Former WWE Superstar and current Marvel Comics scribe CM Lee (see what I did there?) went on Colt Cabana’s Art Of Wrestling podcast and tells all… for those who want to know the whys, here’s a page that spells it out in text. Now aren’t you happy that you’re getting a CM Lee headline that doesn’t involve him going to the bathroom or taking a dump?

Or, if you prefer, you can listen to the podcast itself.

According to this rajah.com posting, the plan going forward is that RAW might be experiencing weekly general managers, some of which may very well be “celebrity guest stars”. I remember the days when this was a thing back in 2009-2010… it sucked.

Can’t we just hire back Mike Adamle and be done with it?

I’ve got further thoughts on the show that I just recorded for the audio project this coming Monday, but for the most part, a forgettable show that was highlighted by Dolph Ziggler’s show-stealing performance towards the final moments of the main event along with the long-awaited arrival of the man they call STING to a WWE event.

All in all… meh.

The post above talks about the bidding war over Brock Lesnar’s services and the heading of this blog post clearly spells out my opinion on the matter. Once Brock drops the strap at ‘Mania 31, exactly what is WWE hoping to accomplish by dragging him out for another year’s worth of non-appearances? I’m wondering how Brock’s non-appearances as WWE champion is working out, because the subscriber count on the WWE Network didn’t see a sizable increase. They’re spending a ton of money on this guy and he’s not even worth it.

The Brock Lesnar shine has long since dulled. Let him do his remaining appearances and then let him sign with someone else for a change and get crippled there or something. Because I doubt there’s going to be a special “Don’t hit Brock in the bowels” ruling when he returns to MMA.

So TNA got a new deal with Destination America, a channel that I’ve never heard and chances are, neither has anyone else. I would wonder about how this would pertain to viewing TNA programming in Canada, but since I don’t watch TNA these days… actually, I’m wondering how this is a good thing to anything other than TNA guaranteed to survive a little longer than a year or two. Regardless, best of luck to TNA and all involved in their new venture.

Yeah, so Grumpy Cat is gonna host Monday night RAW next week. Only one thought comes to mind when I first heard this; who the fuck is Grumpy Cat?

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.

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.

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.
