It's also jarring that for the most part he is a face announcer on Raw then he was doing the heel announcer schtick on NXT. But no matter how you cut it, he just flat out sucks as an announcer. On Raw, sometimes Cole needs to be reminded that he hates Dragon. Like when Dragon attacked Miz during the Cena match, Cole really didn't get frothed up until the very end. He should have been losing his mind from the get go because the guy he hated was beating on his mancrush. Another reason why he sucks, consistency is an important thing in rasslin' |

I found Cole much more interesting as a heel. It's funny how the announcing so often seemed better on ECW and season 1 NXT than on the main shows, I'm assuming because Vince didn't give a shit and wasn't paying attention.
I think the biggest issue with the announcing these days is that Vince wants them to be as bland as possible. So they're not allowed to show any of the energy or make any of the exclamations that made JR so great in Raw's heyday. So you have boring guys saying boring things in boring monotone. |

In non-WWE news, they have a somewhat interesting angle going on in ROH with Tyler Black, the current champ. He is leaving for WWE in September so they are doing a mini "Summer of Punk" angle with him, where he is vowing to take the belt with him to Vince. He has a title match on 9/11 against Roderick Strong, so all signs point to Strong finally becoming champ. Or they could have Black retain then lose the title through other shenanigans.

And Ki won NXT....
Wanna discuss something even more out there, the next season of it is all women..including one that is 6'9. A 6'9 woman I didn't realize that was possible. |

And Kaval being paired with Laycool was the best part of the season. Not only didn't it bury him, Layla and Michelle loved him and acted like everything he did was the greatest thing ever. It really made no sense given their characters, but having these bitchy mean girls fawn all over him made him seem that much more important. |

The most interesting rumor going right now is that they're planning on unifying all the titles, with the World/WWE unification being the main event at Wrestlemania. Which would mean another HHH reign, or Taker getting the World Title and Cena ending his streak, or something. Hopefully they use it to elevate somebody instead. |

God the end of NXT was an abomination...from Joe Henning's pathetic promo to the brawl where Titus completely no sold MVP's Yakuza Kick in the corner and Alex Riley for some reason beating the hell out of Percy Watson only for them to then double team Kaval 30 secs. later like nothing happened.
Hilarious stuff. |

I haven't watched the E's programming in about a year and a half.
However, I recently finished Hitman. It's an absolute must read. I finished it in about three days in between grading and class prep. The first quarter of the book is a little slow, especially the first two chapters, but once he gets into his time as a regular for Stampede, and more specifically his early days in the 80's WWF, it greatly increases in quality. I know that he and Michaels have since reconciled, but it's interesting to see how he regarded him at first, how their relationship soured, and at least, according to Bret, how he was sought out to be the original leader of the Kliq. The stories about the lines to see Dr. Zahorian (if anyone has read Sex, Lies and Headlocks or Meltzer's report they will know the name) are really interesting, as are the images of Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart riding on a motorcycle while high on crack. Guys who get the biggest praise from Bret: Owen (obviously), Curt Hennig, Rick Rude, Andre, Roddy Piper, Anvil Guys who get savaged: Bad News Allen/Brown, Warrior, Dynamite (from a personal standpoint), and his brothers Bruce and Smith

I had completely forgotten about this, and find it muchly funny, and indicative of much of the issues I have with WWE now...
Can't have those flippy-do guys. Must be big! |

So, Danielson beats Miz in what was purportedly a very good match for the US title.
Hopefully that's not his one shining moment in wwe. I don't expect good things tonight. Speaking of tonight, they're doing a double show tonight, so next week's (the go-home show for the next PPV ) will be taped. PPVs two weeks apart, and they wonder why buy rates are down. |

Orton is getting the god push. That is very interesting. Looks like they are playing him off as a tweener to huge pops.
