  1. WWE RAW 5/26/14 – RAW is Memorial Day

    Leave a Comment

    First things first.  Happy Memorial Day, and a thank you to those who have made that ultimate sacrifice to allow guys like me to sit here and talk about whatever the hell they want to on the internet.  Second, happy 3rd Anniversary to my beautiful wife, Mrs. ThinkSoJoE.  Third, happy birthday to my friend and BWF Radio co-host Mark Noyce.  Now that the formalities are out of the way, let’s get this 3 hour show out of the way.  This is one of those “I don’t feel like watching this show” nights.  So we’re going to skip through it and give you basically what you need to know to follow the current storylines.  Sound good?  Let’s go.

    I watch 30 minutes, leave, then watch the whole show from the beginning, just so you don’t have to.  Maybe that’s why ratings are slumping?

    Alrighty then.

    IHWE Radio host Michael McCurdy joins Joe, Jorge, G, and Mark after JT leaves to talk about his podcast, WCCW, BlogTalkRadio, IHWE founder David Fuller, porn mail, and much more.  Not necessarily in that order.  We recap the week in professional wrestling.  In the news, we talk about the downfall of the WWE stock, and investigations into it.  We talk about the WWE Network and the actual number of subscribers needed to break even.  We talk about the contracts of Mick Foley, Bret Hart, Sting, and Kurt Angle.  Speaking of Mick Foley, we play his HUGE announcement from this past week.  All this, and much much more on BWF Radio!

  3. WWE RAW 5/19/2014 – What do you know about May 19th?

    So.  Here’s an interesting predicament.  My computer is not currently allowing me to search Google.  So it might actually be somewhat difficult for me to find images to post in this review.  Apparently some jackass on the same wireless network I’m on was sending automated requests to Google which caused them to Ambrose “nope.”  So, let’s hope for the best!

    I watch 30 minute of RAW then leave for work to watch the rest here and type up what happened, mostly so YOU don’t have to suffer through it yourself.  Aren’t you lucky to know me?

    That’s one way to learn. Vince is probably greatly depressed right now.

    Jorge takes a day off, and Joe regails us with tales of his car crash and last night’s Empire State Wrestling event in Lockport, NY.  We run down the week in pro wrestling television, including Alicia Fox’s tantrum, Damien Sandow’s defiance, MVP’s heel turn, and The Shield’s beat down of Evolution and several lower card talents at once.  In the news, TNA may be having some financial issues, but could WWE be on the brink of destruction?  The crew throw out some dire theories on the future of WWE as the stock price continues to plummet.  Why did Harry Smith choke some guy out in Amsterdam?  What happened to Roman Reigns’ face?  What does Chris Masters have against Cesaro?  All this and more on this week’s episode of BWF Radio!

    Maybe if Adam Rose and Zeb Colter did DDP Yoga they’d be able to tilt their heads that far…

    On this episode of BWF Radio, JT proves that it’s not just our guests that have trouble getting through to the show.  G leaves early, but not before talking about the upcoming Original Stampede Wrestling event, “Taco or No Taco?”  Mark forgets about a fellow Brit, and Jorge…  well, we love Jorge (Simpsons reference!).  And Joe has to maintain order amongst them.  We talk WWE Extreme Rules, and all of the great wrestling television on for the week.  Brie Bella’s bad acting is discussed.  In the news, we talk about the whereabouts of Chris Sabin and Kaz.  We find out the depths of where the WWE stock has plummeted before discussing becoming shareholders ourselves.  We ponder whether or not you have to have an ACL before Kurt Angle can have surgery on his.  Dixie Carter puts her foot in her virtual mouth on Twitter again.  All this and much more, on BWF Radio Episode 125!

    You know, I think my couch might be a little too comfortable.  Last night I fell asleep watching Extreme Rules, which was a solid event top to bottom, and tonight I fell asleep watching RAW.  Maybe it’s just me recovering from the illness that kept me from doing this RAW review last week.  Who knows.  Maybe it was RAW that put me to sleep?  Guess we’ll find out over the next few hours.  Let’s go!

    Blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda.  You know my deal by now.  Watch at home, leave before it ends, watch again to review.  Just click the jump.

    On this week’s BWF Radio, Joe tries not to hack up a lung as the crew discuss TNA Sacrifice tonight on Pay-Per-View.  IHWE Hall of Famer Prince Al Farat calls in – or attempts to, as our incoming phone lines were down through the entire show.  We talk to Prince Al Farat about his career, his attempt to make it to WWE, his matches around the world with such stars as Ric Flair and The Great Muta, and his upcoming appearances including the IHWExperience, June 8th in Fort Worth Texas.  In the news, we talk about the sinking ship that is TNA Wrestling, the up and coming promotion that is Global Force Wrestling, and the completely dead promotion that is Extreme Rising.  Gregory Iron puts over our local indie here in Buffalo.  We learn why Mick Foley won’t sign his WWE Legends contract.  And why won’t Toronto mayor Rob Ford have dinner with The Iron Sheik?  All this and more on BWF Radio!  Tune in!

  8. WWE RAW 4/21/14 – Clever title here.

    Leave a Comment

    Alright.  In the interest of full disclosure, I really don’t feel like doing this right now.  I really don’t care what’s going on tonight on Monday Night RAW, and to be fully honest, I’m much more interested in the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, despite the fact that the Blues lost and as I’m typing this, the Ducks are losing.  There’s other reasons why I’m not really feeling this, but I will try to let WWE take me away from all the bullshit I’m dealing with right now.  So, screw it, let’s go!

    I only watched an hour before I left.  So, that’s fun.  Hopefully the rest of the show is better. (more…)

  10. WWE RAW 4/14/14 – RAW is WAR(RIOR)

    6 Comments

    No wisecracks or jokes to start this week’s RAW review.  WWE has dedicated tonight to honoring the memory of Warrior, and out of respect for Warrior, I will save such nonsense for the performers on the show.  For what it’s worth, the autopsy results are in, Warrior died of heart disease.  While the investigation is still ongoing, it should be noted that the initial reports say natural causes, so no matter what some TV talking head would have you believe, Warrior’s death did not involve drugs or alcohol.

    #RIPWarrior
