TSS:No Holds Barred

Alex will be 18 on Sunday, so this is his last show as a "minor!" Now he can legally sign himself out of school, buy cigarettes, and scratch tickets!

Alex discusses the John Cena "firing" storyline, and says that it does harm to everybody involved. It does harm to Wade Barrett, John Cena, and makes all future PPV stipulations look like a joke.

Alex also gives his take on the emerging heel character of Michael Cole, Miz vs. Randy Orton, and the total failure of John Morrison's face character. The continue Edge/Kane feud, and where it's leading, as well as the handling of Alberto Del Rio is discussed too.

The "piledrivin' post of the week" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) is handed out in the "Finisher" segment, where MVP's release from the WWE is talked about.

"The Alex Reimer Show" airs this Saturday in its new permanent time slot from 1-3 PM EST on 1120 AM WBNW Boston, www.moneymattersradio.net, and www.livestream.com/wbnw1120.

Alex breaks down a litany of topics after taking last week off due to the Thanksgiving weekend. He starts by analyzing Survivor Series, and whether the events that have transpired on RAW the past couple of weeks has virtually deemed that PPV to be irrelevant. Is that the wisest thing for a company that wants to increase its PPV numbers?

John (or Juan) Cena never really left, which leads to the question, "why write an angle which you have no intention on following up on?" Also, was the right decision made to have The Miz win the WWE Championship on free TV opposed to PPV? How long will The Miz's title reign last?

The continued emergence of Michael Cole's histrionic heel character, Sheamus winning "King of the Ring," and Edge's feud with Kane are discussed too. Are the Syfy executives maybe behind Kane's rather lengthy run as World Heavyweight Champion? (Don't worry, Alex explains that line of reasoning).

The "piledrivin' post of the week" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) is handed out, and in the "Finisher" segment, Alex recaps an interview Shelton Benjamin gave upon getting released from the WWE.

Alex answers all of the questions submitted to him on the message boards this week (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards). The questions covered a variety of fascinating topics, from TNA's future to who the 5 most undervalued guys in WWE history are.

Alex praises this week's "old school" edition of RAW, as they did a great job balancing nostalgia with building the current product. The "Piper's Pit" segment was one of the best sells for a PPV match in a long time.

Jim Ross returned to call Daniel Bryan/Jack Swagger, and Alex talks about how according to Vince McMahon, JR represents wrestling from a "bygone era." Michael Cole is a "TV host," whereas JR is a "wrestling announcer." Vince now views his shows are TV programs, and not wrestling events.

Survivor Series is this Sunday. Will Edge win the World Heavyweight Championship from Kane? How will they play John Cena? Will he turn full-fledged heel, or will there be "confusion" in regards to the finisher (for the record, Alex feels that Wade Barrett defeats Randy Orton for the WWE Championship).

"The Alex Reimer Show" airs Saturday from 4-6 PM EST on 1120 AM WBNW Boston, www.moneymattersradio.net, and www.livestream.com/wbnw1120.

No show next week due to Thanksgiving. Episode 254 of "No Holds Barred" will be published on Friday, December 3rd!

Alex recaps this week's edition of RAW, where more intrigue was added to the Randy Orton/Wade Barrett match at Survivor Series. Will the WWE use this as an opportunity to really shake up John Cena's character? Will they go "all the way" and turn him heel (or even can they)?

Alex also gives his opinion on the Santino/Sheamus "Tea Party" and says that he was completely wrong about the program involving those two.

On Smackdown, Alex gives his take on the build to Edge and Kane. Is Edge going to win the title from Kane? If he does, is he just going to serve as a transitional champion until the Undertaker returns from injury? Where does David Otunga go from here, after pinning Edge due to interference?

The "piledrivin' post of the week" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) is handed out, and in the "Finisher" segment, Alex talks about "WWE Old School" next Monday night and whether it's the best use of television time.

Next Friday (11/19), you guys will pick the topics! Alex has a thread on the message board that is opened up to questions/comments from the listeners!

"The Alex Reimer Show" airs Saturday from 4-6 PM EST (this week, 11/13, it will likely air closer to 4:30 due to Harvard football kicking off at 1:30) on 1120 AM WBNW Boston, www.moneymattersradio.net, and www.livestream.com/wbnw1120.

Alex talks about a plethora of wrestling-related topics, including how the end of Linda McMahon's Senate campaign will affect the on-air presentation of the WWE product. Will we now see less of the "Stand Up for the WWE" vignettes?

Alex also talks about this week's edition of RAW, and how the Wade Barrett and John Cena storyline continues to progress. The comedy on RAW this week was pretty good, so thus the show was pretty good. But is that a good commentary on the product as a whole?

David Otunga led Nexus (without Barrett) into Smackdown this week, and Nexus lost a main event tag team match. Will that factor into the Otunga/Barrett storyline?

The "piledrivin' post of the week" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) is handed out, and in the "Finisher" segment, Alex asks the question, "is Vince McMahon really a nice guy?"
