If you have ever posted a blog you know the satisfaction that is derived after it is done and posted on that specific site that you post on and the feedback comes rolling in. Good, bad, positive and negative; truly it matters not. What does matter is, as it was so eloquently put by one Floyd Mayweather Jr. "I love PLUBLICITY". Yes I spelled PUBLICITY incorrectly(which brought me some heat in my last blog)which I did ,due to the fact that Floyd ever so articulately pronounced it last week at the "press conference". Then he proceeded to make it rain, or I guess thats' what the kids call it anyway. So is this what it amounts to now? Hey I have an idea, why doesn't the WWE just bring in Kimbo Slice since he is such a "great fighter". By great fighter I mean if he is fighting someone who is fat or drunk, or in Tank Abbott's case; both. Point is why don't they just trim the fat metaphorically speaking to make watching one of the two hour shows actually palatable again.
Let's start with the title situation, which bothers me the most. Jeff Hardy has had the I.C. Title for quite some time now and how many title defenses has he actually had? If he is in the running for a WWE Title push why not drop the I.C. title to another deserving up and comer to help put them over. Look at what the brief title reign did in the case of Santino Marella for instance. He might not be that great of a wrestler yet, but what he lacks in wrestling talent he makes up for in microphone skill. He is a great fit for the annoying Italian character he plays.
Secondly the World tag-team title and the WWE tag-team titles....umm...what? Why don't we just have the World Tag Team Championships again? Holly and Rhodes are a good pairing for the belts in my opinion. The crafty, tough veteran and the young blue-chip son of a wrestler with the titles is good for me. It is just that over on the Smackdown and ECW side of the dial here are The Miz and John Morrison parading around with the...WWE Tag Team Championships? What the deuce is that supposed to mean, so who are the....will the real tag team champs please stand up? The WWE has turned its' collective back on the development of top caliber tag teams in the last couple years in my estimation and it is really sad. Considering all of the great tag team wrestling that has taken place in the squared circle through the years this is a shame to say the least. But they have to be able to give a little more than two William Wallace wanna- bees,
a triad that consists of Olivia Newton John, John Travolta and Jeff Conway from Grease and a bumpkin with his retarded friend Lenny from "Of Mice and Men". After the L.O.D., the Hart Foundation, The Steiner Brothers, The Fabulous Free Birds this what were stuck with?
The so called "divas" are another pet peeve of mine as well. Especially to those of you who know me from my youtube account realize that it is well documented that I hate the WWE for turning the women back into a side show again. Divas who can wrestle they have Beth, Victoria, Jillian, Melina,Mickie and Katie Lea(although they haven't had her do anything yet). The rest of them are worthless, I've said it many times that if twirling in a circle makes you a great wrestler than Candice "Makenzie Montgomery" Michelle is the greatest to ever set foot in the ring. But since that is not the case why in the blue hell is she even in the title picture? She is EVERYTHING wrong with the WWE right now, the reason that she pisses me off so much is this simple fact: she is the female version of John Cena. I like John Cena for the fact that I think he is entertaining and a decent wrestler. I dislike Candice Michelle because she is annoying, not talented and the only thing funny about her is that fact that when she made her comeback on Raw she looked like Magda from "There's something about Mary". If you dislike Cena because you say these things :"He is a terrible wrestler who uses the same moves every match", then you could say the same things about Candice Michelle; right?
Of course you could, now just admit it. They should put a little bit more emphasis on the wrestling aspect of it like when they had Victoria, Trish, Lita, Molly, Ivory, Gail Kim and Jaqueline. They have the resources to do that now but much like the Cruiserweight Title they choose to ignore it. The big Divas match at Wrestlemania doesn't even have the title at stake. Instead of seeing a showdown between Beth Phoenix, Victoria and Mickie James for the title we get "BunnyMania", great. I can't wait to see the two worst womens wrestlers in the history of the company to get put over on Beth and Melina.
The last thing I will say is that like the Highlander, there can be only one. Get rid of the WWE Title, NOW! It is pretty stupid considering the fact that they once had a unified title, remember? Chris Jericho being the first ever UNIFIED CHAMPION. So how did this come to pass that there are now two belts again? I didn't get the memo across my desk about the Un-unification of the titles. Point is that the World Championship Wrestling Heavyweight Title Belt should be the only main title belt in the WWE. Along with the WWE tag team titles, the WWE title should be thrown away. Take the formats of Raw and Smackdown and intertwine them again to where both Main Events are cycled around the same story line. Those original days before the WWE had a "draft" were a lot more fun. ECW you ask? I would once again make it the true land of extreme, but also as a showcase for the young up and comers. Kind of like in the ECW days of yore when the Mexican wrestlers were first being introduced to the US fans of extreme. I would still use the ECW title and would have an ECW TV Title as well. Belts that could only be held or defended on that show or a pay per view.
These are just a few of the subtle changes I would make if I were in charge. You can hate them, as I am sure a lot of you will leave multiple defamatory "How Could YOUS'" after I post this. But it is truly all good, because I know that means at least those folks took the time and read the words that I have written and well, frankly, "I love PLUBLICITIY!"
