It’s Friday the 13th and so far the only bad thing to happen to me is that I have to review Impact.

(more…)

While I believe Mark did an excellent job filling in for me last week, an event the caliber of the Slammys needs something special.  And as such, I’ve gone out and gotten a Slammy Award winner to write the RAW review this week – me!  Yes, it is I, the Slammy Award Winning ThinkSoJoE taking the helm once again as RAW presents the 2013 Slammy Awards!  Earlier today, yours truly won one of the WWE.com Slammys.  Don’t believe me?  Look!

I was there! Slammy Award Winner, baby!

Anyways, I digress.  Let’s roll!

I watch 30 minutes of RAW, then leave for work, then review the rest of RAW in real-time as I watch it.  Except for when I fast-forward.  Then it’s not really “real-time,” I guess.  In any event, this review is being written by a Slammy Award Winner.  The SmackDown review can’t say that.  The RAW review can.  So that makes the RAW review better!  Of course, since it’s a popularity contest, I’ll probably lose the BWF Award.  I give them a place to talk wrestling and they like that G guy better than me.  Bastards.  

(more…)

Nope.

Joe and Jorge seem preoccupied with their upcoming DDP Yoga session, and JT is all about the snow falling in an NFL game.  G tries to steer everybody on track but gets abducted by Charles Barkley, leaving Mark to fend for himself.  Ok, that doesn’t really happen.  Joe reads Mark’s RAW review, we gloss over IMPACT, and G reads his own SmackDown review.  In the news, we find out just who everybody is working for in the WWE.  Stephanie McMahon sells more stock, and CM Punk ponders if his business is trapped behind a bad app.  We talk about tomorrow night’s Slammy Awards and next week’s BWF Awards.  We welcome back Michael Hayes to the WWE Creative team (we’ll drink to that!).  We learn the digital whereabouts of Evan Karagias, and find out why WWE might be in the IMPACT Zone very soon.  All this, and much, much more on BWF Radio 103!  Tune in!

This week’s break song was “Cowboys From Hell” by Pantera.  Buy it here!

Well, here we are again. Yes, it’s Friday. I started off my day driving through the snowy tundra hell that Calgary has become over the last week in search of a drill bit set for my Dad. Then I had the delight of appearing on an upcoming special episode of RWR with Alice Radley. Then, I returned to the tundra and honed my trades, only to return to Smackdown. That’s what life is… a series of down-endings. You start being ripped from the womb. Childhood is awesome, but you don’t appreciate it. Then you work. Then you die. So with that bleak metaphor…

Then we found out our RWR recording was corrupted and the file was lost. Alice and I had a fun conversation… but it seems that Barkley hates wrestling fans.

Hopping time…

I think I’ve actually worked out how to do a review now. It only took five years.

(more…)

I watch, write, and suffer because Joe can’t. Hi, it’s Mark here from the Impact reviews. Joe couldn’t be here today so you have me.

Oh this is going to be painful.

This is exactly what Jorge will look like when he’s doing RWR tomorrow night.

This week, the crew discuss independent wrestling, as Joe and Jorge recount their experience at Empire State Wrestling’s “WrestleBash” event.  Joe, Jorge, JT, G, and Mark are joined by Topher of ProWrestlingPowerhouse, and unexpectedly by Doc Knight and KATANA from Original Stampede Wrestling.  We cover most of wrestling television from the week, discuss the lack of continuity in the Brie Bella/Daniel Bryan WWE television relationship, and ponder the absurdity that was the Michael Strahan/Titus O’Neil/Miz segment from RAW.  In the news, are the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships really being unified?  What did Matt Hardy think of RAW?  Where is AJ Styles going next?  And more importantly, how is The Dynamite Kid doing after his recent strokes?  All these questions are answered to the best of our ability on BWF Radio!  Tune in!

This week’s break song was “Underwhelmed” by Sloan.  Buy it here!

Ahh.. Black Friday Night Smackdown. I wonder if everyone’s in the concorse of the arena mobbing the merch stand and Barrett Barrage Energy Bar souvenier stand? Maybe, or maybe not. In Canada, it’s starting to catch on too. I swear I saw almost half the country at Gordie’s Bait and Tackle, Hockey Skate Sharpening and All Purpose Maple Syrup Centre. Yep, all eight of ’em. They were all politely waiting outside in order to let the other people in, so the line never moved. Oh yeah, wrestling. Or as we up North call it, Le Wrestling, eh?

Hopping time…

I had bacon sandwiches for lunch today. No turkey for me.

Last night, the seeds were planted for a unification of the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships.  Jorge wasn’t happy about it, but it left me intrigued.  What will happen tonight on Monday Night RAW?  Go watch and find out.  Let me know what happens.  Oh wait, that’s my job.  Shit.  Ok.  Forget G, I’m with Xavier Woods – It’s Morphin’ Time!

This is the part of the review where I’m supposed to explain how my reviews work.  But you guys already know how they work.  I watch a TV show, then I tell you what happened, so that I can save you three hours of your life.  Which means, this text is only here to keep up appearances before the fold.  So stop wasting your time reading this and click the “Click to continue reading ‘WWE RAW 11/25/13 – Spears for everybody!'” link.  You know you want to…
