Twitter is a tremendous thing.

 

So I hear Alberto Del Rio is talking trash. Just one question... Who the hell is Alberto Del Rio?!!!

Batista does the wonderful "my (future) opponent is a nobody" that's made so many people care about feuds.

 

Really batista hahahahah. I'm the one wining all the major titles while u were getting ur ass kick by your plumber (Vince lucero) See u at the rumble. Like we say in #Mexico U can buy muscles but U can't buy Huevos cabron

So Alberto responds by basically calling him a steroid-using asshole.

He was fantastic. As a character he has come on leaps and bounds and is solid in the ring if the matches are kept short and just involve a load of bombs. An extended run with the IC title would really enhance both him and the belt - he'd come out of it in a solid position to head back into the world title picture. The return of the 'Bully' skits would be nice too, genuinely my highlight of WWE last year.

It seems like a lot of people really were overlooking those Bully Ryback segments when they were happening. I agree they were a highlight of the year, they were some of the best WWE backstage skits in years.

The first one was short, sure, but it was still a match. It even had a commercial break as I recall. Its definitely part of the series, because the finish to that match (the cradle) was played off in 2/3 Falls, and Sami's pin on Cesaro was the whole basis for continuing the feud.

 

I just found it confusing because I've seen more than one person call it "III", like somehow we'd all forgotten about a match.

 

EDIT: I looked it up and it went 7:33. But you know before I re-watched it recently I had it in my mind that it was a super quick flash pin too. So I don't blame anyone. Funny how people remember things.

Finally finished RAW from this past week. It was a fun show and you usually can count one really good match a week (Reigns/Punk), but it felt like more of a one-off then a show in the story arc, which makes sense given the National Championship. I always enjoy Flair and Cena calling out Orton for having the audacity to call Flair overrated made me smile. I enjoy what they have done with the Orton character basically making him into the common internet perception of him. It has gotten rid of most of the cheers. However, Cena/Orton just has never been appealing to me even though I like both now.

 

The fact that Rey has the turned one of the best bumps in wrestling into a great offensive move speaks to how awesome he is. I am talking about the slide into a belly flop into the outside. I was bit distracted during this match, but it did not seem like they hit their true potential in the match, but they seem to be moving forward with Bryan's heel turn. I liked the fact that Bryan wove in his experience with Kane, but it is too little too late for me. I wonder what Brie thinks of this? Michael Cole posited that question during her match so it is clear that on-screen in this universe that they are engaged. I won't call them out on half-assed soap opera-ness again to give them a chance to rectify this situation, but color me unimpressed again.

 

Why dont the Rhodes boy get promo time? Yeah they have great matches, but lets add a little flavoring to this steak.

 

I enjoyed DDP on the Steve Austin podcast. He is such a natural talking. He just always gets me JAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCKED!

 

Eat. Sleep. Conquer. Repeat. BROCK ROCKS~! I am disappointed we are not getting the Mark Henry match. I really wanted Sheamus/Brock. When is Sheamus coming back?

 

Alicia Fox is wicked hot (and dangerous). Needed more Summer Rae.

 

The 3MB insert promo was pretty funny. Drew McIntrye stealing the show. Heath Slater is still injured clearly. Too bad would have been way better with some classic Slater bumps.

 

Put in the "Bad News Barrett Sucks" camp.

 

Piper's Pit with The Shield I thought was the best segment by far. Rollins seemed way more comfortable on the mic. Ambrose was pretty funny at the beginning. Piper was in classic form stirring the shit between The Shield. Really good stuff.

 

Punk vs Reigns, I was really amped for this match. I have been a huge Reigns mark since the get-go and thought he was the best suited to parlay this run into a big push and not just because how he looked. He understood how to make the most out of every interaction in the ring and how to sell his moves. The howl before the spear and the punch to the ground before the Superman Punch are just plain bitchin'. I don't think they hit their full potential in this match, but I thought it was a very good first offering in hopefully what will be many more matches. The rib work by Reigns was very solid, but I think Punk could have done a little more to keep the crowd involved however as someone pointed out that may have been a lost cause as this Baltimore crowd kinda sucked. The Reigns superman punch off the Punk springboard clothesline was a thing of beauty. I liked Reigns winning, but with some help from Ambrose. So is Reigns the better wrestler or was this The Shield as a unit? Reigns gets too big for his britches, but Ambrose and Rollins claim that unit is stronger than the individual should be good.

 

Jake The Snake as the final surprise was shocking and got a pretty good reaction. Given that they will be in Mid-South territory for Wrestlemania, I presume he is a lock for the HOF, but can he headline? Given that reaction, maybe. Especially if you stack him with the Midnight Express and The Fabulous Freebirds, oh wait that only appeals to us. :D

Well that was interesting. Ryback has zero tweets.

 

The tweets above are still on the WWE site though.

 

Can somebody make sense of this?

He deleted them all off Twitter, but I'm assuming the WWE site does not erase deleted tweets and once a tweet is posted I guess a site admin would have to take it off the WWE page.
