RAW (May 14th, 2012) – Oy Vey…

Some quick notes and observations from last night’s RAW:

– How are we building towards this Brock Lesnar/HHH match that apparently everyone wants to see? By having Lesnar sue HHH… this feud is already starting to suck, isn’t it? Especially with HHH’s opening 20-minute-too-long promo basically belittling Lesnar’s UFC career. I understand Lesnar’s signed for a couple dates per month and I actually would very much like to see Brock and HHH go at it since it’s a relatively new match that nobody’s ever seen before… but if this is how they’re going to be build towards that match, then it’s pretty weak sauce. Which means expectations for the eventual encounter will be quite low.

– Actually, you know what match I would rather be seeing? Paul Heyman vs. Puppet HHH in a No-Holds-Stupid match. I’m totally convince that the combined promo ability of both characters would be far more entertaining television than whatever HHH can pull out of his promo depository of boredom.

– There was a decent tag-match between CM Punk/Santino Marella and Daniel Bryan/Cody Rhodes; I seemed to enjoy that one. I’m actually kinda glad that Punk/Bryan are getting a main event at the PPV and hopefully, the internet geeks that are always singing their praises will put their money where their mouths are and buy this goddamn PPV.

– Big Show is apparently fired and reduced to begging for his job… prelude to a heel turn, maybe? Who knows? I’m not so sure if it’s such a good idea, though. People seem to like his character now; you really want to kill it with an ill-advised heel turn that would benefit jack shit?

– Speaking of which, Johnny Ace is upset that the board has declared that if he loses to Cena at the PPV, he is fired… so I guess Cena’s losing here. Isn’t he? Oh yeah, and Green Bean? Your ex says hi.

This is a pretty shit show, folks. I’ve got nothing…

Capcom blames lackluster SFxT sales on cannibalism

So, cannibals are to blame for Capcom’s lack of success with SFxT as far as sales goes? Are you sure it’s not because of the fact that you stored away locked content on your discs and are only selling codes to unlock that content and that people are pissed off because of that sort of shady business acumen?

Other than Mega Man 9 and 10, I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with that kind of bullshit.

Turtles In Time

I’ve been rewatching the third TMNT movie… for no reason other than that I was bored and watching terrible sequels to great movies seems to give me some kind of kick that I am unfamiliar with. However, it is not without its chucky-worthy moments, even if it’s at the movie’s expense. I kinda like the Casey Jones scenes with the out-of-time samurais and their exposure to the strange then-present time; those were kinda funny. I suspect that if the entire movie was based on that rather than the horrible past sequences with the feudal rebellion and not-Clint, it probably would have been far better.

But as I’m watching this movie, a sudden realization dawned on me; I actually gotten more laughs and enjoyments out of this one horrible Ninja Turtles than I did out of either TGWTG anniversary special… I guess I know what I’m watching this year…

John Cena Overcomes Another Obstacle: His (Ex-)Wife

The breaking news story here: http://www.wrestlenewz.com/wrestling/wwe-news/tmz-john-cena-files-for-divorce-from-wife/

I guess old Johnny couldn’t “rise above hate” and “gave up” on his marriage. Har, har, har.
Now people won’t have that adultery card to play on when he hooks up with Eve Torres. Har, har, har.
Me so funny… or not.
What’s not funny; kids believing that Johnny is the epitome of goodness and top of his game while this is going on. Which is not fair to the children who believe in him. I mean, come on. At least the Huckster had the decency to wait until reaching the senile point of the career to let out the dirty laundry.
At least the upcoming sex tape will be a fair more watch– fucking hell, what am I doing?
