'Tazzwell'? LOL.

You know they sold that hat at the house show I went to.

NOT VAL VENIS~!

Never been to a WWE live event before. I have tickets to the one in Wildwood on August 10th. What can I expect? What kinda sign should I make? Shame Jeff got suspended though, I guess I won't be seeing him there.

Do you HONESTLY want Cena to retain? After a year of holding that damn belt?

Eh, I don't really think it'll have any bearing on SS booking.

I think Umaga was acting confused at first.

Lol at the dueling chants.

Auction off the crown, lol

Lol at the 'Wooo' from the audience just before Ric Flair actually appeared.

Then Russo and Jarrett book him in a 'Roids on a Pole' match.

Sorry about the delay, been playing Trauma Center all weekend. Here's the summary: Long ass line to get in in the first place. Passed the merchandise table, but didn't really see anything that was worth swimming my way through that huge crowd around it for. Got a soft pretzel and sat down. Sat in ground seats. Ring looks deceptively smaller than it actually is from this view. Kind of hard to see the superstars when they're on the mat because of everyone's heads in the way. I can't even see them when they're entering until they get into the ring. The lights dimmed and Howard Finkel (sp) came out to 'Welcome to the Jungle'. Then he introduced Regal, who first informed us that 'Umanga' (lol) wouldn't be there due to transportation issues, and anyone could receive a refund before the second match. Then he told us that the Women's, tag, and WWE championships would be defended. First match: Daivari came out and spoke a bunch of gibberish in his language before a talent billed from Wildwood came out. I think he was John something. Surprisingly, Daivari actually jobbed. Second match: Before the match started, Howard came up and asked for an audience participant to announce the next match. Super Crazy came out followed by Snitsky. Surprisingly, Super Crazy got in a lot of offense and it was more entertaining than the usual squash on RAW. I guess they're not using the big boot for Snitsky's finisher anymore, since Crazy lost after a pumphandle slam or something. Howard came up and asked for more audience participation, inviting an audience member to be a guest manager, who then went in the back. Third match: Johnny Jeter (I like his new look) defeated Charlie Haas. Jeter's not half bad. Fourth match: Carlito issued an open challenge and Cody Rhodes accepted. Carlito beat him with the backstabber. Pretty standard fare here. Fifth match: Candice Michelle (with the guest manager, think it was a girl) beat Beth Phoenix to retain the Women's title. Snooze-fest. Intermission. I bought another soft pretzel. Yummy. Sixth: Cade & Murdoch beat Cryme Time to retain the titles. Thought it was a pretty good tag match, with some funny spots here and there. Though Cade and Murdoch won, Cryme Time beat them down post-match, and then auctioned off one of their hats for 50 bucks, lol. Seventh: Mr. Kennedy came out to a huge pop and got the mic from the ceiling, and introduced himself. Val Venis came out and did the job, as expected. Eighth: Main event time. The whole place exploded for Cena, including these two annoying Cena marks behind me. Speaking of Cena, there were a lot of shirts on little kids and signs they were holding up. I guess Cena really is over with the kids. My father thinks it's because he's clean cut and doesn't have any tattoos, and isn't a freak (using Batista as an example) so the parents let them like him. *Shrugs* As for the match, it was actually pretty fun. Longer than the main events you'd seen on TV. Nothing too out of the box, although Cena actually does show a few more moves than he does in TV, not too many more though. Orton actually hit the RKO at one point and got a delayed cover, Cena kicked out. Cena did five-knuckle shuffle, STFU, Orton got the ropes, Cena hits the FU for the win. Tickets were 40 bucks. All in all, it was alright, I guess...but it probably would have been better spent on a PPV. Ah what the hell, I liked it. It was surreal because the crowd acted exactly like it does on TV, I felt like I was watching the show while being in it, sorta. Kinda hard to explain. I'm not going to give star ratings for the matches because I'm no expert. But there's the rundown.

I'm not trying to sound like a jerk or anything, but is there a chance they're taking something and running with it to say 'See, our Wellness Policy works!' now that Congress has them under the magnifying glass?

Really? I thought that was one of the biggest pops ever.

When did anyone ever mock Punk every week? John Morrison doesn't count because it's his job, he's the heel.

Punk can't exactly lose unless they turn Elijah face and have him fight for it after Punk.

Yeah, I can see Punk lasting 15 minutes here.

I seriously doubt Stevie is next in line for a shot. Punk has been getting a push for months, Stevie needs more build before the fans will buy him as a credible title contender.

Reset?

Keep your eye on the RAW preview, "Mr. McMahon Strikes Back" will likely vanish soon. Nah, I don't think it'll vanish.

I think it must be a misprint or something. You don't lose that much of your audience without a major reason....

How the hell did they drop nearly a whole 1.0? Maybe it was the Congress stuff?

I don't think the WWE can squirm out of it, if Congress really presses the issue.

Could Congress theoretically order government-issued tests on WWE's wrestlers?
