Jack Swagger what a great pick up for Raw this kid has got the makings of being something special, a fresh new face with so much promise whom has the potenital in a very short space of time if groomed correctly to make a huge impact on the WWE. Swagger is a two time All American whom has had a great ameature up bringing, who'll obviously need to spend some time in the intercontinential mid cards learning & improving his craft before he gets the huge big push which maybe about a year away.
But that's not all I'm excited for the first time in a long while since the pre- Rock, Austin, & DX era that the WWE has in it's stable so many future potential young colts ready to show what they have the likes of John Morrison whom is getting their fast his star is on the rise bigger then when in tag team wrestling , Tyson Kidd, David Boy Smith these two need a bit more time before they get a push like Swagger, but it's amazing how quickly some can run & carry the football once given the opportunity, then there's Ted Dibiase Junior so much potential whom in short while will need to get away from Orton not yet but soon, the same goes for Cody Rhodes , Kofi Kingston & Miz to add to the roster which the WWE is building with all this new exciting talent.
Throw in Kozlov & Christain to add to that grouping then you can see why I'm starting to get excited but I still don't agree with the decision to get rid of Umaga I can understand Mr Kennedy & to a point maybe Candice Michelle, the light at the end of the tunnel is starting to appear quicker then I thought it wolud because let's be honest about it we need some new blood to make better stronger cards to give us better ppv's to watch provided the story writers know how best to utilize each of the new bloods strengths & weaknesses.
I have no doubt that John Morrison within the next year or two will become a regular main event wrestler, he has had great grounding in tag team competition which is why the tag teams should always remain strong because so many singles champions have emerged like HBK, Bret ' The Hitman ' Hart, Davey Boy Smith ( aka British Bulldog ) to name a couple & now it will be John Morrison he is getting better all the time plus he is comfortable on the microphone as well as being a good heel or hero wrestler.
Does anyone feel ripped off by this latest ppv, the CM Punk vs Jeff Hardy match, Great Khali vs Ziggler match, Cena vs Miz etc, Three Stages of Hell, how come the referee tried to take the chair out of Triple's H hands when it was a falls count anywhere match during the second fall of the match. CM Punk pretending his eye hurt the fans had every right to scream ****. Anyone not think Michelle McCool would defeat Melina in what was the second best match of the night after the Rey vs Y2J fight.
Vince making Teddy look bad doesn't help improve your ratings having shocking ppv's & raw & smackdown does, you want to blame someone for the low ratings his a go blame your storywriters whom lack imagination & the current roster not being able to work without a stressful environment each time a superstars losses you start wondering whether that'll mean they'll be the next to be sacked like Umaga , Mr Kennedy, Boogeyman, Candice, Santino etc.
The third good match of night was the ECW title match which saw Tommy Dreamer become ECW Champion was a good entertaining match come to think of it but not one match you would look bakc on & say I"m going to buy the ppv dvd The Bash wehn released.
I wrote a blog last week Donald Trump yeah right knowning all along it was never going to be what Vince made us believe it would be. Does Vince McMahon's ego need that much boosting by needing to buy back the Raw show for twice the value give me a break & to make out he fired Donald Trump, what's going to happen next Vince selling the raw brand to TNA then buy it back the week after for three times the value. This is typical of the decisions be made lately by the WWE & why their ppv's & some storylines lack alot of real substance.
When Vince sells the WWE then I'll take the RAW storyline with Donald Trump as owner of the Raw brand seriously. A guy whom knows just as much about wrestling as Ted Turner will be given free reign to do as he pleases, then I suppose Vince won't interfere if Donald Trump decides to bring back guys like Boogeyman, Umaga & Mr Kennedy or sign up guys like Sting or 3D afterall it's his show now isn't it so why would Vince interfere at all.
I can understand the shock thoery behind Vince's announcement but really Vince still owns the talent, merchandise, ppv's etc so will Trump have a say on any of this I doubt it however I must commend Vince on pulling a rabbit out of the hat because really how many would have predicted Donald getting involved until Vince uttered the words " I RECEIVED A OFFER THAT EVEN BLOW ME AWAY & THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN IF AT ALL POSSIBLE ", on top of the way Vince spoke about it then Donald mocking him the way he did it was all cue card reading.
I have to admit it is a huge change in wwe business tactics if I can put it that way because WWE must really be struggling if they need Trump to get involved yes he is well known for his business knowledge world wide but that's when he controls things & is pulling the strings how long will Donald go along with the storyline or beter yet Vince until this storyline evaparates.
