20140331-144321.jpg

Here’s my recap of this weeks episode of total Divas. I apologize for the cut off my phone is being stupid. What I wanted to say was Natalya calling summer a hooker was a little out of line and she deserved that slap but just not on her own property. Hope you enjoy my video

and I will catch you guys later for the
Raw post show with my buddy Ed at 8:30PST/11:30EST
I won’t be doing live tweeting for raw tonight because I have to conserve my battery for the post show. Hope you understand.

RAW Preview

raw-header 750

 

The last RAW before WrestleMania XXX.

Brock Lesnar fell for the old empty-casket trick last week. When Lesnar gets in the ring with The Undertaker at WrestleMania, he’ll let his fist do all the work for him – all he has to do is survive The Deadman’s final message. What does The Phenom have in store?

Bray Wyatt & his Wyatt Family disgraced John Cena by stringing him up in the ropes last week on RAW & slapping a sheep mask on him. Can Cena find his footing & rally, or is Bray irreparably in his head?

Is Batista losing his cool? The WWE Universe turned against him in droves & a tough match with Sheamus on SmackDown exposed Batista’s frustration. With Daniel Bryan lurking & Triple H gaining steam in his own bid to enter the WWE World Heavyweight Title Match, can The Animal maintain his momentum & fulfill his promise to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion?

The Shield is set to face Kane & The New Age Outlaws at WrestleMania. The Hounds of Justice has stuck through thick & thin & looks stronger than ever. Can The Shield power their way to their second consecutive WrestleMania victory?

Daniel Bryan wasn’t at RAW last week thanks to injuries from Triple H’s brutal attack, but don’t expect Bryan to sit out this week’s RAW. What final hurdle does Triple H have in store for the thorn in his side that is Daniel Bryan?

WWE Hypes Daniel Bryan Push To WrestleMania Win With New Video

WWE has posted a entertaining video told in animated story fashion. The video lasts 2min+ which gives focus to the reality that the fans ultimately forced WWE to push Daniel Bryan as the top superstar. As we have noted in the past few weeks, the WWE is looking to create a lasting WrestleMania moment worthy of the 30th anniversary. To have the entire crowd chanting “yes” as WrestleMania comes to a close with Daniel Bryan finally on top with the championship. Due to the huge number the WWE is expecting for this year’s event some within the company are hoping for a record of the largest “yes” chant.

The video doesn’t shy away from the truthful elements that surround the Daniel Bryan saga. While doing a decent job of staying within storyline.

Magnus said the only time Abyss is in the ring is when he is in the ring. MVP talked about being handcuffed to Abyss last week & getting to experience Abyss’s violence. MVP said he isn’t going to fire Abyss or is afraid of him but if Abyss lays his hands on him like that again he will show Abyss another side of him, MVP the most viscous predator. MVP asked Abyss if he wants something great. Magnus said he doesn’t like where MVP is going with this. MVP asked Abyss if he would like a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. Magnus said MVP can’t do that. MVP said Magnus said that Abyss can only be in the ring when he is & that Magnus will be standing right next to him & that maybe Magnus will get a Black Hole Slam. MVP said with the World Title on the line we will find out where Abyss’s loyalty lies. MVP said there is somebody else he can’t forget about & said next week Magnus will defend his World title against Abyss & Samoa Joe in a 3-Way Dance. Samoa Joe came to the ring & was upset because he wants a fair shot at the Title. MVP said Magnus wont be able to control Abyss with the World title on the line.

MVP said EY hasn’t earned it yet. EY said MVP is going to walk around her preaching Motivate, Validate & Participate. EY said Motivate – MVP has ben here 10 minutes, he’s been here 10 years. EY said Validate – he has had X-Division titles, TV titles. Global titles, Tag Titles & even Knockout Tag Title. EY said Participate – every crazy idea TNA has saddled on him he ran with the ball & knocked it out of the park & that some say he is the most entertaining wrestler in the world. EY said he is a world class pro wrestler & he will get what he deserves. Joe said EY isn’t at the head of the line & MVP hasn’t given him his one fair shot at the title & until he gets what he wants EY gets nothing. MVP said EY validated his case & added him to the World Title match next week. Joe & EY exchanged words & Joe shoved EY’s face & EY took Joe down & the brawled. MVP had a couple refs break it up.

Roode mocking Bully asked the fans “do you know who I am?” Bully told Roode to get in the ring & fight. Roode said that’s so pathetically typical.
