Thu, 04 Dec 2008 09:50:40 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Differently abled dogmentary is on the air!  But really a somewhat mundane Raw this week lead us to talk more about the state of the industry than the actual show.  Enjoy! http://rawmentary.com/?p=70 Another dose of Rawmentary fun is here for you.  Smackdown this week and quite fun it was too.  Live (not live) from Machesterton, Engerlandingshire we go waaay off topic in this one but I think it should be listenable. http://rawmentary.com/?p=69 Wow it's been a lon time since I posted a rawmentary.  We have three in the bag but thanks to my laziness they have sat, unauralized on my lappy for weeks.  It gives me great pleasure to now give you our second 800th episode! (well 35th rally but whatever) http://rawmentary.com/?p=68 Ah yes, here we are with a fresh new Rawmentary for your aural pleasurement.  This week we forget everything that happened during the show while fighting with some annoying ssh issue during upload.  Enjoy! http://rawmentary.com/?p=67 I've had such trouble uploding this I, quite frankly, can't remember what we talked about but I'm sure it's hilarious! http://rawmentary.com/?p=66 It has finally come to pass.  Smackdown and the CW have parted ways and it's now time for a new era of the blue show to commence on MyNetwork.TV.networkTV.  Not a bad outing but I do wonder how much ratings are goind to drop off in the coming weeks if ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=65 After a short(ish) break we are back just in time to be a week late for Raw 800.  Not a bad show this week some good Glamorella fun and Shane O'Mac baby! http://rawmentary.com/?p=64 So here we are, Unforgiven 2K8.  We start from the opening bell of the SD! Scrumble and pretty much recap all the way through it then run through sans-break until the end.  Not a bad PPV but certainly not exceptional.  The big reveal at the end could have been handled ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=63 Smackdown once again this week but mostly on-time thankfully.  A pretty decent show on the run-up to Unforgiven I thought some good comedy action from Trip and another successful outing for R-Truth made the show I thought.  Enjoy! http://rawmentary.com/?p=62 Well we started late this week but it wasn't a bad SD! with Ron Killings debuting and some other fun shit including trip getting all maehhhgh! :-^. http://rawmentary.com/?p=61 Small note, there will be some downtime for some of the previous episodes as I hit our storage quota this week and am re-encoding the old episodes at a lower bit-rate.  There will be no noticeable drop in quality but I am managing to cut the filesizes in about half. G3. http://rawmentary.com/?p=60 Live* from the Smackstrodome we bring you the XX-Seventh edition of Rawmentary 2008.  This week we're doing Smackdown and by garsh it wasn't that shit.  It was nice to see Jeff and Trip and there was a good promo vid for Ron Killings's return as R-Truth.  We get into a ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=59 OK, so this week was a bit of a mixed bag, I mean sack.  You had Kane finally reveal that his sack contained one of Rey's old sweaty masks thereby finally proving that the whole "Is he alive or is he dead?" thing was a pile of ill-though out bullshit ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=58 So, here we are, a quarter of a century of Rawmentaries.  The Adamle era has begun and boy does it stink.  Still though, not an awful show and I think we had fun. http://rawmentary.com/?p=57 Fairly interesting week this week, I've been lazy as fuck in putting this bitch up and, quite frankly, can't quite remember what happened but I do remember it being interesting what with Mike Admlemanager and Shane O'Mac and all t'wasnt a terrible Raw.  Which is about the nicest thing one ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=56 So here we are with a brand new Rawmentary for you.  A slightly poor and disjointed Raw this week but I think we managed to make enough fun of it for the show to be entertaining.  So, what mysteries does Kane's burlap sack hold? Where are they going with Cena? ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=55 Before we went away for 2 weeks leaving a few classics for you to listen to, we did the Draft show, and held... http://rawmentary.com/?p=54 So there's no real point in attempting to follow this one as it's a VHS recording of an SD! ep from January 2002 in what was an amazing era for the WWF.  I sincerely hope we see an SD! as good as this again in the near future! http://rawmentary.com/?p=53 So here I sit in sunny Slough learning stuff I already know (pretty much) bored shitless quite frankly but I can't be all glum as it gives us a great opportunity to put up a Shelf of the classic main event from the classic PPV that was Royal Rumble 2001. ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=52 So the draft is over (hope the title didn't spoil it for anyone) and it was certainly a major shakeup, a lot better than expected for sure. This is a special week though it's time for the first annual Rawmentary.com awards. To commemorate the sort of one year ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=50 Stupid Charlie Haas, stupid Vince McMahon, stupid pretty good Raw.  That's right zlotniks, despite the continuation of Mee Ron Do Raghhh Mess this weeks raw was pretty entertaining what with the back and forth between Trip and Cena at the start Y2J being all up ons Flair as a heel ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=49 Oh good lord what an abortion of a Raw that was.  Now Vince, I'm a big backer of yours sir, I've never believed all the talk about you being a control freak and pigheaded but jeez Vinny, that just sucked.  In tonights episode you will hear our shocked amazement and ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=48 Special time once more.  This week we bring you a selection of matches from One Night Stand.  That's WWE One Night Stand, not ECW but WWE.  Got it? Ok. Having made that distinction I must say it was a somewhat entertaining PPV, it was no 2005 but thats just the way ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=47 So I was supposed to put up a shelf last week and I thought I had uploaded it and just not posted it (new job = tired G3!) but I hadn't so we'll save it for another time.  Anyhoo here's the newest recorded live Rawmentary.  