Weekend Recap (5/6/16 - 5/8/16)

Friday (5/6):


  • Went to Flame Broiler for dinner. Biko ran out of the door when Vince was getting his wallet. So he gave Biko to me while I was waiting inside the car. She stayed in the car even when we went to Sports Authority.
  • Played some Overwatch

Saturday (5/7):

  • Woke up early morning to watch "Captain America: Civil War." That movie easily exceeded "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and they made better use of their huge cast with primary and secondary characters.
  • Walked over to Celestial Comics to grab a few free comics. It was Free Comic Book Day. We used to look forward to this event. Now, not so much.
  • Went home to rest a bit before looking at another new house with Vince's parents and a with a new realtor. It was a unique house but we really didn't like it. We have to look again.
  • Went to eat at Gen for an early Mother's Day dinner. Then we walked around Galleria at Sunset before heading home.
  • I passed out and fell asleep for 3-4 hours before waking up around midnight. Then I went back to sleep.

Sunday (5/8):
  • Went to buy some groceries at Costco and Trader Joe's and got new food for the kitties at PetSmart.
  • Watched ROH Global Wars. Count on ROH to give you surprises and push people in the right direction.
  • Somewhere around Sunday evening and Monday morning, SOME ASSHOLE SMASHED MY WINDOW TO BREAK INTO MY CAR. You know what's funny about that? Aside from stealing my prescription sunglasses, it's been nearly exactly 2 YEARS SINCE MY CAR WAS LAST BROKEN INTO. IN THE SAME SPOT!

What to expect for Monday Night RAW:

The major storyline centers around Reigns and his Usos Roman Empire vs Styles and his Not Bullet Club. So there will be more of that gray area between both teams. I've grown from not liking to Reigns to being indifferent to him, mostly because I'm just tired of being frustrated with him. WWE is clearly pushing their guy and even spinning it that it's fun to boo Reigns. His feud is only interesting because of Styles' involvement and whether Gallows and Anderson are going to be loyal to him or to Balor, should he get called up at some point.

The other storylines are getting some development as well, especially in light of last week's Black Friday. This explains why Fandango has been getting some screen time as of late and why Darren Young suddenly has Bob Backlund as his life coach. However, it doesn't explain why there has been a lot less screen time for the women's division. The main feuds are Charlotte vs Natalya and Becky vs Emma. Sasha hasn't had a TV match in nearly a month. Tamina and Naomi are apparently out due to an injury and Paige and Summer Rae are not being used.

It was recently confirmed that Kalisto will be defending his US title against #1 contender Rusev at Extreme Rules, meaning that the US title is most likely to change hands. I don't mind Rusev getting the title because his character has blossomed into this wonderfully talkative and charismatic heel instead of the generic foreign brute. 

As for Jericho and Ambrose, well, there's not much happening on that front. To be honest, while I was glad that Ambrose finally got a PPV win, I felt that the match wasn't their best. I'm not sure if there will be a Jericho vs Ambrose II and if there is one, I see it happening as a Pre-Show. Besides, there's nothing at stake here except for Jericho's ego. Add to the fact that this whole feud started when the Ambrose Asylum replaced The Highlight Reel. Oh and Mitch The Plant's death.
