Bob-O's Random Ramblings: RAW 8/15/2011

[Bob-O]

- CM Punk STILL doesn't have a spot in the montage that opens all WWE Programing. But, Sheamus does! So does Evan Bourne! If you look real close you'll also find Chyna.

-Nice to see that they're finally giving Del Rio a serious push. I forgot how much I liked the guy. He came out to celebrate a major title victory and they didn't have a Fiesta! If this were Smackdown, they'd have a Mariachi Band and a Pinata. I always thought it was fishy that a guy with this kind of money would throw a victory party with decorations from the kid's section of Walmart, but I'm also not exactly "World Traveled" either. Tonight, however, it doesn't matter. We get our new champion, as is. Expensive clothes, cocky grin, and the belt where it belongs. It's a good night. Give 'em hell, Al!

- Haha, Morrison is going to "Take out R Truth on his terms". What!? What does that even mean? I mean, how do you screw up a Talking Head promo, John!? You get as many takes as you need, and they decided that THIS was the best one!? How bad is Morrison at promos!?

- So I figure this R-Truth vs Morrison Falls Count Anywhere bout was intended for Summerslam and they pushed it ahead to RAW because Kofi Kingston gets cranky when he doesn't get a PPV Bonus. I hope this means we're done with the Morrison/Truth feud. I know it doesn't, but I wish it did. As confusing as it is, these two have been holding each other back for two years now.

- Speaking of needing a Summerslam Payday, here's Miz and he made a whole angle about it! Jarred from Subway carries a sandwich with him everywhere he goes, and Miz has a problem with that and takes it. I sure am glad I went into RAW tonight spoiler free, because I certainly did not expect Miz to be cutting a promo on a sandwich, claim to be championship bound, then proceed to eat said sandwich. Nope. As a matter of fact, had I read that spoiler I wouldn't have believed it. First Punk returns, then Nash at Summerslam, and NOW this. Bravo, WWE. :ymapplause: Brah-voe.

- God. Did Awesome Kong have her baby yet? Maybe they could pull a Sin Cara. You know, dress up Percy Watson or somebody to look like Kharma just to tide us over. They could get away with it for a few months if they stuck to pretaped segments, long camera shots, and creative editing.

- What happened to Kevin Nash!? Damn? I honestly think he's drunk, because he used to be good at talking. I guess those times I'm remembering were back when he was drunk all the time. So maybe this is sober Kevin Nash? Whatever. Doesn't matter, Punk will save it. But seriously, what was he supposed to be talking about? "When a friend asks me to do him a favor, I do it. But, I hadn't been in the ring in while and I missed it. This was only business." Huh? It was a free favor to a friend. Last I checked, it doesn't get much more personal than that. Punk absolutely dominated and controlled their exchange, I thought Nash came off looking washed up. No sure what the miscommunication was at the end there, either. Punk was going to find Triple H, then stopped and stared blankly at Nash until commercial. I dunno, just felt awkward. On a side note, the 5th security guard in (the one that looks like Sean Morely) looks A LOT like Sean Morely.

- No shirt, no shoes, no service, Miz. Who thought it'd be a good idea for him to film those rediculous 7-11 ads in his ring gear? If this were a Sheetz his ass would be on the curb. Seriously though, NOTHING makes me thirstier than a grown man in his underwear screaming at a vending machine. Note that he did NOT bring these ads up when he was proving himself to Jarred...

- So Swagger wants to come under Vickie's umbrella. Gross. I mean, it isn't fair to assume that Vickie is screwing everyone she manages, but could you imagine the TEETH on those children?

- Is it me, or do our Tag Team Champions look like two CAWs when they make their entrance? McGuilicutty comes out in his trunks, pads, and a backwards baseball cap. He looks like the CAW you make with the sole purpose of putting your friend's name on it to beat the crap out of. C'mon, THEY SEND JOBBERS OUT IN ROBES! Otunga just looks like the guy that happens when you choose "Random". This, ladies and gentlemen, is the effort we put into the only guys on the roster that HAVE THE RIGHT to kayfabe be on both shows. Their taunts even look like they were ripped out of SVR!

