Highlight Reel: Game Over for Triple H

In Highlight Reel, 3MB will check out funny and interesting wrestling videos.

For anyone who hasn't seen RAW this week, here's a few things you should know.

• Daniel Bryan, Kane and Harold stole the show.
• Ryder was on RAW.
• CM Punk was in the Main Event Triple H kinda retired.

Triple H stood in the middle of the ring and gave an emotional speech to the crowd about how his loss to Brock Lesnar may be the end of career.Rather than show you the promo, ReyFearsPsychosis sums up Triple H's retirement in 18 seconds.

It's okay, Triple H. We've all had the "Game Over" feeling at least once in our lives, but the important thing is to dust yourself off, insert 2 more coins and try again.

Cheap Pop: Saturday Morning Slam

In Cheap Pop, Three Man Booth Discuss Random Topics 


with a Slight Historical Bend

When the WWE first announced that they were returning to Saturday Morning television, the first thing that ran through my head was the familiar twang - familiar because it was a Monday Night Football ripoff - of the song affectionately referred in my house as as "Diesel: Cool. Undertaker:"

The fondest memories I have from this time when Saturday Mornings consisted of Cartoons, Wrestling and bowls of Bill and Ted's Excellent Cereal are also the most random, mostly likely due to the sugar consumption: The Ultimate Warrior bleeding black goo, puking uncontrollably due to a Papa Shango curse; The British Bulldog, defending the Intercontinental Championship against the Repo Man "hours before" facing Shawn Michaels on Saturday Night's Main Event in a second title bout; Bret Hart - the WWF's fighting-est World Champion - giving a Title Shot to Virgil (Seriously! THIS happened!); Cursing whatever baseball teams that week preempted WWF Superstars, Papa Shango style. The adventures in the World Wrestling Federation blended nicely with the fantasy moments on found on Saturday mornings. It was effective then; it makes sense that, with Saturday Morning Slam, the WWE would try it again.

When the location for Wrestlemania 29 was revealed to be the MetLife stadium in New Jersey, all New York wrestling fans, confused, had the following questions:

• Why New Jersey
• Why not MSG?
• SERIOUSLY, WHY NEW JERSEY?!?

Every time Michael Cole proclaims that Wrestlemania 29 will hail from the "NY/NJ Area," New Yorkers die a little. First of all, the NY/NJ area is not a place; the MetLife Stadium is New York adjacent at best. Second of all, the term "NY/NJ" didn't work out for the NY/NJ Hitmen or the XFL, either. 

But 3MB may have discovered the real reason behind the venue swerve. According to an article in the New York Metro, New Yorkers have honesty issues: Honest Tea set up stands filled with their drink and a jar asking for $1 as payment. New York City, on the whole did well in this experiment: 92% of people paid. Brooklyn, on its own, itself did not: It scored 61%.

As Brooklynites, we’re a little ashamed of these results, particularly if this is one of the reasons New York was not chosen to host Wrestlemania again. That being said, 61% is still pretty good! Plus, in Brooklyn, someone tried to the duct tape that was on the stand? That was not part of the study but, to quote JTG:

"That's Really Hood! Cheah!"

So That Happened: 08/20/12

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman address the WWE Universe.

I can't hear Lesnar's theme without envisioning that super fan dude doing the Brock Hippity Hop. #WWE #RAW

Cheap Pop: Heroes Of Summerslam

.

Last night, the WWE went all out with their 25th Anniversary of Summerslam. Just like Wrestlemania, there were matches, live performances and celebrities. Also, like Wrestlemania, the Superstars decided to switch up their gear and pay tribute to their favorite Superheroes. While 3MB is not Fashion Police, we're going to look at some of these gear changes and point out the clear winners and losers of the evening.

Highlight Reel: The Summerslam Dilemma

In Highlight Reel, 3MB will check out funny and interesting wrestling videos.

As you know, Summerslam is this Sunday and it is WWE's biggest Pay-Per-View of the summer. As you also know, WWE Pay-Per-Views are pretty pricey, so sometimes in order to order the show, you have to sacrifice something else you were interested in purchasing. ReyFearsPsychosis sums up this dilemma perfectly with a parody of a the classic "Lisa Needs Braces" clip from The Simpsons Episode, "Last Exit To Springfield."

If you were Homer, Which one would you choose?

So That Happened: 08/13/12

I think CM Punk forgot and this crowd forgot he was a heel.

The WWE is really embracing the Social Media aspects of RAW. In addition to Tout, they've also been enlisting people to be Social Media Ambassadors (Not a Thing) on Twitter (A Thing: Follow 3ManBooth). DJ Pauly D (Also, Not a Thing) is the first "Ambassador" since the Charlie Sheen Commotion of RAW 1000. Unfortunately, his Ambassadorness could not save him from this Social Media Gaff.

Our 3ManBooth Tumblr caught the mis-tweet

Too bad the match he was supposed to be tweeting about a Divas Tag Team Match, Layla and Kaitlyn versus Beth Phoenix and Eve. Maybe the Anonymous RAW General Manager gave him some misinformation.

At least he didn't Tout it!

The Meme Event: Fantasy GM AJ

In The Meme Event, 3MB shares wrestling inspired Memes.

