We stare right into the nappy head of Raven to start the show. He cuts one of his signature ECW promos about being a tortured young kid growing in the late 1970s while sitting alone in a dark room. Two years later, “Freaks and Geeks” debuted on NBC TV about a bunch of misfit teenagers trying to figure it all out in the late 1970s. COINCIDENCE? Probably. Quoth the Raven, “Nevermore”.
And now, we transition to see those kind of girls who Raven could never get in high school: THE NITRO GIRLS!

Backstage, the Giant is confronted by police and Doug Dellinger and handed a PIECE OF PAPER~! Is it a warrant? Is it a restraining order? What’s going on?!
Michael Buffer asks us if we are ready to rumble. Indeed, we are. NITRO GIRLS! It always seems like Fyre is in the back of these dance routines. Not cool.

My FIRST recap from the WWE Network! Hope it’s working for everybody. At the start of day two, I can watch everything fine in my browser, the live stream works flawlessly on Roku, but still not able to log in on Xbox360. We’ve got to give WWE another day or two to figure out the bugs. Aside from those minor temporary issues, it looks to be an awesome service.
Your hosts are Bill Mercer and Jay Saldi. My buddy SLACKAMANIA tells me that Saldi was the tight end for the 1978 Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys. He sounds like Buckles from Seinfeld. “I wonder how Ike Turner would react in traffic…” Read the rest of this entry
