WWE is obviously hurting in the main event bracket. I see no harm in it at all. Agreed on Miz's promo, that was perfect. WWE's booking makes TNA's look like CZW. CZW"s latest event bookingwise was absolutely horrid. Giving the Briscoe's the tag titles? Seriously? Made no sense.

Jason: Matt, I DISAGREE. The Briscoes are the new Dudley's. They bring credibility and stability to any Tag Division. WWE scouts, sign the Briscoes RIGHT NOW.

Cass: I disagree as well. J is on point with this one. CZW needs some names to really push them to that next level. Getting some love on G4TV helps. But why not give The Briscoes the belts. I have never been to a live show that they were wrestling on, and left thinking that they didn't put on an amazing show.

Matt: They are signed to ROH it was a one time match!?!??!В В How does this make sense?!?!?

Matt: Jason, I was at almost all those events and it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with what I am talking about. I am not taking anything away from the Briscoes. All I'm saying is that it made no sense bookingwise, mabye it's good for business, but please I implore either of you to explain how this made sense in terms of booking.

Matt:В В Jason it would be like Beer Money coming to WWE and just winning the titles.В В It makes no sense.

Jason: Matt, I see your point perfectly. The Briscoes will probably be back and compete. By having any team on the roster beat the Briscoes it gives them instant credibility. There's your answer.

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW – JOHN MORRISON and R-TRUTH vs. OTUNGA and MCGULLICUTTY

Cass: I refuse to call him McGullicutty.В В That is so horrible.В В Joe Henning, all day.В В Step your name game up Vince.

Cass: R-Truth kicking out at 1. Take that "McGullicutty". His name makes it hard for me to get behind his character. And I only root for the heels. So it puts me in a bad place.

Jason: Notice how R-Truth wasn't allowed to do his dumb entrance tonight? I wouldn't be surprised if he's buried for that for a few months.

Jason: Matt, you don't remember Punk attacking him? They are selling that injury.

Matt: OHHHH Right when I went into the whole Rick Martel discussion. Watch out for those sprays! They'll getcha.

Matt: SHIIIIIIIIINNNNNIIIIIIIINGGGGG WIIIIZAAAAARRRDDD!В В Morrison has been getting pushed a lot.В В Just not to the very top yet.В В Punk is so screwed in the chamber.

Jason: Daniel Bryan vs. John Morrison – Ladder Match. Tell me you wouldn't PAY for a PPV to see that.

Matt: No I wouldn't but I would pay for a 60 minute Iron Man match between Punk and Bryan.

Cass: Why is Nickelback the theme music for Raw?В В That alone really grinds my gears.

Cass: I've heard Bob Barker, or Austin also… but that wouldn't make much sense.

Matt: Cass, why would they make such a huge deal over Bob Barker, that is a horrific rumor.

Cass: Who wouldn't make a big deal over Bob Barker. The Price is wrong, bitch. Yeah, I hadn't heard that one until today. But it sounds more like somebody seeing he was booked on Craig Ferguson tonight, and trying to figure out why. Shoot in the dark, in my opinion. But if it's not the Rock, then I think they made a horrible decision.

Cass: He is supposed to be used as a "special enforcer/referee" role I have heard, so that would kinda take him out of the Host running, you would think.

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW – KHALI KISS CAM

Cass: Oh my god. I love Modern Family.. but its 10:30… why are you doing this to me right now.

Cass:В В Is Khali going to kiss her?В В That would be illegal, but awesome TV.

Cass: Oh my god, why give him a mic.В В That is just making fun of him in the BEST way possible.

Cass: Wait… where is this going… I don't like the music… I've heard music like this before… Wait, good. Irish jigging. Not midget frigging.

Matt: Someone needs to come up with better ideas for pre match than someone walking backstage.

Jason: What if they were signing autographs in the concession lines? That's always a nice face spot.

Cass:В В I would like that actually.В В You know that Mark Henry is gonna need a snack about halfway through the show.

Jason: Mark Henry needs more then a snack. He needs an eighteen wheeler full of Doritos or something. Actually maybe Mark Henry got to Bryce's pizza from that Dominos commercial.

Cass:В В DID ANYONE JUST SEE THAT PAINTED ON THE WALL?!В В I gotta rewind my DVR hang on a second.В В I saw something on that 2/21/11 promo.

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW – KING SHEAMUS vs. RANDY ORTON

Cass: Yep, i just rewound it. and paused it, you can clearly see Undertaker's gear and everything, with the hat down over his face.

Jason: Taker's come back is at a perfect time…month to Mania, time for him to get his match together.

Matt: But Taker has a beard.В В I just saw a mustache.В В I think it was Trips.

Matt: I'm trying to figure out why Taker would come back on Raw. Sorry for ignoring the match, I just cannot stand Randy Orton matches anymore.

Cass: I have never been able to stand Randy Orton matches.В В And the only time that I EVER hate Michael Cole, is when he is calling a Randy Orton match, and he does that whole Viper is coiled shtick.В В HATE HATE HATE HATE!

Matt: Couldn't agree more Cass. Out of nowhere RKO…big surprise….I HATE THAT!!!!!!!

Cass: I miss the days of Randy Orton botching those RKO's left and right. It gave me something to look forward to in his matches.

Cass: Double slaps to the chest sends Mason Ryan over the top?В В Child please.

Jason: Could be playing distraction here guys. I have a feeling that was Steph. We might get the entire McMahon family to make this announcement.

Cass: Those ankles looked to skinny to be Stephanie's… she's got man's ankles, son.

Matt: UM please give me Robert Roode, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Pope, Kazarian, Christopher Daniels (Curry man/suicide), Crimson….and obviously Kurt Angle.В В Oh wait…and MCMG and GenME…god so much talent over there and they are used so badly.

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW – WRESTLEMANIA HOST!

Cass: I'm on the edge of my seat. BANG! I called it with the picture before it happened! I rule.

Jason: Welcome back old friend. Welcome back. Listen to that Cena. Listen to that. You'll never get that. Please get on the mic, please, please. Can you think of a more entertaining superstar then the Rock? It's hard. Like the t-shirt "I Bring It".

Matt: And he's got the mic…this is gonna be AWESOME. My life just went backwards 10 years in an instant.

Jason: He's got a little ring rust on his mic skills, but nothing major. I think Rocky is staying this time around boys.

Jason: For his entire career the Rock has had the ability to take the entire crowd and hold them in the palm of his hand. This is a long time coming and I love it. HE'S NEVER EVER GOING AWAY!!! MARK OUT!!! YESSS! YESSS! YESSS! BEST. RAW. OF. ALL. TIME.

Cass:В В Wait… sooo… I get to mark out every week?В В Oh shit on me. Wait, they tricked me…

Jason: Can I retire from wrestling writing now? This might be a high point. I was wrong about the ring rust. I'm an idiot.

Cass: Not even The Rock can put Beiber over with this crowd. BANG! PG RATING SON! ROCK ISN'T USED TO THAT! CENSOR! CENSOR!

Matt: Rock has been gone for 7 years and is easily better than everyone on the roster on the mic.

Jason: The GM just got 45000 times more heat for cutting off the People's Champ.

Cass:В В Would you call that…… cheap-heat?В В BANG! SHAMELESS PLUGS ALL DAY LONG!!

Jason: Love the Rock not taking any bullshit towards Cole. Love it. Bet money he's gonna shove the computer up Cole's candy ass.

Cass:В В Man, TNA is really screwed now.В В Listen to this crowd.В В Nothing they can do can top this.

Cass: Wow, this is the best thing I've seen on WWE Programming in the last 10 years. Hey look, shameless plugs by The Rock too. LOVE IT.

Cass: You called that. BANG! Love it. Wow, HEEL TURN FOR CENA COMING?! God I've been waiting for that to happen for years. The crowd just made that decision for Vince.

Matt: OMG Rock v. Cena at Wrestlemania? Are you shitting me?!!?В В WELCOME TO ATTITUDE ERA 2.0…WRESTLING IS COMING BACK!!!!

Jason: Matt, I agree. This is the night the Line Was Crossed. "A blind fold wearing, stuck in a basement, Stevie Wonder can see your candy ass".

Cass: I love some John Cena, but I will REALY love some HEEL John Cena. Guys did you know that The Rock, Brings it? His shirt tells you that, in case you weren't aware.

Jason: I hand the Rock the keys to the kingdom and have him go to town on everyone on the roster, if I'm Vinny Mac.

Cass:В В Everyone in the back, needs to be taking notes.В В This man, is the ultimate promo giver.В Wait for it…. Wait for it….В В IS COOOKIN!!

Jason: Could've been just the Rock's promo and it's best Raw I've seen in a long while. Kinda interested in what the General Manager had to say though.

Cass: I have had friends that haven't watched wrestling in 10 years or longer texting me tonight wanting to know who is going to be the host, and have had the same people marking out over The Rock. Want to talk about bringing back a huge fan base that left years ago. Wow.

Matt: So does this really mean he's here for good? Is he gonna wrestle? Was that clear to either of you?

Cass:В В No, but I forgot to care during all of that either.В В The Rock just made me mark out for the first time in ages.В В I forgot about all the logistics of the matter.

Jason: He said he was never leaving. I assume that meant he was sticking around for a while.

Cass: Well, I guess I have to go to Wrestlemania now, being that I was born in Atlanta and that's where I'm from and all….

Jason: Alright, well gents…this has been one of the BIGGEST RAWS EVER. We did a good job covering it. I think it's been a successful night.

Cass: Guys, thanks for having me as your guest tonight. Hope I didn't derail us to bad. You guys are awesome, and thanks again for the great work.

Matt: Cass, it's our pleasure, thanks for giving us a forum for others to see this. I still have the chills.

So we all have old favorites in the wrestling scene, from time to time. I’ll be dipping into the vault and giving you my thoughts. So without further ado, welcome to:

Summerslam 2000 contained the first TLC Match. The match pitted Edge and Christian vs. The Hardy Boyz vs. The Dudley Boyz. The three teams have been involved previously in a Triple Ladder Match at Wrestlemania, where Edge and Christian captured their first Tag Team Title. This however is the FIRST TLC Match in the WWE.

TLC Match Recap

The match started right away, the Hardys ran into the ring for their introduction and the brawl was on. At the outset of the match good ol’ JR mentions WWE Heat. Do you remember watching Heat before a PPV? They would put on a decent promo or storyline for the PPV.В ApparentlyВ the Dudleys and the E/C had a brawl on Heat.

The Hardys dominate the opening moments of the match. Matt Hardy tosses a chair at Bubba Ray’s head, it’s great. Jeff runs across the ring to do “Poetry in Motion” onto Bubba and Bubba responds by whacking him in the head with a chair. A small reminder as to why these three teams (theВ majorityВ of which are no longer with the WWE) were so great.

Once the Hardys and the Dudleys turn the chairs on each other Edge and Christian come in like Dr. MantisВ TobogganВ and clean up the scraps. Christian vaults himself off a chair and delivers a cross body to Devon. The crowd simply DOESN’T react. Great spot though. Edge finishes the spot by using a drop toe hold to send Devon head first onto the chair.

Edge brings a ladder into the ring and this match takes a turn for spot city. Bubba Ray sends a chair into Edge as he tries for a clothesline. Bubba Ray tries to climb the ladder, far too early, per the usual case of a Ladder Match and gets “double powerbombed” according to JR by the Hardys.

Devon brings in another ladder and things start to get interesting. Devon and Jeff Hardy are climbing at the same time. Edge comes in between them and all three men Superplex I guess off the two ladders. Great spot, a great reminder of why these matches USED to be entertain. But more on that later.

Christian begins climbing and Bubba Ray comes too. Then Bubba Ray Dudley does only what Bubba Ray Dudely can…the Bubba Bomb off the top of the ladder onto Christian. Great spot, great sell by Christian and Bubba. Great workers.

A great spot where Edge pushes Jeff Hardy off a ladder, onto a ladder, that kicks up and hits Matt Hardy in the skull. Lawler calls it the “see saw affect” and I remind myself how much I hate his current WWE push. Edge and Christian go for their infamous Conchairto on Jeff Hardy, Hardy ducks and they whack each other. Always a classic spot. I think Edge should bring back one man Conchairto’s on Ziggler. Would be money.

Interesting programming note here: several times JR wonders “How do you learn to fall off a damned latter”. This was at the height of backyard wrestling times. I wonder if JR was being a little smark-ish with his comments.В Edge gets laid out by Bubba, Devon is on top of the ladder. Top of the ladder “WHAZZZZUP” headbutt drop. Great use of a great marketing campaign by the WWE. There was a time when they had a lot of fun. After Edge is down, Bubba Ray slaps Devon and yells for him to get the tables. Probably the best thing that a 13 year old boy could hear on a summer Sunday night.

Bubba Ray does work in the next spot. Devon is delayed getting the tables, because he checks under the ring during a TLC Match, when tables are literally everywhere. Bubba throws some ladders on Jeff Hardy to bide time. Then when Devon sets up the table, he clears the ring of Jeff Hardy and the ladders in order to perform the 3D to Christian through the table a little cleaner. Well played.

Probably one of the most memorable spots in this match. The Dudelys build a two tiered double table. Four tables, two rows of two, right outside the ring. Jeff Hardy meet your match! POWERBOMB TIME! NO WAIT! Edge is out of nowhere and delivers chair shots. But wait…Matt Hardy kicks him in the gut and hits a Twist of Fate. Matt climbs the ladder, delivers a HUGE leg drop and Jeff is right behind him. Jeff uses the turnbuckle, leap frogs the ladder and delivers a HUGE leg drop of his own. An epic spot, great use of the ladder, everything a match like this should have. I almost feel bad for Edge.

Tell me this: Jeff Hardy in his prime vs. John Morrison and his parkor style. MOTY canidate?

Matt Hardy puts Edge in a ladder and starts to close on him over and over and over again. Christian gets on the turnbuckle looking for a dropkick. Matt takes Christian tosses him off the turnbuckle and onto the ladder with Edge still in it. That sounds so strange to right, but it’s quite literally what hapened.

Then we cut to outside where Jeff Hardy has a twenty foot ladder, not a ten foot ladder and has Bubba Ray on a table. Hardy is at the top. Senton bomb, and Bubba rolls out of the way. Jeff Hardy, NO ONE HOME. Hardy somehow goes through three tables and two officials look confused as to weather he’s dead or not. And to that a “Holy Shit” chant breaks out, very quietly on camera.

Matt Hardy decides it’s a great idea to bring the twenty foot ladder INTO the ring. On the outside Edge dishes out another chair shot on Bubba Ray. I’m convinced that ever chair shot he took in this match made him stupid enough to sign with TNA. Hardy starts climbing, Devon runs over starts climbing, Edge and Christian start climbing. So we have Matt and Christian on one side, Edge and Devon on the other. Christian lands a Reverse DDT off the ladder onto Matt and Edge tosses Devon off the ladder and somehow Devon catches his throat on the top rope. UM WHAT. Spots galore. WWE study this TLC match and replicate.

Bubba Ray comes into the ring, still selling the chair shot, excellent worker. I’m telling you. Bubba Ray climbs to the top. Edge gets up, pushes the ladder and sends Bubba through the Four Tables set up on the outside. Great spot. I remember I was laughing that it was Bubba who went through the tables he worked so hard to set up.

Edge and Christian have it won. They are climbing up to get the belts, they haveВ successfullyВ defended their championship. When out comes Lita. She pushes the ladder over, Edge catches his privates on the rope, Christian catches his leg. Both of them are down. The entire crowd is backing the Hardys. After all JR tells us they are from “down the road in Cameron, North Carolina”. I was a huge Hardy Boyz fan. Matt Hardy comes in climbs the ladder but as he’s at the top Devon pushes the ladder and sends Matt through a table.

Lita checks on Matt on the outside, Edge gets up and Spears the crap out of her. Well that came later, but still. HEY HO!

Amazing spot to end this match. Both Jeff and Devon have a title, Jeff kicks the ladder out and both men are hanging on the titles. Edge is panicking underneath and tries to set the ladder back up. Edge uses the ladder, gets Devon off a title and then Edge and Christian THROW a ladder at Jeff and he falls to the mat titleless as well. HOW MANY FALSEВ FINISHESВ DO WE GET!?

