    If I Ran the WWE

    Friday, July 24, 2009, 11:38 AM EST [General]

    If I was able to run the entire WWE, here is what the "E" would look like:

    Raw (Million Dollar Man - GM)

    Evan, Swagger, Cena, Kingston, Henry, MVP, Orton, Dibiase, Miz, HHH, Rhodes, Ziggler, Batista, Michaels (out), Phoenix, Kim, Kelly, James, Maryse, Maria (JR and Lawler commentary).

    WWE Champion - Cena

    US Champion - Swagger

    Unified Tag Champions - Hart Dynasty (all three shows)

    Women's Champion - Natalya

    **Get MVP and Mark Henry in the title mix gives more options for a main event.  I got rid of a lot of Divas that didn't mean much and I think if some (like Maria and Maryse were moved to a "valet" then there would be less wrestling that didn't have the talent).  Have the US title be contested by at least 5 to 7 guys with 5 to 7 guys in the Main Event.  Evens things out.

    Smackdown (Teddy Long - GM)

    Show, Jericho, Punk, Smith, Kidd, J. Hardy, Morrison, JTG, Shad, Kane, R-Truth, Khali, Mysterio, Christian, Benjamin, Kozlov, McCool, Natalya, Melina, Eve, Edge, M. Hardy (out), (Grisham and Cole commentary).

    WHC - Punk

    IC Champion - Rey Mysterio

    **This show has the most tag teams (3).  Any and all wrestlers could be interchanged with World Title and IC title.  I like the way the show is but adding Shelton back with Christian makes it better.  Having the big guys on the show too makes it interesting.  Who wouldn't mind seeing Kane, Show, Khali and Kozlov in one match together?  It would spark my interest.

    ECW (Tiffany - GM)

    Marella, Kendrick, Finlay, Knox, Ortiz, Dreamer, Jackson, Goldust, Hurricane, Regal, Ryder, Carlito, Chavo, Washington, Sheamus, Tatsu, "Surfer guy I can't remember" (Matthews and Striker commentary)

    ECW Chamion - Jackson

    TV Champion - Sheamus

    **This gives ECW more guys since the reports have TNA beating ECW in ratings.   Eliminating one Women's title and gaining the TV title on ECW gives it more substance (RVD was famous for this strap).  I really like what I am seeing with Sheamus so I'd give it to him.

    Tired of Raw??? Getting there.

    Tuesday, May 19, 2009, 01:22 PM EST [General]

    If some of you have been following my Blogs, I got DirecTV a few months ago.  I loved it that I could finally see Raw.  Now that I do, I am getting tired of it.  Here are quick reason why I am:

    1. Randy Orton has opened the show almost every week in the past month and a half.  His walk to the ring takes up 3-5 minutes and his posing takes forever. 

    2. Santino...we get it...he's funny.  I did like that he kind of showed some fight in his match against Chavo.  maybe he'll start to actually wrestle.

    3. Michael Cole is well, "Vintage Michael Cole."

    4. Vickie is horrid. 

    5. WWE is advertising a Pay-Per-View almost every 3 weeks...Cut some down.  Remember when it was only Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, King of the Ring, SummerSlam and Survivor Series?  (5)  Now we have what?  13 or 14?  Two a month is not something they need to be doing either.

    6. Lack of Tag Team Division, lack of U.S. Title opponents.  They use Matt Hardy AGAIN for MVP???  There are so many more that could be used.  Regal, Kofi, Kendrick, Festus, Goldust, etc.

    7. Batista, Cena, Orton, HHH...ROTATE...same main eventers.  With Hunter out, maybe they can have more people step up.

    One thing I am looking forward to is the return of Kennedy and I am LOVING the Miz right now.  He need to continue this.  He will turn into the next JBL (pertaining to hatred) real soon.

    It's getting stale guys...step it up.  Even Vince said WWF in his last interview...maybe that can be brought back some how.

    Later.

    Parker.

    2009 Draft and the Future

    Tuesday, April 28, 2009, 03:30 PM EST [General]

    So the 2009 Draft is over and the first week of the new rosters began last night.  I was looking for the shock factor and I got it...MVP interrupting Orton was great.  He definately needs to be main event.  I think they need to drop the wrestling attire though.  I've never liked that body suit. 

    The Miz getting screen time with the promo was great.  I agree that it's the same people in the main events and fresh blood is what we need.  Calling out Cena and him not answering the challenge was great...only loop hole was that he actually was there and distracted Big Show.  What does that say for Miz?  He comes out for Big Show but not Miz? Come on Cena be the man you are claiming to be! 

    Also, does Santino's action figue come with Santina parts?  I know the current one comes with a constant eye rolling.  We get it, he's funny.  It's getting quite stupid.

    For the future, I think I would love to see John Morrison step up like MVP did and challenge Edge.  Maybe have a feud with Jericho because he is "like Shawn Michaels" and he had a feud with Michaels.  I hope someone like Dolph Ziggler or some ECW jobber can step up and fight Rey for the IC title.  Rey needs to go, I'm a bit stale on that guy. 

    If the tag belts are on Raw, how are Cryme Tyme, the ONLY team still together, on Smackdown. What does that say for them?  If the tag titles are unified why aren't they one belt?  This is going to mean that the titles will split again and that is just stupid.  One World title, one mid-card title (IC), one tag title, one Women's Title...have them, since they are champions, be the only ones who go to all three brands. 

    Well, here's to a 2009 full of hopeful surprises.

    It is official...

    Tuesday, April 14, 2009, 08:33 AM EST [General]

    IF YOU LOOK AT MY STATUS...THE RETURN OF MR. WULFF BEGINS 2009-2010...

    This is because it is official, Mr. Wulff is back! 

    He has passed his PRAXIS II test and is now a teacher again.  It has been a long struggle.  Full of bumpy roads and disappointments.  Here is the journey ffrom falling from grace to climbing the mountain top once more...

    I was a teacher from 2002-2007.  I was in contact with the Ohio Department of Education for my last year and a half about my new license and there was a miscommunication between us and I was not able to renew my license.  I had to resign from my teaching position and be out of work from August 2007 to October 2007.

    I began work, temporarily, at the Head and Neck Institute at the Cleveland Clinic as a Medical Secretary.  Granted, it was not the best thing but it's a job and I needed something.  Now, in the same month I took the teaching test so I can renew my license and failed by 1 point.  1 point!!! 

    Fastforward three tests later and still a failed score was haunting me.  9, 11 and 13 respectively.  I was going to take it for a 5th time.  1 point again!!! But the thing was, it was the wrong test.  They had updated the requirements and i was taking the wrong test in Ohio.  So this, to me, was a new opportunity.  New test, new questions, fresh start.  3/14/09 was the test date for my new venture...

    I took the test and smiled at question #2.  I was so confident that this was it that when I closed my test booklet I had 10 minutes to go.  I went back and changed a few things because that back of my mind feeling came up when there was a string of 10 answers that didn't have 'A.'  You're told not to think of a pattern but I had to...

    Well I told everyone that "there was no way I failed this one."  I never am this overly confident.  I was hesitent to go online and start applying for jobs because it was what I did the last time.  I didn't want to jinx anything...Well one mpnth later I went online and checked...

    I PASSED!!!

    Now begins applying to be a special education teacher again.

    I am sooooo flying high today!

    Parker.
