I've been trying, but there aren't enough leaks.
But seriously. EMMA. Back! AGAIN. For the......... something-th time! And apparently we now have Ye Olde
We-Have-A-Bunch-Of-People-So-Here's-A-Six-Person-Tag-Match Match.
You did it, Nibbles. Now chew through my ball sack.

The Teddy Long Memorial Semi-Main Event Segment? ...Okay, I
really was trying to make that shorter. Epic fail. I blame Emma for looking so good it ruined my ..words?

So John Cena is a "free agent"? Is this how they move him to Raw?

Emma could not be more fucking useless.
Yes she could. She could be Alicia Fox. Then she would be a complete waste of oxygen.

Any reason to believe that things get shittier on RAW when Steph disappears from being on-screen? I've got it stuck in my head that the current
spiral into deep mediocrity sort of started when she got rekt going through the table at Mania. And because she's not around (off doing whatever
corporate-y stuff in real life) there's no one backstage to put the brakes on her dear increasingly-demented old daddy and his favourite
catamite, Bukukky when they think up something awful to do to their employees.
Probably grasping at straws I suppose. Might be giving this show up entirely until SummerSlam thanks to the shit abyss it's fallen into since
April.
You know, everyone says it's not supposed to make sense, like that's the whole point, dude. And I'm just saying, you know,
that's like an excuse for lazy storytelling. Just don't sell me shite and tell me it's gold, all right? I might be stoned, but
I'm not high. You know what I mean?

Now I really want a version of that Titus commercial where they also include Apollo Crews wearing a propeller beanie.
Edit: They're going to make us think The Bear is Ambrose, but in a shocking swerve it'll be unmasked to reveal WWECW's The
Zombie.

Somewhere, Jerry Lawler is sad that he doesn't get to make all these bear jokes.
This match is totally worth it for the puns alone.

I think that Dean Ambrose shaped bear's got a future in the WWE.
Otherwise, fuck it. DID SOMEONE SAY BEARS!?!?!?

Personally, I'd say it was worth it for a Slater win, but I'm not even sure that's true. Also I guess a few bonus points for that
last failed attempt at a bear pun.

I posted my original opinion before the match ended, and I stand by it. Heath Slater getting the win is a bonus.

Since I wasn't paying attention, did they even have a match, or was that another super quick ambush? I'm assuming the latter. RAM's
the home of exciting cruiserweight action!

Apparently I'm only watching RAM for Joe and the Cruisers. Neville's the King, innit?

We should set up a wrestling show section on Rotten Tomatoes. Tonight's one is easily a 10% favourable rating if there ever was one. Anyway we
can get Vince to fall off a Diva (or off of Bukukky) and break a hip and disappear for a while? That's about the only way to put a stop to these
streaks of crap that happen every year with the TV programming for this company.

This keeps feeling like a Big Cass turn, but I really hope they take a different path. I'm vaguely leaning towards Big Show having a heel turn.
I'm not sure WHY he'd be turning heel against Enzo and Cass, but still.
Edit: NO, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SHOW TAKE ENZO OUT FOR SOME UNEXPLAINED REASON!!!!

Because why does Big Show ever fucking turn heel? Just because, that's why.

Things being what they are these days they'll probably rig it so it turns out that IT WAS ENZO ALL ALONG! in the heel turn no one anywhere ever
wanted.

At least we still have Cesaro and Sheamus. With their recently adopted attorney gimmick.
Also, you do a 2-out-of-3 Falls thing and start it this late. FOR SHAME.

And this is a pretty goodish main-event, in honor of Teddy Long.
What? He's still alive? Oh hell. Fire whoever reported that. (Note: this makes me happy, I like Teddy Long alive.)
Also, that Noam Dar joke made me giggle. It really is too late for me. Janerd? You can get guns, right? I'll give you some maple syrup for
some j-uns.

Hey, how about we take one of the greatest high flyers perhaps of all time and give him a submission move as a finisher!?
Fucking stupid, horrible bullshit. I'm sorry I tuned in.

Sounds like it was a good idea to tune out after the Joe-Lesnar brawl.
I'm just happy they looked like equals there which bodes well for their match. Orton and Rollins never got that in the build to their squashes
at the hands of Brock.
