Is the fix in?

Welcome back once again. I am the Armchair Mouthpiece, the lord of the lazyboy. And i'm here to hit you with the truthfacts.

It's that time again, another Raw has come along. So it's time for me to give my thoughts about it. What I think. You, the readers can think what you like, feel what you like. This is what I think. It's just me saying "here's my opinion, do you agree? why/why not?" If you don't like it, go suck a lemon.

So I'll be honest. I, like I'm sure a lot of people are focused on the main storyline that we're seeing at the moment, the CM Punk, John Cena, HHH and Rock saga. So once again most of what i'm writing will be to do with that.

I don't like that there's been no build up for anything else on Summerslam, at least from the RAW side of things. I mean aside from the Diva's Championship match. Which, for once, I'm at least a little interested in seeing. Mostly because Beth Phoenix is going to destroy Kelly Kelly. I know that it's Randy Orton vs Christian in a no holds barred match.. I always hated that name.. No Holds Barred.. it doesn't apply these days. Just call it a No DQ match, or a street fight. And Sheamus vs Mark Henry. That's all we have so far for the 2nd biggest pay per view of the year? ... I mean yes, everything is kind of revolving around Punk/Cena (and now HHH), but if this pay per view is second only to Wrestlemania, then there should be a better card, now what... only 5 days from the pay per view? Imagine if Wrestlemania was booked this way.. terrible.

But now onto RAW and what stood out for me. I'll get to the obvious in a little bit, but to begin, I am sick of Michael Cole. Why did JR come back if he's not going to be the lead play-by-play guy? Doesn't make sense to me. JR isn't a 3rd man kinda guy. Not anymore. I was watching Survivor Series 1995 last night, even then when he WAS the 3rd guy on the commentary team he still stood out, and i'm talking 16 years ago.

I get the feeling the angle shot with Miz and Mysterio was just in case Rey's knee is injured again, I read that he got hurt at a house show. So hopefully Rey isn't hurt too badly, and we can at least get some kind of match at Summerslam. Having said that, Miz hasn't been champion for about 3 or 4 months now, he lost the title at Extreme Rules if i'm correct, and he's not in the title picture now.. He's still calling himself the most "must see WWE champion" though.. I get what he means, but i think it would make more sense now to say something like "most must-see WWE superstar". But his promo was solid, really good I thought, he's one of those guys who just "has it".. and from what I understand he's had to go through some hard times to get there, so he definitely has my respect.

Am I the only one that doesn't think John Morrison lives up to his hype? he keeps botching movies.. people talk about Sin Cara botching moves.. look at Morrison though. I don't actually remember him hitting his finishing move cleanly, ever. It's always off target and he only hits with his arm or something. I remember not too long ago people were calling him "the next shawn michaels"... not a chance in hell. Seriously, Shawn Michaels, compared to John Morrison? there is no comparison. Morrison is good in the ring, and that parkour stuff is awesome to watch. But he's terrible on the mic. And without that getting better, he's not going to be able to connect in the same way that Michaels, Austin, Rock, CM Punk have.

HHH made himself the special referee for the Summerslam main event. I love this move. As soon as he started talking about it, you could see there was just a hint of what could happen if he turns Heel. He started talking about "how do you ensure one undisputed champion? You put someone in there who can control everything" (i'm paraphrasing.) He talked about change, how it's been a theme lately. He's right, and as far as I can tell, things are going to keep changing. Has anyone else noticed they're using "Anything can happen" again.. just like back in 1995/96. Just a nice little coincidence.

Now when he started talking about who the guy he picked was.. that was the start of the Heel turn. As he started reeling off the "larger than life" stuff, for about 5 seconds four or five names ran through my head. Who's he talking about? First I thought himself (always go with your first instincts is the lesson). Then as he said that man "towers over not only John Cena, but CM Punk" I started thinking Big Show? no.. Undertaker? Why would he come and referee..  then i thought Diesel/Kevin Nash... he's under contract with WWE, he's larger than life and towers over everyo.. oh what HHH said it was himself. Damn. Seriously though, I would've bought Kevin Nash being the Ref. He's buddies with HHH, he's talked about (and to) Punk on twitter.. it could have worked.

But I think HHH being the referee makes sense if the plan is to make him a bad guy.

And then we are told that there's going to be a contract signing. That peaked my interest, because it meant that CM Punk and Cena would be on the mic.

