Thoughts From Atop The Lair 04/09/2011

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

We are six days removed from the WM 27.  I believe the show was overall a good show.  The order of the matches was confusing for most fans I've talked to however.

That's the topic this issue along with some grab bag stuff.  Most fans wondered why the United States Championship was a dark match.  Well the WWE adressed this personally.

I was suprised to see the World Title open the show.  I feel that it could be a way to get the crowd going.  I'm not into Del Rio but he and Edge did a great job and it was good to see Edge and Christian together again...a con-chairto to the car would have been awesome...LMAO.

Ok Cody vs Rey...first things first, CODY..if you have tiny chicken legs, dont wear a big black coat and hood.Rey as usual came out like he normally does.  The match was decent, except for Cole running his mouth about the mask...does he ever shut up.  Didn't like the outcome but thought the match held the fans attention.

Ok what was the point of the eight man tag match...one word...BIG SHOW DOMINATION.  Moving on...LOL.

Orton vs C M Punk...very good match.These guys brought it to the ring...and with Orton beating CM Punk lets hope nexus is dead.  It has run it's course.  Some times I wonder if the NXT show wasn't created just for the Nexus storyline...hmmm...makes you wonder.

Ok...King vs Dick..oops I mean Cole.  Hey Cole did you know you look like a penis with feet...ooops sorry it just poped out there.  This match was good until...we let me ask this wasn't this a ppv...so why the hell was the Raw GM thing even there...you didn't see Teddy Long..(at least on camera.) interfering.  And Cole pushed Stone Cold, put his hands on the ref...only then did he push Cole...come on GM...*smh*.  Ok got to mention my girl @rebelroselover and qoute her reference to Officer and a Gentlemen.  Cole being carried out by Swagger...LMAO.

Taker vs HHH....one word WOW.  The match speaks for it's self.  Was suprised about the direct head shot.  I agree I think its bullshit about the fines to Taker and HHH.

Good to see Trish Stratus..and shocked at Snooki's athletisism.  Think this match being later than the Taker and HHH match...was Stupid.

Cena vs Miz with the Rock was ok but confusing.  Overall they did a good job.

That's it for this issue...thanks

Thoughts From Atop The Lair 04/12/2011: Living on the EDGE

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

Last night a bright light that has shined in the WWE was dimmed as Adam "Edge" Copeland was forced to retire.  I say dimmed only because The Rated R Superstar may not compete in the ring but we all know he will continue to give the WWE an EDGE.

WWE knows Edge has something to offer.  Look at Arn Anderson...who quit due to simular problems.  He hasn't wrestled in 20 years but...if you where to walk back stage he would be there...making a difference.  So we know Edge will always be in the WWE...John Cena said it best.."the WWE isn't in an office in Bridgeport, Ct, but it in the hearts and minds of the fans"  so Edge will always be in the WWE.  He will find his place to add his input.

I remember during the time of The Brood when Christian was booked as Edge's brother, the days of appearing from out of the crowd and the days of the Downward Spiral.  I remember the days of Edge and Chistian and when Conchairto's were around every corner.

I remember a time when the RKO was RATED R and the only Voices in Randy's ear was those from the Edge.

I remember a time of Lita and sexual parties at center ring, I remember times with Vickie with EXCUSE ME shouted aloud.

The memories go on and will be talked about from now on.  Edge sends a message to us all..wrestler are human and injuries take place.  Your legacy is intact champ..thank you for everything.

Thanks

TMIB
