The Raw LD lacks a creative title because I'm a moron

Well, I apologize for calling you a dumbfuck.

But explain this please, how do you tell in a match if there's psychology and story telling?

Psychology is generally defined as bringing aspects of realism to the match. Are the wrestlers trying to focus in on certain body parts and setting themselves up fora win strategically, or are they just trying to hit the flashiest moves? Are they selling appropriately, or haphazardly selling moves?

Storytelling is harder to define, but you can usually tell if it has it or not. Stuff like how long the heel has control vs. the face, when the face makes their comeback, if/how the heel stifles that comeback, and how one competitor tries to finish one off while the other tries to stop them.

The only psychology in the Ziggler/Orton match was when Ziggler tried to win by count out. After that it was just one flashy move after another, with no real logic to why they were hitting them.

And what was the story of the match? Ziggler tried to win by countout with the help of his manager, but after that failed what was the story? Orton came back and they just traded flashy moves for a while. Nobody really ever took control or built momentum, there was no drama, no spice, no pop.
 
It gets coverage because it was the eastern U.S. where all the media is. Katrina didn't get close to that much coverage before it happened. They're trying to make it seem like it's as devasting as Katrina or Andrew were and it's not even fucking close. They show clips of flooding happening that's all of 6 inches with people recording it and drinking beer. Guess what, flash floods happen all the damn time in the South...get over it. Just another reason I hate the media

I'm sorry if your levees can't save your home foundations my friend, but unfortunately a disaster is a disaster no matter who,where and "how many". If a company wants to advertise a charity thats you know, going to aid the ones in need I don't see a reason why the substantiated circumstances need to play a role in it.

Just to add...for the best example of this in recent memory, see Punk vs Cena at MITB. That match was a 5-star classic for more than just the cool spots it had
 
Of those things that are most impressive tonight, I enjoy that they're giving these matches enough time. Not sure how long Randy Orton vs Dolph Ziggler went, but this is a long match.
 
People with large trees near by? One of those son of a bitches crushed my grandmas car, my brothers car and fell on the power line.

Sorry I live in Florida so hearing so my views about hurricanes are kinda black and white.

Hurricane Whilma fucked up Florida leaving everything other than North Florida without power and running water. Less people died and that was a category 3 hurricane. But that was because when the news channels told us. "If you live near the beach, get away from the beach!" We moved as close inland as we could. And during Andrew when they told us to evacuate, we evacuated.

The people who are dumb enough to think they're safe to live in a tent during a 40-45 mile per hour wind really have it coming, you can't fix stupid.
