[Afterlife]

O.K., for the past year or so, they would build up Stevie with a storyline (good or bad) and then just kill it at the time it actually began. Stevie hooks up with Victoria, Victoria starts winning matches, they break up. Stevie goes over Test and Steiner, Test gets hurt, kill the story. For whatever retarded reason, Stevie becomes mystery woman, improvised altercation with Tomko, kill the story. Now, at the point for a decent entry into a decent storyline, they appear to be entirely snubbing it form the get-go.

WHY, oh WHY did Masters beat Richards? AS anyone can see, after Richards was hurt, they put Masters in the infinitely boring and wasteful "Masterlock Invitational" for the whole three months it took for Stevie to heal up. So then Stevie comes back for revenge, and for some reason that surpasses my understanding, he is defeated. But not only is he defeated, he gets "knocked out" by the Full Nelson, seemingly without even harming the Masterpiece.

My first question when watching this horrible scene was "Why does it take your arm to drop three times in a headlock before you're out, but it only takes one drop from a full nelson? What's the difference? My second question was...what the FUCK?!

I understand I'm arguably the biggest Stevie mark here, and I also understand the he's not a hugely popular guy in the first place. But at least he can put on a SHOW. Masters has hardly entertained anyone; he's not booed b/c he's a heel, he's booed b/c HE'S A WASTE OF FIFTEEN MINUTES EVERY WEEK.

They'd better keep this fued going. ANd Stevie better beat the bastard. Otherwise...well...I'll write a very nasty letter!
