A look at Raw

I have taken a ton of shots at WWE creative on this blog.
Having said that, for the first time in over 2 years (since The Evolution Era), I believe Raw is getting in a groove creatively.
They actually have a lot of interesting angles right now that are either in progress or are simmering.
Such as:  Edge/Cena/RVD for [...]

Episode for Thursday, June 29th:
11/28/2000 - Wrestling Observer Live
Guest: Vampiro
This recently unearthed episode is without a doubt one of the wildest WOL’s of all time. Although Vampiro might not be as sexually suggestive with Dave as Missy Hyatt and Tammy Sytch were, and although he might not be as bitter and confrontational as Ole Anderson [...]

ECW on Sci-Fi: Week #3

My brother was drunk last night and insisted that we turn all the lights off in the apartment, close the windows, and watch ECW in the same dim, cavernous way that the WWE now shoots it for television. I can’t really say if it added to the effect or not, but it did result in [...]

Episode for Wednesday, June 28th:
4/01/2001 - Wrestling Observer Live
Wrestlemania X-7 Special
For the first –and to the best of my knowledge only– time in Wrestling Observer Live history, Eyada went live at approximately midnight EST for a special post-Wrestlemania show. Dave and Bryan recap the show, take calls, and discuss what Dave Meltzer calls “one of [...]

RAW

I’m going to try to sneak in a RAW thread while this damn thing is actually loading. I’m really sorry for the constant inconveniences, but trust me, as aggravating as it must be to not have the site functioning properly on your end, it’s even more frustrating to drive half an hour home to put [...]

Vengeance REVIEWED

The Anderson Breakdown -
WWE Vengeance
As much as I enjoy the WWE’s new philosophy of WWE - Where Everything 1997 is New Again~!, I just didn’t have it in me to catch Vengeance live at my local sports bar last night. You might not realize this, but between UFC, TNA, ECW, and the WWE, Vengeance marked [...]

Vengeance 2006

This is the place for all of your pre- and post show discussion.
My quick picks:
Umaga over Eugene, Flair over Foley 2 falls to 1, Shelton retaing the I-C title, Cena over Sabu, Kane over “Kane”, Orton winning by nefarious means over Angle, DX over the Spirit Squad, and Edge becoming new WWE champion defeating RVD [...]

Have Some Fun

Well, I’m really in the mood for some good conversation this evening, and while the majority of the big issues already have threads dedicated to them right now, I thought I’d start a thread and just let everyone chime in on anything they want pertaining to wrestling.

Ken,
Why do you even watch the PPV? I can’t feel any sympathy if you knew the outcome about a wrestling company in which the guy who wrestles in the company also happens to also OWN a share of it. So, stop crying and DON”T watch TNA. So stop with this nonsense about [...]

Episode for Friday, June 23rd:
5/03/2000 - Wrestling Observer Live
Guest: Justin Credible
Justin Credible, just days after winning the ECW World Title, stops in to talk ECW with Dave. Credible discusses his reaction upon being told that he was being given the belt, who he wants to work main event programs with, and why he absolutely hates [...]
