I say almost because when things like John Cena AND Randy Orton getting drafted to Smackdown happen, I feel as glorious and excited as I am when I get to open my Christmas presents and one of them turns out to be an Indiana Jones hat (true story). HOWEVER, it is the complete opposite when John Cena gets drafted back to RAW at the end of the episode. Really, WWE? Must you tease me like this? It's like you're taking away my Indiana Jones moment!
Overall, the draft seemed really exciting at the time, but now I'm getting a little cranky about it. I was pleased that the Big Show and Rey Mysterio were drafted to RAW (I am itching to see a Rey Mysterio/Sin Cara battle take place - but now that won't happen because they drafted Sin Cara to Smackdown, which seems unfair. He looks so promising!), but was really bummed that Mark Henry was drafted to Smackdown instead of RAW. And I have no interest in Alberto Del Rio at all, much less dumb Jack Swagger. Seriously, someone is going to have to make sure he and Dolph Ziggler wear different colored shirts so that everyone can tell them apart (JUST KIDDING! Dolph got that weird haircut. Maybe they made him cut his hair in anticipation of bringing his doppelganger to RAW?!).
I am really upset that Kane and the Undertaker are still on Smackdown. ALL I WANT IS TO BRING THEM BACK TO RAW. If the Undertaker retires and he is still on Smackdown, I will never forgive you, Vince McMahon.
Also, BRING ME CHRISTIAN!!! I MISS THE PEEP SHOW.

I miss the belly button tattoo.
Dudes. When you Google Mason Ryan (don't judge me for Googling wrestlers! I'm a curious girl!), some of the automatic drop down option thingers are "Mason Ryan Batista", "Mason Ryan Batista's Brother", "Mason Ryan looks like Batista", and my personal favorite "is Mason Ryan really Batista?". This makes me laugh really hard, as I was just joking about that earlier. Mason Ryan is a creepy rip off of Batista, but he doesn't even have a weird belly button tattoo to make fun of. He's just all angry and large and creepy and has the psycho face. Seriously, I never thought I would fear for Randy Orton, but last night's RAW brought me to new levels of concern for oily Randy Orton's welfare. I mean, I think that gang ups are really obnoxious on either front (I even frowned upon them when Evolution took part in them), but Randy Orton looked like a sad sack of tattooed meat that had melted due to awkward weather conditions. And then all of New Nexus (new Nexus, old Nexus - in any form, all Nexus is Bad Nexus in my opinion) took on the creepy crazy face! New Batista, CM Punk! Jeez dudes. Jeez.

THIS POST IS RATED R.
Hi. I am back from vacation. It was awesome, in case you were wondering. It was still awesome even if you weren't wondering. Being in Atlanta for the RAW following Wrestlemania was epic on so many levels that I can't even explain it. You will just have to go and see if the puddle of pee is still underneath my seat from where I constantly wet my pants that night. Triple H, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and a main event announcement for WM28 - yes please! The only bummer was that the Undertaker wasn't there and Michael Cole was. I wanted my friend Alexa to witness the Taker's intro - because it is the creepiest thing ever. Also, I want him to be OK. I was extremely relieved that Triple H didn't retire. Though he was noticeably absent from RAW last night and then EDGE retired! So, in the end, this still kind of sucks. I love Edge. I love Christian. I miss the Peep Show. I am getting off track.
Getting into the Philips Arena was an experience unto itself. Imagine trying to cram thousands of sweaty, over excited wrestling fans into four entrances of a building. Added to our trouble was the fact that we had to find the box office and the Philips Arena is the CNN building, so 78% of my attention was semi-devoted to spotting Anderson Cooper and trying to count how many WE HEART TED TURNER signs exist in the city of Atlanta itself (note: I am not hating, as I am a Braves fan. I just think it's mildly amusing how prominent he is in the city). I was annoyed when the Miz interrupted Stone Cold, as that is so rude. I was less than impressed with the Tough Enough crew (which, admittedly, I haven't had a chance to watch yet, so I'm still behind on whether or not they're actually worth anything). The usual chaos ensued when Michael Cole opened his mouth. The Rock was awesome. There was no dark match though, which was disappointing but understandable.
Last night's RAW was sort of a bummer. Edge retired and R Truth is somehow a number one contender? Plus John Cena get away from the Championship Belt for five minutes, jeez. It's nice that they're trying to bring somebody new into the mix, but neither John Morrison nor R Truth are really that entertaining. At least Dolph Ziggler has that hilarious haircut. The only real highlight for me (other than JR being on, Lawler pinning Jack Swagger - seriously! did you see his face? PRICELESS.) was the introduction of team APPLE. I was very happy to see Mark Henry, who always entertains me, and Santino! I hope that they make APPLE a main storyline. I could use some comedy in my wrestling life. The Rock probably won't be up in the wrestling grill anymore and neither will Stone Cold. Only time will tell about Triple H.
On the very sad note, I really love and appreciate Edge. As a wrestling fan, he was the best heel that a girl could ask for. He both enraged and excited me since I was a little girl, drooling over his strob light entrance, long hair, and tight pants. He will be sorely missed. And I'm going to watch my Edge DVDs tonight. and maybe cry into my beer a little. Cheers to the Rated R Superstar.

