7/28 WWE Raw Report

We are in Houston, Texas and your announcers are John ‘Enron’ Layfield, Jerry ‘Bad News Bears in Breaking Training’ Lawler, and Michael ‘Home to two Wrestlemanias’ Cole.

John Cena makes his way to the ring to talk about his opponent at SummerSlam.

John mentions the lively bunch in Houston, even though he is not very lively. John says that normally he would share in your enthusiasm. Last week, it was revealed to himself and the world that Plan C, what he hoped would never happen is happening. Brock Lesnar. He is a marked man by the Authority. They want the WWE Title off his neck so bad, they have hired a mercenary.

John says that his opponent at SummerSlam is ‘The’ Brock Lesnar. Paul talked to the WWE Universe. The WWE Universe may want to see Brock Lesnar beat the hell out of him. John says that he is certainly not deaf and he knows who his opponent is.

Brock Lesnar is the most devastating force in the WWE. His force is seismic. He destroys who he wants, when he wants. Forty men have been able to say that they were champion. One beast has defeated the streak. He faces that Beast at SummerSlam. Paul told the truth. John says that he will take the beating of his life. John says that he will not lay down. He will fight. He is going to SummerSlam to beat Brock Lesnar, just like he did in 2012.

For those who cheer and for those who boo, the Authority and the people do not realize what will happen if Brock Lesnar becomes champion. Brock is a mercenary and a hired gun. He fights when he wants. Who can stop Brock?

Paul Heyman comes out and he introduces himself. Paul says at SummerSlam, his client Brock Lesnar will conquer John Cena and take away from him the WWE Championship. Paul says that it is courageous of John to realize the beating that he will take, but he does not understand that those are mighty big words by a man who will be turned into a victim.

Paul asks if he knows what it is like to be victimized? He has suffered defeat but rose to the occasion. Paul says that John has exacted revenge. John has never been victimized. He tells John to ask the Undertaker. You can’t ask the Undertaker because no one has seen or heard from the Undertaker since Wrestlemania.

John wants to defend his title and survive at SummerSlam. Paul says that Brock is looking to conquer John. His client is marching forward and is on the offensive. Brock will not only F-5 John Cena and pin him, Brock will victimize John Cena. Paul says that John loves representing everyone, even the ones who say that he sucks.

The only thing that Brock Lesnar is passionate about is the glee he gets when he beats his victim. John will realize when he wakes up from his beating that he is no longer the champion. John will be beaten, victimized, and conquered.

John says that he is sick of Paul’s crap and he wants to talk real to Paul.

John says that Paul can understand passion. The people chant E-C-W and Paul gets a smile on his face. They both share this passion. John says that this is his friggin’ life. He shows up on time and he works his ass off and he shows it. He has passion for the title. That 300 poundgorilla that he tows around whenever he wants to show up has no passion. He is big, he is strong, and he is a super athlete. The thing that separates him is heart.

Brock will have to beat every breath out of his body because he will walk out of SummerSlam with the title.

Cesaro’s music plays and he hugs Paul Heyman.

Cesaro says that even though he has gone his separate ways from Paul Heyman, he will not let John Cena say that about him. He calls John a muscled up walking billboard, not a wrestler. He tells John that you cannot wrestle in sneakers. Cesaro tells John that he cannot wrestle. Cesaro challenges Cena to a match.

Paul says that everyone gets a bonus in an impromptu match.

John says that he looks forward to wrestling circles around Cesaro tonight.

Hunter says that he can change the match, but he is not going to do that. As long as Roman Reigns is in the picture, he won’t get a title match. Roman will screw up all of those title matches. To get a title match, he needs to finish off Roman Reigns.

Orton says that he will finish off Reigns tonight, but Hunter tells Orton that Kane is facing Reigns.

Orton says that he has a problem with Kane, Reigns, . . . and Hunter.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Paige skips to the ring and she has something to say.

We see what she did last week.

Paige says that she wants to set the record straight. She is young and she lets her emotions get the best of her. She still thinks that AJ is her best friend in the whole world. What she did was deplorable. She was not thinking of AJ as her friend, she thought of AJ as the person who took her title. Paige vows that she will never act like that again.

AJ’s music plays and she skips to the ring.

AJ tells Paige that she is a casper looking crumpet. She asks if anyone is buying this.

