Do We Need a Wrestling Revolution?

So because he’s “well liked” and been w/ the company a long time he “deserves” to be champ? I bet you could give Russo a run for his money w/ worst booker ever. Christian sucks.. he doesn’t add buy rates. No one tunes in to see Christian. He’s happy because he knows he’s pretty much worthless w/ his Candy Wrapper finisher & how he pulls a Matt Hardy clapping his hands when he’s going for his finisher… so people know its almost over & then are excited. This guy is a second rate midcard talent w/ zero charisma regardless of how he tries to give himself a name to get himself over to the contrary. Hell, just like he’s a whiny Bia.. his Intro music whines on & on… there isn’t a thing about him that’s marketable & enjoyable. His matched scream BORING.. unless someone else puts it together & pulls a decent match out of him by God’s grace. He even tried to use the spear tonight to help fans cheer him on.. his a piss poor imitation Edge who only got the title because he’s butt pirate buddies w/ Edge…. and that’s prolly why Edge got to walk out w/ the belt.. he promised he’s do WM if when he retired Christian gets his spot.. but you will see, next PPV at the LATEST.. he will no longer be champ.. it will be Orton’s & Christian will be back on Superstars.. where he belongs… until he’s back in TnA where he’s lowering ratings.. one bored fan at a time.

I wrote this the night he won it on another site that said he deserved it because he was “well liked” and “paid his dues”. I don’t think we need a revolution. Not just anyone can be champ & be believable. I hate Cena personally, but this is the days of Hogan being champ.. if there is one thing I hate more, its the title being hot shotted around, there is no reason why Cena should have 10 reigns since 2005. Those titles mean nothing. If anything the lower belts should be defended more & the WT less.. make it special again. In TnA, why hasn’t the TV title been defended on, you know..ummm .TV!!! Each week? Why the hell is Sting champ any way? Why, because he demanded it to come back to TnA… that was one selling point Dixie gave to him for him to come back… it sucks as fans.. one 7 min match later.. Hardy was destroyed, why? To feed the ego of Sting.. who should be like Flair.. not needing a belt or even to win matches & to be putting people over. Building the younger talent. Orton is not 8 time champ.. that’s stupid. Make it 4x champ & have him hold it 2x as long. Remember the old days when becoming champ & putting over the new guy to a title was HUGE!!! Now it means shit.. and when hacks like Christian get it, it means less.

Let me start by saying I am a HUGE Christian fan and was ecstatic to see him win the title. Last night’s blow up about the news of what happened at Smackdown shows two things. 1) WWE makes poor booking decisions more often than we would like to see 2) The “IWC” things they are much more important than they are.

I would rather have Christian run with the title for a while before Orton wins the title, but honestly it makes business sense, he is after all, Randy freakin’ Orton. Also, it is possible (not probable) that WWE uses this to make Christian an even more sympathetic character and he gets even more over with the crowd, making him stronger in the future and an even more momentous occassion if he were to ever win the title again.

If people are that upset with WWE and TNA there are alternatives that are easy to access. NWA Hollywood has all their episodes online and feature great indy talent such as Austin Aries, Colt Cabana, Adam Pearce and Scorpio Sky just to name a few. If that still isn’t your cup of tea, wrestling DVDs are just a click away in this day and age.

For starters, who knows the most & has made the most money booking wrestling shows? Vince… clearly.. no one is even close. I think he knows the direction of his company better than we do. That said.. everyone wants to talk about poor Christian, what about Alberto… he is far superior than his Canadian opponents.. both Christian & Edge. And I’m not just talking WWe Style matches, I’m talking his whole career. He was booked to win the belt the last few shows… and then of course Edge decides to retire, but says, I’ll work Mania if you let Christian win the belt after me.. so promise was made & kept. Alberto gets screwed by backstage politics.. and now is on Raw… Alberto should have won at Extreme Rules.. and would have had a tremendous feud w/ Orton. Why not do Christian v Orton?? They didn’t want 2 faces going against each other in a feud. That much is clear. They don’t want to risk having one of their faces getting booed because they are thin on faces any way. Again, Vince knows his reasons.. its his company.. and he knew that hack Christian couldn’t carry Orton’s jock let alone the WHT.

All these times of peaking your head in, no one bitched about Edge having the belt 10 times. Cena just got to 10 & hasn’t had it in 9 months… Orton is even longer & just got to 8. So all those wanting to bash Cena/ Orton.. everyone loves Edge though, right? No one hammered on Jericho or Batista.. so your arguments lack merit. Clearly you are biased as well.. and just being a fan boy.

