Oh phew. I read that at first and thought it was Wrestling Observer awards and almost had a heart attack that Randy Orton was the best wrestler.
Phew.
Phew.

Yeah, I thought it was Batista at first too.
Was hoping it was Cabana when I saw someone jump the rail.

I thought so too.
For all the shit Cena gets, he's not bad, he's just stuck in that 5-move WWE work style. That said, it wasn't Cena or Punk's best. Maybe it was the camera work, I dunno... I thought there were a lot of guys off their game tonight. Cena sold the neck stuff well though.
I thought Ziggler/Orton was the best match of the night, and that's considering Morrison/Bryan was on the card.
Morrison and Bryan's timing was off... it was sloppy.S.P.Q.A.

If he makes it, I suspect a table ride followed by a Championship run.
I wouldn't put it past Uncle Vince to fast track this guy (the guy practically is Botchtista minus a few inches in height) within 2 months.
I did find it odd that the crowd didn't pop when buddy dropped Cena though... confusion does that to you.Comment

It was still stupid to blow a potential PPV main event for a Raw main event at the midway point of a PPV. Even if it ended in DQ.Comment

You had to of known that they weren't going to do a clean finish.
Punk's just getting started on the converting end and Cena's going to get more time for his eventually murder spree when the time comes.
And really, at this point, Cena can merk every member of Nexus by himself until he gets to either Barrett or Punk...
You could cast this as the live action version of Fatal Fury if you wanted to.Comment

I enjoyed Cena/Punk and Morrison/Bryan, and surprised how even the Cena/Punk match was.
New Nexus guy is a dead ringer for Batista. I had to do a triple take when he first came out. Hopefully, he won't be as boring.
RAW's Play-by-play is so shit. Lawler sounded more in awe of Cena than usual. At one point, I thought he was going to jump in the ring and suck his cock. What the hell is the deal with Cole calling Punk's submission the Ananconda Vice.

fascinatingLessons from Vinnie Mac
On his new blog, Dave Lagana, ROH Producer and former member of WWE creative, talked about what he learned from Vince McMahon:
#1 – Know your Brand
Coke is a brand. Tide is a brand. You are a brand. Vince would always make this one point very clear: “Perception is Reality.” Vince McMahon is a brand. From how he walks, to how he carries himself, to the speech patterns he uses. What he does, works for him. Don’t believe me? Check out his net worth.
Vince would sit down with talents to talk with them, to get inside their heads and find out who they are. The best characters always come from inside the person playing them. Vince prided himself with finding a little nugget inside a talent and running with it. All the great characters are a piece of themselves, with the volume turned up.
If you walk into work, complaining everyday; what are you? How people perceive you is how they see you.
This is true in every profession, including wrestling. The “show” doesn’t stop when the red light goes off. Look what being mean to a a catering person did for Randy Moss. The information (publicly and privately) you put out, every interaction you have; this is your foundation. If you don’t know how to communicate, what will happen to your brand? Look at the truly successful people and the brands they create for themselves. It’s really the idea of personal responsibility. You can blame others or take ownership in the things you control.
#2 – What’s your Finish
As talked about in a previous article, storytelling is key to all forms of communication. No matter if it was a storyline being pitched to Vince or details of a match, he’d always ask “What’s your finish?” He wanted to see if you had thought about where you were going, the goal. While this sometimes could be perceived as a power game, it also made you prepare differently for the next time.
Every task you tackle, it has an order. Putting thought into them before starting will save headaches along the way. I have an IKEA desk that will agree with this way of thinking. Know your plan, know your mission. Write it down. That way when asked “What’s your finish?”, you can properly communicate it and then execute it.
#3 No Sneezing
If there is one thing Vince McMahon hates… it’s sickness. “There is no such thing as sick”, was the usual response when someone would try to use it as an excuse. Vince is a workaholic and if anything gets in the way of his work, it makes him angry. Paul Heyman would joke that Vince would get angry with his own sneezes. Perhaps it was because he couldn’t control it. Like the famous quote from the movie It’s a Wonderful Life, “Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings”. In the pro wrestling world, “Every time someone sneezes, Vince McMahon gets angry.”

This is the success for every single wrestler.
If this isn't your character, you will never succeed.Comment

MsChif vs. Daizee Haze bored the shit out of me.

wait...wait...WAIT!Not sure if this is true or not but I have heard through non TNA sources that the reason that Shane Helms has not signed with TNA to join the Hardys and Shannon Moore is that his former girlfriend Velvet Sky has threatened to leave the promotion should they sign Helms. Obviously Sky means more to TNA than Helms due to the Beautiful People gimmick and they do not want to risk dumping that idea. Sky and Helms had a very nasty breakup several years back
He
was hitting this?
