  1. RYTMANS RAW REVIEW – 08/13/2012

    4 Comments

    Let’s do things a bit differently this week.

    MATCH RESULTS

    • CM PUNK VS BIG SHOW – NO CONTEST: It’s basically Big Show dominating, with Punk fighting back from behind until Daniel Bryan comes out in a full mad-on. Bryan slaps the “no” lock on Punk and Show joins in for a “little rough up the champ” action until Cena makes the save. AJ comes out and pulls a “Teddy,” making a tag match for later in the night.

    • RYBACK DEFEATS JTG – This was in response to JTG griping backstage about not getting TV time. It’s the same match we’ve seen for about… ever.

    • R-TRUTH DEFEATS HEATH SLATER – After the match, the PTP (minus AW) run in for a beat down on R-Truth. Kofi supposedly is out of the country, leaving Truth outnumbered.

    • SIN CARA DEF TENSAI – Tensai spends most of the match overpowering Sin Cara, until the Lucha legend side-steps him into Sakamoto and hits a DDT from the top rope. Tensai beats down Sakamoto after the match.

    • DOLPH ZIGGLER DEF JERICHO/THE MIZ (3-WAY) – Jericho won a twitter poll to be the guest on Piper’s Pit. After a few minutes, Ziggler and Vicki come out to run Jericho down. Miz joins in and tries to kick Piper and Jericho out. After Jericho cleans house, we get a commercial break. When we come back, we’re told AJ made this match via twitter. Dolph gets the pin on the Miz.

    • LAYLA & KAITLYN DEF EVE & BETH PHOENIX – Pretty standard tag, with Layla actually trying to show some personality. (Nice spot with Layla butt-bumping Eve in the face.) Ends with Kait rolling Beth up for a three count.

    • JOHN CENA & CM PUNK DEF BIG SHOW & DANIEL BRYAN – Interesting theme here. NO ONE wants to tag out on either side. Bryan tags in whenever Show gets close. Show gets more and more bothered. Cena tags in whenever Punk gets close. Punk returns in kind. Punk and Cena do the “stealing each other’s moves,” routine, and eventually both Show AND Punk wash their hands of the whole thing. It ends with an AA on Bryan for the pin, and Punk rescuing (?) Cena from an attack from behind by Big Show.
    • DAMIEN SANDOW DEF CHRISTIAN – I have NEVER seen Christian jobbed out like this. Christian gets in an elbow shot from the top rope, but when he follows Sandow outside to the floor, and gets sent into the steps, Sandow bounces his head against the steel steps. Brodus Clay hobbles out on his bum leg to distract Sandow, but all Christian gets is a roll-up for two. Sandow ends this with his neck-breaker variation.

    Okay so, why the new approach? Well one, I’m sick of being up till three in the morning trying to recap EVERY segment in detail, and two, I wanted to get that stuff out of the way for my 1st official…

    RYTMAN RANT!

    Re: This show’s pacing, W.T.F?

    Here’s the deal, we have Shawn Michaels guest starring tonight. Apparently, Triple H’s flight was delayed, and he’s not there yet, so Shawn is scared. Every segment is Shawn looking over his shoulder like Daffy Duck during duck season, waiting for his inevitable Brock Beat-down. Eventually, Shawn is in the ring with Brock and Paul Heyman, and Hunter rolls in just in the nick of time to protect Shawn (which is a whole other thing) and sign the contract. Brock signs and leaves. Perfect spot to end the show…

    Except we have 15-20 minutes left.

    Okay so, umm… commercial break!

    And we’re back. Well, okay… let’s have a shot of Shawn and Hunter having a heart to heart that ends with Shawn walking off possibly pissed at Hunter. And we’re out!

    No we are not.

    Hoo-boy, okay-commercial… and interview Big Show about going into Summerslam-WAITAMINUTE! SOMETHINGS HAPPENING IN THE PARKING LOT! Heyman is blocking Shawn’s car with his car. They’re yelling at each other, AND LESNAR GRABS SHAWN! The camera goes black and we hear Lesnar beating down Shawn.

    Okay, end on a cliff-hanger; what happened to Shawn? Good, we’re out-no we’re not.

    We come back from commercial (notice a pattern?) to see Hunter and everyone else who wanted some extra camera time worrying about Shawn. We cut back to ringside where Lesnar has Shawn up in a fireman’s carry and is walking to the ring. Shawn takes the F-5 and as Hunter runs to the rescue, Lesnar locks on the arm-breaker. Heyman warns Hunter not to take another step, or Lesnar breaks Shawn’s arm; which he does anyway. Raw ends FOR REAL with trainers trying to help Shawn, and Lesnar running away with an evil grin on his face.

