Good monday evening everybody!! As many of you may know mondays are for one thing and one thing only..WRESTLING! Yes! Not football not whatever maybe on but wrestling. Now im a bit of a wrestling geek and im proud to admit it. This blog is dedicated to the wrestling geek in all of us.
Now i admit the WWE isnt what it use to be. Like many fans i long for the chair to the head. Foul language. Blood and gore that was wrestling. The almost always guarentee of blood in the main event of every pay per view. But now its replaced with chants of lets go Cena, Cena sucks. And even though im still in the middle of weither or not i should be a member of cenation, I know he doesnt suck. He is just always there! Every damn main event on raw. Every pay per view main event! Hes everywhere! But the kids love him and thats all that matters so i say hes there to stay. And i also want to say..Im sorry for all the older fans who went through the Hogan era when i was a kid. Now i know how you feel!! What is it about wrestling that i love? I really donty know. Maybe its the athleticism or the storylines. Maybe the way they feed the character and make it believable. I know its all a show and its entertainment but i enjoy it.
I mean how cool would it be to be a wrestler!? Traveling the world. Having millions of fans. The lights,the glitz,the glamor. The competition for the title. Or making a heel(bad guy) turn. The show isnt the way it use to be. Nowadays its almost a guarentee everybody at a point with turn heel/ or face at some point. If memory serves correctly back then it was rare for a turn and when it happened it was a shock.. Some of the storylines were ruined by the writers not knowing how to tell the story or maybe they just didnt know what to do. I need to be a writer for the WWE. The Nexus storyline was great! That monday where they invaded and took over raw was phenominal! That had so much potential they could have ran with that for months. The C.m Punk storyline half real shoot also had potential. They should have had him stay away for awhile with the title rather than let Cena win it on raw the next night and then they had Punk show up. Poorly written. Dont take this as a bashing blog either. Im sure the job isnt easy. Im sure they are burned out of ideas for all the wrestlers and trying to come up with new and creative ways to put forward the product. There are few moments that leave me in aww now.
C.m punk vs Daniel Bryan has so much potential. Those two guys have the ability to tell a story that could go down in history. Much like Bret Hart use to do. And although i still like watching their matches i dont feel the extra things are needed. Although A.j adds an interesting element to the matches cause i have no idea what shes thinking(as the case with most women ) And now at this very moment the Macho Man was talking to me but now hes gone. No im not crazy. Dolph Ziggler reminds me of Mr. Perfect just the apperance and the arrogent attitude. That guy has a promising career. Hopefully he is used properly because he could be around a long time like Shawn Michaels was. Soetimes i sit here and wonder what the hell are they thinking? Santino as a champion? Jerry Lawler vs Michael Cole/ And what the hell are they doing with Jack Swagger?? He is a main eventer as well but they arent using him to his full potential. I really wish they would let these guys just do what they do with no scripts. No storyline. Just a wrestling match like they use to do. Can i ask you a question?What is a funkasauras??? Because ive never heard of it until Brodious Clay showed up.I think one of the things that i still love is you never know whats gonna happen next. Recently i relized all the guys i grew up watching are slowly fading away. Some are even dying. I mean Jerry Lawler, Triple H and the Undertaker are pretty much the only guys left from my youth. Yes they bring back a few legends from time to time but that obviously isnt the same. As with most things times change. And we have to find a new favorite to cheer for and we sit in our seats wondering i wonder who would win in a match of Cm Punk against Bret Hart. Or Chris Benoit against Jack Swagger. I wish when Vince/Shane bought WCW they would have left it as WCW. And kept the two seperate brands. They lost alot of great wrestlers. Ive read alot of the guys didnt want to work for Vince. In away it was bad for business when WCW was bought because well when you buy the competition theres nobody to match yourself against. Nothing to compete against. Its like the modern day Wal Mart. Who do they have to compete against? Target? Theres not a Target in every other town. Kmart? I can think of one Kmart store left. Theres no competition for them. So they pretty much rule. And im not saying the WWE product isnt good but it could be better but as with anything when theres no healthy competition to compete against then thers no bar to measure against. Sure there is TNA but honestly TNA is like ECW use to be.
Dear Big Show. Your 500 pounds. You stand seveb feet tall. You should be a champion and nobody should beat you ever! I dont care who it is. You should be feared. Other wrestlers should avoid you. Dear C.M Punk since your pipebomb you have become.. well soft. You no longer drop pipebombs i understand though. You got what you want I still like your character though. Dear John Cena Love you or hate you. You are respected by me. Thank you for all you do and everybody just stopped reading this blog! Heel turn anybody? Dear Dolph Ziggler Boom! You are the future of the business just keep doing the right thing. You will be a hall of famer. Dear Jack Swagger stop combing your hair like that. I cant take you serious with your hair like that. Pure ability though. Okay i think im done with this blog. I really would like to write for the WWE. Obviously itll never happen but if Shawns boyhood dream can come true and Mick Foley can pretend to be the Superfly then i can dream about a life of writing stories for wrestlers that fans adore. Thank you for reading a geeks writing about wrestling :)
I agree with some, Santino is a good wrestler wjo got stuck with a comedic gimmick. Glad Mach got to talk to you. I remember the first time The Undertaker turned face, it was a huge fucking shock. Almost 2 years of being a scary ass motherfucker then saving liz from a chairshot from Snakeman Jake Roberts * OOOOOH YEAH! I remember that well... he put a cobra kai in my wedding present then he had one bite me ooooooh yeah that hurt* There is such a nostalgic feeling when I watch raw, but they need need need to stop being so damn soap operaish and focus on what they are supposed to be about.... conflict and overcoming conflict
ReplyDeleteThey really do too. Soap oprah. Boom thats exactly what it is lately.It really needs to be about the wrestling aspect and not so much the entertainment. Wrestling is the entertainment if you get two guys that can tell astory then that in itself will and can sell. Look at Shawn vs Bret at mania 12. Or HHH vs Sahwn after Shawn came back from the broken back. That was a story being told by them. Punk and Bryan could tell a great story if they werent being held back. I think Ziggler has the potential to be a great story teller as well.
