Wait. Two things of note:

1) WWE knows what tag teams are?

2) Snide remark #1 aside, given how protective (that is, paranoid) WWE is about insisting upon using THEIR trademarks at all opportunities, it's quite surprising to me that they're calling them "The Road Warriors" and not "Legion of Doom."
 
Love how they showed Rock @ the gorilla position.. I enjoy segments like that where they sort of break the barrier down.
 
So Team Bring It is exactly the same as Hustle, Loyalty, Respect? I'm still trying to decide between Team Edward and Team Jacob.
 
How come Michael Cole rips so hard on R-Truth but not Cena when he comes out with "I'll brush your mouth like Colgate?" In addition to being homophobic, Michael Cole is now also racist.
 
[quote name='Chase']Bret Hart's jorts > John Cena's jorts[/QUOTE]

In Bret's defense, jean shorts are still cool in Canada.
 
I absolutely love how the crowd is just shitting on Cena. Well done, Chicago.

It's 11:11, and we only now bring out the fuckING CHAMPION.
 
There's not a single person on Earth who actually thinks the Miz can beat up anyone.
 
I can't even find the words to describe how many things were wrong with that segment.

Holy shit.
 
So once again, the champ is an afterthought. Lame, but it was good to see Rocky try to lay the smackdown for a bit.

But now does Rocky cost Cena the belt at WM and allow Miz to retain?
 
That shit was crazy! Rocky messed up the kip-up thing. I can never do that move. Really thinking about buying Wrestlemania in hd.Never bought a ppv before.
 
[quote name='lombarvm']Should they have had Rock do anything in the ring before Mania?[/QUOTE]

Wwe logic = "let's have Cena FU the Rock to close the show .. People will order Wrestlemania to see how he retaliates!"
 
If WrestleMania ends with a Triple H win over the Undertaker and, either, the Rock magically forgiving John Cena for the cheap shot and accepting a handshake or John Cena putting the Miz and the Rock 'in their places", I will riot. I already forget to watch Raw. Those outcomes will not help me remember to watch WWE.
 
"Silly viewers. WWE is for kids" is the moral I got from watching that segment. It was still entertaining nevertheless.

This was a good Raw. If they replaced that horrible Kane segment with Gail Kim, the Bellas, or Maryse doing anything, this would have been a great Raw.

And in case anyone was wondering, Jericho got a score of 23 out of 30 on tonight's Dancing with the Stars.
 
Punk's promo was fantastic, Orton's rebuttal was...okay I guess. HHH-Taker-HBK was really good, but also too little too late since they crammed a ton of stuff in there that they SHOULD have done before, and saved five billion key story points about respect, loyalty, honor, and toughness into one segment. Rock-Cena-Miz was also fantastic stuff, minus Cena playing the race card randomly, but they gave a lot away for WM. Rock did the DDT, the elbow, got beaten down by Miz and Riley, and took an FU. I guess you're supposed to pay for 'Mania to see Rock get his revenge on Cena and cost him the match, because they did nothing else to see anyone on that match. Cole-Lawler was built up nicely with the Cole Mine FINALLY serving its purpose and Vickie doing Morrison's intro was fantastic. Trish-Snooki's deal was TERRIBLE, and that was after days of editing and no doubt many takes. Cole calling E&C one of the great tag teams in ENTERTAINMENT history was hilarious.

