Solomonster Sounds Off

Sound Off 256

Solomonster rather enjoyed the wedding angle on Impact and has praise for the show.  Unfortunately, TNA squandered that goodwill by screwing over their UK fans and so they get an equal amount of scorn this week.  We'll talk what the company should do, at the very least, to make up for their lack of class, plus talk about Raw's 20th anniversary, the absurdity of Super Cena, Eve's WWE departure and where that leaves the Divas division, using Ric Flair to endorse The Miz, why Bobby Heenan hates Tony Schiavone, and a blunt answer on why some fans hate on indy wrestling.

Solomonster is back with a gigantic show covering all of this week's major events, including Rock and CM Punk's first confrontation, Alberto Del Rio winning the World title and how this may affect WrestleMania plans, Mick Foley announced for the Hall of Fame and addressing the "glorified stuntman" tag, El Generico heading to WWE, what his signing says about Colt Cabana remaining a free agent, a rant on "Super Schmuck" Billy Graham and his latest tirade on CM Punk, TNA announces a new PPV structure for 2013, Bully Ray pops the question to Brooke Hogan, addressing what really ended the career of Nigel McGuinness, and should there be a WCW Monday Nitro one-night reunion?  Two hours this week and well worth your time.

Sound Off 254

Last week, Solomonster said that if Antonio Cesaro could get Great Khali up for the Neutralizer on Main Event that he would record the Sound Off in a Swiss accent.  Well, that Cesaro is one strong SOB.  I'm also a man of my word, so I apologize in advance to anyone with a Swiss accent for butchering their native tongue.  This week, we'll talk about one idea for the Rock/Punk match that hasn't really been mentioned yet, WWE stealing ideas from TNA, the atrocious Mae Young skits from Raw, praise for the Knockouts match on Impact, Sting's unbelievably LAME comeback on Thursday, the status of Shelton Benjamin and WWE, and will CM Punk ever be as big of a star as John Cena?

Sound Off 253

It's a special TWO HOUR Year in Review edition of the Sound Off, looking back at some of the best (and worst) of WWE and TNA in 2012.  Plus, predictions for 2013, including a bold statement about the future of the Divas division in WWE and the three names from NXT to watch for.

Sound Off 252

Solomonster is back with live thoughts from WWE's recent stop at MSG, including the New Age Outlaws, Tensai singing holiday tunes, and John Cena rally monkeys (oh yes).  Plus, thoughts on a very polarizing Christmas Eve edition of Raw, a "Bro Off" on Impact, the final word on why Aces and Eights is such a failure, what TNA needs to do to make it to the next level, and the greatest wrestlers to never be World champion.  The first of TWO new shows this week, so have a Happy New Year!

Sound Off 251

Solomonster is full of holiday cheer with a 90-minute Christmas edition of the Sound Off!  After watching a ridiculous amount of wrestling this week (much of which was quite good), he has live thoughts from the TLC PPV in Brooklyn with a candidate for MOTY and why the show felt like a changing of the guard, unbearable hype for the WWE app, Ric Flair's return on Raw, why the Slammies need to die, defending Tensai as a comedy figure, Great Khali's new Twitter and an idea for a new Fan Axxess attraction, Hulk Hogan wanting the TNA World title, booking Jack Swagger's return, defining each of WWE's eras over the years, and what's the most disappointing PPV in recent memory?  A packed show, so hit the eggnog and turn up the volume.  Happy holidays!!

Sound Off 250

Solomonster celebrates 250 episodes by trying to prove he can karaoke better than Big Show (and fails miserably in the process).  It's all uphill from there as he gives his thoughts on the importance of finishers in wrestling, TLC PPV predictions, CODY's MOUSTACHE, Miz getting very non-PG on Raw, the Slammy Awards and what should win Match of the Year, possible turns for Orton and Del Rio, Macho Man HOF update, an irritating episode of Impact, the difference between pro wrestling and spot fests, and has the time come for Kurt Angle to retire?

Sound Off 249

Much to cover in this week's 90-minute Sound Off, including the latest on CM Punk's knee injury and a new main event for the TLC PPV, Raw does its lowest audience in 15 years, looking back at some of Kane's greatest matches, why the Brad Maddox stuff makes no sense, predictions for TNA's Final Resolution, will the Hardys return to WWE in 2013, remembering Umaga, Brian Pillman as World champion, and Solomonster has a request for Jim Ross after comments made in his most recent blog.  A big show, so enjoy!

Sound Off 248

Solomonster has a packed show this week covering Raw's ratings collapse, thoughts on THE SHIELD and their first interview, phony Twitter polls, giving away Cena vs. Ziggler on Raw, a GREAT match between Sheamus and Cesaro, Undertaker's rumored opponent for WrestleMania, The Ascension is no more (or is it?), TNA bringing Lockdown to the Alamodome and the absurdity of Hogan giving Austin Aries a title shot.  Plus... turning Zack Ryder heel, thoughts on the American Badass gimmick and after seven years, do you view Kurt Angle as a WWE or TNA guy?

Sound Off 247

Solomonster rants on Black Friday, praises Austin Aries and a fun edition of Impact, talks about the debuts of Ambrose/Rollins/Reigns and why they are the future, other NXT names possibly being promoted, a disturbing trend in WWE and the reason why Raw often feels like Groundhog Day, potential choices for Royal Rumble winner, the WrestleMania "bus" controversy, Vince McMahon's old Playboy interview, and who do you think is the better role model - Rock or Cena?  Someone get Heyman his balloons!
