Live from beautiful New Orleans, Louisiana, the entire male roster is out on the stage when Vince's music hits and the chairman and one of the principle owners of the WWE strut out. Stephanie asks why the Raw crowd isn't happy. Vince says to welcome your next WWE champion and gestures at the stage where the New Day are goofing off. All these men are in the Rumble apparently despite there being more than 30 guys on the stage I think and also there are a lot of tag teams there. Vince keeps calling Dolph "Dolph Ziegler." Stephanie says it could be Kevin Owens' time. Vince says he feels a hallelujah coming on because the New Day could be the new champion! The lights go out and the Wyatts teleport to commentary. Bray says "anyone but you, Roman." Vince continues his promo even though the lights are still out. Vince says Brock is entered into the Rumble. Roman's music hits and he makes his way through the crowd. JBL calls him an "irascible hothead." I think JBL says that Roman is #1 or #2 but I don't know when they announced that. The crowd is having a hard time chanting for Roman, Stephanie makes fun of them, so they give up. The crowd pops for Stephanie saying Roman is going to beat up Vince. Vince calls Roman "pal" and Roman says he's not here to beat Vince up but to ask him what happens when he wins. Stephanie cackles. Roman is booked in a "one vs all" match tonight to prove that he's capable of winning the Rumble. I think its like the Cena and Orton vs the entire roster match except instead of two guys going over everyone, it'll be one guy. Stephanie says Roman might even have to wrestle Dean but Vince clarifies that Dean wont be in that match since he has to wrestle first. Sheamus then jumps Dean and we cut to commercial.

Of The Year 2015
This year I consumed a lot less wrestling and music and games and stuff than I have in years past for whatever reason. I think I spent a lot more time in silence worrying in 2015 than I did in 2012-14. Thanks to the worry, I'm going to just do a single post of all the things I liked/thought were important in 2015 instead of doing separate posts. Okay.

Every Show I've Been To As Of April, 2015
Last night, I was watching live They Might Be Giants videos in the wake of their release as Rock Band customs. It occurred to me to see if someone had uploaded footage from the time I saw them back almost a decade ago. It turns out someone had and that led to me looking up every single show I've been to over the last like twelve years. I took some time this afternoon and looked up the dates and stuff for all those shows and compiled a list. Here is the list accompanied by some thoughts and stuff about the given show as well as a youtube clip if I could find one!

Monday Night Raw - 3/16/2015
Kane, Big Show, Joey and Jamie, and Seth Rollins are in the ring to start the show. Rollins has a new shirt. Rollins chant. Seth is mad Orton betrayed him. The crowd really hates the Big Show. Show sucks up to Rollins and puts down Orton. Kane puts down Orton and sucks up to Rollins and kicks in a snide remark at Big Show. Jamie Noble calls himself the "secret weapon of the Authority." Joey refuses to talk into the microphone and starts crying into Big Show's chest. Seth Rollins accepts Randy Orton's challenge for a match at Wrestlemania as long as they also wrestle tonight. What. Why? Orton's music hits. Orton says he's not the face of the WWE, he's just "a guy." Everyone on the roster is just a guy, Randy. Randy accepts the match for tonight, and its the main event. He says he'll end the future of the WWE. There's also a Cena/Rusev contract signing tonight as well as a sit down interview with Lesnar.

Orton opens the show tonight from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Authority, minus the McMahons, are in the ring. Huge hatchet man sign front and center. Kane welcomes Orton back into the Authority, officially. The crowd is very loud, booing Big Show. Big Show lashes out at them. Big Show is cool when he's not wrestling. Randy and Show shake hands. Jamie Noble cuts a promo. Noble says Randy is a "snake" who can't be trusted. Seth says Jamie is the "sensitive one." Seth tries to get Joey to talk about Randy but he refuses. "Everyone's saying 'Randy Orton isn't really part of the Authority." Show screams "HA HA WROOONNNNGGG" at the top of his lungs. Orton and Seth shake hands. Orton says the Authority has gone soft. Calls Kane the Devil's Favorite Dumbass. He says Big Show just bitches and moans. The most pathetic superstar in history. He says Jamie is jealous of Randy because Randy can ride all the rides at Disney Land. He doesn't say anything to Joey. Randy reveals his master plan to make Rollins his bitch. RKO chant. Randy punks Seth out and then says he's screwing with everyone. Seth Rollins still thinks he's going to take over for Jon Stewart. The main event tonight is a rematch of last week's, because that's best for business.

Monday Night Raw - 3/2/2015
Seth Rollins opens the show. They are showing the Daily Show clip from when Seth Rollins was on it. Jon Stewart is scheduled to appear. Raw's in NJ tonight. Seth Rollins says he's a better Daily Show host than Stewart and I am inclined to agree. Rollins says everyone paid to see him tonight, unlike at the Daily Show where people get their seats for free. Roman Reigns' music hits. Roman promo time. Seth says he can out talk Stewart, out rap Wiz Khalifa, out eat Mark Henry, and out wrestle Roman Reigns. Seth says Roman can't beat Brock Lesnar, but Seth can. Roman reminds Seth that Brock already beat him. CM Punk chants. Roman is trying to like book a triple threat match but I'm having a hard time following it due to the CM Punk chants distracting me. Roman decks Seth, Superman Punches Mercury, and Spears Noble. Cole tells us Roman's motivations and JBL undermines him for no reason.

Monday Night Raw - 2/23/2015
Pyro opens the show tonight from Nashville, Tennessee. 34 Days away from Wrestlemania. Randy Orton's music opens the show, and, indeed, Randy Orton himself. Booker T says Cowboy Bob was known as the "Mechanic." I don't know if thats true or not. #OrtononRaw. Nice "Randy" chant. Randy shows some footage of Rollins putting Orton out of business four months ago.Randy is "just now getting started." The Authority, except Seth Rollins, come out. Big Show and Kane are just awful. Air Force Gator sign in the crowd, hi Dan Ryckert. Stephanie tries to bring Randy back into the Authority fold. Crowd seems reasonably hot. Randy says he'd rather "kick some ass than kiss some ass." Big Show talks and everyone hates him. Stephanie says Randy isn't a "good guy." Apaprently Orton has been invited to a "business conference" I guess I wasn't paying attention. Oh well.