Paige interrupts and AJ tells Paige that she is not done. She gets why Paige is mad. She knows what it is like to have a title you worked for your entire life and have it taken away. If you want to be like AJ and skip around, be like her. She doesn’t play little girl games. She doesn’t smile in front of someone and whisper behind her back. If she doesn’t like you, she is going to say it to her face . . . like a real woman.

Paige says that she is AJ’s friend and if she doesn’t believe that AJ must be crazy.

AJ heard those five letters and wanted to know what Paige said.

Triple H makes his way to the ring along with a Principal Owner and recent occupant of the Miami-Dade County Jail, Stephanie McMahon.

Hunter says that we have spent a lot of time together. We have laughed together, cried together. He has been proud of you, but he has also been disappointed by you. Hunter says that he was disappointed and angry by what you did last week. You laughed at his wife when she was arrested last week.

You found it funny that the mother of his children was handcuffed like a common criminal and be taken out of the arena. You laugh when she is taken out of this arena in a police cruiser?

Hunter says that he will never forgive you for that. Do you know what that did to his wife? Do you know how badly that hurt her? But you think it is funny.

All of that over a simple misunderstanding. Brie has antagonized his wife. Stephanie was defending herself. It was perfectly acceptable and understandable that his wife struck Brie Bella because she was asking for it. It was a simple misunderstanding. That is what they are here for. The reality of the situation is that the charges have been dropped, except for the assault and battery charge.

Brie refuses to let that go. We are here to try to reconcile that misunderstanding. Stephanie has asked Brie to come here tonight so they can put this whole ugly incident behind them.

Stephanie takes the mic and the crowd calls her a jailbird. She wants Brie to come out so they can get this over with.

Chris Jericho’s music plays and he comes to the stage.

Hunter tells Chris they are in the middle of something.

Chris apologizes for interrupting and he tells Stephanie how bad he feels about what happened to her last week. Chris wants to give his sympathies with a song. Chris sings Bad Boys and the crowd joins in.

Hunter laughs sarcastically and he asks Chris if he thinks this is funny.

Chris tells Stephanie that this is 2014 and Orange is the New Black. It is alright to be a jailbird these days. This is the reason why the WWE Network was made. It is so we can see Stephanie taken out in handcuffs over and over and over and over.

Chris says that he has to give Hunter credit for standing by his little flower like a protector to make sure his wife is okay. Chris wonders why didn’t Hunter leave the arena with Stephanie when she was arrested. Why didn’t Hunter wait until 15 minutes after the show ended to check on his wife.

The reason is that Trips realized that Stephanie is nothing more than a filthy dirty, brutal bottom feeding trashbag ho.

Hunter tells Chris he should focus less on them and more on Bray Wyatt.

Chris says that is why he is out here. He is focused on Bray Wyatt. He wants Bray Wyatt in the ring tonight.

Hunter tells Chris he has to wait until SummerSlam to face Bray, but tonight . . .

Seth Rollins hits Jericho from behind with the briefcase and Hunter tells Chris that he will face Seth Rollins tonight.

John Layfield talks about how the people who reference Stephanie’s time in jail are disrespectful.

In case you missed John Cena at the start of Raw, we get some highlights.

Lana speaks in Russian to start and then she says that your American flag is a statement that used to be to show supremacy over other nations. It has been on battlefields and even on the surface of the moon. Where is your Old Glory now? It is a faded banner for a ruined nation ruled by cowards who get fat on your apathy.

Russia continues to prove its might and is commanded by its fearless leader Vladimir Putin.

What does Obama do? He wags his finger and warns about peacekeeping options. Your President is a laughable leader. Now, let’s take a look at the fool you chose before Obama to rule this rotting empire.

They show a photo of George W. Bush on the TitanTron.

Jack Swagger’s music plays and Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger come to the stage.

Zeb calls her a blonde haired Bolshevik twit. He tells Lana and the trained bear to listen. He says that this is a real flag with 50 stars and 13 bars. There is no mistaking that this represents the United States. It represents a family sitting around the Thanksgiving table. It represents the thousands of people sitting around a television set watching football. It represents pick up trucks, pretty girls, and beer.

Zeb says that this represents the thousands of brave men and women who fought and died to protect their liberty and preserve their freedom. Every time you insult the Americans, it makes it easier for Real Americans to rise and say ‘We the People’.

