I ramble about things.

RAW After Mania (April 2nd, 2007) – We Don’t Talk About This One, Either

Yeah… stuff happens on this show.

It’s probably not the most elaborate thing, but this was one of those shows where stuff happens and none of it stuck. This was the night after the Battle Of The Billionaires and Vince got his head shaved… which makes him wear a fedora that led him to winning the ECW title over Bobby Lashley at the next PPV. Also Shawn and Cena were tag champs and had a match at Mania that Cena won to boos, and then Shawn turned on Cena and they lost the belts to the Hardys in a battle royal…

Yeah, that’s all I got. Sorry.

Thoughts on the 23rd anniversary of the Montreal Screwjob, Chris Jericho joining the NXT demographic, and… well, I’d like to say that we talk last night’s Full Gear show, but this was recorded before the show took place, so instead I’ll go ahead and talk about how much of a shitshow you folks have down south… maybe I shouldn’t have had a Happy Pinky on the banner for such a dire episode, but whatever.

Note: This episode was recorded before it was announced that Joe Biden had won the presidency. I’ll make a note of it next episode, if I care enough, that is.

Congrats To Joe Bison

So… after days of counting votes, the outlaw mudshow otherwise known as this year’s U.S. presidential election has reached its conclusion, as Joe Bison gained his votes to defeat the Orange Man.

Of course, Orange Man is crying foul at the results, claiming this is stolen and illegal counts are being voted or whatever. Indeed, we have a winner, but the shitstorm is just getting started.

As I said Wednesday, whatever happens afterwards is what you folks down south deserve. What that ends up being… I’m not entirely sure, but hopefully Sleepy Joe will able to figure it out soon while his meds are still a thing.

In all seriousness, though, congrats to Joe Biden for winning the election. What exactly he won is something he’ll have to discover for himself, but I guess CNN will happy that they no longer have to shit on the Orange Man.

AEW Dynamite (Nov 4th, 2020): I Completely Forgot About This Show…

You know, with all the shit-shingles surrounding the bickering of old men and political ideologs, it just occurred to me that I had completely forgotten about last night’s AEW show… which is a go-home show for their Full Gear PPV taking place this weekend. Honestly, I can’t imagine the ratings being any good due to the mess down south, but at the same time, I can’t imagine anyone caring about wrestling at the moment.
From my understanding, it was a pretty tame show with a couple good promos from Mox and Kingston regarding their match and a strong showing from Sammy Guevara during a tag match. Jericho was on commentary once again. Sounds like I didn’t miss much.
However, to bring up some good news, Cody is now able to be Cody Rhodes again… even though everyone has been calling Cody Rhodes every now and then, so it probably doesn’t mean much anymore. Still, good for Cody. Maybe he’ll bury more people with that extra name.
Or maybe he should’ve trolled the AEW crowd and called himself Stardust or something.
Nah, that would’ve been stupid.

You’re Getting What You Deserve

No, this is not about the Joker movie. But the header does fit.

Because it’s the truth.

You know… I’m not one to talk politics on this here blog. It’s not a thing I care to comment on and it’s regarding a country that I do not live in. However, in light of the ongoing (as of this writing, at least) counting of the votes that is still ongoing, I feel the need to say this to all my neighbors in the south and I want to emphasize that this is from the bottom of my heart.

You’re getting what you deserve.

I’m not saying this out of malice, because I feel the pain of millions of southern neighbors in anxiety over their uncertain future. The voters who feel their vote to this political process called democracy may or may not be counted. There’s a part of me that feels sorry for the citizens of the nation genuinely concerned about their country’s future, but there’s also a part of me that feels this whole thing is your own damned fault and whatever happens afterwards is of your own doing.

This whole election snafu and the shitstorm that’s going to come afterwards is something that could’ve been prevented had anyone had the foresight to develop a system that would result in a timely and smooth electoral process during a period where such results would be demanded upon. Yes, the world is suffering from prevailing circumstances and we’re developing ways to operate in this pandemic-stricken environment. Don’t you think the means in which you’re determining your next head of state should be one of those things, especially considering the scrutiny and the ballyhoo that is going to be drawn to it?

This is harkening back to Gore vs Bush in 2000, where things turned to shit during that electoral process as well… and then things went to hell for the next eight years. You’d think we would’ve learned something from that, but instead we’re too busy trying to censor history because it might offend someone or hurt their feelings.

To hell with your feelings.

History is not supposed to be pretty. It’s not supposed to be all-inclusive. It is pretty diverse, but not in the way you’d like. You’re not supposed to like history. You’re supposed to learn from it and try to do better than what your predecessors have in the past. And you haven’t done a single thing of it. Hell, none of us have. That’s what so damned frustrating.

Anyone who had a hand in this mess… congratulations, you deserve whatever comes afterwards and the rest of us have to suffer for it by proxy.

Thanks a lot.

RAW After Mania (April 3rd, 2006) – The Night After The Birth Of Cuck Fena

So what a difference a year makes. John Cena went from beloved champion to hated fellow in roundabout fashion. And when HHH is unable to sway the crowd into cheering for the chosen one, we’ve got a situation that would continue on for DECADES.

In any event, there’s a nice opening segment with Cena, Hunter, and Edge; some nice barbs here and there about perfect Mania streaks not being in the main event and such. This exchange results in a handicap match with HHH and Edge teaming up against Cena and McSon-In-Law wins, of course.

In other news, the Spirit Squad (a male cheerleader group that you’re supposed to hate in 2006, but would’ve been babyfaces in 2020) beat KANE and the FUCKING BIG SHOW for the Tag-Team titles in a big upset. Chavo Guerrero “quits” after losing a match against Shelton Benjamin – but he’d eventually show up on Smackdown to fuck with Rey Mysterio… that’s loads of fun right there. Shane and Vince challenged Shawn Michaels and GOD to a match… no, not a wrestler named GOD, but the actual Almighty himself… but not Lashley… this is so fucking stupid.

There’s actually some fun stuff on here and after a couple dull years, we have a good RAW after Mania. Things are supposed to be looking up because this is when things are supposed to get really, really good in WWE.

I sure hope so.
