Um, so I looked at the TLC card & I guess they're re-naming it Tables, Ladders, Chairs....and Stairs now?
Apparently Big Show & Rowan will fight at the TLCS PPV...in a Stairs match.
So dumb.

I would be fine with Ryback and Big Show falling down the stairs....any set of stairs and then never returning.

David Ferrier, who is best known for his appearances in the early 1990s in the World Wrestling Federation as one-half of the Heavenly Bodies as "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Ray, has passed away. PWInsider.com has confirmed that Ferrier died Saturday night following what is believed to have been a heart attack. He was 52-years-old.
Ferrier began his career in 1985 for Florida Championship Wrestling, where he adopted the name Jimmy Backlund. He joined Smoky Mountain Wrestling in the early 1990s, where he replaced Stan Lane as one half of the Heavenly Bodies with Tom Prichard. The Heavenly Bodies were managed by James E. Cornette, and won the SMW Tag Team Championship on three occasions. During this time with he was branded with the "Gigolo" moniker. While Del Ray was an agile and able wrestler, he had a slightly pudgy midsection that shook, or "jiggled" when he did a taunting dance.
Alongside Cornette, the Heavenly Bodies debuted in the World Wrestling Federation in the summer of 1993, and would challenge the Steiner Brothers for the World Tag Team Championship—they were defeated. At the 1993 Survivor Series in the Boston Garden, the Heavenly Bodies faced The Rock 'n' Roll Express for the SMW Tag Team Championship. It was the first time where a championship recognized by another organization was defended on the show.
The Heavenly Bodies were generally used as a heel tag team for opening matches, where they would often put over babyface tandems. The duo was split in August 1995 after Del Ray was released from his contract. It was rumored at the time that an incident with a fan at a hotel led to his dismissal.
Del Ray soon made a few appearances for Extreme Championship Wrestling alongside Prichard and wound up in World Championship Wrestling in October 1996 under the name Jimmy Graffiti. He made a few appearances on WCW Monday Nitro and participated in the three-ring, sixty-man "World War 3" battle royal before a knee injury forced him to retire the following year.
After retiring, he worked as an instructor for Steve Keirn's Florida professional wrestling school and would occasionally appear at area independent shows to manage a new Heavenly Bodies tag team. He had moved on from the wrestling industry by the early 2000s and was running a hardwood flooring company in Tampa, Florida.

I was just reading that Ryback is on the shit list for being awful in the ring and that Vince is totally uninterested in the New Day already.

As soon as commentators described them as "a lot of fun" I lost all interest.

That was awful as was the entrance. Just stick to the video promos. Never appear.

It's a shame too, because we all know Kofi is one of the best athletes on the roster, has been for years. He's been what Cesaro is now for the heels, puts on great matches consistently, but won't amount to much else. Though Kofi has at least had a few pushes against top guys. Not many though. Woods has gotten absolutely no chance since getting called up. Saddle him with Truth, who hasn't been relevant in 3 years, Rusev squashes them & he immediately is forgotten about. Big E just didn't really get over all that much as a face. I thought his role as a heater was great with him, AJ & Ziggler.
When/If/Praying a heel turn comes about, have Big E be the outside muscle, Kofi be the flyer/workhorse & Woods be the motormouth who can hide behind Big E. something new, anything, fuck!
I ramble/repeat myself for some strange reason when it comes to these 3. Maybe because I'm a fan of Woods & Kofi and I'm tired of them getting stuck with shit.

^^ That's right on the money.
And maybe that was the original plan.
I'd bet Vince changed it on the fly.
Again.

Wow. Apparently this is the WWE Charlotte house show. Cena is the headliner.

School night. Cena's nation of 12 year would have preferred a day show.

Ric Flair, Bob Backlund, the New Age Outlaws, Scotty 2 Hotty, Rikishi, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, Ted DiBiase, Mike Rotundo, Booker T, Mean Gene Okerlund, and Diamond Dallas Page are advertised for next weeks Raw Old School.
Maybe they'll surprise us with Sgt Slaughter too. How cool would that be?

That is seriously one of the worst lists ever. Hot Rod, Million Dollar Man and Mene Gene are cool but they are nothing new. DDP is cool because of his Yoga. The rest can and probably do suck a dick.

The worst part is that you can already hear Michael Cole's fake ass laugh each time every one of them come out there.

Last one was good at the end due to Jakes return & putting Damien on Ambrose, who was marking out the whole time.
Too Cool, Piper, Booker, DDP, Backlund, Slaughter, Flair, Outlaws, Mean Gene all were on the last one. I'm not counting Arn Anderson, IRS, since they're agents. But for fuck sake, this is virtually a rerun from January.

I hope Brock Lesnar comes out and punks them all again.
I really wish they gave a fuck about putting out a decent product.
After this they'll have their holiday shows with the xmas theme and Mark Henry will beat Jack Swagger as Santa and zero fucks will be given.
I think I'll probably skip Raw tonight and just play some Grand Theft Auto instead.

WrestleZone reports that during Raw tonight, local ads in Memphis Tennesee were promoting February’s PPV there as WWE Fast Lane. Fast Lane replaces the Elimination Chamber PPV that traditionally took place between the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania over the last several years.
Tickets for Fast Lane go on sale this Saturday with an online pre-sale this week.

Fast Lane.....so in each match they are going to run around the ring counter clockwise.....take each other out and then someone wins?? Sounds like it could legitimately be a vince idea.
