WWE WRESTLING

I still can't believe Cena is not on the TLC card. I'm starting to wonder if we're gonna see pigs flying tomorrow.

I hear him and Kane are gonna have some interaction.

bit of a spoiler from TLC



edit: TLC Results

[spoil]Drew McIntyre defeats Alex Riley in a dark match(Riley's a jobber now apparently)

Oh Radio beats Perfection, WWWYKI defeats #HEEL(say it anyway you want it but FINALLY! IT HAPPENED and with Big O and Ryders Dad at Ringside!)

KofiBourne defeat Primo and Epico (meh nothing of importance)

Randy Orton beats Wade Barret(pretty much a game changer for this feud)

Beth Phoenix defeats Maxim Cover Girl aka Kelly Kelly(meh)

Trips beats Nash(saw that coming)

Sheamus squashes Jack Swagger

The Worlds Largest Athlete defeats The Worlds Largest Man...suddenly a wild Dragon appears and swoops the title out of The Big Shows hands making him the new Heavyweight Champion.

Cody Rhodes beats The 5X WCW champion(a match that didn't matter)

CM Punks Ice cream bars defeats MTV Guy and Mexican Legend(Punk will probably run with the title all the way to wrestlemania) [spoil]

so yeah there you go...

You saw Ricardo fly... that's as good as flying pigs :)

Saw the top two ROH alumni possess the top two world titles in WWE. Good PPV. Although what will be the fallout on Smackdown, I wonder.

A thing of fucking beauty.

now there's your ratings WWE, keeping the titles on the people who matter.

So Ryder, Punk and Bryan teamed together for the main event. THE MAIN EVENT,
Wade 1-UPs Orton putting him through a table,
Kane goes See No Evil on Cena,
And apart from the recap pics, no sign of Triple H.

I'm scared. This is happening too damn fast, TOO DAMN FAST!
Something bad is gonna happen I can feel it.

Did the latest creepy promo video get to you? j/k

OMG!!! I didn't know they had this photoshot. Amazing!
All these guys are the ones that make the rating.
No Cena = alot of people getting a chance to shine.

Also.......still no LongIslandIceZ episode 45? #AreYouSeriousBro?!

My god... I'm glad I began watching RAW weekly again.

yeah I know! I'm wait for the promo from Zack on his US Title Situation...its gonna be #SSSSSIIIIICK!

A small teaser.

you asked for it and here it is...Z! True Long Island Story Episode 45!

sadly it looks like Cm Punk might lose the title due to low ratings. :[
i hope not, for the first time in awhile i'm happy with the WWE.

CM Punk makes the ratings go down? They gotta be kidding me...
Don't tell me as well Daniel Bryan will lose the title later on too.

Also btw rewatched RAW. loled at Zack Ryder at some of his browski's trying to grab his camera, kinda pissed him off a bit in the crowd entrance.

Apparently accdg. to the wrestling "journalists" (I call them "worse than paparazzi"), WWE officials are looking to see if they can take the top title from CM Punk due to low ratings during his segments, in particular the main event last December 19 which garnered a very low ratings average than expected.

I realized what the problem is when I watched last week's Raw with several of my friends who occasionally watch pro wrestling. They knew CM Punk as THAT guy who whooped Jeff Hardy's ass, THAT creepy guy who preaches drug abstinence and shaves heads, and THAT guy who replaced Barrett at Nexus. When they tuned in Raw, they saw CM Punk, in white shirt and slicked-back hair and trimmed beard, with the WWE title, battling Miz.

They asked me, "he's the top guy now?" and then proceeded to ask me why Daniel Bryan is the World HW Champion and how come Zack Ryder has THAT title.

Here's the thing. WWE has catered to the wrestling fans who know a thing or two on outside-wrestling shenanigans (Zack Ryder's Youtube series, CM Punk's indy background, backstage politics) but what about the casual watchers? I mean, RAW's 3.4+ ratings aren't all from wrestling fanatics, a sizable pie portion of that may come from people who tune in just for entertainment, aka the "average" fan, the casual watchers and those who are looking for something to watch on a Monday evening. And judging from the stats, it seems they are being neglected by WWE on the "inside information" that I (and lots of smart savvy wrestling fans) have a working knowledge of.

WWE has fallen into the fallacy that all who watch RAW watch the "Z! The True Long Island Story" too, or understand (or even appreciate) CM Punk's repeated jabs at John Laurinatis. Hey, betcha that the average wrestling fan don't know John Laurinatis is Johnny Ace, and wrestled in Japan. Or worse, the amazing outside-WWE career of Bryan Danielson that keeps getting referenced.

We should have seen this with Sin Cara. I mean, the average wrestling fan don't know Sin Cara is a respected luchador who is renowned in worldwide wrestling promotions, so how can they appreciate him being billed as a "international sensation"?

I can now see why Vince in the past has been very, very adamant against using non-WWE-controlled history of their wrestlers, because he can't directly reference them or even show clips of their career outside WWE (without photoshopping several magazines for Danielson's NXT debut video) so that the casual WWE watchers can understand them as much as those who knew them beforehand.

The ratings are low. Because the promos and storylines have been too "inside" for the casual wrestling fan to follow. So I hope WWE lessens these little references, because it isn't Punk's or Bryan's or Ryder's fault.

No wonder Matt Stryker got booted out of the Smackdown announce table for reasons outside of "Booker T".

damn a lot to read but its true, WWE is having a hard time trying to figure out why the ratings are dropping from the looks of it they want to blame Michael Cole. They are also trying to keep Zack Ryder out of the main event picture with the storyline with Eve :[ this next coming Raw is going to be exciting huh? the promo of a return and if Cena will go heel? i think the possible return is Chris Jericho.

but didn't Jericho say that he didn't want to back to wrestling?

yes he did, but i think they want it to be a surprise, from what i found out today on smackdown they was confiscating signs that had Chris Jericho. well i don't know, thats just my guess that it will be Chris.

He also said that he wanted to take up a career of dancing from now on...so what does that tell you..?

Jericho always tries to swerve people like this. earlier in 2011, he kept on saying 'I'll be back next month' on twitter. so i'd take what he says about wrestling until he returns about as seriously as a David otunga match.
