Thought: Well, the anonymous RAW GM is definitely not Michael Cole…

There’s been a lot of speculation in the wrestling community that Michael Cole could be the RAW anonymous GM. Well last night’s RAW kind of proved that Michael Cole is not the RAW GM. Why?

When Edge was out in the ring giving a speech during his in ring talk show, “The Cutting Edge”, he was talking to the anonymous computer, while Michael Cole sat out in the announcer table. Later on during the show, Edge destroyed the anonymous GM computer. Guess what? Michael Cole was still sitting at the announcer table.

So this definitely shows that Cole is not the RAW GM.

RAW is getting close to revealing the GM. So we’ll know who it is soon. Who ever the RAW GM is though, is definitely a popular babyface, ’cause the GM has been doing nothing but busting on the heel wrestlers. There has been signs that the GM could also be Chris Jericho, but it’s not him either ’cause he’s leaving WWE to focus on music with Fozzy. The GM won’t be any of the current superstars performing today.

I think the GM will be a returning superstar coming back from a hiatus. It’s either going to be Triple H, Bret Hart or the Ultimate Warrior. My money is still on the Ultimate Warrior but…

… keep in mind that the RAW GM could also be no one other than Vince McMahon himself. Vince McMahon always liked to trick people like this, and this could explain Vince’s return to get his revenge on the Nexus. So don’t be surprised that it could be Vince McMahon. It could happen. Vince always liked that kind of controversy.

Thought: The NXT strikes again, but this time on Mr. McMahon…

Last Monday night’s RAW was yet again, another shocking and great episode with an excellent ending I never saw coming. At the main event was supposed to be a WWE Championship match with Sheamus vs. John Cena. Sheamus is now WWE Champion. Vince McMahon was special guest referee for that match. Toward the middle of the match, yes, you guess it, the NXT guys pictured above, strikes again. They beat up both John Cena and Sheamus. Totally ignoring Vince McMahon at first. As the NXT guys entered the ring, Vince entered too.

Vince was looking impressed with a huge smile on his face, being the usual heel owner and alll. Vince was praising the NXT guys for what they did to John Cena. We at first, all thought Vince McMahon was going to join forces with the NXT group which looked like was going to happen. Instead, the NXT guys surrounded McMahon with angry looks on their faces. That’s a bad sign that something is about to happen to Mr. McMahon. Yep, you guess it, the NXT guys started beating the hell out of Mr. McMahon.

Yes, wrestling is fake and scripted, I always knew it, I just watch it for the entertainment. That’s pretty much it. I enjoy the storylines, how they play out the matches and the stars are great performers on the mic overall. It’s just that I always had a passion and respected the wrestling industry too much. Gotta give respect to Mr. McMahon for his performance last night ’cause he had quite a lot of major bumps and gotten really physical the other night at age 64. McMahon is not that old, believe it or not. He’s still young.

Look like the WWE is trying a “NXT vs. WWE” storyline. Lets hope they do a good job with this one ’cause I remember WWE did, “WCW vs. WWE” years back but that angle failed miserably, started off real good but turned out lame. I think what destroyed the “WCW vs. WWE” angle was when Hulk Hogan returned as a heel nWo guy and then he was forced to turn babyface due to the crowd reaction. Now, “NXT vs. WWE” is something similar. Since “NXT Season 2” is on right now, look like the NXT Season 1 guys want to get more members to the group to make it bigger.

There is an anonymous RAW GM. A RAW GM has already been decided but WWE is keeping it secret for now. Who do I think the new RAW GM is? A lot of people think it’s Daniel Bryan (former NXT guy who’s been released from WWE, recently signed back due to fanbase popularity) and some people think it’s Jim Ross, former WWE announcer. While those could be a possibility, those weren’t the guys that I had in mind.

Who was the first name that came to my mind when an anonymous RAW GM came up? No one other than, “The Rock”, Dwayne Johnson. Remember, the Rock has expressed interest in returning to the WWE this summer. He said he wanted to perform and not wrestle. He was interested in a GM role. So I’m thinking the new GM is the Rock. Have to be. If it’s not the Rock, then Shawn Michaels HBK would be my second choice. HBK maybe done with wrestling but maybe not the performing part of it?

RAW is getting better. If they keep up the good work, it’ll feel like the 90’s attitude era all over again. Wade Barrett (real name: Stu Bennett) is a great performer. I think he’s going to be a big main eventer very quickly.

Thought: RAW is getting so much better!

Last night’s RAW was a really good episode! I actually thought the show was really well written and the wrestlers performed great! The matches are actually getting better too! Probably because the return of Bret Hart and Wrestlemania is up ahead is making it better. RAW usually gets better around Wrestlemania time.

The guest host for last night’s RAW was iconic NASCAR driver, Carl Edwards. I was expecting him to be a boring host. He actually did a good job. I liked him hosting last night. WWE actually had Carl on the show pretty much throughout the episode.

The storyline with Shawn Michaels HBK wanting to fight the Undertaker at Wrestlemania is really good stuff. Shawn keeps losing Wrestlemania opportunitties, now he lost the Unified tag belts with Triple H. So in a storyline, Shawn stormed off the set and said his career is over. He’s not really retiring I don’t believe, it’s just a storyline thing, possibly to set HBK up with a certain match at Wrestlemania.