TLC Match Review

Arguably one of my favorite matches of all time. Here’s how insane the WWE was at the time, this match didn’t even feature the biggest bump of the night. That happened when Shane O’Mac fell fifty feet off the Jumbotron in his match with Blackman.

I get that it’s a much different WWE universe now but this match is a classic. A great feud that all the teams hating one another, hating one another. Edge and Christian were heels, the Dudleys and the Hardys were faces, the Hardys though were monster faces. The Hardys worked so hard and finally got those Tag Titles. Back then the Tag Division meant something, unlike today.

The matches we see today that are gimmicks or stipulations, usually lack the planning this match had. The spots are a bit messy sure, but this match is a classic. It features guys who can work, doing what they know. Usually a gimmick match now features a bit of blood, some high spots and then a good finish and the fans go home happy. I feel like fans were smarter during the attitude era.

This is one of the greatest matches of all time. I hope you enjoyed my little commentary on it. We’ll see how this thing builds as Cheap-Heat continues to roll along. BTW – did I really write almost 2,000 words on a TLC Match?

WWE Monday Night Raw

Matt and J's Awesome WWE Monday Night Raw Blog : 02/07/2011

Jason: First thing is first, Happy Birthday to my co-host Matt Schorr. Matthew, did ya enjoy yourself?

Matt: Why thank you Jason. I sure did and I'm ready for some Raw Bloggin! First time I've been here at the beginning of the show in awhile. Vinnie MAC IS BACK.

Jason: What could this be? Admitting that his wife's Congressional bid was a terrible idea?

Jason: I doubt that's going to happen this time around, but he's out and he's jabbering on about Wrestlemania and they're going to have a special host. We're going to meet him next week. And interrupted by RANDY ORTON! The Viper.

Matt: I think Vince was done his announcement when Orton came out and Orton continues his record streak of most consecutive TV appearances without pants on.

WWE Monday Night Raw – Randy Orton on the Mic

Jason: Do not put him in a program with CM Punk, do not put him in a program with CM Punk, please, please, please. For the love of God.

Jason: I want Punk to start carrying a lighting bolt around with him, like the front of the t-shirt. Punk called Randy, Randall. I love it.

Jason: I love when they do something like this. They should do more stuff like this.

Matt: Here comes the Nexus, minus Harris, who was punted in the head by Orton last week. Orton trying to fight back but even the Viper can't overcome the numbers. Looks like Punk just got busted open the hard way and may have a broken nose…holy shit.

Jason: Yeah, Punk looks pretty bad. Sure it's not the first time Punk has gotten a broken nose in ring. And here's the GTS! Love that Punk mocked Randy's viper fists.

Matt: Damn dude, what got busted open on Punk…Otunga just looked at it and had a "wtf" look on his face. First time we've seen blood on Raw since Edge smashed the Raw GM against his head.

Jason: Oh God, here's the Triple H trailer again. I would need to be paid 3,000 dollars to see this movie. And get unlimited movie food. And unlimited Cherry Coke. And get to meet Triple H. And even then I might turn it down. Terrible.

WWE Monday Night Raw – Mason Ryan vs. R-Truth

Matt: Here we go with our first look at Mason Ryan in the ring. I cannot believe that an announcement of that magnitude was during the commercial.

Jason: Neither can I. Cena vs. Punk should be live and give the kids at home time to mark out/beg to stay up later. In other news, R-Truth needs to be dropped into the bottom of the sea, so I never have to hear his entrance theme again. R-Truth can't even get the name of the city right. He said Green Bay, instead of Milwaukee. A Milwaukee chant has come out of NOWHERE!

Matt: Thank you Milwaukee. That was phenomenal. R-Truth is stupid and can't wrestle, yet he has a job in WWE and guys like Shelton Benjamin don't. That's just freakin horrible. Not sure I've ever seen a guy body slam someone into the ropes to hurt a leg. Not a very good choice with R-Truth here, someone who cannot carry Mason Ryan. Love this submission move!!! Davey Richards…I think it was Davey, used to do a move just like it…good stuff.

Jason: R-Truth is not selling any of this. Fire Truth. Can we start that movement?

Matt: How the fuck can you disqualify someone after the match has ended if the reason for disqualification had nothing to do with the actual match. Also, why does it freakin matter. STUPID!!!!! You know what's up? R-Truth needs to peace out for….forever.

Matt: Jason. It's called storyline. We go over this every week. Waste of time is a match that has no purpose whatsoever like Uso's vs. Santino/Kozlov. The only purpose there was to bury the Uso's and take a shit on the reputation of the tag titles. NOW, that's a waste of time.

Jason: True. I love Punk here, telling his guys to hurt people. NEVER LET MASON RYAN TALK. It sounds like there's peanut butter on the roof of his match. Again with the faith concept with Punk.

WWE Monday Night Raw – Gail Kim/Eve/Tamina vs. The Bella Twins/Melina

Jason: The Bellas. Gorgeous, gorgeous. Michael Cole is hating everyone today. I like it. That boot on Gail Kim was terrible. It looked like a love tap. Why do we have so many guest commentators during crazy matches? I can never follow along.

Matt: The guest commentators really take away from the matches, it really pisses me off. WWE obviously doesn't care though. I want a real Daniel Bryan match one of these days. The tag titles and US title don't get as much time as the Diva's title. IT MAKES NO SENSE.

Jason: I ALMOST forgot that Daniel Bryan was US Champ. You have the guy beat the Miz and then bury him. Here's another crazy promo for what has to be the Undertaker's return.

WWE Monday Night Raw – Michael McGuilicuty vs. John Morrison

Matt: Next, we have Michael Mc vs. John Morrison. В Over under on the amount of times Michael Cole says parkour during the match. В Number is set at 2.5.

Matt: This is being so well done storyline wise. В Punk has the Nexus doing his dirty work and it is just brilliant.

Jason: TWO for parkour! And I agree Matt, WWE has been very good with Punk and Nexus as of late.

Matt: And Jason has lost the bet. В Am I a genius or what? В 2.5 was perfect

В On a side note, that is the first Starship Pain that landed perfectly in a long time.

Jason: PUNK with some spray in Morrison's face. What the hell was that? Great sell by Morrison.

Matt: Was that the same stuff Rick Martel used to use? That shit used to kick ass. Not many people remember Rick Martel, but besides his amazing Royal Rumble performance, ruined by a crazed Ultimate Warrior, he had a wonderful feud with Jake the Snake. After blinding Jake with his spray, they had a blindfold match. One of the funniest, yet greatest matches, I have ever seen. I gotta admit. Miz and Lawler's matches have been better than the Edge/Miz matches, which were BRUTAL. Still can't get over how bad they were.

WWE Monday Night Raw – Miz/Lawler Promo

Matt: Great promo from Miz here. Lawler, playing to the kids here, but no…he's not funny. Miz needs someone to carry him in the ring. Daniel Bryan was able to. Lawler was able to. Cena was able to. But not everyone can. Hell of a punch from Lawler on DiBiase.

Jason: Can we stop this now? Please. Lawler is painful on the mic. "Poop, manure, compost, whatever you wanna call it." — what is this shit? WHY!? Just to have Lawler lose at the Elimination Chamber. That's what I don't get it.

Matt: Well I guess we get to continue the streak of me disagreeing with you because this Lawler promo has been great. They are hyping this match the perfect way. Lawler is finally getting his chance, he put in his dues, he deserves it. DANIEL BRYAN MAKING THE SAVE! Please give us Lawler/Bryan v. Miz/DiBiase!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Here weeeee goooooooo! Alex Riley just called Daniel Bryan, Bryan Danielson. I believe he is the 5th person to do that. What a dumb name change haha. It's nice to actually see Bryan wrestle, I feel like it's been forever.

WWE Monday Night Raw – Daniel Bryan/Jerry Lawler vs. The Miz/Ted DiBiase

Jason: I agree. There is too little good talent at the top, in both Smackdown and Raw. Didn't Mark Henry fight for the title a couple of times?

Matt: I'm not really sure, but I never once bought that he could be a champion. That was a very awkward interview, but very well done by Sheamus. Love the hoody Otunga is sporting.

WWE Monday Night Raw – Mark Henry vs. Sheamus

Jason: Love the hoody too. I think Punk set this all up.

Matt: Mark Henry is out and him and Sheamus are brawling in the ring. Otunga has been thrown aside. I cannot comprehend all this Mark Henry nonsense. Why would you bury one of the only believable title contenders. Ugh. This is stupid. I guess it's fine that it continues the injuring of elimination chamber competitors. Here comes Del Rio!!!!! WHAT AN AWESOME CAR!!!

WWE Monday Night Raw – Alberto Del Rio vs. Santino

Jason: Cass' favorite: ADR.

Matt: How can you not love ADR…the guy is awesome!

Jason: Tonight almost seems overbooked or something. People coming out on top of other people's finishing their segments, commercial breaks leading to impromptu matches. It's all very weird.

Matt: Very astute of you Jason. They definitely are trying to cram in as much as they possibly can. I don't really mind that they are cutting things out like GM announcements at this point. There is more time for wrestling which is always good in my mind. Wish the matches were better, but hey, can't have it all….although we should be able too….oh well.

Jason: Was it Del Rio's "manifest destiny" to win the Rumble? ADR vs. Santino. Santino reminds me of a retarded Ari Gold at times.

Matt: This match has been fun so far…which is its exact purpose. В Del Rio will win and look good. В Some fun spots with Santino pretending this is the Royal Rumble.

Jason: Del Rio will be a good Smackdown champion.

Matt: Once again, great ring psychology shown by Del Rio. I love this guy, he's gonna be a superstar for sure.

Jason: Santino selling that Cross Arm Breaker.

WWE Monday Night Raw – Vikki/Dolph and John Cena Segment

Here is Vikki. I love Dolph but this relationship nonsense is bizarre. And here's John Cena out to interrupt, for what reason? Ah, to cut a face promo. This promo is kind of bizarre. But Cole is playing a great HEEL. Cole telling King that he "wore sweatpants for 42 years" I love it. And here we go…an actual Cena promo.

Jason: Terrible Triple H trailer again.

WWE Monday Night Raw – Cena vs. Punk

Jason: And here's our big finish: Cena vs. Punk. Punk working Cena over pretty good. Punk is a guy who has a great in ring presence. He can go with almost anyone. So great how Cena keeps looking back at the ramp, thinking that the rest of Nexus is coming out. Cena went and got himself DQed for a Low Blow. Otunga and Mc were in the ring, King handed Cena a steel chair and Cena cleared house. KING IS SO LAME. SO FREAKING LAME. That's how Raw ends, so so. On behalf of the gang here at Cheap Heat….GOOOOOD NIGHT.

Matt and J's Exciting WWE Raw Blog!

Jason: Well welcome everyone, Matt isn't with us yet. Michael Cole reminds us that we are officially on the road to Wrestlemania. Tonight, we've got Champion vs. Champion, Edge vs. the Miz, and there must be a winner. What an awesome announcement to kick things off.

And out first, to open the show, ALBERTO DEL RIOOOO! And he's got a mariachi band with him. This is awesome. They're all little Mexican kids, can we have someone cut a promo insulting all of them? What I don't get is why they tell us the price of everyone of his cars. Do I care? NO! And he's got balloons. Not hard to impress the Mexicans, is that PC?

Del Rio is decent on the mic, but this is getting a little wordy. Del Rio has decided who he's going to face…he's slow playing it, speaking in Spanish and OUT COMES THE MIZ!

Cole is once again standing like a fan boy. Eat your heart out Grant. Miz: "You're win is impressive, almost as impressive as winning the Money in the Bank match, cashing it in and beating Orton three times in a row". Miz and A-Rod say that Edge is talking behind Del Rio's bac. : "JBL meets Tito Santana knockoff" about Alberto. Great promo in the ring. Oh wow, they mentioned Alberto taking out Christian. And guess who that got Edge to come out…

This could be the best opening promo in sometime on this show. Edge comes out says he doesn't have to talk behind anyone's back, calls himself the Rated R Superstar, all with rolling r's.

Del Rio announces he's challenging Edge and Edge decks Del Rio with a huge punch. Miz backs away out of the ring and Del Rio attacks Edge and grabs a guitar from the band. Cracks Edge with it hard. Cross Arm Breaker on Edge.

You have to wonder why have a RAW headline with a Smackdown storyline segment? Even if the Miz was involved.

WOW!!! Nexus – Husky Harris and McGuillicuty vs. the Tag Team Champs

I'm really pumped for this Tag Team match. Want to see the Nexus with some more gold.

GM Announcement – Raw Rumble Match – Randy Orton, CM Punk, John Morrison, R Truth, Sheamus, Jerry "the King" Lawler, and John Cena. Whoever wins will get a shot at the Miz at the Elimination Chamber, and then the other six men will compete in the Elimination Chamber Match it's self.

How stupid is it to have R-Truth and King in an Elimination Chamber. However Morrison will have some amazing spots in that match. I'm pretty excited.

WWE RAW – TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH!

So far this match has been so slow. Haven't even been really paying attention. Why can't they just put Nexus over and be done? Back to the match after a commercial. Husky Harris looks sloppppy. And Nexus just lost, to the freaking cobra. WWE, just when I thought I understood you.

Orton to the ring to hit RKO's on McGuillicuty and Harris, for what is probably going to become no reason at all. Punk and the rest of Nexus. Punk sounds like he's almost recruiting Orton.

Matt: Hey Jason, sorry for my tardiness, it's been a rough hour…but I'm just in time for some PUNK!

Jason: Matt has endured a rough night ladies and gents. But he's here just in time, for this bizarre segment. Orton with a punt! Orton escaped Nexus through the crowd and Punk is livid.

Matt: That was really bizarre, I feel like I've lost track of where the "New" Nexus angle is going. What is the main goal? Punk to become champion? If so why is he helping the champion and going after a guy that obviously can't win it? WTF is the Raw Rumble???

Jason: It's going to be an over the top rope Rumble, I explained it a little bit ago. WOW, WWE! If you're going to do what I think you're going to do, I love you.

Matt: Take King out of the Raw Rumble?

Jason: And push Ted.

Matt: Ted DiBiase was fantastic when he wrestled in Japan. В If given the time and given the ability to use his full moveset, he could really be something special. В I am getting very tired of this Lawler storyline, В although I really must admit that he has been pretty solid in the ring.

Jason: Using Marysee as a shield, I loved it. And I love where this just went. But it's just burying Ted, deeper and deeper, and deeper, and deeper.

Matt: Did Dibiase get caught looking at Stephanie McMahon porn? Jesus, he's being treated worse than the Brooklyn Brawler right now. Another Champion v. Champion?!?!!??! DON'T FUCK IT UP THIS TIME YOU AWFUL COMMENTATORS.

Jason: Did you not read my lead in!?

Matt: Reading it during this commercial. В Sorrrrrrrrry.

Jason: How bad is Big Momma's House going to be?

Matt: Is this an Undertaker promo or somemthing?

Jason: Well we'll find out on 2-21-11.

WWE RAW – Daniel Bryan vs. Tyson Kidd

Matt: YES! Daniel Bryan time!

Jason: The Bella Twins are amazing. Not just attractive but you know what, storyline wise, I kinda like this.

Matt: Look at the stress that puts on the shoulder. Pretty ridiculous. Also, I don't understand why Bryan doesn't defend the title anymore but whatever…Here come the Bellas and a cat fight has broken out!!! Damn dude, this is as close to a shoot cat fight as I've seen. She was ripping hair out. Awesome.

Jason: I thought it was almost a shoot last night. Hope everyone is wearing stickytape. I will buy a best of Shawn Michaels DVD. And it's Champion vs. Champion where we don't see their entrances.

WWE RAW – Champion vs. Champion – Edge vs. the Miz – there must be a winner

Matt: I really like that they are doing entrances during the commercial break. В Saves time for actual wrestling and storyline development. В I have no problem with it at all. В I also like the champions being announced after getting into the ring. В Edge already selling the guitar shot, good stuff.

Jason: The thing is this match is kind of a clumsy. Why is it here? What point does it serve? To entertain us? The crowd isn't even up for it.

