Road Dogg and Josh's "Are you serious" on youtube might be best thing about the WWE youtube channel. It's like mystery science theatre for wrestling.

kind of funny

Day 74.

Started off with the YMotD. Today's pick was La Parka/Psicosis vs. Juvy Guerrera/Rey Misterio from the late '97. Hell of a fun match as they just go balls-to-the-walls with all kinds of cool stuff. Enjoyed it immensely, plus Juvy got the big pin-victory as opposed to Rey Rey which was neat.

Next I watched Ring of Honor. This episode (from two weeks ago) would fall under the not good category, honestly. The opener with Bennett/Perkins was decent. The Ciampa-squash was fine. Edwards/Strong was the usual good match that got completely and utterly ruined by only the second Dusty Finish in ROH history. And I hate Dusty Finishes with a passion. When the Inside ROH is the best segment of the show, you know the show sucks. An off week, to say the least.

Match of the Day goes to Rey Misterio/Juvy Guerrera vs. La Parka/Psicosis.

I got it. Thanks again!

Nope, Goldberg beat the Rock like he was beating a midcarder in a PPV during his streak.

I hated the streak by the time it ended in WCW and I hated that Vince started it when Goldberg hit WWE.

I did too but the way they ended it was totally lame.

That was an awful Rock promo (the Goldberg one).

He had really slimmed down for a while.

Also, Goldberg sucked. Most undeserved push ever.

Chael is amazing. If I I were an MMA fighter, I'd do the same thing he does and just rip off pro wrestling promos. My nickname would be Captain Redneck and I'd yell MAN UP! a bunch and pretend to be the third Briscoe.

Best promo of all time.

[syxxpakk]

LEGEND.

Hey WWE, remember when you had the balls to turn your top star heel?

The first sign of fear is when a man answers my raw aggression with a nervous smirk.

Second sign is when he can no longer speak in public without reading his words. Have a nice night @therock

Day 75.

Watched Ring of Honor from last Sat. It was much better episode than the last. I will say that there seems to be a huge influx of dumb names being given to matches since Cornette came on board:

The Trial Series, Dual Duel, Ringmaster's Challenge, Blind Destiny, Rise and Prove tournament, Proving Ground, so forth and so on. Just seems dumb, really, the way they keep tacking these things on to matches as if they'll sell more tickets with it or something.

Anyway, this week's show focused on the Blind Destiny deal. The way it works is there are three matches with the winners each getting a match on 3/31 against one of the competitors (Strong/Eddie/Davey) in the three-way match (on 3/30). The added bonus here is if Eddie wins on 3/30, then he'll defend his title on 3/31 against whoever wins the right to face him tonight.

First up is Kenny King vs. Jay Lethal to face Roddy Strong. A bit of Russo-logic here as King is already being positioned in two matches on both days against the Young Bucks. So it's a huge lack of foresight in that regard. The match is good though, so there's that, but there's never any doubt about who's moving forward to face Roddy Strong on Day 2.

Next up is Kevin Steen vs. Adam Cole and again some Russo-logic is showing here. Cole is coming off of a huge win over Davey Richards at the iPPV. Why book him against Steen here? You're booking yourself into a corner because it's a position where neither man needs a loss here. And here's where it gets even worse: that whole sentence I just keyed refers strictly to live wrestling. This is taped. So what it shows is, again, a huge lack of foresight. I would guess when this show was taped they hadn't decided Adam would be getting the big win at 10th Anniversary. It's a good match nonetheless with Steen going over to fight Eddie Edwards.

Finally it's O'Reilly vs. Michael Elgin. Again, the lack of foresight shows at Kyle - who ended the PPV in a very distinctively heel fashion refusing to shake hands - comes off as the babyface here. Aye yai yai, what is going on ROH?! The match works though and it actually makes Kyle into a bit of a star, so there's that, as it's probably the best singles match he's had in the company. Elgin is his usual beast-self, winning the opportunity to take on Davey Richards on Day 2.

Better than last week because of the lack of Dusty Finishes, but man oh man what is going on with the booking? Some definitely questionable decisions here these last couple of weeks and I'm not sure what to think of it.

Match of the Day goes to Michael Elgin vs. Kyle O'Reilly.

doesn't Cena also have more facebook people or twitter thingies whatever they're called
