Hi
So, I could make many excuses as to why I haven't consistently updated with a new entry, but the truth is simply that I couldn't be arsed to do it. I thought about doing a storyline review about the invasion angle, but it proved for myself to be a useless effort, again because I couldn't bring myself to do it.
So ... WWE...
I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the Kane/Bryan anger management sessions. It was so wonderfully awkward, it made me laugh. Though I could've done without the "When Harry met Sally" reference and the inevitable appearance of Mae Young. Why they have to be tag champions is beyond me, especially. With all the chatter floating around that Triple H is hell bent on rejuvenating the tag division and injecting some prestige back into it, this is quite a moronic way to begin that.
Speaking of tag teams ... I heard that R-Truth and Kofi Kingston are no longer tagging, because Lil' Jimmy is hitting puberty? Not a single fuck was given. Lil Jimmy may go over really well with the kids, but I find it horribly cringeworthy. About as cringeworthy as Brodus Clay to be exact. Glad he's subscribed to jobbing every week nowadays.
Antonio Cesaro is something different. He apparently is on the rise, racking up wins against - inarguably- enhancement tools such as Tyson Kidd, but the dirt sheets are exclaiming the people in charge are high on him... for now. As much as I adore Claudio's impeccable in-ring prowess, I still can't get over the fact that his gimmick is humongously shit. Being able to exclaim random words in 5 languages, two or three of which are native to his country is ... meh at best. I will now recite "failure" in 5 languages:
"Failure":
"Mislukking"
"Misserfolg"
"Échec"
"Vajaatoiminta"
"Fallimento"
Thank you Google Translate, on some of these.
Speaking of failure, Brooke Hogan is still employed by TNA. Food for thought. I still don't watch their programming, and won't for as long as the Hogan name is actively promoted. I'd almost say I'd rather watch a marathon of Eve Torres matches.
Speaking of which, why is Eve Torres on a winning streak of sorts? She's not particularly talented, even. Give me Kaitlyn any day. Sure she's a little butch, but I'd rather wank myself into a coma over her than Eve. On top of that, she can actually act. She can even wrestle, given the right opponent. Especially with AJ not actively wrestling, pushing someone who doesn't flop about the ring like a clueless valley girl is a good move. Especially for a division that has been fledgling since Lita and Trish retired.
I'm probably going to catch a lot of flack for this, but I don't get the whole Punk/Heyman pairing. Sure, Heyman's a great mouthpiece, but so is Punk. It sort of defeats the purpose of a manager. Surely, Heyman is the kind of guy who could put even Chris Benoit over in a group of soccer moms but I haven't actually seen anything that he added to Punk getting over as a massive heel. In fact, Punk's finest moment in his heel run so far was with Mick Foley, which was when Heyman wasn't even there. Call me crazy, but I'd put Heyman with a guy like Drew McIntyre, who is talented enough, but could do with a mouthpiece. Again, food for thought.
And now I'm going to be a total ass and cut this blog off very abruptly
~D.
At last, an entry. And compared to the previous ones, I've got my 2cents of wisdom to share here.
ReplyDeleteAnger management: heard of, but never seen any of it. Meh.
Tag team division: agreed. Giving the tag championships to a team and give them as many matches as possible would give the belts a bit of prestige. And stipulation matches too (steel cage tornado tag team anyone?)
Brodus Clay: complete waste of time.
Cesaro: not worthy of Santino Marella, lost all interest since he was defeated a few months ago.
failure: échec (though défaillance works but for mechanical failures)
Hogan: no shit was given that day.
TNA: as much as Hogan's case.
Diva division: (see TNA and Hogan for more details)
CM Punk/Heyman: only way to keep Heyman in the loop. Why do I smell like Lesnar will turn on Punk at some point?
And I'll be a 120% ass and just --
now, now :p échec was actually the first word that came up in google translate, but when I pronounced it (impeccably of course)I sounded like the Fonz. (Eéééééé, chec out this motorcycle I built out of matches and tinfoil)
ReplyDeleteActually though, you should go and see the anger management skits. They are hilarious compared to what is usually going on. And Cesaro is awesome. His gimmick may be lame, but his matches are pretty damn good, despite the WWE style of going about things.