Wrestlemania Follow Up
Amber is on Vacation this week, and I am in Deadline City. So this will be very brief.
There were many tears when Triple H lost to The Undertaker. I was also worried when Taker didn't get back up.
To say we were relieved that Triple H did NOT retire would be the understatement of the century. I will stop referring to us as a unit now.
When Triple H inducted Shawn Michaels into the HOF, it was the best thing ever. Then when Shawn ended his speech with, "And if you're not down with that, suck it," my heart swelled with joy.
A more extensive and less dumb review will happen soon.

WM27 predictions/hopes/fears/beers
I am currently high on the buzz of finally purchasing my wrestling tickets for Monday Night RAW the night after Wrestlemania. I'm going to do my best not to read/hear anything that happens until I get there and find out IN PERSON. But, as we all know, I am impatient and will want to know everything as soon as it happens. Particularly where Triple H is concerned. But I digress. On to the WM27 lineup...
I agree with Mel on many of these matches. I want Edge to win (not only because I love him & Christian, but because Alberto Del Rio irritates the crap out of me. YOU CANNOT BE EDDIE GUERRERO, dude! ), I think Snooki needs to butt out of the WWE and wallow back to the Jersey Shore, Daniel Bryan vaguely peaks my interest (while Sheamus still creeps me out), obviously I want Kane and the Big Show to win - along with Santino! He makes me laugh and is generally a good sport.
I don't even need to comment on Triple H/Undertaker. I will be writing an entire post eventually dedicated to my love for Triple H. But that doesn't mean I don't love the Taker. He's my 4th favorite wrestler of all time. (Top Five: Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold, The Undertaker, Ken Shamrock - who is one of the only UFC cross overs that I enjoy). Either way, this match will mean the end of an important era for Mel and I. I want Triple H to win because I don't want him to retire from wrestling, which is something that has been floating around the rumor mill since last June. But I don't want the Undertaker to leave, either. Rock, me, hard place.
As for the Miz and John Cena, I am relatively unimpressed with John Cena. I like that he is a good person in real life, and sometimes he is amusing as a character on RAW. But, overall, I find him to be overrated and over appreciated, while wrestlers that I feel are more deserving of WWE Championship title shots (Edge, Christian, Kane, Big Show, etc) go on with less important story lines. I get that Cena has a big draw because he appeals to many different demographics (good Lord, do the ladies love him), and he is attractive and can wrestle well. So I will cheer for him to win. However, it isn't because I like him as much as it's that I hate the Miz and hope his eyebrows fall off. I am going to get THIS AIN'T THE REAL WORLD tattooed on my forehead. Or on The Miz's forehead. I don't think the Miz deserves the title because he has rarely, if ever, accomplished anything in the ring by himself. He cheats, he lies, he says he's awesome when he isn't! At least Cena is an honest wrestler that can pull his own weight.
Randy Orton vs CM Punk... During the past few weeks, I have been delighted by this match up, because I can't stand either of these wrestlers, and I enjoy seeing either one of them get the crap kicked out of them. Randy Orton was tolerable when he was in Evolution, and that was only because he was rolling with my boys Triple H and Ric Flair (Batista, while sometimes interesting to watch, will never be my boy because of his Godsmack belly button tattoo). Since then, he has targeted pretty much every single wrestler that I love. He's a self important douchebag that thinks because he's a third generation wrestler, he is more deserving of title shots and main events than wrestlers who weren't born into the business and had to work their way to the top. Also, his tattoos are dumb and he applies too much oil before he comes out to wrestle. No one needs to be that oily and creepy, Randy. No one.
However, my disdain for CM Punk surpasses that of my disdain for Randy Orton (seriously, it's surprising, but true). CM Punk is a wrestler that I was sort of on the fence about for a long time. He wasn't really that apparent in my wrestling life, as he wasn't a major figure (or any figure) on RAW for a long time. Sure, he'd pop up every now and again (as Smackdown and ECW wrestlers tend to do), but overall he was off my radar. And then he became a nuisance. He is straight edge, he had the Jesus beard and hair that he refused to cut (seriously, if I have to endure another storyline about whether or not someone will cut their hair, I'MA SCREAM), and was just generally a pompous jerk that is disrespectful to anyone with a different lifestyle than him. And though he is from Chicago, and some may feel that I should have hometown pride - I don't. He has a Pepsi tattoo. HE CHALLENGED STONE COLD TO A FIGHT ON TWITTER. He told me to shut up once at a wrestling event (this was a high point in my wrestling fandom and a low point in his decision making life. Obviously once you engage a drunk wrestling fan, they never quit. Suck it, Punk!). I crack open a nice cold one every time Punk appears on my television screen in his douchebag honor. He is also a giant cheater that really can't do anything on his own. There have been other heel ringleaders that notoriously had their backup take care of their business, but they had earned their licks in the business. Punk has not proven to me that he can take care of himself. He has a smart mouth, a judgemental attitude, and a stupid finishing move. I hope Orton kicks that dumb beard off his face!
