Every time someone does an interview in 97 split screen during a match Vince cuts them off on commentary lol. I don't think much thought was put into Raw.

Trying to go to sleep. Misfits in Action theme stuck in my head for some reason.


Dun DUN dun DUN DUN MISFITS! Dun DUN! Dun DUN dun! IN ACTION!

Alrighty, new Raw, week before Wrestlemania 97. Bret vs Sid in a cage match for the WWF Title is the main event. It's the go-home show, so it should be good.

Starting off with the Legion of Doom vs Savio Vega and Crush from the Nation of Domination.

Haha oh God, Ahmed Johnson is doing a split screen interview and Vince can't understand what he's saying so he just cuts him off.

Farrooq does the same and tell Ahmed he's gonna speak in ebonics so Ahmed can understand him haha!

This match is awful so the interviews don't take anything away from it. Crush is atrocious.

Christ, LOD vs Crush and Savio went over 15 minutes and it ended with a dq.

HHH vs Flash Funk next. Lol last show before Wrestlemania features a match with two guys who have nothing to do with each other.

Fucking awesome ending. You could make the case that that was the night the Mr. McMahon character began.

Taz vs Sabu was so fucking awesome.

Match has that indescribable aura to it.

Can't wait for Nitros to go up so we can see all the cruiserweight matches. Fuck yeah, SUPER CALO

Watching SuperBrawl 7 Hogan you're an extinction!

these are on the wwe network already?

God, why didn't they have this network when I was om unemployment? I would of ran that shit dry.

I don't think he's watching the Raws on the network.

I can't remember... what did they say would happen to the Sid vs Taker match and the Bret vs Austin match at WrestleMania if Bret had beaten Sid on that Raw? Or did they just kinda ignore how it would change things?

Watching an old ECW episode from around 1994. Arn Anderson and Terry Funk are cutting a promo building to a match against Bobby Eaton and Sabu and Anderson says "Guys like me and Funk and even guys like Bobby Eaton need to pass the torch..."

Arn didn't know what the fuck he was talking about. 20 years later and Eaton still hasn't hit his prime yet.

Turned it on to see Big Show's dad's funeral. I love this network.

Can you believe that Arn works backstage as an agent? Imagine the terrible advice he passes on to young wrestlers.

I will admit I feel stupid it took me like 2 minutes staring at the first shirt to "get it"..

Just say Yes seems a bit weird for the front of a shirt.

Watching Raw 1997. Big match between Leif Cassidy and Miguel Perez, followed by Billy Gunn was wasn't even Rockabilly yet vs Aldo Montoya.

How this company managed to turn it around in a year is amazing.

Ditto. Blackman4lyf!

Better than the alternate "5 NO'S AND A YES IS YES"

Who is that miserable person?

Rockstar Spud

Ha. I've recently watched all the early 97 stuff. Just coming up to Montreal.

lol "Just say yes" is kind of an odd thing for a shirt to say considering the aim toward kids.

BLITZKRIEG.

is there a sex tape?

watching summerslam 09 and spotted lesnar fan

Great performance by Maria.

I wonder if the guys who lost to The Million Dollar Man got to keep the cash that was stuffed down their mouth....

Great performance by Maria's Ass.

Holy fuck, Why Steiner?

Scott Steiner is awesome---that definetely has Shisen Kopf sig potential

I bet WWE has its eyes on the WWC Video library.

As we see it is indeed included in the HOF Video for Carlos Colon.

Fucking great house show tonight, The Shield and Wyatt Family fuckin tore the roof off. We left during the Orton/Cena cage match.

Other notable stuff:

Bad News Barrett d. Kofi

Real Americans got me major heat for yelling WE THE PEOPLE, my older son told me afterwards that the Mexican guy next to me look disgusted at me cheering them, whatever.

Heisenberg with the NUCLEAR HEAT.

Yeah man, big heel in real life

Surprised the wetback could understand what you were saying.

More importantly, he SPOKE OUT on it! Somebody inform Ryan Clark!!!

So, I finally got around to watching the second half of RAW (I could only see the first half to the show because reasons), and I'm a bit disappointed in the Christian/Sheamus matchup since there were, at one point, 4 chairs in the ring, and NO FREAKIN' ONE MAN CONCHAIRTO!?! WHAT THE SHIT, WWE?!?

I still dont get it. Maybe me eyes are bad but I cant make this out

"<>" and "\ /"are arms "o" is a head. It's a stick figure doing the air pointing thing.

