The Wrestling Thread

[Kurt "Fashionista" Hummel]

Ooh, yay ^_^ you'll have to lemme know you're LJ name and I'll add ya as a friend on there ;P and, gah, little smirk from Randy wiped my mind for ages-- I need a video of Teddy doing that in the most serious of ways-- and then all of our other boys too, cause, y'know, we can't leave anyone out, can we? XD And, yay, I think I managed to find that screen-pic: candy-belle.livejournal.com/127870.html >> lookit some of the other pics she has on her LJ, in her WWE Fic Master-List, right at the bottom.

However, if you do look at some of those pictures I would advise you to be A) not at work and B) probably better off on your own xDD they might be manips but they're a little on the naughty side and all that *whistles innocently* I'm not a collossal perv for WWE wrestlers and my slashy pairings, I swear... And, ooh, ooh, you make icons? *puppy dog eyes* will you make me one sometime? Pllleeeaaaassseee? I'm no good at stuff like that lol xD it's writing I seem better at than creative things on the actual-making kind... If that makes sense :/ lol, well, hopefully you'll get what I mean. I'll prolly read everyone else's fics first to see their characterisations, and then I'll put my own spin on it or something... I'll have to read anything that you read too *excited*.

Jerry Lawler had me in stitches earlier when he was saying about Tamina trying to hit on Michael Cole in the same way she does Santino, and Michael was all, "I'm a happily married man, King!" and I was thinking in my head, 'Yeah Michael, married to the Miz!' and then King's come-back of, "Just because you're on a diet doesn't mean you can't look at the menu!" That line, that line right there was just FTMFW right there xD And, it amused me that King of all people wasn't impressed by LayCool either. And, the bit about John getting his millionth fan on FB or whatever it was, and then asking Michael, "How many fans do you have?" and Michael going, "I don't have facebook." Michael lies xD haha, there's all snaps of him and Mizzy on there.

It amused me most seriously when Daniel Bryant came out and went for Miz, because even though Michael wasn't saying anything and the camera was focused on Miz, Bryant and John, I could just imagine Michael trying to fight out of King's hold to go and get Bryant xDD I had to hold in my laughter otherwise my mum and her bf would have been sat there looking at me as though I were a freak of nature. My little brother (who was two in Feb) made me laugh when Sheamus came out, because he went, "Ginger badguy!" and then managed to say his name for the first time since he's started on the show haha. I'd be happy with anyone winning in their iron-man match so long as it wasn't Edge, Sheamus, or Barrett, lol. I've never really liked Edge, and obviously I don't want Sheamus to keep it, and if Barrett manages to win I don't see him keeping it for very long at all. lol, typing that has just made me consider Barrett winning, and then Miz cashing in on him to win... before running down to the announce table to snog the living daylights out of his screaming cheerleader/husband, Michael Cole as King looks on, completely stunned XDD.

Randy and Teddy-- woo, they finally put some Legacy back in there! See, now, I would have died and gone to fangirl heaven if Cody had been down at commentary with King and Cole for some reason-- that would have made my day. And, lol, you know that Cody was so pouty like a little prima-donna when Teddy was 'checking out Maryse' when they got into the ring... And it still cracks me up that she helps him into the ring xD such a bitch Teddy, I love it. And, urgh, have you seen the first t-shirt Ted has now? It looks like a cast-off of his father's; everyone on Codiasi agrees that it looks like a cast-off from his father's old collections. I want Codes to get a t-shirt too! Lol, Daddy Randy loves Mammah John-John, and that's why he always picks him out of everyone. Evvy T.T he is so on the same level as Morrison and truth, maybe even higher, but they're seriously undervaluing him again which makes me an unhappy bunny *pouts*.

Ooh... Serena has apparently been sacked o.o but they haven't announced it yet because they've already done Smackdown and she's on it and all. They'll need to be working it into the storyline somehow. The cryptic comment is that she, "Hasn't been adhering to her straight-edge lifestyle away from work" so chances are it's a drugs suspension.

[Trash]

Sorry I haven’t been on line for a couple of days – I’m looking for a new place to live and it’s been a bit grueling. Think I might have found a place, but I’m not looking forward to packing up my many tons of shit (including ten years worth of wrestling magazines, I’m such a packrat, lol).

Serena’s been fired? As soon as I read that, I went and checked out a few internet sources and no one’s sure what’s occurring – although apparently, she’s been kinda shit-faced away from work, so odds are it’s related to that. Deffo not straight-edge, but I’m not convinced that’s the kind of thing she should get fired for, unless she turned up plastered – doesn’t sound like it though, although the thing a couple weeks ago when she got caught in a bar seems to have been a public shaming thing. I’m still kinda mad though, because out of all the Divas, she’s one of the few I can stomach. And right after her first match is bad timing. Might have made Punks ultimatum mean more though, had she lost the match for them.

Hey, have you seen anything of Cody’s warehouse 13 appearance? I haven’t actually checked it out yet (apparently it’s on youtube) and I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but apparently the lisp made it’s return – “Buthted”, I’m gonna be sooo into that now. I don’t make really good icons, They’re pretty average, but I’d be happy to make one for you! Lol, I was downloading Cody pics last night for that reason… and only that reason *innocence* I was looking at Ted’s shirt and have to agree, it’s not that cool. Like, a pic of Ted would work better on the front with the back staying the same, but I don’t like it how it is. A Ted Senior shirt? Yeah, that works, but not a Ted Junior. And yes, we demand a Cody shirt!

Oh hell, when Bryan went for Miz, I kept expecting Cole to come out and interfere! *laugh* And I had the same thought about Michael too, when he said he was married. You love Mizzy, Cole and you know it! I can’t wait for some of the stuff he comes out with at NotC. And he said last week that he had a Facebook and that there were pics of Miz on there, lol. Oh hell, if Cody had been announcing and MC asked who he thought would win… I mean, it was a foregone conclusion, irritatingly enough, but still! Cody, in his sexy voice, “Well Randy’s good but no one’s as good as my man. I mean, Teddy. I mean Ted! Ted’s gonna win!” And he’d be way safer there than with Striker. Heh, a friend just phoned to find out if I would go out on Friday and I’m like “No…” And before I could elaborate, she said “Smackdown being on is not an excuse, tape it!” Lol, my nephew’s birthday last week was pretty hilarious because we were both doing Sheamus impressions and my sister, who’s not a fan, was giving us extremely blank looks. Heh, and I was in the market today and there’s a shop that sells wrestling DVDs (none of the ones that I need sadly) and they were playing one – and as I walked in, Randy Orton was coming on and I had to stop and spend ten minutes drooling at the screen, heh heh.

