Downhome

Because it would've been totally impossible for them to just have the people talking to Vince as he was out of the shot off camera, right? I really do understand how that was impossible in every single sense of the word. Really, truly, I mother fucking do. As for the baby, yes, we needed to see that. Not only could they just not have done the segment at all, but it was also impossible to just have a camera in the room as they usually would do, instead of pretending they have a bloody camera as a baby in the family. You're logic makes perfect sense.

I hope it's just a Make -A-Wish segment, no angles or anything. It would look very bad if they use something like that in an angle, and since it's Foley he'd look that much worse than he already does (with his shilling, etc).

I've heard that the "botch" was meant to happen, and the Hardyz were always meant to win the tag titles. This goes back to what I said earlier, that it could lead to something pretty interesting, with WWE building up a Kendrick/London vs. Hardyz match to combine the tag titles, with Kendrick/London picking up the win, for a type of torch passing in the tag team ranks. I thought for sure it was a botch (could still be, and guys in WWE might be saying it was the plan all along just to cover up a mistake), but oh well.

Over the years it's just gotten worse and worse, you can tell what Vince is trying to do. He's trying to introduce this sort of bullshit in a way that once it's totally like a TV show, once everything is really changed, many fans wont even really notice it since it was a slow transition over a period of years. Anyone remember the horrible "Randy Orton's Visions" segments?

I think it's another step that Vince is taking to make WWE look more like a normal TV show than a wrestling program. Just over the past 24 hours we've had the two first person perspective shots, as well as Vince being on The Today Show this morning with Trump showing off his bald head, being perfectly happy about the entire deal, and saying that they're best friends again (with a smirk all the while). It didn't feel any different than seeing a normal actor on a talk show, talking about his character in a movie or a TV show. Yes, I know wrestlers are "actors" as well, but I don't like where all of this could be going. Over the years they've always tried things like this every now and then, but it feels different now, more forced and with more purpose to me.

Not to mention that Umaga was coming off of a failed title chase and jobbing to Cena before the Lashley program. I don't think that jobbing to Cena hurt Umaga, but it didn't really build him up to make him seem like a mega threat for Lashley either.

The moron's on WWE.com screwed up again. Before the match with Umaga/Lashley, they had this on the site:

Ugh. Umaga was in one of the three main events at WM this year, and looked very strong in the match. He totally kicked Austin's ass before Austin finally got payback and Lashley finally got the pin. Then, tonight, he pretty much ruled the match and didn't get pinned, his manager did. Umaga is just fine right now.

I don't get this "Umaga's push is over" talk.

come on, bro, they haven't gotten the message for years now... True. That was a decent episode of ECW. When does RAW come on again?

I hope WWE is getting the message that most of the fans are sending right now.

Wait. What? Aren't half these guys dead now? Is this some sort of 1994 Smark Joke? He's referring to their kids who wrestle; Harry Smith, Teddy Hart, Natty Neidhart, Ray Gordy, and Cody Rhodes. I was afraid of that. It looks like "The Hart Foundation Day Care and Montessori Center." I'm surprised you didn't throw David Flair in that list as well. Pretty soon we'll have Reid Flair on the list, not David.

Yeah, this is not worthy of being a RAW main event. I like it, it's ok to be on the show, but not the main event. Vince should at least be out here for the match to make it seem a little more important at least.

Wait. What? Aren't half these guys dead now? Is this some sort of 1994 Smark Joke? You really have a lot to learn if you're watching again.

Maybe the Make-A-Wish thing will be all of the young guys waiting to come up (Smith, Hart, Neidhart, Wilson, Gordy, Rhodes, etc...) making a wish that they could be brought up to the main roster.

So WWE will grant a wish for Eugene?

Nah, Soundwave has more emotion. ...and I guess no Edge tonight. Anyone hear anything on whether Edge was legit hurt last night or was just selling his ass off? Edge was fine, it was just an angle.

Oh son of a bitch, a feud over who is in the video?

She is all sorts of hot...

Vince needs to keep that hat!

Being a camera runs in the family!!!

I find it funny that WWE can't brag about the attendance being the record now since they've been lying about the other show for two decades now.

yup, went back and caught it, as well as the ref giving new direction. For what it's worth, maybe it's for the best. If they were going to combine the titles, it'd look better to have champs vs. champs and have London/Kendrick beat the famous Hardyz to combine the titles. Makes more sense, no? Could almost look like something of a passing of a torch.

I just went back to watch the "botch" with Kendrick, and yeah, that totally wasn't meant to happen. If any of you can do it, rewind it back and watch it. It's pretty obvious that it was a mistake.

This mini-match isn't that bad to tell ya the truth. But there we go with the end.
