So, uh, yeah. I didn’t watch RAW, but apparently Vince is dead or something.
But Benoit is on ECW now, so fair swap.

I was watching and literally exclaimed “What the fuck?”. That ending absolutely made no sense and came so far out of left field that I have no clue what’s going on?
As it blew up, I laughed my ass off. I dunno if I was supposed to find it funny or not, but I laughed hysterically. After last nights Sopranos, I find it funny that Vince was “whacked” tonite…
411 must’ve crashed, so will people tell me who all switched places? All I know of is that Khali went to SD!; Booker, Boogey and Benoit went to ECW and…?
Oh, OK. I was in and out and thought I heard that Booker was going to ECW. Looks like Raw gets the best (again). They ridded themselves of two giant pieces of crap in Masters and Khali, dumped Flair who does nothing of note and picked up Hulk Cena’s future monster (Snitsky) and the two awesome guys in Booker and Kennedy.
And Benoit doesn’t make ECW any more watchable. That show is still dreck.
I’m assuming ECW gets a few people in the supplemental draft (ie, the mid-to-low card draft because RAW is too important for them other than a cameo at the end) to bulk up the roster.
What a piece of shit show. At least Lashley is now officially on Raw so the ECW champion will be somewhat associated with that show. I think the last time Lashley wrestled on ECW was December to Dismember.
Just got back from the show tonight, and I have to say it was a pretty fun time. The crowd was super hot and into pretty much everything. Personally, I thought too many of the draft picks were duds. I don’t see the point of moving Boogeyman, Snitsky, and Khali, as they all do pretty much the same thing for their brand. Torrie Wilson? Meh. Masters? Why? (And, in their own internal logic, I wonder who was supposed to be on Smackdown’s team in the battle royal before he got drafted.) I was happy to see Foley, Dusty, Piper, and yes even Moolah live, as I have never seen any of them before. It was a good show with an energetic crowd and wrestlers who all seemed to be on their A-game for the “big show” feel of the night.
Oh yeah, and I got to witness Vince McMahon die and then got to breathe in the smoke from his burning limo as I walked to my car. Good times, indeed.
From WWE.com “As the physical body of Mr. McMahon remains to be uncovered, perhaps the most perplexing piece to this puzzle is the Chairman’s uncanny, almost clairvoyant premonition of tonight’s grim events. Over the last few weeks on WWE programming, the swaggering, well-off billionaire seemed to unravel right before the eyes of millions. Speaking of a threatening presence that lurked in his foreseeable future, Mr. McMahon even cited the looming of a “black cloud” last week – a cloud very similar to the post-combustive smoke that billowed above his limousine tonight.”
to quote Monty Burns, McMahon is going to “pull a Jesus”
I hope they pull the trigger on a Ric Flair/Edge feud. I guarantee if they let Flair act like the Flair of old that would be a definite money program. Benoit on ECW is cool, I hope he gets a match with CM Punk that runs at least fifteen minutes. Kennedy going to Raw is somewhat bittersweet as i know he has the talent to play on the flagship show but seriously doubt he will being getting a title run anytime soon.
Its times like these I miss MRoberts…He’d make a Nipple H comment, then say something about Blandy Orton, then discuss the fact that Hulk Cena is going to destroy Black Lesnar…then we’d all flame him and he’d respond to all of them. Someone would bring up the fact that their dad died or something, then he’d say he understands how things get rough cause his first column on this blog was completely panned, then we’d flame him some more…
He wrote 27 paragraphs about it. And misspelled limousine approximately 27 times. Thankfully he capitalized all of them in order to make them that much easier to find.
Yeah, he literally went off the deep end with his “analysis” of Raw: http://thecageeffect.com/?p=75. Although I have to say that the Shitsky nickname made me laugh.
Hello all, I just stopped by for a second to check out the dumb ass limo bombing reaction (McMahon has now jumped the shark). For my full thoughts on the subject, the link to my Cage Effect Raw Is Roberts column is on here. Yes, I accidentally made a typographical error typing limousine at 2 A.M. when I was tired and the spell checker did not catch it, even though I copied and pasted the word several times (some people consider this misspelling to be a crime afainst humanity). Thanks to some helpful, hate filled, trolls, I noticed and have now fixed the horrendous typographical error.
So, it was Mr. McMahon appreciation night. Nobody appreciated him, everyone made fun of him or insulted him. Now that he’s “dead” they can have Owen/Eddie style tribute shows for a week (c’mon, do you think that would be considered in poor taste, considering everything else they’ve done with Eddie?) and everyone will say nice things about him. Then they will have a big hunt to find out who the “killer” was, ala Austin getting hit by a car. Then, in the end, Vince will return to reveal that he did it. “It was me! It was me all along!!”
Is it just me or did pro wrestling just jump the shark?
This whole thing seems incredibly stupid, vaguely offensive (US servicemen and Iraqi civilians are legitly dying daily due to car bombings), uninventive (the initial reaction from alot of people is that they are just ripping off the Sopranos), and sensationalism for the sake of sensalatinalism. “We haven’t blow up a car or killed anyone yet! Let’s do that!” Sheesh.
I miss the days when WWE(F) being edgy was Undertaker crucifying Stone Cold.
Maybe Undertaker will bring back Vince from the dead as a zombie minion?
The worst part? The world would probably be a little better off overall if Vince really was dead…
Kennedy and Booker moving to Raw is a nice reward for their great work over the past year.
Flair moving to Smackdown is something a bit different for him at least.
Benoit going to ECW seems like a waste. It’s almost as if they’re trying their best to piss him off, for reasons i can’t fathom.
The rest of the moves are pointless. Guys like Masters and Boogeyman are not going to be any more utilized or important on their new brands than they were on the old ones.
I was watching and literally exclaimed “What the fuck?”. That ending absolutely made no sense and came so far out of left field that I have no clue what’s going on?
A limo explosion? Uh… what?
As it blew up, I laughed my ass off. I dunno if I was supposed to find it funny or not, but I laughed hysterically. After last nights Sopranos, I find it funny that Vince was “whacked” tonite…
Damnit…hitman Rikishi is at it again!
I thought this joke was great! I truly wish it was Rikishi….
411 must’ve crashed, so will people tell me who all switched places? All I know of is that Khali went to SD!; Booker, Boogey and Benoit went to ECW and…?
Khali, Flair, Masters, Torrie Wilson went to SD!
Snitsky, Lashley, Booker, Mr. Kennedy went to RAW
Benoit and Boogeyman went to ECW
Oh, OK. I was in and out and thought I heard that Booker was going to ECW. Looks like Raw gets the best (again). They ridded themselves of two giant pieces of crap in Masters and Khali, dumped Flair who does nothing of note and picked up Hulk Cena’s future monster (Snitsky) and the two awesome guys in Booker and Kennedy.