One thing i really liked was the little exchange between Cena and Triple H during Cena's entrance. Everything about this angle is really well done, and feels different. They played it perfectly. Cena trying to keep his words hidden from the camera's microphone, but not really at the same time.. and questioning HHH's motives. Really well done.

I'll be honest, I kind of skipped through most of the matches this week. For a few reasons. One, because i was watching at about 3am. 2, and this is more specific. I do not like Jack Swagger. He looks like Biff from Back To The Future. And that running around the ring gimmick, is kinda awful. Cena wins, nuff said.

R-Truth has become a joke. Sucks, coz Truth is awesome. Spider Soup? really?

Oh and another thing. Kofi Kingston is great, but pastel colours make him look weak. He is not weak.

Alberto Del Rio is awesome. But he needs a finisher that isn't a submission. It limits what stories can be told in a match if he always has to "work on a body part". He used a backstabber in his match on RAW with Punk this week.. Make that his second finisher or something. Give him a bit more freedom.

Ok onto the contract signing.

Oh wait, Divas. The gap in talent between the few that can actually wrestle well and the ones that can't is huge. Beth Phoenix, Natalya, ...who else is there?.. Oh right they fired one other one with talent, and the other quit. Beth Phoenix spoke the truth after decimating Eve this week. It should be about WRESTLING! Not perving.

Kelly Kelly looks unsure about everything she does. If change is really in the air, we will see a new Women's champion at Summerslam.


Dolph Ziggler will be in the title picture for real soon. He's one of the best things going today.

Ok onto the contract signing for real this time.

I love that Punk is given the freedom to say things that seem "contreversial" Talking about how what the contract signing segment is really used for was great.
Using the Rock's facebook video was interesting, but I'm guessing it was just used to keep the rivalry going between Rock and Cena. One a side note, Rock is boring. Yup i said it. I'm not a massive Cena fan, but Rock is coming across like a bully to me. Taking shots at Cena because of how he looks/dresses/what music he likes. And Rock? I'm a man, and you DON'T represent me.
But this isn't about the Rock, that's for another blog.
I LOVE Cena's promo on the haters. "maybe i could increase my workrate, maybe i could add to the 5 moves of doom, maybe i could let my heel persona shine through".. Ha! Brilliant. All signs of change. Cena said Punk (and the voiceless) think maybe he's a "product of the system". I think that's true. He's been marketed to kids. He did change.
He said maybe he's a little "too pg for ya". It's not him, it's the product as a whole. Cena being the face of said product, he gets the brunt of the criticism. Now I may not be a huge Cena fan, but i've said it before, I respect him for sticking to his guns, for not pandering to the people who hate him. Sure he's a product of the system, but he's not changing who he is to fit in with what other people want. And really, isn't that what CM Punk is doing too? Just in a different way?
But back to Punk.
It looked like to me after HHH called him gutless and Cena called him a phony, Punk actually got legitimately mad.
Maybe that's why he dropped the names of the released wrestlers. Laurinitis sure didn't look happy when Kozlov, Smith and Masters were mentioned. But then, maybe it's all part of the story and really, isn't that the mark of a good promo or angle? When we, the so called smart wrestling fans question wether something is real or not?

Only problem is dropping names has lost a little of it's effect since the first time he did it.

Punk was at his best as usual though, telling Cena he gave up on his dreams etc. It's all great stuff, it's all the signs of change happening.
Cena having the last word was great. He delivered that last little part so well. "You will be a loudmouth, one hit wonder". Punk calling Cena a phony seemed to get under his skin a little too.

The last thing i want to talk about is the ending of the show. It was, without a doubt, the best part of the entire show.

It was so well done, all the little things that came together to set up this match.
I'm talking about after the predictable table thrown aside spot.
Punk and Cena get in each other's faces, and Laurinitis breaks them up, firstly pushing Punk back, and then turning around to Cena to push him back. Now this is where it gets brilliant.
Punk goes to kick Cena in the head, but hits Laurinitis and MISSES Cena. Laurinitis goes down (which I'm always happy to see), and the HHH gets in front of Punk. Now Cena, in retaliation, goes to Punch CM Punk in the face, kind of hits HHH but actually CONNECTS with Punk.
That's important. That Punk missed, but Cena hit. Because what happened is Punk didn't see HHH and Cena argue and shove each other because he was knocked down and rolling out of the ring. So as far as Punk sees, he gets hit in the face with HHH holding him back, and then the next thing he sees, is HHH and Cena standing next to each other in the ring.

