All the hate for the Red Goddess on the first page disgusts me.

Go worship your lizard queen you fucking nerds.

Don't worry, when Eva busts out her brazilian jiu jitsu training and shoot injures everyone else and wins the title by default, we'll have the last laugh

WWF Monday Night Raw 4/11/93

TO THE BACK. Money Inc gives the Beverly Brothers a pay off to get some tips on how to defeat the Steiners.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK Rob Bartlett is back. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. FUCK.

IRS vs Scott Steiner

For the first time in my life, I wish this was Rick in a singles match just to see him sell an IRS lariatooo like he did in the 80s. Macho points out the obvious that the Steiners are closer than Money Inc. because they are brothers. Enziguri from IRS. Sweaty bastard. Powerslam from Scott. IRS bails. Ted's white variant of his money suit is pretty sharp. IRS takes two shoulder blocks before countering with a drop toe hold. Scott immediately gets in control on the mat anyway. Steinerline. IRS gets out of a hold with an elbow to the eye. IRS tries a suplex. It was unsurprisingly reversed. He bails and comes back in the ring with a cheap shot. Scott is sent to the floor. Lariatooo from Ted. Rick comes to stand over his brother and Ted pulls his suit off because that sumbitch is ready for action. Terrible piledriver from IRS. Rest holds abound. Scott hits a stiff back elbow. He then uses IRS' tie to do the Macho clothesline on the top rope. Tiger Driver. Barely. It almost turned into a Tiger Driver 91. Ted jumps in the ring and causes a DQ. He gets put up for the Steiner Bulldog when the Beverly Brothers run down to stop it. The Bevs accidentally double clothesline Ted. This was no doubt supposed to be the best match on the show and it wasn't very interesting, so I can't wait for the rest of the show. Money Inc. and the Beverly Brothers get into a shoving match after the match.

Tatanka vs Von Krus

Fucking Vito. Was that Buckhouse Bunk in the front row? Doink comes out, spraying his water from an umbrella. Man, Vito looks like a bag of shit. All the jobbers do. It's lovely. Easy win for Tatanka.

TO THE WRESTLEMANIA UPDATE. Well, the encore update. Sean Mooney handles the details. There is a PPV encore TONIGHT on PPV, right after Raw. Jack Tunney made the announcement that Hulk Hogan is officially the WWF Champion and Yoko can stick it, brother.

Dope, the Steiners get the ICOPRO ad now.

i7Myo7UBit7nF.gif


TO THE BARTLETT. Rob gets an interview with Luna Vachon. I hope she beats his ass. She says a bunch of weird shit that Rob no sells and makes jokes about. Then it seems like he was making a fat joke about Sherri. Rob brings Sherri out. Sherri calls Luna a "half bred woman". Well, it appears that Luna is actually a time traveler from an alternate, dystopian future. For real. Sherri attacks Luna and then knocks Bartlett on his ass just because. Suplex on the floor. Luna gets her belt off and takes a few shots. Sherri's hangers are out and about. MAH GOODNESS. Clothes are being ripped off. This might be the first unofficial bra and panties match. Now they're fighting into the crowd.

After the break, Savage gets a word with Sherri, who is covering up with his hat. Luna returns and they continue the fight.

Papa Shango vs Scott Taylor

Poor Scotty gets his ass kicked. Rob Bartlett hobbles back with his shorts all ripped up. He passes out in front of the announce table. Shoulder breaker for the easy win.

Friar Ferguson vs Chris Duffy

Fuck, I can't even tell who is uglier in this match. Duffy looks like straight WHITE TRASH. Friar is a wrestling monk. Vince implies that God is managing Friar. Macho believes he meant Hulk Hogan. Beverlys vs Money Inc has been signed for next week. Friar dances and nearly shows his balls. This is awful. Friar wins with a teabagging.

iHrtGpYUIHWtU.gif


We're shown clips of Todd talking to random fans after WM9 including VLAD THE SUPERFAN! Dude got promo time on Raw!

TO THE BACK. Money Inc give their thoughts on the Beverly Brothers. They aren't scared. The Beverlys show up out of the dressing room and attack. They brawl to the the show. WE'RE OUTTA TIME! TUNE IN TO THUNDER!


Unsurprisingly another lame and bad show. The only thing to look forward to is that Bret will be returning to Raw next week.

Nice.

Again, not sure if this has been posted yet, but some interesting words from Heyman in an interview with This Is Infamous here.

Billy Donnelly – Knowing how well you know him, do you think we’ll see CM Punk inside a WWE ring anytime soon?
"You know, there were only three people in the room that night, and that was CM Punk, Vince McMahon and Triple H, and none of the three have talked about it. So whether CM Punk will ever or won’t ever appear in WWE again is truly only known by the three people that were in the room on that given evening. Anything else that is stated about it is merely speculation."

