[creepy]

So, I watch Raw tonight and I got a problem or two:


-Was there ever any doubt Hardy was going to take that match? And it seemed like too many moves were sloppy. And a lot of it was on Shelton, it seemed.
-Is Charlie Haas injured? He hasn't wrestled much lately (or maybe he has).
-What was up with all of those lame interviews about the Cena/Lashley match? To kill time? And they all said the same thing: Experience!!!~!!!`11!!!!! So, I guess Lashley wins?
-That Italian guy sucks. And whining about losing and wanting to quit? What a boner.
-Man, that Maria is a tard. I wonder how many dicks old bug eye has to suck to keep this gig.
-J.R. needs to retire.
-If Snitsky is so great these days, why isn't he doing something? Challenging for some title? Running in and fucking some one up for no reason?
-Did anyone actually think just a few years ago that in the summer of 2007, The Sandman and Hacksaw would be in the same WWE RAW ring watching each others backs? Damn, is the roster that thin?
-Speaking of Damn, can't they just pay him to stay at home now? Got old a long while back.
-I loved the way Kennedy punched Super Crazy in the face after he won the match as a little going away present to show that S.C. got under his skin and was tougher than he realized. Seemed to fit the character nicely.
-What the hell is this face off thing?
-So, quoting Billy Madison and saying he "never learned to read" while sobbing and then looking into the camera and saying "God Bless America" whilst in deep Texas being in front of a large hispanic community who, no doubt, probably include some hombres who have never learned to read english is supposed to make me like him? I've said it before and no doubt will say it again: Blacks and hispanics usually don't mix. (Cena is a black dude trapped in a whiteys body, right?)
-Thank god my DVR cut off RAW. And how come so much filler and then they still run over? I'm guessing I missed a staredown?

And why not a Tourny on Smackdown!? I know they have been down to death, but it'd kill the rest of the summer and buy some time for some returning stars. Maybe have a few guys from RAW or ECW come over and try to take advantage of the situation. And maybe they can lose respect on their respected brands for abandoning their shows. Start some new feuds. It'd bring something a little extra, I guess.

But I guess the show was taped tonight, so, too late.

I actually got caught up rooting for Shelton but only briefly considered him as an option because I was unclear as to whether WWE was looking to turn Umaga face. And the story seems to be "Haas mocks Shelton for his failures despite the fact Charlie hasn't won a match in 2 years" so getting destroyed by Umaga after being psyched up for an IC title match seemed like a reasonable place for Charlie to be a little too big of a dick ribbing his buddy on the trainer's table.

I don't think Charlie's hurt. I just think he's Charlie Haas and thus WWE isn't quite sure why they pay him.

-That Italian guy sucks. And whining about losing and wanting to quit? What a boner.

I do believe that's the point. At least that's my theory. He DOES suck and he IS a boner. Eventually the crowd will grow tired of that and I expect a heel turn on poor, sweet, trusting, warm hearted Maria at that stage.

-Man, that Maria is a tard. I wonder how many dicks old bug eye has to suck to keep this gig.

Them's fighting words. And CM Punk would be the answer to your question.

-J.R. needs to retire.

No argument here.

-If Snitsky is so great these days, why isn't he doing something? Challenging for some title? Running in and fucking some one up for no reason?

Snitsky sucks. But consider how WWE built up Umaga and Khali. Running in and fucking up some one for no reason. Considering the top of the card has Cena, Lashley, Kennedy, Orton, and Booker. HHH is returning. And there are NO established midcard faces and Umaga's already dominant heel monster in the midcard, I suspect WWE is just wasting time trying to build the guy up until they have a role for him. Honestly, I suspect RAW collected a whole bunch of talent in the draft with absolutely no concept of what they were going to do with it. They were just being greedy and hoarding folks. They've now realized they have too many people, Super Crazy is the #4 face, and are lost as to what to do. That they decided to book 2 of the 5 faces on the brand I can count (I'm not including the absent tag teams or Marello, but I am counting the Rhodes combination) against each other only makes it worse and reinforces my belief that they have the collective heads up their asses. I'm half suspecting they'll turn Lashley and Cody Rhodes at GAB and then end up with 3 faces vs about 10 heels. But Cena can handle those odds.

