Wrasslin' Thoughts
Got to sit down and watch tonight's Raw live, for the first time in a couple of weeks.
The ECW PPV is coming up here in a few weeks. So what do we do? Squash a former ECW Champion with a guy whose time in the spotlight should be limited to Sunday Night Heat. That's disappointing enough. But if ever there were a perfect time to do an ECW Arena Style Lights Out/Lights On reveal, it would have been when Masters had Stevie in the nelson. Lights come back on to reveal, I dunno, Sandman standing in the ring with a kendo stick. Or Tommy Dreamer.
Or how about Sabu? I'm thinking Raw needs Sabu.
Put a few of the ECW faces on camera. See if you can get an extra two or three thousand buys for the PPV. It can't hurt.
Also: The crowd has largely been indifferent to Chris Masters. For months now. It seems to me that Project Masters has failed. But I've got a feeling he'll be on our TV for a long, long time.
Okay.
There were a couple really good segments, I thought.
It's nice to see a Shelton Benjamin/Chris Jericho feud finally shifting gears and moving foward. Benjamin has the tools. He needs a talent like Jericho, who is one of the better in-ring storytellers of this generation, to show him exactly what it means to tell a story in the ring.
Now they can do it.
Also? It may have been cheesy, but I enjoyed the hell out of seeing Vince McMahon, Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman in the ring at the same time. I had to wonder what if felt like to be Eric Bischoff, and have McMahon out there reminding you about what it percieved to be your greatest career failure in front of the audience, God and everybody.
I guess so long as he's getting paid.
You know Vince had to enjoy that, being the boss of the other two members of the Big Three promotions of the 90's, and lording it over them in the middle of a WWE ring.
Lastly? How much crap did Matt Hardy break at his house, watching Edge and Lita do their promo? What if Lita had slipped when giving her sermon on Kane, and said "Matt?"
We were thinking there's a TV in North Carolina with a bullet hole in it right about now.