Matt: What I really don't get is why, if the first match was SO bad, that they would do it again. It serves NO purpose to have champion v. champion. Edge has NO reason to be on Raw. Now I have even less reason to watch Smackdown. Horrible.

Jason: No one watches Smackdown, they really need to kill the brand split.

Matt: I would agree but the roster is too large. A lot of people would have to be cut. There's not enough time for everyone to be on a single roster. It'll turn into Nitro…and NO ONE wants that.

Jason: I agree, I just think it would benefit fans.

Matt: I agree with you on that point for sure. It would also benefit the WWE a little bit. Ugh, these two guys have absolutely no in-ring chemistry, I'm bored to tears. WWE should realize that there is a problem when the crowd cannot get excited for their two champions to fight each other. So bad.

Jason: He butchered that Toby Keith line. "I Ain't As Good As I Once Was" is the song, the line is "I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was." Miz and Edge do not mix. What the hell is this? Cena in a press box? What the hell?

Matt: Thank God that's over.

Jason: Did like Cena interacting with the fans, but come on, this skit was so freaking bad. I don't understand it. The WWE confuses the fuck out of me. A good month in January, and then end the month/start the month with this crap.

Matt: It is very frustrating. I have my issues with both TNA and WWE, but they are very different. There has been a lot of very poor storyline decisions that have been driving me nuts.

Jason: You wanna talk frustrating. Philly is airing anti-soda commercials saying they contain too much sugar. But you wanna talk awesome, STONE COLD — TOUGH ENOUGH!

Matt: Here comes Vicky to talk about how Edge used the Spear.

WWE RAW – Women's Tag Team Match – LayCool vs. Natalya and Eve

Jason: WHY. DO. I. CARE. NO ONE WATCHES SMACKDOWN. If I just got beat
for the Title why the fuck would I team up with the girl who won it?

Matt: You beat me to the question Jason. I have no clue. These four do have solid chemistry though. Hopefully this match gets more than 2 minutes. I still can't figure out what caused Eve to be pushed out of nowhere.

Jason: Start the counter. BTW Matt…you called me at 9:11 tonight.

Matt: Really? FML.

Jason: This match…why…why? How isn't that a legal tag btw? They touched. AND more then 2 mins, Matt.

Matt: WTF!!!!! Why would Natalya be trying to get into the ring with her partner completely in control?!??!?? AND THEN THEY BURY THE CHAMP!!!!!! IOSJIOJSDOSMVOMSOMNGOHEIOGEWIOGUWIG89W4 WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!! WHO IS FUCKING BOOKING. I'M GOING TO GO SHOOT THEM.

Jason: Matt is the reason that ID backgrounds are so strict for firearms purchasing in NJ.

Matt: I've never shot a gun in my life thank you very much.

Jason: We'll change that soon. Get you up in the mountains at a range, or better yet go down to Cass' wedding and paintball him!

Matt: Used to play paintball a lot until I got hit in the hand and had to get paint and plastic removed from my hand.

Jason: This RAW is dragging. Not a big, big fan.

WWE Raw – USO's vs. Henry/Khali

Matt: Last couple have been dragging. Mark Henry and Great Khali as a tag team? And here we go with the USO's getting buried even further. Number 1 Contenders Match probably from the GM here…

Jason: DANCE OFF? WHAT?

Matt: Kill me. Kill me now. Ok wow. The Uso's can fuckin dance.

Jason: This is going to be a riot. OH JESUS WHAT A TRAIN WRECK. WHAT A TRAIN WRECK. WHY WAS THIS JUST ON!?

Matt: Time for the Raw Rumble. I have a feeling that Cena will not win….Mizerference. King will not win. Sheamus and R-Truth, NO WAY. Punk probably won't and Morrison they don't seem to want to push, so that leaves freakin Orton. Ugh.

Jason: Lawler gets his shot I think, to possibly headline Wrestlemania. Oh Jesus Triple H in a movie!?

Matt: This looks HORRENDOUS. Oh my god.

Jason: Easily the winner of a Razzie next year. I didn't laugh once. The girl from Modern Family should be ashamed. Isn't she supposed to be smart on that show!?

Matt: That's a big break for her dude. Good for her. She's gonna be hot. (that was kinda creepy to say…)

Jason: Matt I was just informed that the Women's Tag Team match lasted only 2:46.

WWE RAW – FIRST EVER RAW RUMBLE

Matt: We have Sheamus and Morrison out first, working very slowly. John Cena is out at number 3.

Jason: If they don't put Cena in a World Title match at WM how pissed would people be?

Matt: I wouldn't care, but he will be.

Jason: They're all going to be in the ring at once. Everyone realizes that right?

Matt: Most likely. I hope Punk takes this down, but he won't So Punk at 4. R-Truth at number 5, speaking of wrestlers I cannot stand. R-Truth=Fail.

Jason: Why have this match? WHY!? WHY!? Why is R-Truth in this? Why?

Matt: Well they are having this since the winner was the Smackdown champ and he's gonna go after the Smackdown title. R-Truth is over with the crowd, that's about the only reason I've got.

Jason: What is going on? This is so messy. WHY DO YOU ELIMINATE PUNK!?

Matt: Jason that was booking 101 right there. Obviously they are setting up a Punk/Orton feud. I actually think this has been done fine so far. Miz is gonna take out Cena. Which leads me to believe that Lawler may actually win and then have a title vs. retirement match or something. Fun match so far. WHAT A SAVE BY MORRISON….AGAIN. Wow…just awesome stuff. A total miss on starship pain…haha. Morrison finally eliminated by Sheamus.

Jason: Morrison will be fun to watch in the Elimination Chamber, that's for sure.

Matt: LAWLER WINS LAWLER WINS LAWER WINS!!!!!

Jason: He's not going to go to Mania.

Matt: If there's one thing I've learned in all the years I've watched wrestling it's never say never. Until next time.

Jason: Enjoy our Raw blog!

RAW IS MATT & J.

http://www.cheap-heat.com/wrestling/matt-and-js-fantastic-raw-blog-pre-rumble-01242010/ http://www.cheap-heat.com/wrestling/matt-and-js-fantastic-raw-blog-pre-rumble-01242010/#comments Tue, 25 Jan 2011 04:10:16 +0000 nightoutxx Blogs Featured Results Wrestling CM Punk daniel bryan John Cena Miz pro wrestling Randy Orton RAW TNA Wrestling Wade Barrett wwe WWE Monday Night Raw http://www.cheap-heat.com/?p=1522 Matt and I tackle one of the worst Raws in most recent memory.

Matt: I hear Christian is still a little ways from being fully cleared to wrestle. В I think an Edge/Christian feud would be wonderful.

Jason: The Core on Smackdown? Nexus on Raw? Faction war starting? Edge is doing a good job on this microphone. He's amazing.

Matt: Actually Jason, it's spelled Corre. Faction warfare is what the WWE has been missing and it is what I have been begging for. I'm very excited for this.

Jason: And now we have the General Manager with another E-Mail. Attention please!! Attention please!! And an impromptu match, whoever tosses Edge over the top rope will earn Number 40 in the Rumble.

Matt: В They always have these kind of hype matches, although I really enjoy a Royal Rumble when I have absolutely no idea when anyone is coming out.

Jason: Tyson Kidd is in and he gets eliminated. Drew McIntyre and Jack Swagger in there as well. Swagger gets tossed. Drew McIntyre gets tossed as well. Edge eliminates all three men. And Edge is gonna smash the laptop again. Cole is protecting the computer.

Matt: When Edge gets that computer in his hands blood usually follows, it makes the man insane.

Jason: NEXUS IS OUT before Edge can do it. Furthering Matt's Punk is the GM idea.

Matt: I have thought this since he came out to do commentary. В It seems to be making more and more sense, but I guess we will find out in due time.

Jason: Lawler is saying they've been brainwashed. It's such a good angle. Another reference to Punk as a Shepard. Thus furthering my Flock comparison.

Matt: It is just like the flock Jason, you have been right on with that comparison since the beginning. В Punk is such a good leader.

Jason: Punk with the mic talking about evolution and introducing the new member…Mason Ryan. — It was 9:11 when I typed that. "I only have one thing to say: faith." — Ryan's first WWE words. Ties perfectly into this angle.

Matt: В Gotta love the accent. В When Mason Ryan gets it all together he is going to be quite a force to be reckoned with. В В Jason, I am quite sorry, I am going to have to dip out for a little bit, I have full confidence you can handle this in my absence.

Jason: Funny how the champion isn't opening the show. Is Edge still out there? Punk talking shit on the Corre. Anyway that Punk loses the Rumble? And possibly goes to Smackdown? OUGHT OH!!! The Corre. The Corre is a group of equals according to Wade. I wish anyone in the Corre was as good as Punk. Mason Ryan as an enforcer is scary good. GM MANAGER TIME again. Has to be some sort of record. "AND I QUOTE!!" Tonight Wade Barett vs. CM Punk. BOOMSTICK. Whoever loses and their group is out of the Rumble. Special Guest Ref match — JOHN CENA! Finally, the WWE gets something right. Cena doesn't have to wrestle, we get Punk wrestling. It's a J dream come true!! Does anyone else kinda wanna see "I Am Number Four". Morrison is out now for a Tag Team Match, he's partnering with Mark Henry. Their opponents are King Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio. Pretty good match in the making here. Morrison and Del Rio should be showcased. Cole and King doing a good job reminding us that Sheamus vowed to eliminate Morrison. Match has kind of lost me with a long comerical break. Del Rio is getting put over here as "vicious", so they are clearly building him up a bit. Sheamus is soooo freaking pale. I think it's great to see Henry packing on the side of the ring. Sheamus with an amazing Tilt A Whirl Backbreaker. Move sounds so complex, even though it isn't. Morrion hits a desperation kick. Henry just knocked Del Rio into next week. Mark Henry now taking it to Sheamus until RHODE KICK. Corckscrew over the top from Morrison and Del Rio spins Henry into a Cross Arm breaker, for a blink if you miss it finish Diva's Match. Yawn fest, even if it is for the title.

Matt: Well Jason, I sure owe you big time, that was some wonderful one sided commentary! YOU ARE THE MAN! (In Harry Kalas voice) This is actually a pretty solid diva's match for a raw. Lots of mat wrestling, you gotta love it.

Jason: That finish was pretty good, but the rest of it was just typical WWE fooder. Here's a women's match, we'll let the challenger look impressive for two seconds.

Matt: Haha, yeah you're definitely right on that one. Here comes LayCool, gotta love the female heels, they do a great job and they are pretty damn hot.

Jason: If they are serious about bringing the Diva's Division back, Awesome Kong debuts this week. And lays out everyone.

Matt: I am sticking with my original prediction with her debut in the Royal Rumble. В A woman that size will be able to hang with the guys and it will make her look even more monstrous in the ring with a woman.

Matt: Punk being a great leader right here, rallying the troops, getting up their confidence.

Jason: Punk is so good. He's like a military leader. Husky Harris brings up a great point, though.

Matt: В Punk really is brianwashing these guys. В They are buying into it as far as i can tell and it is such a wonderful angle, something we have not seen in a long time. В Cena hates both Barett and Punk so this should be quite interesting.

Jason: Wow, John Cena…I'm loving this segment. Wow, Miz and Riley creepy laugh. Wow, a Shining joke from Cena. Wow! Wow! Wow!

Matt: I knew you'd come around on Cena eventually! When he just lets loose all sorts of goodness comes out.

Jason: IDEA MACHINE…Cena and Punk are both the last two eliminated. They both get a shot, they both challenge Miz. Cena vs. Punk vs. Miz for the Title at Mania.

Matt: I'm not sure that's the way it'll go down, but I do believe that it will be Punk v. Cena v. Miz for the title, maybe not a �Mania, but definitely sometime in the near future. I'm still waiting for Riley to turn on Miz and start that feud, because that is being built up perfectly too.

Jason: �Mania would be a great place to display that match. Dragging Miz into the heart of the Nexus Flock storyline, that would be great.

Matt: Here we go with Champion v. Champion. В Normally this would be a headlining main event but with the wonderful faction warfare the champions take a back seat and to be honest, I love that!

Matt: We have Dolph Ziggler doing commentary at ringside for this match. В Ziggler is a wonderful up and coming star and in my opinion will be a great champion. В I am always in support of having champions that can really wrestle. В Ziggler has proven he can hang with the best over and over and for that he has my respect.

Jason: Dolph seems like he's pretty good. I like his whole persona. Another break…another mouthwatering food item. Question Matthew: how much fun are we going to have with Marvel vs. Capcom?

Matt: I don't even know how to answer that…we are going to have an absolute blast!!! To all our readers…my mac is in the shop and I am on a PC and it is driving me nuts. All of the stats and fun facts I usually have may suffer, but I promise I will do my best!

Jason: Yes speedy recovery. And we're back to the match and Dolph is winning me over. He's not super cocky, but he's very confident. Edge is doing a great job selling the rib injury.

Matt: As much as the commentary is moving a storyline, it is really taking away from this match. This Michael Cole gushing over Miz has gotten so STALE. I mean seriously, we get it dude. Either explain the obsession or move on, it's enough already.

Matt: I give up. В This match is totally destroyed. В Two commercials. В FUCK THIS. В I am officially pissed off.

Matt: Sure sounded that way. I have absolutely no idea what's going on. All I know is I hate how this match is going. The commentary has taken away. The match isn't all that entertaining. I just don't get what this is accomplishing besides frustrating me beyond belief.

Matt: В Not to mention the wrestling. В Absolutely BRUTAL. В Sorry that I am harping on this but I mean Miz has not taken a move correctly in this entire match. В If you are protecting both guys so heavily why the fuck waste our time with a BS match.

Jason: Edge has looked bored throughout this entire match. He looked up at one point as if to say "really!?".

Jason: That's true. So according to urban legend since Orton put down the Champ pretty much tonight that means he's NOT winning, right?

Matt: Historically that would be correct Jason, but who knows these days. I really can't see Miz dropping the title, he is just getting too much publicity. WWE is a business at the end of the day.
Looks like they are going to try to make The Corre a face faction, we'll see how this all works out.
YES IT'S DANIEL BRYAN TIME! Wow, this should be weird. 2 divas and 1 guy per team? Really?

Matt: I hate the WWE right now. I mean seriously am pissed off. This is easily the worst Raw of 2011. THIS HAS BEEN TERRIBLE. I know our readers don't want to read this, but they know how high I've been on the product lately and this Raw has upset me on so many levels. It's aggravating. Hopefully they finish strong here with Punk v. Barrett. Everything with Punk has been great and I don't expect this to be any different. If Punk can carry Cena then he can carry Barrett. Let's just do a quick recap. We had the BS Royal Rumble hype match. Dud. We had the tag match. That was solid even though Mark Henry was more out of place than Earl Boykins in the NBA. Then we have the diva yawn fest that had a couple good mat wrestling spots. Then we have the HORRENDOUS DISGUSTING HORRIFIC GHASTLY Champion v. Champion segment. Then we have Daniel Bryan and Ted DiBiase have one good 30 second exchange and the match is over. The Punk segments have been the saving grace of this episode and even those weren't all that great. Just so disappointed. But here we go with the main event. Here is my prediction. Tarver helps Punk win tonight. DANIEL BRYAN IS A PLAYER!!!!!! THIS IS EPIC!

Jason: NOOOOO!!!! NOOOO DANIEL BRYAN!!! No more Bellas!!! No more!!! VEGAN!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. YESSS. LOVE THIS, LOVE THIS! Daniel Bryan, yes, yes, yes.

Matt: I am so confused right now. I could have sworn that's what Michael Cole said before we went to commercial…

Matt: Michael Cole " What a wild and awesome Raw this has been" Um, no except for that last Daniel Bryan segment. So are they going to bury the new Nexus here? Seems like what will happen with the rest of the nonsense that has gone on tonight. This is a terrible rest hold right here. The "tag champs" are seriously like a metaphor for the mess that is the WWE tag team division. Thank god. Nexus goes over. Santino? Koslov? Funny? Yes. Tag Champ material? HELL NO.

Matt: Why can't Harris be a champ? Ryan and McGuilicuty can be champs? Is that what you are trying to say?

