Tumbleweeds and crickets chi...Yeah man, too quiet! Tumbleweeds and crickets chirping... all that shit. I've been watching a lot as well, just haven't been posting as much. I think maybe the only way to do regular posts is if it's scheduled and self-disciplined. For instance, I really like your monthly pre-PPV posts.<br /><br />I'm watching Raw, NXT, and ROH on the regular. Smackdown and Main Event I kinda skip through if I watch them at all. I watch EVOLVE and DGUSA events a bit at a time. Deeply mourning Chikara. <br /><br />My favorite wrestling documentaries (for your roommate) are Memphis Heat and Wrestling with Shadows. A Matter of Pride is really good, too. As far as watchability for a non-fan goes, Memphis Heat is still really entertaining, Matter of Pride is still interesting, but Wrestling with Shadows might be too politic-heavy for a non-fan to appreciate. You've probably seen some or all of those, so whatever you think he might like.<br /><br />Mark Henry's promo from a few weeks ago was probably the best "swerve promo/surprise attack set-up" I've EVER seen! There was no way I was going to spoil it for you guys, which is why I didn't mention it in my last post, but holy shit was that awesome. I've re-watched it four or five times, and will keep re-watching it. Alice and I were holding hands on the couch, getting all choked up and everything, and when Henry hit that WSS we went absolutely bananas! Ziggler's flying elbow from the ramp was also pretty awesome. Add in the Punk/Lesnar setup, and we had a fantastic episode. Since then, it's been good, but not so explosively kick-ass.<br /><br />Not to ramble on too much, but you made some cool observations that I want to respond to.<br /><br />-Cesaro and Zeb make a hilarious team. Maybe it's cuz Cesaro's always smirking, and they're both so good at what they do. I wish Swagger had stayed gone. And I'm glad Cody is getting some recognition on this site, he's really underrated.<br /><br />-I agree that Ambrose hasn't had any "great" singles matches yet, but I thought he had some really good ones with Kofi over the US title. Ambrose out-wrassled the bejeezus out of him.<br /><br />-Miz sucks wild gorilla ass.<br /><br />-PTP have a lot more potential than they're being used for, that's for sure. I like that the Uso's have gotten more TV time, even though it's so they can put the Shield over and fade away again. Tag teams deserve a much bigger piece of the WWE pie, especially bookend tag teams.<br /><br />-RVD/Ambrose is a great idea for a program. Or, it would have been 5 years ago. We shall see.<br /><br />-I know what you mean with Christian. I agree, though I'd give Jericho a bit more credit. I might just be playing favorites, though.<br /><br />-I think Sami Zayn will be fine.<br /><br />-Totally agree with the assessment of Big E.<br /><br />One thing that's been bugging me concerning the upcoming PPV: The Raw MitB is 100% good guys, and the Smackdown MitB is 100% bad guys. How successful could they be if there's no good/bad tension within them? It's weird. Plus, unless the titles change hands at the PPV, the good guys will be competing to face Cena, and the bad guys will be competing to face Del Rio. More good v. good and bad v. bad. Does that mean both titles will definitely change hands, or will we see some more turns in the next week? Also, and I swear this is the last thing, it bothers me that the Smackdown MitB is all "up-and-coming" roster guys, except that Swagger has already won a MitB match, already been a World Champion and was very recently a #1 contender. Just cuz he sucks doesn't make him an up-and-comer. That spot should be Langston's.Quarter Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313227869653540296noreply@blogger.com
