Since I'm trying to stay away from the top half of OO for awhile I figure I'll do this here. I wanted to get Joeldcat in on this but if I'll just U2U him the link when we hit 10. I just want to see how long it takes to get 100 truly stupid things he said that he should have known better. Factual errors? Calling Jeff Hardy Matt? Saying that this is the first time Cena and HBK have teamed up? Mindnumbing jokes or cultural references? I'm game. We can evaluate the validity of them individually and anyone can play. But for the sake of fairness we'll not dig up any past 'he called Chris Benoit 'Jericho'" events. We'll start in 2008.

And I'll start the list with the one that inspired this for me.

1. "Only two men have held the WWE Title and IC title at the same time - HHH and Hulk Hogan!"
- 1/21/08 RAW; Hardy vs Orton
Warrior won, duh.

2. "Omaga"
- 1/28/08 RAW; DX vs Umaga/Snitzky
Umaga, obviously.

3. "That was a unique maneuver."
- 1/28/08 RAW; JBL/Orton vs Hardy/Jericho
JR fails to recognize Jericho's finisher, the Codebreaker.

4. "He's tapping like a drunk amigo!"
- 2/4/08 RAW; Super Crazy vs Kennedy
Confusing, nonsensical, and racist, way to go.

5."Like a Matt and Jeff Hardy Tag Team move!"
- 2/4/08; Hardy, HBK, & Jericho vs JBL, Umaga, and Snitsky
Jeff hits the Poetry in Motion with aid from Jericho, at least it wasn't the Whisper in the Wind.

6."Both knees by Jericho."
- 2/4/08; Hardy, HBK, & Jericho vs JBL, Umaga, and Snitsky
JR still doesn't know the name of Jericho's Codebreaker.

7."..."
- 2/11/08; JBL vs Jericho
He STILL doesn't know what the Codebreaker is and just stays silent.

8. "The World's Most Strongest Man."
- 2/11/08; Henry vs Cena
Mark Henry's new nickname.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

2. "Jericho's staring right at you, Champ (to Triple H)" -JR
"Benoit is staring at me too" - HHH

Thanks goes to THM on this one. I might not have the exact quotes.

Nevermind I didn't fully read the rules. Though I think this should be the one and only reference to Jericho/Benoit only because it contained the brilliant work from Triple H. I'll let you judge that.

[Lucky]

Its great. I'd like to include it. But I want to be fair. This basically came from Joeldcat saying that he didn't think JR made THAT many mistakes. I want to see how many he does. If we're grabbing old classics we remember... and watching old PPVs and finding stuff... that's not fair. A career as long as JR's is gonna have a lot of fuckups. I just want something a bit more fair.

Plus this way its timely so we can all be sure of it. Not "Back at In Your House 11 he called the Road Dogg 'Snoop Dogg.'" True? Who knows. I don't have In Your House 11. But if it was from last night's RAW? Someone else will remember it or still have it on DVR or whatever. If it sounds suspect we can check it out.

[Pun]

3. I don't really know if this counts, but this past Monday, he kept calling the HHH/HBK tag match an "impromptu DX reunion." When you have teamed up quite a bit over the last several months, and you never really officially broke up, can you really call it a reunion?

[DevSop]

Lucky, why would you make us do this to ourselves? Actually listen and focus on what JR and/or King are saying? Man, that's fucking torture, don't make us do it.

[Lucky]

Man, I'm looking forward to this game. It will be a distraction from RAW. Its like a drinking game. I can't wait for tonight because I'm a weirdo who watches RAW Wednesday night/Thursday morning. And once I link it to OO I fully expect the Tenay/West offshoot to be started by someone.

Pun, I'm gonna vote against that one. Yes, it is a reunion technically because DX is not an active unit. Yeah, its silly because its been so little time, but that's the booking and not JR. He's right to say it was an impromptu reunion. Now if he said it was "much anticipated" or "its been so long" or something clearly false like that, then I'm game. I guess I'll rewatch that match tonight to see if he does.

Also, I've been wanting to bring back Serg's 6 Pack for awhile now and had intended to do it for the new year. But I couldn't get myself up for it. So I'm thinking that this might get me a little motivated and then maybe once the Draft is done (or mostly done) I'll hit up Serg for some advice (or see if he wants to do it) for it to kick off after WM. Why would I do this at a time when I'm so down on wrestling? Because I really do think it helps me get through the shows looking for the positives and highlighting them.

[Batman]

That's funny, since I started watching wrestling again a few weeks ago, I've been thinking about bringing the 6Pack back too. Just not willing to devote the time to it that I used to.

Maybe we could run it alternating weeks to cut down on the time drain? Want to run it here or OOver there again?

[Lucky]

There if we do it. More people, makes sense. Most of our crew doesn't even seem to be too into wrestling at the moment.

Alternating it weekly between us if we're both half assed into certainly makes sense. I'll be bringing it up to you closer to WM, I do believe.

[Tommy]

My most recent favorite was the RAW when JR successfully called Jeff Hardy's 3 moves: "Whisper in the Wind" the "Swanton Bomb" and the "Twist of Fate"...wait for it...THE TWIST OF FATE

[Mikey]

At WrestleMania 22, JR mentioned that Edge was in attendance for WrestleMania III.

JR corrected that to VI, then said, "WrestleMania III was right here in Chicago."

[Lucky]

Well, Joeldcat caught "Omaga" and I just heard it. So that one seems like it can safely go up on the board as our 2nd entry.