Jason: Yes, those two should be Tag Champs. Harris isn't that good. That's obvious. He's the weakest link in New Nexus.

Matt: Husky may not be in the best shape, but I'm not ready to call him the weakest link in the ring. Otunga and Ryan both have A LOT to be desired in terms of wrestling ability and I'm sure in a Kayfabe free interview they would both admit that.

Matt: В While I usually have answers for you…I have NO CLUE. В This stand off between the two factions in the ring is pretty awesome. В And the New Nexus has been barred from ringside by John Cena…a very unpopular move with the Nexus.

Jason: And there the Corre get ejected. I thought this was going to happen. Nice stuff from Cena here.

Matt: В There will definitely be someone new joining one of these factions…Michael Tarver. В You just wait. В Cena is completely abusing his power as a ref…wonderful stuff right there. В Well all this Cena non-sense is not helping this be a good match. В Cena has just disqualified both team for foul language since this is a PG show. В Fail. В Here comes an email.

Jason: NOW this is stupid. ON CUE. Cena just summed up Raw perfectly, "What did we do this for?"

Matt: Well I did not see any of what just happened coming. But in a Raw this stupid I kinda should have expected it. Worst Raw in a LONG TIME. Just never recovered. I'm in disbelief at how bad that was. I'm distraught. I actually think that Raw made me less excited for the Royal Rumble.

I can't finish this. Jason, please sign us off.

Jason: So CM Punk got assaulted at a house show this weekend.
Matt: Yeah that is the word on the street…he generates heat better than anyone, gotta love it. В Time for RAW!
Jason: Are they really starting Raw with an MLK tribute? Really? В Then have Cena open the show?
Matt: Not to sound insensitive but which black wrestler would you like to come out to get that reaction. I would also like to point out the mother thinks you are supposed to say YOU CAN SEE ME! Haven't had the heart to tell her she's wrong…
Jason: Hey MLK to honor you here's the white rapper guy! He was good last week with Punk, let's see how Cena can do "this year".
Matt: I get it Jason, you hate Cena. В Who cares who comes out. В You were complaining earlier today that John Adams gets no respect and now you are complaining that John Cena comes out to start Raw after an MLK tribute? Pick a side dude.
Jason: I was saying that they shouldn't have opened with an MLK tribute at all. It's wrestling, come on. In other news, I liked Cena's little promo. And I really like the Miz here.
Matt: It seems like they are letting Cena be his old self. В It also seems to me that they may be reverting back to the attitude type style.
Jason: WAIT! FORTY!!
Matt: WHAT!?!?!?!?! FORTY?!?!?!?!? В HELL YES.
Jason: Our drinking game just went from bush league to Main Event.
Matt: It's gonna get completely out of hand, and that is never a bad thing!
Jason: Might just have to sleep in Jersey!
Matt: Cena/Miz, Cena/Punk, both have good chemistry with each other.
Jason: Did that just happen? Did Cena quote Rocky, kinda well, but I still hate him.
Matt: Yes it did, Cena got the memo that you hated him and is going to goto great lengths to impress you. Michael Cole just called Cena "The Ricky Gervais of the WWE."
Jason: Wait a tick…did John Cena, not watch the show two weeks ago? He just told Miz he didn't have a match, but two weeks ago him and John Morrison put on a clinic! However I did like him addressing the crowd with "Hey it's PG!"
Matt: Thought the same thing Jason, that match was phenomenal. В I think he was making a point that last week he shied away from a fight he pretty much asked for.
Jason: LOVE how Miz refuses to say he's awesome until he beats Orton. It's great.
Matt: He may never say it again!

Jason: If Miz doesn't headline WrestleMania I'll be baffled.
Matt: PUNK TIME! В They need a new name.
Jason: How about the Flock!?

Matt: Look at Punk's right eye!
Jason: Those scars look tough. They give him a little more edge.
Matt: As if he didn't have enough edge as it is. So glad to see Punk get a true main event push. What do you think Punk/Cena for the title at Wrestlemania somehow?
Jason: Would be difficult for that to happen, but you know what…I would love it. Nice save by the Tag Team Champs there.
Matt: And here comes the first appearance of the Raw general manager…his announcement is that Nexus is barred from ringside and that if they interfere they will lose their spot in the Royal Rumble. В Great stipulation. В Ziggler/Orton later tonight, should be a goody.
Jason: What is the point of something like this? Honestly. Will be a good match, sure, but it doesn't further anything, unless Miz sticks his nose in.
Matt: I am inclined to agree. I believe they are pushing Ziggler. He is in the main event picture on Smackdown. He is running the same kind of program as Miz did. Drop his title, get injected in the title picture and take over. Fighting Randy Orton can only help get him over as a legitimate title contender. Wonderful, here are the Uso's.
Jason: Wait, the Tag Champs don't even get an entrance…wow.
Matt: Jason, they were already out there. В Remember? They made the save for Cena?
Jason: True, wait…these are Rikishi's kids?
Matt: Yes. Tamina is Snuka's daughter though. The WWE tag team division is ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC. It's upsetting.
Jason: They let their clutch veteran tag teams go. The two dudes who didn't make Nexus should take over the Tag Division.
Matt: THESE TAG TEAM TITLE MATCHES ARE FUCKING PISSING ME OFF. HOW'S THAT FOR PG! This is absolute BS. Santino/Kozlov is bad enough, but one of the only teams that can challenge them they squash and make them look weak as hell. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC. The writing? The booking? Just horrendous. I could go on about this for a long long time.
Jason: Punk and Nexus. I'm telling you he's this generation's Raven if he wants to be. DANIEL BRYAN and the BELLA's. OH MY.
Matt: BRYAN vs. MORRISON…HELL YES. В I think Punk is going to have someone else join Nexus tonight…just a feeling.
Jason: I have that feeling too. OR he'll announce he's the GM.
Matt: I wish they had footage of the fan attacking him, that would further help put over how much he is hated by the "WWE Universe"
Jason: They just had a commercial for Gilette's Young Gun class and there tagline was "My ready will kick your ready's butt", isn't that just Nike's "my better's better then your better" campaign all over again?
Matt: I suppose so, but it's different words, so most people won't put the two together…time for Bryan v. Morrison, I hope they give this match some time!
Jason: The Bellas are amazing. I would love if they let him use "Final Countdown" in the WWE.
Matt: I would mark out like Ultimate Warrior was coming out of the curtains. В Here we go!
Jason: This is going to be a great match, both guys have semi similar styles. Amazing set of moves there.
Matt: DON'T YOU FUCKING GOTO COMMERCIAL!!!! DAMN IT!!! DAMN IT TO HELL!!!!! Get me the producer on the phone right now. I have some choice words for him. Well we got a wonderful opening to the match that got a huge ovation out of the crowd, glad to see the crowd appreciating good wrestling.
Jason: Matt, they are in Arkansas, the fans are probably just loaded on �shine. I agree though, I would love to see these two go toe to toe in a feud, that would be awesome!
Matt: Not as awesome as Punk/Bryan. В I just read that match will be happening on the upcoming WWE tour…I am incredibly jealous. В And we are back from commercial FINALLY. В I am hoping that since they took an early commercial break that this match will be a bit lengthy.
Jason: Cass, here at Cheap-Heat.com, reported on that tour earlier. I would love to see Punk/Bryan. This match is very good so far, even if it is on the short side here. Whoa….these spots are very un-WWE.
Matt: I absolutely love the chain wrestling. В Very abrupt ending with Morrison using the Shining Wizard.
Jason: Explain to me why you just crushed the US Champion?
Matt: They didn't crush the U.S. Champion, they had a good competitive match and they put over Morrison's new, non aerial finisher.
Jason: Good call Matt.
Matt: If they want Morrison as a main event guy they need to keep pumping him up. Bryan is the US Champion because they don't intend to put him in the main event yet. So when the guy that's going for the top title is fighting him, he's rarely going to go over him.
Jason: So here's my guess…we are going to see amazing tag team esque moves on Sheamus from Morrison and Bryan in the Rumble.
Matt: That's a fair assumption considering what we just saw.
Jason: Alright, the Domino's commercials are killing me. They are sooo stupid.
Matt: As a marketing major I actually find them absolutely brilliant. They are taking the common misconceptions of their brand and putting them to rest.
Jason: I liked the first few, and I like that they are trying to make themselves a better company through their consumers input, but I don't need all of them. They have the tomato one, the kitchen one, the pizza picture one. BTW – I voted in the Mashable Awards.
Matt: OH THAT IS GONNA BE COMEDIC GOLD! The Bellas fighting tooth and nail over Daniel Bryan, can't wait for that next week. Here comes the most annoying voice in wrestling, and one of the best, if not the best women in the business at drawing heat, Vicky Guerrero. Just listen that crowd, incredible.
Jason: A lot of people not like what I'm going to say, but if my husband died…I would not want to continue in that business. I think it's terrible for Eddie's memory.
Matt: A see a trend in this week's blog, I think I'm gonna disagree with you about everything this week. I think it's what he'd want. It's the business he loved and she is great at it. If it's tough on anyone it's Vicky cause she has to live it every day of her life and think of him.
Jason: They don't have to throw her in romantic angles though, that's where I get angry. Eddie was my boy, always will. VIVA LA RACA!
Matt: Jason, It's not like they are forcing her. It is completely up to her. She's done it multiple times. It's a show, an act, fake, not real.
Jason: I know…but it still doesn't sit right with me. Huge part of the reason I soured on the WWE actually. But match time, here we go.
Matt: Love me some first match ever action. Let's see if Dolph can make Randy look good. I really can't stand Orton's gimmick.
Jason: Listen, here's what you should've done with Orton. Stuck with the Legend Killer gimmick. That was AMAZING. Him taking out Foley? Epic.
Matt: While it was great…they ran out of legends to take out.
Jason: So? You still call him the Legend Killer. Then it's him just commanding respect. "Hey Miz, you think you're special? I'm taken out legends, you're nothing." That type of thing.
Matt: I don't see that working, but that's just my opinion.
Jason: It's better then the fucking Viper shit. I miss the Evolution thing and his turn on said group.
Matt: How the hell is this guy a 7-time champion. That's a travesty.
Jason: Orton? It's because the WWE has NO STABILITY anymore.
Matt: They need champions to hold the belt longer to help make the belt mean more. В It changes hands way way too often.
Jason: I will always hate that they don't do title changes on Raw or Smackdown. I've always hated that, you might get one title change every year on ONE of those shows.
Matt: You need PPV's to mean something, if you start having the title change on Raw it will mean even less. Keeping it as a huge rare surprise is A-ok with me. I am thrilled with this match. I love Dolph, the guy can freakin wrestle. He is actually making Orton look like he can….you know what, nevermind, I'm not even going to finish that sentence, I hate Randy Orton matches.
Jason: The Miz is such a good heel champion. Send the lackey to do your job.
Matt: Miz is out there too dude.
Jason: Now here's the thing, Orton better sell this beatdown. Ought oh…TABLE! It's amazing how this crowd just thinks Cena will save all. He's the new Rock, and that depresses me.
Mat: Cena is Superman. He's nothing like the Rock. Rock was an amazing heel with The Corporation, against Foley, against Austin, against everybody. Cena has never ever been a heel. They are uncomparable.
Jason: Really? Five Knuckle Shuffle – People's Elbow, useless move that just entertains the crowd. The F-U – Rock Bottom, mark out hardcore finisher. They are both HUGE draws. The Rock was also a face for a while broheim. The crowd ate right out his hand, similar to Cena. BTW – Miz HAD to say he was awesome…couldn't let it alone!
Matt: Cena is most comparable to Hulk Hogan pre-1997 or whenever the NWO angle began.
Jason: Kevin Butler, from the PS3 commercial is hysterical. В Just thought everyone should know.
Matt: Hey Jason! I FINALLY AGREE!

Jason: So what's going to happen with this "faith" thing? Does Punk just take his medicine knowing that he'll up root Cena at the Royal Rumble?
Matt: This is so much like the Flock angle with Raven it's frightening.
Jason: Haven't I been saying that!!??
Matt: Absolutely, you are right on with it.
Jason: Maryse in a singles match? Is it clothing optional? Yo, where is Beth Phoneix?
Matt: No idea, Jason. В Not sure what the deal is with her. В Hey, what about a debut by Awesome Kong tonight to help Punk win?
Jason: I was thinking about that, but I don't know…that doesn't have the impact I think his attitude was leaning towards.
Matt: Yeah, I think you are right. В I do think she will be part of that group and will help Punk win the rumble.
Jason: I think Nexus needs all the titles it can get at some point.
Matt: I agree. Punk as champion, one of the other 3 as U.S. champ, the other 2 as tag champs and the women's champ. Complete domination. Although the way this angle is going, I don't think that's where they are going with it. Well that may be the most abrupt commercial i've ever seen. Who will answer DiBiase's over the top rope challenge? Mark Henry?
Jason: His dad? Although Henry is a great guess.
Matt: Wow. Snickers peanut butter squares sound foodgasmic.
Jason: I agree Matt.
Matt: Well there's my "I called it" quota for the week. Well that achieved nothing. This is unbelievably stupid.
Jason: *yawn* This is terrible. Mark Henry defeating Sheamus? Is this real life?
Matt: At first I thought this was dumb, but I like the Royal Rumble hype. It's my favorite PPV every year. It's almost time for Punk/Cena…YES.
Jason: I would love to be a celebrity so I could do a Make A Wish visit. Always thought that shit was amazing. Good compassion. Good to see WWE doing some good.
Matt: Completely agree, I wish I was someone that could bring that kind of happiness to a random person I've never met. Here we have Derrick Bateman, who is Daniel Bryan's NXT rookie. He is a riot.
Jason: This is slightly funny, but not in a good way, more in like a WHAT THE FUCK kinda way.
Matt: That was so bizarre, I don't even know what to say. I love this Royal Rumble hype video with all the statistics, I AM SO PUMPED for it.
Jason: A nice stat package indeed. Champion vs. Champion next week, aweeeesome.
Matt: HAHAHAHA Cena just took that guys phone and goes call ya back and then goes on to throw it in the guys dinner, then tried his absolute hardest not to laugh, that was fantastic.
Jason: It was pretty good. I was thinking the same thing. MAIN EVENT time. Hahahah, King just called Nexus "his flock."
Matt: Well I guess we are not the only ones that have the flock in mind. I can't wait to see what Punk's surprise is.
Jason: And here we go.
Matt: Good match so far. Going to the final commercial break or what I hope better be the final break. We still have 10+ minutes of show left, I'm very interested to see how it's used.
Jason: What if Cena joins Nexus?
Matt: Again? They just did that storyline. I don't think that's what will happen here.
Jason: Triple H as the GM?
Matt: I don't think that would make much sense honestly. But who knows. Punk is carrying Cena to a very solid match thus far.
Jason: Punk's already a three time World Champion. Jesus.
Matt: He won it twice using the Money in the Bank briefcase. В He had a pretty ridiculous rise in terms of speed from bottom to top, just awesome. WOW. В I have never seen the GTS countered into an STF, great spot. Not when Punk does it, not when Kenta does it, love it.
Jason: Agreed, looked good. Both guys having a good match. Few minutes left here…we getting a surprise? The delayed Cena kickouts are such a nice detail in this match.
Matt: I don't need a surprise, this match being this good is surprise enough for me. That is not the Anaconda Vice. Well it's not what it originally was.
Jason: This match could be selling me on Cena.
Matt: Please don't stop! Please don't stop! I'm loving a match John Cena is in…wow. The crowd now with dueling "Let's go Cena!" and "CM PUNK" chants. I love this crowd tonight!
Jason: Folks in the South know their wrestling. Or is it wrasslin', down there? Finish is coming here. KICK OUT!!! KICK OUT!!! Wow.
Matt: SO GLAD YOU WERE WRONG.
Jason: I thought it was Batista at first, who is this dude?
Matt: THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. В Punk taking the shot to win the match.
Jason: So savvy. Punk is a riot, he's lost his mind at this point. But who is this dude?
Matt: I have no idea who that is BUT HE IS FREAKIN HUGE.
Jason: The crowd hates him. Hates him, I want them to throw trash now.
Matt: Jason, I really cannot say it enough, I haven't been this excited for Raw on a weekly basis since the turn of the century. Punk is amazing. This angle is amazing. That match was phenomenal. Another great Raw.
Jason: True story buddy. Well we're done for this week!!
Matt: Until next time, quoth the punk, nevermore.

