The Only Real Wrestling Podcast - October 17th, 2017 SD Live

What are a lot of these podcasts, YouTube shows, Twitter accounts, etc talking about when it comes to professional wrestling sometimes!?!?!  I mean, are they making up all of this "news" or something?  Well, here at The Only Real Wrestling Podcast, what we see is what you get.

Here, we take a look at WWE Smackdown Live from October 17th, 2017, straight out of Seattle, WA!

(https://youtu.be/AQHnNJEK-vs)

1.  Daniel Bryan gets so much love from the WWE Universe in Seattle, WA.  This was ruined by Sami Zayn coming out, dancing like a fool, and calling Daniel Bryan every bad thing in the book! Then Kevin Owens (Onions) shows up and calls Daniel Bryan names too!

2. Charlotte, Becky Lyncy, and Naomi defeat Natalya (c), Lana, and Tamina in a Three-Woman tag match.  Carmella was ringside with her briefcase making us all wish she was in her briefs!

3.  Breezedango's new short film, Pulp Fiction, airs to rave reviews.  The Ascension are scary but funny in the movie.

4.  Baron Corbin comes out and cancels the U.S. Title Open Challenge (Ultimate Dingbat move!)  Sin Cara jumps over the top ropes and defeats Baron Corbin with a count out victory!!!!!!!!!!!

5.  Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable do an ULTIMATE diss on The Usos!

6.  Tom Philips was not present this week because he's on assignment.  Michael Cole took his place.

7.  Jinder Mahal comes out and talks about how awesome he is in India.  He tells of a little boy who asked him why he is not respected in America.  In response, Mahal challenges Brock Lesnar!

8.  AJ Styles comes out and says Mahal hasn't beat him yet, so he doesn't know what he's talking about!  Next week, AJ will face Sunil Singh!

9.  Aiden English gets his voice shut down by The New Day, and when Rusev comes out, The New Day play his theme song with a trombone!  Rusev gets mad and tells English to stop singing!!

10.  A Glorious Hole makes an appearance on a sign as Bobby Roode comes out.  Dolph Ziggler cheats to win, and forgets to NOT play his music!

11.  Shinsuke Nakamura & Randy Orton take on Kevin Onions and Sami Zayn.

The Only Real Wrestling Podcast, RAW, October 16th, 2017

What are a lot of these podcasts, YouTube shows, Twitter accounts, etc talking about when it comes to professional wrestling sometimes!?!?!  I mean, are they making up all of this "news" or something?  Well, here at The Only Real Wrestling Podcast, what we see is what you get.

Here, we take a look at WWE Monday Night RAW from October 16th, 2017, straight out of Seattle, WA!

(https://youtu.be/_trCKmNElII)

A numbered list of what happened:

1.  Kurt Angle came out to talk, and is interrupted by The S.H.I.E.L.D.
2.  Elias Sampson, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson lose to Apollo Crews, Titus O'Neil, and Jason Jordan.
3.  Emma & Alexa Bliss lose to Mickie James and Bayley.  Emma is still hot as balls and didn't cause the loss.  That was all Alexa Bliss's Ego's fault.
4.  Alicia Fox loses to Sasha Banks.  Fox attacks Banks backstage, pushes a ref, and gets fined.
5.  The Crowd told Sheamus he looks stupid.
6.  Enzo Amore and his cronies (Dar, Davari, Gulak, Nese) attack and almost kill Kalisto and Mustafa Ali. They then walk out of the ring like a line of ducks.
7.  Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins defeat The Bar of Sheamus and Cesaro in a successful Title Defense.
8.  Curtis Axel is the official cheerleader for Team The Miz and The Bar.  He then tries to prove himself by going to attack Roman Reigns.  Axel is then found hanging upside down, shirtless, with hickies or something on his torso.
9.  Finn Balor shows us his demon and TRANSFORMS RIGHT IN FRONT OF US from Demon to Man!
10.  THAT'S GOTTA BE KANE shows up and attacks Roman Reigns during the Steel Cage match!  Braun Strowman beats Roman Reigns!  Kane is now the fifth member of Team The Miz and The Bar and The Strowman for The WWE Tables, Ladders, and Chairs PPV!

How to Respond to "Pro Wrestling Is Fake"

You know it.  You know how it feels.  When you say anything to the thought that MAYBE you watch professional wrestling, or WWE's Sports Entertainment, you are undoubtedly told that it's fake!

First, if you haven't seen Max Landis's "Wrestling Isn't Wrestling," spend the next 24 minutes absorbing some of the most fun and thought provoking pro wrestling commentary ever created:

(People who say it's fake, clearly don't watch wrestling)

Now, my 2 minute response that isn't as good and was done in like an hour:

(Nowadays, I just say "FOOOOIIIIIIIIIIKE!")

