this is part 2 of my sports blog. today, i will talk about the recent events in the wwe. (woooooooh!) the wwe is known as "sports entertainment" so it still falls under the category of sports. so, here we go!
RAW
so the champion in this show is john cena who recently defeated chris jericho for that world heavyweight championship. im not surprised that cena won the championship on his first match back since his return to the ring was so hyped by the wwe, showing video packages about him, and the pay-per-view event was in his home town. now, im not really a cena fan but he has always been a great champ for the show. y2j meanwhile has done a fantastic job holding the title as heel and i hope he gets another chance down the road.
speaking of former title holders, i am so pissed about the other two guys who held the title recently, namely batista and cm punk. batista's reign was so short that what was the point of giving him the title in the first place? sorry for being biased because i am a batista fan but you have to agree with me on this. as for cm punk, his whole reign as champion is disrespectful to him and the title itself. why? even though he was the champion, he was made to look weak. as if giving him the title was mistake for the people behind the scenes. and then, the way he lost the title, he didn't even get a chance to defend it in a match. he lost it because he could not compete? cmon they can do better than that. he is so over with the fans, just like a jeff hardy of smackdown!, so why do those things to him. the championship represents a lot of things but being weak isnt one of them. i hope cm gets a chance again in the future.
on other things on raw, i am excited about this faction of randy orton composing of second/third generation superstars. ive always loved factions as they add a great twist to the show. one of the guys that has been missing is rey mysterio. he doesnt seem to fit in raw. maybe he should go to ecw and give that show the star power (more on this later). also, i wish cryme tyme become the tag champs soon because they are so cool (money, money, yeah yeah!).
future star from raw: kofi kingston
deserves a push: cm punk
does not deserve a push: jbl
is better someplace else: rey mysterio
someone raw should get: a new gm
funniest character: santino
this guy's still on the roster?!: hardcore holly and val veni
hottest diva: kelly kelly (but only by a hair since they are all hot!)
SMACKDOWN!
ive always believed that smackdown is best show from the 3 wwe programs. yes, better than raw and yes, even after the wwe draft and all the roster changes recently. raw has the most superstars but smackdown always had the better storylines. the show never needed the superstar power that raw always had and kudos to the writers for making smackdown a great show that it is today.
as for the show at present, i am very very extremely happy that jeff hardy is now the wwe champion!. wow. this guy has deserved a title run for a long time and if not for his screw ups in the past, we could have seen this earlier. i actually have been a fan of him and his brother matt and recently. jeff's character has been dark and had a devil-may-care persona (it always has been actually) that i liked him even more. i hope he does well as the champ and holds on to it for a long time, unlike cm punk.
i think triple h held on to the title a little too long and it was sometimes tiring to see it with him so i guess the loss he had, he had it coming. again the ultimate oppurtunist edge got another title and it was not surprising that this happened. and it was a good thing since eventually it led to jeff hardy being crowned. ive always loved the vickie-edge pair up as ive always been a fan of a storyline that has an abusive boss who is biased towards the heels and then the lone good beats them (eg. stone cold, batista etc)
on other news, us champ shelton benjamin has been great too though he lacks a huge storyline to improve is character even more. the tag champs carlito and primo are good as well though they were just thrown in the mix out of nowhere. im also hoping mr.kennedy gets another push while about kozlov and his push, all i can say is wtf.
future star from smackdown: mr. kennedy
deserves a push: mr. kennedy
does not deserve a push: vladimir kozlov
is better someplace else: vladimir kozlov
someone smackdown should get: maybe batista (another guy who seems lost in raw)
funniest character: kung fu naki
who the f*** is this guy?!: scotty goldman
hottest diva: maria (again, just by a slim margin since they are all hot anyway)
ECW
so i never really get to watch this show and i find out what's going on with it only through the internet. now, i also never saw the old ecw when it wasnt under the wwe yet but, i do know even without witnessing it that much, that that show was far more better than what it is today. wwe has smeared its legacy and the old ecw originals like heyman, sabu, sandman etc must be really pissed. this show is completely crap and it deserves better. well, after the wwe brought it back, it was only a matter of time before they removed the ecw origs (bring back balls mahoney!) and "wwe-ize" it. even the belt was changed.
maybe adding the old "extreme rules" match every episode would be good. oh, and it also needs star power so that it would be worth watching. though there are great new wrestlers in it but they are unknown and people easily lose interest. hopefully it gets better next year.
future star from ecw: evan bourne
deserves a push: chavo guerrero
does not deserve a push: who are they pushing anyway?
is better someplace else: none
someone ecw should get: stars from the other shows!
funniest character: hornswoggle
who the f*** is this guy?!: everyone on the freakin roster!
hottest diva: tiffany (the only woman in the roster)