Swagger runs to the ring and he attacks Rusev. Rusev runs Swagger into the ringside barrier a few times and then he throws him to the other side of the barrier. Rusev sends Swagger into the ring.

Keep Sending That Feedback to Spike

I know the reports are looking better today but let make it clear to Spike TV that can't get rid of TNA. Tell them you want your weekly fix of Impact Wrestling.

What's Planned For Raw Tonight?

The Wrestling Observer reports that as of yesterday, the script for tonight's Raw included the following:

* Chris Jericho vs. Luke Harper
* A Miz TV segment with Bo Dallas
* Build for Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton at SummerSlam
* John Cena interview reacting to his match with Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 

Opinionated View- Jericho vs Harper will suck because it's Jericho and doesn't care enough to even phone it in at best he's just sending a text. Bo Dallas doing anything is boring and adding the Miz only makes it worse. Reigns is just not ready for the big push they are giving him and from reports Orton isn't willing to help with him. Cena vs Lesnar a dumb feud built on two people one of him is a 3 appearance a year guy and another who is dropping to part time.

7/25 WWE Smackdown Viewer Numbers

The 7/25 WWE Smackdown on Syfy drew 2.72 million viewers. This number is down from last week's show that drew 2.89 million viewers. However, the show was the highest rated original program on cable for Friday, earning a 0.7 rating in the ages 18 to 49 demographic.

https://www.facebook.com/RealWrestlingNewsAndOpinionatedViews?ref_type=bookmark

I'll admit I won't feel completely secure until I hear an official statement form#TNA or Spike. But allow me to point out this week #WWE will announce the numberd for the network. I can't help but wonder if the IWC is so worried about the numbers that the whole cancelation of #IMPACTonSPIKE was set out there so that could be the big story everyone is talking about instead of what could be some awful news for #WWENetwork. Here's another thing last few weeks its been nothing bout good news for TNA the #TNANYC shows have lived up to the hype and the Viewership/Ratings have been going up. Meanwhile WWE awful PPV and a interview by Lana that got bad press. Momentum can be a big deal.

Yeah I admit this sounds like I'm in the same class of guys that think Silva took a dive vs Weidman. And than I'm speculating the US Government was behind 9/11 and the moon landing was filmed on a soundstage. But notice what happened the story gets started and now everyone is talking about TNA. Nothing about the Network Numbers.

Flashback Reviews TNA Destination X 2012

Austin Aries made his TNA debut at Sacrifice 2005 after winning a fan vote to face Christopher Daniels in a match. The match was impressive he earned a full time TNA contract. Eventually his ROH tag partner Roderick Strong joined the roster and they were paired up with each other and Alex Shelly giving TNA a take on the Generation Next stable from ROH. Just as they were starting to get a push Aries made (In my opinion anyway) a really stupid move. Deciding to work an ROH show even with a major snowstorm coming down and  TNA PPV he was supped to open taking place the next day. Aries and Strong were yanked off TV and Strong was released. Aries was eventually repackaged as Austin Starr a gimmick the was in the same vein as Superstar Billy Graham and Jessie Ventura. He was placed in a feud with Bob Backlund and refused to come in on to tape stuff for the feud on his day off. Aries has also picked up nuclear heat backstage with reports of a bad attitude. When ROH went on PPV TNA yanked all talent under contract. Aries not making much money again off TV in TNA and now unable to work for ROH with a contract asked for his release and it was granted. He returned to ROH eventually turning heel chaining his Austin Aries gimmick to be more like the Austin Starr one and became the only two time ROH champion ever. And I pretty much gave up on the idea of Austin Aries in TNA. I thought the guy was a great talent no doubt but he wasn't worth the trouble and he was to drunk on the ROH Kook-Aid as one of big issues seemed to be anger over not being treated like a main eventer as he was in ROH. Than Jim "The NWA Was Perfect" Cornett took over ROH and eventually  Aries was let go from the company as part of a budget cut/ creative shake up/ Cornett's just stupid. (Remember they cut Aries who wrestles and cut great promos and held onto The Bricoes and Roderick Strong.) 

