Whereas instead he is the owner of a Shoney's. Big difference.

So I watched last night's Raw and... yeah, that was actually fun. Show moved at a good pace, matches got time and everything was booked sensibly overall. Cesaro even cut a pretty good (albeit short) promo on Miz! If Cesaro wins and turns the IC belt into the new workrate slot on the card that could be cool. I hope he gets new music to go with the pseudo-Bond makeover they're doing on his gimmick.

CAT rear end now!!! posted:

Speaking of ratings, it looks like WWE has started posting "full episodes" of RAW and SD on their YouTube channel now. They're "full" in that they appear to be one and a half hour edits instead of the full three hours. I'd be all over that if they weren't region-locked or something as seems to be the case here since the videos won't start for me at all.

What? Where? Not appearing for me.

Just catching up on last night's Raw, one of my favorite bits so far was Enzo's delivery of,"I exist because my mom and dad got it on, how you doing?"

The way I heard it described I thought he did it loud and blustery, but his delivery seemed more along the lines of a quiet,"poo poo do these guys not understand the birds and the bees I better explain it I guess?" and that rules.

A lot of media companies have started posting full episodes on Youtube, but putting the view permissions to "whitelist for these countries", where that list is of places that there is no existing TV deal. They can then serve an underserved audience, and collect viewership data and plays, so that maybe one day they can sell the local media market on buying TV rights.

WWE did this with Tough Enough a while back, and if you followed some of their international Twitter accounts you could grab the links there, but if you are in countries with TV deals, they were blocked from view and almost impossible to search for on Youtube.com proper.

I want to see if the Wyatt face turn sticks after they're done with the League of Nations, but between that and the Observer report that they have 'big plans' for Bray post-Mania, I'm now pondering the possibility of him winning Money in the Bank. They played up the antipathy Reigns and Bray had for each other in the past a lot during that tag match, and even if the intention is still for Reigns to hold for a while, MitB isn't that much earlier than Summerslam. I don't think they would want to go into Mania season with Bray as champion, but they could probably fit in a reign for him between Summerslam and the Rumble somewhere. Hell, they were building to a Brock/Wyatt program for a while anyway, if Lesnar/Reigns is the Summerslam ME you could have Wyatt cash in after that match and roll with that for a bit. Or if they wanted to be extra petty, they could have Reigns break Punk's record and then have Wyatt cash in after that but before next year's match for the case. Reigns still gets his dominant run on top and headlines another Mania, which is what they want at the end of the day. I still think Rollins or Ambrose are the most likely ones to win the case, but it's an interesting possibility I hadn't considered before watching that Raw.

What's really annoying is the replay shows it all clearly - I can see accidentally missing a shot like this in a "real" match but they've got all this pre-scripted they should have very clear camera shots prepared for finishes like this.

On a brighter note:

Bray winning MITB is only great if the champion is standing in the ring, then DEH-, then when the lights come up Bray's already pinning the unconscious champion, ref reacts quickly, 123 new champ faster than people can process it.

It wouldn't be MITB if the current champ didn't kick out of a finisher at least once during the cash-in

It's really sad that Balls couldn't get the help that he clearly needed. I'll always remember picking him on the ECW video game because he looked the coolest and his name was Balls. As an adult, I now appreciate that he wrestled in King Diamond shirts.

Pretty sad to hear Balls died, I enjoyed what little I did see of him, and I think his run in the new version of ECW was a lot of fun. Especially the night he was dealer in the "strip" poker game and was talking extremely quietly and slowly like he was scared the girls were going to realize he had no business being there and would kick him out.

All that said:

Bray Wyatt isn't a face. Metlzer talked about "shades of grey" being back before this week's Raw, which was the most "shades of grey" WWE show I've seen in years. It was also really good.

Just saw Raw, they did so many things right. I was about to list everything I liked about it, but it's just easier to mention the things I hated about it.

Roman Reigns lol. It didn't really occur to me until just know as I'm typing this, but I'm more interested in following the Intercontinental Champion than the WWE WHC.

He used to use Dean Malenko's awesome pseudo-Bond music too, just use that I says. (the original Malenko one even, better than the vocals one)

I also will miss Balls Mahoney, he was a cool cat.

Please don't rip balls by the way.

Also I seem to remember in Mick Foley's book him getting an apartment or something during his ECW run and his roommate was just the most disgusting person he had ever met, didn't bathe, room was a mess, just awful. Turned out to be Balls Mahoney.