Freaking Ron "the Truth" Killings and his dumb "What's Up" song. Rapping your own entrance music is so 1999 E-fed. And he's going against Alberto Del Rio, didn't this match happen last week? Is it going to be as dull as that one? Where Del Rio squashed Truth?

Matt: I really can't stand this R-Truth/Del Rio feud. R-truth has no ring psychology at ALL. Del Rio is in another league, oh well. HAHAHAHA Ricardo Rodriguez with the helper to get Del Rio the win by countout. I like the QUE PASA a lot better than the WHAT'S UP. HAHA…That was phenomenal.

Jason: Matt so nice of you to join us! I really like Del Rio. I think he can handle the mic very well and he's got a good character going on.

Matt: I AGREE WITH DEL RIO!!! COUNTRY MUSIC SUCKS!!! В Sorry Jason, had to get my ritual monday night sushi dinner!

Jason: Well I hope you got Crab and Tuna Pizza cause that stuff is delicious. And country music is awesome!! Question for you: at what point does this ring announcer turn on Del Rio?

Matt: Never, no reason to. В They fit perfectly together and provide some comedy which is always welcome.

Jason: I hate seeing food commercials on this late. They just make me more and more hungry.

Matt: It's the fast food ones that kill me. OMG LEIGHTON MEESTER IN A HORROR FILM! That's gonna be awesome, she's scary as hell.

Matt: That's the exact same thing. It's fine. ATTENTION READERS: THIS IS AN ATTITUDE ERA BLOG. DEAL WITH IT. Can someone please explain this Miz/King feud?

Jason: It does sound a bit like CM Punk, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is more to this angle. Did you just hear him pause after, "not to mention" only to have a crowd member yell, "a dork".

Matt: When did we start having commentator feuds? It's pretty stupid. Let's focus on wrestling please.

Matt: Well anything is better than the trash TNA is spouting. I watched Genesis last night and it was absolutely GARBAGE. Listen folks. I'm not some WWE mark who hates TNA. In fact, I love most of the wrestlers on the TNA roster, but the booking IS SO FREAKING HORRIBLE. I digress. Time for more PUNK and Nexus. He's gonna beat down Husky Harris with a Belt.

Matt: THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!! CM PUNK CM PUNK CM PUNK. В Punk is singlehandedly making WWE amazing. В There is no possible way this is PG.

Jason: CM Punk vs. Cena should be amazing. I feel like Punk will kill Cena's grandmother at this point. BTW – Sonic commercial is on.

Matt: It's all about the Fritos Chili Cheese Wrap when it comes to Sonic. Nice run by the Oregon kicker for a 2 point conversion. DANIEL BRYAN TIME!!!! YES! Bryan and Mark Henry?!?! WTF

Matt: Maryse is lookin extra fine tonight. I don't understand this match. OK. I understand that Bryan is supposed to be feuding with Tyson Kidd but where does DiBiase and Mark Henry come into the picture? WHAT THE HELL DID THAT MATCH ACCOMPLISH?!?!?! ILL TELL YOU, NOTHING!!! NOTHING AT ALL!!!!!!! INCREDIBLY DUMB. So frustrating. Daniel Bryan's talent is being wasted. I can't say I am surprised, but he proved he can wrestle and get the crowd behind him. What did he do to deserve this?

Matt: No idea what that's about, but we're gonna find out pretty soon. I think all of the CM Punk/Nexus stuff will lead to a Punk victory in the Royal Rumble match.

Jason: I don't know. Del Rio is a hot pick too. But I could see Punk using Nexus to get his shot at the title. Is someone going to get fed to Show as part of their initiation?

Matt: Well it's not Wade Barrett, but here comes Punk and the Nexus and Punk is sending Otunga to take on the Big Show.

Jason: I really could care less about this. It's so nonsensical. Big Show might be the sloppiest worker in the entire wrestling industry.

Matt: It's all part of Punk's masterplan Jason. Big Show? A sloppy worker? I totally disagree. He's a monster. He plays the part perfectly.

Jason: Yeah and his move set suffers. Scoop Slam. Knockout Punch. Chokeslam. None of them crisp or clean. I like him but his moves aren't amazing. Also, Gabriel has been very hesitant about these initiations. I'm thinking that he might be out of Nexus.

Matt: Dude he's 7 foot and like 400 pounds. You want him to do a moonsault? C'mon dude.

Jason: I want him to do whatever it takes. Even if it means throwing a prosthetic leg on and limping to the ring

Matt: Burger King commercials are ok because all they do is make me not want to eat. В BK is disgusting.

Jason: I like Burger King but not as much as Taco Bell. New rule, every time Parkour is mentioned on Raw, take a shot.

Matt: Well when it's Morrison/Sheamus, you are gonna hear it about 15 times, and that would get ugly.

Matt: Are you feeling Ok Jason? В They have been doing nothing but pushing him!!! Did you see how strong they made him against the WWE champion last week? В What more of a push could you possibly ask for dude, I mean seriously.

Jason: 1. I am totally sick. 2. He doesn't have a title, he's fighting Conan O' Brien this week and in two months he'll be midcard fodder.

Matt: Well I have disagreed with you in the past blogs, but this week is going to set a new record. Sheamus was the champion for a long time and if you remember he "took out" Triple H. He also won King of the Ring. You do not need a title to be considered a proper push. You need to make the guy a believable champion before you give him the belt. He is not going to fight the same guy each week, especially the WWE Champion, for the title. You have to earn title shots, you don't just get one each week. When you have a guy look incredibly strong against the champion that's the way you get him legitimately into the main event picture.

Jason: Let's hope you're right and we see a lot more of Morrison in the Main Event/uppercard.

Matt: I'm not really a fast food fan anymore. With the exception of Chick-fil-a. And we are back from commercial with Sheamus in complete control in the match. I can never believe how white Sheamus is, it's amazing.

Jason: He really is super white. Morrison is putting up a good show here. I don't get the deal with Sheamus though? What makes him so good, why are they pushing him?

Matt: He is technically sound. He has a great moveset. He is a great power wrestler. He is a great heel. He makes everyone he's in the ring with look better. Should I continue?

Jason: I don't know, I just don't get it. He's not bad, but maybe I'm just jaded against the guys I saw growing up. Chris Jericho, Eddie Gurrero, Chris Benoit, even a young Kurt Angle.

Matt: SHINING WIZARD FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!! Dude get out of the past. Wrestling has changed. This is the new crop. Is it as good as the old crop? No, definitely not. The problem is that WWE no longer really lets the guys do the crazy things those guys used to do. It's understandable feelings you have. To see those kind of things you have ROH, Chikara, PWG, DGUSA, Evolve. WWE is more about entertainment. They still put on good matches every now and then, but that's not their main focus.

Jason: Well put Matthew, CM Punk with Kendo Sticks. YESSS!! Does this scene kind of remind you of Joker in Dark Knight?

Matt: Once again I am going to bring up the Summer of Punk in ROH in 2005. The basis of that angle was that Punk was ROH's savoir. He won the ROH title and then was signed to the WWE. He vowed he would be leaving for the WWE with the title in hand. I have never seen so much heat generated by a single wrestler in my life. Punk is a natural heel. This last backstage segment was very interesting. There is a lot more to this angle than meets the eye. I'm excited to see it unfold.

Jason: I think Punk uses the remaining Nexus guys to position himself in the Rumble perfectly. But I am very interested in his "ultimate sacrifice" tonight.

Matt: I've been in that bar in Nashville!!!! Good times. Great Jerry Lawler doing the induction, boooooorrrrrrriiiiinnnnnnggggg. Look at Lawler's forehead. GROSS.

Matt: Hard to argue with that. В Not my all time favorite, but he definitely gave me some of my favorite childhood wrestling memories.

Jason: His acceptance speech will be FANTASTIC. Great that he got to go out kind of his own terms.

Matt: Losing to Undertaker was perfect. В It was one of the best Wrestlemania matches of all time.

Jason: There is supposed to be a new DX DVD in the works, so I'm interested to see that. "Welcome Back," chant for Shawn Michaels. And Del Rio is out…this could get interesting. Del Rio such a good heel in training.

Matt: Shawn Michaels, been out in the ring for 5 minutes now and has yet to say a single word.

Jason: My guess is that Del Rio does good in the Royal Rumble and ends up facing off with Michaels at �Mania. Or Michaels backs someone going against Del Rio.

Matt: Dude. Michaels IS DONE. It was a one time thing. He's not wrestling any matches and he's not getting involved with any ongoing storylines.

Jason: I can hope can't I. Can't you just let me play like a mark for ONE NIGHT!!??

Matt: OMG HBK vs. TRIPLE H vs. UNDERTAKER at MANIA!!! GONNA BE A SLOBBERKNOCKER!! /kayfabe /fiction /fairytale land. Hey, I love kayfabe, but the dude is done. I loved his last match so much that I don't want him to wrestle another one.

Jason: The ENTIRE Schorr family loves kayfabe. Your father talked about it the other day, during my first time meeting him.

Matt: The wrestling business is all about Kayfabe. Serena got fired from WWE. Reason? She broke Kayfabe in public. It's what makes the business run. When kayfabe is broken all sorts of problems arise.

Jason: Agreed, but it also provides some of the best moments in the business. Diesel, Razor Ramon, Triple H, Shawn Michaels all hugging in the ring. Or how about The New Radicals saying goodbye in WCW?

Matt: The Clique. В Yeah, that is one of the most well known breaks of kayfabe ever.

Jason: I'm telling you he's new Raven. And Nexus is the new Flock. Is the crowd chanting "Jump"?

Jason: I have a feeling this is getting turned on the fans. That's what I would have him do. "You people would like that, goes to show that while you hate Nexus you like the pain we inflict/cause." Something like that. AND BOOM called it.

Jason: He's a cunning man that's for sure. He thinks outside the box. The WWE should just let him run wild. I want him to terroize everyone on the Raw roster. A Daniel Bryan vs. CM Punk match needs to happen as well.

Jason: I love how indirectly the WWE is taking shots at frats this entire episode of Raw.

Matt: It's a good message. I got initiated into a fraternity without being beaten up, made to eat disgusting things, without having to do disgusting things.

Jason: That's no fun Matthew!! So does Nexus go on a recruiting mission, or do they roll simply with four of them? Oh God, here's freaking Cena.

Jason: It's true, Cena when he's allowed to be a prankster/jokester is probably the best. I hate all the gang land shit. It's stupid. CM Sucks? That's stupid. I hope Punk makes him bleed, badly.

Jason: He was so good when he was Prototype. Wow, I'm seeing something from Cena here. Can they just have him be a heel who hates everyone? I feel that's a better direction for him.

Matt: From a pure wrestling standpoint it would be the perfect idea. For business however, not so much. That Cena Promo was fantastic. I'm not a Cena mark, I just call it how I see it.

Jason: The end of that promo starting with "As sure as I wear purple and the sun rises in the morning…" was amazing. It's a shame next week he'll be doing more stuff for the kids. Can't blame him, but not for me.

Matt: I don't think so. I think that now that Linda is no longer running for senate that WWE is going to start leaning back toward the Attitude era. They are gonna let Cena go and him and Punk will have a war for the ages.

Jason: It's a shame that Cena isn't aligned with anyone really. Punk abducting a cousin, brother, mother, sister, would be epic.

Matt: He could abduct his father who runs a wrestling promotion in New England. I think that would actually work out well, Cena's father understands the business.

Matt: Something like that would work really well. We are going to have to wait until next week to see where they are taking the storyline. Well it's time for our main event. Lawler/Orton v. Riley/Miz. Boring if you ask me, but let's see how it goes.

Jason: I want to see announcers behind the announce table. Not actively involved with the World Champion in a storyline that is really going no where.

Matt: I gotta admit, I'm very impressed with Lawler thus far. He has been putting on entertaining matches Jason.

Jason: Entertaining sure, but there is NO ONE else that could be in that program? Not a John Morrison? Not a Sheamus?

Matt: Neither of those guys makes any sense at all. Lawler always talks down to Miz. Lawler talks down to Cole, who has some sort of alliance with Miz. Miz attacks Lawler. Lawler and Miz have an amazing ladder match. Orton has a match coming up with Miz at Royal Rumble so it continues the storyline. I think it's just fine in terms of storyline. Miz is upset he's not getting respect. COMMERCIAL!!??!?!? WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jason: Sucks, why continue this show anymore. Some of us have Arrested Devlopement to watch!!

Matt: And re-watch…

….but seriously, why take a break at 11:05. В The show is supposed to be over at 11:05. Just ridiculous. В All the fans of Royal Pains must be furious….all 25 of them.

Matt: В Pretty solid match so far. В Orton will get a hot tag and clean house leading to the finish.

Matt: Usually I'm not that good…but hey, I've been watching this stuff for SO long. God I am SO TIRED of Randy Orton's "gimmick."

Matt: Orton and Lawler get the win in a storyline mover. В We have Cena v. Punk as the main event next week, it does not get much better than that, I cannot wait. В Get better soon JASON!

CM Punk, John Cena, Del Rio and more!!

Jason: Michael Cole to inform us that John Cena will probably not be on the show tonight. Thank God! We also have the WWE Championship match, Miz vs. John Morrison: Falls Count Anywhere. And it's going to lead off the show.
Matt: C'mon J, the guy got legit injured working an unnecessary cage match. Besides, I wanted more of the Punk v. Cena war to evolve.
Jason: Another reason why I never liked Cena, he had far too many unnecessary injuries. Not his fault, but still something I CANNOT stand. Jerry "the King" Lawler will not be at ringside tonight, due to the Miz's attack on him last week. Some good storylines are brewing. Josh Matthews will join Cole on commentary. Match started out on the ramp. Alex Riley can get involved, this is going to be a mess of a match. Last week, Morrison beat Riley to have the luxury to name his stipulation. High flying move off the W to the side of the entrance ramp. Nothing special, but they treat it like such. Smart move by Miz to get the match back in the ring. Top rope dropkick was pretty nice, but so far nothing amazing in the first match of the year. The commentary from Matthews and Cole is a little lacking. Alex Riley breaking up a sure fire three count. Great thing about these stipulations they allow a contender to look strong while losing on some weird technicality.
Matt: Alex Riley just got what was coming to him. В I like the sell by Riley and the ref calling for medical attention while Miz looks on in scared disbelief.
Jason: Second time Cole has mentioned Parkour. Lame.
Matt: PARKOUR!!! All I can think of when I hear that word now is the opening of the office when they did it. В We are back to action.
Jason: Likewise Matt. Big Back Body Drop there, love how the announcers no longer use move names btw.
Matt: Yeah, that drives me absolutely nuts, the moves have a name, USE IT. В Great shining wizard on Riley by Morrison, love it.
Jason: Shining Wizard? Michale Cole called it "knee to the face". Is it me or does the Miz kinda look like Daniel Bryan a little bit, or vice versea? Just a little.
Matt: I suppose I can see that. The announcers really don't need to say this could be it on every pinfall.
Jason: It's like playing Smackdown for Playstation. And not the newer, cool looking ones, it's like the commentary on Smackdown 1.
Matt: Was that Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain with Brock Lesnar on the cover? В Morrison is being made into a very believable contender, well booked match.
Jason: Yepp, I'm guessing Riley factors into the finish somehow. That way Morrison doesn't lose face. But no Matt it wasn't. Here Comes the Pain was later in the franchise, an amazing game none the less. Smackdown, was just called Smackdown, then there was Smackdown 2: Know Your Role. Alright, that last move off the top rope was great. Starship Pain…wow.
Matt: This is one of the best matches I've seen on Raw in a LONG LONG time. Thank you Miz and Morrison, thank you.
Jason: I didn't think this match was that good in the beginning stages, but it's certainly cranked up the intensity.
Matt: WHAT A SPOT!!!! В STARSHIP PAIN TO THE OUTSIDE THROUGH A TABLE AND KICKS OUT!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!
Jason: Oh Wow, a clean win. Kind of a bad ending, but still a very enjoyable match.
Matt: I disagree Jason, that was a perfect ending. В It made Morrison look incredibly strong. В Morrison withstood everything Miz threw at him. В He took one hit after another and kept on going. В he took every bump, and wow, what a match. В Match of the year so far!!!

