Comment of the Week
The featured Ring Posts comment for the week of Jan. 11-17 comes from Cliff, who responded to the entry “Mike Tyson's appearance on Raw earns split decision.”
Here is Cliff's comment:
Here is my wrestling version of Jeff Foxworthy's "You Might Be a Redneck." I call it "You Might Be a McMahon."
If you think that scripted promos are better than wrestlers coming up with their own, you might be a McMahon.
If you have your top heel win the Royal Rumble, make him look stronger than ever, and then book him to lose in a match at Wrestlemania to Triple H, you might be a McMahon.
If you think 20 world title changes in a year makes your world titles look prestigious, you might be a McMahon.
If you think having people who have no idea about professional wrestling guest hosting your flagship show is a good idea, you might be a McMahon.
If you remove blood from your programming, making Hell in a Cell matches, Anything Goes matches, and Ladder matches look less compelling to watch, you might be a McMahon.
If you think constant gimmick pay-per-views don't ruin the uniqueness of gimmick matches, you might be a McMahon.
If you take an exciting wrestler like Evan Bourne and make him a jobber to the stars, you might be a McMahon.
If you book a midget leprechaun to defeat a hard worker who comes from a praised wrestling family week after week, you might be a McMahon.
If you put the WWE title on a taller leprechaun who's only been in the WWE for six months and hadn't done a damn thing but beat Goldust on ECW, you might be a McMahon.
If you think WWE is good right now, you might be a McMahon...or Kevin Eck.

That comment did a better heel turn than AJ Styles.

(BTW, lol at the shot at Eck at the end. Good post, though.)

I read this comment and I knew it would get comment of the week. It was just too amusing to let it pass.

Bravo to you for having a sense of humor, Kevin.
That was pretty funny. ;)

And lose to Goldie and 'climb the ladder' by beating Jamie Noble, Santino, MVP, and Evan Bourne...

That was good man!

off topic, but once again the name of TNA Impact was changed in my programming schedule, so while my DVR has been recording "TNA Wrestling" for like a freaking year straight, I missed the first half hour of the show because "TNA Impact" was not in my Program List. This can ONLY happen with TNA.

Hey Kev,
Completely off the record:
I just noticed that, if I am not mistaken, since 2000 the Rumble match has been won by a different wrestler. Following this logic, who would you bet will win the Rumble, if we assume it will be someone who has never won it before? Here are my favourites:
1. Chris Jericho
2. CM Punk
3. Koffi Kingston
4. Ted di Biase
5. John Morrison
6. Jeff Hardy! [It's just wild dreaming, I know...]

Couldn't agree more...that came out of left field.

Completely unrelated but I just read your raw post... I agree with you 90% of the time. Except I don't get what you see in Swagger. He's awkward in his entrance, that pointing to himself angrily and you can't tell if he is goofy smiling or mad. He's below par on mic skills especially with that destracting lisp. Cody Rhodes and Jack need to be sent to speech therapy so it doesn't sound like 5 year olds are cutting kindergarten promos. Sure he can wrestle but as we see that gets you nowhere. Just wondering... *down w/ SHAMEus & Thwagger*

To Mr. Bronson: The thing about Swagger, at least to me, isn't that he's all that great, but he kind of represents what's wrong with the way talent is used on RAW. He was built up to be a credible champion in ECW, came to RAW with some momentum, and has just been buried. Fans would have bought Swagger in the role that Seamus has, more then they have Seamus, at least. Evan Bourne is similar; he had a ton of momentum on ECW, but he comes to RAW and just jobs and jobs and jobs, for no reason. It's hard for fans to get behind a guy, because you never know when the WWE will decide it's time for his anti-push.
