They played RCL before the show, so I watched the last few minutes.
Holy crap what an annoying show. I could see the 10 year old version of
me digging it though, so maybe they should've put it on as Saturday
morning kids programming or something. It seems like it would've been
awesome back-to-back with WMAC Masters. I approve of SD beginning with a
match instead of a revolving door promo exchange. Tremendous flip bump
from Ambrose off the apron during THE WWE APP bit on Raw - love how
they're getting over Rollins' flying knee as a killer move too.
ACCORDING TO TWITTER, the team of Orton and Sheamus is the #Celtic
Vipers. Fucking terrible name and they have no chemistry together as
partners. I loved Cody declaring that the fans didn't deserve to hear
Sandow's story, although I completely forgot about these two doing
anything during Raw. LOVED the Disaster kick off the table. It's so
great that Cody has figured out a way to make that move seem deadly by
having it come out of nowhere. It's kind of like Morrison's parkour
gimmick, but minus the laughable skits running around the building like a
video game character. He comes off like a smart guy using his
environment to his advantage - kinda like Finlay. Shocked to see Orton
make the match stand out by changing up his usual offense by adding an
exploder to his arsenal. RKO on Cody won - this was a bunch of fun. THE
#CELTICVIPERS WON. Loved the Shield's promo. It's a shame that they had
Big Show work "two days later" on Main Event - didn't even bother trying
to make the triple powerbomb seem deadly by doing that. Loved the heels
making a challenge for a match - nice to see heels who aren't cowards.
Jon Moxley and Tyler Black are going to WrestleMania! They announced
Swagger-Jericho as the main event tonight...zero reasons being given for
this match being made, but it should be quite good.
Yay,
more stuff on The Call. Might Redbox it at some point. Probably won't
though unless it's half off or free. They replayed the Kane skit - Kane
with a smart phone is still amusing. Mr. Dongo is still coming. 110,000
books were read during the WM Reading Challenge, which was a natural
segue to Brock killing the Outlaws on Raw. I'm disappointed that Brad
actually wore a suit and wasn't dressed like a hipster. Show's shaved
but still visible beard looks weird. Sheamus and Orton were kind of
dicks to lead Show on like they did if they were just going to pick
Ryback. Also, side by side, Ryback looks as old as Show. Kaitlyn's new
theme sucks. Her last one was at least amusingly bad. Layla looks hotter
with the lighter hair color. Tamina and Aksana look strange as a team.
They got the worst camera angle ever for Kaitlyn leaning over the ropes
to encourage Layla. Aksana has THE hottest body language in wrestling
now. Nice flying shoulder block from Kaitlyn. Loved her knocking herself
Loopy off the spear and then Layla sneakily stealing the win. Her heel
turn is being built up well. The Funkadactyls GREW UP WATCHING THE
BELLAS, holy hell that was funny, then Naomi made a brake sound and was
all offended at being called a hoochie mama. This ruled.
Raw
Rebound focused on the Punk-Taker deal - I've got a really good feeling
about that feud now, and it seems very odd to type that given that it
involves a man actually dying. Unlike the Brock vid, this segued nicely
into Kane coming to the ring for a match. Seems to be againt Dolph for
some reason. Again, a main event-level match being made with no reason
for it. The Sandals commercial now featuring autotune is hilarious, as
is them bragging about people having an all-inclusive vacation. Turns
out the match is being made due to Bryan's comments about AJ and Dolph
and their match on Raw. Fine reason - would've been great if they
explained that before the break. Loved Maddox talking about being
strong, but that Big E is even stronger than he is. This was a really
fun match. Loved the sick bump Bryan took from the beal from Big E, and
Dolph winning more or less clean here. Loved Big E laying out Kane with
his move. Excellent stuff here overall.
Good God
are these Alberto parody videos terrible. For one thing, they expose the
Zeb ones as fake by using the same background. For another, they aren't
funny, and they look cheap with the outfits, which is absurd given that
Alberto's apparently a bajillionaire. LOVED Truth and Jericho being
pals backstage, and his white and gold getup. Looks really slick.
Swagger being offended that Jericho SNUCK OVER THE BORDER AT BIRTH was
great. Shame that Jericho and Dutch didn't have more screen time
together. None of Jericho's tattoos look good on him at all. Mr. Dongo is still coming.
JBL Touted from Mt. Death - JBL is awesome. Fandango's new black and
red getup looks awesome, but this whole gimmick gives off a big Disco
Inferno vibe to me. I do love him burying Khali's dancing and English
though. YOU FANDANGO! This was by far the best thing that Fandango's
done - it's all about the DOOONNGGGG. This was remarkable - they
should've started with this one.
JOHN CENA HAS
MORE FACEBOOK FANS THAN ANYONE IN THE UFC! This led to them replaying
Raw's Rock-Cena vid. Striker talked with Sheamus and Orton leading to a
fine Shield beating because Ryback was busy preparing for his match with
Henry. Rollins throwing plasticware onto Sheamus was amusing. They came
back and Teddy gave Ryback all the exposition about what happened to
his partners and Booker told him to not lose his focus. According to
Josh, Ryback is a MENTAL MACHINE AND A PSYCHO FOR SUCCESS. I cannot even
begin to imagine Ryback's character thinking of those. Loved them just
doing a collar and elbow before the hield's theme hit, they came out and
distracted Ryback, who LOST HIS FOCUS and got murderkilled by Henry as a
result since Henry left him alone with them numerous times and he chose
to fight them and not him, so he destroyed him with four slams. This
was absolutely perfect, and the booking of everyone in this is great.
Loved the massive blurring on the fat fan flipping off the Shield as
they came out. YOU WILL NOT RUN THROUGH ME! Viva Mark Henry! He should be King of the Ring so he can be WWE's King Henry I.
They
talked about the Highlight Reel from Monday, then showed Swagger
attacking Sin Cara after the match to hype up the main event. After they
set this match up, they had Josh talk about how Swagger won the MITB
case and actually cashed it in 3 years ago against Jericho. WHY IN THE
HELL WOULDN'T YOU MENTION THAT BEFORE!? They did a clothesline spot that
looked weird, but was seemingly covered up with a knee to the gut from
Jericho. Jericho looked so good here, and this run is going far better
than his last one did. I think part of it might be expectations - they
built the last one up huge and it wasn't all that great. It wasn't bad,
but fell short of his '08 run. This one wasn't hyped up at all and was
the first time they did a return for him without hyping it up, so it
also felt different than the other ones. His work has been better here
than it was just a year ago too. There, it almost seemed like he was in
indy show mode on WWE TV, whereas now, he's having good to great matches
constantly. Loved them doing the Angle-Eddie WM XX finish minus the
boot removal for a nearfall. Odd to have it go through so many breaks
but only have a few minutes of action each time. Nice ankle
lock>Walls countering exchange. Jericho's sweet double axe handle AND
crossbody off the top ruled. Loved the finish with Jericho bonking his
head off the buckle and then getting hit with the Doctor bomb. This was
my favorite Jericho TV match since his comeback and Swagger's best match
in a long time. If they'd put this on Raw instead of the Sin Cara deal,
it would have done a world of good for him.
