For some reason, April 20 always reminds me of Rob Van Dam. I can’t think of another pro-wrestler that was on the cover of High Times. Ha! Anyway, if you’re into that particular herbal remedy, enjoy your day!
I was impressed with last night’s episode of Monday Night Raw. WWE had to call an audible (several really) since most of the Raw roster is currently stuck in Ireland due to Bjork throwing a tantrum and exploding a volcano in Iceland (or something like that). It wasn’t the greatest show, but it was good considering the circumstances. I enjoyed MacGruber (he managed to put Kozlov over) and thought Jack Swagger did well despite losing his match. CM Punk and Jericho were entertaining, but that shouldn’t surprise anyone.
With the annual WWE draft taking place next week, what are some of the big roster shakeups you’re expecting or hoping for? Any chance Cena will be assigned to NXT?!? (Only in my dreams, I know.)
Khaluber! FTW! He should be on RAW full time. Maybe the Undertaker, CM Punk, and Jericho to RAW. Send Cena and Batista back to Smackdown please!!!!! Also
@rpad what do you think is going to happen to NXT since Smackdown is to Syfy.
@ All
Happy 420! You know this is my favorite holyday! Also wtf is NXT? My girlfriend and I tried to watch RAW last night, just couldn't do it lol.
Ha! correction to my comment#1 since smackdown is going to Syfy.
@Big Blak
NXT is a show that the WWE has to showcase the up and coming talent. They have 6 or 8 of their development talent pair up with a WWE superstar to teach them the ropes and so forth. I have yet to watch it but then again i don't watch Syfy and that's probably why.
@ Tokz
Oh I get it NXT!
@tokz_21 WWE has been mum on the future of NXT. I like the concept and love that it highlights new talent, but I worry about its future. Perhaps it will go to another network?
@rpad
yeah but obviously no one was watching this show as much as you love it. If that's the case i can't see this going to another cable channel. It has to go to a popular basic channel, maybe the cw/wgn. I don't know anyone who watches the show they have their, what is it called superstars? Maybe it can replace that?
Happy 420.
My medicinal marijuana recommendation actually expires today. Since I haven't actually used it in quite some time… I couldn't care less really. Just one less thing to squeeze in my wallet.
I liked when R-Truth blew up… that was what's up.
oh yeah…
It's also my wedding anniversary today.
@N8R That was pretty funny. I wonder how they'll write it off when he appears on SmackDown.
Congrats to you and Mrs. N8R!!!
how many years? (N8R)
wait!!!! R-truth literally blew up?? (in the storyline) I can't believe i missed that!
@ Ray
I was thinking the same thing. I was watching it with my son and thinking "How am I going to explain this to him come Friday".
and thank you.
@ Smartguy
This is year 5 with the cuffs on our fingers. But we've been living together for 11 come September.
@tokz_21 Yes, R-Truth blew up due to faulty explosives work by MacGruber.
@topic Oh wow. I didn't realize RVD won the TNA Championship last night. Good for him!!!
@N8R
Gratz dude. Plans for today then?
Wow! I really have to watch Smackdown to see how they're going to explain this.
@rpad
Yeah that was the only ummm highlight of TNA. everything else was so awful still. I wasn't happy about the whole celebration of RVD winning though. They had confetti and some of locker room guys came out to celebrate with him. I was like what a way to bring down their own talent. This celebration should make A.J Styles feel so under-appreciated.
@ Smartguy
My wife is a home-body. She really doesn't like going out much. Besides, what ever we did, she'd be pissed if we weren't back home in time for Lost.
@N8R
Understood.
@N8R
I never knew you were married.
@topic
I didn't know RVD won the title either. This is what happens when you make me choose. There is nothing TNA can do that will make me miss the Undertaker.
Congratulations, N8. And don't worry about your son. I didn't know what the hell 420 was up until last year. After that, I think that one episode of Family Guy finally made sense. So maybe your son will grow up similar to the way I did and not really know about that particular "holiday". Also, you might want to invest in a DVR to solidify your marriage. I know it will save mine.
@ Mr. Padilla & Tokz;
How does one go about applying for this WWE NXT thing?
-M
{Congratulations!} N8R
FFXI humor if anyone was wondering.
@ Iceman
I meant I didn't know how to explain to my son how R-Truth isn't really dead.
@ Iceman and Sandrock
The missus and I thank you.