    And Raw comes in at 10:01 p.m. here in Chicago.

    Seriously

    We honestly couldn’t have Shawn get beaten up at the beginning of the show? We couldn’t put this contract signing crap in the middle of the show and get it over with in time for (what should’ve been) the main event? Did you guys try SO HARD to end on time that you wound up short? Could you have given that extra time to, maybe Christian/Sandow?

    This was a HUGE step backwards, I’m sorry, it is. You went from going overtime with the Main Events over the last two weeks, to going under trying to make time for a stupid segment that you had to strrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch out with false endings to fill up time THAT YOU TOOK AWAY FROM THE MATCHES!

    (Sigh)

    Seriously WWE, re-evaluate your damn priorities before Raw goes the Nitro route.

    As the wind blows and the snow falls down, I have to wonder, it was 60 degrees here yesterday, wtf?  Well I guess thats weather in JTland.  But as the race-car drivers get ready to drive in circles for hours on end and the NBA prepares for it’s all-star game, let us not forget that there is still a lot going on in this world we have here plus Screamfest is tonight: (more…)

  3. NXT season 2 8/3

    Despite every other show for this week’s WWE programing recorded last week I haven’t heard any spoilers for this weeks show.

    According to the program preview we get the first NXT kissing contest.

    We open with a replay of the elimination of Eli Cottonwood and his attacking everyone as the show ended.

  4. Smackdown: 06/09/10

    Up here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, we kicked off the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth – The Calgary Stampede today. Well technically it starts on Thursday, and technically, it’s not that great, rather just a midway that travels throughout the Great White North and a big rodeo competition. I wonder what happened on Smackdown subsequently… (more…)

  5. NXT Season 2 6/15

    We’re onto our second week of the second season of NXT with half of the roster yet to wrestle. Last week we had two tag team matches, pros teaming with rookies.

    This week Kaval being “mentored” by Lay-Cool should break up that streak.

    We open with Matt Striker in the ring. He talks about unanswered questions after last week. So they bring everyone back out to answer those questions.

    Alright, I’ll admit, I still haven’t had a chance to fire up the DVR.  I did actually take a moment to read Drowgoddess’s excellent review from last night, and I can give a little more detail of what didn’t make TV.  There wasn’t much that I didn’t mention last night, but here’s a few things – and something a little special, a BWF exclusive…

    Before his match with Kofi Johns– er… Kingston, rather, Chris Jericho insulted the Buffalo fans and sports teams.  The fans chanted “YOU SUCK” at him, but Jericho says “I couldn’t possibly suck, because I’m not from Buffalo.”

    Speaking of Buffalo’s sports teams, during the break after Kofi destroyed Orton’s car, while Orton was pouting about it in the ring, one of the Buffalo Bills offered him a tissue from the front row.

    Jamie Noble got a little mic time, he said he’s just like the Buffalo Bills, and that when people tell him he’s too small, he points out how Doug Flutie had some NFL success.  I guess that was supposed to be an insult, but nobody in Buffalo has given a crap about Doug Flutie since he left.

    The opening segment must have been boring.  A whole section of the video wall entrance thing fell asleep.

    There’s always the joke to be made that Bob Holly should have came back as “Sparky Plugg” for the night with Kyle Busch and Joey Logano hosting, but fear not – Holly was indeed there, as evidenced by this photo:

    Those DX glow sticks are $15 at the merch tables.  Despite the fact you can buy a package of glow sticks at the Dollar Tree for 1/15 of that cost.  Doesn’t stop people from buying them though.

    And here’s something very special for you guys.  This is EXCLUSIVE to BoredWrestlingFan.com (though, I suppose that it’s property of World Wrestling Entertainment, and it will certainly be removed if I get a letter like the one Hornswoggle got last night).  This is the very end of the dark main event of last night’s show!

  7. ECW in REAL TIME! 4/14/09

    It’s been a long, long time since the last time I real-timed anything here on the site, but since I’m awake and finally watching ECW for the first time in a few weeks, I figured, why the hell not?  We’ve got some friends in attendance tonight in Knoxville, including WorldWrestlingInsanity’s RDLee, and the man who will be debuting here Thursday night with a WWE Superstars review, tharvey1, so we’re looking for an “AARON WOOD SUCKS” sign.

    Show’s starting, so meet me on the other side of the jump! (more…)