I can't wait to hear HBK talk about his moments while The Miz talks about Wrestlemania 27.

ROH's biggest card kind of says it all.

Lot of the same dudes they've had for years. If it's not the same dudes, it's some new guy who has zero gimmick. I mean, when your company is banking on fucking Adam Cole, Mike Bennett, a huge homophobe, and a guy who's trying to go to WWE, you're in some trouble.

If Adam Cole was going to have the 'it' factor, it would have happened two or three years ago. I think the people who tried to hype him as the next big indie wrestler are finally coming to the realization that he's highly mediocre. He's definition of average.

I can't be the only one who thinks PWG Cole is miles ahead of ROH Cole mostly because being with the YBs just makes him this amazingly douchy pretty boy. I don't get that feel in ROH at all. He seems generic as fuck in ROH and is just template heel there.

EVERYONE is better in PWG than ROH. That's how it's been for 7 or 8 years now.

WWF Monday Night Raw 4/18/93

TO THE BACK. Money Inc. bury the Beverlys by saying if the Mega Maniacs couldn't beat them, then they have no chance. Elsewhere, the Beverlys have their own promo. Both were done in profile for some reason.

Razor Ramon vs Virgil

JTG coming out to Virgil's theme is one of the greatest moments in WrassleGAF history. No doubt. At least in the top ten. Virgil tries to out wrestle the Bad Guy. He somewhat succeeds. Fall away slam is countered with a small package for a near fall. Virgil attempts a terrible school boy that would have actually taken Razor out of the ring if he properly applied it. No idea what he was thinking with that. Razor gets in control. So much swag from this dude. Maybe the most swag from any WWF guy ever. Razor's Edge for the win.

L.A. Gore vs Giant Gonzalez

Happy to see Gore again. He's got everything I like in a jobber. Bad gear, a curly mullet, gross mustache, and silly name. Giant quickly wins with a chokeslam.

TO THE BACK. Luna is apparently in a dungeon. She cuts a promo on Sherri.

Tatanka vs Art Thomas

Quick win for Tatanka. He continues his winning streak. Art kind of looks like Rene Dupree. Minus the priapism.

Money Inc. vs Beverly Brothers

This is a non-title match, but more importantly, a rare heel vs heel match. Starts out with a brawl. Ted and Blake start the match. BO tags in. And then out. Quick tags. I honestly would rather Bo Dallas be in this. Fuck the Beverly Brothers. Such fucking losers. I've never seen them do anything good. I've seen them in the WWF, AWA, and WCW. I've yet to see them have a good match. At best they'll have a "Decent, I guess" kind of match. They're just boring. And Ted in 1993 was definitely past his prime and ready to retire and I don't think IRS was ever really much of an interesting wrestler to begin with. Lots of quick tags from the Bevs, keeping Ted in their side of the ring. IRS gets a tag. Bevs are working as heels but really are the faces in this match. Unlike Martel vs HBK, this isn't interesting at all. Ted pins BO after BO accidentally clotheslined Blake. Would have made more sense to pin Black after that, but whatever.

TO THE McMAHON.
Vince conducts an in ring interview with Bret Hart. Well, fuck. I thought Bret was going to wrestle. Vince does go out of his way to say that Bret is the people's champion, at least. You know, I think Bret has always been an underrated promo guy. I think a lot of it stemmed from being a face giving normal guy promos after an era of Hogan/Warrior/Macho coked up insanity. I don't think he was bad at all, and I really enjoyed his promo work in WCW much more than his ring work. He says he's not done. He's lost the IC Championship and tag team titles twice. He's not a beaten man. The first guy on his hit list is Lex Luger. Lex attacked Bret at the press conference before WM. Jack Tunney is looking into an investigation on Leg's elbow/forearm. It might be more than bone. Bret isn't a body builder, he's a WRESTLER and he's going to show Lex what's up. He even says he's coming for Yoko and Hogan. The original plan was for Hogan to drop the title to Bret at Summerslam. Hogan decided Bret was too small and he didn't want to drop it to a face anyway, so they decided to have Hulk drop the title to Yoko at KOTR with the wacky finish. And the only time Bret/Hogan ever happened was on Nitro and it was just an angle to fuck with Sting.

Phil Apollo vs Bam Bam Big Yellow

Doink comes out again to spray people with his umbrella. You see, it's funny because it is an umbrella that SQUIRTS water instead of protects from water. Complete squash. Apollo didn't get any offense. Bam Bam literally squashed him with a senton. Diving headbutt for the win. Bam Bam did another one after the match just for fun. As Bam Bam went for a third, Friar Ferguson came out to prevent it. Friar sends Bam Bam out of the ring with a dropkick.

Next week will feature Crush vs Lex Luger. Fuck.

I would never be able to do these with out drinking.