Evan needs a push – it’s like they completely forgot about him! There was a little progress when he teamed with Cena and had his feud with Jericho, but since that he’d had nothing at all. This does not make me happy. And now he’s just on the weekend shows and that sucks! That’s why I think he’d do well feuding with Ted, because although Ted’s on the shows, he’s not really in a pissing match with anyone. Completely fangirled over him and Randy in a match though and that wasn’t even the match of the night – Cena/ Miz was oddly enough probably the most engaging. I don’t think Barrett’s ready for the title right now, maybe in a year or so’s time. I actually used to love Edge when he was tagging with Christian and the tag scene was red hot – “We so totally reek of awesomeness!” But I don’t want him to win right now and the same goes for Sheamus, I don’t want him to win either. I could live with Jericho winning, obviously – I even have a Jerichoholic shirt, heh. And I could definitely live with Randy winning XD. I think things are going that way, given that Randy is super-popular lately.

Oh! And I did start writing something new, but I’m so distracted of late with everything that’s been going on. I was struggling a lot to come up with something – I always do until I’ve written a couple of things in a fandom – so I just went with a mildly amusing scenario that I’ve been telling myself when I really should be getting on with my work, lol. All my true loves, wrestling, slash and uh, zombies. I know, lame. But it’s more to get myself into the swing of things rather than as a serious exercise in doing something awesome. Probably never see the light of day, but at least it amuses me.

[Kurt "Fashionista" Hummel]

No worries at all! I know how stressful that can be *nods* if I find somewhere for myself then I'm going to be the same lol xD. And yup, apparently it was a drugs suspension. I thought that maybe it was alcohol too, but my mum's bf said that they rarely ever suspend you for alcohol, so chances were that it was drugs. I think it is a shame in a way that she's been fired because I think her character could have been developed way beyond the SES. I don't see Luke Gallows or Joey Mercury going too far beyond it, because I just think they have no personality-- LG's squeaky-esque voice amuses me no-end though. I think they're probably going to go for another "Serena's failed because of alcohol" line or something though to pass it off for the fans.

I saw a video someone made of all the Warehouse 13 bits with Cody on (which was pretty much the only bit I was interested in anyway xD) and I watched that; I thought he had done really well with it, considering it's not the same sort of acting as they do in the WWE. Ach, lisp = <3. I grinned though at the kiss scenes I saw because in my head Ted was standing behind the camera with a very disapproving look on his face for two reasons xD. And, woohoo *does caramalledansen* I love all kindsa icons, so you might not like 'em and I'll love 'em lol. Or, like someone said on LJ, they could have the "Everybody's got a price--" and then on the back, "But me? I am Simply Priceless!" It may be old, but at least it was Teddy's!

O.o on Codiasi, have you seen the house-show pics someone took of Cody with a mirror on the back of his jacket? I died. I srsly died dead. He should show wear that on TV... If they sold the jacket he wore I would buy it-- regardless of the teasing I would receive from my mum's bf lol. Ah, the publicly unacknowledged (on Miz's part mainly) love between announcer and wrestler; it's almost too beautiful to bear witness to haha. I can't wait to see if they have Miz on commentary soon during one of DB's matches or something considering he's supposed to be challenging him for the championship and all. Michael would probably die from the closeness, and I can just imagine Miz's hand going underneath the table and ahem, distracting, MC a little from what he's supposed to be saying. And lol, Cody watching Randy and Ted would probably have brought back more deja vu concerning threesomes and baby-oil ;P. Ack, Sheamus on that throne had me pissing myself. When they brought it out, the first thing I said was, "Isn't that the King of The Ring Throne?" and my mum's bf was like, "You know, I think it is!" Ha, recycled xD Sheamus is using a cast-off from William Regal... For Shame... us. I want RAW's episodes to be on DVD. I would watch them over and over. Srsly.

I can't believe they're on 900 already! It seems like not too long ago when they were all buzzed about the fact that they were on 800! But, yeah, digressing... Evvy BB! It sucks that he's just primarily on Superstars now, because those matches are nowhere near as good as the TV ones-- it's just that irritating fucking LayCool, Dude-Busters and Archer and Hawkins or whatever they're called. And, he usually ends up against Zack frigging Rhyder! Yeah... I don't like the way he seems to be backtracking again. It really is a prejudices business, but it's Vince who apparently can't grasp the concept of building their smaller wrestlers up with those of a bigger statue-- which was something along the lines of what Cena said when he had a go at Vince that time xD man is legend, seriously. And, gah, Ted and Evan feud would kill me so dead... It would be as sexy as the mini Legacy reunion where JoMo was just thrown in as an extra. No offence and all JoMo haha, but you know no one was paying attention to you! When Maryse came out in that outfit I was like o.O "WTF is she wearing?" I mean, really!

Lol, yeah, I know what you mean. When I'm doing fics I usually do pretty alright beginnings, and then when I need to take it somewhere I'm like o.O "Um... Yeah..." and then I have no idea what to write xD I used to spend most of my lunchtimes in secondary school just writing openings for my fav pairings and absently listening to the conversations around me. And then someone would ask me something and I'd need a few minutes to return to reality-- especially if I was writing about Legacy xDD for obvious reasons. And, yup, if it doesn't amuse you, then what's the point?

[Trash]

Love that suggestion for a Ted shirt! That would totally work. And I'd wear it. Gah, I can't watch Smackdown tonight because I said I'd go out with friends and I'm really not in the mood - I'd rather watch Smackdown actually, lol, and then I could 'do the funky mirror' as one of the kids I was watching today kept insisting on singing. That mirror jacket is awesomesauce, he needs to wear it to the ring - I guess they think it might screw with the cameras or something? Depending on how the light is reflected... meh, I'm no good with that kind of consideration. And now I'll laugh myself stupid if he comes out wearing it.

Evan needs that push again! He gets way more of a reaction when he goes out there than a lot of people who get more TV time. And I'm willing to bet that he sells more shirts, heh heh. Oddly, I was reading in powerslam that WWE has a five year contract for the toys with Mattel and one of the contractual conditions was toning the product down quite a bit. Yeesh, I hope that's inaccurate (the conditions, not the contract) because I want my gratuitous violence back! And now I sound crazed, but you don't have to have guys bleeding in every match to have at least a little realism in a couple where they do. Incidentally there's a rather nice picture of Randy on the back page XD. Not that I stared at it for a really long time or anything.

Ha, Maryse's 'bumblebee-esque' outfit, that cracked me up. It wasn't the most flattering thing for her to wear, but Cole on commentary made it so much better - trying to find something nice to say about the ladies, ha. Oh, and I managed to catch NXT this last week too, it was rather good. Cody's little tantrum, plus lots more of him elsewhere. And geek that I am, I got all the questions on the trivia section right, bar one that I knew I knew, but couldn't quite put it into my brain before the answer was given. Oh yes, we want Mizzy on commentary prior to the inevitable US championship match with him and DB. Because that really would be awesome.

