You know who was "over" or could have easily gotten over?  Cryme Tyme and the Hart Dynasty.  I don't know why the WWE took two teams that people liked to see and broke them up and pretty much took off of television.  JTG is buried.  Tyson Kidd (of whom I was a big fan) didn't get over with his new bodyguard gimmick.  Shad isn't in the WWE anymore.  I don't know when I last saw David Hart Smith.  And for what?  The USO's?  Where the hell are they?

But there is a chance to right this wrong.  With the heel push of R. Truth (and I hope he calls himself Ron Killings from now on), he needs a stable.  I would jizz in my pants if R. Truth, JTG, and a couple of other under appreciated guys formed some sort of alliance.  Double jizz if Booker T leaves the announce table to become their mentor or leader.  It's been a long time since I've been excited about an upcoming wrestling program.  It's a good feeling.  I hope the WWE does something interesting with the foundation they laid and don't fuck it up between now and Monday.  But, you know they will.

I think the for what is... to see if any of them could stand on thier own because the WWE HATES tagteams.

I mean the WWE Tag Belts back in the day used to be that stepping stone.  A second conduit to main event status.  I mean, i'd go so far as to say... if you weren't going to be WWF/E Champion, you'd rather be half of the Tag Champs then Intercontinental Champion.

Now they're below intercontinental status.  There isn't ever going to be another "Shawn Micahaels" type who goes from popular Tagteam to Main Event Status.

I mean, check out Smackdown VS Raw and look at Cryme Time and the Hart's stats.  They'd be lucky to crack the US title or IC title ratings!  Let alone be main event status. (Although my DH Smith won money in the bank, then cashed in on CM Punk after a match and beat him, as payback for him somehow finding loopholes in the system to avoid defending his title for 3 straight pay per views before WM... that crazy auto scheduler.)

 

I think the only way they could bring back the tag team division is with a big influx of teams, and with a Heel tag team going over John Cena or Randy Orton in a fued.  Which won't happen with their "Super-face" status.

Or even better, a heel tag team going over them both in a tag match that proves that being a tag team means something.  A CLEAN match too... no RKOing Cena or anything.



Chris Jericho advanced again on Dancing With The Stars again.  It'll be even a longer period of time before the WWE gets interesting.

Jay Lethal got released / or he quit TNA, while it sucks as he was a great X division champion, they really hvaen't used him for a LOOOOOONG time, maybe he can do another ROH run.

I don't know if is because J.R. is back, but Raw has actually been really good lately.  Usually after wrestlemania the show goes to hell, let's see if the draft takes care of that :P

Not much wrestling on TNA last night. Then the commercial placement was terrible. Do you guys think the network is Cole's missing laptop?



 Go Team Venture! I still don't get the Wii, PS Move,  and Kinect.

Jericho claims he is returning "faster" if he wins DWTS.

TNA was decent I suppose....not horrible as usual.

The Network is just a response to the Anonymous GM so it's nothing to really take serious.

R-Truth's heel turn ACTUALLY made me interested in Ron Killings again. Drop his "Truth" gimmick completly, in fact  repackage his gimmick completely with the heel turn to take him seriously. The cig made his turn a memorable one definitely though lol, even if he ends up like Tyson Kidd (obscurity)

Morrison is suppose to get punished apparently, but it seems not. After all his backstage heat about cold shouldering Trish, he's still winning and is even a contender for the WWe Championship. He was a contender not too long ago and look how that ended up for him. I'm personally disgusted with Morrison though, and it upsetted me knowing Melina is back in his life, dragging him down. The woman was never a favorite of anyone's backstage, unless it was a guy banging her. She has used Morrison as what? Definitely not a boyfriend if she screws other co-workers in his FACE, and he does NOTHING. Her doing that and him letting her, countless times, is tasteless. That's my problem, how can he even deal with this woman again? Becoming her puppet against Trish because she felt Stratus "replaced" her in the main event? Become talented you generic bimbo, and maybe the company wouldn't have to find past stars and drunken celebrities to draw. That goes for her and the rest of the WWE Divas who wants to bash Trish.

With Edge gone (cried), there is a huge void left in the WWE, particularly Smackdown. Most want Christian to fill that void but if you're unaware, Vinnie has never seen Christian as one of the big boys. I'm suprised Christian was given the #1ship, but if he wins the World Heayvweight Championship, that's going to blow everyone away in shock. Alberto Del Rio's monster push is barely working, which is why he lost at Mania. The guy lacks proper reaction, but maybe they can feed him off of Edge's retirement, to gain more reaction, particularly in heat.

I believe Micheal Cole's heel character is too forced sometimes, it was PERFECT at first when they didn't make it obvious that they are TRYING to make us believe this is how this guy is. Now, it seems unbelievable itself, the run at that.

The Miz still being WWE Champion for over half a year..............let's see if he'll make it to Wrestlemania 28 as champ, because when Cena made his match with the Rock a world title match, I instantly predicted a triple threat. My prediction could change though, especially if Miz drops the title, OR actually turn babyface as the champion.

What I give Jay Lethal Credit for is making Black Machismo work, despite the fact that on paper it sounded like one of the worst gimics ever.  Then he did the hilarious Ric Flair immitation.

I wish this all would of happened back in the 1980's.  There after the flair imation he would of gotten a "Shang Tsung" like gimic for sure.

Have him impersonate a few wrestlers in the ring, overexagerating their movesets to the point fo where you can tell when he switched from Macho, to Flair to whoever.

Play up how his "adaptability" gives him an advantage in any match he's in because he can pick the sytle that best matches up versus his opponent... have him pull out a surprise new "move set" or two in the middle of the match.  "Oh gawd! That's Brett Hart!  He's imatiting Bret Hart!  Sharpshooter!"  Hit a couple wreslters with their own finishers.

Then eventually have him lose either vs someone he's imating like Macho Man, or some multitooled technical wrestler that's coming up...

and when things get more serious, dial it back to him being an expert of multiple styles because of his imitation.

I kinda have the feeling that the Draft will do the opposite... and just kill off smackdown as they draft the rest of smakdown's surviving talent away, leaving nothing but Rey Mysterio, Kane, Bigshow and jobbers.
