Bob-O's Random Ramblings: RAW 8/15/2011
Posted: Aug 16th, '11, 00:38
- 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...