The throne definitely was a KOTR cast-off! Maybe they're trying to justify still having it knocking around, lol. Raw on DVD would work wonders for me too and I'm putting serious thought into getting one of those recordable DVD players to tape the PPVs. Because I don't already have enough DVDs lying around the place already *laughs*

[Kurt "Fashionista" Hummel]

Ooh... Randy picture xD I want a poster-sized one of him with just the towel. And then John, Ted, Cody and Evan (and Chris) with the towels too. Or baby oil. Or nothing. Or baby-oil and nothing, y'know *hints to WWE* because, damn, pictures like that would sell like hotcakes! Ahem... Bad image with that pun registering in my pervy mind XD. If they sell Cody jackets I would buy one and never take it off. Haha, I'd be like little kids that permanently live in their dressing-up costumes and their mother's have to take it off them whilst they sleep to wash it xD If he has a t-shirt Imma buy it... Dunno if I want the Teddy one though... Cause I feel like I'd be wearing his dad's shirt :/ and not his.

Violence! Violence damn it! At least where there was blood a lot of the matches and storylines were more realistic. Like if someone got jumped backstage and had their head banged off a monitor-- no blood = no fun. And, yes, I am rather bloody thirsty xD. One thing that annoys me about people when you sometimes mention wrestling: when they go, "Oh, it's fake!" and it's like *rolls eyes* "So what? It's no different than watching a film or something where that's fake. Just because it's scripted what happens doesn't mean it takes any less talent and skill!" me and my friend ended up having a massive rant at someone once because they were being a prig about it lol. And, speaking of pictures before, my sister promised to buy me a life-size Cody Rhodes cardboard cut-out... And Imma hold her to that ;P

Awww... I missed NXT >.< my mum's bf took it off the TV planner and I forgot about it. I was intending to watch this series, cause of Cody being in it, but then I just ended up forgetting about it. The ones I have seen though were nothing special-- though that "Kissing Contest" one still makes me feel sick lol. Ooh, ooh, y'know John-John said something about Justin Gabriel's "Alternative thinking?" Apparently it sparked rumours that he was gay, but then they apparently reported he's actually with Kelly Kelly-- but then she apparently denied it haha, so, y'know, no idea. It made me chuckle though because on facebook "Cody" is apparently engaged to "Barbie Blank" i.e. "Kelly Kelly." And "Eve Torres" is apparently with "Zack Rhyder." If either was true I'm sure it'd be on the gossip/spoiler sites somewhere xD

Lol, not to sound creepy or stalker-esque with this thought, but I just had the thought that if you and I shared a house or flat there would probably be wrestling stuff everywhere, it'd be always recording on TV and we would find any excuse to go and see it xD Ahem, yeah, not that I'm planning on having wrestling posters and such all over my flat if I get one *innocent*

[Trash]

Ha, I actually have a Randy poster by my computer – it lives there. It’s not actually up on the wall, this is my way of saying, “Me, obsessed? No! See, the poster does not live on the wall, it lives atop the non-functioning laptop!” And in permanent full view of me, lol. And yeah, if we shared, wrestling stuff would be all over – “Screw family photos, we’ve got our figures playing out a fight scene on that shelf!” Heh, you’ll be in the halls of residence this time next year and able to decorate it with all the posters you like – including a giant Randy one, maybe with a Priceless in the corner. That’s how I was setting mine up, but with me probably moving soon I’m not really up for putting stuff up only to take it down five minutes later, lol.

Oh, not up for ADR’s push. Rey does a masterful job in making an opponent look so damn good, a lesson that other wrestlers would do well to learn. But to some unproven guy who doesn’t seem to fit the part...? Questionable. He needs to defeat someone else to make himself convincing. If Mysterio had been against someone like Kane, then yeah. But against Alberto? Nah, not buying it. I just don’t see how it would work, ADR needs some other victories before I’m thinking he’s more than just some jabroni... and it’s not like pushes have been going well for WWE lately (Evvie... *sighs*)

Oh. My. God. Cody’s grooming tips this week... I should not have watched that the moment I walked in after a night on the lash. I died! Attracting the opposite sex – sorry Codes, we all know that you’re not really up for that part, heh heh. I’ve heard rumours of him dating this person or that person, my nephew reckons he heard something about him dating Velvet Sky of all people (I think all the beautiful people have such weird looking faces). But I guess either they’re not that serious or else he’s incredibly close mouthed about it.

Did you hear that Luna Vachon has died? I know at one point she was married to Gangrel (I think they divorced though, not sure) and she used to manage Golddust. She rather freaked me out when I was a kid. Heh, I went to Goldie’s twitter to see what he had to say on the matter and it’s been updated since, saying he’s driving with ‘The Dashing One’ who’s trying to pluck Goldie’s eyebrows while he’s driving. I have no idea why I find that as amusing as I do. Actually, I find all of Goldie’s twitters mentioning Cody sweet, he clearly thinks the world of baby brother.

Sorry, I’m all over the place today – I blame last nights sambuca. I quite liked the Undertaker’s speech, for one thing it suggested that this might be his last run – although I thought that Kane should be involved in that, I’m not sure that it should be him who ends Undi’s run. I’m undecided. I tend to think it should be a legend, but who? There really isn’t anyone and Kane is always involved in Undi’s life – I just don’t think he’s that good, although I liked the gimmick. Oh, and I did a couple of icons that aren’t great, I was gonna share them anyway but then realised I mis-spelled a word and since they weren't that great, I'll wait until I've done them right! *is an idiot*

[Kurt "Fashionista" Hummel]

lol I have a little John Cena poster (a very fine what at that) on a tiny cupboard door in my room, and three posters I got from house-shows/live shows. I have one that's kinda old in terms of what brand people are on, but it has John-John, Randeh, Teddeh and Coddles-- all it needs is Evvy and it would be perfect! They usually are some pretty good ones sold by blokes outside the arenas after the shows... I don't think I'll be able to buy anymore though unless I take one down xDD My friend Amy reckons she's gonna steal 'em all when I'm outta the house... So I know who to go to if my walls are suddenly bare xD Lol, when I get my own place there will be wrestling stuff all over *whistles innocently* Me: "Obsessed? I know not what you mean!" *innocent*

Alberto Del-Frigging Rio (Yeah, DNW >.<) is apparently being sent right to the top almost ASAP; apparently they have him in line as Heavyweight Champ soon, which I think is colossal bollocks! He's brand new to the show, and I honestly have no idea why they are making such a big fuss about him-- he's just a Mexican (Spanish, whatever he is) JBL wannabe; it's not as though he's the relation of some major famous legend or anything like that *rolls eyes* They're pushing him for Champ because they apparently want to make him the major Latino star. I was like, "No, that's Rey, dickweeds!"


Oh Lord *dies all over again just thinking about it* that grooming tip was... I should not have found that sexy, but I did. He's not joking about the "Attracts the opposite sex bit" (because God knows it attracts me!) but we all know that that isn't the reason why he himself does it haha. So far, on the relationship front (apart from Teddy, y'know, obviously) the only things my mum's bf has heard is that Cody's got this on-off girlfriend who he's been seeing for ages or something, but I have no idea if they're still together now. As if you let go of Coddles o.o woman needs shooting... Not that Teddy minds xD

No I didn't hear that about Luna Vachon (the name rang a bell, but she didn't register in my head so I had a look-- I can see why she used to freak you out as a kid o.o wow) that's pretty sad. Seems there's a lot of old wrestlers and such passing on in the past few years. Awww Coddles and Goldie xD I was well stunned when I first found out those two were related, but when you see Goldust without the makeup on you can tell he looks like their dad. I saw an interview he did on Goldust once and some of the things Cody said were really sweet XD things like sneaking to watch his brother on TV when he had been in rows with his dad or something.

