Titty Master forever!

Man, we really don't have any faith in Christian (myself included); pretty much everybody has voted him as either first eliminated and/or shortest time in the chamber. It almost makes me want to change my prediction and have him go over in his (edit: eternal?) quest for "one more match".

Almost.

I'm currently watching Smackdown on Wrestlingup/Dailymotion and there's no commentary track to it. I don't know what sorcery they performed to achieve this, or if it's a common occurrence, but it's glorious being able to watch wrestling without Cole and JBL ruining it.

Dammit, I spoke too soon; the commentary track just kicked back in, and yep, they're not making it any better.

@oldirtybearon I'll second (or fourth) that sentiment. While I may spend more time lurking than contributing here, I appreciate that everyone's so friendly to one another and can unabashedly show their enthusiasm for wrestling. I don't have any real life friends who are into wrestling, so that second point is even more important to me.

That said, I will still continue to complain about a lack of a competitive diva's division, if not for my shitty personal political persuasions then at least for the prospect of seeing the divas murdering each other Cesaro-style (Aksana botch murdering Naomi doesn't count).

@jewunit I'm worried that her current characterisation on Raw may mean that she won't win the Women's title at NXT arRIVAL (I think that's how they're capitalising it). While she could pull a Big E and hold the NXT title but not have it mentioned on the main shows, my guess is that with NXT soon to be more accessible on the Network that they'll try and aim for more consistency across the brands, i.e. they'll highlight her goofiness rather than her actual ability (similar to Summer Rae).

You're right in that the focus for the two divisions is completely different, which sucks for the more traditional wrestlers on the main roster (AJ Lee, Alicia Fox, Kaitlyn (in retrospect), maybe Natalya and Tamina?). It seemed like we were going to get a serious challenge from Naomi, that is until Aksana dropped da bomb.com a knee right in her eye. Well at least we still have NXT, right? Though if Emma isn't getting the title next, my next in line prediction is Sasha Banks, who then may drop to Bayley eventually.

@papercut: Well friend, you can read about the Best and Worst of Raw (I assume you mean the With Leather version) right now! 'Cause Brandon probably has insomnia or something (though seriously, I know nothing about the dude or his personal life, so who am I to jump to weird conclusions?).

@hunkulese: You know I was thinking about that referee thing the other day. A quick search online shows that the ref (Scott Armstrong) is still around and showed up at the Battleground a couple of months later. So yeah, it did pretty much fizzle out. That probably comes as no surprise to most people who know that they're making things up as they go along, but I still like to give them a benefit of a doubt regarding their ability to tell a well-thought out story ("ha!" I hear you all say).

@kishinfoulux: I've had that happen before, which has led to what I considered the only acceptable solution: tacking on "real", "realest", "realestest" to my name each time. Also, those other instances will eventually timeout and be removed, but that ain't stopping me from being the realestestly real professording (esquire the third (and realest)).

I won't be able to watch NXT tonight, so you've all been spared my long spiel on the product (hurrah!). I don't have much to say about CM Punk, so instead I'll just say that it's cool having other people to talk to about (stupid) wrestling things with, and that you're all awesome for it. I would also make the suggestion to not get too angry about stuff, but I suppose that's what it means to be a fan sometimes.

@skyrider Does Regal put down A-Ry at the same time too? If so I might even forgo sleep to catch up on NXT.

@gorillamopena I actually wouldn't mind seeing Ryback pull off a Pepsi Plunge, but then again I like the big guy, so I might be a little biased.

I'm not around to join the chat or watch tonight's Raw live, but I just want to throw in another two cents (and everyone's two cents so far have been great so far mind you). I just wanted to say that for as terrible as it may have been that Batista won (though I got me my LoC points), I don't think Roman Reigns should have won (I won't throw in on who should have; there's been plenty of that already).

Now I say that because I don't think he's ready; as good as he looks and as good as he is in the ring, he's still only been there for a little over a year. Heck I hardly know how he is on the mic short of him saying a sentence or two after Ambrose and Rollins. Give him the IC belt (or the US one for that matter), but I don't think he should headline Wrestlemania this early in his career.

That all said, I've only just recently gotten back into wrestling so I could be wrong (and I'd love to hear dissenting opinions), but that's my feeling at the moment. Otherwise have fun y'all and let's keep on keeping.
