On October 10th, 2010 – often branded as 10-10-10 – TNA held their annual Bound For Glory PPV and ended it with the heel turn of Jeff Hardy, who also won the TNA World Title and replaced the original title with a shittier version of the Divas belt. What does this have to do with tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW? Absolutely nothing, but I bring this up because there seems to be some unwritten rule where any wrestling show held on October 10th has to have something stupid happen on it.
Case in point… this so-called walkout… which has to be one of the stupidest depictions of a walk-out that I’ve seen.
First off, for anyone wondering… yes, there was a Smackdown show in its usual Friday night timeslot. And yes, there was a roster to work the show… because the logic was that they were walking out on RAW only due to the so-called “unsafe working environment” that HHH’s leadership has caused… even though HHH is the COO of the ENTIRE FUCKING COMPANY and not just MONDAY NIGHT RAW. God damn, even when they’re trying to mock the idea of a walk out, they can’t even do it properly.
And then we get to this fucking RAW show… which, despite everyone walking out on Triple H including wrestlers, divas, staff, and crew… we somehow have a set build and the arena prepped for another episode of RAW, we still have cameramen filming the backstage area, we have a couple guys standing around… and we have production people nice enough to play HHH’s music while he comes out. Fucking idiots walk out and we have to suffer from another sleep-inducing HHH promo… teases a match with a broomstick… sure, pal. Considering you just vilified and buried the entire roster, I’m all too (no) confident you’ll put the broomstick over.
Bottom line of this mess; HHH is outed and Johnny Ace is interim GM… the rest of the show blanked out for me and I went back to bed. Lame, predictable, baffling… meh.
Eventually, I got around to catching the rest of RAW via later replay and… Jesus Christ, who the fuck booked this crap? Jim Ross is once again fired – no surprise there – Miz and Truth are rehired and have a PPV match against HHH and CM Punk, who are now apparently buddies – thus ensuring Punk WON’T be getting his win back… AND we have Cena/Del Rio for the title at Vengeance. Wow, I have to get that PPV!
This show blew chunks. It’s absolutely ridiculous… just when you thought things were starting to look up, they manage to fuck it all up AGAIN. Nice going, WWE. You actually managed to make the build-up to the potentially shitty Sting/Hogan match at Bound For Glory LOOK GOOD in comparison! Are you serious, bro?
Why don’t I watch Smackdown more often? It has to be better than this shit on Mondays, right? Right?
