    Does anyone else read these while watching Raw? It comes up about two hours before Raw shows in Australia, so that’s normally the way I do it.

      I’ve done it once or twice when I couldn’t stay up to watch Raw live. It’s pretty fun! The only downside being you sometimes read too far and spoil a surprise for yourself.

    B, you really gotta stop trying not to be negative with the column if the show makes you feel negative. It happens. Doesn’t mean you’re not a fan. It means WWE gave you the cat poop to eat and is trying to make you eat the cat poop when all you want is a steak. You trying not to be negative is like Ron Burgundy taking a second bite of the cat poop if you feel me, dawg.

      I know, but I also know myself, and that if I let myself get too negative I’ll just start being negative about everything for comedy.

      I thought B Stro was the perfect amount of negative in this B&W.

    So….making fun of JR’s condition = bad. Making fun of Cesaro carrying a purse around = bad. But making fun of a man’s for-real heart attack is A-ok? Maybe it’s just me.

      I explained it pretty thoroughly dude, I don’t know what to tell you. If good guys do it, it’s bad. If bad guys do it and get comeuppance for it, even eventually, it’s not. It’s not rocket science. Fiction should always allow for cruel people doing cruel and even offensive things. The problem arises when those people are glorified for being that way.

      quick examples:

      Vince made fun of JR’s condition for laughs, and JR can never and will never defend himself or fight back. That = bad.

      Lawler made fun of Cesaro’s purse because men aren’t supposed to carry purses, and Lawler, like the audience, thinks that makes you gay, and that gay = bad. That = bad.

      Punk made fun of Lawler’s heart attack because he’s an asshole, everyone called him on it, he got choked out to end the show and is facing two guys who can kill him on Sunday. That = not so bad

      Is Vince McMahon the character truly a good guy though? I mean, I’m trying to follow along here.

      He’s a character without consequence. In the modern WWE Universe, he’s a guy people cheer and want to see. He’s raging against heels like Punk and bending over backwards for faces like Cena. So yeah.

      I thought Brandon explained it pretty well but if you’re encouraging bad behavior, bad. If you’re discouraging bad behavior, good. Lawler making fun of Caesaro for carrying a purse because purse = feminine and man being feminine = gay and gay = bad is bad. Punk making fun of Lawler and then getting punched in the mouth by Lawler? Good.

      We should have a lengthy conversation about it sometime. I still watch it pretty regularly, and when I say goodbye on the phone there is a 40% chance I’ll do the Dave Seville on tape “bye BYE!”

    I think Teddy has one of those iron clad Big show contracts where he gets the right to make Tag Team matches for the rest of his life. Even if he’s the janitor or working for TNA he still gets to say “hole on a minute” and everyone has to do what he says.

      I hear WWE is almost ready to launch Swagger 2.0 I would plotz if he came out in a space suit.

      Jack Swagger needs to become aware of this and steal it as a gimmick. In return, everytime he’s on NXT or that new show on ION getting wins over jobbers in main events, he can wear a withleather t-shirt.

      I will make it my mission to tweet every Jack Swagger of Mars poster and the movie trailer to him, (@RealJackSwagger), until he takes notice.

      I think everyone deserves a top 10 comment for last night, except for you Tobogganing Bear… you know what you did.
