If You Are Pissed Cena Didn't Win the Rumble
and are now upset because you believe he will not be a key player in WrestleMania:
It was probably a more interesting angle storyline wise for Cena to be eliminated by Miz. Clearly this is setting them up for a title match at Mania and that is SUCH a more interesting story than Cena just winning the rumble AGAIN
Another Edge/Christian thought
writtenwrestling:
Del Rio won the Royal Rumble, right? Correct
Del Rio is the one who “sidelined Christian with an injury”, right? Correct
What if Christian returned and was like, “Del Rio, you don’t deserve to get a spot at ‘Mania, and you put me out with an injury, so let’s have a match to determine who gets that ‘Mania spot.” And then Christian won.
I swear, I think because I want to see...
oh except yeah I had been hearing about Awesome Kong in WWE so when they started talking about a “mystery opponent” in the newly decided 4 Diva or whatever match we started getting excited and Eve showing up was maybe the biggest let down of all time, but at least it was just the diva’s division so, I mean, really, who gives a shit, amirite?

Last night I went to my friends John and Corri’s place where he, Corri, Mary, and I all watched the Rumble together.
I haven’t watched a PPV with others in a long time, since last WrestleMania, let alone live (I think Mary watched the Survivor Series with me the day after it happened), so this was a pretty fortunate occurance.
What made this a particularly good pay per view was...

waitwaitwaitwait, this person found a BAR that shows WWE PPVs!?

I’ve got a friend that goes to Buffalo Wild Wings for PPVs so he’s still caught up. Naturally, there are no blast areas anywhere near me.
THE MORE YOU KNOW
amazing.

crithitjace reblogged your photo: God, Cena fans are so mad. block
The bar I was at was sooooo happy when he was eliminated. They started singing “Na na na na hey hey good bye.”
Awesome! Watching a PPV with friends is the most fun you can possibly have. I try to watch WrestleMania with my buddies every year, and it’s so much fun. I hope I can do it this year.

EVERYBODY got some form of reaction when they made their entrance at the PPV, except Tyler Reks.
Go away Tyler Reks.
That might be the only thing everyone agrees on.
False. JTG received ZERO reaction.
Actually I swear I heard a collective groan from the audience

Genuinely Shocked
I logged on to tumblr expecting to… well, what I saw on tumblr when I got home from watching Rumble was the last thing I expected to see. I think most of the people I follow were pumped, satisfied with the result, and just reblogging posts from people who were upset, but who were those people? Was Cena or Orton really something that would have been an interesting conclusion to the Rumble?

Typically, since I watch all PPVs the next day, I have to stay off tumblr for a couple days while I let all the glory of Summerslam, S.Series, etc sink in.
HOWEVER, my good buddy John, the man in charge over at Kickstand Productions (< follow the blog for goodass shows in IL), and I will be soaking in the action and excitement with our lady friends tonight! Enjoy the show, everyone!

iatemykittycat:
Allow me to take this time to say I agree. But I’m going to back it up.
First, I don’t buy into the whole teenaged mind-set that I must love every new heel WWE puts in front of me. That’s why people like Barrett, right? Because he’s somewhat fresh and a heel? Cool.
But what can he do in the ring? A whole lot of nothing, that’s what. It’s sad when Tyler Black, who’s rotting away...

I could easily see Cody Rhodes’ new angle being a favorite of mine.

Mick Foley Day continues
nickelbackisok-deactivated20111 asked: At the end of the Cactus Jack promo, you can hear the ring announcer say the following match is scheduled for 20 minutes. Which reminds me, whatever happened to set time limits for matches in WWE? TV matches rarely seem to go on for more than 10, I guess that's why.
When people who claim to be huge wrestling fans...

Seriously? In this, the 21st century?
I understand not every city or town can have an indy promotion, much less two, which mine has (AAW: All American Wrestling and SHIMMER). I mean, I literally live two miles away from the same building Bryan Danielson, Nigel McGuinness, Tyler Black and others have worked. And while that is awesome, I realize how extremely blessed I am for...

WatchAnother Mick Foley video.
I think I’ll probably continue to just post old Mick Foley clips from these old episodes of Raw, mostly for my own sake, as a personal archive of things Mick Foley/Mankind has done in the WWF/E that are left off DVD collections/not easily found on youtube… so, in the next few days I’ll probably keep posting relatively pointless clips.

After 1997, into 1998
If you mark its start from when Mankind was alluding to burning flesh a couple months before Kane is even mentioned (and Kane was only talked about for months before we even see him debut), I think the Undertaker / Kane saga may be one of the best, if not the best, I’ve ever seen.

Watchone thing I just don’t really do is watch a lot of old video. It’s probably a flaw but I just don’t really do it.
Anyway, I WAS watching The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior on YouTube and there is a segment of that DVD where they go on about how insane his promos were… and that they were! Hilarious, especially Jehrico, Christian, and Edge’s interjections.
