Quick notes:
– So HHH’s new initiative is to disregard any pretense we have a supposed brand expansion and feature talents from both shows on RAW (and presumably vice-versa). So, if anybody was hoping for Zack Ryder to get on television, your hopes may very well have been dashed right then and there… seriously, why are they making a big deal out of all this? They make it sound like it’s never been done before… Geniuses, I tell you.
– Of course, after the sleep-inducing HHH promo that put me to sleep, here comes CM Punk to wake me up again. Then Nash shows up (coming out to nWo music for some reason… at least it’s better than that rubbish theme he got in 2003 that sounds like a cover for his old Diesel theme) and Punk hurls. We supposedly get Nash vs Punk for the PPV, but then that gets cancelled and we’re getting HHH vs Punk instead… Wow, Hunter. What a way to blow your wad…
– Honestly, I don’t know which match I was LEAST looking forward to; the one with flimsy Nash or the one with McSon-In-Law. Let’s be honest here; there’s only one master of making people Go To Sleep and in this regard, it ain’t CM Punk, who’s the master of keeping me awake.
– Here’s a legit surprise on my part; the Randy Orton/Dolph Ziggler match was actually enjoyable and gosh darn it, it was even a GOOD match. Pretty clear that Orton benefited from his feud with Christian and Ziggler’s no slouch either. Good match, gents. I enjoyed it.
– John Cena appeared on my TV, so I used this opportunity to take a dump. Quite a long one, too. Unfortunately, I missed the CM Punk/Miz match, which ended with Nash powerbombing Punk for a match that isn’t happening. Genius.
The rest of the show was rather meh, in all honesty. All the luster of watching another Sin Cara botchfest (even if it’s another guy under the mask) has been lost on me, I’m not really feeling this Air Boom tag team (maybe if they called themselves Team Coffee or something), and I tuned out during the Divas match, as usual.
When I tuned back, they were showing boobies. No, seriously. There were boobies. It turns out someone at The Score (the Canadian sports station that airs WWE programming) jumped the gun and started showing the next episode of that Kenny Powers show before realizing they fucked up and tuned back to the sleep-inducing main event tag match. It was towards the tail end of the show where they made the switch from Nash vs Punk to HHH vs Punk… Whatever.
By the way, tonight is SUPER SMACKDOWN for the SUPER NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM! I guess I might post some thoughts on tonight’s show… or something.