I thought that imagery of building the Devil's house was actually rather epic myself xD Kane's freaky laugh still makes me think of Teddy Sr's though. Each and every time. ^_^''' lol I try not to let my mind conjure Teddy Snr when I hear Kane's laugh, but it doesn't work xD And yeah, I know what you mean. It has to be someone pretty mint to end The Phenom, but I don't think they have anyone established enough on Smackdown to do it *shakes head* apparently he was meant to retire a few months back. And n'aawwwww I can't wait to see these icons xD I needs some new ones and am looking forward to seeing what you've made-- I bet they're completely mint.

[Trash]

You can see some similarities in Codes and Goldie, but I think you have to be actually looking for them, they’re not immediately obvious. At first, I didn’t think that Cody looked much like Dusty but when you take a proper look, they really have some facial similarities, only Dusty’s are all buried under blubber when Cody’s are a lot sharper. It’s the face and the set of the jaw I think. Goldie shares a few of those features but not all of them... heh, I was reading about Goldie’s 1990’s career recently, which when you know the family relationship sorta makes Cody’s age startling. But then, all of my siblings are old enough to be my parents, I don’t know why I find it so surprising in other families. Give Cody 20 years and a love of junk food and he’ll resemble them more... and if any passing deity is listening, please never give Cody a love of junk food! I think Ted looks more like his dad. But if we’re going for similarities, Randy really doesn’t look that much like his (or maybe because I never saw Cowboy Bob wrestle, he’s not as fresh in my mind as others are). Mike McGuilli-whatever doesn’t remind me of his dad at all, in his features. DH Smith does, in the jaw again. Nattie, in her attitude, really does remind me of her dad, even if they don’t obviously ressemble one another (hell, now I’m thinking of Natalya as a bearded lady, lol). Husky, a teeny bit – ha! And I found it hilarious that Husky’s dad got beat up by the Nexus.

ADR as champ, TOO SOON!! I might be able to get behind him at a later point as heel champ, he’s competent enough in ring and all that. But his gimmick is OLD – I mean, born better, haven’t we seen that before? And DONE better? Physically he looks mid-card, the gimmick is unbelievably weak and alienates huge parts of the fan base. And the ethnic thing doesn’t work for me either. You know whose nationality gimmick works for me? Wade Barrett. English but not playing the snob, probably he edits himself a little to be understood (I know if I ever stood in front of an American audience, they’d need subtitles) but not to the extent he loses his accent or anything. And it’s not an issue. And wanting to be like JBL – ack! As I’ve already mentioned, there are no words for how much disgust and loathing I have for that man. *deep breath* I’m not going to dignify that slug with any more of my thoughts. But yeah, Rey IS part of a legacy and although it might not be a WWE one, neither was family Guerrero! They can make it work, should they choose to. The trouble with that right now being how knackered Rey is. He needs time off, bad. But then, who cares if a guy is American or English or Latino or whatever? Yeah, I tend to be a bit more behind someone like Sheamus because of his nationality (“One of us!” the kids shout when I’m watching them and watching Raw with them) but it’s not a huge issue. I’m more about the character. Hell, that was a long rant XD.

That grooming tip was just – omg! I was trying to peek under his towel, heh heh (and I might add that there was an awful lot of hip showing there, like no undies or very high-leg undies). No one likes a hairy bloke, but I’m not sure I can get behind an obviously shaving bloke either! One of those things we pretend doesn’t exist, lol. And Ted Seniors laugh – the reason I put in one of the RPs about Teddy imitating it was because I used to try constantly when I was a kid and never quite managed it. I love that laugh. I can see how Kane’s is similar looking back, but it wasn’t an association I made until you mentioned it. Ted seniors was better though (if I’d been older, I would have had a major crush heh heh).

Taker does need someone epic to take him down, which was one of the reasons that him taking down Michaels worked so well at WM. But there isn’t a single person I can think of, on Raw or Smackdown, that would fit. The only name to spring to mind is Triple H *shudders* We do not need that glorified jabroni getting more power! So, Kane fits. But it’s never gonna be an epic match without a major gimmick, like the Fire one they had that one time (and it was dead obvious who was gonna win when Undi came out sleeveless and Kane had the one sleeve). Never gonna happen in the PG world.

Heh, I bought the Rumble 2010 on DVD yesterday – unfortunately I was hit by my patented ‘DVD curse’. I can’t watch a whole one unless I’m doing something else. I can sit and watch a whole PPV when I’m on the comp at the same time, even if I’ve just got my fingers on the keyboard and I’m gawping at the screen. But if I actually sit and watch with the intention of paying attention – bang! I’m asleep in about five seconds. It’s not just sports, it’s films too (I’ve seen the first five minutes of a lot of films). I had ice cream, so I managed to get through the Legacy match (I skipped ahead to there) but I was completely gone half-way through Mysterio/ Undertaker. Incidentally, cookie dough ice cream + Legacy = winning combination. I’ll have to put it on while I’m using the computer tonight.And I’m rather looking forward to the NOTC build up on Raw tomorrow, might be interesting to see if WWE are gonna do anything about opponents for the Hart Dynasty. Chucking a couple of under-used wrestlers together might actually work (and it’s how other entertaining combos have formed in the past, could work. Me, I’d have a four corners contenders match (are there even enough tag teams for that kind of thing?) with three established and one accidental. And then have some kind of story line to force the GM to have Ted work with Evvy (I want them on the damn PPV!). Leading to a completely mis-matched combo and amusing back-stage skits where they’re trying to learn to at least get along and defeat the Harts, plus a feud somewhere down the line. I really need to stop harping on about those two working together.

I’ve got a couple of images, they’re not very good because I really couldn’t think of captions for what I have. But enjoy!

[Kurt "Fashionista" Hummel]

Oh yes... I want that sandwich so bad xD srsly. With a side order of Evvy and John-John. *whistles* I'll share with you though, cause, y'know, wrestling chats haven't been this epic in a long time-- thanks to you, and the fact that we have a similar sort of thought process for this sort of thing. And, gah, cute image on Codiasi that was apparently tweeted by Goldie; some cute tweets going with it along the lines of, "Must go and talk to my bro, Cody doesn't like me tweeting when he's here." Which, y'know, may be true... But considering most images of Cody show him with his phone in his hand my bets is that he must be texting Teddy a lot. A lot a lot. That's one area, mentioning looks and physique, where I think wrestlers can struggle; the buffness looks great when they are younger, but then when they get older it either a) looks odd, or b) turns into sort of muscley fat instead... Considering that such tenuous workout sessions aren't really condusive to the older generation I think that it's really easy for them to let themselves go; after being so careful on exercise and diet they must enjoy being able to just kick back and relax a little bit lol. And, in terms of the Divas looks, I once asked whether it must be a requirement to have breasts of a certain size... Or whether breast augmentation was covered under company policy or something. I don't make a habit of looking, but Jillian's breasts are just unnervingly big. O.o.