Quotes -

Crowd - CM PUNK! CM PUNK!
Punk - I’m gonna miss this. I have my doubts that when I arrive in Atlanta that the people there won’t receive me as well as MY PEOPLE in Chicago. And you are all MY PEOPLE! Just like the members of the New Nexus were my people and I witness RANDALL KEITH ORTON take them out one by one. Here’s the ONE glaring difference between Randall and myself - he lives in a fantasy world and I fancy myself a realist. The truth boiled down to its essence is this - whether you’re in the New Nexus, or you happen to live in the town I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN, I DON’T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU! You got punted in the head? It’s not my problem! My problem is Randall Keith Orton! If I want someone to fetch me a coffee or watch my back, I CAN GET A MINDLESS SHEEP TO DO WHATEVER IT IS I WANT! So now for weeks this monument us psychological advantage the Viper has built up has been NOTHING BUT A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY. Last week, Randall slipped up - he told the world…THE WWE UNIVERSE that he likes to travel in his big bus. Let’s take you back to that glorious parking lot! Let’s share this Hallmark moment. I know Randall Keith Orton cares about his wife and I take tremendous satisfaction in knowing that when she closes her eyes at night, she sees him as weak on the ground. Orton NEVER SHOULD HAVE PUNTED ME TWO YEARS AGO AND NOW I’VE COST HIM THE RESPECT OF HIS FAMILY. All the hatred has been keeping me warm, and Randy’s family will never look at him the same way again AND I’M JUST GETTING STARTED! I close this sick and twisted chapter at WM. (Orton comes out)
Crowd - CM PUNK! CM PUNK! CM PUNK!
Edge - SD GM Teddy Long says that I can’t lay my hands on Alberto on SD, but on Raw, I can?
Christian - Yeah.
Edge - Aside from the stupid sound effect, I always liked that guy.
Cole - Edge and Christian - ONE OF THE GREATEST TAG TEAMS IN ENTERTAINMENT HISTORY!
Ricardo - AAAAALLLLLLLLLBEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOO Del Rio!
Cole - I bet you wish you had a silk scarf - it’s way more “in” than a crown.
Cole - Hey King, DON’T BOTHER - I GOT THIS! CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!? I HAVE RECEIVED AN E-MAIL…ON MY IPAD! AND I QUOTE - After last week’s beat down at the hands of Michael Cole, I need to know if Lawler is ready for WM, therefore tonight, he will go one-on-one with the All-American American, JACK SWAGGER. HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT, LAWLER!?
King - It’ll be a good opportunity to get some payback for everything Swagger’s done.
Josh - Tonight, it’s the FINAL FACE-TO-FACE BETWEEN HHH AND THE UNDERTAKER!
Roberts - PLEASE WELCOME KANE AND THE BIG SHOW!
Cole - Gabriel is really coming into his own here on Friday Night Smackdown.
HBK - I’m really sorry about interrupting, but there was no way I was gonna miss this! This Sunday, WM 27. The BIGGEST MATCH OF YOUR CAREERS! On one side, you’ve got the Undertaker. The Phenom, the dead man, and the last outlaw, and the greatest streak of all-time. On the other side, you’ve got the Game HHH! The Cerebral Assassin, the King of the Kings, the 13 time world champ, and my best friend. After this Sunday, I guarantee you neither of you will ever be the same again. WM 27 NO HOLDS BARRED AND WITH THAT, I’ve just got one question. What in the world makes you think that you can do what I couldn’t!?
Crowd - HBK! HBK! HBK!
HHH - YOU GOT SOFT! The truth is, somewhere along the way, you decided it was more important to be Mr. WrestleMania, and you realized that you don’t have to win every night to be those things. I’m not Shawn Michaels - not even close. I HAVE TO WIN! AND I WILL WIN! 16 YEARS AGO, I WALKED INTO THAT LOCKER ROOM AND IT WAS FILLED WITH FUTURE ICONS AND I SAW ONE GUY WHO WAS THE GLUE WHO HELD IT ALL TOGETHER. I SAW HIM DO THINGS NO HUMAN SHOULD DO - TAKE A FLAK JACKET TO HIMSELF BECAUSE HE BROKE HIS RIBS. I WATCHED HIM CRUSH ONE ENTIRE SIDE OF HIS FACE AND WRESTLE THE NEXT NIGHT! I learned real quick that it’s what this business is about - he