Marking Out From My Couch: Royal Rumble Predictions

With the Royal Rumble being tomorrow and me being the blogger I am, decided to take a break from the massive hangover I have and will throw out my predictions for tomorrows event. With only four matches tomorrow it will be interesting to see the length of matches tomorrow and the whole concept of "every" wrestler being eligible adds a bit of intrigue to the match. Alright, enough of the lame intro BS, onto the article!

WWE 2012 Royal Rumble Preview

Probably the second biggest wrestling pay per view in the business, Summerslam is what lays the foundation for feuds and storylines leading up to the wrestling's biggest pay per view, Wrestlemania. This year will be no different as the rumors are rampant that there will be plenty of surprises for an already pretty stacked card.

With any superstar eligible to enter this could be a Rumble with a surprising winner. Below I will give you the three announced matches and who I think will win. I do not know what the order of the matches but I assume they'll save the Rumble for last. And yes, we will have a Rumble Liveblog/chat on Sunday. Whooo!

Marking Out From My Couch: My Q & A session..... with me!

Sorry, the absence I took was longer than I anticipated (again), however I'm back and I have questions to answer... my own questions mind you, but questions none-the-less.

Q: What has Chris Jericho accomplished since his return?

A: Hard to say, his initial return just had me thinking he was tanked when he came out, the weeks that followed showed that Jericho has a plan. I hate the no talking, no wrestling, get them fired up and leave approach but I'm supposed to, so I can't be that angry. Crowds are still eating it up every time he comes out, hell so would I, the man has charisma and can ignite a crowd like few can at this juncture in pro-wrestling. I for one am greatly looking forward to that night when Jericho comes out, rips the crowd and CM Punk then we get two golden months of Punk v. Jericho promos.

Spoiler Free WWE Smackdown LiveBlog/Chat Extravaganza

You read that correctly. Spoiler free. I stopped reading spoilers because why watch something when you know what is gonna happen? I mean, I usually KNOW what is gonna happen, but why take the interest out of possibly getting surprised? On we go. Feel free to comment on whatever, but try to remain topical and not too vulgar.

Monday Night Raw Liveblog/chat Extravaganza

Sara Del Rey, Diva Division Savior

We have all done it. We're watching Raw or Smackdown and when there is a diva's match we get up and go to the bathroom, or change the channel to something for five minutes, or blankly stare at the television until the segment is over, and quickly forget whatever we saw because, quite frankly, the diva's division is a joke. Fans who believe the diva division can be a source or actual entertainment beyond ,"Wow,she is hot!", thought they were in for a treat when Kharma showed up on WWE programming to scare the wits out of the diva division. They probably were until, not more than two months later, Kharma first killed any hope we had in her character development as a diva slayer, and then probably killed any chance the diva's division would get any serious consideration when she announced she was pregnant, sidelining her for at least a year.

Gettin Heat: John Laurinitis

I thoroughly dislike John "Ace" Laurinitis. Not because he has ever done anything to me or anyone I know, but because he is so good at his job. No, I'm not just being a "haterz", every week on Monday Night Raw Laurinitis comes in to our homes and politely asks each and everyone one of us to kindly hate his guts. Some people need an over the top "IMMA GIT YOU!" bad guy to get their attention, and I'll admit, when done properly(ex. Mr McMahon) the "Being evil because...why the hell not" is probably the most interesting character type in wrestling. However, what Laurinitis is doing is something I have yet to see in wrestling, being a cluelessly kind hearted evil boss. Think of Laurinitis as an evil Michael Scott and not only will it be easier to enjoy hating his guts, but he will be even more entertaining.

Get To Know An FCW Superstar: Leo Kruger

The reigning FCW champion, Leo Kruger has been in the wrestling business since 1998. While not as well known as our first two Get To Know profilees in the states before coming to WWE's developmental territory, Kruger made his name in the South African wrestling promotion, World Wrestling Professionals, home of another FCW, and current WWE superstar Justin Gabriel.

Marking Out... From My Couch: 2011 Year End Awards

You'll have to excuse my absence, I meant to begin writing here when the site first opened, however several lengthy work weeks and Shadow of the Colossus got in my way. I'm samx1605 and I will be writing the column "Marking Out.... From My Couch." I figured the easiest way to show my thoughts on pro-wrestling at first was to do my end of the year awards. Sadly, we just got ROH in my town less than 2 months ago so this list is going to be pretty much all WWE or TNA, for that I apologize.

Let's get to this, shall we?

Note To Wrestlers: Quit Telling Me What You're Bad At

Imagine you're trying to sell something to someone. Now, you're not going to tell the potential customer "Well, this product isn't the best. It doesn't do this and it  doesn't do that, but it does this really well." because if you draw attention to perceived negatives the potential customer isn't going to fork over their hard earned money to buy your product. No, you're going to focus on what the product does really well, and even kinda stretch the truth about just how good it is at what it does to get the potential customer to put money in your pocket.  Common sense stuff, right?
Apparently, the next generation of wrestlers skipped wrestling school the day they were teaching that. I say that because, and he isn't the first nor will he be the last, Daniel Bryan cut a promo that made me think "Why the hell did they put a title on this guy?" instead of "Damn, I want to see more of this guy!" Now, I know that Bryan is on a short list of guys who can have a great match with a mop so, of course, when a match between him and Dolph Ziggler(AKA The Guy Who Makes Everyone Look Fantastic) is announced I'm going to watch because I know I am going to get a great match.