Please follow me on Twitter! @BLoafX and let me know how you let people know pro wrestling is fake!

My special moment in the Festival of Friendship of Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho

I hope you agree with me that the Kevin Owens / Chris Jericho Best Friends deal was one of the best things of 2016/2017!  It was so good that Chris Jericho decided to keep wrestling!  That man is old!  He should have quit wrestling long term a while ago!  But not when he's best friends with Kevin Owens!

(How best friends celebrate big victories!)

My good Twitter friend @SaifQuadri loved these two (if you follow his Twitter, you'll find that he pretty much loves everything WWE).  He also loves Lady Gaga.  So I put this little video together!

(A Truly Bad Bromance!)

Unfortunately, at Las Vegas (I was there!) on February 13th, 2017, the best friends ceased to exist.  Chris Jericho threw a Festival of Friendship for his best friend.  Unfotunately, Kevin Owens had some grave news for all of us...

(Chris Jericho thinks he's Tom Jones!)

Unfortunately again, this clip from WWE (they edit pretty much everything for YouTube) cut out my sign!

(This was amazing to me [I'm the one in the "I'm a Verizon Guy" shirt - it was at the T-Mobile arena] because not only did I spend hours on this amazing sign, I got a Kevin Owens cosplayer to help hold it!)

A WWE Tapout Commercial Parody

Are you tired of those Tapout commercials that run constantly on the WWE Network?  Well, I did, so I did something about it!

Here is the original commercial:

(Did you know athletes work out? This commercial shows you how they do it)

So, what we did was have a couple of beers, and this glorious piece of workout machinery was born:

Which version do you like better?  Would you like to see more WWE parody videos?  Let me know in the comments or tweet me! @BLoafX

The Green Bastard calls out Mangle!

I work with this guy whose last name is Mangle.  I got really drunk during the Royal Rumble and I was wearing my The Green Bastard outfit.  He use to be a big pro wrestling fan, so I thought he'd get a kick out of this.

(What are you, a fish?)

But just who is The Green Bastard?  There is this Canadian show called Trailer Park Boys.  It easily is in my top 5 shows of all time.  There is one character named Bubbles.  He loves pro wrestling.  He even came up with a character - The Green Bastard, parts unknown.

Every episode of Trailer Park Boys can be watched on Netflix!

The Sports Entertainment News Program - Payback 2016

Holy cow! I can't believe it's already been a year since I've filmed this!  This is The Sports Entertainment News Program.  Basically it's me talking about Pro Wrestling with some Alternative Facts.

(The Sports Entertainment News Program on WWE Payback 2016)

This was so hastily shot that I didn't realize I look like a face floating talking about WWE Payback. Haha!  It was a last second idea thrown together faster than the standard WWE booking.

If you watched the news program, do you think this is something I should start back up with a little better set design)?  It was fun for me, just making up a bunch of stuff!  Just comment or tweet me @BLoafX! 

Get USA Network on Sling TV

How big of a wrestling nerd am I?  Well, the main reason (I'd say about 98%) I have ever had cable television is to watch WWE Monday Night RAW and whatever other wrestling shows there are on TV!  It's absolute bullsnap that I have to pay for a whole cable package for a whole bunch of channels I don't even watch!  And no, I'm not going to stream the shows without paying for them (I'm a loser).

Enter an alternative way of watching TV - TV streaming channels!  There are a few main options currently:  PlayStation Vue, Sling TV, and Direct TV Now.  You can get USA Network on all three services.  Here are a few notes on what I think about them (the channels are linked to their channel listings):

PlayStation Vue:  I had the PlayStation Vue for a week on a trial period.  Their DVR (which records shows you want to the cloud) was great.  They had some on demand content as well for $29.99

The major drawback for me is the fact that I couldn't watch any WWE shows live on original broadcasts.  I like getting on Twitter and tweeting about wrestling as they are, and the vast majority of people who tweet do so during the original live broadcast.

@PlayStation So people all over the world I'm seeing tweet #RAW live and I can't watch live on Vue? How do I watch Live?

— Sean CoROCKin'! (@BLoafX) March 28, 2017

I would've let the free trial run into a paid month if I could've watch wrestling live, or even if they replied to my tweet!  They also lost

Sling TV:  Sling TV rounded me up by replying to one of my tweets:

@BLoafX We added the USA Network to Sling TV today! You can read our announcement here: https://t.co/O40isRxzzm

— Sling TV (@Sling) June 30, 2016

USA Network is available on their 2nd cheapest package, the Blue package, for $25.  Also, when I signed up, I was able to get a Roku 3 for $49.99 (at the time, it originally was $99).  The Roku 3 was a big upgrade from the Roku 2.

