Okay, so I was wrong. That was actually fun.
Till Tuesday when it all goes so wrong. Or at least that’s the impression they’ve left us. I mean, who else could we possibly expect to be GM besides Stephanie? There’s been three. One’s on RAW. One’s quit. (WWE.com says “new GM and trades on Tuesday night, about the time SmackDown’s taping starts”, so I guess we have 24 hours to try and guess new names.)
It’s all in how they follow up. Which is always true.
Maybe I’m just relieved that they didn’t panic even more and gave Triple H a title back. I was kinda thinking they were going to.
But, re: Meltzer’s discussion of who’s got the belt for now and who’s being built around – with Triple H jumping, it sure seems like which champion is which might have gotten flipped.
Why couldn’t have Velocity gotten Cade? They need better heavyweights. I’m very worried about the impending Jordan/Jindrak match. I actually like Dupree better, but I’m not too happy there either.
I really don’t like Spike on SmackDown!, because he’s had the same “small guy uses a lot of rollups again big guy” match for the last seven years, and hasn’t shown anything different when he’s got the opurtinty. He’s a lesser Scotty 2 Hotty at this point, and since they buried him on TV, he’s probably Chavo’s next challenger.
Got me where Tajiri fits in on RAW. Where was Randy Orton?
I liked the backstage bits – not just the bigger ones like everyone singing goodbye to Triple H, but the little stuff like Jazz yelling at Theodore Long and telling him he wasn’t making her money anyway. And Nidia leaving SmackDown by chucking a water bottle at Jamie Noble, that was choice.
I would not bet on RVD victories over the next few months. He’s got all the looks of a guy who is jobbing his way out of the company.
NCAA, lucha stuff later.
Eric said something about Randy having a tonsilectomy or some sort of minor medical emergency, which was why he wasn’t there. I have to imagine this was legit (maybe that’s why Christian caused the DQ in the main event, since Randy wasn’t there?)
Ahhh. That would explain that.
I’m not even interested in seeing Spike wrestle other cruisers on Velocity, let alone the matches he’ll have as the regular sacrificial lamb. Maybe he’ll prove me wrong, but honestly, how is he an “addition”? They could be doing more with Tajiri rather than just do the same old thing with a new face who isn’t new by any means.
A lesser Scottie 2 Hottie? Yeouch.