I can't stress enough how awesome that was. It sets up the match perfectly. Cena won't back down from HHH or Punk, Punk now thinks, as he said .. that "the fix is in" and Cena and HHH are working together, and everything will go back to the soul crushing status quo. Triple H is, at least appearing to be trying to maintain order, and send the impression that that's what he's going to do as the referee. But, let me take you back to the opening segment. He never said "I'm going to call it right down the middle." He said "I will call it, as I see it". And we all know, if the ref doesn't see it, it never really happened. Little touches like that are what the WWE has been missing, the little things that push the storylines over the edge and make them great, instead of good.

Absolutely brilliant ending. If you can, really go back and watch it to see what i'm talking about. CM Punk as the underdog, the guy that doesn't fit what society (or in this case, the WWE) says is "the norm", which I relate to. This match has a lot to live up to, but adding the special Ref element will give it a different flavour.

Let's just hope that the rest of the card will be as entertaining at the last 45 minutes or so are sure to be.

That's it. I hope you enjoyed reading this, leave me a comment, follow me on twitter at @TheACMouthpiece and remember, you only get truthfacts from the couch. and Cena is the beets of pro-wrestling. #CenaIsBeets

Goons, Punks, and Attitudes.

Welcome to another installment of truthfacts from the lazy-boy himself, the Armchair Mouthpiece. And it seems we're at that point in the week again where I give you my thoughts on RAW, and what I think could happen.

Let me start off by saying, that unless it's amazingly clear that there's been a huge mistake made, you're never going to see me write something like "They did it wrong, this is how it should have been done" or "My way is better" or anything like that. I'm not going to sit here and pretend to be better than anyone. I'm not going to sit here and claim to have some knowledge of "the business" that i don't have. All i'm doing is giving my opinion on what happened, what may happen, and what i'd like to see happen.

Ok so onto the show!

There was an intro video package, I never like them, they seem to leave out tiny little details that could make them better. The biggest example that i can think of that is way back (waaaayyyy back) in 1993/94 with Bret and Owen, when Owen "turned on Bret". Owen, at the 94 royal rumble was in a tag match with Bret, and it ended with them losing and Owen blaming Bret, claiming that Bret was being selfish, staying in the ring when he was injured and try to get the pin/submission instead of tagging in Owen. The funny thing is, that's exactly what happened. Bret started to move over to tag Owen, but then changed his mind and went to put the sharpshooter on their opponents. 
So Owen had a legitimate side to his argument, but in the video packages for Wrestlemania and Summerslam that year, that part wasn't shown. All that was shown is Bret hurt, them losing, and then Owen attacking him. Now, to me, giving the heel a slightly more legitimate argument would have made it even better than it was (and that feud was amazing!)

Anyway, video package aside, I think it was assured that this RAW's opening segment would be either Triple H, or CM Punk with the other interrupting. I was thinking it would be Triple H out first, but I was suprised (pleasantly). I'm loving everything CM Punk is doing these days, so anytime he's on the mic for me it's great TV.

Then i got a little worried.

Punk started telling us why he came back. He told us all about how he had to make this life-changing decision (and if you've heard his interview with Bill Simmons on ESPN you know that's real). Talking about taking credit for the changes that have been happening. All that was great.

Then he said "some of that credit goes to you, the audience".

That took a little bit of steam out of it for me. I know he wasn't pandering, Punk just doesn't seem like the "I did it for you" kinda guy. He's an Anti-hero. And, just personally, i preferred the version he used on the bill simmons show.. "I'm gonna make this sh*t cool again" as opposed to "i'm going to make this fun again".

So I got worried. Was this going to be the end of the controversial CM Punk? Was he, now that he'd resigned, been told to ease up on what he'd been saying?

Then we got to the real point of it all. "The voice of the voiceless needs to be heard". And I got a little less worried. He certainely wasn't pandering, reverting, doing any of that. Punk is back because Punk wants to be heard. The only reason it sounded a little weaker than some of his other promos was because the crowd didn't give that "OOOOOOHHHHH" chant, just a nice applause because they were mentioned.

So it goes on, it's interesting, we get some strong CM Punk chants, and then Booom...... "It's time.. to play the game".

And i get worried again.

Now i'd read last week, or heard last week, that one of the original ideas floating around for CM Punk's return last week was to have HHH pedigree him. Would've been a fairly terrible idea I would imagine.