I agree there are some things wrong w/ the business. But Orton & Cena make the most money.. shows, merch, PPV, DVD’s… they know who their stars are & how to keep the spotlight on them. Hogan had people fed to him constantly, they never hotshotted the belt around. They booked themselves in a pinch.. and they went w/ the people getting a brand new champ at ER… but they were smart, Christian is never going to be a major player… he’s just not going to be that guy.. he doesn’t have a look, he has no charisma.. he’s dull and that’s being nice. He cannot move up on the face side.. now, Del Rio.. they were smart not to book him losing the belt in 1 day.. they are keeping him strong & are keeping him & Cena apart.. to build them up to a PPV probably at Surv Series. CM Punk is supposed to be leaving according to this site. Jericho & Batista are on their way back.. both are top heels.. I like Sheamus & Swagger, but they were transition champs and have to continue to go up. See, long story short, The old ways of holding a belt for a year is now made of how many times you hold it. There are tiers, 1-3, minor champs.. I lvoe Punk, Swagger, Sheamus…. don’t like Rey or Kane.. Big Show.. but these are guys that are on the low rung.. then you have 4-7.. Batista, Jericho.. Taker.. that’s about it anymore.. then 8+… Cena, Orton, HHH… and those guys are the equivalent of Bruno, Hogan, Flair old Flair.. Its not a perfect theory but that’s my thought process. Christian getting it as 2 issues… booking themselves into it & the whole Edge making a power play… and also using the emotional feelings of what happened w/ Edge & this being his boy & knowing Edge was going to interfere to keep Del Rio from winning it. The original plan was Del Rio wins Mania, Miz has it.. then they swap brands in June. Del Rio has been screwed more than anyone in this. So now he’s on a show that Cena promises to hold the belt till next April. Which is good for the title.. Miz held it & ran w/ it for a long while.. did a great job… but they never wanted him to be champ.. they sucked it dry & finally got what they want. Edge had it for a while.. the title didn’t get swapped around at all. Mania had no title changes.. ER had almost all face wins.. if you don’t count the Cole match, then no heel wins..

So true. I can’t believe Christian is giving up the title. Out of all the WWE stars on the roster, Christian has paid his dues and more and should be rewarded for his actions. Holding the title for a “couple” of nights is not good enough. Its annoying to watch happen repeatedly. Its incredible. The WWE has not been pushing its younger stars or giving stars of the old guard their glory. I’ll be watching Smackdown this Friday to see what happens.

The Michael Cole angle is tired. He yells through every promo and even stumbles through his comments of matches. I’m over that angle. I almost always mute his part of the show.

I don’t even watch TNA, but I might take peek this week to see what’s going on. They are a mess though.

1st, sorry for misspelling your name before. I really should had triple checked that.. no disrespect.. I say that, because I do use misspelling of people’s names.. such as Stunker.. to degrade certain performers & such. 2nd… and I will write later.. but NONONONONONO.. no way do I think WWe doesn’t have its flaws. But this is all coming from Christian having the belt & losing it in 2days.. and I am totally fine with that. Regardless of how its booked.. lol.. I just hate Christian.. and I don’t care if he’s pinned for the belt by Hornswoggle or the ghost of some 3rd rate wrestler no one ever heard of. So, this case wasn’t the best..admittedly for me to start in on. Now, if you want to discuss any other bookings, I’m down.. I’m sure we agree more than you know. I will say that I think RoH is the best bookers in the biz.. and I can back my feelings up on that if anyone wants to go “toe to toe” lol.. on that. I think TnA is killing the biz & if RoH had half the cash.. OR not and.. but OR the tv deal on Spike… they would eventually pull huge numbers.. and after at least 5 years.. would be up there w/ WWe in ratings… not cash though.. lets face it.. Vince is a money man.. he’s self made.. kind of, on the broken backs of those who performed for him. When I was in business school, I used the WWE model for all my papers & such. I got very deep into WWE’s financials, old info, business plans.. things like that.. I cannot give enough props to that man. I also see wrestling as cyclic as a lot of life & business is… almost like a sine graph… waves & all that.. And I foresee one day when the attitude era returns.. w/ HHH & Steph as the mega evil heels ala Vince. So, I will be willing to discuss this more.. just give me some time to get back on here.
