METAL ON METAL

A chippy near mine, the locally famous Katie Mac's, does the battered Mars Bar but they also do battered Kit-Kat's. Can't say I've ever been tempted to try though.

 

Battered burgers are heavenly though, always thought they were common place in every chippy countrywide. Is cheesy chips primarily a northern thing too?

It'll be strange watching a show on a Saturday. Given the time difference I'm guessing this will be morning/midday for us?

Yeah, it was pretty straight forward that she still viewed them as being children and her conscience wouldn't allow her to kill them.

Froch vs GGG is picking up steam, with Hearn teasing some announcement for this afternoon.

From how it read on Meltzer's site, Payback is a proper "ppv" style event, whereas Elimination Chamber has been reduced this year to being a Network exclusive show that will be taped after a Raw or SmackDown like King Of The Ring was a few weeks back.

 

Nope. It's still an actual full PPV event live on the Sunday, it's just 'exclusive' to the Network (which isn't saying much considering they barely have any real PPV buyers left).

Speaking of, what the fuck have the done with Taker? It's like they've photoshopped Wayne Rooney's forehead.

 

 

The next Jericho podcast is with Stephanie McMahon next Thursday.

So Justin Roberts has been trashing WWE, apparently he's been saying that the fans deserve better than the garbage they give them every Monday night. Also reckons the WWE is dying a slow death.

 

Funny how he said it was his dream job and he couldn't believe he got paid for it, he also sent endless tweets about how much he loved the company.

That was of course until he got fired. Sour grapes Justin?

He's a good friend of Punk, wouldn't be surprised if all the drama of the WWE lawsuit has contributed to his feelings somewhat.

Spoken like a carny Grandad who has discovered wikipedia for the first time.

Brock Lesnar is sitting with Dana White at UFC 184 in LA right now (wearing an interesting suit).

Indicative of him definitely being off or just a genius move to try and scare Vince into improving his offer?

 

 

What will get more people tuning in, Orton vs Rollins or Orton (w/ Jon Stewart) vs Rollins? Easy answer, and that is what counts for WWE as it is a business after all.

 

As said above, it's a world of difference to Snooki or Maria Menounos, he is one of the biggest names and most highly acclaimed people in the TV industry - Rollins (and Orton) will benefit from his association rather than any harm.

 

Plus, who even said it'll go to Mania? It's more than likely just a one time thing on Raw.

How come he's guest starring on Raw? Is it just shits and giggles, or is he promoting something, or are they paying him?

He's a big fan, has been front row with his kids at a couple of the Boston PPV's and Raw is at New Jersey - he lives locally.

 

It's probably a freebie, the guy makes near $30m-a-year.

Seth Rollins twitter/phone got hacked, posting a naked picture of NXT diva Zahara Schreiber.

 

His fiance didn't take kindly that he may be cheating, so posted naked pictures of Rollins in response. Drama.

I know Meltzer also writes about pro wrestling as well, but it's not all he writes about.

 

I wish it was.

 

For someone who has supposedly been covering MMA since the mid-90's, he is still pretty dreadful with it - always (probably subconsciously) keying pro-wrestling terms in to his articles.

Taz is starting his own podcast soon. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

It looks like Baron Corbin might be getting his spot now anyway, I actually enjoyed his quick demolition of CJ. Super finisher.

 

I'm glad they're doing something with him now, thought for a while that he has good potential and a convincing look.

 

 

It's a shame Shaul Guerrero left again (due to an eating disorder apparently), because the plan was to pair them up. Looked great together:

 

He is the one guy who especially shouldn't have something colourful, it's the opposite of his character. Colourful gets you Kofi Kingston.

Looks like WWE mag or the kids version. I wonder if that's an editorial oversight from an interview conducted pre-Mania, with the planned split before the face turn.

I always did find it a bit strange that they showed him coming out of his house on his DVD, that can't have helped with the stalkers.

 

 

Seemed like far more hassle than it was worth!

Virgil vs. Nailz at Summerslam '92 has to be one of the shittest matches ever on one of the WWE big four events.

The Raw after the Royal Rumble has finally been put on, but not the following Smackdown yet.

Also known as the twat option.

Sting posted this photo earlier in his tribute to Warrior:

 

I really enjoy Riley on those Raw pre-shows and the WrestleMania Today shows, could become a very good colour commentator down the line.
