Cl(ass) Acts

One thing I find very awkward to watch is when an interview just goes south. The more south it goes, the more I cringe, but at times they can be funny, and even justified as you'll see in the top two here.

You could say other ones are as well, but the top two stood out to me.

Trying to break into an industry where I will be conducting interviews at some point (at least I hope anyways) these are some examples of what can happen when you have that finger in the eye approach to interviewing, or just blatant stupidity.



Remember, when kids play sports we're teaching them to have fun and cooperation. When the media takes a shot at someones kid in such cheap fashion it makes me wonder why Gundy didn't punch them out.

Pretty crazy stuff.

Is there any interviews you've seen or heard that have just gone bad?

Boyfriend? F**k you!

Guy or girl, who has not encountered a moment like this before? Come on you know you have. We ALL have.

But how did you react? Were you nice on the outside, brushed it off and moved on? Or did you have reactions like some of these?



I love it!

Let's see how you handle it next time now.

Rejected

Holy shit, I forgot how funny this is.

Depending on your sense of humor you'll either find this hilarious, or completely stupid. All that aside, the ending is pretty cool too.

And keep in mind, this has won awards.




Is YOUR spoon too big?!

Brand New Era

As a fan of WWE how can you complain with what has been going on as of late. Okay, okay, I understand that there is always something to be complained about.
But as for myself, I am really excited with the way everything is playing out on all fields of WWE.

Let's start with the obvious. After an awesome match on Sunday, CM Punk is the "unemployed" WWE Champion. He's playing it up big on twitter with the pictures from the Cubs game with the title, and over the next few months it'll only get better. If you are not on twitter or do not follow Punk, do so now if you want to keep up with this storyline.

Vince has been "relieved of his duties". A guy on CNBC is saying this could hurt their stock....are you kidding me? It's a storyline. Then again I guess the whole Donald Trump story hurt their stock a bit...I don't get finances. Anyway, Triple H is in his place. My dream thing is to see a Corporation/Evolution like stable led by Helmsley. Bring The Miz on board, maybe Drew McIntyre to give his career a jump start...again. Punk comes back, gets established as the big anti-corporate/Austin like face and have a good ol money feud there. I'm probably way off, but we'll see how it all plays out.

The WWE championship tournament finals are next week on Raw, with Rey Mysterio facing off against The Miz. I see Mysterio winning and Alberto Del Rio cashing in and winning. They need that quick briefcase cash in but couldn't do it at the PPV. If Miz wins, then all the power to him, I'll also be happy about that.

Christian is the World Heavyweight Champion and got it in such a sleazy fashion. Orton looked awesome when he snapped, realizing what had happened. I like the idea of Orton chasing the title, they say there's money in the chase, and these two have had great chemistry. Some people say, "another match? really?" I say bring it on. Love the matches and now the dynamic has changed.
We can't forget about the guy holding the briefcase though. Daniel Bryan. I hate to think that this could be the first guy who cashes in and loses, and I really hope that that is not the case here.
I actually marked out when I saw him grab the case as I really thought Wade Barret was going to get it towards the ends there.

With Punk as the WWE Champion, the WHC scene has been highlighted with great wrestling and Daniel Bryan holding the MITB briefcase, this could be the comeback of the in ring talent being more of a factor again.

I hope so.

Are you excited with there the WWE is right now? Are you not? Where do you want to see it all go from here?

Blast from the frozen past

Any WWE fan who was born in 1989 and sooner remember, if not actually having them, seeing the ads in the magazines of the WWE(f) Ice Cream Bars.

Look familiar?


Of course it does. And if it doesn't, you're more than likely at least familiar with the product thanks to another amazing promo from CM Punk this past Monday.

I could go on again about how amazing Punks mic work is, but then I might as well say ice is cold and fire is hot.
As soon as Punk mentioned the Ice Cream bars, they became an instant trending topic on twitter, and there is a huge demand for them.

You can contact Good Humor and tell them you want them to re-market WWE Ice Cream bars, but I believe at this time they don't have any intentions of doing so. But make your voice heard, and let's have this make a comeback.

R.A.W. Radio and Aftermath TV Show Host, Arda Ocal soon after tweeted, asking people about any old WWE(F) memorabilia  they had, and to share a picture.
I was thinking about stuff I have. Right now, it's not a lot. Mainly just shirts, but nothing rare at all.
When I was a kid though, oh how I wish I could go back in time, the action figures, the old shirts, the masks, the foam fingers. I had one specific thing though, that I wish I still had to this day, and most kids back in the day probably had a pair, especially if you are Canadian.


Bret Hart sunglasses. I loved these so much. As a fan of the Hitman, you had to have a pair of these. Sadly, I was never one of the fortunate to receive a pair from Bret Hart himself, but I purchased them at a Monday Night Raw taping back in the summer of 1997 here in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
That was the Raw where they had the first ever flag match that saw Bret, Owen and Davey Boy Smith against Steve Austin, Dude Love and Undertaker. What a great night. What kick ass shades.

Do you have any old WWE/WCW/NWA/AWA etc. items?

Tweet me @bradfordml and tell me about it or them.

Check out Aftermath on the Score Tuesdays at 6pm eastern and Fridays 10pm eastern and R.A.W. radio on Sirius channel 158 Monday nights right after Raw, or on thescore.com/radio. It's also available for download in iTunes.

Until next time, keep it rockin'

Here's my latest WWE purchase,

Woo Woo Woo, You Know It!
