Polling

From this rajah.com page;

Take this for what it’s worth, but the official WWE website is currently running a poll asking their fans which “co-main event” should go on last at Sunday’s WWE Hell In A Cell pay-per-view and by a wide margin, Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose is winning.

Good to know the WWE Universe knows which match should be closing out the show… the ones with the winner of that Dean Ambrose/John Cena match from a couple weeks ago.

That said, watch WWE go their usual ass backwards way and make the Losers’ Match go last.

Hold Up…

So Dean Ambrose won a match last week to earn himself a Hell In A Cell match with Seth Rollins, while John Cena, the loser of said match, was saddled with another encounter with Randy Orton. Okay, so far so good.

Now it was announced that the winner of the Cena/Orton match would get a title shot at Brock Lesnar… let me re-iterate, the winner of THE LOSERS MATCH gets a title shot.

Where is that stock image? Oh, here it is…

Did Bobby Roode win the TNA title yet? I haven’t been keeping up to date with taping results.

Justin Roberts Gone From WWE, Spared Another Tie Choke From Daniel Bryan Danielson

Bit of a shocker, actually. You’d figure that they’d give their “head” ring announcer a nice long tenure, but I guess that’s what they got Tony Chimel for, right? The sad part about all this? The poor guy will never get his win back from Daniel Bryan Danielson and Tiegate back in 2010.

Oh well… at least the chances of this happening again have dropped considerably now that he’s been future-endeavored.

The Hug

Wrestlecrap got around to finally inducting “the hug” that burned away money. And yes, years later, they’re still miffed by that. Gee, guys, it’s been twelve years. Did you really want another failed Invasion angle?

Fun Fact: The first time Eric Bischoff walked onto a WWE stage, he actually came out to “Back In Black” by AC/DC. Of course, any replays of this bit will have his eventual crappier WWE theme dubbed over. Yeah, you know an entrance theme is bad when it makes you miss the guy’s old WCW theme, which was basically a generic guitar riff.

Less than Fun fact: I actually missed out on an earlier chunk of this RAW, which included the very first appearance of Easy E on WWE television. So the shock, as it were, of seeing the former head of WCW appear on a RAW set and hug McMahon was deservedly there. Not necessarily because of seeing Bischoff on stage, although that alone was unexpected… but because he dyed his hair again, despite appearing on WCW a year earlier with his natural gray hair.

Roman Reigns Out Of NOC

As officially reported by WWE.com, which can be found here, Roman Reigns has to undergoing emergency hernia surgery and will be out of action for a while; as a result, he is unable to participate in the Night Of Champions PPV event, where he would’ve faced Seth Rollins in a match. I guess it’s safe to say that, in the grand scheme of things, Roman Reigns is officially a B+ player.

In all seriousness, though, I offer my thoughts to Roman and hope he recovers to get back into action soon enough.