Sling TV's on demand content is by far the largest.  They are beta testing their DVR service (which, unfortunately, they did not let me in on!)  I had a little problem with streams for about the first week, but other than that, there is a short delay when watching TV (I'd say about 30 seconds).

(So far, no one has tagged me in a tweet to @Sling crediting me for a new subscription!)

Direct TV Now:  Direct TV Now is what I'm currently running on.  Of the three services, I dislike this one the most.  The stream stops every once in a while.  Sometimes it will restart itself, other times I have to change the channel to get the stream working again.

On the plus side, I did get an Amazon Fire Stick with Voice Remote for free with the purchase of a month.  This is because Direct TV doesn't have an app on Roku.  I haven't had any issues with the Fire Stick and streaming on anything else except Direct TV.  Also, if you have AT&T Unlimited Plus, make sure to check out their bundle deal with Direct TV Now.

(Direct TV Now is pretty limited on what it can run on. On my laptop, it won't run on any browser, and there is no app for Windows.  It runs fine on my phone, though)

Final Verdict:  Sling TV.  It'll be Sling TV x 2 when they get their cloud service up.  But watch out Sling!  YouTube TV is coming out.  When I checked them, they haven't released in my area yet (Las Vegas).  However, since it is a local deal, they may be like the Vue and broadcast for the west coast (this means no live wrestling for me!) I'll update this when I get the chance to try it out!

The RAW before Wrestlemania 33!!

The RAW Loaf takes a look at The RAW Before WrestleMania! Do Goldberg and Lesnar kill each other? Does Bayley somehow get Sasha Banks and Charlotte disqualified from their match at WrestleMania?

(Was RAW the Ultimate Thrill Ride that WrestleMania 33 wanted to be?)

In my opinion, RAW was not the Ultimate Thrill Ride.  The major takeaway for me was Goldberg.  Maybe it is because I've never been a Goldberg fan - the whole character to me is boring, especially at Oldberg's age.  Did you not see him vs. Kevin Owens?  Oldberg just stood in the ring all those times Kevin Owens got out of the ring and prevented the start of the match.

BORING!

The REAL Royal Rumble Numbers WWE Doesn't Want You Knowing!

Every year, the WWE does a video giving us a whole bunch of numerical achievements the Royal Rumble has.  For the 30th Royal Rumble in 2017, the numbers were greater than ever!

However, what about all the other numbers?  Do you think there are numbers the WWE Doesn't want you to see?  Check out the video below for the REAL Royal Rumble numbers!

(There have been numerous accusations of racism in the WWE. Does this video provide the proof?)

Be sure to share this video with your friends if they love the Royal Rumble....maybe it will give them some REAL insight on what REALLY is going on!!!

Top 10 Things - Becky Lynch AFRAID of Wardrobe Malfunction?! - WWE Smackdown Live Aug 9th 2016

Top 10 things we learned on Smackdown Live!

(https://youtu.be/nbfnG40jLCY)

1.  JBL hates politicians - “Had to watch my pocket now that Rhyno’s a politicain” “Rhyno you Damn Politican”
2.  Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon are basically star crossed lovers.  Are they ever separated?
3.  The Miz is doing basically everything except wrestling.  Laying on desks, commentary, getting kidnapped by Scooby Doo
4.  The Tag Team Division follows in the Women’s Wrestler’s footsteps and just hangs out at the ring.  For me, biggest part was Mikey O’Shea from Paragon Pro Wrestling and other promotions showing up and basically stealing the show because this segment was kind of bland...basically it was a bland split in a brand split.
5.  Becky had the biggest promo mistake of all time.  Should’ve added that she could fight naked if she had to.  And she had one part where she went something like “Heeerrre!”
6.  Heath Slater had a job...but they took his job!!!
7.  Rhyno hates above ground pools
8.  Dean Ambrose talked about more wrestlers getting more air time on the Stone Cold Podcast because of the Brand Split, he’s opening and closing the show!  I love the Wyatt’s entrance, but only once a night!
9.  A couple weeks ago, I REALLY wanted a mountain dew. This week, I REALLY want to see Ben Hur, but it isn’t out until Aug 19th!
10.  Eva Marie is the biggest tease of all time.  Fake wardrobe malfunction, came back out to do nothing.

