[Fire-Babe]

I'll go ahead and start the thread. Someone else can post the preview, but I just had a horrid thought.

Wanna chat? Then scroll up and click the word 'chat.'

With Finley and Hornswaggle and then of course the McMahons, there's bound to be some St. Patty's day shenanigans over this whole stupid storyline. Predictions?

[Tommy]

Yeah, this thought came into my head about halfway through the day...

Dublin Kiss My Ass Club?
Stone Cold returns for a Guinness beer bash?
Vince/Finlay/Hornswaggle vs. Regal/Burchill/Katie?

The possibilities are ENDLESS!

[Beer Baron]

I think the funniest line I've ever heard on wrestling EVAR..."I've got your delicious subway sandwich!" by Santino. Anytime he calls the King, "Jerry Stupid Lawler" that makes my night.

[Angle]

I love Santino.

He already had the mic skills of a face-punchable douchebag heel, now he's got the look of one.

[Jack Quinn]

there were three highlights from RAW for me last night, two were Santino talking, and I have already forgotten the third. Raw was just pure shit last night. Honestly, the only reason I watch anymore is because of the chat. If not for that, I think I can finally say I would walk away from it. They have done NOTHING to convince me that I need to see WM, nothing at all.

[Mr. Dashbee]

I was worried that with Maria involved in the Bunny-Mania thing, Santino would fade away. Obviously not. I'm sure he'll get his at 'Mania.

But what do they do with him next?

[Riot Act]

I turned on Raw lat just in time to see Lawler talking to Jared (YOU HAVE AIDES~!!) and promptly turned it off.

I turned it on later to see Cena FU-ing the entire Raw roster and turned it off again.

[The Canadian Content]

Speaking of that Maria match, anyone else notice that it looked like Candice reinjured her shoulder? She was holding her arm pretty gingerly and wouldn't let Maria raise it after the match.

Wish him well in all future endeavors?

I read on 411mania that she did feel pain and they took her to a local medical facility for observation.


I didn't see the show, but I sorta want to see enough of the main event to see what two recappers called either a double team RKO or a fall away slam into an RKO.

[nOOb]

I was curious to see who the WWE announced as the next inductee into the HOF (so far, very underwhelmed) and instead, I read Cena and Orton basically beat up the entire Raw roster but then got beat by Triple H by himself. And all I could do was laugh at that. I'm sure the match may or may not have been good, but the idea is shit because the outcome is already set: Triple H is getting the win ultimately. Times like these make me glad I don't watch WWE programming anymore and make me realize I have no intention of coming back after Wrestlemania ends like I did last year and the year before that.

He threw Lawler's drink on him, started to run off, then turned back around to steal the sandwich... I loved it.

So, what do you do with the most talented tag team on your roster? Why, split them up of course in a shitty way... DUH. This isn't like the Rockers or Hart Foundation breaking up folks. As much as I love both London and Kendrick, neither one is going to become a huge singles star. I can already see exactly what is gonna happen:

Next week-- London: What the fuck man, why'd you leave me out there?

Next few weeks after that-- Some fucking around with each other, leading to a blow off match with so uninteresting build-up, that no one will give a shit.

Sometime around early/mid-May-- We wish both Paul London and Brian Kendrick good luck in their future endeavors.

Yeah she did. So far, she's still gonna be competing at Wrestlemania.

If it gets them on TNA, then I'm all for it.

You left out: July - MCMG vs Londrick for the TNA Tag titles.

I sure as hell hope so. WWE had an incredibly talented team that got over and was one of the most entertaining and reliable parts of the company for over a year and decided their best use was on Heat for 6 months. If WWE doesn't want to use them then cut them and let them make a triumphant return to ROH, tear up the TNA X and Tag divisions, or whatever. And don't tease me into thinking they might be IC caliber wrestlers who actually get used when I know better.

I watched it drunk last night on FF. I remember cracking up at Santino going back for the sandwich and then his triumphant bites of it on the ramp (and Jillian's). I remember getting annoyed at the L&K breakup because I know it has about 10% chance of amounting to something. I remember Orton and Cena dominate the RAW roster and force them to get themselves DQed because they had no chance. Just seemed like a lot of suck to me.

I did love Vince basically putting himself over clean on Flair and having HBK cheating be the only thing that saves him. Vince didn't cheat or outnumber Flair. The odds weren't stacked against him. Vince and Flair were on even ground and Vince was the better man. Way to put over the guy going to WM. Fucking tool.

OK, ***this*** I did think was rad. Cena caught someone going for a cross-body block (think fallaway slam) and just tossed him up in the air for Orton to drill the RKO. I'm probably overstating it, but it was cool enough to make the main event worth watching for me.

Also, I couldn't stop laughing at Santino taking a big bite of the sub ... "I've got-a your sandwich, Jerry Stupid Lawler!" Only Santino could make it a believably heel-ish (and HILARIOUS) act to toss Pepsi at someone and steal their Subway sub.

[Tommy]

It was pretty much a 3-D, or whatever they're calling it nowadays.

[Deadly]

I really hope I'm watching MCMG vs. Londrick for the TNA tag titles soon. Really, really hope.

[Mr. Dashbee]

Orton/Cena's double team move was sort of a 3D, but the set-up was like an FU, except Cena threw the opponent straight up (keeping him parallel to the mat) as a set-up for the RKO. Probably the highlight of the night.

About Kendrick's abandonment of London - I don't see this going anywhere. I think they did it solely to set-up the HHH-Regal interview where HHH explains why Cena/Orton can't just take a walk. Yup, dissension amongst the best team on the roster just to set-up a HHH interview. At most I see them arguing and then having a match where they reaffirm their respect or something like that.

I'd much rather they get released and show up in TNA (after a a stop in ROH), but I think they'll be around for a while. Not that there's a cruiserweight title for them to fight over or anything!

I mean seriously, how hard would it be to put them in the MITB match? It's apparently only having 7 competitors now, which is stupid. Just give one of them the spot, and let the other interfere. Easy as pie, and you know you'll get some crowd popping spots.

It just doesn't seem like it's that hard to book this stuff...

EDIT to add: refer to derfsucks description of the double-team RKO. his is more accurate than mine, but I'll leave it in for continuity purposes.

Damn, I thought that last night and kept trying to convince myself otherwise. I figured the best way to get them a good 'feud' would be to stick 'em BOTH in MITB, but Allah only knows that would be too enticing for our own good.

Nah, they'll release one of them, then send the other one over to be a jobber on SmackDown/ECW. Then a year later they'll rehire the one guy and future endeavor the guy they originally kept just as people are getting excited about a possible reunion.

[paddler]

Bump. And in case anyone hasn't menttioned it yet the hi-lite of the night for me was in the main event when Santino did the official "The Marine" salute in mid-air as he was about to nail the prostrate Cena. I know that we've seen the Santino sort of phenomenon in wrestling before but in Marella's case I hope they make an extra effort to keep this guy around for the long term. He's adding something good to the show practically every week.
