Goodbye Edge

While I will not be able to view WWEs flagship program RAW till tomorrow, I did in fact catch a major story developing out from tonight’s show

Edge has thrown in the towel

Now I wouldn’t normally post anything about superstars retiring, but Edge is quite special to me, for you see, he is one of three wrestlers that got me into professional wrestling

Those three were, 

Shawn Michaels

Randy Orton

And of course, Edge

The reason being was that these three outstanding wrestlers are the sole reason I got hooked onto the program.

Back in 2007, I decided to finally check out a episode of RAW after playing through the Smackdown V Raw game I had previously got for Christmas. For those keeping track, this was just when Triple H blew out his knee when taking on Rated RKO.

Now, the story was simple, Rated RKO had took out half of DX, and wanted to finish the job, so the next week, the entire show was built around this handicap match, and whether or not Shawn could survive it.

It featured some great segments, such as Flair and Hacksaw being taken out, and Shawn going crazy saying ‘if I’m going out, I’m going out in a BLAZE OF GLORY!”

The match itself however, featured quality storytelling

Shawn was busted open early, and couldn’t stop the attack of Edge and Orton, but just as Edge was about to deliver the con-chair-to, Shawn kick up, and started his comeback, which involved him pulling out the sledgehammer, and I swear I thought at the time he was being possessed by Hunter (though now I understand it as Shawn being one of the greatest of all time).

The show ended with Edge scrambling up the ramp, while Randy suffered a con-chair—to from Shawn, so while it was political justice, I was hooked into it, as these three men had just taken me on a hell of a ride

So after hearing that Edge has had to hang up the boots because of spinal injuries, I couldn’t help but feel a touch of sadness.

Thank you Edge, you where truly one of the best of all time, my only regret is that I only ever got to see you in action once.

You will be missed

stop ya bitching

we meet again

Anyway short and simple people

Have you ever noticed on Q/As or message boards people complaining about how wrestling is today, saying that the old eras were better and cooler and such?

Funny that I swear they were saying that during the Attitude era, and Brett Harts era, and Hulk Hogans...

I see a pattern here

Look, there is no real point about bitching about what has come and gone, and what is going on right now, sure criticism is welcomed, but if you are just going to continue to compare eras, then please stop. It's getting on people's nerve.

Just sit back, and enjoy what you can.

Its a Pee Wee Raw of an ep

The road continues to Survivor series

In a prelude to their match at survivor series, Wade Barrett and Randy Orton both picked tag partners (David Otunga and R-Truth respectively) to face off in the main event, and the twist? John Cena as the special guest referee.

The match served a verity of purposes which was done really well, it built up the WWE title match, gave Truth and Otunga a chance to shine. And added another layer to Cena’s inventible choice in 3 weeks.

I’m still looking forward to how this will all play out

Just being a smark here, but I’m envision two scenarios for this, One Barrett wins, then offers Cena a place in Nexus, in which he agrees, or two, Barrett wins, and being a man of his word, says Cena is no longer apart of Nexus, and that is because he is fired.

But hey, I’m not a booker so that s highly unlikely

Other thoughts to the show

Overall the show wasn’t bad, there was a fun matchup between Dibase and Daniel Bryan, in which Bryan won with a submission which was followed by Dibase saying (well screaming) after the match that he was going to break up the wedding (refereeing to the Goldust wedding taking place tomorrow night on NXT). There was a funny little video with Vince waking up from a coma after finding out Linda had spent 50 million dollars in her campaign ( Stephanie cameo FTW) and wait for it, a actual women’s wrestling match on Monday Night Raw

Clearly this is a sign of the fore coming doom!

Pee Wee segments where funny, I have no idea who he was, but hey, we got a Lita cameo and a verbal battle between him and the Miz, who once again held himself on the mike.

Was it really necessary to have Big Show (a smackdown star) to be on RAW? Couldn’t they have had Henry just come out and get a beat down? It’s not like they have any plans for him...

Truth seems to be getting a slight push, featuring in two backstage vignettes and the main event.  I’m willing to bet he’ll have a role in the story down the road

Santino was sub-par funny, after Sheamus beat Vladimir, Santino tried to buy him off, before Morrison made the save, more Morrison and less Santino would be great, I’m just saying

Oh look, THD are still fighting, I wonder if this leads to Uncle Brett coming back and motivating them to fight as a team again, nah that won’t happen.

PETA message to vince

Well been awhile since I've updated, but Uni has been keeping me away from Wreslting.

So for your reading pleasure here is the exact copy of the Fax sent to Vince

Vince McMahon

Chairman and CEO

World Wrestling Entertainment

1 page via fax:

Dear Mr. McMahon,

On behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the WWE fans among our more than 2 million members and supporters, I'm writing to toss our name into the ring as yet another proponent of the push to bring back Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson). I might not personally carry the same clout as other Bryan supporters like John Cena or Shawn Michaels (although I do consider myself "The Showstopper of PETA"), but I am, along with many of my colleagues, a huge Daniel Bryan fan, not only because he humiliated the Miz and Michael Cole a few weeks back on Raw but also because he's vegan.

Lots of athletes, including baseball slugger Prince Fielder, the NBA's Raja Bell, MMA fighters K.J. Noons and Mac Danzig, and Olympic Legend Carl Lewis, show that vegetarians often leave meat-eaters in the dust, gnawing on their greasy chicken wings as they wonder what hit them. But Bryan represents the quintessential vegan badass. He knows that unlike WWE superstars, animals beaten to a pulp by the meat industry don't want to be there. The worst Hell in a Cell match is nothing compared to what animals in slaughterhouses go through, such as having their throats cut and being scalded alive and dismembered, often while still conscious. Even Mick Foley couldn't withstand that kind of abuse. Just by being vegan, Bryan saves more than 100 animals a year, a feat far more impressive than any of Jack Swagger's "accomplishments." Savvy athletes go vegan for the health benefits, too, as they slash their risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

So what do you say, Mr. McMahon? Bring back Bryan and let him prove that he belongs. And maybe there could even be a storyline romance between Bryan and the gorgeous vegan diva Tiffany! (Who, in your PETA fans' opinion, deserves another shot at Layla.)

Sincerely,

Dan Shannon

Director

You do know that wrestling is fake, right?

you know i just because you ask a question doenst mean I'm going to post it, also i know wrestling is scrpited, much like most TV and movies. its just a form of entertainment I enjoy

Ask me anything

Daniel Bryan

Well what a week huh?

Look to keep this simple, If you have not already read KICKOUT blog on this news, then go to his page and read it. I for one now belive what he has written to be the truth, and fans there is no denying that this isn't a work, people it's legit, so let's deal with it.

Daniel Byran, star in the making

Lets keep this short and sweet

If you havn't watched NXT yet, go on wwe.com, and look at Bryan Danielisons farewell video.

During it, he cut one fantastic promo, in which he abused the WWE machine and said he was kept down because of his size.

Simply before this week, I had my doubts about Daniel Bryan, but after this, I'm convinced he has all the ability (minus look) to become a main event player.

the internet all say he will just hit that glass ceiling like so many before him, but I say they are wrong. I say right here right now, Daniel Bryan will be a world champ. The IWC have been wrong on so many occasions (aka Miz) and they will be wrong today. Daniel bryan showed why he deserves that push, and WWE have shown how they are the king of storytelling. They don't back down on thier writing and change it as they go, they keep it simple and keep it to one point. god only knows what would have happened if Daniel went to TNA.

thats a vent
