Best Coast Bias: Oh, Hell No

Mr. Bryan informing Ms. Lee don't even think about it by saying "No go!"

I really wish the E wasn't already $12 mil up on the game for WrestleMania weekend.

It means a certain level of coasting is involved. It means the attention to detail that an obsessive like me thrives on and is part of the reason why I asked to cover this beat in the first place is allowed to fall by the wayside.

Here, I can get Sheamus cutting nearly the same promo he cut last week and not doing things like bumping like someone 55% of his size and wrestling for a three-segger.  Miz will get a shot at the Intercontinental Championship come WrestleMania next Sunday, though why he'd want a secondary title at this time and point is beyond me.

Does he even know he's no longer going after the US Title but the IC?  No matter: Antonio Cesaro was kicking off the show against Kane.  It didn't matter that he threw a double stomp from the second rope, a Cesaro Lift, several impressive crushing Very European uppercuts, or for that matter found a new way to antagonize the Universe (yodeling) and thus proving that Parts Unknown must be a misnomer that falls somewhere under the collective of U S A!  (according to the subsequent chants that broke out).  Of course, the albatross that is a secondary title felled my mancrush AC despite the fact AJ came out and skipped her lou around the ring; a chokeslam later, the match was done.  Cesaro doesn't even have a thing going into WrestleMania, which is beyond a traveshamockery.  Maybe he can fight Barrett in a unification match where they both get counted out.  Hell, that Daniel Bryan fellow was on the third headset--why not have him against Cesaro, hm?  I liked the allusion to S1 NXT hostilities as much as the next supernerd and him treating Ms. Lee like Voldemort but honestly, this is inevitibilitum at its finest here.

In so far as the amuse bouche for the fully gendered 8 person WM preview match, here's some bullet points that I noted for you going forward: Funkasaurus + Tensai = Tons Of Funk.  What hot garbage that name is: Run-TBC was right there, you punks.  If you're one of those who're like "Um...I can't tell Naomi from Cameron..." the latter kind of looks like Kelly Rowland.  The Bellas haven't lost a step in the ring, which is a slight but not as big as one as it would've been when they first signed on.  And if WWE Creative would like to make up for not using RTBC, then I demand Cameron's using the opponent to propel herself upwards to land a kick to the back of the head be named the Step Up 2 To The Streets enzuigiri.

Boy, am I looking forward to this show in two weeks!  (Is there even going to be a show next week?  Hm.)