Jason: What a start to the new year!! Btw – is Miz's finisher really a Reverse Russian Legsweep?
Matt: I agree that it's pretty lame, but it's effective because no one else uses the move in the WWE and therefore can be sold as a believable finisher. WWE is really lacking main event talent, they need to go grab back Kurt Angle or push some new guys cause Smackdown especially is getting stale. VINCE CARTER in the crowd! Love it.
Jason: You would, Matt.

Matt's Rating: 4 stars, A very very very good match, especially for a match on raw. Really excited to see a rematch.
Jason's Rating: 4 stars. Amazing match.

Matt: WHO THE HELL IS THIS GUY?!?!?!?
Jason: He looks like the Kenny Mayne of WWE.
Matt: I've never seen this backstage dude in my life.
Jason: So when does Alex Riley flip on the Miz, lose a feud with Miz and fade back into the midcard?
Matt: Good question, not until after Wrestlemania I think. And it's time for some T&A. (not TNA, they suck)
Jason: TEST?!!! AND ALBERT?!!!
Matt: Poor taste Jason, Test is dead. В Albert is a tag team champion in New Japan Pro Wrestling under the name Giant Bernard.
Jason: Wow, so I failed that test. See what I did there.
Matt: Wow, just wow.
Jason: Maryse is in the ring, I would do dirty things to her.
Matt: Most straight men would.
Jason: Why aren't both Bella's out there? Was that a semi decent spot in a Women's match? Well that answers my question…as Nikki Bella came out, instead of Brie.
Matt: Well there you have it, a typical WWE Women's match, short and full of fail.
Jason: Not even a boobie popping out.
Matt: There has not been a boobie out in the WWE since The Kat flashed the crown during a PPV in like 2003.

Matt's Rating: 0 Stars. dud.
Jason's Rating: 0 Stars. It didn’t even further the Melina/Natalia feud.

Jason: BULLSHIT! Lita boobie slip on Raw back when her and Edge had "sex" in the ring.
Matt: Jason, I stand corrected, you are absolutely right, that whole thing still doesn't make sense…were they just trying to piss off Matt Hardy?
Jason: I mean I guess so. The Hardys what a fall from grace.
Matt: TNA is still somehow pushing Jeff Hardy…I DON'T GET IT. Here comes another pathetic match from the WWE tag team division. Uso's vs. the tag champs The Italian/Russian Connection. Yeah, I just made that up, big whoop, wanna fight about it?
Jason: Who so? U-SO! If there was ever a team that needed a name it's the Uso's.
Matt: Just call them the Wild Samoans II.
Jason: Royal Rumble at the end of the month folks. Start getting your drinking pants on. Matt, the Royal Rumble drinking game? Care to explain.
Matt: Well it's quite a simple game folks. It will work playing it from 5-10 people, any less, you will get way too drunk. Let's just say we have 6 people playing. You take the announced wrestlers for the royal rumble and have a draft. If there are only 25 participants announced you can have the choice of selecting an unannounced opponent during the draft. When any of your wrestlers get eliminated you have to take a shot. If your wrestler is last man standing, everyone else takes a shot and you get the rest of the bottle as a prize. It's pretty wonderful.
Jason: You can bet we will be playing that this year. So plan accordingly. BTW – I don't think I've seen a worse tag match in a long while. Kozloff got caught in the ropes, the match was terribly sloppy. The Uso's will be released in a few months. This Cobra move is terrible. Jesus Christ.
Matt: There's not much I can say about that match, just awful.

Matt's Rating: Negative 2 stars. It would have only been negative 1 star but Kozlov forgot how to fall over the top rope.
Jason's Rating: Zero Stars. The worst rating possible.

Jason: Punk Time, and Matt has wet panties. =)
Matt: Wet panties is only when Daniel Bryan is in the ring, but Punk is definitely second. haha
Jason: Punk is so good.
Matt: He is an absolute heat magnet, he knows how to make people hate him.
Jason: CM Punk vs. Jericho in Jericho's Prime…imagine that.
Matt: Daniel Bryan or CM Punk vs. Benoit or Angle…now that, that would make me do more than wet my panties. В Although only Angle is possible obviously.
Jason: Second mention of a dead wrestler so far!
Matt: Here comes Wade Barrett. В This should be great.
Jason: So Wade vs. Punk while Cena is out?
Matt: Sounds like a good plan…I'm just really enjoying the fact that they are letting Punk become the superstar that he is.
Jason: Did you see that smile on Punk's face?
Matt: Punk is absolutely in cahoots with the GM.
Jason: Yeah, this is a really good way to not destroy the Cena/Punk feud, but build a nice little "stop gap" feud. You know Wade is going to lose this. I wish he would win though, seeing Punk being an errand boy, would be great.
Matt: WADE BARRETT TO SMACKDOWN. COUNT ON IT. I cannot comprehend why they would take one of the only stars of Smackdown and have him on Raw. If he's on Raw, then would do we need to watch Smackdown to see him. Stupid.
Jason: It's the WWE, they don't understand logic. Is this K-Quick? Oh, it's Ron the Truth Killings!
Matt: I cannot stand him. Seriously, he's just awful. What's up? YOU SUCK! If Del Rio loses this match, it will actually win the award for worst booking on this episode of Raw.
Jason: Much needed commericial break, my brain was frying. So stupid.
Matt: Glad we're on the same page here.
Jason: During this commerical break I would just like to inform you Matt that I have Sour Cream and Onion chips!
Matt: If they are Herr's, I am extremely jealous.
Jason: You gotta make Herr's, your's Matt. Of course they are Herr's!
Matt: Good ring psychology from Del Rio here. He is working on R-truth's arm so he can get an instant tap out using his cross-arm breaker.
Jason: Good ring pysch is something that you normally don't see that much of.
Matt: This is true for WWE and TNA but not ROH, Chikara, ProWresting Noah, etc.
Jason: Agreed. Is this even a match right now?
Matt: This is Del Rio putting on a wrestling clinic. В Match over. В R-truth will tap out. В Right on cue. В Del Rio is far superior in talent.

Matt's Rating: I will give it 2.5 stars just because of Del Rio using sound ring psychology and getting a clean win to further show his main event status.
Jason's Rating: Two stars. Decent, but still it's R-Truth vs. a much more talented Del Rio.

Jason: I bet Del Rio goes far in the Rumble.
Matt: I would not be surprised if he won it. It's quite obvious WWE wants to push him and push him hard.
Jason: Those chips died a fast, painless death. All gone.
Matt: I'm eating a clementine. Not quite as good as Herr's Sour Cream and Onion Chips.
Jason: They are the offical chip of Cheap-Heat.
Matt: Is that right? В Does that mean since we write for Cheap-Heat we get free chips?
Jason: I don't know, I just made that up. I wish we did. Does William Regal know that Wade has stolen his voice?
Matt: Not all Brits sound alike. Punk is so convincing, it's awesome.
Jason: Punk is amazing. I love it. Randy Orton…you aren't going to win this.
Matt: Here's this mystery backstage announcer again, what the hell?! So if we think Barrett is going to lose and you think Orton is going to lose, are you saying Seamus is going to win?
Jason: Well after hearing that promo, I think Orton and the Miz will face off. Miz will still have the title at Wrestlemania, make NO MISTAKE.
Matt: WWE is getting more media attention than they have in a long time with Miz as champ, he will absolutely remain champ until it doesn't make sense for him to be, which will be a long time down the road. WWE has had a bad habit of constantly changing champions. The way you make a belt mean something is have people hold it for longer periods of time so when the champion loses, it's a huge deal.
Jason: I keep forgetting Michaels is gone. He was one of my favorites.
Matt: Yeah I liked him ever since the days he was in the Rockers with Marty Janetty. Janetty getting thrown through the glass in Brutus the Barber Beefcakes' barber shop was the start of a Hall of Fame career for Michaels and a life of misery for Janetty.
Jason: I don't even want this match to go on. I just want to get to the winner.
Matt: So go 2 sleep. В Orton wins with an RKO out of nowhere. В Punk comes out and has nexus beat down Barett and the show ends. В There ya go. That is what is going to happen buddy.
Jason: Let's see. Time for me to switch some laundry and pee!
Matt: I just realized something. В No Daniel Bryan…WTF!!!
Jason: Yeah, that doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? Leave off your champion, to let Del Rio come destroy Truth? Just thought of a good spot there, someone should've charged Orton, went over the top and slid through the door.
Matt: That would have been a funny abrupt end to the show. I just checked out what happened with Daniel Bryan. He fought alongside Mark Henry in a tag team match taped before Raw for WWE Superstars and he took the fall after a neck breaker from Tyson Kidd….WHAT THE FUCK. I'll save the rant for later…..Orton hung on top of that cage for a long time right there.
Jason: Comment from my brother, a non wrestling fan, about Sheamus — Conan O'Brien wrestles?
Matt: Can you imagine Conan with that hair style?
Jason: No and yes, all at the same time. This match has over stayed it's welcome, let's wrap it up folks.
Matt: I can't wait to refer back to my prediction. Pretty solid actually as far as cage matches go. Good cage match psychology, wearing opponents down and attempting escapes. Good triple threat psychology with everyone helping each other where it is needed.
Jason: Wade, what are ya doing? Good spot there, with Wade coming off the turnbuckle instead of going for the finish. Orton is a good wrestler.
Matt: Orton with an Angle Slam! В Then a DDT! В Orton starting to gain steam as he always does late in matches. GO OUT THE DOOR YOU IDIOT!
Jason: Was just going to type that, I don't understand it. PUNK!!
Matt: CALLED IT. Punk is the man. В Get ready for an RKO very soon.
Jason: On cue, Matthew.

Matt's Rating: 2 stars due to predictability.
Jason's Rating: 2.5 stars. Got very boring towards the end.

Matt: Let's revisit my prediction. "Orton wins with an RKO out of nowhere. Punk comes out and has Nexus beat down Barett and the show ends." I was PRETTY DAMN CLOSE. Another fun Raw Blog, Jason.
Jason: You know it, homie. http://www.cheap-heat.com/wrestling/matt-and-js-fantastic-raw-blog-132011/feed/ 2

http://www.cheap-heat.com/blogs/matt-and-js-fantastic-raw-blog-12272010/ http://www.cheap-heat.com/blogs/matt-and-js-fantastic-raw-blog-12272010/#comments Wed, 29 Dec 2010 05:29:36 +0000 nightoutxx Blogs Featured News Results CM Punk John Cena roh wwe http://www.cheap-heat.com/?p=1154 Matt and J break down Raw.

Jason: I haven't watched WWE in forever. Literally, forever. I can't remember the last time I watched an episode. So let's go. And of course Cena will be out to start the show.
Matt: In that case, this is going to be more fun than I thought.
Jason: King vs. the Miz tonight, oh God.
Matt: The Miz will win again. I've been watching the WWE/F for so long that I can fully predict stroylines. It's fun and pathetic.
Jason: Cena isn't good on the mic at all. This is terrible.
Matt: You are out of your mind. В CENA IS ONLY GOOD ON THE MIC.
Jason: So you're saying everyone is WORSE then him? Good Lord.
Matt: Miz and Punk are the only ones that are better…and right on cue, here is Punk.
Jason: CM Punk is the man. With short hair he looks completely different.
Matt: I've been seeing CM Punk since 2005, he's the best. The "Summer of Punk" in ROH was one of the best storylines i've ever seen.
Jason: What's the deal with the diet soda? Is this really all over that?
Matt: CM Punk in real life is Straight Edge. В He always celebrates with Pepsi as opposed to alcohol, has a Pepsi tattoo.
Jason: And his finisher was the Pepsi Plunge at one time, right?
Matt: That is correct Jason. He had to drop the move when he joined the WWE because a top rope pedigree would have down-played Triple H's finisher. He instead switched to the Go2Sleep, a move borrowed from KENTA of Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan, one of the best wrestlers in the world.
Jason: Cena is terrible. This is painful to watch.
Matt: C'mon if you were a kid you would be EATING THIS UP.
Jason: Yeah, but I'm not.
Matt: Which is why we both love CM PUNK

