I was listening to the British Fist and NJ basically says imagine the Prime Time Players feuding with Cryme Tyme.

SHAD PLS

WHUR R U

Booker T's Presents: The Fav 5 (Episode Two!)

An interesting selection this time. :') Good listen as before though.

Lol so I finished Smackdown this morning, whilst in bed.

And fell asleep during the main event.

welp

No Cody Rhodes appearance? :(

Also, is it necessary to have 2 squash matches on the show? Brodus AND Ryback?

AJ/Kaitlyn could have been longer. Or if they wanted a quick match so badly, a DQ finish would have sufficed. Daniel Bryan was pretty hilarious though. Y'know, this could be a nice way to feature Derrick Bateman more on Smackdown...

Don't get me started on the whole Sheamus/Orton/ADR/Jericho crap. A tag team match AND THEN two singles matches? Really?

I don't even remember what else happened. Oh yeah, Big Show was like a schoolboy being told off by Laurinaitis. That was pretty amusing. Jack Swagger lost to R-Truth. Whatever. I'm not particularly looking forward to the match at Over The Limit for the tag team titles since Ziggler/Swagger's chances of winning are literally non-existent. Why use them as a filler tag team to lose all the time? Use someone else. -____-

Cesaro beat...someone. Oh yeah, A-Ry. Poor A-Ry. Aksana reveals Cesaro is now her "lover" and Teddy's facial expression is hilarious. Damien Sandow also cuts a fabulous promo backstage. He was so patronising with Striker, haha.

Oh yeah, Titus O'Neil and Darren Young beat Santino and Ryder. What has happened to Zack, man? Remember when I hated Titus though? Haha. He's growing on me with Darren Young now. I quite like them as a team and they're being featured on TV regularly.

Smackdown was below average.

Watched Smackdown,

I'm just going to say once again that it needs to be live. I didn't read spoilers this week but what also annoys me is the pumped in fake noise. It sounds awful. Stop it.

Daniel Bryan's promo was great, haha. Ricky and Berto's appearance was wonderful. Big Show... Not so much. Cody in jeans is always wonderful though. That being said, him losing to Khali and barely getting one over Show isn't making him look good going into Extreme Rules.

The diva's match between Nikki and Alicia Fox wasn't bad at all. Y'know how Kharma debuted at Extreme Rules? What if tomorrow, y'know...

AJ slapping Kaitlyn was A+. I was just watching like, "Bitch please. You're with Derrick Bateman. EASY FOR YOU TO SAY", haha.

Orton RKO-ing Mahal was dumb. Is anyone even following his crappy angle with Kane? Really? That interview was just BOOOOOOOOOR-ING.

CESARO WAS WONDERFUL. THE FEELINGS... HIS ENTRANCE... Why did they give him a proper entrance if it was a try out match though? He beat Tyson Kidd, as expected. It was a short match, as expected, unfortunately. That uppercut at the end was brutal. But when Aksana was glued to him, omg. And Teddy's face when she kissed him... Hilarious. Can't say we didn't see this coming.

Eve as Laurinaitis's assistant whatsit thingy is perfect. She's so annoying and seems to patronising and crap, it's wonderful.

Another tag team champion sighting! That's twice this week! A W is also awesome. I like him.

It's also funny because I actually find Titus O'Neil entertaining now. He and Darren Young make a good team. I used to hate Titus but he's been pretty decent as of late. And they won another match! This time against Yoshi :( and Zeke (who cares?).

I skipped through most of the main event though. Whoops~ Sheamus obviously won and he and Bryan had a bit of a staredown. I hope Bryan pins him/makes him tap out AT LEAST ONCE tomorrow.

plz

So overall, I enjoyed the show?

Anyway, I'm a month, A WHOLE MONTH, behind on ROH. I'm halfway through Showdown in the Sun Night 1 right now. Watching Coleman & Alexander vs Haas & Benjamin. Yayayayayay :D

EDIT: Totally forgot about Ryback. Standard squash. At least there was more focus on the ring than The Usos backstage? Jacob Kaye was wonderful, haha. Poor guy. Great promo though! :')

NXT - 29th February 2012 - 8/10

I was initially inclined to give this show a 9/10 but the opening is why it dropped down to an 8.

The opening match was Alex Riley & Percy Watson vs Titus O'Neil. I can't put myself through their matches purely because I have little to no interest in them. They're not bad, they can be pretty decent and I'm a fan of A-Ry and Darren Young is growing on me. They're just struggling to really get my attention and keep me interested. Darren Young pins Percy Watson after delivering the firemans carry into a double knee gutbuster.

