OMG! The House is back after a bit of a break and the crowd goes wild...
Yeah, I know, shut up and get on with it...
First thing for this edition I have to say I told you so. Cryme Tyme should be World Tag Team champions right now. They are more over with the crowd now than at any other point so what do we get at Unforgiven? Exactly what I said would happen in Episode VI of the House... more Rhodes and DiBiase crammed down our throats. Priceless does have bright futures ahead of them, but putting the tag titles on them is jumping the gun. I thought Rhodes winning the title with Hardcore Holly was pushing too hard as well.
Speaking of Unforgiven, I'd like to send out my personal congratulations to Matt Hardy on winning the Euro...oops, sorry... the ECW title. Nothing against Matt but that title is about on the same level as the European title was when it was active. However, I hope you have a long and successful reign.
Another congratualtions also goes out to Triple H for burrying four new guys on the WWE roster. I was truely rooting for Jeff to win, but I knew that with SmackDown's move from the CW to My Network TV that it would never happen because they are still convinced that Triple H is their best option as champion for ratings. Dispite the Raw ratings from earlier in the year, and before, that you point out otherwise. It's become evident that WWE is trying so hard to get Triple H to Ric Flair's record of 16 World titles that anyone that says that they're not obviously has they head burried in the sand or somewhere else for that matter.
Sticking with the Unforgiven theme for a minute I feel compelled to say that the World Heavyweight title change was one of the most craptastic things I have ever seen on WWE programing. Chris Jericho winning the World title on the same night that he wrestles Shawn Michaels in a match in which he's beaten so badly that the ref stops the match, not matter how he might have won the title in the match, is just plain stupid. Don't get me wrong, Jericho does deserve to be a World champion, but how it was done was stupid. If they wanted Punk to drop the belt they should have just have done it on Raw after the PPV. Punk being forced out of a defense to "sell" the Orton "punt" on a PPV is weak. They could have done that on Raw too.
Speaking of that "punt" move Randy Orton does. Note to WWE booking: No one will ever believe that the move actually causes any type of injuries that you want us to believe you are completely delusional.
It's nice to see Candice Michelle back on Raw. There were some rambling on-line about her moving to SmackDown upon her return, but I'm glad that WWE decided to leave her on Raw. The Women's title scene had become heel heavy over the last few months with the injuries and trades. However, with the return of Candice, Mickie James has but removed from our televisions lately. While I think Mickie is indeed deserving of a bit of a break from the road after basicly being the face side of the women on Raw for near two months now, I think that even a backstage segment or even a mention would be nice as well.
It's September 12th and still no blog from Freddie Prinze, Jr since July 31. I feel more deprived every day... WHY FREDDIE WHY?!
I heard the other day that ECW and SmackDown are going to be broadcasting/taping here in Spokane on October 7th. It's actually their first appearance here in almost 4 years and yet I probably still won't go. Had it been Raw I would be in line for tickets right now, but really don't feel like watch more Triple H burrials of talent for $30 a ticket. At least on TV I can change the channel for a few minutes or mute it if I don't like a curtain part. And besides, it's right after No Mercy so it's just gonna be a giant PPV recap show so I think I'll just skip it.
Come to think of it... the last WWE show I was at live was the SmackDown tapings right after WrestleMania XIX in Seattle. It was the one where Sable returned to WWE. It was a pretty good show. I met Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas when they were still known as "Team Angle" and were WWE Tag Team Champions. I got a couple autographs and they had the tag titles displayed on the table they were at. The titles look shiner in person.
That's it for this edition guys... Until next time...
