Nobody can save Lauper botching that record shot.

Although Slater is a botch in himself so... :shifty:

Real Slater Hater I take it? I like the guy, potential to be better than half the guys on the roster. Of course, he'll never get that push.

I've seen him in FCW, in all the incarnation of Nexus, tagging with Justin Gabriel, singles...

FUCK HEATH SLATER.

======================================================

On another note: I see The Prime Time Players and I miss Cryme Tyme.

Also, this match needs more shots of Rosa Mendes.

 

[krulmichael]

Best in the world at what he does is finally back next week.

 

[SHOGUN]

I think Slater is perfect as he is now. He generates heat so naturally. I kinda want to see what he can do with the US belt since it's basically a jobber's belt now.

YOU'RE A LOSER, YOU'RE A LOSER, YOU'RE A LOSER, YOU'RE A LOSER...

"We Want Ryder" chants from his home crowd in the middle of the Cena/Shitbird Lauranitus + David Otunga, Attorney at RAW match.

I love how Big Show and Otunga dipped out on Big Johnny tonight as well

At least they didn't drag this out to 3 hours this week.

 

[krulmichael]

What a God awful Raw. Just absolutely awful (aside from Ziggy).

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

As awful and nondescript as any RAW could possibly be.

This is their second go around in Long Island without bringing out Zack Ryder when the crowd desperately wants to go bonkers for him. smh.

 

[JayDizzle]

I think I might print this out in memoriam of the Big Johnny Era.

RIP Johnny Ace's tailbone.

 

[SHOGUN]

The biggest dissapointment of the Johnny Ace Era is that we never saw him deliver one of these:

Why would you ever give people what they want and make them happy? Doing the complete opposite, out of some sort of weird spite towards your audience, is what generates goodwill and maximizes profits.

I didn't get that either. When they were announcing the night's GM, I thought Ryder might come out. How hard would it have been to bring him out for a token appearance? So stupid.

The whole Laurinaitis thing is done. Not sure why they don't see that. I don't blame Laurinaitis himself. He was stuck in that role.

I feel bad for Mick Foley. He looked hobbled. He did a great job though

My comment wasn't a knock on Foley. He deserves his legend spot and has the ability to sell. Unlike Hogan, he knows his place.

I know. I was just making an observation as to how rough it was to watch Foley even walk

Jeff Hardy is next.

Foley had neither the look or wrestling ability, so he decided to whore his body in a sick way. I like Foley, he seems like a decent guy, but he's paying for being the stuntman Ric Flair called him. Foley and too many of that ECW group set wrestlers back years with their wreckless and stupid crap. At least Foley got paid and his family is taken care of.

Yeah. Unlike New Jack who was once paid in porn DVDs.

 

[EmpireWF]

The opening tag was good until the fuck finish. I'm loving the groove Punk & Bryan are on right now.

The Swagger/Ziggler match was another fun one until the sudden finish out of nowhere, killing Swagger off in the process. I loved watching Swagger break down Ziggler and his selling is tops of anyone in the company.

The HHH/Heyman deal is so ridiculous. HHH tries to play his mindgames, suckering Brock into fighting him so he can get his revenge. Why would Brock want to come back unless he's given more money in storyline? Because he punched his pal Paul E? WTF...now they should just be able to get even more money from all their lawsuits. And if you're the famous board of directors, don't you have to be pissed that HHH is getting you involved in all these stupid lawsuits? We all know the only thing happening at SS is another infamous HHH burial. Whatever. I just want to see one last Brock killing of someone either before or at SS. They should have Brock show up on the 3-hour RAW in July and just beat the holy fuck out of HHH, Shawn and whomever else. Then do whatever they fuck they want at SS.

I'm sick of this shit where heels just walk away from a match. Do it once, okay. But there were at least 4 guys who did it tonight and I know they did it last night, too. The fuck?

I have a mancrush on Primo, the guy is gold in the ring.

Fuck John Cena. Fuck Michael Cole's ridiculous snorting.

And the whole Lauper/Piper/Slater deal was so ridiculous, it was funny. I was surprised Richter showed up after shitting on WWE a little while back at one of the HOF deals. Knowing the LI crowd would not know either of them was hilarious until the bagpipes hit. I love Piper so anytime he comes out to talk is fine by me.

Foley most certainly had a great look, so you are way off base with that. And while not athletic at all, he knew how to work a match within his athletic limitations. And he was a top .01% promo in the history of the business (you could make the argument he was THE best).

So while Foley's reckless style contributed to making him a star, it was hardly the primary reason. Plenty of guys were far more reckless than Foley and went nowhere in the business, because they did not have the gifts and ability that Foley had in other areas.

I'd also like you to explain the second bold. In what way did Foley "set back wrestlers years"?

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I'd also like to point out that Foley's most reckless stunts took place in the WWE.