Lol ranting is good. Very good. And yup, yup sucks ass. I hate JBL probably as much as you do, but I was watching a video the other day and it was Miz back on Smackdown when he had that ridiculous blonde mohawk thing (no Mizzy, just no) going on, and JBL was MC's broadcasting partner-- the way MC was all fangirly over Miz even then made me smile, and the way JBL was slagging him off and getting miffed when Michael was going that "hoo-rah!" thing Miz used to do, made me sit there sniggering, "Ha ha JBL, MC is not interested in you-- that's his future husband up there." MC and MM is as much true-love as Coddles and Teddy, and that is trufax. John and Randy follow in on that group too xD Every time I see the little plain ring that Randy wears when he is in the ring, all I can think is, "John gave him that ring..." forget his wife, John Cena is really Randy Orton's missus ;P On the front of nationalities (I'm all over the place, sorry lol xD) I always wonder whether the British accents -like from Regal and Layla- are just seemingly more outstanding considering that they are around Americans all the time, or whether (as my mum suggested) that the management just make them talk like that because that is generally how we are perceived by Americans. And, then, that makes us all laugh because we say that they should come down and see what English people really sound like haha. They'd be in for a shock then!

Ahem, speaking of the grooming tip, my laptop background is currently Cody in his hotel-room/towel from his grooming tip segments, and the mirror is reflecting me a perfect view of Cody's ass on the opposite side of the screen, haha. Yeah, in a way a bloke who shaves is questionable *cough*Cody has outed himself even more now*cough* I must admit it is more aesthetically pleasing-- though it makes sense in a way when you consider it in the context of men and women. My friend Camilla doesn't understand what I find attractive about wrestlers, and I'm like O.o "Are you serious?" but then she fancies ancient rockers so I didn't hold her opinion in much stead xP Most of my friends who see a picture of Cody that I have on my phone though go, "OMG who is that?" And I'm just like, "Uh huh, yeah-- that would be Cody." My phone background is a picture of Teddy I took at the 02 earlier this year haha.

I hate PG. So bad. It sucks ass-- according to Cody in an interview the PG thing started before Linda McMahon started her Senate run, and I was just thinking, "Psh, nice try Codes, but you aren't fooling anyone on that score." Look at the way Wrestling is back on the older videos and such, and you can see the way the 'violence' and so by proxy the 'realistic value' of wrestling has gone down in such a relatively short time. I'm looking forward to the RAW tonight/tomorrow, because apparently they're going to be pitting LayCool against one another to determine which one of them is the actual champion-- finally, that annoying gimmick will be over!

Yay, Evvy and Teddy... They need more PPV action. Although, I would like to see another Legacy reunion sometime including Codes as well lol. Evan and Teddy... I could see that working in a way, because although Ted is somewhat more of a powerhouse than Evan, the difference isn't so great that they wouldn't be able to mesh well together; look how awesome it was when Randy and Evan teamed together, and faced one another. I still can't get that Air-Bourne into an RKO out of my head-- and the way Randy interracted with Evan was so adorable... Little smirk at MITB = <3. Ooh... Ice-cream and Legacy factored into my mind in such a different way when I read that haha xD. I think the GM thing's taking the piss too for how long that has been running on; the fact that you can see the massive long word-document that Michael reads from when the camera pans onto the laptop just makes me laugh, because you can tell it's essentially a script for him to tote off; unless of course the GM turns out to be someone really awesome and they can just type really fast lol. I could see some mish-mash tag-team being Evan and Ted, and I think they would work as a good team. The Hart Dynasty are Ok, but I think they're kinda like LayCool in terms of the fact that they just don't seem to actually do much. I do think they are good in the ring, but I think they're just loosing ring presence, and the conjunction between The Hart Dynasty and Brett Hart is just a bit... Yeah, Ok, seen that now, been there done that. They could do with rebuilding the tag-scene somewhat... Not with Coddles and Drew though >.> no way. Teddy would not have that.

[Trash]

Thanks! I haven’t had much of a chance to talk to anyone about my wrestling obsessions recently, so it’s always good to have a place to chat and throw thoughts around and I enjoy doing that with someone who thinks like me and enjoys a perv (I usually end up talking wrestling with guys and they never appreciate me describing a wrestler as ‘bitable’, lol).

As I understand it, the women aren’t made to have fake boobs added before they join up but are ‘strongly encouraged’ to, so that they fit in with the overall look of the division. Out of all the girls in recent years, I think only Stacy Keibler got away with not having any put in (and she was advised to, but refused – not that she needed work done because she looked just fine natural, but it made everyone elses inflated hooters look really obvious). And I know that Serena paid for hers out of her own pocket, so that she would be more likely to get a job. That’s rather sad isn’t it, when the size of their boobs is more important than whether or not they can actually wrestle? Then again, the guys are under similar pressure about their looks, although thankfully not to have double Ds implanted – there’s an image I could have done without. There’s no way you can avoid looking at the breasts sometimes, and you have to wonder how they find clothes that fit over the chest and doesn’t make them look like they’re secretly twenty stone or shoot buttons all over the place like deadly weapons whenever they take a deep breath.

I think most of the English guys definitely put it on, Regal’s most obviously and Layla’s not so much (I’m too busy cringing to even notice her accent to be honest). Barrett’s isn’t being used as a character point though thank goodness, and that still stands out among all the Americans. Makes me wonder how much of Rey’s accent is put on, not that I’d ever be able to tell that part (and why the WWE still seem to think it’s a good idea). And in TNA, they don’t make such a big deal of it, although they have a surprising amount of English guys on the roster so you don’t notice it quite so much I think. Speaking of TNA, they showed a frigging awesome tag match with the Motor City Machine Guns and Generation Me that managed to restore my faith that tag wrestling might not be completely dead (didn’t do much for my faith in TNA creative given that recent tag matches should be main event stuff, they’ve been so good). Well worth catching again and judging by crowd reaction, fans can really get behind stuff like that.

Ted and Evvy, yeah, I could go for – there could be the problem I mentioned with Cody, of being labeled a tag wrestler for life, but given that the way I suggested it would be more of a random pairing and everyone would be aware of it, the novelty would be something abit more like Rated RKO or Show-Miz; never gonna last but fun while it does. Whereas Cody and Drew don’t have that kind of luxury, Drew’s unpopular (although to his credit, he’s improving out there and seems serious about it all). Cody has also lost a lot of popularity since being drafted and I’m not sure that guys know quite what to make of the grooming tips (although I get a kick out of them). With them actually being both heels and seeming to get along okay, it’d seem a bit more like they were in for the long haul and that’s not making progress for either, that’s treading water.

