I am ranting! (insert spoiler warning here)

[FourFifty]

<font color=cyan>Okay, I’m just going to take a second to rant about wrestling… Contains some spoilers, some nonsense, and some stuff I thought I’d never say. Just quick blurbs on whatever comes to mind.

First and foremost, if Hardcore Holly wins the title, I am so going to cry. Between the Nazi salute and how Bradshaw talked about the governor of New Jersey, he’s no longer a deserving champion. I’m hoping the hardcore match is just a set up for Booker T’s face turn.

So VinneMac was pissed at Flair for his “virgin” promo. Persoanlly, I was laughing my ass of at it! And hey, since ratings were higher during the first hour of Raw, maybe that entertaining promo had something to do with it.

SmackDown was disappointing. It’s not “Oh, well, at least I’ll be able to do captions” disappointing. It’s, “F</>uck this, I’m gonna play City Of Heros” disappointing. Are they “Gail Kimming” the US title by having someone win it on their TV debut? What next? Simon Dean wins the intercontinental title on his debut? Well, that, I wouldn’t mind seeing. What’s the difference between someone on SmackDown winning a secondary title, and someone on Raw winning a secondary title? Maybe it’s the fact that I have no idea who this Carlito guy is, and we all know that Nova can get it done in the ring.

I REALLY don’t wanna see Kane leave the WWE. He’s entertaining, and quite frankly, I don’t think that Mr. Jacobs would be anything without the Kane gimmick. Oh, he can be a dentist or a trucker… Pfft! His ring work is totally decent, and his promos are turning into classics! “Liiiiiiitaaaaaa!” As much as I dislike the Kane/Lita angle, it has given Kane more time behind the mic.

Yep, I’ve been watching wrestling for too long. A few weeks ago I was a little troubled, so I decided that if I want to get anywhere in life I need to train, say my prayers, and take my vitamins. At which point I took a red shirt out of my closet and realized the joys of Hulkamania. In addition to that I’ve decided that I’m going to go for a heel turn at work. When you’re a face, when people like you, you need to give them a reminder why they like you. When you’re a heel, you don’t need to remind people why they don’t like you because people are stupid… Well maybe not a heel turn, but a gimmick change would make things interesting.

Well, that’s all I have to say. Thank you for your time, now I’m off to the races… and by that I mean the metaphorical rat races where my boss is a 298 pound jockey riding my ass to work harder when he’s the biggest slacker I’ve ever seen.

I gave my thoughts before on this, but I'm going to go as a little more in depth.

Right now on Smackdown, they have tried pushing a number of young guys and all have really failed to get over, except for Cena and now Reigns. You could say that part of the problem is that they have no wrestling skills or no mic skills, but that's only half of it IMO.

You see, the problem is they build these guys up for weeks in promo vids (for some of them) and then they do absolutely nothing with them. In the WWE today, you have to make an impact real quick with guys or the audience will just forget about them being any kind of a threat later. These new guys are doing jobs before they even have a chance to get over and that kills them right away. It makes the audience go "Well he's nothing special, he just jobbed to Charlie Haas, who has done nothing the past year.

If you look at the quick pushes of the young guys the WWE gave the past couple of years, you have Orton, Cena (although he jobbed to Taker a couple of times and shouldn't have) Brock and WGTT (won the tag Titles really quick)

All of them were pushed quick as heels and all of them were pretty over and looked like threats when they got pushed. Remember Cena got a shot at the WWF Title right after he turned heel? How did you feel about that? I loved the way they booked that feud between him and Brock.

I just don't understand when people say "he doesn't deserve to get anything because he's new." Why not? Why would you bury these new guys, who can actually work, in the lower cards in today's day and age. CCC looked great last night on the mic and in the ring. Cena had to go film a movie, so he needed to put someone over. And you now what, they just made a guy last night. What, should they have given the belt to RVD? Jindrack? Haas? Booker T? These are nice choices and all, but these guys have jobbed so many times the past year that giving them the Belt does nothing.

With CCC, he comes in acting like a punk, he thinks he "cooler" then everyone else, he thinks he's a better wrestler then everyone else and you know what, he just proved himself (in character) that he can get the job done. He just beat John Cena and won the US Title in his very first match. Don't you think they fans are saying to himself "Wow, this guy is for real, I can't believe he just won the Title." That's exactly what the WWE needs right now, strong characters who the fans can give a rat's ass about as champions.

Now if they make him job the title two weeks later, then they are out of there minds.

god you analyse this as if its actually real...LOL

How many times did they use words like "character," "face turn," "gimmick," "push," "over," "job," "book," and "bury?"

We're not analyzing this as if its real. We're analyzing it like you would a movie that bombs. "Wow, the writing in the second act was horrible!" "I like Brad Pitt and all, but I totally didn't buy him in that role." "Who do you think is going to be in the sequel?"

You, sir, are - as they say in Nicaragua - an "idiot."

[Loose Cannon]

don't pay any attention to him. He's just your everyday troll.

[Deceit]

Carlito is fucking awesome.

[The CyNick]

LC covered the Triple C win very well.

The only thing I would add is that the way guys used to built up cant be done anymore. Back in the day you would introduce a guy with vignettes, and then bring him to TV to squash JOB guys. He's get his offence over, and people would get to know his character.

Nowadays without squash matches being a regular part of TV you have to throw a guy into the mix right away. I thought they did the right thing with Carlito, but one night can be meningless if its not followed up on properly.

As for Holly winning the title, to say I would be shocked if that were to happen would be the understatement of the millenium. I think Holly is just there as a TV program and to give JBL a win, which he really needs. Then they'll transition into whatever plan they have for SurvSer (Big Show likely).

I find JBL entertaining, and really he hasn't killed business by any means, but at the same time I do think they need to get the title on one of the guys the fans see as a real top guy in order to start the build towards Wrestlemania.

Couldn't they have found a better name for CCC? Ah well...at least I can watch SD for Angle and JBL...