So this being the first time we'd seen HHH and CM Punk in the same ring (with HHH being in charge i mean), i got a little worried. Because HHH pedigree-ing CM Punk out of nowhere would kill the momentum he had, and it really would be, as CM Punk said, a return to the "soul-crushing status quo".

But, of course, that didn't happen.

Wow. That was my first reaction to this little segment. But, i have a couple of problems with it. One, I don't really buy HHH not liking CM Punk. I mean i can understand it, he's doing what's right for business, and CM Punk walking out with the title isn't good business, but this is HHH, one half of D-Generation X... i mean, they were going against the grain 14 years ago. I guess i prefer my Triple H with some more attitude. Attitude is a big word at the moment I think. We seem to be getting the slightly comedic corporate Trips though. Two, and this isn't really a problem, more an idea I had that I think would work for Punk. He talked about commodities, how he's a commodity and HHH couldn't afford to let him go anywhere else.

So it seems like one of the things Punk dislikes is that it's all about the money, or at least appears to be. CM Punk also seems like the kind of guy who doesn't really like mainstream music.. hell, he's not really mainstream anything. So he could talk about how it's not just him, i mean, there are great bands out there not getting any attention because they're not "the norm", they're not like everybody else.. something like that, just to bring a wider audience in. It could work, the whole Anti-hero thing, pushing for change. It could (if done right) give this angle, and the WWE a wider range of media outlets getting interested in them.. I'm not sure it's a road they would want to go down though. Being that they're using i think... C-Lo (is that his name?)'s song for Summerslam. I guess i just felt it would work, being a musician who's struggled with that, as i don't play "pop" music.

Back to the show. Wow i'm still on the first segment. Must mean it was either really good, or really long. Ha, i just checked. it's both. 24 minutes or something before the first wrestling match I believe.

So we still don't know what kind of boss HHH is going to be. I think Summerslam is when we're going to find out. As in, is he the good guy boss, or the heel boss? I'm hoping for heel, HHH is amazing as a heel.
I don't like the "without the WWE, you really mean nothing" .. that's a huge knock to TNA (deserved) and ROH (not deserved). That's part of that old Vince mentality that i do not like.
But let's talk about what i do like. I do like Punk telling HHH not to leave the ring. This part got me excited. I'd forgotten about the possible pedigree. Punk taking shots at HHH is a big move. It all needed to be said to keep up the whole "Punk won't play by the rules" part.

And then he let his Pipebomb off. (Pretty sure that's going to become a thing). "How many times have you said "ahhh I just don't think he has what it takes", when you're lying in bed with your wife?" WOW!

What the hell is with the Skinny Fat ass remark? Did i miss something? Can skinny people now be fat people too? Does it work the other way? can fat people be skinny? What am i missing here? weird.

So we had Triple H laying down the law. And then we get what i thought was the 2nd best part of the night. CM Punk not backing down, messing with HHH's suit and tie.. and then delivering .. "are you going to punch me in the face.... or do you have to go ask your wife's permission first?" Brilliant.

Stuff like that just helps show that it's a new day, there's a bit more attitude. I mean think about it from a backstage point of view, or a "real" point of view. So awesome. I'm excited.


Ok so on to the rest of the show.. Divas battle royal.. nuff said.

Except, Beth Phoenix works so much better as a heel. So whoever made that decision, well done. That, and only that, makes the championship match at summerslam interesting. Beth for champ.


Ok what else happened.. umm... Oh yeah that's right R-Truth.. He's doing awesome work right now. Not as good as last week, but still, he's great.

Ok i'll be honest, I didn't watch much of the matches this week. Not that they're bad, just that it's that same old status quo that Punk is talking about.
John Morrison is overrated though. He's not consistent. And consistency is what makes high flyers amazing. like Rey Mysterio. like Evan Bourne. Like most of the x-division in TNA.

Also i didn't watch a lot of the matches because i seriously can't stand listening to michael cole. especially the parts where JR and King are trying to call the match, and Cole just starts running down the babyfaces in the match. Boring, old, really bad, and really hard to sit and listen to/watch. Someone needs to reign him in.

Seriously, what was the point of that Alex Riley guy coming out and trying to get Dolph Ziggler to "drop Vickie".. is that the best way they could think of to start a potential Riley/Ziggler feud? C'mon.. what about.. oh let's see.. "Hey Dolph, your hair looks like crap"... or "Hey Dolph, you couldn't beat me if you tried".. and that's just off the top of my head (note... sarcasm). Dolph is great, but this promo sucked. Follow that means no-one will have his skills? what?


