For all the crap we give him, the (breathes deeply) Executive Vice President of Talent Relations & the Permanent General Manager of RAW and SMACKDOWN (exhales) John Laurinaitis knows how to line his ducks in a row.
Just a couple of weeks ago on RAW, Big Show found himself in a pickle with Mr. Ace. After being caught imitating the GM’s voice, Show was forced to apologize for his actions. Show apologized, but not to the specifications Ace wanted.
After a week of torment, up to and including a screwjob loss to Daniel Bryan, Show executed an acting job worthy of either an Emmy or a Raspberry, depending on who you talk to. Show went to his knees, eyes flowing, begging to keep his job. Ace wasn’t impressed, and let the door hit Show in the ass on the way out figuratively.
When Big Show arrived at Over the Limit, it seemed like his interference one way or another was inevitable. He wasn’t a member of the roster, and in street clothes, looked quite dapper to be doing anything physical.
After dragging Ace’s sorry ass back into the ring, Show was about to murder him. Show gave courtesy to Ace’s opponent, John Cena, and let Cena attempt the Attitude Adjustment.
Only the Attitude Adjustment turned out to be Big Show’s right hand to John Cena’s face.
Hey, what did five fingers say to the face?
SLAP!
It was revealed Show had a verbal agreement with Laurinaitis going into Over the Limit, but had not been affiliated with the roster. Ace botched that on RAW, but it was covered up by WWE and their Twitter people.
(Speaking of which, follow @BadBooking on Twitter today! Please?)
Cena and Show will battle at No Way Out on June 17th. While most fans (including myself) balk at seeing this feud play out AGAIN, at least the motivation behind the story makes sense. As long as the series of matches is one and done, I have no problem with it.
Just make sure it doesn’t main event, PLEASE?
In a stat even weird for WWE standards, the WWE and/or World Heavyweight Championship(s) have not main evented a single Pay-Per-View this calendar year. John Cena has main evented four consecutive events (Kane/Elimination Chamber, Rock/Wrestlemania, Brock Lesnar/Extreme Rules, John Laurinaitis/Over the Limit) in non-title affairs, while the Royal Rumble match headlined the Royal Rumble.
At least the winner of the Rumble “headlined” Wrestlemania, in a eighteen second squash opener!
And now, here is a long version of Bruce Springsteen’s “Prove it All Night”. The song is off “Darkness on the Edge of Town”, but this legendary concert performance will almost make you forget about the vinyl!