Derrick Bateman is supposed to take on Heath Slater but there's an intervention in the ring in the form of Kaitlyn, Alicia Fox and Justin Gabriel. Good choice here; the best friend rallying the guy's other friend and the "evil girlfriend's" former mentor. They try to convince Derrick Maxine isn't good for him or anyone. Kaitlyn kisses him to show him "what love is". Maxine comes out and they start fighting until they're broken apart. I enjoyed this segment. Regal's snippets of commentary were amusing. Gabriel is adorable. And I think Bateman makes a great, lovable babyface. This was good at further pushing the rivalry between Kaitlyn and Maxine and adding more heat for their match later on as well as pushing Bateman and Maxine's relationship. Good.

Natalya is backstage with Tyson Kidd. First and foremost, there is no farting! McGillicutty interrupts their conversation and they have a match next.

This was a great match. Tyson Kidd was looking great as usual throughout and McGillicutty had some great moments. If he could use his real surname, Hennig, there would be a lot more fuel to add to this fire and this could be even more entertaining, storyline-wise because at the moment it's just McGillicutty saying the Harts feel sorry for Kidd. If we can acknowledge his family's wrestling history, it would be that much better. Anyway, there was a great kick to McGillicutty's jaw at one point and an awesome moonsault. Earlier on, there was some great, slower, technical wrestling and really clever use of the ropes from Kidd. McGillicutty managed to evade the sharpshooter, landed a kick to Kidd's head and a vicious neckbreaker for the win. This match really shows how much talent there is and I just wish we got matches like this on TV more. My only problem is, I'd have liked to see this match go on for another five minutes rather than watch that little Cena/Rock segment.

Maxine is backstage and we are subjected to some awful acting from Aksana, who is trying to tell Maxine to calm down.

Next we got a great promo segment from Matt Striker. He's trying to make an important announcement, only to be interrupted by... That's right. Tyler Reks and Curt Hawkins. I thought this was really entertaining. They had the chairs, popcorn and all out, making snide comments... I loved it. Their expressions when Regal was announced as the General Manager were great, haha. Apparently, he has something special lined up for them next week! I thought Striker's delivery was good and Reks and Hawkins were hilarious. A successful segment this was.

I still want Curt Hawkins's "CHANGE" t-shirt.

The main event is Maxine vs Kaitlyn. You're probably wondering why we'd be given a match that is likely to be disastrous as the main event, right? Well, it was actually half decent. I kind of enjoyed it and the presence of Johnny Curtis and Derrick Bateman at the announce table made things that much more hilarious and entertaining. Any references to Johnny Curtis's van or "getting weird" are brilliant. I think Maxine and Kaitlyn have actually improved in the ring a lot in the past year or so... From what we were shown, of course, since half the time the camera was on the announce table. Their technique was a little repetitive was the ending sequence was decent. Kaitlyn pins Maxine. Naturally, Maxine is raging and shoves aside Bateman and Curtis before walking towards Regal and delivering a rather, uh, suggestive message. The crowd starts up with the hoeski chants and she leaves.

NXT was wonderful.

On a side note, praise to whoever had the "LETS GET WEIRD" sign. I love you.

NXT sucked this week.

We got 2 matches.

TWO MATCHES.

What the fuck?!

Literally, half of the show was devoted to promoting Mania and recapping Raw. This is a fucking webshow in the US, right? So what the fuck are WWE playing at? Hardly anyone watches it and anyone who does will have already seen Raw! Fuck's sake.

I love Curt Hawkins's CHANGE tshirt. I want one. The referee banning him from ringside after threatening Tyson Kidd during his match with Tyler Reks was hilarious. I loved this match... But you already knew that, right? Tyson won the match. I think it would have been interesting to see Reks with an upset victory over NXT's "top guy" but if they draw this out long and well enough, Hawkins and Reks eventually winning could be that much better.

We had an entertaining backstage segment where Maxine and Bateman argue a bit. I love Derrick Bateman. He's great. Bateman then talks to Kaitlyn and that was pretty awkward but it was meant to be awkward so it's okay. Johnny Curtis pops up and Kaitlyn punches him. This is great.

We have another backstage segment where Matt Striker is in his office. Kaitlyn comes along and asks for a match against Maxine. Maxine barges in, the pair argue and she says she agrees with Hawkins and Reks about how much Striker sucks. After he sets a match between them for next week, she leaves and Kaitlyn reassures him he's doing a great job. Good segment. It set up a match for next week and added to Reks/Hawkins/Striker.

In the main event, Alex Riley took on Titus O'Neil. I believe Titus won but it wasn't clean. I didn't bother watching the match. I'm guessing it was mediocre.

Whatever.

NXT sucked this week.

Aside from the commentary with William Regal and Josh Matthews. As usual, that was wonderful.

They wasted half the show.

Chris Jericho vs. Titus O'Neil