@Iceman There aren't any applications. It's all up to WWE.
@ Mr. Padilla;
In that case, we should form a wrestling league like "Wrestling Takedown Federation" and get their attention (a-la South Park). I can be "Captain Cubano" with my sleeve-less guyabera (google it), straw hat and cigar. I was abandoned and orphaned while my parents fled communist Cuba. I later learn that my parents were murdered by Castro's thugs for speaking out politically against the government. I vow to avenge my parent's death by climbing to the top of the WTF and earning a world championship belt so that I may senselessly beat Castro over the head with it. My moves will include the "Havana Headlock", the "Guantanamo Gnasher, and the "Miami Local Government Politician Trainwreck"
What about you guys?
-M
@ Iceman
I'll be a Rick Rude type character named "The Impreg-N8R". My moves will consist of "The Insemi-N8R" and "The Broken Prophylactic".
My catch phrase will be "You'll have my babies".
@N8R
Love the Impreg-N8R name…and happy anniversary, have fun watching Lost!
@Iceman
Your catch phrase should be, "Ever had a meat sandwich?"
Eventually, I could turn from heel to face and change my gimmick to "The Procrasti-N8R"… and I'll just wrestle you later.
I think I'd go old-school ECW. I could be 911's arch enemy, 411. I'd provide information to the other wrestlers. Or I could be The Brown Meanie.
@ N8R
Your wrestler name ridiculously funny.
@ Wrestling Name
I'll go by the name of PBJ (Proper Blak John) kind of like the GAME's (HHH) overly snobbish and regal character from way back. I was adopted out of the slums of Beverly Hills by an uber wealthy British family to be trained in the arts of being proper. Some of my more proper moves include the Monocle Meltdown, the Botox Bailout, and the fan favorite Above the Law.
I could be Corporate VP. My moves would include, Government Bailout (a fake out power bomb that throws them over my back and out of the ring), The Stoke Exchange (a DDT to make sure you are as low as my stokes), and the Workers Layoff (looks like the peoples elbow).
Correction: Stock Exchange. It's still too early for me.
@n8r
the impregn8r definitely needs to rock a roethlisberger jersey
my favorite wrestler of all time is mr perfect, as you all may know…that was the best gimmick ever
i also liked heels like rick "the model" martel and Irwin R Schiester and the genius..i would want to be someone like that
@ Thundercracker
I was thinking a shirt with Jon Gosselin on it and being led to the ring by Nadya Suleman.
@ Thundercracker
@n8r
i bet the bills go out and get ben, if you guys DO end up trading him
btw, suspension is supposedly a minimum of 4 games
@thundercracker
I look forward to Da Bears beating the Bills in Canada! Also, why are the Bills now playing one game in Canada these past years. I know they have Canadian fans but doesn't that take away from the team's stadium revenue?
@tokz
they are trying to expand their fanbase, i kind of enjoy the game in toronto…havent been yet though
i was at the last bears/bills contest in buffalo and you guys took the loss there. I dont see the result being any different this time around either
i talk smack because im too proud to cry
@thundercracker
i thought they already had fans in Canada? Isn't that why they said they were having the game in Canada last year? yeah the bears did take the loss but that's last year and i see Cutler having a better game this year.
@Thundercracker
I think Buffalo is the top spot he could wind up. If Ozzy can sing a disco song then Ben can go to Buffalo.
@tokz
no we havent played the bears in years…too lazy to look up when it was
they do have fans in canada, but once a year we loan our team to toronto, so they can feel like they are playing a home game up there.
really man, nothing the bills do makes any sense to me
i really want cj spiller..then id like to trade our first round pick next year for ben, then draft demerrius thomas in the second round (wr from georgia tech)
ben needs to learn how to throw the ball real quick though, cause we have no one to protect him
@ Thundercracker
1) He's not getting traded… and we expect the news from Goodell to come today.
2) Don't expect him to put up the stats he has for the Steelers on any other team. I don't know if you saw any of the games during the season that our entire O-Line was injured… but Ben fell apart. I think we went 5 and 11 that year if not, 6 and 10. Without a strong O-Line… Ben kinda sucks. Remember, he got drafted from the University of Miami Ohio.
3) The Bills would probably be the first in line if this Twilight Zone scenario were to occur.
@ Thundercracker
You beat me to the O-Line punch.
