Content is king. Dave's a good guy, I can't understand why he would care enough to write an article about it but whatever. He wrote an article about CM Punk and TJ Perkins earlier in the week so I'll let him slide.

I am sure David is a swell guy...couldn't pay me to read about Kaitlyn, I didn't even know they were still doing that storyline...I zip past her segments everytime.

Following up on the the RCW FANdemonium event this past Saturday night. I have to hand it to Brandon Oliver (RCW President), they really had a top notch show here locally.

-Joey Palmer won the 4 way submission match to hold on to his RCW Phoenix belt. If his knee was bothering him, it wasn't evident during the match. Not a lot of aerial stuff though so maybe he was trying to minimize impact.

-The "fan" chosen match up had a tag team match featuring Don Juan (biggest heel in the stable), Chris Fuentes and Kash squaring off against Brandon Oliver, Eric Ortiz and Jose Guerra. Good match overall but predictable that Oliver would get a few shots in on Don Juan. Still went over big with the crowd.

-Sicodelico, Jr put his RCW heavyweight belt up against Steve McEnroe in best of 3 falls match. I see Sico as being the biggest talent on the RCW roster and could end up with one of the national promotions one of the days. He won the first and third falls to win the match and hold on to his title. Lots of great action and McEnroe held up his end of the match.

-The ladders match with RCW International champion Sammy Guevera was originally supposed to be a 2 person match vs. Chris Cross but a female wrestler that goes by Chica was added moments before the match got underway to make it a 3 way fight for the belt. This ended up being a brutal match. There were a few miscues by all of the wrestlers that involved off balance falls from the ladders and a pile driver from the ring apron onto a ladder that just sounded like it hurt. I thought the match was going to stop when Chica fell awkwardly from the top of the ladder onto the steel retaining gate around the ring. All action stopped for about 5 minutes and she sucked it up and finished the match with Guevera holding on to his title. The crowd went ape shit over this match.

-Last was the tables match for the tag team belts. RCW champions Joey Spector, Michael Patrick and Rob Love faced off against TNA Aces & Eights members Doc & Knux. The match got started with Doc and Knux bringing in a midget to be their 3rd person and there was lots of laughs as they used him as a battering ram against Spector. From there, it was just a non-stop ass kicking with Doc and Knux literally beating the asses of the RCW guys around the entire venue...even upstairs to the bar. They smashed chairs on them, hit them with beer bottles handed to them from the crowd and put them all through tables to win the match. The match went over huge with the crowd and there must have been 50 people standing in line to get pictures with them after the show.

Here's the champions from the matches on Saturday night-

L-R Doc, Sammy Guevera, Sicodelico Jr, Matthew Palmer, Knux

My wife has some great video on her phone of the tables match. I'll try to upload some of that when I get a chance.

The Miz blows.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

The Miz blows.

The guy needs to be a manager/authority figure in the worst way. At least then, his matches will be infrequent at best.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

The Miz needs to be a heel. Fin.

The most chicken shit of heels, really. He's not good in the ring (although, he's improved)...so, make him a chicken shit heel and it'll negate a lot of the shit he does in the ring.

His first run as a heel against Cena was good...piss poor payoff, but he showed he can be a good chicken shit heel.

 

[Pills]

Um... did they just have the guy who had a heart attack late last year shilling for a burger with 6 strips of bacon?

 

[s@ppisgod]

I just tuned into Raw, expecting something to be happening during the overrun. Instead, it's Trip and Vince doing some stupid argument that sounds like Who's on first, trying to get Curtis Axel's name into my subconscious.

The WWE has big plan for him as a face, he will be...... a chicken shit face like Sheamus.

 

[EmpireWF]

Bryan and Rollins with an awesome match.

Bryan's streak of show stealing performances continues.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

-Curt Axel has a good entrance and really good look...he can work, too. You have to try really hard to fuck this guy up long term. They are going to strap him with the IC Title, ain't they?

-The first segment with H's and McMahon was so fucking dumb, but I lol'd.

-Dean Ambrose makes little kids cry. He shits money.

-Daniel Bryan is finna carry Randy Aw-tawn to a good match soon. Speaking of carrying Aw-tawn, where is Christian?

-I will tune in to the PPV just to see Jericho/Punk. Seriously.

-Antonio Cesaro is the leader in the clubhouse for most underused/rated/whatever of the year. This is how bad the announcers in the WWE are though...they are bickering with Dirty Dutch while there are some really awesome moves in the ring...they should be marking out over those not bickering. Terrible.

-Bryan with another match of the week candidate. So good.

-LOLOLOLOL @ Big E with that damn flowers n shit. Real nigga. That AJ/Kaitlyn match better have some snatch grabbin. I do always lol @ "man arms" doh.

-This episode of RAW needed an "I Love You, Pop!"

-Where is the "Holler if ya hear me!" after the amberlamps sirens? Damn Ryback is a turrible promo.

 

[JimLeavy59]

Ryback calling someone un-athletic?

:lol:

 

[XavierDZ]

Is it me or did that crown suck balls?

 

[Leftwich]

Is Bray Wyatt wearing a shiny apron?

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Are they really going to have Erick Rowan wear that fuckin lamb mask when he comes to the ring?

:jonesy:

 

[JimLeavy59]

Are any of these wrestlers real?

 

[EmpireWF]

Punk is getting a new theme by his buddies, Rancid, as of Sunday.

 

[Leftwich]

Greatest bump of all time?

I think so.

Some awesome concept art from some old mid-90's WWF gimmicks. Pretty cool.

When they signed Dustin Rhodes for the second time...they had a ton of fucking ideas, most of them incredibly weird. They ended up merging two of the "Goldust concepts.

 

[EmpireWF]

Don't know why, but I laughed at the Max Moon sketches. For the boots & shin guards, it says it will be ordered by "Charles in Mexico" and it's crossed out and replaced with 'the wrestler.'

lol

I'm positive they spent more energy coming up with the costume than they did actually coming up with a storyline for Konnan.

There are TONS of concept designs for Max Moon.

Wrestling attire is all about simplicity...when you are 15 pieces of concept art in...you might as well scrap the whole thing. Too complicated.
