Good Old (Senile) J.R.

From Jim Ross’ blog:

Concerned that Taker vs. HHH is their 3rd Wrestlemania bout? Heck, no. Their history is a vital part of the fabric of WWE, their first match was 11 years ago, and the way the match ended last year with Undertaker being carted out of ‘his event’ adds to the drama. These two, great professionals will make it a daunting task for any one to follow them assuming that they don’t go on last which would surprise me. The mere fact that it is quite likely that HHH vs. Taker will NEVER happen again is enough for this fan to want to see WM28.

Never happen again? IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN, YOU IDIOT!

(2020 Update: How dare you question JR, you lumbering oaf? Don’t you know that he meant that other than this one time, it was NEVER happen again… ever… never ever… why, yes, it did happen again, why do you ask?)

A Google Search For Worst Wrestling Storylines Ever

A Google search for worst wrestling storylines ever yield these results on the top of the first page:

Someone got Vince Russo as the first item; I got Ultimate Warrior and Triple H.

Fucking hell.

Hoak Hogan And What Da World Tinks Of ‘Im

I didn’t make this, but I kinda wish that I had because this is precisely how I feel about Hoak Hogan… well, minus that one offensive line, but you can blame Booker T for that one.

About Chyna’s WWE Parody Porno

So Chyna is featured in a porn parody of WWE. They had pictures previewing this thing, but the link’s been taken down. The only thing I could say is that the guy parodying Triple H doesn’t have a big enough nose.

Did anyone send her the memo as to why Vince wants nothing to do with her?

Anybody at all?

Fucking hell.

And before anyone asks… fuck no, I’m not watching this shit. I still bare scares from 1 Night In China. And the less said about THAT, the better.

Against All Creativity

Bobby Roode retains his world title at the main event due to shenanigans. Get this; Roode spits on special referee Sting’s face, who retaliates with a belt shot. Roode steps aside and Sting ends up hitting Hardy instead. Roode goes for the pin and Sting does the slow count for the win… GEE, HAVEN’T I SEEN THIS BEFORE?

Yes, it’s been ages since the last time such a finish was booked, but J.H.C.

Sad part is that this looks to be building towards Sting vs. Roode for the title.

I hope not. I honestly don’t want another Sting title reign.

TNA is just starting to not suck now.

Oh, and on a sidenote, I saw Garrett Bischoff show up on my TV and thought it’d be the perfect opportunity to take a dump. Man, that had to be one of the longest dumps I ever took. Imagine my surprise when Uncle Eric’s son was still on TV and in a match. Thus I sat through the rest of the match… which bored me to tears.

Are we sure Vince Russo isn’t heading creative anymore?

You Know What Amazes Me?

The fact that Daniel Bryan Danielson is still World Heavyweight Champion… unbelievable. In a match against two other big men, he managed to retain his title and hasn’t dropped it between PPVs. That is amazing. Could this be for real?

Piss off, kids. Let me enjoy the moment while it lasts…

WWE on YouTube

WWE finally made use of their long-dormant, half-assed YouTube page and began to add new content, including Dolph Ziggler becoming WWE’s version of Ray William Johnson, an Inbox show, and Zack Ryder’s long-running YouTube show that got him noticed. So glad that WWE is giving fans great content. It’s just too bad you can’t share your thoughts on the show, since all comments have been disabled on their videos. What class, WWE.

Hey, say what you will about TNA and their product (and I’ve said my bit on their 2011 output) but at least they LET fans comment on their YouTube stuff. If nothing, that company seems very fan-friendly and I can’t really fault them for that.

(2014 Update: WWE has long since allowed for content and their YouTube page now has lots of classic matches and moments. Good stuff, actually.)
