WWE Into the Real

It was Memorial Day, May 25, and WWE’s Monday Night RAW was supposed to be emanating from the Pepsi Center in Denver. Instead the show took place in the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers fourth game of the Western Conference Finals fell on the same night as the scheduled RAW and E. Stan Kroenke, the Pepsi Center owner, had a mess on his hands. He sided with the NBA and the Nuggets and said the WWE would not be having a show in the arena that night.

So this is the end of the world for WWE President Vince McMahon and RAW right? No not in the least. The double booking was a blessing actually. The WWE gained exposure on mainstream shows on major networks, especially ESPN. Popular shows like PTI and Around the Horn discussed the matter, and the debate was even of Sportscenter. Some of the analysts even sided with the WWE.

Summer means free PPV’s

When I’m home and a WWE PPV is going on there is only one place to go. That place is Stadium Grille. When going there you get good food and the ever popular Blue Drank plus you get to watch the paperview. Last night I took advantage of this and will recap my night.

7:45: I arrived at Stadium Grille and grabbed a seat. The place wasn’t to busy. I assumed this because IMO the card for the paperview wasn’t that strong. I’m however go regardless because I enjoy the food and the NBA game was also on tv next to the paperview.

8:00: PPV is set to kick off WWE Judgement Day. The first match is Umaga vs C.M. Punk. It last 11:55 match length. The finish comes when, Punk went for the GTS, but couldn’t lift his opponent. Umaga caught Punk with a kick and then followed up by slamming his backside into Punk’s head in the corner. Umaga used the Samoan Spike and scored the 1-2-3 on Punk. Grisham put over Umaga’s performance as “the most impressive return you’ll see.”
I text Mark the results and he responds with Punk got bulldozed. Essential thats what it was Umaga dominated most of the match builds him up to be strong contender but at expense of C.M Punk aka Mr. Money in the Bank.
