Thoughts From Atop The Lair 02/25/2001: Why am I Not Surprised?

 

I am TMIB, The Man In Black, and I sit high atop my lair observing the wrestling world.  This week a lot going on.

WWE RAW:

Why am I not surprised….for the second week in a row The Rock is NOT been on Raw….YAWN WWE…..you bring back the most electrifying man in sports entertainment and drop the ball.  Just one week after his return no Rock.  And now two weeks after his return he is doing a promo via satellite…come on WWE WE WANT THE ROCK LIVE AND IN COLOR. 

Here is the question floating around..is The Rock truly back or is he just here for WM.  Take those thoughts from our head WWE..it seems you would use Rock every chance you get.  But you are not using him…LETS GO WWE!!!!!

WWE Smack Down:

Smack Down was decent..I admit.  Kane versus Mysterio was a great match respect to Kane and and Rey…to bad he got the beating from Cody Rhodes….bad form in my opinion.

The funniest crap of the night Edge saying good-bye to Vicki….they both sold it well.  I think all will agree SHE’LL BE BACK.  Watch you back Edge…LOL

TNA:

Sting is apparently resigning with TNA…..really Sting?  It’s a sinking ship man…GGGGEEETTTT OOOOUUUTTTT!!!! 

Bad form with the copying of the the 02-21-11 by TNA…as well as the disorganization of the show.  I am glad to see the 6 sided ring back in the show.  The thing with Bubba and Devon….WTH.  Hadn’t watched in a while but I hope it gets better.

Thoughts From Atop The Lair 02/22/2011: One Word....WOW!!

I am TMIB, The Man In Black, and I watch from atop my lair observing the wrestling world.

02-22-11....WOW.  WWE blowed us away..like old School WWE.  Many voiced disappointment about the use of 02-21-11 being used for the Undertaker's return.  Mainly because it had been done before..many times.  It was awesome to see a healthy Taker with the fire in his eyes...but with the return of The Rock..it was a little over shadowed.....but hold the phone...when HHH's music hit....the fans went nuts....now that's the WWE I remember.

Taker and HHH...professionals and top of the pecking order showed you dont have to say a word to cut a promo....not a word spoken between them....here is my translation..HHH looking at the WM logo  "YOU know what I want!"  Taker's smirk after seeing this "YOU can handle this son" Taker's then sudden throat taunt and HHH's DX crotch chop....no explanation neccessary...Thanks HHH and Taker...for a memorable RAW destined to be one people will talk about for years to come.  I think Taker vs HHH will be explosive. 

Cena...freestyling on the Rock...not really a heel turn but who knows...many my be right...it coukd happen..however, in The Rock vs Hogan both where face...so only time will tell.

Thoughts From Atop The Lair02/15/2011: FINALLY....something worth watching!!!

I am TMIB, The Man In Black, I stand high atop my lair observing the wrestling world.

FINALLY...the WWE had given us something worth watching.  The Rock  showed up on Raw and took over...the show, the ratings, and even took Michael Cole down a notch.  The WWE called in a "Cleaner" to purge Raw of the crap we have seen in the past.  What better person than The Great One to shock the wrestling world...and make a promise..he would never leave again near tears.  Thank you Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson for the production of a promo filled with EPICNESS...he wasted no time calling out The Miz...he called out Cena...could this mean a Cena heal turn like @StanGrubb stated on Twitter...time will only tell.

I was excited for this return...however...wss let down that with the light going out and the lightening on the tron...that we didn't see The Icon Sting.  And at a glance the 02/21/11 is about the Taker's return.  How disappointing...dont get me wrong.  I am a Taker fan, but WWE brings him back the same way everytime.  How about a surprise come back...how about not letting us know he is returning for a change.  Have him show up out of nowhere like Cena did.  Could the WWE be preparing for the bigest swerve/surprise in wrestling history...will Sting appear from the shadows..he is off the TNA roster.  We can only hope.

And are we soon to see Daddy's Billion Dollar girl back on Raw..has Stephanie McMahon been the GM of Raw all this time...most intersting the next few weeks will be.

Thoughts From Atop The Lair 02/05/2011: What is 02/11/11

 

   I am TMIB, The Man In Black. I sit high atop my lair observing the wrestling word. In this BLOG I discuss the happenings in the WWE and TNA.

This week we talk about the 02/11/2011 promos seen this last week in WWE.  What is it, the rumor mill is at top speed.  Lets talk about the rumors that are circulating the internet

One…is it the Undertaker?  Well could be the long black coat is there, but is that a poke at the fans for going along with what the WWE has done in the past?  Well take the promo for what its worth.  I believe it doesn’t fit the Undertaker”s style.  For one it look old west in origin.  And to be honest the coat just doesn’t match.

Two….is it someone new…some one no one knows?  It definitely possible…the WWE has done this before.  They take stuff that is familiar to the fans and intro someone new.

Three…IS IT STING…could the man called Sting be coming to the WWE?  Well the promo video is dark with lightening and raining.  The long thin black coat matches.  Now the cabin and the boots could be a throw off.  I talked to several fans on twitter and @GuitarSlinger_1 said “I really hope the 2/21/11 promos are for Sting! That would be awesome and a big boost for Wrestlemania, considering it's in Atlanta (home of WCW)! I hope its not just a promo to hype The Undertaker's return, because it's expected that he will return! Such a mysterious promo needs a big payoff! I hope WWE doesn't blow it!”  Well there you go WWE….out of the mouths of the fans.

I believe the fans need Sting in the WWE.  Just like they need Kevin Nash and Booker T.  They Know what to expect from these guys….QUALITY.  We all know every one is tired of the yaaawwnnn Nexus storyline.  Can you see the arena if Sting walked in as a WWE superstar……HISTORY.  Make it happen WWE…….WE WANT TO BE STUNG!!!!!!!!!