Jason: CM Punk is saying what we are all thinking.
Matt: В THIS FEUD IS GOING TO BE AMAZING!!!
Jason: Are they letting Cena go off on his own, or are they writing it for him?
Matt: This is definitely more risque than he has been recently, I like it.
Jason: Punk is such a good worker. I want him to come back to ROH so I can see him for like 20 bucks.
Matt: I'm calling it right now. CM PUNK=GM/LEADER OF NEXUS.
Jason: Wouldn't be bad. Is Daniel Bryan still in Nexus? I'm confused.
Matt: He was in Nexus for 1 raw. В Was fired for the tie incident. Rehired and surprised the world at Summerslam, I yelled like a girl, and is now the reigning U.S. Champion.
Jason: You mean "was fired".
Matt: Nah, that firing was legit.
Jason: This John Cena commercial В makes me not want to use a razor ever again.
Matt: Jason, you are beautifully playing into the stereotypical Cena hater. В Women and Children love him, men 18-36 loathe him.
Jason: Maryse, yes please. Should've asked for her for Christmas.
Matt: No bra, nice!
Jason: Santino, they've ruined him. He was so funny/good earlier on his career.
Matt: He still is pure gold. В Bushwacker of the 21st century.
Jason: Michael Cole is one of my favorite announcers. They will probably have Maryse and Ted break up and Cole just alluded to that with a throw away line about the divas in the back hearing arguments. That's the stuff a good announcer should do.
Matt: DiBiase and Maryse are dunzo.
Jason: What is the Cobra?
Matt: The dumbest move in wrestling. Kenny Omega's Haduken is a close 2nd.
Jason: Morrison isn't bad. He seems like a good worker. MNM right?
Matt: MNM was Morrison and Joey Mercury, until Mercury had his face destroyed by a ladder.
Jason: And Melina, she is hot.
Matt: Yes, yes she is. В This match should be interesting. В Good stipulation.
Jason: 100% agree. I think Morrison will win here.
Matt: I hope so. I think it'll be a dusty finish with Miz inadvertently costing Riley the match.
Jason: DUSTY RHODES!
Matt: Um, Yes?
Jason: A dusty finish comes from The American Dream.
Matt: The problem I have with the WWE is the wrestling. I'm a big fan of good wrestling. Not many of these guys display the skills they are taught when they learn to wrestle, it's pretty disheartening. Just a lot of sloppy big moves, it's all about technical wrestling to me.
Jason: All the good technical wrestling minds, all the good chain wrestlers are gone though. I think once Benoit died, that's when it headed down hill.
Matt: BRYAN DANIELSON, CM PUNK, WILLIAM REGAL all beg to differ. В Even DOLPH ZIGGLER. В They can do it given the chance. В Ted DiBiase, Jr. was even a great technical wrestler in Japan before the WWE dumbed down his move-set. SHINING WIZARD!!! Nice win for Morrison. Stip is Falls Count Anywhere on Raw next week.
Jason: That's a waste. We all know the title won't change hands on Raw!
Matt: Probably true. В A little dissension between Riley and Miz…a little foreshadowing. В DANIEL BRYAN. В TWINS. YES.
Jason: Bella Twins, yes and yes. Jackson Andrews is a pussy. Big Boss Man could take him.
Matt: Big Daddy Cool Diesel would DESTROY HIM. Randy Orton's schtick is getting OLD OLD OLD.
Jason: Faroq and Bradshaw could even destroy him. Randy Orton still a legend killer and all that jazz?
Matt: Yup, it's just overdone, but it's all he can do. Close up of Randy in HD…woo. The girls LOVE him, I just don't get it.
Jason: Did you get that commercial for "Fairly Legal"? Cause I did and it was painful.
Matt: Most commercials, sans during the super bowl, are painful, which is why I'm watching football during them.
Jason: Good man. Mark Henry, Sexual Chocolate!
Matt: He's brutal. Tyson Kidd's hair is AWFUL, it drives me nuts.
Jason: It's beyond awful it looks like someone took pubes and put it on his dome.I don't know who any of these people are. This dude's a Hart?
Matt: He trained with the Hart's I believe but is not related.
Jason: This match is almost unwatchable. It's like watching a few retarded kids play Smackdown on Playstation 3.
Matt: Agreed Jason. В Pure, unadulterated crap.
Jason: How much do they not like Tyson Kidd to have him lose to Mark Henry?
Matt: This is so dumb. You have a guy approach Bryan and say he's coming for the title, then you have him squashed by Mark Henry? Hilariously bad writing.
Jason: Beyond bad, who's running this show Eric Bishoff?
Matt: No, he's busy completely destryong TNA. One of the head Raw writers is actually Freddie Prinze, Jr.
Jason: She's All That, Summer Catch, I Know What You Did Last Summer, naturally he's got the background for this gig.
Matt: Absolutely. I'd love to know what stuff he actually has a hand in.
Jason: Doesn't he have a hand in Sara Michelle Gellar? Or was it Jennifer Love Hewitt?
Matt: Probably both.
Jason: Alright, so why does Alex Riley have a fucking briefcase? Did he win Money in the Bank too?
Matt: I saw this matchup in Philly for the title in a TLC match and it was actually pretty entertaining. I don't understand the breifcase. Something he can use to cost Miz the match?
Jason: I hate when someone goes through the list of all the innovators and then says they aren't as good as him.
Matt: Miz is such a good heel, I love it.
Jason: Oh Miz is a great heel. Great.
Matt: Listen to that heat, it's a beautiful thing. Did he just say all you white people? Was that racist? I'm so confused by that line. I just rewound my DVR and listened to it 5 times and still can't figure out how it could possibly make sense to say there. Why is King not wearing wrestling gear, this is strange.
Jason: His bags got lost or some shit. The WWE is so sloppy. Matthews/Cole is a good commentating team. В Cole is so knowledgeable as a commentator. He does a great job of moving storylines along with his commentating.
Matt: Cole sucks. В /kayfabe. (Kayfabe was the unsaid rule that the wrestlers should stay in character during the show and in public appearences in order to maintain a feeling of reality (albeit suspended) among the fans). В In other news, this match may be more painful than Henry/Kidd.
Jason: Morrison! Think he cashes in here?
Matt: 3 DROPKICKS BY JERRY LAWLER!!!! YES!!!! I went nuts for that…this is getting good. Well that was the fastest count out I've ever seen.
Jason: FIVE…SIX…SEVEN…EIGHTNINETEN.
Matt: Good storyline mover.
Jason: I like this CM Punk thing here. I hope your prediction is right.
Matt: CM Punk as a heel is about as good as it gets in wrestling.
Jason: Natalya is hot, but a weird voice.
Matt: She's actually a HART…but yes, she sounds like Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle. (deep voice)
Jason: Gail Kim, yes please.
Matt: Yes, yes, yes. Although, if I had to pick one diva? Michelle McCool ALL THE WAY. Beautiful and Smart, can't beat that.
Jason: Back in the day I loved Lita and Stephanie McMahon, many a session spent with the two of them.
Matt: I'm gonna pretend I didn't read that. Very impressive finisher by Melina. This may actually be an entertaining women's feud. I am getting more and more excited about this Punk announcement.
Jason: Me too buddy, me too.
Matt: ALREADY IN PROGRESS!!!! THIS IS BULLCRAP! I WATCH this show for Daniel Bryan and Punk. Ah, well I guess I can't be too furious. This is gonna be a glorified squash. Right on cue. I hate the WWE sometimes. Please be something good from the GM. What is going on?!?!?!
Jason: Miz has snapped. Think I just heard an f-bomb.
Matt: He's completely lost his mind. Fantastic meltdown by Miz tonight.
Jason: Sheamus vs. Orton. Did Matthews just compare Orton to Voldermort?
Matt: I believe he did. I hope this goes quick. We need time for the Punk/Cena stuff. These guys have fought too many times in the recent future, it's just hard to get excited about it.
Jason: Who's whiter? Sheamus or a bed sheet?
Matt: He's gotta be albino, right? Just end this match, not even the crowd cares anymore, and they are obsessed with Orton.
Jason: This is way too long. SUPER PLEX!
Matt: Just freakin RKO him already and get this over with. They have said "this could be it" about 20 times, and not a single one of them was believable. Thank god, it's over. Orton is just not entertaining in the ring, he does the same stuff over and over, John Cena disease.
Jason: He may be worse then Cena, but he's better on the mic.
Matt: YOU'RE DELUSIONAL. ORTON BETTER THAN CENA ON THE MIC?!?!?!? I'm revoking your wrestling writing privileges.
Jason: He's more entertaining. I can't stand Cena.
Matt: Dude, just because you can't stand Cena doesn't mean he's bad on the mic. Orton is SO SO SO BAD.
Jason: It does. Cena tries to make his lame jokes, they're painful. At least Orton is semi serious. It's an old act, but at least you know what you're getting. Cena just throws too much at everyone.
Matt: As a huge indie wrestling fan, I naturally HATE John Cena's in-ring work. I've seen the guy wrestle, and he can, but WWE doesn't want that. I respect that John Cena is as big to kids right now as Hogan was to me as a kid. Orton is stale, boring, and awful on the mic. Cena is topical and sure he tries to hard to make jokes but at least he doesn't say the SAME EXACT THING every time. There's a reason why they bill Randy Orton as �THE SILENT KILLER."
Jason: Here's what we waited for.
Matt: I CALLED IT!!!!!! HERE WE GO!!! CM PUNK + NEXUS.
Jason: A truce, sounds pretty gay to me.
Matt: Where is this going…
Jason: Nexus going to town here.
Matt: Where is Punk. He's taking over for Barrett, what's the deal?
Jason: I don't know what's going on here, this is all very confusing.
Matt: WHAT THE HELL. OK here's PUNK…I WANT ANSWERS!!! GO TO SLEEP! Speak Punk.
Jason: OH MY GAWD STEEL CHAIR. What is this?!?!
Matt: Do I know my wrestling or what?!?! THIS FEUD IS GOING TO BE SIMPLY AMAZING. HELL YES.
Jason: Well that's it for this one, Matt.
Matt: That was fun, until next week folks.

Excitement!!

Daizee Haze and Sara Del Rey have been involved in a long standing rivalry in Ring of Honor. They are out to get blood and prove which pair of women is best. Daizee is constantly commenting on how she needs more competition and how Del Rey is no match. She aligned herself with Awesome Kong and made a challenge to Del Rey to find a partner that she thinks can give them a fair match. Sara Del Rey went out and found Serena Deeb, or who WWE fan's would recognize more as Serena from CM Punk's Straight Edge Society. A match that is sure to impress fans who may still not believe in women's wrestling.

Matt's Pick: Sara Del Rey & Serena Deeb will get the job done as Del Rey matches up well with Awesome Kong and Serena can out muscle Daizee.

Jason's Pick: Doesn't Awesome Kong weigh like 400 pounds? I'm picking Daizee Haze and Awesome Kong, because I don't think anyone can lift Kong or out eat her.

Tag Team Challenge Match
The All-Night Express of of “Pretty Boy Pitbull” Kenny King & “Addicted to Love” Rhett Titus v. Kyle O’Reilly & Adam Cole

The All-Night Express (ANX) has been on a hot streak of late and are in line for a shot for the World Tag Team championships. A match against O'Reilly and Cole was supposed to happen at a show last month but last minute changes were made and the match was changed. The ANX has defeated this team once before but Cole and O'Reilly are out for revenge. Kyle O'Reilly, in my opinion is a future star in this company. Adam Cole is not far behind. Can they score this huge victory and begin their legacy at their first final battle?

Matt's Pick: I love love love the team of Cole and O'Reilly in this matchup and I think these teams match up well, but I think that the experience of the ANX will help them prevail here.

Jason's Pick: Why wouldn't the guys who are going to get the title shot win? ANX.

TJ Perkins is returning to Ring of Honor for his first weekend of shows as TJ Perkins. В He has wrestled in ROH previously as Puma in a good showing against Nigel McGuinness. В Colt Cabana has been an ROH mainstay since the beginning with a small stint as the jewish sterotype, Scotty Goldman, on WWE television. В TJ Perkins needs to impress in order to gain a more full time role with the company.

Jason's Pick: Colt Cabana can easily take a loss and not lose any steam. So I'll go Perkins as well.

Challenge Match
“The Notorious 187″ Homicide v. ROH World Television Champion “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels

Well, what can be said about this match? Two legends on the Independent circuit. Two guys that enjoyed lengthy successful, runs in TNA, which saw each hold titles there. Due to the new and HORRIFIC direction of TNA they are continuously letting go of the guys that can actually wrestle and it's ROH and its fans gain. Christopher Daniels is fresh off winning the TV Title and Homicide is out to prove he's still got it.

Matt's Pick: Christopher Daniels. If he can beat Eddie Edwards, one of the youngest and most promising guys on the roster, he should be able to handle Homicide.

Jason's Pick: The Fallen Angel is one of my favorite wrestlers ever. I'm picking him.

Six Man Tag Team Grudge Match
Jay, Mark & “Papa” Mike Briscoe v. ROH World Tag Team Champions The Kings of Wrestling: “That Young Knock Out Kid” Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli & Shane Hagadorn

The rivalry between The Briscoes and Kings of Wrestling is very well documented, lasting more than 2 years now. Now there is a new twist. Jay and Mark's father, Mike, has gotten involved, coming to the aide of his sons. Shane Hagadorn, the Kings of Wrestling's valet, has attacked Mike Briscoe and has reignited this rivalry in a whole new way. Will Hagadorn, an ex-ROH student or old Mike Briscoe wind up being the X-Factor in this match?

Matt's Pick: I think the youth and talent of the Kings of Wrestling will be too much for the Briscoe family to overcome.

This match was originally supposed to be Eddie Edwards v. Kenny Omega, but Omega had a training accident and dislocated his ankle. Sonjay Dutt is his replacment. Once a big player in the X-Division in TNA he has now found his way around the independents as a journeyman. Edwards can't be happy about the loss of his TV title and Dutt may wind up being a punching bag.

Jason's Pick: Dutt doesn't stand a chance. His name sounds like an Indian cuisine.

Ring of Honor World Title Match
Roderick Strong (C) w/ Truth Martini v. Davey Richards

New World Champion Roderick Strong still has a lot of defending of his title to go before the fans of Ring of Honor accept him as a worthy champion. В Davey Richards is a broken and destroyed man. В Wrestling has taken his marriage. В Wrestling has taken his life over. В It really is all he has left. В Richards will be fighting like a man possessed. В The American Wolf is out for BLOOD and GOLD. В Roddy has a lot of help in his corner with the devious Truth Martini and the House of Truth. Will the extra man-power prove to be the difference?

Matt's Pick: The only way Richards loses this match is if there is outside interference and I feel like that there almost definitely will be. Roderick Strong retains in an UNclean finish.

Jason's Pick: The finish will be dirtier then Courtney Love's vag. Strong will retain, but Davey will have beef to lead to another bout. Said.

FIGHT WITHOUT HONOR: Generico’s Mask v. Steen’s Career
El Generico v. “Mr. Wrestling” Kevin Steen

Time to talk about the main event. WOW. That's really all I can say. One of the best built up, most intense rivalries in the history of wrestling. I know that sounds like a ridiculous hyperbole, but folks, this is as good as wrestling gets. Two guys that were previously partners and ROH tag team champions are now the most hated enemies in ROH history and as I said maybe in wrestling history. Kevin Steen turned on Generico to start this blood thirsty feud. Things went up a notch when Steen unmasked El Generico and stole his mask. Generico now dons an all black mask as opposed to his normal Red, White, and Black. Steen has become a mad man possessed with destroying El Generico. Steen even put the mask up for sale on EBAY. His promos have gotten progressively more and more deranged and his friend Steve Corino can no longer contain him. This match is Steen's Career vs. the permanent unmasking of El Generico. Ring of Honor, at the last minute, decided to unsanction this match because they did not want to be associated with something so violent. (Gotta love kayfabe!) Either way this match goes, there will be a winner and the loser will have a very steep price to pay.

Matt's Pick: I have not looked forward to a match this much in a long long time. I don't want to see Steen go. I also do not want El Generico's personality forever changed with an unmasking. I just don't know what I want to see happen. This is going to be one for the ages and I'll go with El Generico, standing up to the Bully Steen and ending his career with ROH. If this is the outcome, hopefully we won't see Juan Steen as a masked wrestler at the next ROH show.

Jason's Pick: You have to ask yourself, storyline wise, who has more to lose. El Generico losing would be hard to swallow, because without his mask he's just not El Generico. His gimmick is what makes him awesome. Hello, BRAIN BUSTAAAAAH anyone? Steen is great, but come on ROH obviously won't get rid of him. He'll lose this match, but he'll be back. Unless he's planning on taking some time off.

Well there you have it folks. We'll see which one of us picks em better. Should be another great show for the best alternative to mainstream wrestling!

Ramblings

by Jason M. Carfagno and Matthew Schorr

Like a Good Neighbor, State Farm is there…with Cliff Lee. In case you were living under a rock, the Philadelphia Phillies made the largest splash in the free agency pool late last night. Nearly one year to the day that they traded Cliff Lee, the one time ace of their pitching staff, the Philadelphia Phillies reacquired the Cy Young winner. It's not necessarily the signing it's self that is causing a splash, but the mannerism in which the Phillies did so. While Lee is nice, I really wanted the girl from 3B.

The winter meetings were full of positioning as the Yankees and the Rangers were poised to go back and forth with one another in a bidding war over the services of Lee. The Yankees offered Lee, $150 million dollars over seven years. The Rangers offered Lee, $160 million dollars over six years, with an option to return for a seventh. However it was Lee's heart, not his wallet that went into making this decision. Always a big hit in Philadelphia, since coming over in a mid-season trade with the Indians, Lee chose to resign with the Phillies. The same Phillies that already have Roy Halladay, the 2010 Cy Young winner, Cole Hamels, the 2008 World Series MVP, and Roy Oswalt, the 2005 NLCS MVP. Add in Lee and you get fireworks.

The best thing about this signing of course is that the Yankees just got slapped hard in the mouth. They have been chasing Cliff Lee for what seems like forever. They lost him to the Phillies in the wee hours of the morning. Add in to that the Boston Red Sox, whom I hate more then life, got their grubby, Clam Chowdah covered hands on Adrian Gonzalez, which the Yankees thought would happen. Whoa whoa whoa, let's leave the nasty comments for fans of New York teams only, they are the only ones that love to hate on Philadelphia. Back to business.

The acquisition of the dominant right hander has some experts already conjecturing that this Phillies rotation may be one of the greatest of all time. В Drawing its closest comparison to the hall of fame triad of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz in 1997 in Atlanta. В The Phillies however raise them one better, offering a fourth starter that could rival most teams ace. One thing to note about these four pitchers, Halladay, Hamels, Oswalt, and Lee, is that the team now boasts a two righty, two lefty rotation. В This rotation will most likely see Lee wind up as the 2nd starter as the right hander, Halladay, would be the number one. В It is scary that a guy that would be 28-30 teams ace will be the number two starter for this incredible Phillies rotation.

Let's not kid ourselves though and say this solves all the Phillies problems. Their problem in the post season these past three wonderful years, hasn't really been pitching. It's been hitting that has evaded them. Letting Jayson Werth walk in free agency was a bitter pill to swallow. Lee's signing certainly eases that. Werth was the only player last year to be both injury free and productive. While his numbers with runners in scoring position, .186, and .139 with runners in scoring postion with two outs, weren't that good, his offensive production will be missed. The Phillies need to discover if Dominic Brown is ready to be their right fielder of the future, and now, presumably with their hands tied financially, due to the Lee signing, their options are limited.

In NON PHILADELPHIA news Brett Favre's massive ego stroke is over. His streak of 297 consecutive starts has come to an end. On one hand it's a shame because off what Favre USED TO BE, but on the other hand it's a shame because of what Favre IS. What he is, is an egotistical maniac who has hijacked the game of football and the organizations of the Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets and of course, the Green Bay Packers. Favre decided a long time ago that the game was secondary and him satisfying himself was priority Number One.

