WWE on YouTube – Elimination Chamber Weekend

Foreign Exchange with Santino Marella: “Storm Shelter”

I was hoping for a timely video featuring Santino excitedly talking about his appearance in a WWE title opportunity tonight at Elimination Chamber. Not so much. Though Daniel Bryan did appear to start a natural rivalry in his brief interview. Them’s fightin words!

Side note: I really like the premise of this one. Santino’s great on the camera. Storm shelter!

Are You Serious with Road Dogg and Josh Mathews – Episode Three

After last week’s strong showing of Vader and Sting Go To White Castle, they’ve set the bar high (even if we had to go elsewhere to find the rest of the clip). Decent follow up with Beach Blast – I really won’t recommend surfing YouTube to find the full clip – their fast forward viewing of it actually suffices in this instance.

That all said, I’m anxiously awaiting a new episode of Superstar Toyz.

WWWYKI: One Year Later

schlizzag — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:28:41 +0000

I remember when I first saw Zack Ryder’s current persona on TV. I was in Vegas with some friends, and we randomly put WWE Superstars on when it was still airing on WGN. He immediately earned my support and even my non-wrestling fans were sold. The fist pumping and the “Woo Woo Woo” catch phrase won us over. Some time passed and he eventually grew frustrated, turning to YouTube as a creative outlet. Since then he’s been US Champion and has recently played a prominent role in John Cena’s storyline. What a ride, and we hope it keeps going in 2012 and beyond!

WWE on YouTube, Week Three

schlizzag — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 23:33:26 +0000

WWE Download with Dolph Ziggler – Episode 3

Needs Tom McNamara.

Are You Serious – Episode 2

Road Dogg and Josh Mathews are back for more punishment, “locked in the basement of Titan Towers”. Picking on Hulk Hogan? That’s low hanging fruit, guys. I wish they’d focus on a few embarrassing moments and go into detail on the back story and what went wrong. They’re going to have to if they end up making it into a WWE Network show pilot. As an aside, check out this link for the full “White Castle of Fear” clip: http://youtu.be/RRsgDudT7D4

WWE Inbox – Episode 3

Who’s Maxine? And who’s Derrick Bateman? Maybe I should watch NXT. Or not. And when asked who the funniest Superstar is, Santino gets some backstage love, as would be expected. Speaking of Santino..

Foreign Exchange with Santino Marella, Episode 2

Santino gets with the ladies. As usual. And I dare you not to laugh. He’s so charming.

WWE on YouTube: Dolph’s Back for More

schlizzag — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:49:20 +0000

I have to admit, Dolph is playing it a bit too tame. He’s gotta be more of a #HEEL… Could this be a sign of his impending face turn? I, for one, hope not.

WWE on YouTube: RAW Fallout and ADR Buys Cars

schlizzag — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:31:50 +0000

WWE Raw Backstage Fallout

This one is pretty well done, though I’d prefer to hear the interviewer a little bit more clearly. Daniel Bryan, David Otunga, and Tamina. Tamina could use some mic work, for sure.

Superstar Toyz

Have you been missing Alberto Del Rio? So have we. What a stand up guy.

WWE on YouTube: Week One, Continued…

schlizzag — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:16:19 +0000

They uploaded a few new shows as the week went on. Here’s the rest:

1 – Z! True Long Island Story

The show that made Zack Ryder a star and caught the eye of WWE execs, bringing them to YouTube in the first place. If you’re not familiar, or just want to relive the past – this is one for you – a clip show! Next year is the 1 year anniversary of the show. Hopefully Zack’s broken back has been repaired. #TakeCareRelaxYourBack

2 – Backstage Fallout

It’s like promo practice party time! To be honest, though, a lot of filler rewatching matches you’ve already seen and not getting anything new. Yet.

3 – Are You Serious?

Road Dogg and Josh Mathews do what we all do when we’re drunk and have nothing else to do but surf YouTube… A trip down ridiculous memory lane… Digging this one, for sure!

Tommy Dreamer Kicks Ass

schlizzag — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:51:11 +0000

Disclaimer: I can’t stand this kind of screaming in songs – it’s just not my thing, but the video is fun because hey – it’s Tommy Dreamer!