I’m way too behind Ted/ Evan tagging though, I’ve been coming up with promos all morning – I’m such a geek. Like Ted trying to make Evan less embarrassing for him to hang around with – “How did I end up with a partner who likes playing video games all the time?” Oh, veiled references to Cody and Maryse scaring the crap out of Evan with her inflated boobs in his face, I could enjoy that totally. Oh, and I saw Goldie’s pictures of Cody! So amusing some of the stuff on there, you can imagine Cody telling him to quit with the pictures and stuff and every time he’s completely engrossed texting Ted – snap! Heh, more Randy and Evan interaction definitely needed! The little things they’ve done together work so well, even though the styles are so different.

[Kurt "Fashionista" Hummel]

That's a sad knowledge isn't it? It's sending out a pretty bad message too; young girls, and even some adult women are self-conscious about their breast size (whether too big or too small) and to prject the image that they won't get anywhere in such businesses unless they have massive great hooters isn't a good message... It makes me think of the "Piggy James" segment on Smackdown before she left. I really hated that segment, because I always felt so sorry for Mickie; it might have been for her job, but those types of comments can really play on a woman's psyche whether she expects them or not, and I always thought that Mickie was one of the most natural, pretty Divas on the two brands anyway. Such segments are giving the same message as the inflated breast thing, but it is more in the terms of "It's better to be a size 0 than natural and healthy." Whenver people mention diets and stuff to me -I've never been on one lol, I'm a good weight for my height and I like my food too much to cut any of it out XP- I always say that, "As long as I'm not too far or too skinny then I don't really care." I understand such enhancements and stuff can help people's self-esteem and such, but really...

Gah... I turn the volume down as much as possible when LayCool come on the TV, because I just can't stand that stereotypical American teenage girl thing. *shudders* I actually think I would pop them in the mouths just to make them shut up if they ever talked like that around me. Haha, speaking of an odd combination, what about Kelly-Kelly and Big Show? That amuses me for some reason. I think it's more-so for once that you can tell it's not some unrealistic relationship thing, it's just a friendship thing for once. My little brother can only really say Kelly-Kelly's name for the Divas, and it's actually rather cute when he sees her and points her out lol. It sort of sounds like he's saying, "Curly-Curly" or something-- He's like 2 and a half now, and he can actually imitate and name a lot of wrestlers, and he can even pick them out of pictures and stuff xD I can't take all the credit for that though... When he was like a year old, less than that, he always did John Cena's U Can't C Me whenever I came into the room haha. My sister says we've ruined the kid XPP. I say we've just given him the best education concerning sports-entertainment.

Lol, yeah, Ted would be stood there adjusting his designer suit or something and then the camera would pan onto Evan dressed in some jeans and a t-shirt with a comic-book open on his lap or something... That would be so adorable. Or, y'know, incredibly sexy if Ted got Evan into a suit like what he wears. Yes, I really do wanna perv on Evan all dressed nicely in a suit, lol, because I think he's gorgeous enough in casual that seeing him all done up would be pretty amazing. And Maryse would really scare him, haha xD She'd be all talking French at him and all over Ted and Evan'd just be stood to the side sort of eying them both wearily and being all, "Riiighhhtt... Ok then." I would so completely fangirl over it, and I struggle enough to hide my fangirl tendancies from my family as it is anyway haha.

Goldie: *takes another picture of Cody*
Cody: *pouting* Damnit, stop taking pictures of me!
Goldie: *arches brow* I'll bet you never said that to Ted, did you?"
Cody: *about to respond, then pauses, eyes widening and blushing* H-How did you know about those?!
Goldie: *pulls a face slightly at the thought of his little brother's dirty pictures with his long-term lover, but then merely gives Cody a mysterious look* Little brother, I know everything.

Lol, I could see Ted being like this with his little brother Brett xD It's quite unnerving really how similar the two of them look, I think; give Brett a bit more weight and muscle and then he could be the spit of Ted. At least, in my mind he could. I don't think I've ever seen a picture of Mike DiBiase, now I think about it, though I heard he wrestles too...

[Trash]

Heh, I’m typing this up while watching Raw and trying to muster the enthusiasm to hang clothes – so there's spoilers and if you haven't watched yet, might want to leave off reading this until later on, lol. Quite fitting that Undi was there because he was on the first Raw but I’m not real pleased about the main event – Undi’s a Smackdown guy and it’s not like Bret’s able to wrestle anymore. I think he’s got some legal issue there as well, regarding a big insurance payout he got when he had that major concussion and stroke. And MC and his Miz love is awesome – “Finally, the major league team!”

And I just announced a certain someone REALLY LOUDLY because I got the shock of my life when he walked out – a lot less bloody happy when they announced his partner *displeased* The mirror jacket though, the mirror jacket, awesomesauce! They could have given it more time though and the Smackdown guys were treated like jabroni’s *even less pleased* Heh, think there was a reunion of the Baby Oil Club in the back before the show – and Drew wasn’t invited?

Randy: Cody’s here! And I just got a large bottle of Johnson’s baby oil! Let the reunion commence!
*Legacy crowd into the locker room, Drew tries to follow and gets stopped at the door*
TedL You’re not invited. Get. Out.
Drew: But...
Ted: OUT! And by the way, you lay a finger on Cody and I’ll shove this bottle right up your ass and not in the good way. Okay?
Drew *leaves sulking, runs into Evan* Forget it, they won’t let anyone else in.
Evan: Nah, they just won’t let you in. I’m invited! I’m glad Cody’s here, no one can oil up that tricky spot on the back of the thighs like he can!
Drew: *shouting after Evan as he bounds off* Why do you need your thighs oiled? You wear tights! *tries to storm off, comes up against John* Oh hell, not you too?
John: Me too, get outta my way or I’m gonna be at the back of the Cody-queue and no one gets to the back of the thighs like he does!
Drew: But you wear – oh FORGET IT!!

Shit, I think Taker’s entrance was longer than Cody’s whole match! Way to screw up priorities WWE! IT was a rather laborious segment I thought and at least Bret didn’t wrestle – much more interested in the next match! Oh yeah, this is worth it – oh wait. *sighs* Maybe not. Jeez, who in Creative did Evan piss off? Or Jack for that matter? Not only is their (pretty good) match intersected with some dudes entrance, but a beatdown after? Shit, what was the point of that? So many run-ins and bloody pointless happenings, and just when I think something good’s gonna happen, I get disappointed all over again. And Mark Henry saving him then shouting ‘do that to me’, like Evan needs Mister Boy-Boobs to save him. Urgh, infuriating!

Do rather like Punk reminding everyone of Katie Vick though (that was horrific, a whole new low). Would have thought he’d go after Austin more for the beer drinking thing (the Rock was always barely able to touch the beers he shared with Austin). And speaking of Austin, I fell for it, heh heh. Got a kick out of some of the clips – I don’t think there’s gonna be any clips of this nights work on the thousandth show, unless the main event pulls out something special. It’s been kind of a long ad for Smackdown in places! And no Teddy either, what the hell’s up with that?! What, we couldn’t have had a reunion for ONE night? It would have made way more sense and made the fans way happier than McIntrye! It wasn’t as if there was even a winner of the match, it wasn’t like they’d ever have to do it again!

