WWE Pays Tribute to the late Paul Bearer?

I wasn't at all surprised to see the tribute at the start of last night's "Monday Night RAW" for the late Paul Bearer. The show starts off with the biggest star that Bearer managed, The Undertaker. Taker made his way to the ring where the urn that Bearer was notorious for carrying, was set up. Undertaker proceeds to get on one knee in that famous pose of his, in honor of his late manager.  What happened next...sort of surprised me and to be honest...made me a little mad. CM Punk's music hits the arena and he comes out, interrupting what really was a touching tribute. I'm not blaming Punk because we all know, the wrestlers just do what they are told. I just want to know who, in the back thought that Punk didn't have enough heat on him, that he needed to go out and ruin a serious moment. I know, WWE used to be all about pushing boundaries but this is really pushing it. CM Punk is a great heel and I really don't see why the writers (or whoever came up with this idea) thought the Punk/Undertaker match at Wrestlemania wasn't already a huge deal.

On a much lighter note, a great moment came on last night's RAW when the extremely ridiculous character of Fandango came out to tell Tensai to pronounce his name correctly or he wouldn't wrestle him. Man, this is getting stale real fast. The good point came when Fandango brought attention to Naomi, saying he wanted her to say his name since she was the only one there with "...any rhythm and talent" and then saying she was "better than all this". Is this a hint that they will eventually start using Naomi more? I really hope so! I'm a huge fan of hers!!! Naomi is extremely talented and I can't wait to see her wrestle more!!!

Could Naomi be on her way up!?

Cody wants no part of Brock Lesnar

I didn't think I would be pumped as I was to see the New Age Outlaws wrestling again. I'm sure it's a short-lied reunion though, seeing as they are in the Lesnar/Triple H feud. Road Dogg and Billy Gunn were out last night to wrestle Rhodes Scholars when Brock Lesnar's music comes on. I loved the look on Cody Rhodes' face, like he was thinking,"Oh no! We're out!" haha As expected, Lesnar takes both Road Dogg and Billy Gunn out with an F5, leaving them laying on the mat as Paul Heyman tells the WWE Universe that Brock has accepted Triple H's challenge at Wrestlemania but only if they get to pick the stipulations. Sounds good up until Heyman says that they won't reveal the stipulations until AFTER Triple H has signed the contracts!!! Say WHAT!?

Smackdown 1-25-13 and Other Ramblings...

I really enjoyed watching Smackdown tonight. I was actually looking forward to it. It's been a very long time since I have been excited to watch wrestling. The main thing that had me interested to watch was, "The Shield". I have literally spent the last two days looking all over the internet at all things Dean Ambrose (or Jon Moxley, whichever you prefer). I do believe I have become obsessed...not in the stalker-ish kind of way though, no worries. ;) He is a very talented talker. His promos are beyond greatness! These past two days I have searched YouTube for his promos and matches and got stuck on Tumblr looking at Dean Ambrose tags. I think I may need an intervention. lol ;)

I've read others and heard others compare Ambrose to The Joker. I think that is a perfect comparison. His mannerisms and everything. His voice, to me, is a mixture of Michael P.S. Hayes and the guy from "America's Most Wanted", John Walsh. Maybe you all feel differently, I don't know. Just what I think. 

Back to tonight's Smackdown. It is really a shame that they are totally misusing Natalya. Who does her being Khali's "girlfriend" benefit? Not Khali and certainly not her. She is one of the best female wrestlers they have and yet, they never know how to use her. I mean, I guess being Khali's girlfriend is better than that stupid "farting" gimmick they put her in a while back. It was good to finally get to see her wrestle tonight. What drives me crazy is they brought her out to Khali's theme music and when she won, they again played his music. Ugh! She has her own! Why they feel playing his was a good idea is beyond me. 

Best In The World!!!

On to my man, CM PUNK!!! Punk is the perfect "entertainer". I say this because not only does he look good but he also has amazing wrestling abilities and his promo skills are off the charts! Easily, one of my favorites talkers. Being a wrestler, excuse me...."sports entertainer" is more than the ability to wrestle. You have to have presence...and CM Punk has that! Personality is a huge factor. That's why I really love Dean Ambrose too. He definitely has "presence".

Daniel Bryan is on!!! Love me some Daniel Bryan! This gimmick they have with Bryan and Kane is hilarious and I like it a lot but I hope they start doing something more and better with Daniel. What I'd like to see is Daniel being in a consistent and interesting feud with someone and him having some "epic" battles. We all know Bryan can fight. I just wish he was in a more serious role. 

Hug it out boys! ;)

Last thing I felt like mentioning was how glad I am to have JBL back on commentary! He always ends up saying something hilarious. My favorite line tonight was, "We got a knocked out goat". haha Oh that JBL. Daniel Bryan really does need to cut his beard or hair...either one...or both. haha 

Alrighty, well if you are reading this...thank you for reading to the end. Sorry I tend to ramble on forever! Thanks again! I'm thinking I might start blogging after every episode of wrestling. Not sure yet if I'll do it or not. Just a thought. ;) Thanks again for reading! Feel free to leave me your thoughts or complaints! ;)

AJ Lee's Kissing Another....

Ok, so how many other guys are they going to put AJ Lee with!? I mean, Dolph makes guy number 5...just this YEAR!!!

First, there was Daniel Bryan....which was cool because this is when the whole "crazy AJ" kinda happened. That's when her obsession started. Then, there was the hilarious kiss with Kane. I loved that one! She's all skipping around him and then...BAM....jumps on him and plants a kiss on  the Big Red Monster! :) Then...another good storyline was when she kisses CM Punk before pushing him through a table.

Next was John Cena, after Vickie Guerrero tried to get AJ fired for "having an inappropriate relationship with a WWE Superstar"...or something like that. Anyway...that kiss lasted freakin' FOREVER! haha Then comes the TLC pay-per-view when AJ cost John Cena the match. So...now she is with Dolph Ziggler. On the Live SuperSmackdown tonight, Dolph and AJ were pretty much making out in the middle of the ring.

Keep in mind, all of this has happened in one year! Is that the only storyline that they can put AJ in? I mean, she is an amazing wrestler and she is a good talker...so she is more than capable of handling something that doesn't involve a male! It was fine the first couple of times but now it's just getting tiresome.

We'll just see how this goes...but I really hope that she will be put in a title scene very soon. She can really pull the Divas division out of it's slump. Here's hoping!
