So has the WWE actually turned to self parody?
I'm looking at the Boogeyman, and wondering if they could have come up with any shittier a performer. I mean, the guy's only redeeming quality seems to be he's so shitty, it's actually a little funny (Kinda like Uma Thurman, but without a decent body).

Now, Flair's been over the top even more than usual, and Michaels has been acting a little...Crazy (Like when he's giving camera instructions, or when he TOTALLY oversells the shock of someone coming out). The "Network" angle which introduced the Boogeyman also seems like self parody, even though it was introduced to take shots at UPN.

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”

Shawn Michaels over the topness has made him one of my favourite wrestlers. Some of his over the top highlights:

1. His Hulk Hogan Parody. That was the best thing I've ever seen since whatching Raw.

2. Overselling Hogan's Big Boot. When he got kicked, got up then flew backwards, I loved it.

3. His reaction to Master's calling him old. He just started laughing and dancing around the ring.

Michaels rocks.

Has anyone noticed how non-Austin Stone Cold has been of late? When Austin was in the promo with Stephanie, he hopped around the ring with buck teeth. That's something he would have never done six years ago.

I thought it was more him acting out because the WWE were trying to strongarm him.

Back in 98, he would have crippled Vince and shoved something up his ass.

Well, it was inspired by the Bookerman...

...It was thinking about the Boogeyman debut segment that I really started to wonder if this was a total pisstake on their own product. Other examples started to spring to mind (Including Michaels, who'd been amusing me for weeks), and I started to wonder if this was more than just some retarded segment.

Intentional or no, they've gone from campy to self-parody.

I want it to be known that I adore the Boogeyman.


I don't know how good he is in the ring, but at this point, I couldn't care. I got a kick out of him when I first saw him on Smackdown, and last week as well.
