Comment on RAW is WAR… backward. by PlanBFromOuterSpace

* I loved how Nexus taking Undertaker out was pushed as an “Oh my God! No one has ever done such damage to the Undertaker EVER!” type of thing, just a couple of weeks after Undertaker returned from an angle where he was taken out for several MONTHS. Showing Barrett’s finisher in slo-mo repeatedly made it look even less vicious than it already looks.

* In the Bryan/Miz segment, it really wasn’t a good idea to show that the MITB case was empty. Speaking of poor camera decisions…

* When Edge was stalking the GM computer, it was clear that there was a script sitting in it, but they never cut away or went with a different angle. We got to stare at it the entire time while Edge was doing his thing.

* At the end of the Morrison/Jericho backstage bit, shouldn’t Morrison have eventually asked him what they were staring at? I don’t know if you guys have seen Trey Parker’s “Cannibal: The Musical”, but it has a pretty good bit involving the oft-unquestioned “someone stares passionately into space while singing a song” routine.

Yeah, I called the finish to the cage match too after thinking “Y’know, Show hasn’t put anyone through the ring in….oooooohhhh!”, and sure enough, we were given Show’s semi-yearly ring destruction spot. I also remember the disappointment in there not being an HBK run-in during Angle/Cena, as the Angle/HBK feud was just getting started.

Just call it “London Calling.” Jesus.

I had it on DVR and I couldn’t make it through. I deleted it during the London Brawling bit.

We got Unforgiven 2001 when Angle won the belt a week and a half or so after 9/11. That card also had Undertaker/Kane vs. Kronik. Ouch.

For the most part, as long as Angle was on the roster, Pittsburgh was USUALLY treated pretty well when the ‘E rolled around. He was almost always a heel, but he probably got one of the better hometown reactions of anyone they had. I specifically remember something he said about Pittsburgh never producing anything else that was great, except for Mr. Rogers, but he was dead (having recently passed away at the time), so he didn’t count!

I did not go to No Way Out. I avoid WWE PPVs. I realize they will be painful and even though I have taken enough chairshots to kill a family if anyone would ever fall in love with me, I know when to say no.

I must not have watched too much NXT in the past, because when watching the triple threat match, I was under the impression that MAYBE the guy taking the pinfall would be eliminated, but the guy that wins the match is the one that goes next? WOW, so why was there a match again?

Also, I was soooooooo hoping that when L’il Perfect went heel at the end that he would say something about dropping the McGuilicutty bullshit and taking up the Hennig mantle, but again, that may have made sense too.

I also immediately thought of Khali during the Aloisia segment. If this chick ends up being any good, she could be a good feud for Beth Phoenix. I don’t like Beth as a face really when there’s no one bigger to challenge her.

NXT is shaping up to look like Diva Search 2010 I know you guys are in the Pittsburgh area too, so did any of you go to No Way Out 2005, when a good half hour or so of PPV time was wasted on a fucking Diva Talent Show or something? Not that the rest of the PPV time was used well, with gems like Taker/Luther Reigns and Booker/Heidenreich on the card, but Pittsburgh always seems to get stuck with Diva Search shit. I think we were treated once to 10 minutes of the diva hopefuls trying to seduce Kamala. Sure, we WERE where the girls ganged up on the one Playmate the one year and more or less called her a cum-guzzler on live TV, it’d be nice if our ‘E shows were a little less talky.