Earlier in the week, we posted an article about Five Nerdy Things AJ Lee should do as RAW General Manager. As fun as that article was, another fun thing to do was to come up with pictures for it. So, we at 3MB present to you our latest meme: Fantasy GM AJ!

Between BarbershopWindow.com and TurnbuckleTees.com, I'm constantly saying "Shut Up and Take My Money!" While these sites are devoted specifically to wrestling themed t-shirts, the crossover nature of professional wrestling is often referenced on other websites. RiptApparel.com, a Design a Day t-shirt site, currently has a shirt on that combines Wrestling with Pokémon.

There is a crossover fanbase between the two worlds (I can think of a certain RAW General Manager, certainly). Also, I like the nod to the World Wildlife Fund parody found all over the internet.

Highlight Reel: Booker T's Smackdown GM Theme Revealed

In Highlight Reel, 3MB will check out funny and interesting wrestling videos.

We at 3MB have focused a lot on RAW's New General Manager, AJ Lee. Now, it's time for Smackdown's New General Manager, Booker T to get some attention. With a new position, the Mysterio Loathing Lucha, ReyFearsPsychosis, felt Booker T's theme needed an upgrade, something fitting his title as Smackdown GM:

If you're a fan of rap music, Booker's new theme will sound familiar, but the Booker T audio makes the song even better. Now can you dig THAT?

....... No, seriously. Can you? Let us know what you think.

I Have Til 5: Five Nerdy Things AJ Lee should do as RAW General Manager

 In I Have Til 5, 3MB will Pick a Topic and Discuss the 5 Finer Points of it

The WWE has had its fair share of unique Divas: Ms. Elizabeth is the First Lady of the WWE, Sunny is the Most Downloaded Diva of the WWE (on AOL), and Beth Phoenix is the Glamazon of the WWE, just to name a few. But AJ Lee is the WWE's first Geek Goddess

Now our Geek Goddess has become the General Manager of Monday Night RAW.  Couple that with her status as the Most Influential Female Athlete on Twitter, AJ wields great power. Fortunately, she knows that this power comes with great responsibility. And as GM, she has the power to make Monday Night Raw reflect some of her personality. We at 3MB came up with some ideas that could be implemented to make RAW is AJ.

So, That Happened: 08/06/12

RAW starts off with a new theme song and opening.

Tonight's The Night. Rap Rap Rap Rap Rap Rap Riggity Rap. *New RAW Theme*

The Meme Event: Disappointed Diva

In The Meme Event, 3MB shares wrestling inspired Memes.

WWE's Divas Division has always been a topic of discussion among wrestling fans. Some fans love it. Some hate it. Some want Lita to come back (Even if she's happily retired.), And some just think it's the perfect time for a bathroom break. But recently, Diva Detractors and Enthusiasts have been asking the same question: Where Are They??

The Divas have never gotten a lot of screen time, but with RAW's upgrade to 3 Hours and a female RAW General Manager, many fans assumed that the focus on the Divas Division would shift. It did, but now the Divas Division has gone from 3 minutes matches to a backstage segment if they're lucky. And while we're happy to see AJ Lee in a prominent role and hear Vickie Guerrero destroy our ear drums, it'd still be nice to see Layla, Beth Phoenix, Natalya and even the Handsome Eve Torres in the ring once or twice a week.

So since the WWE isn't putting the spotlight on the Divas, we at 3MB decided to give them some attention with our latest meme: Disappointed Diva

Highlight Reel: Layla vs. Sofia Vergara

In Highlight Reel, 3MB will check out funny and interesting wrestling videos.

WWE Diva's Champion Layla and Modern Family's Sofia Vergara have a few things in common. They're drop dead gorgeous. Their accents drive men crazy. They're both on the Maxim Hot 100. They've both have a blonde tag team partner.

Laycool vs. Claire and Gloria? Book it, AJ Lee!

And last but not least, they both have similar dance moves.

While an animated gif is worth 1,000 words. The video made by ReyFearsPsychosis is even better. Enjoy this mashup of Layla channeling Sofia Vergara's dance moves from her Hunger Games sketch on Saturday Night Live.

 In this dream match, everyone's a winner.

Highlight Reel: Velvet in the Sky with Pigeons

In Highlight Reel, 3MB will check out funny and interesting wrestling videos.

Last Week, Velvet Sky announced that she parted ways with iMPACT Wrestling. Not only have we lost a valuable TNA Knockout, but we also lost the catchphrase: "Let The Pigeons Loose." There are many Velvet Sky tribute videos out there, but I think ReyFearsPsychosis summed our feelings up perfectly.

We'll miss you, pigeons Velvet.

The Meme Event: Racially Insensitive Tensai

In The Meme Event, 3MB shares wrestling inspired Memes.

3MB is no stranger to Wrestling Memes. Last month, we brought you Kanetradictions; A 3MB created Meme that pokes fun at the many contradictions Kane has had with his character over the past 15 years. This time, we present to you "Racially Insensitive Tensai."

This meme is based off the racially insensitive comment Tensai Touted on Tuesday regarding Mr. Sakamoto and his driving. We have more memes on our Facebook and Tumblr pages, so be sure to check them out. Also, while you're there, be sure to like us/reblog us. We promise the only Vampire Requests we'll send your way are comments about Gangrel.

Enjoy! Here's one more for the road.
