Congrats WWE

Congrats WWE……now don’t fuck it up. Seriously, you’ve got the titles off of Trips, Swagger and Cena in single PPV, built a decent Post-PPV feud and possibly wrote out the BS rematches.
Cena now has a possibly good feud with Big Show, a feud that gets Cena out of the title picture and hopefully re-invents him as a credible threat, as opposed to a merch-moving uber-champion. Here’s hoping that the booking will elevate them both without giving us Super-Cena or weakening the already strained credibility of Big Show.
Orton as the Champion has possibilities, and as long as Trips is out of action the future of the belt looks decent. Unfortunately the VERY real possibility of all Evolution alumni Main Events has me scared shitless. Here’s hoping that the ‘E decides to “make” a few new main eventers to keep us from the same staleness that engulfed the belt on SD! When it was nothing but Batista/Edge/Undertaker for a year or so.
As far as Christian as the new ECW champion I give an emphatic “MEH!”. After the Lisping Leviathan (Swagger) gets his mandatory rematch, who’s next? As far as the present is concerned the only obvious contenders are Finlay, Dreamer, and Mark Henry. The only other contenders even close would need at least 3-6 months of grooming and legitimate booking to look like a credible threat. Seriously could you imagine Kozlov, Kidd, Burchill or Bourne as #1 contenders right now?
As to what looks like a heel turn for Jeff Hardy, all I can say is “It’s about damn time”. He’s been on the road to heel or at least tweener-dom since he began doing the Cryptic promos, face paint and more hardcore style. I also see him as a decent Lower-Main Event/Title hunt foil for either Edge or C.M. Punk. Hell, a Punk/Hardy Feud practically books itself. Especially if they turn Edge face, Hardy may work well with him outside of a normal face/heel dynamic. Part of me hopes that the eventual end of the Kane/Punk feud has Punk losing the case to Kane. I’m not Anti-Punk, mind you; I just feel that MitB is used a plot device far more often than necessary and it seems out of character for Punk to use it in its intended/most common usage. It seems like they’d book Punk as a fighter and have him climb the ladder as it were by beating practically everyone or at least ‘earning” a shot rather than simply “Cashing in” at the most opportune time.
Also with Jericho beating Steamboat and The Wrestler released on DVD, hopefully he’ll stop this Legend Killer rehash. I’d personally love to see him work with Morrison in some capacity. I’d love to see a feud, but a tag team could work with the proper booking. Honestly Jericho could be put almost anywhere on the card and succeed.
In conclusion I have this to say, I didn’t buy Backlash and did buy WM. I sorely wish that I’d done the opposite.

Howdy-Doo: An introduction and mission statement

Hello all, and by all I mean no one. I am Dr. Sivana, longtime lurker on many message boards and frequent contributor to the Great and Mighty WrestleCrap Forums (Heretofore referred to WCF).

This blog is simply a collection of my own thoughts and musings on many topics, but as the Title suggests, mostly wrestling. These are my opinions, and unless verifiable or empirically proven, should not be considered fact.

The following is a basic rundown of what Is planned, and as always this may change as the situation dictates:

1. WWE Wrestling (No recaps, just thoughts musings and commentary on the product)

2. TNA (Possibly.......)

3. Movies/Books/TV (General stuff, shows I miss, etc)

4. My Health (If all else fails)


And, in the words of Jackie Gleason, Awaaaaaay we go.