- It's not like Cena to drop this CM Punk thing so soon. We're talking about the guy that took over a year to settle the score with Randy Orton. He's pissed at Del Rio for devaluing the WWE Championship by cashing in the contract he won instead of (still) not avenging the fact that Punk rolled out of the company with it and didn't beat him cleanly for it, instead of being pissed about the US and IC Titles being left off the PPV all together or that the Tag Titles are held by two guys inspired by CAW's that lost a handicap match... he's mad at Del Rio for being... predictable? Looking forward to the feud, not so thrilled about the logic behind it thusfar...

[Big Red Machine]

FINALLY! The long-awaited return!

if this means that Swagger gets more into the main event scene and vickie becomes a legit Manager, and not a cougar who screws every superstar she manages. i'm all for it.

Was it just me or did they scrap the whole business partner thing and made it seem like Vickie & Dolph had been dating all along? I dont think they even mentioned it was a business relationship at all last night.

no;If anything theyve certainly scrapped the dating relationship and its now just more of a business relationship,your a bit backwards there

[Rabid619]

Did you read what i said? I said it seems like they just acted like they were dating instead of being strictly business partners. They were talking about Dolph kissing Vickie last night which doesnt seem like something two people in a business relationship would be doing. They didnt even bring up the business relationship thing, which is why i said its like the scraped it last night.

What I gathered from it was Dolph acting like it was a Business Relationship, and Vickie frustrated that this is what it's become. What I think they're heading toward is that Dolph was using Vickie all along. Dolph was pretending to be her boyfriend so she'd manage him. Enter Swagger and we've got two things, a new tag team and an eventual jealousy/face turn angle for one of the two down the line.

YES I READ WHAT YOU SAID OR I COULDNT HAVE ANSWERED YOU. I dont know about him kissing her,,or any of what they brought up,but for a while now its been pushed as more strictly business,,no more of the "My Bf" stuff she always used to do,,the dating relationship was kinda fazed out before they left SD,,its been a while now

Yeah but both Dolph & Vickie had been saying it was just business after their relationship issues on SmackDown.

I was pointing out the fact that they acted like it wasn't just business anymore. It's kinda hard not to notice that they had been saying it was business since they came to RAW. Every time they've been on commentary they've always been saying it's just business and then last night they talk about Dolph not kissing Vickie anymore.

Thats what i was talking about, i did NOT say they were in a relationship as i had originally stated that they were acting like they were dating and having relationship troubles, a romantic one not business as they have been saying they were in since Dolphs debut on RAW. You think i said that they never said anything about Vickie managing Dolph being business only.

I know what your talking about AND what I think

- CM Punk STILL doesn't have a spot in the montage that opens all WWE Programing. But, Sheamus does! So does Evan Bourne! If you look real close you'll also find Chyna.

You may need glasses Bob-O. You can borrow mine but they're perscription. :p

I saw CM Punk in there. But it was only for a second or so. And only once

:-B I have glasses! They're in their case in my bathroom! They haven't moved from this spot since the week after I got them.

Nope. Are you thinking of the opening credits? I'm talking about the very first thing they play. The thing with Andre The Giant, Roddy Piper, and Harlem Heat calling Hulk Hogan the "n" word. The thing he referenced in his "Fourth Wall" promo.

[Earth Child]

oooh that montage. Nope he isn't in that one.


You have glasses yet you don't use them? I get so frustrated when I don't have mine on

[Bob-O]

I do! And, I don't! I get a free pair every year through my health insurance, and I think my eye doctor takes advantage of it. I don't notice a difference when I put them on.

[Rabid619]

Did anyone notice that Ricardo threw Cena's shirt back at him? Idk if Cena threw it at them to begin with or Ricardo just picked it up and threw it by i lol'd just now re-watching it on AM RAW. =))