did it not because he had to, because that’s who it was. I learned I should pattern myself after that guy - he represented everything THE WWE WAS AND SHOULD BE - THAT GUY WAS YOU, DEAD MAN! I learned to respect you more and more every single day. There’s only one guy I respect more…as much as you, and that’s him. Six years ago, we were driving down the road where if one of us got to the point where we couldn’t perform, the other would tell him it’s time, and if the guy couldn’t accept it - we’d end it for him. I CAME BACK AFTER A YEAR OFF FOR ONE THING! I CAME BACK AND STOOD IN THIS RING FOR ONE REASON ONLY. AND THAT IS TO STAND HERE, OUT OF RESPECT, TO LOOK YOU DEAD IN YOUR EYES, AND TELL YOU IT’S TIME. That might not be a popular decision - you probably can’t see that, but I can see that. Here’s the thing - you will always be a legend. You will always be an icon, the phenom, and the dead man. AND I WILL ALWAYS RESPECT YOU MORE THAN ANY OTHER. But in six days, you will no longer be undefeated at WM. I AM THE ONE! AS IN 18 AND ONE! AT WRESTLEMANIA 27, DEAD MAN, YOU AND YOUR STREAK, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, AND WELL-DESERVEDLY - WILL REST IN PEACE!
Taker - If I ever got to the time where I felt someone should put me down, I’d want that person to be you. That’s the respect that I have for you. BUT IT AIN’T THAT TIME! And I know that you’re gonna kill yourself trying, but in the end, the streak will be alive and so will I! And if you don’t wanna take my word for it - ask him. Shawn walks around every day of his life as the man who gave me the two greatest WM matches of my career. And he came THAT close. Yet he still didn’t get it done! And now when I look in his eyes, I don’t see the same confidence. I don’t see the same arrogance. What I see is a man that I humbled. What I see is a man who will soon go into the HoF full of regrets! What I see is a man whose career I ended!
HHH - SHAWN! Tell him why I’m gonna beat him at WM! SHAWN!
Crowd - ONE MORE MATCH! ONE MORE MATCH!
HHH - SHAWN, LOOK AT ME!
Vickie - EXCUSE ME! SNOOKI, I HOPE YOU’RE WATCHING, BECAUSE WHAT I DID TO MORRISON IS WHAT LAYCOOL IS GONNA DO TO YOU. AND AFTER OUR MATCH, YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF IN A VERY FAMILIAR PLACE - PASSED OUT AND UNCONSIOUS!
Cole - Mixed tag rules - divas versus divas and superstars versus superstars.
Scott - Randy will you make it to WM?
Orton - I have serious anger management issues. I’ve ruined the careers of men who I barely knew. Simply because I could. Keep that in mind when I tell you that I’ve never EVER despised a human being more than CM Punk. The question shouldn’t be if I’ll make it to ’Mania, it should be will CM Punk make it out?
Danny E - IT’S DANNY E!
Trish - Great, could you just go over there and be Danny E? Thanks.
Snooki - I have sick moves and I’m ready. BRING IT ON, BITCHES!
Trish - MANIA, BITCHES!
Cole - MONDAY NIGHT IS THE RETURN OF WWE TOUGH ENOUGH - THE ORIGINAL REALITY SERIES!
Crowd - ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY!
Rock - FINALLY, THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO CHICAGO! Back to the city where it all started for the Rock. Chicago is a very special place to the Rock. The Rock competed in his very first WM right here in this building! The Rock, he never admitted this, but that night, the Rock was nervous. The Rock was nervous, but he did something that defined the rest of his life - first WM, the Rock DECIDED TO BRING IT! On that night, was the unofficial birth of TEAM BRING IT. THE ROCK BRINGS IT, THE ROCK’S FANS BRING IT, WE’RE ALL ON TEAM BRING IT. IT ISN’T JUST A SLOGAN, IT’S A WAY OF LIFE. YA KNOCK DOWN DOORS, KICK DOWN WALLS AND ANYONE WHO TELLS YOU YOU CAN’T, YOU ROLL THEIR INSECURITIES INTO A BALL, TURN THE SUMBITCHES SIDEWAYS AND STICK ‘EM STRAIGHT UP THEIR CANDY ASS! When you’re on Team Bring It, you go after your dreams, and recently, the Rock has had a dream of his own. That dream was that he came down here, and called out JOHN CENA! THE ROCK CALLS OUT JOHN CENA, HIS WANNABE RAP HITS, AND HE COMES OUT HERE LOOKING LIKE A HOMELESS POWER RANGER! JOHN CENA GETS IN THE RING AND SAYS YOU CAN’T SEE ME, AND THE ROCK SAYS THIS - HOW ABOUT I BRING THIS BOOT TO THE ASS, BUT THEN THE ROCK WOKE UP. This is reality. The reality is this - THE ROCK IS HERE. The Great One is HERE! AND THE ROCK AIN’T ALONE, THE ROCK IS NEVER ALONE, AND THE ROCK MEANS NEVER ALONE. THE ROCK IS WITH THE MILLIONS OF THE ROCK’S FANS. AND TO PUT IT IN WORDS YOU CAN UNDERSTAND, THE PEOPLE’S CHAMP IS HERE! (Cena comes out)