[DevSop]

Can we just the Skittles promos just because

[Lucky]

You know, I NEVER hear those. And think they cut them out of the Telemundo broadcast because a lot of times they come back from commercial and JR and King same something weird like "you know, he ate that chicken last night" and I have no idea what they're talking about and presume there must have been a video bumper.


JR said that "The Game had yet to beat" Snitsky. But HHH won the Over the Top Gauntlet last week. So... isn't that beating him? Opinions? Is the non-pinfall/submission/DQ/CO nature of the win enough to give JR a pass?

I'm going to be nice and ignore that he called Playboy "classy."

HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE CODEBREAKER WAS! ITS HIS DAMN FINISHER!

[creepy]

You have waaaay to much time on your hands.






Eta: However, you do fascinate me, Lucky.

I noticed that chicken joke, too. I download Raw with the commercials taken out and they came back from commercial for Carlito's entrance and made some non-sequiter joke about somebody eating a chicken. I figure it must have referred to some commercial that was cut out of my video file.

But the announcer-read commercial considerations are not a video bumper, they're right in the middle of the show. They do them in the middle of guys' ring entrances--with the entrance music playing in the background, they switch to a wide shot of the ring with a graphic of the product on the screen and they alternate between JR and Jerry doing "Raw is brought to you by [product], [product catchphrase]." If they cut this from Telemundo's broadcast there would be a weird jump in the guy's entrance music, and he'd skip from being in the middle of the entrance ramp to being in the ring.

I think you're just tuning them out.

If you still have the most recent Raw on DVR, skip to DX's entrance. After they get to the ring, but before Shawn starts running around in a circle like he has brain damage, they do one. Sadly, no Skittles--I just love hearing JR say "fruity" seven times in a row with his tone of voice saying "yes, I know I sound ridiculous, what can I do? It's my job to read what's on the card, no matter how stupid."

But there was still some unintentional irony with Jerry doing the Just For Men one--I had just been thinking that he should be careful not to get too sweaty or some of that fresh hair dye might run down his forehead.

[Lucky]

I make official additions of this myself come Wednesday when I have the DVRed version of RAW to peruse. But since I rather not rewatch this whole show a 2nd time how about some heads up?

I hear he failed to catch the Codebreaker for a 2nd week in a row and that he had no idea of what the name of a non-Whisper in the Wind Hardy move was. They sound like promising additions. Anything else?

I know at the end of the Crazy/Kennedy match he had some bizarre line like "He's tapping like a _____ illegal!" Need to find that missing word and see if it fits.

[Jack Quinn]

he's tapping like a flat wheel makes more sense, but it did sound like he said something about illegals

[Lucky]

If its "tapping like a flat wheel" I'll let it be. Stupid cliches probably don't deserve to be on the list. But you're at least the 3rd person who heard "illegal." So I gotta check that one out.

[Batman]

Tapping like a drunk amigo.

Lawler replies, "a what?"


Yeah that probably belongs on your list. I sure don't know what it was supposed to mean.

[Lucky]

"Amigo" certainly makes sense. And thankfully that's just as nonsensical and racist is "____ illegal"! Thanks!

[creepy]

"You don't belong here, ya ravin' idiot." Awesome. I know this doesn't fit your criteria Lucky, but it's an awesome quote from JR on the vid Serg posted.

[Stu]

The SmackDown Vs. Raw games have some bad ones:

King: What the heck is a "government mule", anyway?
J.R: It's what you get beaten by when you're in a middle of a slobber knocker. And if you don't have the guts to stick around, you might run like the scalded dog, with the bad case of limbertail.

And something along the lines of:

King: Oh, really? Tell me, J.R. how many superstars have YOU ever beat?
J.R: Well I do have a pinfall victory over HHH to my credit, King.

[Batman]

Back on topic, finally got around to watching Raw.

JR called Mark Henry the "World's Most Strongest Man." I got quite a chuckle from that one.

[Lucky]

Good grab, Sir Gay.

Why did I stop doing this when I stopped watching RAW? I just had to scan through 4 hours of RAW to satisfy my curiosity for this list. I feel comfortable adding these entries.

5."Like a Matt and Jeff Hardy Tag Team move!"
- 2/4/08; Hardy, HBK, & Jericho vs JBL, Umaga, and Snitsky
Jeff hits the Poetry in Motion with aid from Jericho, at least it wasn't the Whisper in the Wind.

6."Both knees by Jericho."
- 2/4/08; Hardy, HBK, & Jericho vs JBL, Umaga, and Snitsky
JR still doesn't know the name of Jericho's Codebreaker.

7."..."
- 2/11/08; JBL vs Jericho
He STILL doesn't know what the Codebreaker is and just stays silent.

8. "The World's Most Strongest Man."
- 2/11/08; Henry vs Cena
Mark Henry's new nickname.


And I really am fair to JR. I skip a lot of stuff that annoy me because its just moronic grammar or awkward phrasing or honest mistakes. But I titled this "retarded" so the bar has to stay high. I included his non-comment of not saying ANYTHING for the Codebreaker because its very clear he doesn't know what the move is and for at least 2 weeks and 3 instances of it has failed to find out. In fairness to JR the last 2 weeks were recorded the same day, but in criticism of him he had 2 hours to find out about it.



I skimmed through and really only paid attention to the matches. So if I missed something feel free to speak up. I know guys were telling me this RAW was filled with ones and I only got the two. Didn't even manage to get a Hardy screwup this week. But like I said, I skimmed.

Really? Just because of implied incest? HBK vs Hardy was well worth the Burchill retardedness. Match of the week by far, and that's coming from someone who loved Angle vs. Christian. (oh yeah, and A.J. vs. Tiger Mask. Damn, good week for the wrestling.)
