Memorabilia Lane: Evolution is a Mystery

Β In Memorabilia Lane, We’ll Discuss the Significance Some Kind of Collectible
(T-Shirt, Poster, Action Figure) has on us and how much we want it.

Sometimes it seems that wrestling fans are the only ones looking forward to Mondays. Because Mondays mean Monday Night Raw (unless there’s a dog show) and that means live tweeting! The 3ManBooth Twitter List and the KeepItFiveStar RAW Recap make a strong case for live tweeting to be the best way to watch RAW. The only that comes close if being there live! But all the comments, jokes and ideas that fly out as the show goes on show you just how much fun wrestling is.

Some ideas stick around and turn into bigger, unexpected things. When we made a Charles Darwin reference after Evolution reformed (remember that?) and beat down The Shield (remember them?) at the end of RAW, we were making a connection between the author of The Origin of Species and the 41 title faction known for wearing suits and sunglasses. We didn’t know that Squared Circle Clothing had the same idea and took it further: to t-shirt form!

Highlight Reel: Realest American

In Highlight Reel, 3MB will look at funny and interesting wrestling videos

So much happened on Monday Night RAW this week: returns, turns returns and turns. In case you missed it on television or our RAW recap, Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger came out to confront Lana and the Bulgarian Brute Rusev. The crowd embraced this new side of Colter and Swagger and all 50 states joined in unison to un-ironically say, “We The People!”

If Jack Swagger in en route to becoming a Real American, the final piece of the puzzle would be getting the official endorsement from Hulk Hogan and the right to use Rick Derringer’s “Real American,” the most American song in wrestling.

Or… he could be like Kenny Powers and just take it.

So That Happened: #RAW Recap (06/30/14)

Paige Speaks:

Paige says she’s a woman of few words, but she lets her actions speak for her. Paige says she knows that there were people out there who think she should go back to NXT and that she didn’t deserve to be a champion. Paige says she’s proven in the past few months that she deserves to be here and she is here to stay.

HERE COMES A NEW (OLD) CHALLENGER:

AJ Lee says tells Paige that she was right and congratulates her on doing what no woman in almost a year could do: Prove her wrong. AJ says Paige proved everyone wrong. AJ says she let success go to her head, and despite being the longest reigning Divas Champion of all time, she shouldn’t have rubbed it in everyone’s face. AJ tells Paige she thought she was untouchable, but Paige gave AJ slap that she needed. AJ thanks Paige and congratulates her.

Paige tells AJ Lee that she’s not stupid, and calls AJ out for doing exactly what Paige did to her the RAW after Wrestlemania. Paige thinks AJ is trying to goad her into having a rematch for the title tonight, but tells AJ that it’s not going to happen. Paige tells AJ that she’s not going to make the same mistake she did.

Paige tells AJ Lee that nobodyΒ in the arena wants to see her defend her Championship tonight.

After a loud “YES!” Chant, AJ tells her sweet little crumpet, Paige that the WWE Universe should decide. AJ Lee asks the WWE Universe if they want to see a Championship Rematch right now. After another loud “YES” chant, Paige accepts the match.

Highlight Reel: Canada Day 2014

In Highlight Reel, 3MB will look at funny and interesting wrestling videos

The first of July is also known as Canada, a day in which we celebrate the uniting of 3 British Colonies to form what we now know as Canada. Without that unity, think of all the things we never would have gotten from our neighbor to the north would not have given us: great maple syrup, Canadian Bacon – the food and the filmRobin Sparkles, and… well, Nickelback (They can’t all be winners). Canada even shared their favorite son with the world: Wayne Gretsky Bret “The Hitman” Hart, the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be!