Cena - This is what I wanted. Rock, this is what I wanted. THE ROCK IS FINALLY BACK IN A WWE RING! And not just back - THE ROCK IS COOKING LIKE HE NEVER MISSED A STEP. ROCK, THIS IS WHERE YOU BELONG! DO YOU HEAR THE MILLIONS CHANTING YOUR NAME? Rock, years ago, when I opened my mouth about you, I was one of the millions. I didn’t know why ya left. And I wanted you back for moments LIKE THIS! Moments where there’s not an empty seat in the house cuz the power you have over people is undeniable. If you don’t believe me, look! IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME, LISTEN! If you don’t believe me, feel the electricity that can be brought BY ONLY ONE MAN - YOU! I’m glad you came back, and man, you were smoking. YOU EVEN MENTIONED MY NAME. It was like an honor - like when the Rock makes fun of you, you’re in. But I wanted to listen to what you had to say, and in the weeks following your presentations via satellite, because everything I said had both meaning and merit, but I wanted to know… (Cena sucks chant breaks out) I’ll get to that in a second, but I wanted to know what problem the Rock had with me. So I cut through the catchphrases and find out what problem the Rock had with me - there were lots of them. MY COLOR WAS WRONG! You were offended by the way that I talked, because I wasn’t raised in a certain place, the kind of music I listen to offended you. Hustle, Loyalty, Respect - garbage? The Rock has a problem with my moral code? My audience is kids? It is, Rock, AND I’M DAMN PROUD OF IT AND WHAT I’VE BECOME! IF YOU GOT A LEGIT GRIPE ABOUT ME NOT FURTHERING THIS BUSINESS, THEN WE GOT SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT, AND IF NOT, THEN WHO IN THE HELL ARE YOU!? WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ME!? WHO ARE YOU TO SAY I SHOULDN’T WEAR A CERTAIN COLOR OR GOD FORBID THE AGE O THE PEOPLE THAT WATCH stuffing instead of potatoes I LOVE! If that’s what it takes to be on Team Bring It, hold your application. I AM ME EVERY WEEK, AND SOME LIKE IT, AND SOME DON’T. I DON’T TRY AND CHANGE THEIR MINDS CUZ I AIN’T GONNA JUDGE. ONE DAY I WILL BE JUDGED, BUT IT WON’T BE BY YOU, GREAT ONE!
Rock - Oh yeah, Cena, you’re right - Rock ain’t gonna judge you. Only one man gonna judge you, and it’s the same one that judges the Rock - the good lord himself. BUT THE GOOD LORD CAN’T SAVE YOU FROM THE ROCK WHOOPING YOUR MONKEY ASS ALL OVER CHICAGO!
Cena - YOU WANTED ME TO ADDRESS YOU LIKE A MAN - I HAVE SAID EVERYTHING I HAVE NEEDED TO SAY TO YOUR FACE, LIKE A MAN. YOU WANT A FIGHT?
Miz - REALLY?! This is how it’s gonna be? Being upstaged by the O brothers - overhyped and overrated! Cena, in case you forgot, this past month, I’VE OWNED YOU! CENA IS GOING TO LOSE AT WM! But at least he’ll go down swinging. HE’LL GO THROUGH A FIGHT. Unlike you, Great One. See Rocky, Rocky…I know something that no one else knows. I know a secret. You are not going to do a thing tonight. NOTHING. I’ve done my research - your movies have grossed over 1.2 BILLION dollars. One of the biggest movie stars in the world won’t risk getting beaten up and embarrassed by me. AHEM, because it’s not a risk. IT’S A GUARAN-DAMN-TEE that if you even look at me funny, I will beat you so bad that you will not even be able to go into Hollywood. I AM THE WWE CHAMPION! AND I WILL STILL BE CHAMPION AFTER WM! SO GO AHEAD, ROCK, RUN YOUR MOUTH ALL YOU WANT, RUN IT LIKE ONLY THE ROCK CAN, BECAUSE IN THE END, YOU WON’T ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING. AND YOU KNOW WHY!? BECAUSE I’M THE MIZ! AND I’M AWESOME!
Rock - Miz, you should know by now that it doesn’t matter what you think!

