It's silly how much better produced Chikara's videos are than TNA's. I wish that company could get at least one thing right.

It's going to suck balls when Zack Ryder gets future endeavoured. :smith:

I dunno... I think he may be one of the guys who being let go and then going to TNA benefits him. He'd get to stretch his legs as a character, would definitely get more TV time and experience the same kind of or more freedom than he was used to on ECW. Plus, there's an instant feud with Robbie E - Long Island versus Jersey.

And, holy poo poo, BORING! It felt like he droned on forever with his interview. His interviews out of the ring lack so much pizazz. Miz was way more charismatic here and gave such a better interview.

Also, I love how big Miz and Cena put Ryder over there. Now HHH just looks like an even bigger douche bag. The two guys in the WWE Title match sing his praises, and this old, tanned turd comes in and shoots him down.

I hate death matches and dopes who do death matches, but that was a pretty funny promo. Especially the line about the belt being a lovely present.

So, I'm attempting to do a wrestling vlog for my website, but I can't get over the idea of it being completely silly and having nothing of note to say. I know that this doesn't stop any other vlogger about any other topic on the internet, but has anyone here done any kind of rasslin' vloggin'? I think what it comes down to is a fear that it'll just be me rambling for minutes without any real point other than "Well, they did this and it was pretty bad. I don't understand why they do this."

Thoughts?

Edit: This is what I came up with. I blogged instead of vlogged, but who knows. Maybe I'll get the nerve to talk about this junk to an audience of zero one of these days.

Scott Hall stumbling into a ring once again last night :(

I didn't watch the whole thing, because I'm not watching an eleven minute Scott Hall promo in 2011, but he at least is coherent here. Walks (stumbles) out on his own accord and while he does need a little assistance getting onto the apron, it's not like he was being propped up while in the ring. And the bits of speech I heard weren't slurred or anything.

So, at least that one show a while back was just a scare and COULD have truly been due to his actual medication.

Look, I'm not Scott Hall apologist or anything, but he was WAY hosed up at that other show beyond anything I've ever seen before. I'd be willing to give the benefit of the doubt to him there. He's hosed himself up beyond repair and looks like a mess 99% of the time, but he was at least a functional mess in this recent video. Dude just looked zonked out of his mind in the other one.

The 24/7 and Chimel stuff at the end were absolute gold. This is where Michael Cole is perfect - allowed to poo poo on a product nobody REALLY cares about. Yes, old wrestling is neat and can be fun to watch, but 80% of that stuff is just terrible. Him and Mick riffing on it was great, and that Chunk 'O Chimel at the end was a beautiful thing.

A+ Botchamania.

This is pretty awkward. Kinda easy to get a, "Hey kids, get in the van" type of vibe from Hogan, Savage and Vince in the beginning, just because they're trying so hard to be friendly and (probably) get these kids to come out of their shells a bit.

Also, it's amazing to see how slowly Hogan moved even back then. I can't believe he still thinks he can get in the ring in 2011.

I think the Botchamania one looks more botchy because there's kind of a slow reaction from Aksana instead of just dropping immediately.

Sinn Bodhi/Kizarny responds to WWE.com's article yesterday calling him/his run in WWE a turkey. He's a well-spoken dude who seems to really love what he does. Glad things are going well for him on the indie scene, but he did get a pretty raw deal in WWE.

It is kind of a rough article on the site. It even rips into Michael Cole as the #7 turkey for "once being a respected sports-entertainment analyst", but turning into "Bobby Heenan without the sense of humor".