Mick Foley's WrestleMania Raffle with RAINN #WrestleManiaDreamVacation

(https://rainn.org/wrestlemania)

Amongst the wrestling world, it is well known that Mick Foley (a.k.a. Mankind, Dude Love, Cactus Jack) partners with RAINN (Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network) to throw one heckuva shindig for a lucky winner and guest to go to WrestleMania!  It could be anyone's #WrestleManiaDreamVacation!

RAINN is quite the worthy organization, named one of Worth magazine's "America's 100 Best Charities."  They are all about helping those who have gone through what no one should have to go through.  You can enter the raffle knowing that even if you don't win the Grand Prize, you have done some good in the world!

(It's important to remember that males can be victims too. Don't be afraid to seek help if you need it)

Mick Foley is one of their most adamant supporters.  The WWE Hall of Famer is well known for his big heart and big love for all things Santa.  This is no surprise that he works so hard to help out RAINN with the WrestleMania raffle.

(http://www.realmickfoley.com)

The grand prize list quite the prize.  What would I be most excited for if I win?  Don't make me choose please.  However, Kevin Nash's Shenanigans looks like it will have a handful of wrestlers there that I would NOT be able to NOT have a shot or two (or five with ODB there).

Today's incentive courtesy of @RealKevinNash: 2 VIP tix to Kev's #ShenanigansDallas party! https://t.co/NLIcorwLSM pic.twitter.com/E6NIQKNZFf

— Mick Foley (@RealMickFoley) March 8, 2016

Seriously though...dinner with Mick, tickets to so many wrestling events (not to mention RINGSIDE at WrestleMania AND the "RAW after WrestleMania," which is an event in its own right!), AXXESS, Ringside with Jim Ross & Friends, the art from Schamberger...and whatever else comes down the ramp!  How can you pick?!

My very first wrestling t-shirt that I purchased was a Mankind shirt.  I would definitely see if Mr. Foley would sign that for me.

(I've had this shirt for dang near 20 years!)

If you want more up-to-date add-ons to the grand prize list, you may want to follow Mick Foley's twitter @RealMickFoley.  At about 3:00 P.M. PST, he tweeted that two tickets have been added for NWA Parade of Champions w/ Jim Cornette!

Today's addition: 2 tickets to @TheJimCornette experience #NWAParadeofChampions! https://t.co/NLIcorwLSM

— Mick Foley (@RealMickFoley) March 9, 2016

This information wasn't even on the RAINN site yet!  I'm sure things will update within 24 hours though - it looks like everything else has.

All I know is that if I win, I don't know who I'm going to take and what I will be allowed to film!  I would definitely try to do some sort of documentary for the trip!  That time in film school needs to pay out!  Haha!  I think I'd be way too excited though, haha, but I'd want to show everyone the experience I had (er...will have)!

(Documentary I did on @ToomEGuci, an Indie Manager from Arizona)

An important side note:  If you want to donate BUT you really aren't interested in WrestleMania, you ARE able to gift the grand prize if you win!

So go make your donations and earn your entries to #WrestleManiaDreamVacation at http://rainn.org/wrestlemania NOW!  Last entries are Tuesday, March 15th at 11:59 EST.

And if, for some crazy reason, I do get to go on this crazy dream vacation, make sure to follow me on Twitter @BLoafX for all the fun!

WWE Survivor Series 2015 for Undertaker25! As told in Memes!

It was a Survivor Series...one I wasn't really impressed with unfortunately :(  I'd rate it a 8 out of 69.

Just nothing really stuck out.  The Survivor Series match was severely undersold for its 25th anniversary.  Ending was eeeeeeehhhhhhh.  Oh well, TLC next, let's get it!

Unboxing: The Movie

(Direct Link - http://youtu.be/yIA6Tvsi6yw)

It has been done!!!  Someone has made an unboxing MOVIE! WOOOOOOOO!!!

It came FROM OUTTA NOWHERE!!

Unboxing The Movie was shot in 3 hours!!  It was a lot of fun!!!  More people need to make mail unboxing movies!!  There is a story this time, just like professional wrestling!!! OMFG!!!

Shot on a Nikon D5200 & Canon Powershot S110..

Also, I ordered those four items all in the same order.  They all arrived over the next two months and never within a week of each other.  WWE Shop will probably never get their act together.

A Manager's Day featuring Toom E. Guci

(Direct link to video - http://youtu.be/fPqBd-x1eys)

I originally shot this in August 2014 for a class in college.  I dropped out of college because college was a complete waste of time.  One year later, I finally sat down and edited this over a 3 day period. 

One thing I think I would have done differently would have been to make this a 720 project instead of a 1080 project.  The footage shot on the 5D would have been downed a bit, but everything else was pixeled to death because I wanted to showcase the 5D :(