Aries did start working some date with DGUSA and EVOLVE but it never caught on. He tried out for the return of Tough Enough and was passed on. Yep WWE thought Big Andy Levine was going to be a big star but didn't' think Austin Aries was good enough to even get on the show. Aries actually was going to give up wrestling after that. Than a call came in from TNA. They wanted him back. At Des X 2012 he won a match to earn a contract. And when Dixie Carter went up to congratulate him he said, "I should be congratulating you." Yep still had the ego but this time it worked. Aries quickly became one of the highlights of any show he was on. The fans dug his matches, his gimmick, his promos by the summer of 2012 he was the hottest act in the whole company. Having won the X-Division title and setting a record for the longest single reign. TNA was ready to put him in the main event. Option C was created and a success so was the event that feared the first ever Option C a success or was it like Aries first stint TNA kind of rough and really and a disappointment.

It's a really effective open that would even non TNA fans hyped up. Mike Tenay welcomes us to the show and hypes there will be a new X-Division champion and Aries title shot. Jeremy Borash s filing in for Taz on this show as he had some kind of commitment with his family. I like JB as an announcer an I feel he picks up on things Taz and Tenay miss.  They hype the rest of the card. JB talks about how just a year ago Aries earned his TNA contract and now he's in the world title match.

Rubix is Jigsaw who has worked for CHIKARA, EVOLVE, ROH, and DGUSA.

This really was a great moment. I have to remind everyone there was a legit fear Sorenson may never walk again. So just seeing him walking is a great moment. Sadly there is no happy ending. Jesse wanted to come back but TNA's doctors said his neck wasn't healing enough to clear him. For a while he did have a job backstage but he never really happy with it form what I hear. When the budget started getting tight in TNA he was let go. It sounds cruel but its the kind of stuff you have to deal with in business. Do you cut Jesse who your doctors say shouldn't wrestle or do you cut someone like Kenny King who can? Having Zema come out was all about heel heat and JB even mention Zema had never even called to check on Jesse.

I like some of the sequences they pulled off and I enjoy the finish with Joe using his body to prevent the breaks.

And than they feuded non stop for a year plus and to make it worse we got two awful story lines form it. First Daniels and Kazarian accusing AJ of having an affair with Dixie Carter and than Claire Lynch.

The issues though remains the feud was at that point it should have stopped already and if you are re-watching the 2011/2012 PPVs in order you have seen this so many times in a row your going to be sick of it. Had this been the end of the feud it would have been a good capper but it wasn't they just kept going.

Roode argues with the referee about the count.  Roode shoves the ref who shoves him back witch puts him in the corner.  Running corner drop kick by Aries.  Roode escapes the brain buster and shoves Aries into the referee. Roode has the belt again. Belt shot by Roode. Roode gets the referee and covers and Aries kicks taw to drawing a huge pop. Roode with a great face of shock. Roode goes for the pay off but Aries with  a small package that gets two. Roode charges but Aries moves and Roode hits the corner. Kick to face by Aries. Brain Buster for the title win. This was the match of the year in 2012 I don't' care what over rated match Undertaker had that year it wasn't as good as this. Its starts off slow and builds on almost every little spot. The technical wrestling is great the high spots are done well sold correctly and never rushed. I also love how when the match starts Roode is cocky than he can't put Aries the guy "Not even in his league" away so he goes to the bag of tricks. The heel moves fail and than he gets desperate like a boxer or MMA fighter going for a knockout blow only to open himself up to get caught. This is a hard match to review because I just want to watch it not review it. I get caught up in all the match. 

The fans pop huge time for the title change. Tenay and JB put over what a great match it is. Confetti falls from the sky as Aries celebrates his title win. We close as Tenay tells us Destination X will go down in the record books as the night Austin Aries became world heavyweight champion. The title change legit stunned me. Roode had won the world title by cheating his long time tag partner James Storm out of it. With Storm leading the BFGS it looked like the big blow would be the main event for the world title. But Roode vs Storm didn't need the world title. Instead we got the great Roode vs Storm death match and the awesome Hardy vs Aries world title match. Plus by having a fan favorite world champion it allowed the Aces and Eights to target him. 

Overall this show is awesome the main event alone is worth the price of admission. The tournament is pretty good and give us a nice look at different talents and no match feels the same or a repeat of what we had just seen. Even the worst match on the card isn't that bad its just comes off as filing. Defiantly pick this one up sometime. Its one of the stronger TNA shows from Hogan Era.
