Post Raw & Pittsburgh Taping Thoughts
Wed, 05/06/2009 - 7:16am — J.R.
Posted in:
Random thoughts after watching Raw in the downtown Pittsburgh Marriott & then heading across the street and taping Smackdown & 4 segments for WGN America's Superstars show. BBQ'ed thoughts.....
Miz had another strong outing. He's got the verbal skills to become a main eventer. Big story will be how he produces bell to bell & Miz' weekly evolution.
I'll say this, Shane McMahon endures a helluva ass whipping which seems to delight many fans.
Randy Orton or OR-UN as some say will have to continue to fight the tide as he seeming has a growing fan base especially young, defiant males.
If John Cena beats Big Show at Judgment Day, I'll be shocked.
SD in Pitt had a challenging time following last week's MSG show.
Jeff vs Jericho highlights Friday night but Punk vs Edge isn't bad plus Edge does commentary for the Hardy-Y2J contest & Edge is excellent.
Mike Knox debuts Friday night and the younger version of Bruiser Brody, to some of us, had a solid first night. I need to hear Knox talk to get to know his persona better.
Nice McCool vs Gail Kim match Friday night on SD. A. Fox came to the ring w/ Michelle but I'm not sure what going on there. All the Divas have their eyes on Melina's title.
Cryme Tyme seem to be SD's resident comedians. Let's hear it for 'em.
Jericho's movement to SD has been executed excellently. Jericho-Mysterio looks to be on the horizon. Nice.
It seems to me that if wrestler's don't or rarely talk on TV that many fans perceive them to be ham & eggers. I can understand that logic.
Dolph Ziggler had an "interesting" SD. Dolph seems to have some Mr Perfect tendancies aside from the hair. Perfect was a pure athlete.
Charlie Haas had his most aggressive outing on SD that I have seen him have in years. Plus Shelton Benjamin showed more passion, and he didn't even wrestle, than I've seen from him in a LONG time. It was a good nite in that regard for the former tag partners.
John Morrison has something special. Let's hope it continues to evolve. You'll see some great offense from the Shaman this week.
Why do people continue to email me about the style of title belts. I don't care & it doesn't matter to me. Please, let it go.
I'm writing this in O'Hare. Ugh.
SD is a solid program this Friday nite but I can't say it's better them our show from MSG last week shich was special. I still think SD kicks Raw's ass but that's just one man's biased opinion. Boomer Sooner! JR

I've said it ones and i will say it again and again. SD always in my eyes has kicked Raw 's ass from the first day you started announcing on SD.
Raw to me was always a talk show than a wrestling show, where you had John cena talking every week , Randy ortan who talks so slow that even the fans when they BOOOO is giving up, let us not forget about Chris Jerico every week the same old talk show he had, but SD that is what you call pure wrestling with the best announce team on TV (J.R. & Tazz).
I would like to see Morrison becoming WWEchamp one day or World champ now that he is all on his own.
best regards and do what you do best.........
smackdown was better then raw last week but raw is the number 1 show in the best thing about raw right now is that they are building new stars like ted dibease in cody rhodes in mvp its not the same old faces so i congratulate wwe on doing that.

Smackdown kicks Raw's ass up, down, sideways, and all around. That's how it is. You have Chris Jericho who is going to easily take HBK's place someday. All hail Jericho.
Anyway, I was wondering....Do the WWE Creative Writers or site managers actually look through the forum posts? The reason I ask is because they now have a section where fans can pitch script ideas to the writers. I speant HOURS scripting a feud between R-Truth, John Morrison, Rey Mysterio, and Benjamin because I want to see the Intercontinental Championship defended the way it's intended to be. That title is too historic to be burried like all the other belts (European, Cruiserweight, and Hardcore). And I'm not tootin' my own horn but it's actually pretty damn good. Runs over a course of 16 weeks with several angles ending in a historic ladder match between Benjamin and John Morrison. I really hope they actually look because there's also another great idea someone posted concerning everyone's favorite Big Red Machine.
Can't wait to see SD because I KNOW it's going to OWN!

I will NEVER refer to HBK or any of the WWE Superstars as just mere 'Entertainers'. They are hard working, respectable wrestlers that deserve respect.
"I will put on a show like you've never, ever seen before. Why? Because I can?"
I agree SD does Kick Raw's ass!! Speaking of Melina, my favorite Diva why hasn't she made her Smackdown Debut yet?