Bret Hart was on RAW again last night. He appeared at the very end of the show attacking Vince McMahon from behind after Vince pulling a speech that he said, “Yes” he will wrestle Bret Hart at Wrestlemania for a match. After Vince left the ring with security gaurds, Bret started wrecking everything around the RAW sets. Tearing down the announcer table in a rage and walking back up by the ramp, knocking down speaker equipment with sparks flying in the air. When Bret knocked down a piece of equipment off a table, the thing hit his leg and he almost fell to the ground. That part wasn’t part of a storyline. It was a mistake and accident. Not sure how good of a wrestler he is after seeing that.

I’m getting excited for Wrestlemania. Next WWE PPV is the “Elimination Chamber” ppv, the one before Wrestlemania. Not sure if I’ll watch it or not, but I’m definitely watching “Wrestlemania” this year like I do every year.

Vince vs. Bret sounds exciting. I’m looking forward to seeing Bret in action again. I’m pretty sure Vince won’t be alone at Wrestlemania as he will probably get some help from his heel wrestler buddies such as Dave Batista or maybe even Shane McMahon will do a run in.

See the end of last night’s RAW in the video below and notice Bret almost hurt himself as he’s knocking down equipment on the RAW set.

BREAKING NEWS: Bret the “Hitman” Hart is finally open and interested in returning to WWE!!!!!

Wrestling fans have been dying for a Bret “The Hitman” Hart return to the WWE for many years, well, you can believe that our wishes could be coming true. Bret is finally interested and open to the possibilities of returning to the WWE.

Wrestling fans know about the Montreal screwjob with Shawn Michaels over the WWE Championship, which is the reason Bret never wanted back in WWE. Bret and Vince never got along, it may look that they are in good terms.

Bret hasn’t signed a deal to return to WWE yet, but he has been in negotiations with Vince and the WWE about it. My guess is that Bret will return to WWE to finish his feud with Shawn Michaels? Probably. I don’t see any other reason.

More on it here:

If Bret Hart returns in the future, I’ll definitely start watching WWE again.

I guess the reason I stopped watching WWE ’cause I don’t like how they’re having celebrities hosting RAW everyweek. I’m waiting for the “celebrity guest host” thing on RAW to get over with.

Cool Video: Triple H celebrates his 40th birthday with RAW superstars last night…birthday cake fight!!!

The WWE RAW superstars celebrated Triple H’s 40th birthday last night on RAW. Every superstar on the RAW roster were out on the ring including Vince McMahon. The superstars get out of character to celebrate the birthday with Triple H.

Watch this…they celebrate by getting into a cake fight. It’s hilarious to watch. I didn’t watch RAW last night since I don’t watch it too much anymore, but I thought this was hilarious.

Vince and Trips go at it.

Enjoy the laughs!

BREAKING NEWS: Chris Jericho will not face charges against Victoria wrestling fans…

Everyone remembers the controversial youtube videos where Chris Jericho was caught getting into fights with young WWE fans outside of an arena in Victoria, B.C. after a RAW house show.

Chris Jericho, the profesional wrestler was accused of assault and starting the fight by calling an asian fan a bunch of racist names, and Chris was confronted by a bunch of angry WWE fans later. The videos showed Chris being angry at security, accusing them of not doing their jobs, while Chris is being assaulted by WWE fans and he attacked the fans in return for self defense. This incident happened after Chris was leaving the RAW house show for the evening.

Chris Jericho will not be charged with anything due to no evidence being proved. Even the videos in youtube couldn’t prove his guilt. The Victoria police already brought Jericho into questioning, not arrest him, but just questioning him.

Chris Jericho, is set to wrestle a match at Wrestlemania 25 against Roddy Piper, Ricky Steamboat, and Jimmy Snuka with Ric Flair in their corner. Mickey Rourke will be watching at ringside, and Rourke will somehow be in action too. Whether Rourke will help the Legends win and pound the hell out of Jericho or Rourke teams up with Jericho either way. Rourke will be there. Wrestlemania takes place on April 5th.

The Canadian Press reports:

Jericho catches a lucky break on this one. Now that I think about it, Jericho never did anything wrong. He was just a guy leaving a WWE show for the night and fans just wouldn’t let him leave. Stupid kids that obsess with wrestlers. As long as people are hating on Jericho for real, then he’s doing a great job being a heel character in the WWE. That’s the name of the game with the wrestling business folks. WWE doesn’t care if people hate on these wrestlers ’cause that’s what they are supposed to do. 🙂

WWE RAW SPOILERS: Oh my, did Jericho just hint that Mickey Rourke will be at ‘Mania 25?

Major RAW spoiler regarding the storyline with Mickey Rourke vs. Chris Jericho….scroll below….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, look like it’s going to be Jericho vs. Roddy Piper/ Ricky Steamboat/ Jimmy Snuka @ ‘Mania 25 w/ Ric Flair possibly in the corner. As Jericho challenged the match at ‘Mania on RAW tonight, he asked Mickey Rourke to attend ‘Mania by sitting at the front row.

My belief, that WWE privately asked Rourke to be at Wrestlemania 25 to attend the event by sitting in the front row to watch the Jericho vs. The Legends match, then Mickey Rourke joins in on the match by costing Jericho to lose it. Rourke to be part of the action at ‘Mania 25?

Who knows. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
