If WWE goes TOO Hollywood
Posted on 8/15/08 9:58 AM
With the recent acquisition of Freddie Prinze jr. as a WWE writer simply so Mcmahon can open more doors for the company in Hollywood I'm worried about what other ideas McMahon may have to get his superstars more acting roles.
One major concern is what if he starts getting Actors to wrestle rather than his wrestlers acting?
The K-Fed thing was brilliant. K-Fed at the time was so hated by the media. Why? I don't know. K-fed is the man. He knocked up spears, ruined her life, knocked her up again, divorced her, then she shaved her head and has been ridiculed since. People hated his ass so Vince has him go one-on-one with (at the time) the most beloved WWE superstar John Cena.
Then there was the Donald Trump thing.
WCW's David Arquette run was lame. That's what I'm worried about happening. I know WWE is going to pull some people from hollywood and throw them on tv. Small appearances like when Rob Schneider judged a diva search event was ok whatever. But let's say they start actually putting these guys in matches? or even worse they have title runs? It could be good and it could be bad. Depends who you got doing what. Who would you like to see?
I'd like to see:
Ice Cube briefly running in a stable with Cryme Tyme.
Seth Rogen vs. Umaga.
Let's give Christian Bale a run with Intercontinental championship!
"Duane Johnson" vs. Santino.
Brief Smackdown GM Stephen Colbert.
Kal Penn as Khali's new translator. With Penn having no fucking clue what Khali is saying.
Batista vs. The cast of highschool Musical...
just a few ideas. -
WWE/TNA trades.
Posted on 8/11/08 12:30 PM
I watch both and i love both. We've seen WWE guys go to TNA and their careers have flourished. But TNA guys to WWE have gone down the drain. So here's who i'd like to see switch companies so that I may see more of them or vice-versa never see them again. Say what you want. If you start in TNA and try treading in WWE waters you die. Not even pre-WWE experience necessarily saves you (thats you Ron Killings).
From WWE to TNA: GOOD.
1. Carlito
2. Jesse & Festus
3. John Morrison
4. Elijah Burke
5. Ken Kennedy
6. Matt Hardy
7. Cryme Tyme
8. Charlie Haas
9. FLAIR
10. London
TNA to WWE: DEATH
1. Eric Young
2. Rock & Rave express
3. Curry man
4. Johnny Devine
5. Sonjay
And regardless I'd like to see the Phenomenal AJ Styles head to WWE. AJ Styles vs. CM PUNK would be the greatest fucking thing to watch. Styles would rock the shit out of punk. AJ Styles is the only person I see that can make a jump to whatever show he wants and he'll be a headliner and run the shit. AJ Styles is the best fucking thing around.
I'd also like to see a Christian Cage/Edge feud regardless of what show it's on. -
I could live without seeing the Undertaker
Posted on 8/8/08 11:57 AM
This is just for everyone who thinks that The undertaker can turn anything into gold.
The undertaker is cool yes. But his character is very one dimensional. he used to scare me when i was like 7. But he doesn't entertain. He's like the Superman of wrestlers. He is too dominant and he has magic powers apparently. There's even the anti-superman character of Kane. His eviler Brother who was bigger,faster, stronger. The only one who could put undertaker in his place was an evil clone of the Undertaker.
The man doesn't ever speak. And thats his character. Even when he was "Biker gang' undertaker and he did talk he became less entertaining. His In-Ring skills now i think are better than they ever were. he's incorporated alot of striking with submission grappling and ontop of that his big ass can get up in the air and over those ropes like he really can fly. But that has taken years for him to get to that point and this man has been worshipped forever.
I love how everyone just destroys on Khali for not being able to wrestle. He sucks. he's just a big guy that has more value for WWE in movie roles than a wrestling one. But think about it. undertaker used to be the same way. The man was so stiff in the ring. His move arsenal was big boots, clotheslines, the weak ass looking tombstone piledriver, holding his opponents hand as he walked halfway to the middle of the 3rd rope, and sitting up straight. The guy hasn't even held the title for even a small period of time when he has gotten it because he is boring with the belt.
I'm not saying i hate the Undertaker. But watching him through the years i've gotten more or less bored with him than always on the edge of my seat. Everyone has thought it at some point but never says it because it is just unheard of to like wrestling and not like the Undertaker.
The Undertaker is not God, he's not the greatest character of all time, he's not the most talented guy ever, he's not the most entertaining, and he isn't to professional wrestling what Will smith is to Hollywood. I don't even rank Undertaker top 5 of all time. Maybe not even top 10 if i think about it enough. Just throwing Undertaker onto something does not make it worthwhile.
Thats why i say right now this is the high point of undertaker's career. We only see him in small spurts. That's fine by me. -

STAbLES
Posted on 8/4/08 7:54 PM
Stables have been around forever. They are always off and on. Sometimes they are exciting to watch and other times they are straight shit. They tend to take away from the competetive/athletic aspect of wrestling and at times can create over the top storylines and make it all more soap operaish. Love stables or hate them I firmly believe they are the best thing in professional wrestling because of main reason. They give opportunity to lesser known superstars and give them the leg up they need to make a name for themselves.
Some of the best examples of this are Evolution and currently "La Familia?" the edge/guerreros coalition. I don't want to talk to much into shit about stables that everyone already knows. Evolution used 2 great already established wrestlers to bring 2 new young guys into main event status. And Edge's gang has really started to help the Major brothers, Further push edge's heel status (which i thought impossible to hate edge more), and really establish the Guerrero family name in the WWE which is well deserved. The Guerreros should be regarded just the same as the Hart family always has been in my opinion.
But my whole point of this blog is to get feedback on if WWE should make some new stables? Maybe there are already too many? Maybe WWE should take a longer break from stables? And who should run/be in a stable?
I really like how WWE has paired Lance Cade up with Jericho. It fits the storyline well with HBK. How Jericho hates HBK yet this entire feud Y2J emulates Shawn michaels and tons of shit he's done in his career. Cade is to Y2J currently like Diesel was to HBK. Although not technically a stable it's going to give Cade a push that will work. i see possibly even adding Paul London into the mix. London and Cade could be a good heel tag team that can do Jerichos bidding and watch his back.
Or i'd like to see orton come back and start mentoring Dibiase and Rhodes. And i fucing hate Cody Rhodes. But as long as WWE is going to keep his ass around and push him why not see him and orton and Dibiase run the fucking train on all the "legends" in the wwe.
And I think WWE should put together a new Nation of Domination. D'Lo is back? Why not let him run that shit. let Simmons manage the team. Shout DAMN! hook them up with cryme Tyme and Elijah burke. And Charlie Haas! The Nation of Domination...andcharlie Haas. Make that the offical stable name. bunch of black guys and charlie haas doing what he does best. trying to fit in with black guys.
There's tons of other options that are clearly there. WWE has a ton of talented young guys right now. More at this one moment in time than i think ever before. Theres not even enough tv time for al of them between 3 shows. and with TNA now picking off guys left and right these days WWE has no choice. They can't afford to let potentially great superstars go when they don't have shit for them and bring them back whenever they feel they can re-package them. It's getting too competetive again. The best way to push guys up quick and keep creating more and more superstars is to build stables. They can't keep the guys from the previous generations going forever. they just about sent Flair to the glue factory. They need to keep pushing younger talent. or else they will just become WCW.
agree or disagree.
