Botchlog: Advocate for Wrestling cont...
botchlog:
(Btw I didn’t proof read that last post, and this computer doesn’t have spellcheck on its browser, so apologies for the inevtiable spelling errors) So yeah, knocked that bad boy out of the park. Although I’m pretty sure I took a knock for liking wrestling. I mean, it’s not like we’re adults or anything. Turns out Dave likes rigged play fighting. Then my lecturer approached me after...

“Every match from Vengeance screwed the good guys in ways I totally approve.”
I have yet to watch Vengeance but this makes me excited without giving too much away.

“Amazing show. Punk wrestled Dean Ambrose, and bell to bell, it was one of the best matches I’ve ever seen, not to mention this year. Ambrose is solid as hell, and definitely ready for the big time. Met Punk, Kaitlyn, Brodus Clay, Johnny Curtis, Ricardo Rodriguez, Mason Ryan, and Jinder Mahal.
Quick note to the Fair to Flair folks. Gave Punk a copy of the first issue, told...

Neither do I.

Gradual Descent of Monday's RAW Ratings →
I’m not really a “ratings guy,” but it’s funny seeing the numbers (and the numbers don’t lie) fall off right from the get go.

Excuse me!?
Mary and I have been noticing something every Monday night…. while I think it’s awesome that Vickie Guerrero has been able to work hard and lose the amount of weight she has, it seems as though she has gone a bit crazy with her outfits.
If you have ever seen the program What Not to Wear, you might get an idea of what Mary and my conversations sound like every Monday. We love Vickie...
Even though the character archetype is really good, Kelly’s execution of it to me comes off at the very best as kitschy at best, good for a laugh. At worst, it actually validates all the things that the Divas of Doom have been saying about her. She gets a few fluke victories, then gets beaten (albeit questionably), which throws her off the deep end. If she could project the kind of...

RE the Mike Quackenbush of CHIKARA quote (via turnbucklezine)
Don’t think anyone will disagree with this quote, but the key here is right there near the end. “If given the chance.” The WWE giving legitimately talented wrestlers a chance? Wahahahahahahahahaha. I mean, yeah, still have to wait and see, but dohohohohohohohoho. I mean I love it. The signing, I love it,...

“Please understand that I really do not have the stomach for much WWE, but I can...”
– Mike Quackenbush of CHIKARA
I mean… this whole Triple H storyline is just a poorly veiled excuse to get Republican Ideals over, right? Like, let’s be honest, Vince probably loves the idea of getting arenas to cheer a boss that shamelessly violates OSHA regulations and then calls his employees pussies for complaining. To me, this isn’t a wrestling angle so much as it is political brainwashing.
I still dug...

“The Intercontinental Championship used to mean something. It mattered, people...”
– Cody Rhodes (WWE.com)
Yes. This is what I love about Rhodes’ title reign.
(via spiderstew)
I think Dolph Ziggler holds the US title with a similar regard. I can’t remember any of the promos off hand, but when he would be a guest at the announce table he did a great job explaining how...

gonna pretend to "analyze" the Henry - Orton story...
I’m glad they got the RKO on Henry out of the way on Smackdown. I was really afraid they were going to pretend that Orton simply could not, no matter what he tried, hit the RKO on Henry, and it would be like that leading into HIAC… like, during Smackdown I was having terrible visions of the announce table all reiterating that Orton hadn’t been able to hit it on Henry and that...

I see this point of view, but at the same time, why does it matter, bruddah?
People think it’s ridiculous and want to laugh about it? So be it. It’s happened to me. There are plenty of other fandoms I laugh at because I personally think they’re ridiculous. I can point out the good and stick up for it, but just like those fandoms I think are ridiculous, no one’s mind is going to be...

pervyrasslincaps:
Also, being “proud” to be a fan of something. I don’t understand how that’s anything to be proud of. It’s certainly nothing to be ashamed of, but it just IS. Being a fan of something isn’t an achievement you have worked for.
It’s just a neutral term for something that you are.
Not proud to just be a rassling fan because this ain’t just fanhood… DIS A...

A preview of WWE's Hell in a Cell →
wrestlespective:
Agreed that it’s killed the Hell in a Cell (though that’s more just overuse, but lack of blood seems to be a big issue with some fans). I’d say the PG era has been good for the hardcore style, though, since those matches are much more rare now, and thus stand out. Orton and Christian at SummerSlam, for instance.
When Orton creamed Rhodes with the ringside bell the other night...