Masters rules.
I’m assuming ECW gets a few people in the supplemental draft (ie, the mid-to-low card draft because RAW is too important for them other than a cameo at the end) to bulk up the roster.
Or not. Who knows.
WCW Hummer Angle ‘07
What a piece of shit show. At least Lashley is now officially on Raw so the ECW champion will be somewhat associated with that show. I think the last time Lashley wrestled on ECW was December to Dismember.
Or it was last Tuesday on SciFi, but thanks for playing.
Kelly’s right, ignorance is bliss.
The draft… as usual, Raw made out (Lashley and Kennedy will both do jobs to HHH six months after his return), smackdown got screwed.
But the ending of Raw was more interesting than the end of the Sopranos.
The WWE.com website article on Vince’s “death” is hilarious. How does this lead us to the Jackass angle? I have no idea and I don’t care.
Benoit to ECW sucks.
You are all so insensitive. A man just died.
If you believe that I have a bridge in Brooklyn I’d LURRVE to sell ya!

you can’t fool us this time Linda!!!!!

Just what the fuck are the writers smoking?
I TOLD YOU!!!! VINCE IS THE FUCKING ANTICHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!
Putting Boogeyman on ECW was … wow, way to marginalize your own programming. Again. I do wonder, however, how Wednesday’s draft will pan out.

Ah the good old days

Unfortunately, you haven’t fixed the horrendous error that is your continued existence here.
Oh, TAG.
Greatest put-down ever…
I wouldn’t go that far..
Ok maybe not, but ya gotta admit, the timing on it was great
You are such a witty writer that you must be the dope who is writing the never ending Boogeyman push.
I actually think it’s a way to permanently write Vince off the shows. I mean…name any one logical way he can come back from this.
…I just said the word “logical” in terms of WWE Creative.
Never mind.
Vince can’t die, he’s the higher power.
Hey, Snitsky is on RAW now. At least we can look for an Snitsky-Eugene reunion.
So, it was Mr. McMahon appreciation night. Nobody appreciated him, everyone made fun of him or insulted him. Now that he’s “dead” they can have Owen/Eddie style tribute shows for a week (c’mon, do you think that would be considered in poor taste, considering everything else they’ve done with Eddie?) and everyone will say nice things about him.

Hey, 1999 is more than 7 years ago.
Am I the only one that feels jipped that we did not get a “DAMN!” from Ron Simmons after the limo exploded?
OK, thank you for adding something awesome to the whole angle, even if it’s fantasy booking, so to speak.
Is it just me or did pro wrestling just jump the shark?

You really have to reach to claim that its offensive. Those two things are miles away.
Also, jump the shark jumped the shark 7 years ago.
