Unrequited love
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
Proverbs 13:12
As Sawyer recommends, I actually took a break from wrestling a month ago after following it nonstop since the summer. The aftermath of Night of Champions, with Vince returning, JR getting fired, and Johnny Ace being put in place as Raw GM was the cue for me to stop watching wrestling for a while,...

Learning to Live with Triple H
fairtoflair:
The saying goes “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” When I forgave Triple H two months ago, I became a fool. I knew that it would be a risky endeavor; Triple H had hurt me as a fan so much in his prime as a main event performer. I talked myself into him being curtailed, presented in small doses. While SummerSlam was a mollifying experience in that he didn’t...

SummerSlam Grosses More Than $1 Million →
internationalobject:
This marks the highest grossing SummerSlam ever held at the Staples Center.
Summerslam has hailed from the Staples Center for three years in a row. In 2009, they sold 14,116 tickets. In 2010, 14,178. This year? 17,404. That’s not growth: that’s a wild uptick.
Or, a million dollars isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? Pro wrestling, again.
For the record
Raw was good. I’m still as hooked on it as ever.

The SmarK RAW Rant – August 15 2011
internationalobject:
You know wrestling’s hot again when the old guys show up.
I used to love his reports 10 years ago, but now…. Ugh. He’s no better than the rest of the self-important IWC negatrons. This “rant” of his does nothing but prove Sawyer and Co.’s point that TV show reports are NOT examples of journalism, and simply not worth anyone’s time.

More questions than answers
internationalobject:
Just as the finale to Summerslam cracked open a fresh can of plot, last night’s Raw felt incredibly restrained in delivering on details. “Someone” texted Kevin Nash to attack the winner of the WWE Championship match. Stephanie McMahon was cryptic in her wooden style. John Lauranitis has something important to talk about with Nash. HHH promises he had nothing to do with it.

How many people watch Raw on DVR? →
internationalobject:
The July 4 episode of WWE Raw drew 400,000 delayed views on DVR. On July 11, it was back down to a more typical 324,000 and July 18 it was 319,000. That’s a range of 9 to 14 percent of live viewership.
Wrestling news sites freak out over .2 changes in ratings every week, but 14% of viewers aren’t even counted because they tape it. That’s not even counting people who...