And to the main event – started lame! Jericho bailing and Edge DQ’d, fucking abysmal. I liked the little smirk on Jericho’s face during the whole thing but seriously, bad booking there. Really bad. If we’re gonna have a cheap re-hash of SS, can’t we at least leave out all the in-fighting that went on before? I mean, they could have at least been counted out due to infighting outside the ring. A wild Jericho/ Cena brawl and John accidentally getting Chris counted out would have worked just that much better. And holy hell, is Randy supposed to be some kind of huge wuss? He did two moves, both RKO’s, gets one wasteland (and not a convincing one at that) and is covered? Shit, that was horrible! If he’d been in the ring before and got a kicking, ok, I could buy it. But he barely did a thing! That’s it, I declare this weeks Raw craptastic. Really disappointing, after all the hype and how good it could have been. Completely wasted opportunities all over, utterly frustrating. You just know my next post is gonna be titled ‘How I Would Have Booked Raw And Why It Would Have Rocked Way More’, lol.

[Kurt "Fashionista" Hummel]

Lol, Michael on the Miz was funny... Though I really didn't like Miz's new t-shirt. I saw it and was thinking, "Awww, no... Miz, no!" I thought the match was shit too: Miz gets belted and knocked down for ages, Kaval's kicking ass, and then he pops up lands a move and then wins... I hate matches like that, but especially when there was always the potential for something else happening which would have been better. I knew that Brett vs Undi wouldn't happen, but I didn't see Kane with Nexus. I scoffed at that-- so unrealistic. And I thought the Rock might come out, because of the way they went on about him, and I believed the Stone Cold thing at first, but then remembered what Punk had done concerning the Undertaker (when Gallows dressed up) and was like, "Oh, you have just pissed off a whole arena of fans... I hope they bray you." xD

Mirror jacket! Unf, mirror-jacket FTMFW! When I saw it I was like, "Mum! Mum, look!" and I told her about the person who'd posted about it on LJ, though I didn't say what sight it was lol. Baby Oil Boys' Club! Woot! Hells yeah... Would explain Teddy's absence, though I wasn't happy about said absence obviously... Urgh, Drew. What part of, "You are not good enough to be in Cody's league are you not getting?" And, ack, the Divas thing-- I knew that was happening, though out of the three poss winners I actually want Melina. Cause I hate LayCool as much as Drew.

Drew: *pouting and muttering before their match*
Cody: *exits locker-room, followed by an oily Ted, Randy, Evan and John* We so need to do that again soon! *nuzzles Ted*
Ted: *smirks* Oh yeah... *admires the way light shines off of Cody's skin before reluctantly helping his lover on with his jacket.*
Drew: What the hell took so long?
Cody: *trades a look with the other members of their private club* We were, ahem, sampling, a new product.
Drew: *stares at them and then storms off in a tantrum because he gets why they were all flushed and smug*
Cody: *sighs* Oh, brilliant. He's bitchy enough as it is. *wrinkles his nose* I can't believe they put me with someone as undashing and as unattractive as him!
Ted: *kisses Cody* That's because, baby, there's no one, barring myself, who is attractive enough to work with you.
John, Randy and Evan: *all clear throats and arch brows*
Ted: *sighs before conceding* Fine. I suppose one of you lot could pass... *smirks and draws Cody close* But I'm the top one.
Cody: *about to leave, when Matt Striker suddenly peeks around the corner* What the hell are you doing here?
Matt Striker: *about to respond, but then runs away after Drew McIntyre as Ted suddenly bolts after him brandashing the baby-oil bottle.
Cody: *sighs* He warned him. *looks to the time* See you guys later! *follows after the other three*

*sniffle* Evvy! I was not happy-- Alberto Del-Fucking Rio go back to were you came from and piss off! It's pretty pathetic that he keeps attacking smaller guys when they've been injured/beaten by someone previously. When he came out, me and my mum were both like, "Oh, God, no!" xD my mum hates him and likes Evvy, so I could fangirl in front of her. I was ashamed of Michael for supporting ADR there. It was *shakes head* Oh, Michael, no... I loved how Jerry Lawler wasn't impressed even a little bit when he came out. And, I am glad someone came out to help Evvy (because usually the faces don't get any help whereas the heels do) but when I saw Mark Henry I was like, "Yay! Oh... Never mind." I was thinking Teddy was gonna come out xD I think I'm as obsessed with them tagging as you.

Punk coming out with Gallows and Mercury (and, did you notice? No Serena) made me a bit puzzled, considering Punk has been all, "Get better or get out!" to the S.E.S and Gallows lost to Big Show on Friday night (y'know, I think Big Show looks really good in a suit, for a big guy) but then I figured they would probably have any reprocussions on that on Friday night. And, yeah, Ted should have come out and sat on commentary or something for Cody's match... And then ran in to save his BB when JoMo and R-Truth started going for him. He'd only save Cody though, cause, y'know, as far as he's concerned Drew can get his head smashed in. *whistles innocently* I wanted another tender moment like after Hell in a Cell when Cody had had that Sweet-Chin Music and Sledgehammer shot whilst the metal chair was around his neck... That was so sweet afterwards when Teddy was all worried... And then looking like he was gonna kill Trips when he was touching Cody and being all sarcastic xD.

Gah, don't even mention the main event >.< I was not impressed even a little bit. The Jericho thing, in hindsight, was so predictable, and so was Edge. It's like, "Pfft, you guys claim you're amazing, and you do that." I was pretty impressed for once that Sheamus of all people managed to be a team-player, though was seriously disappointed with the lack of Centon action! I was waiting for some spectacular things like an RKO out of the AA or something... But no. And yeah, the one move from Justin Gabriel (I mean, really?) takes out Cena? After the incredible beat-downs we see him bounce back from, one move? And urgh, yup, Wade Barrett completely killed my Randy mojo with that move. I saw that Randy nearly pulled out of it, which made me chuckle, because that must have been a reflexive, "Are you fucking kidding me? I am going down like this?!" At least, that was what I would have been thinking. Lol, seriously, we should write into Vince with some suggestions... We'd probably get better ratings than the current creative. I was pretty disappointed with RAW overall-- I had to admit I was expecting some comebacks or something, considering it was episode 900 and all *rolls eyes*.

[Trash]

How I would have booked the 900th episode of Raw: An essay by Trash. Who has lost her mind.

Opening credits: put Ted in. Because I thought I was going crazy when I couldn’t see him, I figured he had to be in there somewhere, but apparently he really isn’t. Jeez, one screen shot isn’t hard, they’ve got like a hundred of John and he’d loan one to Ted.

First segment: Let it run. Only the GM says they’ll have the match right now and that frees up a ton of time. Hell, Taker can do his big entrance then too and it’d still be less annoying (have you noticed how he raises his coat like a girl with a long dress on when he climbs the stairs? Ill-advised camera angle there). We don’t need all the dongs. Nexus comes out and just beats down Taker... actually, the dongs were quicker, so okay.

