Podcast Episode 139: John Cena, Still Number One Contender

Maybe the most exciting part of Raw this week.

Maybe the most exciting part of Raw this week.

Raw kicked off with six men in a ring, all with claims to be number one contender. Six men who actually seemed to WANT a shot at Lesnar. How ludicrous is that? But let’s ignore that plot hole (and several others)… What’s the best way to settle things? Book a six man tag to determine who is truly worthy. Makes sense. No wait, it doesn’t. Not in the slightest. What is this? What are we watching? Why are we watching it?

Talk about a holding pattern, folks… It can’t get worse next week, right? We’ll be watching one way or another, like the suckers we are…

Podcast Episode 138: Cena Angry, Cena Smash

John Cena overcomes the odds, yet again! At least the kids still love him..

John Cena overcomes the odds, yet again! At least the kids still love him..

Remember how Brock Lesnar DESTROYED John Cena a little over a week ago? Yeah, never mind that. He’s fine, you guys. And he’s angry. That’s gotta be enough to make up the difference and let him be successful at Night of Champions, right? He just wasn’t angry enough before, and he didn’t want it badly enough. Yep.

In other news, it’s time for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla’s Battle of Los Angeles! Thankfully, we didn’t die in the womb, so we’ll get to watch some awesome wrestling. Join us as we preview this weekend’s three night event!

Podcast Episode 130: Jericho Returns, AJ Lee Wins Gold

You can't see me. My time is now.

You can’t see me. My time is now.

Are the Monday Night Wars back on? That’s sure what this week’s installment of Raw felt like! Multiple returns, crazy swerves, fun action, and even a title change! It’s going to be a challenge to narrow down the top highlights – from Chris Jericho to Jack Swagger to AJ Lee to Seth Rollins… and more! Crazy. Crazy crazy.

I need a cigarette.

I Know You Like My Swagger..

Jack Swagger, new ECW Champion, (c) WWE.com
Sure, it’s “just” the ECW Championship, but what did I say about Jack Swagger?

The kid’s got talent; Vince loves him because he’s big and athletic. His mic skills are likely to just get better – he seems to have that charisma that is needed to get to the top. Right now, he’s got the silver belt – look to see him wearing gold in due time..

Victoria, (c) WWE.com
Also, I just noticed that WWE.com is promoting Victoria’s matchup tonight as her retirement match.

I haven’t done my research, and therefore I do hope this is kayfabe. It could be one of those storyline elements that leads her to a title match down the line – the title she has been deserving for quite some time now.

If you can’t tell, my vote for most underrated/underutilized female talent: Victoria, by a longshot.

Update (1/19/09): According to Lisa Marie Varon’s latest MySpace blog entry, she is indeed retiring… from WWE. It sounds like she had grown tired with being so underutilized, and has decided to move on with her life. Be it a jump to TNA or a true pursuit of her other passions in life, I wish her the best!