Rawmentary X-8 - lamecon vs ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=46 I must say I was hoping that X-Seven would be the turning point for Raw and that we would start seeing a new wave of genius flow over the company. Alas we had a somewhat mediocre outing with more of the lame megolamaniacal Regal goings on. Still I ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=45 Fuji General, Weird, too long Trevor Murdoch song, a predictable title rematch with a slightly botched New World Organization style end. It can only be Rawmentary 2000! http://rawmentary.com/?p=44 Well what a wasted opportunity that was. William Regal, a steady mid-card talent whose in-ring glory days are gone but with a promising and potentially long career as a personality ahead of him is King of the Ring! The chance to give a worthy, young and eager worker ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=43 I think we were both kind of tired this week so that combined with a somewhat weak outing from the London-based Raw provided for some interesting moments of weakness.  We are looking forward to KOTR next week though.  Mickie new champ though, yay! http://rawmentary.com/?p=42 So the "Voice of ECW" is now the head of WWE.com and we now have to suffer through our occasional ECWWE viewings with this chump who knows nothing about the business, nothing about the current state of the company and even less about any of the talent. Some genius ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=41 This week we have a special episode for you, rather than the normal show we have us commenting over the Raw 15th anniversary show.  I had not seen it when we did this as I was away when it was on but MCA kindly recorded it for us to watch.  ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=40 After a surprisingly good WrestleMania we had an amazingly emotional Raw with Ric Flair's farewell address and all the horsemen and WWE wrestlers past and present saluting the dirtiest player in the game!  Unfortunately we missed the chance to Rawment over it so we did Smackdown instead.  We mostly pontificate ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=39 After a long and storied career it's nice to see Ric go out on a high. Photo from WWE Corporate Press FTP Dir. http://rawmentary.com/?p=37 So it is almost time for the superstars to step on to the grandest stage of them all.  Wrestlemania is upon us and we're here to watch and comment on the pre-mania stumpfest that is before us.  Enjoy! http://rawmentary.com/?p=38 So MCA kindly picked up this festive WWE Easter Egg for me but noticed something slightly odd, check:   Click to enlargeIt's probably a printing anomaly as all the other boxes had the correct logo on http://rawmentary.com/?p=36 Came across this video recently. I would have moved to Vegas in an instant if this place had come to fruition. http://rawmentary.com/?p=35 Ok, so we were supposed to do Jim Cornette Rants this week, the plan was to write them independently then just launch into it without the other one knowing it.  However, we figured out through subtle implication throughout the show that we had done our rants on the same subject, ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=34 Wooooooo! 3 hour Raw,  Wrestlemania Rewind week, Randy's in charge, Umaga's there, Money Mayweather.  Wow, this is getting lame.  So we've had a 3 hour Raw that could have been better but there were some fun-ish moments and poor old Jeff has got himself a title loss and 60-Day wellness ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=33 Right then, it's time once again for another Rawmentary and this week Cena's in charge and is making matches as predictable as the regular creative team. But no matter Show and Mayweather will save us with some witty banter won't they? http://rawmentary.com/?p=32 OK So after a week that we'd rather forget and a pay-per-view that equaled December to Dismember in its mediocrity we're back for another ball-busting episode of your favorite wrestlecast. Topics of discussion this week include poor old Rey being sidelined again, Show's return and Smackdown's move. http://rawmentary.com/?p=31 It's that time once again, Rawmentary 2008 VI is here on the actual eve of No Way Out.  This week we not only cover Raw in a way that only we can but also discuss the recent TNA Pain-Per-View "Against All Odds" and talk through the future of Smackdown! and ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=30 Well, we didn't have a great one last night. Raw was kind of mediocre on the front end of the Japan tour with the main event being a damn arm-wrestling match between Cena and Grilla which seemed to make practically no sense. We did our best to stay ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=29 A very special welcome to you all.  This week we have something a little different for you.  As it is the week of the 21st Royal Rumble we decided to do a special Rawmentary on the Rumble match its self.  It was a fun-packed classic pay-per view and if you ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=28 This year's third edition of your prefered Sports Entertainment podcast is here. This week we talk new sets, new direction? Discuss WWE birthdays and the potential return of former WWE talent.  Are we witnessing the birth of the new attitude era? Probably not.  Get listening! http://rawmentary.com/?p=27 So here we are once again, G3 and MCA reporting on the second installment of Rawmentary 2008.  This week we discuss the Big Show's potential return, Lawlersuit involving Vince and a Memphis promoter, the wiseness of JBL's in-ring return and a whole host of other current Wrestlevents.  Share and Enjoy. G3 http://rawmentary.com/?p=26 So we have been on myspace for a while myspace.com/rawmentary but we are now on facebook too so head over and join us. http://rawmentary.com/?p=25 If you all would please look up and to the right you will see that we have added a new page Gear! Here you will find a host of downloads (1) and a link to our brand spanky Cafepress store where you can get t-shirts and all sorts. ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=24 Ok, so I've not exactly removed but more made all of the pre-2008 Rawmentaries unavailable for now as I think we both want a nice fresh start for 2008. If anybody wants any of 2007's Rawmentaries please just ask and i'll be happy to provide a download. Tune ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=21 Well welcome once again wrestlefans.  We are back for the new year.  Yes, MCA and myself G3 are once again producing the premiere sports entertainment podcast on a weekly basis.  So turn up your speakers, break out last weeks Raw on your TIVO and enjoy the first Rawmentary of 2008, ... http://rawmentary.com/?p=20