Second: NXT with pros. Keep it in, but change the action. Miz doesn’t need to sell for that long, but the finish stays the same and the run-in after does too. Incidentally, I hope MIz is joking with the new shirt too. It’s kinda funny as a one-off, but no way as a regular feature. Let the rookies show off (I use the ‘rookie’ term lightly) and then Miz and DB have their moment.

Three: Women’s title. I like that Melina beat Laycool, because after buying Rumble 2010 they really sicken me, even if they hadn’t with their pathetic Valley speak. Keep that win in – actually, I’d keep the match as it was, no changes made. Except that if they could all stop shrieking like they’re playing in the women’s final at Wimbledon? Thanks. It was short, but none of them are capable of going any longer. MM says the win is forgettable – the majority of Divas matches are. Too much truth. Incidentally, gotta wonder where all the girls are gonna end up if they’re unifying.

Segment Four: Backstage with Nexus. Wouldn’t be needed, since they were already in part one.

Segment Five: NO, Jericho. Just no. Don’t say you’ll quit if you don’t win, because it really buggers up belief in anything.

Six: Tag match. Do I have to spell it out? TED AS CODY’S PARTNER?!?! Heh, I have to laugh at MC because he echoes me whenever R-Truth comes on. I’m just waiting for the day he gives the mic to some smart-arse and he says ‘the sky!’. I would be pleased. Back to Priceless, would work on so many levels. If they really distrusted each other for example. And then after the match, the kick-off had gone different and they played the old Priceless music. Still a no-contest, but Ted and Cody in the ring after. And then Maryse giving Cody some looks and Ted’s like – “Oh no you don’t!” They could give each other some sideways looks and go their separate ways – for now.

Seven: Bret/ Taker. Doesn’t exist because it already happened in part one. Fifteen minutes that we could allocate some more time to Jomo/ R-Truth vs Cody and TED. And if Drew wants a match, put him against Mark Henry in the extra time. Drew would win. Henry’s expendable.

Eight: Jack/ Evan: Show the whole damn match. It’s not so much to ask from two of the best in WWE. Jack could win clean still, then ADR could turn up after the match and make his speech while walking down the aisle and do his thing. And the dude to make the save? Mysterio. One short guy to another, that would have worked a thousand times better.

Nine: SES. I’d keep this as it was actually. It was a good way of highlighting good points of Raw and the clips were cool. Also they mentioned Katie Vick, the worst ever, ever storyline in WWE and they acknowledged that – that rules. My argument remain s that they could cut about five minutes off it. This is Raw, not Smackdown.

Ten: Main Event. Like I said, I’d have Jericho get chucked out the ring, Cena lending a hand and Jericho giving his ‘I don’t need you’ stick and ending up brawling. Cena realising he got his own man counted out would have been cool and taken the (no pun intended) edge off Edge being DQ’d over the ref. Orton would have been tagged in at some point here and gotten the kicking of his life before tagging back to Sheamus and the match going on as it did. Means he would have looked less of a wuss, going down to one move.

Got that out of my system now, sorry. MC changed his tune about ADR once he’d let loose on Evan, so I can forgive him a little. Should’ve been Ted helping him out though, if not Mysterio – heh, I’m well on the side of the short guys, I personally only just graze five foot, so I like it when the little guy has the edge! Totally needed some Centon there. Although I noticed they seemed to be chatting at the start – and just before they cut to ads (this was really about ten seconds) John raised his eyebrows and smirked – and then Randy’s trunks came on screen, lol.

[Kurt "Fashionista" Hummel]

I liked your way so much better-- and not just because of the extra influx of Ted and Codes. They could have had the perfect little reunion/mini-feud thing for the night; the pair of them had so much history together, especially as Ted started into the business with Cody technically in terms of the big-leagues, and they've already had him in a few altercations with Randy... Come on, Creative. This sort of lagging might happen on Smackdown but we expect much better from RAW-- especially considering it was the 900th. If they don't do something pretty damned amazing for the thousandth episode, then I do actually believe that all hell would break loose from fans of the show worldwide.

Yeah, I don't know what will happen if they combine the titles... They Divas and Women's Championships were like the WWE and Heavyweight Championships for woman, and now it's just kinda like, "Meh, whatever..." and if they combine them, then it would be kept on only one show, right? And, as you said, that leads to the question of where that's going to leave the Divas which are on the brand which doesn't have the belt. It doesn't make sense to have the brand without the title working for a Number One Contender Spot, because it's not as though they could really have them continually hopping shows, and there would be no feud over the belt, which is what you need when you're considering a new champion... Yeah, I don't know why they're so gung-ho with all these championship merges recently.

I get that they have to have Undertaker all out of it and stuff still considering he's supposedly been in a coma for so long, but I just can't take him seriously with it, because to me it just seems to be highlighting his age. If I was him I would definitely be taking retirement soon, and I'd wanna end on a good note rather than a bad note, professionally. Even if it isn't with a championship take-back, I think it'd be good if he did one last thing, y'know? It's like Shawn Michaels; such an amazing career, and although Undertaker was someone of a similar precidence to take him down, I still wanted him to end on a win. The streak is impressive, don't get me wrong, but I always thought that if anyone could break the streak then it would have been the Heartbreak Kid. Oh... I've just had the thought of ADR making a go for him. Oh no, no no no no. Not ADR-- he is nowhere near good enough, damn it!

Jack and Evan really didn't get enough air-time. And, as I said, I'm glad Evvy got saved, though I would have much rather it be by Rey-- when everyone started freaking out in the audience I thought it was him, but then Mark Henry appeared and I was like O.o. Ok, that was unexpected. Shorty saving shorty would have been so cool, because I remember seeing them two teaming up and their high-flying mesh was amazing. And, since they're both considered to be under-dogs (though Rey is more recognised than Evan) it would have been even better. Though, it did make me think that Ted could have saved Evan and then blackmailed him into having to pay him back by partnering with him and such-like xD

This RAW was essentially an extended Smackdown episode, and I think everyone over on Codiasi was saying the same, lol. They could have done so much more with it, and the hype was completely unjustified. They usually don't do too bad when they merge the shows for the night, but this had to be the worst one in a while. If I had known it would have been that crap, I had to admit I wouldn't have been in such a rush to get it on the TV and watch it haha. So much potential, but once again it's just not being sorted out right.


Lol, yep, you can just imagine what their conversation was as they stood together on the turnbuckle:
John: *quietly, torn between amusement and disbelief* I can't believe you brought those handcuffs.
Randy: *sends John a sultry look* What? You know you like them.
John: *minutely embarrassed* I know... But do you really need to bring them into the bedroom as well as our matches?
Randy: Yes, yes I do. 'Cause then everyone in the world knows you submit to me and only me.
John: Last time I checked, YOU were the one submitting to the handcuffs.
*Both trade looks about the fact neither of them are the champ anymore, so they can't use their usual little private joke.*
John: That champ *indicates Sheamus* will never be here. *indicates them.*
Randy: *looks over John possessively* Damn right.