AA! AA! AA! Cena went HAM! Great promo again, very realistic and truthful, which is why Cena strides. I can't see Cena losing at WM so I don't know what Rock will do. I'm thinking about ordering WM, I haven't ordered a PPV in years.

Hey Jay, you got a screen of Cena AA'ing Rock? Like holding him up in position before he does it.
 
[quote name='Ansé Solis']Even his punches looked slow.[/QUOTE]

Dude hasn't been in the ring in years. What did you expect?
 
Anyone going to Atlanta and need WWE Axxess (Fri or Sat) or Hall of Fame tickets?

Forgot these were in my package and I'm doing ROH/Dragon's Gate instead.

Very saddened by how they ended RAW.

I got a really blurry one live, here's a clearer shot from my DVD of the show.

This would be the opinion of the mainstream, right? It is very interesting to see this posted in this CAG thread.
 
[quote name='007']Three, Kane's random turns annoy me more than anyone else's. Wasn't he the most evil piece of shit on the roster only a month or two ago? Then, all of a sudden, he's a good guy doing the Santino motion in the ring. fuck. Off.[/QUOTE]

Gotta agree, although I guess I don't have an alternative solution since they never do anything with him that lasts more than a few months, with the exception of last year. They finally build him up into something worthwhile again, then piss it away in less than two months with one of the worst feuds of the year with Edge. Shrug. That's probably it for him, I'm not expecting him to be involved in anything worthwhile for the remainder of his career.

NXT spoilers for this Tuesday:

From here.

Matt Striker introduced the pros to the stage. There was an arm wrestling table set up in the ring. The rookies entered the arena. I guess arm wrestling is faster than regular wrestling, considering the time constraints.

Darren Young vs. Byron Saxton was first. The quickest first round finish gets a bye to the next round. Byron Saxton dressed like Sly Stallone in Over the Top. Young won in 27.7 seconds. Connor O'Brien beat Lucky Cannon by DQ in 11.2 seconds. Jacob Novak vs. Titus O'Neil. Jacob jumped the gun and thought he won. They reset and Titus wins in 3.5 seconds.

Conor O'Brian beat Darren Young in round two. Titus O'Neill beat Conor O'Brian in the final. The crowd chanted "Boring" through most of the segment.

1. Titus O'Neil, Byron Saxton, Conor O'Brian defeated Darren Young, Lucky Cannon and Jacob Novak in a six-man tag match. Using everyone in one match saves time. During the match, the WWE Universe Chicago chapter, broke out a "This is boring" chant. Gotta love the Chicago crowd. In the end of the pitiful match, O'Neil hit a sit-out slam on Novak for the win.

Smackdown spoilers for this Friday:

From here.

1. Kofi Kingston defeated Wade Barrett by DQ in an Intercontinental Title match. Wade controlled most of the early action. Kofi hit his corner kick and a top rope cross body for a two count. Kofi hit the Boom Drop and went for Trouble in Paradise but was met with a kick to the face for a near fall. Kofi hit a nice move and almost had a two count that was broken up by The Corre. Santino and Kozlov hit the ring but were laid out. Big pyro for Kane and Big Show. The faces cleared the ring and had a stare down with The Corre.

Jerry Lawler out to cut a promo against Michael Cole. Good promo by Lawler. Short and to the point. The King has new music.

2. Cody Rhodes defeated Chris Masters. Taz... er … Kane... No, it's Cody Rhodes under a black towel. Gimmick Infringement!!! Cole returned during this match (he left prior to Jerry's promo). Seemed slightly longer than the recent Cody squashes. In the end, a side headbutt and CrossRhodes later and Cody got the win. Rey Mysterio ran down and tried to hit the 619 three different times, but Cody wasn't having it.
