This show sucked and this show sucked and it didn’t help that my TiVo screwed up but I’m pretty sure I’d hate them anyway.

It’s too much of a coincidence for everything to suddenly be under three minutes except the main event. Wonder why they made the decision.

When it’s up to the Heartbreakers (who I hated at first) and Tomko (who I hated at first and in a sane world I’d still hate) to cheer me up, something’s gone horribly wrong. We’re at the point where I’m wishing for people I like to get demoted (or actually just show up), so I can have some decent matches to watch the next few weeks.

I’ll miss Josh most of all.
I’ll miss Romero least of all.

I’m not sure if I’m playing this too subtle, but I have a large amount of distaste towards Matt Striker and how he’s been presented.

Comparing, I’m not a big fan of the process that gets Vito hired and on SmackDown, but I’m trying to only hold his own mistakes against him. What is the deal with that kick?

I rebooted the TiVo and it’s worked fine since. From checking the logs, it’d been screwing up all evening – wish I caught it sooner, so I could’ve seen Simon on a segway.

you heard it here first, and then you wondered why: They’re turning Tomko face. With the Heartthrobs stills existing, the Cowboys coming in, and near dead belts and champions, the idea of a third midcard heel tag team is a definite red herring. They don’t have a role as single wrestlers, but they have even less of one as a tag team – so they’ll be a tag team as long as it takes to get them something to do as singles. I figure it breaks down with Tomko getting a near title win with the boot, only for it Hurricane to get a foot on the rope or something, heel teamwork breaks down in a bad way late, and Dupree’s turned on him about five minutes after they got started.

Of course, since he’s Dupree and he’s Tomko, this is less about turning Tomko face and more about finding someone to feed to Dupree. But Tomko as face is still crazy.

If heel announcer Coach has problems with Kerwin, that makes Kerwin a – “character in our world, and we allow the fans to react to the characters however they choose; there’s no ‘good guy’ or ‘bad guy’ anymore, it’s all how you feel” oh SHUT UP. The WWE loves the idea of a person fighting stereotypes by embracing that stereotype to the fullest and occasionally having them yell at the fans for believig the stereotype. They love it a lot for a public company.

Latest scuttlebutt says the USA WWE Sunday show is now a Sunday morning show – which I guess means we’re going back to Free For Alls? The first PPV after the move is the 10/09 SD! No Mercy, so that’s when we find out. Anyway, if they don’t call the USA Sunday Morning show “Superstars”, they all need to be shot multiple times.

Four more weeks left. If there’s anything you want me to do with these in the time we have left together, you should le me know.
