Hello everyone! I hope everyone has had a great week. The main highlight of this blog is the disappointment episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. There have been bad episodes in the past, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. However, this was completely ridiculous. Here's my take.
WWE
This past Monday on Raw was the episode where the 55 WWE talents walked out on WWE COO Triple H. It started with ring announcers, commentary team, and the locker room absent. Triple H showed up and said that Raw will continue despite the "walk out". John Cena, Sheamus, and CM Punk showed up and said that they will continue to work so the 1st match was John Cena vs Sheamus with Triple H as referee and CM Punk on commentary. I thought this was a little innovative, and very original. Of course, this was short lived as WWE Chairman Vince McMahon showed up and told Triple H that he no longer has booking power over Raw and that a "Interim" GM would take control. The Raw GM turned out to be John Laurinitis. Afterwards, Raw went back to status quo, and the one thing that made me shut off the television was when Laurinitis fired Jim Ross from commentary because he "simply didn't like him". WWE should know that Jim Ross=ratings. No Jim Ross= ratings go down (albeit with a few exceptions). After that, I didn't bother watching the rest of Raw.
My rant on the WWE is finished for now. It's time to shift gears to the positives.
ROH
This past episode of Ring of Honor Wrestling had the main event of ROH World Champion Davey Richards vs Roderick Strong for the ROH World Title. It was another great episode that ROH is producing as of recent. Overall, the opening match between Tomasso Ciampa (pronounced cham-pa) and Andy Ridge and the main event said above was really good. At the end, Richards retained his title via submission. Here's a preview of the next episode:
Also posted is a recent ROH Video Wire to keep everyone in the loop:
MMA
Tonight, M-1 Challenge 27 will take place from Phoenix, AZ and will air on Showtime. The main event of the card is Kenny Garner vs Maxim Grishin. The following night, Bellator 54 will emanate from Atlantic City, NJ and features Bellator Bantamweight Champion Zach Makovsky fighting in a non-title bout and the semifinals of the Middleweight Tournament.
MLB
In the latest series on the Road to World Series, the ALDS is currently on the wire as Texas leads 3-2, and NLCS is tied between Brewers and Cardinals. NLCS Game 5 will take place tonight at 8 PM, while Game 6 of the ALCS will take place tomorrow night.
College Football
This weekend in College Football, Oklahoma will face Kansas in a primetime game scheduled at 9:30 PM on ESPN 2. Also, Rutgers will face against Navy which will air on ESPN 3 in select areas, and last but not least, Kean will head to Brockport to face against The College of Brockport.
NFL
This week, the New York Giants will be coming home to CBS to host the Buffalo Bills in a Super Bowl rematch. If you read "coming home to CBS", this is no error as you read it correct. Believe it or not, CBS was the home of the NFC Conference for several years before losing rights to FOX Sports. Giants games used to air on CBS, so this is a return home to it's original network. Here's proof that NFC was on CBS:
The following night, the New York Jets will host the Miami Dolphins on ESPN Monday Night Football.
That is all I have to say for now. Have a good weekend!