Hey Zack Ryder was on tv 2 weeks in a row.. if that's not a sign of change, nothing is!

Did Santino have a Mr.Cobra-o? I sense gimmick infringement.

Alberto Del Rio is a bit of a strange one for me at the moment. He won the Royal Rumble, but didn't win the Title.. (most likely because of it being Edge's last match i would have to think).. now he has the briefcase, and the first time he tries to cash it in he gets kicked in the head. (Which was awesome). He's great in the ring, but it seems like they're not sure if he is ready yet or something. News flash ... he's ready! Summerslam beckons .....

Ok now onto the closing segment. And once again, something that I (and i'm sure a lot of people) didn't expect, happened. Also, something i was pretty sure was going to happen, happened. It was the only logical choice. But before i get to that, Johnny Ace?? Is this the start of the power struggle between the old regime and the new?  We got to see a little of it with HHH clearly being annoyed about Laurinitis being out there. This storyline has the potential to be huge, especially with Laurinitis trying to get over as a heel by saying he replaced JR and trying to throw his weight around.

So now we get to my favourite part of the night. John Cena. Yep, i said it.

He's got a little of that word back.. that.. attitude. That 2003-04 era John Cena attitude that got him over in the first place. Imitating Laurinitis.. and of course the "punched you in the face" schtick. Brilliant. best part of the whole show. There's a little boston accent coming out in Cena's voice lately.. I kinda get the feeling this is all leading to the Rock/Cena thing, Cena is going to get his attitude back, and make that match amazing. Rock is going to do the same thing he did 10 years ago, and get cheered for it. But then, he's not gonna be there the next night. Cena will.


Ok so onto the end of the night. We have the Champ vs. Champ match at Summerslam. Then we had the little ego pose off thing... right way to end the night, especially with HHH getting a little pissed off and laying down the law.


So where could it be headed? Well apart from the obvious, hopefully CM Punk doesn't have to find any more urinals to throw up in, meaning.. hopefully we don't go backwards from here. Punk (i feel) should win at Summerslam if you want the momentum to continue. Or at least, if he doesn't win, it can't be a clean victory over him. Someone... HHH, Rey (he never got his rematch), Laurinitis, Vince.. a returning ___________ , someone! Remember, they now have to live up to the match they had at MiTB... so it's gotta be stepped up somewhere. I was thinking it might be some kind of gimmick match, a cage was the only thing that popped into my head.. they just had the ladder match ppv... last man standing wouldn't fit, i quit doesn't fit (yet), but who knows. I would love to see another one on one match between Cena and Punk. Maybe Colt Cabana will show up... could be fun.


Ok so in closing, I think this week's Raw did nothing but strengthen the whole "we've changed" bit. The matches i watched were good, not awesome.. Morrison botched a corkscrew dive over the ropes... Del Rio/Bourne was good. But clearly they're focused on Punk/Cena/HHH.. and rightfully so.

So what do you all think? Let me know please... I need criticism. At least RAW isn't the same old crap anymore though right? Gotta be a good thing, I know i'm excited about next week again. that makes it what.. 4 or 5 weeks in a row? That hasn't happened since i got Cable tv!

Also, on a different note, i need a new way to end these things..

Thats it for now.


What's it like to be me? You, will never, ever know.
#CenaIsBeets

Let me tell ya something...

It's me again, the armchair mouthpiece, back to sling you some more written truthfacts from the couch of creativeness.

Ok so I did say my next post would not be about the whole CM Punk/Cena/McMahon situation, and I meant it. So what I thought i'd do is give you a little history lesson, namely how I became a fan, and why I feel like I can actually write this blog, and not come off like some huckster, who doesn't know what he's talking about.

I also thought I might start doing some random top 10 lists, a few ideas I have include the obvious top 10 wrestlers and top 10 matches.. but I thought some things like top 10 sick bumps, top 10 fails, maybe top 10 one liners could be interesting as well. So if anyone wants to comment on wether or not that would be good, or not, please feel free.

So, as far as my history goes, I mentioned this in my first post, so forgive me for repeating myself. I started watching wrestling right around 1997-98. I can't remember exactly when, could have been slightly earlier in fact. One of the first matches I can remember seeing involved Sting, but it was before the "Crow" transformation, he still had his blonde hair and coloured face-paint, however it could have been a highlight package or something. I used to visit my father every couple of months or so, and at the time he had Optus Cable TV, which carried TNT, and therefore WCW Monday Nitro. So originally, as a teenager, I was a WCW guy. I saw a little WWF stuff late at night on tv, I even remember thinking "this is stupid, why is he bleeding?"... Oh to be young again..

