I'm confused.
Okay, maybe I'm not confused. Maybe I'm just a little...narcissistic. I am not the epitome of wrestling knowledge or am I the director of the Pro Wrestling School of Thought...but I do fancy myself as being somewhat knowledgeable of the product, esp. as I continued to spend my money on the dvds and video games. There's your stimulus plan right there.
But, I'm hopping around the internet, gazing upon people's thoughts on last night's NO WAY OUT ppv, and there are people clamoring about how predictable things were.
Why so serious? Better yet, ARE YOU SERIOUS?
For example: the average wrestling fan figured that Kofi wouldn't win the RAW Elimination Chamber Match. As a matter of fact, I figured he'd be eliminated 1st...and I was right to an extent. I NEVER expected Edge to take Kofi out clean before the man even made it to the ring steps, and I definately didn't expect him to take the man's place in the match.
Then, I thought for sure John Cena would retain his belt despite Edge being inserted in the match...after all, Cena has pratically wiped half of this country with Edge's body, so why wouldn't he do the same here. But, a Codebreaker, 619, and Spear is all it took to eliminate the unstoppable John Cena from the match. Really didn't expect that to happen.
THEN, with it just being Jericho, Mysterio, and Edge left, I didn't know how to call it. Jericho is eliminated, and it's just down to Mysterio and Edge. By this point in the PPV, I was so amped that I couldn't stop the adrenaline from flowing in my body in order to logically surmise that *in boring Ben Stein voice* "Edge would win the championship."
If you are one of the few fans that "predicted" all of that, then why are you still watching pro wrestling? You should be making millions of dollars somewhere by bending spoons with your mind or using a fake Caribbean accent to cajole people into "calling you now!"
After last night's ppv, I was too shocked to answer questions, and I think No Way Out did exactly what it was supposed to do: make all of us want to tune in tonight to see what happens next. To question the rationale of the Creative Team's move to have both titles on one show...again...is counterproductive to their logic. Logically speaking, this will have everyone across the country tuned in to RAW just to see what happens; after last week's lackluster episode, this ppv was the boost they needed with 6 weeks to build up for their biggest ppv of the year, not to mention the WWE Draft come the following night.
And who know's what they're building up to? It was mentioned somewhere that the WWE was thinking of having one heavyweight champion compete on multiple shows. One fan mentioned that there could possibly be a Fatal 4 Way Match at Wrestlemania 25 to unify both titles, featuring Cena, Orton, HHH, and Edge. How sexy would that be? Very.
Let's wait until tonight's RAW before we totally bury WWE. After all, it's not like we were watching Against All Odds last night...