Now now Jason, we are talking about one of the greatest athletes we will ever see in our lifetime. В A guy who went out and played the roughest sport in America for 297 straight games. В He had breaks, he had bruises, he had tears, he had strains, he had sprains, he had stitches, he had deaths in his immediately family, and the guy just kept coming out and playing and winning. В Did he stick around too long? В Sure he did. В Should that tarnish what was arguably the best NFL career of all time? В Absolutely not. Moving on…

In WWE news, Mike "The Miz" Mizanin is the new WWE champion. Schorr take this lead. Well in a shock move by ex-reality star Miz, he cashed in what is called "the money in the bank," a guaranteed title shot at any time, at any place. He defeated an already beaten and battered Randy Orton and became the 102nd WWE champion. News of his victory reached many media outlets, outlets that almost never cover the world of professional wrestling. From Yahoo! to Sportscenter to MTV, the championship win by the Miz got something for the WWE that they have desperately been craving, a star bigger than the wrestling world. They came close to this with Triple H and Shawn Michaels (who has just announced a forthcoming De-Generation X DVD), but even they are no comparison to the media attention garnered by Steve Austin and The Rock (Dwayne Johnson). The Miz elicits feelings of anger, resentment, and jealously from the WWE fanbase and is so good at it that after his title win you could see members of the crowd in the arena crying, distraught, and in disbelief. Yes, I freaking know that wrestling is fake, but so is EVERY SINGLE TELEVISION SHOW. So just let the story unfold and try to enjoy it instead of saying, hey, it's fake, screw this. Yes, reality TV is "real," but that's another rant for another day.

What about football? If the season ended today, this is what our playoff picture would look like:

AFC -
Chiefs [@ Rams, vs. Titans, vs. Raiders] (8-5) host the Jets [@Steelers, @Bears, vs. Bills] (9-4).
Jaguars [@Colts, vs. Redskins, @Texans] (8-5) host the Ravens [vs. Saints, @Browns, vs. Bengals] В (9-4).
The Pats [vs. Packers, @Bills, vs. Dolphins] (11-2) and the Steelers [vs. Jets, vs. Panthers, @Browns] (10-3) get byes.

Chargers [vs. 49ers, @Bengals, @Broncos] В (7-6), Colts [vs. Jags, @Raiders, vs. Titans] (7-6), Dolphins [vs. Bills, vs. Lions, @Pats] В (7-6), and Raiders [vs. Broncos, vs. Colts, @Chiefs] (6-7) all still in the hunt.

NFC -
Eagles (9-4) [@Giants, vs. Vikings, vs. Cowboys] host Giants [vs. Eagles (home finale), @Packers, @Redskins] (9-4).
Rams [vs. Chiefs, vs. 49ers, @Seahawks] (6-7) В host the Saints [@Ravens, @Falcons, vs. Bucs] (10-3).
Falcons [@Seahawks, vs. Saints, vs. Panthers] (11-2) В and the Bears [@Vikings, vs. Jets, @Packers] (9-4) get a first round bye.

Tampa Bay (8-5) [vs. Lions, vs. Seahawks, @Saints] , Green Bay [@Pats, vs. Giants, vs. Bears] В (8-5), Seattle [vs. Falcons, @Bucs, vs. Rams] (6-7), San Fran [@Chargers, @Rams, vs. Cardinals] (5-8), all still in the hunt.

Lots of important match ups this week, headlined by the divisional clash between the Giants and Eagles. First place in the division is at stake, and huge leap forward to clinching a playoff berth. Another huge matchup is a battle between AFC superpowers the Jets and the Steelers, although a case could be made the Jets are nothing but pretenders. A win for the Steelers in this game could put the Jets in big trouble. How about Jacksonville vs. Indy this week? Peyton Manning's Colts have been marred by injuries and are hanging by a thread. Will this scrappy Jacksonville squad be able to put the final nail in the Colts coffin or will Peyton keep the season alive? Well, if there's one thing I've learned from the last 5 or so years in the NFL, it's don't ever count out Peyton Manning.

It's fascinating how many teams are substandard this year. It's parity at its best. Look at a team like the Seahawks, there is a chance that they could make the playoffs. When was the last time you remember them winning a game? How about the Rams with their 6-7 record, hosting a playoff game against the Saints and their 10-3 record? How is that even allowed! Well Jason, that is a very valid point that many fans are infuriated over to the point they want to change the playoff structure. People want the 6 best teams to make the playoffs instead of the 4 division leaders and 2 wild cards. Personally, I think that the current system is just fine, unlike the BCS, but I digress. That's a rant for a different day, Matt! I could write a book more vulgar than Tucker Max's new fictional/non-fiction creation, "Assholes Finish First," when it comes to the BCS. Anyways, look at what the Cardinals did two years ago, with the NFC West having a similar season. They made it to the Super Bowl and came painfully close to winning. Winning your division should count for something and that is the argument. Agreed, it's just so frustrating. Imagine being a Saints player or Saints fan! Yeah, that is a tough situation, but I'm sure Saints fans will be thrilled for the season when their division is weak enough that a poor record gets you into the playoffs.

We have to talk about this, because we had a long discussion on Sunday about it. I think the Patriots are pretenders. They are a young team, that has gotten extremely lucky. Tom Brady is the QB, and BelliDICK is the coach, but the rest of the team has question marks surrounding it. That defense is very young and looks lost at times.

Jason. YOU ARE CRAZY! The Patriots are legitimate. They got rid of the cancer known as Randy Moss and they look as dominating as I've ever seen them. Bellidick, ha, good one. The guy may be more hated than Cliff Lee is in New York right now, but the guy does something…this thing called WINNING.

Funny, I thought it was this thing called "video tapping", but I could be wrong. Either way, I think that the Ravens or the Steelers, or even the Jets take down the Pats.

Do you truly believe that even if he was video taping that he could make decisions that could effect the game that quickly? В Is he deep blue the chess super computer or something?

No, the video gate scandal proved the depths he goes to win, which can be a double edged sword. What is so impressive about the Patriots though? Explain it to me!? I don't get it.

The thing that is so impressive about the Patriots is the amount of weapons they have. They run at you with a bruiser like Ben-Jarvis Green-Ellis (the law firm) and then can switch things up with a shifty quick guy, Tiny Danny Woodhead. Aside from the running game, Brady has a cornucopia of receivers at his disposal: Tate, Gronkowski, Herandez, Branch, Welker, Green-Ellis, and Woodhead. Some fast deep threat guys. Some guys with delayed routs in case the line breaks down. They literally have every tool imaginable to disembowel a defense. Which brings me to defense. Do they have the best defense in the league? No, no they don't. Do they have a defense that does enough to hold opponents under the 31 points a game the offense scores? Yes, they only let up 21 points a game. This team is like the Colts team that won the Super Bowl in 2007, a dominating offense, and a defense that can get them by.

If you wanna talk about dominating offenses, be prepared for the Philadelphia Eagles. Their offense is so quick it's like playing Madden 2004, all over again. 91 yard strikes to DeSean Jackson, almost at will.

Better video game football player….Bo Jackson Tecmo Super Bowl or Michael Vick Madden 2004? lListen I just played Madden 2004, with a friend of mine. We did dueling Vicks and I don't think I've ever seen a more dominant performance by a player in an athletic button pushing contest. I mean they CHANGED THE GAME the next year cause Vick was too good. Madden devlopers introduced defensive improvements in Madden 2005. Bo Jackson could score on EVERY TOUCH, but I am inclined to agree with you due to the poor defensive engine in Tecmo Super Bowl.

Okay back to the Eagles. While their offense is operating on an entirely different level right now, the defense has holes all over it. Perhaps I'm over analyzing since I'm a fan of the Eagles, but without Asante Samuel, I'm scared of any team in the playoffs. Bigger then Samuel is the loss of Stewart Bradley, middle linebacker. The problems the Eagles had last year in their playoff games, came from covering tight ends. Hopefully Bradley is back in coverage before the playoffs start, or we're sunk.

Predictions really quick. Super Bowl winner is all. I say that the Atlanta Falcons win this years Super Bowl. I would like to say the Eagles but I'm not trying to be a homer. Jason, what's wrong with being a homer? I try to stay in a very objective point of view when it comes to sports, but when you love you team, you love your team. While I believe the Eagles are good enough to win it all, I truly believe the Patriots cannot be stopped. There you have it, folks.

Alright, before we go…little holiday action. Favorite Christmas movie and carol. State your case, Matthew. Well being a Jew, the Christmas movie part of this question is much easier. While I could watch Bad Santa on repeat for a day straight and still laugh at it, no movie has made me love Christmas like Elf did. Favorite carol/song? Ummm…The Hanukkah Song by Adam Sandler! Now for me, it's hard to pick out a Christmas movie that is my favorite. It's tough, but in the end Muppets Christmas Carol wins out. Gonzo and Rizzo the Rat kill me every year. Favorite Christmas carol/song, Last Christmas by Wham. Yeah it's gay, get the hell over it.

Coming to the home stretch here Jason. В While we want this blog to be fun and entertaining, like South Park and Sesame Street and All That, we also want it to be informative. В At the end of each blog we will teach you a phrase in another language as well as give a great recipe to surprise that special someone with.

Today's phase is in the great language of LATIN!

Una lingua numquam satis est. This phrase means, "one language is never enough."

The recipe end is much tastier then the dead language! It's holiday time and you might get invited to a party, unless you're an asshole like the two of us. Feel free to whip up this recipe for any party, and you'll be the talk of the town. Someone might even want to kiss you under the mistletoe. Here's a recipie for a drink called Hot Buttered Rum.

You'll need the following: 1 stick of unsalted butter, softened; 2 cups of light brown sugar; 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon; ½ teaspoons of grated nutmeg, a pinch of ground clove (whatever the hell that is), pinch of salt; a bottle of dark rum, and some boiling water.

In a bowl you'll need to cream together the butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Then refrigerate the mixture until almost firm. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture into 12 small mugs. Pour 3 ounces of rum into each mug (filling each about halfway). Then top with the boiling water, filling the remaining half, stir well and serve.

Holiday hit I tell you!

Well I guess I'll end things with a phrase from a language that is still actually spoken in the world, Japanese.

さようなら (Sayonara) It means goodbye!

See you next week when we talk about the art of name in sports, В the best shows on television, and whatever other random thoughts we argue about during the week. Feel free to submit topics in the comments section of this blog! Or just to tell us we suck, any feedback is good feedback!

http://www.cheap-heat.com/blogs/thescarletletter/ http://www.cheap-heat.com/blogs/thescarletletter/#comments Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:43:46 +0000 nightoutxx Blogs football goodell nfl pittsburgh roethlisberger steelers http://www.cheap-heat.com/?p=547 Read all about the latest in the Big Ben Roethlisberger suspension/sexual assault drama.

Pretty much means the man on the field, the man off the field. The captain should be the face of your team, someone in whom you can trust. Now a day most NFL teams have captains that are voted on by the players. Sure the coach might weigh in, but you can normally tell who the captains will be. Peyton Manning will be a captain every year, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, etc. etc.

It’s almost common place for star Quarterbacks to receive these captain C’s on their jerseys. Makes sense. They are the leader on the field, and their personalities often lead others off the field as well. Which brings us to the current problem: Big Ben Roethlisberger was not named a captain for the Pittsburgh Steelers this year.

Let’s recap: Ben was accused of two sexual assaults. The first one, which occurred at Lake Tahoe, was probably nothing but smoke and mirrors. As his accuser was quoted as wanting a “little Roethlisberger” and wanted to go to Pittsburgh to “bump into” the Steelers Pro Bowl Quaterback. Ultimately Ben wasn’t charged and things were all good. However, the second one, the most recent accusation has some legs to the story.

The accuser was admitted to the hospital with bleeding around her genitals. She apparently told someone in the hospital that a boy “kind of” raped her. And eyewitnesses place her and Roethlisberger in a private hallway at a nightclub. There isn’t physical evidence however, which is why Ben wasn’t charged. Never the less, the Goodell Administration came out with their own charges.

Let me just say this, Roger Goodell is perhaps the worst commissioner I have ever seen. He holds his NFL atheltes to a code of conduct that is simply preplexing. You cannot hold these atheltes, who have been handed everything their entire lives, to a higher standard then you would hold most “normal” people. Athletes such as Ben Roethlisberger, such as Adam “Pacman” Jones, or Michael Vick are all used to getting what they want, when they want. That’s how it was in high school, that’s certainly how it was in college and that’s how it is for the most part in the “real” world. You have to meet them half way.

Should they be out raping people, no. Driving people over with cars, no way. Drowning dogs, attacking animals, no that’s unacceptable. But there is NO EVIDENCE in this Ben Roethlisberger case. For all we know it’s another person with another hand out, wanting a piece of the guy for being a drunken hillbilly frat boy. He shouldn’t be suspended and I’m glad the league came down to four games. It’s insanity to think that there is enough evidence to do this.

Hey Goodell, why don’t you go after the guys using PEDs in the NFL, or the coaches that are using the Injury Report as a smokescreen. Stick your nose into a problem that is there. Athletes will always make mistakes, just like real people make mistakes. They are only human. Humans with the weight and hopes of an entire city on their backs.

But back to this captain thing. Do I think Ben should be a Steelers captain, 100% without a doubt. Big Ben is a great football player and the face and image of the Steelers, especially now that Jerome Bettis is gone. I think the team is sending him a message that he disappointed them, but for Mike Tomlin to say things to indicate that Ben will have to win his job back, or impressive him. I don’t agree with that.

To paraphrase T.O. this is your Quarterback, any hope you have of making the playoffs, or putting together a run at the Championship is through him, one way or another. Dennis Dixion isn’t going to last forever and he isn’t going to be Kordell Stewart, count on that.

When Ben comes back, there had better be a “C” firmly placed on his shoulder. I never thought I, a life long Eagles fan, would say this, but the the guy deserves it.

The man that was deemed "Best in the World" by the fans, the man who would electrify them with moves like the Cattle Mutilation (a bridged, grounded double chickenwing submission hold), the man who would sing along with the crowd. He was a superstar. Note the word was.

“The Final Countdown” isn’t that great of a song. I mean when you hear it, you no doubt sing along and possibly even rock the fist pump like you’re on that terrible MTV show that everyone watches. The song itself though is nothing to write home about, not even in the slightest.

You see I tuned into Raw the other week for the first time in a long time. Because I heard that Daniel Bryan (Danielson’s lame WWE name) had made an appearance on Summerslam the night before. This was all after he got “fired” from the Company. Naturally, I had to listen to both the King and Michael Cole call the match and Cole sat there and berated Danielson.

This is where my problem arises. Danielson is literally “best in the world” according to legions of wrestling marks across the country, probably even the world. And Michael Cole and the E, have decided to call his prior experience work in the “minor leagues” or saying that he was “really big on the Internet”. I don’t know about you but I don’t call Japan the minor leagues, I call them the pros. I don’t call an up and coming company (ROH) that has been compared to ECW, the Internet.

I don’t know who decides these storylines ideas (cough cough Vince cough cough) but they are terrible.

Not only that, but sticking Dragon/Danielson/Bryan in a feud with reality star turned wrestler “The Miz” is a terrible, terrible idea. Miz is decently good on the microphone, but Dragon will be stuck playing second fiddle with the US Title for the better part of his career. At least that’s my guess, because he isn’t a homegrown talent.

Remember that, it’s a rarity that a homegrown talent is rewarded with the biggest prize in the business. There is some room to argue, given the fact that wrestlers like Jericho weren’t exactly “home grown”. But that was before the E decided to buy all it’s competition. Vince and the boys don’t reward you for signing with the E, they reward you for being there from the beginning. And it’s not fair.

Part of it is the fans. They refuse to believe that there is life outside of the WWE. TNA is something else entirely, and quite frankly I’m disappointed where that company is headed, BUT there are other companies out there on the indy scene that have a really good product. Open up your eyes and realize that the WWE has been pulling the wool over your eyes for years now.

Dragon, what happened. You should’ve went to TNA, at least there you would’ve been fun to watch. Paycheck, I can respect that, but you’re better then a US Title feud with the Miz, always remember that.
