• Olympics of Wrestling?

  Posted on 5/13/08 8:11 AM

  I was watching RAW last night and was somehow drawn into the John Cena / William Regal argument. I was actually stricken with a great sense of patriotism when Cena defended the honor of the United States against Regal playing "God Save The Queen" as the show began.
  
  Of course, we all know the national anthem was played prior to the broadcast, but it still made for a good storyline. It was good to hear some USA chants echo through an arena again.
  
  Then, it hit me. With all the nationalities of superstars in the WWE, why not have a tournament for the honor of the superstars' home countries?
  
  Think about it for a minute. Some examples could be:
  
  Cena - USA
  Santino - Italy
  Carlito - The Caribbean
  Regal - England
  Khali - India
  Kofi Kingston - Jamaica
  Mysterio - Mexico (despite his roots in San Diego)
  Jericho or Edge - Canada
  Umaga - Samoa
  
  And finally, play the "parts unknown" card and have the final entrant be:
  
  Kane - Parts Unknown (as they used to at the beginning of his career)
  
  You could have the 10 superstars face off in tournament fashion, and then have the winners square off in a 5-man elimination style (pinfall or tapout) battle royal. The last three will get title shots (or some other random honor).

  What do you all think of Mike Adamale as ECW's new commentator?
  
  Obviously, he's no Jim Ross or Jerry Lawler, and he doesn't bring the fire that Joey Styles brought to ECW for years.
  
  Personally, I think Adamale is a halfway decent announcer. Sure, his commentating is so-so right now, but he wasn't horrible in his previous announcing positions. I think he'll do fine once he gets a good grip on the way WWE in announced as opposed to other sports.

  After watching the KOTR last night, I was thouroughly disappointed. I knew there was an 8-man tag match to finish the show off, but I didn't think to much of it, considering WWE main events ahve been less than stellar as of late (HHH vs. JBL w/ Orton interfering, etc.)
  
  Then, after the match was over, I found myself saying "Wow, why aren't there more mathces like this?" Taker/Kane/HHH/Cena vs. Chavo/Edge/Orton/JBL sounded good on paper, but I never thought it would go as well as it did.
  
  Yeah, the heel wrestlers won (Edge with the pin on Kane), but it was a competitive match, with an explosive ending, where all hell broke loose, capped off by Undertaker's double chokeslam on Orton and JBL.
  
  Why can't RAW, Smackdown, and ECW have more matches with this kind of drama? These are the types of matches fans wan't to see!
