Bob-O's Random Ramblings 11/12/2012

Post by Bob-O » Nov 13th, '12, 00:00

For anyone unfamiliar with the concept, Random Ramblings is me drinking beer and watching Raw (or whatever) and writing my thoughts of the show in real time. Things usually fall apart by the end, but that's due to three hours of drinking. By no means is this a comprehensive review. While a life long fan, I don't feel like I have the authority to rate a match. But I do remember a time when friends got together every Monday night, drank beer, and flipped back and forth between Raw and Nitro. We had a great time and THIS is what we would have talked about:

Next World Heavyweight Champion
Raw opens with Ziggler vs Orton, which is fun. Ziggler lost (again), but he LOOKED like the real deal in there against Orton which is a step up for him. Losing to Orton via anything that isn't an RKO is as close to a win as you're going to get against him... unless it's an actual win, but I think Orton's humbling is over.

Teddy Long comes out and says Vickie Guerrero is too busy obsessing over the Cena/AJ scandal and makes a tag match on behalf of Booker T. What the hell is Booker T doing!? He could be taking over Raw right now! Too busy obsessing over Eve in that secretary's outfit? I accept this.

Remember that time that Kofi dumped paint all over Orton's race car, and Orton called Kofi STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!!! ? Me neither, but seeing them tagging is a little surreal right now. Del Rio pins the IC Champ and nobody mentions it. That's probably why Kofi didn't bring the belt to the ring, so maybe nobody would notice when Del Rio isn't suddenly the #1 Contender. Orton helps Kofi up and I didn't see him mouth a single "F" word! Water under the bridge I guess.

Blah. Cena/AJ/Vickie crap. I've already voiced my opinion on this and it hasn't changed. My wife was actually in the room for this, and I quote: "So what if Cena's doin' AJ? They'd make cute babies." I replied, "You know who else would make cute babies with AJ? Me. We'd make an army." Eye roll and out the room. Mission accomplished.

King's back. He said he's lived the movie 'It's a Wonderful Life'. I don't remember George Bailey committing statch', but I do remember him getting piss drunk and yelling at his kids. That would actually be a phenomenal WWE Studios remake. It'd be so terrible, but so worth it to see Grand Master Sexy in full wrestling gear say, "Look Daddy! Every time a bell rings an angel get's his wings!" Out of no where, RKO!!! "Wrong bell, Bitch." I hear voices in my head... cue credits.

Linda lost her Senate bid, cue the low road on the Jerry Lawler thing. I was actually surprised they did it. I was surprised BEFORE Heyman did his heart attack schtick. I could almost see Vince in the back, watching on the monitor, smoking a cigarette looking to Triple H with a satisfied grin saying, "GOD this feels good. I've been holding that in for tooooooo long."

"Mick. Go out there and yell at Punk. Like you did last month, that was good tv." "About what?" "Who cares!? Just do it, dammit! Earn your check!"

As most of you know, I'm a little partial, but I think Titus O'Neal has a promising future. I'm looking for him to break out during the Royal Rumble - much like Bradshaw fifteen years ago.

Didn't Justin Gabriel used to have real theme music? I swore he did. That song that played when they won that 8-man was horrible! Worse than Cesaro's old music! Not that I've been keeping track, but of the original Nexus members he's the only one without proper music. I'm pretty sure even Michael McGillicutty has a theme song with lyrics.

The chick Fandango's dancing with... isn't that Ric Flair's kid!? I think so! Ha! ....Yep, that is without a doubt David Flair.
-0-
I'm intrigued by the camera man filming Brad Maddox's back. That's some TNA stuff right there. You watchin' this, Kurt Angle!? Outrageous.
-0-
MIZ FACE TURN! Thank God. It's gonna be a slow(ish) one, but it's looking like they're actually going to pull the trigger. I was so pissed when Kofi dissed the handshake last week.
-0-
Antonio Cesaro, the satchel is BRILLIANT! Haha, "What do you keep in there? Pictures? Artifacts?" That was awesome, it could actually be the gimmick to this character that saves it - because it's been falling flat with me quite honestly.

Truth runs a promo with a knock-knock joke, your argument is invalid. You watchin' this, Braden Walker!?

Brad Maddox makes his way to the ring, with no music. Wait! Holy shit! Scott Steiner!? Heyman pulled through! Steiner's gonna - oh, it's actually an ambulance. Makes sense, WWE probably won't touch Steiner until the impending lawsuit against TNA is over with. PUNCH HIM IN THE BALLS, BRAD!!! PUNCH HIM IN THE BALLS!!!! THROW A FIRE BOMB!!! HADOOOOOOKEN!!! This match is actually why I decided to skip the Steeler game tonight. I have high hopes for this. Surely they've got something in store for The Ryback to make this Sunday more compelling....

What's that Primo? You know something I dont?
...I had high hopes for that. I thought for sure with the stipulations that ~something~ would come of it. The meeting with Paul? The McMahon involvement? For another Ryback squash?

And, what was with that Ho Train thing he did in the corner before the Meat Hook Closeline? You watchin' this, Charles Wright!? (The Godfather, mother effin' Kama, throw me a bone here.) What a load of crap. What did this accomplish? Does another squash do ANYTHING for Ryback, regardless of what Maddox got thrown into this time? What ~might~ have possibly been gained by having Maddox sneak a dirty win, and winning an ill-deserved big money contract? What a waste, and I just noticed that the Steelers won a close one. Just lovely.

Sheamus vs Otunga up now. Regal, Aksana, and Mike McGillicutty watching in the back. WTF? Why would they show us that!? "Always a sellout in the back" says Cole. Haha, you watchin' this Sting?

As if they hadn't made their point, William Regal will never ever ever be relevant ever again. Ever. Sunshine.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!? The WWE Universe picked MIZ over Santino or Ryder!? Bubibibibut Foley said he didn't stand a chance! I would have laughed my ass off if Ryder had won. MAN, they've really screwed up with him. I'm not saying he should be main eventing or anything, but I'd say that upper midcard mainstay spot held my R-Truth belongs to him.

So they're really gonna do it. I'm not expecting a clean finish here, but they're actually putting Cena vs Punk on free tv. What are they gonna do when ratings STILL come back sucky? I mean, they really didn't do a whole lot to hype this. Sure, they announced it, but I honestly didn't know about it before the show started, and they haven't done much to make it feel like the big deal it actually is. The top two talents in the company are facing off right now, for free, six days before they face off again and nobody is going to see it because they all switched to the Steelers game back when David Otunga came on the screen like I should have.


Cena/Punk delivered, I guess. But I can't help but feel underwhelmed. This was Cena's return to single's action! This was Cena vs Punk on free tv! This probably should have been announced and hyped, and not presented as some sort of formality. This should have been a big fucking deal, yet it felt like business as usual. Are they really this burnt out? Did they really think Jerry Lawler was going to sell the PPV? Because THAT'S what they hyped for tonight.

Baaahahahahah, at Ryback and Cena holding the championship belt upside down. I was waiting for Miz's music to hit. I CAME TO PLAY!!! Fade to black. Buy the PPV.

Wow. I didn't notice this at all. Good observation.

Agree with you about Cesaro's gimmick. All he does is speak other languages. He needs to go full-on "Europe is superior" foreign heel.

At this point I am actually going to go into the staff section and call for a vote to make your column mandatory. You must do these every week. I had forgotten how awesome they are!