*o> \o/ o> \o/



* can't actually have the "arms" in the down position in a post, for obvious reasons, which is why they only have one "arm".

Ah, I see.

Horrible shirt.

90s wrestling commentary was the greatest. Vince just sold a suplex off the second rope like a pin was a foregone conclusion.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/vW1hv37imjw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Yeah, that was definitely in my podcast notes. Christian, who has used a one-man conchairto on multiple occasions, sees a bunch of chairs and a downed Sheamus, and thinks "aha, I should frog splash onto a couple chairs!"

Chairshots to the head are banned... even obviously fake ones where he is just hitting another chair with a chair. Gotta teach the kids to not hit each other with chair in the head.... only the back and gut.

Del Rio gave Edge a 1-man conchairto when they feuded, and that was just a couple years ago. Have the rules changed that much since then?

They fined HHH and Undertaker for chairshots to the head, FFS. The days of any kind of chairshots to the head area are done even if the actual risk of a chairshot to the head is low.

As long as there are no follow up questions....... Yes. Yes, they have.

Thanks for talking to us today, Lock Jaw's Ass. :p

The TLP crew has ruined you, Poit.

TLP: Tools Laboring Points

Alternatively called "What Does the Tazz Say??

Never understood how you could fuck up a figure four. I've slapped that bad boy on my brothers for years as a kid and didn't have half the trouble Lex is having.

Was wondering who that was in the green trunks, then read Damian Rey's post and thought :roll:

I can't wait for HHH to beat Daniel at WM.

Shisen must be so proud.

I wonder if they really expected fans to get behind Batista as a face, honestly.

It wouldn't surprise me if they have taken to writing storylines more reactionary, allowing the crowd to dictate which direction to take the show. Like Rock's heel turn after facing Hogan, that wasn't planned either, but it was the right thing to do.

I don't like the cover but I will probably buy it.

Still haven't read the second one....

It focuses more on his music and outside interests, but still a great read. Jericho's books are only rivaled by Foley's. I really hope JR gets around to writing a book. He said on his podcast that the book market sucks right now, so he is afraid of doing one.

Jericho's books are probably two of my favourite books. Incredibly funny, interesting, and well-written.

That third one is probably has the lamest cover, but I'm sure the book itself will still be awesome.

Maybe if he lost the rumble.

We have the worst commentators in existence for the local wrasslin show we cover... Seriously just terrible....

Two fat slobs who are more concerned with putting themselves over and "being cool". Both of them act like the "bad guys" and rip apart everybody who isn't a heel... except for one heel who is a "masked Mexican" and so they rip him apart too. Occasionally, though, they will even dig at the heels who they were just praising.

There is one heel in particular who they are both "in love" with... we taped three shows yesterday... and the "story" was that he was kept off the first show... so they kept incessantly talking about him for two whole episodes... and then when he finally had a match they pretty much ignored him and just started making jabs and jokes and "innuendo" about his female valet.

Worst thing they did was the big title match... that they have been building towards for three shows... it is going on... and they are freaking ignoring it. Talking about other sports, talking about themselves as usual.... saying things like "Ahahaha! Look at that grom in the crowd, he can't even spell! We need to get a shot of his sign! Can we get a shot of his sign?! [Calls out camera guy by name, who can't hear him], can you spin around and get a shot of that sign?! We need to get a shot of that!"

No. We do not. How about you talk about the major title match going on in the ring right now? With the heel that you have been cheering for for three shows to take the belt? Look at your monitor and talk about what is on the screen, and don't just look around at the crowd.

It was just terrible.

Wait what is it that you do exactly?

I work at a local tv station

WCW announcers.

No, at least WCW announcers would have called the match. Now, every other move would have been a "sidewalk slam", but at least they wouldn't have been fixated on the crowd signs.

nope

Remember when John Cena wanted to face Wade Barrett / Ted DiBiase Jr. at Mania?

fuck_you_lock_jaw.png

Such a sad picture. Making me feel really glum, chums....

It's amazing how less I care about Christian since he first won the real World Heavyweight Championship after Edge retired.

Loved Christian's old theme

Cool post, bro :y:

They should give someone a massive hypochondriac gimmick. Constantly concerned about everything. A headache is a tumour, a cough is cancer. He should worry about everything that could go wrong. Call them "The Ultimate Worrier". Thinking CJ Parker.

Didn't Eric Young have a paranoid worried about everything/scared about getting fired/scared of his own pyro gimmick?

I love that Bleamus sig.