Anyway the first main story I remember, as many who watched WCW around that time was the NWO, and in turn the NWO wolfpack. I became a big fan of Kevin Nash, Sting, Juventud Guerrera, Raven, and I remember the commentary of Mike Tenay and Bobby Heenan especially. I remember watching Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Rey Mysterio, Alex Wright, Glacier(!), Ric Flair.. Also i remember disliking Eric Bischoff right from the get go. Not much has changed in 13 years. But, I was still under the impression this was all completely "real", and was just a fan of the matches, i suppose not really a "smark" or whatever we're supposed to be called.

I got a bit older, my father moved to a different place and didn't have cable, so from 1999 or so onwards, no more wrestling for me. That is until 2003. I don't remember exactly why I did this, but I was in a local video rental store, and they had a bunch of WWE and WWF videos. not dvds, videos. The first ones I hired were Wrestlemania XII, and Judgement Day 2003. So it must have been around July/August 2003. I watched Wrestlemania XII, and immediately I was hooked again. Undertaker vs. Diesel, Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart, even Ultimate Warrior vs HHH (clearly i still wasn't that knowledgable)... Instantly I was a Shawn Michaels fan. I liked Undertaker, but didn't know a lot about him. That would change very quickly.

Then I popped in Judgement Day 2003, I can remember watching that video so vividly.. The banter between Austin and Bischoff (who i recognised of course) was amazing. I think what drew me to hiring that particular video was the 2 main event matches, HHH vs Kevin Nash, and Big Show (or, as i knew him.. The Giant) vs Brock Lesnar in a stretcher match. Nash powerbombing HHH through the announcer's table is still one of my favourite memories.

So that was where my current love of wrestling began. I hired just about every single video they had there, they had some pay per views from 1998, Unforgiven i think was one, with the Inferno Match between Undertaker and Kane.. seeing that side of Undertaker was what got me really interested in him, and it was around the same time that he'd been buried alive at the survivor series of 2003, and there were all those signs of his return as the Deadman.

So that was 2003/2004. I started buying dvds, reading histories, learning as much as I could about everything to do with wrestling, the backstage stuff (as much as you can really), watching Shawn Michaels interviews helped, all the interviews I've seen him give on dvd's and such, he speaks truthfully, talking about "we talked about what we could do with the cell".. basically no kayfabe with him.

I got cable tv in 2005, in october.. about a month before Eddie died. I feel really lucky that I got it when I did, because I was able to see Eddie's last televised match.. and the tribute RAW.

So since then, i've wathced a lot of ECW, and then a couple of years ago when Foxtel started broadcasting Impact, started watching TNA. And that in turn led to buying a whole bunch of TNA dvds from overseas, namely the older ones not available here in australia. Watching AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Low Ki, Sabin, Shelley, Petey Williams.. That was a whole extra level of amazing ability that i'd not seen before. And it was something different, and especially in the early days, i think something better than "the norm".

And that's about it as far as watching history.. as far as why I feel like I have valid opinions, why my opinions should be read by others.. well, whenever i get passionate about something, I learn as much about it as I can.. a "student of the game" without being in the game, if you will. A few years ago i bought the Anthologies that the WWE released, the wrestlmanias, the summerslams, the Royal Rumbles (my favourite event by the way).. and watching all of those, which I have done.. in order even, has really helped me see the change in style from the mid 80s to today, from the new generation, the attitude era.. and things like being able to see legends like Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker arrive, and mature and mould and shape their characters, and constantly change.. it's all education. I'm not saying i'm an expert, I like to think I know a bit about what makes a match good, who's good, who's overrated.. and most importantly, I have an opinion that is my own, I don't just jump on someone else's bandwagon.. like the "cena sucks" bandwagon, Cena does not suck. You watch his early matches, before he became the Rapper. Watch his work from MITB (i know, i'm talking about it again).. Watch Wrestlemania 22 and 23.

So that's about it. Nothing much else to say, i kinda like this catchphrase I used last time, I think i'll stick with it, as it's kind of appropriate for my life. I hope this wasn't too boring or anything.. in the meantime, I can't wait for RAW tomorrow. Expect postings.

What's it like to be me? You will never, ever know!