-Did anyone actually think just a few years ago that in the summer of 2007, The Sandman and Hacksaw would be in the same WWE RAW ring watching each others backs? Damn, is the roster that thin?

I completely forgot about Sandman. Ok, 4 faces. But I forgot about Carlito too, so its even.

Errr?

I forgot. I think something "dramatic" happened.

[creepy]

Wow. I think you put some words in my mouth there, Lucky.

You keep weird hours.

That Cena thing just seemed kinda, I dunno, racist to me. Saying "I never learned how to read!" and then "God Bless America" right after with a shit-eating grin just seemed racist to me. And his wiggerdom knows no bounds, hence the black v. hispanic thing.




And I know the term "wigger" is technically racist, too. My bad.

[Lucky]

I do keep weird hours. I'm an insomniac. What can I say? And I'm actually in one of my really bad spells right now. I've slept maybe 30 hours in the last 10 days. A couple of days recently I haven't been able to see straight. Of course I haven't drank in about that long either and that often helps.

I didn't mean to put any words in your mouth. That part just honestly confused me (and potentially creeped me out but I was more than willing to let you explain it before I made that judgement). You did and I'm happy to figure it wasn't what I feared. Sorry for the suggestion.

I think you could probably presume the same level of ignorance and poor education from ANY wrestling crowd, possible exception of major cities (and I'm not sure that would be an exception either). I don't think it was racist, intentional or unintentional. Just a poorly executed pop culture reference from Cena in his bad mode. Either way I figure that was just a blatant poor misquoting of a classic scene from a comedy that you figure everyone aged 18-30 has seen and will get --- black, white, hispanic, whatever. Especially if they're wrestling fans. Those sort of folks try and misquote that scene all the time.

Ok, they don't TRY to misquote that scene but it almost seems like they do. Its not THAT hard. If you want to quote it take some time to memorize a couple of lines.

I'm still not quite sure I get the "blacks vs hispanics" thing.

[creepy]

Maybe it's different up in the Northeast, but down here.........

You don't know how many times I've heard black on hispanic and hispanic on black racism here in the south.

I had this discussion with my paw-in-law (who's a Yankee from birth*) who agreed with me that northerners are so blatantly racist that they usually don't even realize they are doing it so out-in-the-open.

Me: And us southerners get the "racist label".
Him: Yeah, it must have been all of those cross burnings and lynchings.

I shut my mouth.

And we had a friend a few years ago from Chicago stay with us for a few days. He's a college grad and some kind of marketing dude now. We went to buy beer one night in Houston and he started talking about getting some Mad Dog or something in a "black voice" right in front of some black people.

My jaw dropped. I felt disrespected. I can only imagine what they thought.


And Lucky, I meant the fact that you quoted me as saying something that you said about Snitsky and the heel/face ratio.





(And as accepting as they come)

[Lucky]

Oh, duh. Whoops. I thought I was missing a paragraph. Sorry about that.

I dunno. I know plenty of racism and I've certainly seem blacks and hispanics conflict. And they stay segregated probably as much as whites and blacks do. But I've never noticed it to be exceptional. And I've never known it to be a stereotype like how some of the hispanics are believed to hate other hispanics, Koreans often thought to hate blacks, and blacks often thought to hate gays. But I'm not anthropology expert. Either way, I think you were probably reading too much into it (as I ironically did about your critique). I think it was just Cena's usual bad act.

Chalk my possible overreaction up to the insomnia. I'm often a little more on edge during these things. My bad.

[creepy]

It's all good. I figured he was just making a bad joke or something. But it raised my eye brow and made me say: "Was that just.......hmmmmmmm......."
