Yes, I haven’t written a post in a while. I’ve just become burnt out on the crap that is the WWE right now.
Where do I start? K-Fed? Cryme Tyme? DX? Angle’s departure? The Miz? The return of the Boogeyman?
I’m not sure where to start. Monday Night Football’s been very good lately. I was heavily interested in the Giants-Cowboys game presented in HD. I kept flipping back to Raw but I just couldn’t care. Two hours of show and generally it’s awful. It has its moments – but as of late, they’ve been few and far between.
So what now? I’m thinking about giving TNA a shot. (If you’re snickering because that sounds like a dirty joke, then you probably love the DX skits.) Impact isn’t that long a show and they’re forced to tell stories in a meaningful way in a short amount of time. Compare that to the bloated 5 hours of television owned by the WWE. They have so much time that they can’t possibly come up with good material for every show.
As much as I enjoy watching Edge heel a crowd or Finley kick someone’s ass – I just don’t think I can watch these shows like I used to. Maybe it’s because I’m getting old. Maybe I just don’t think DX is funny and they’re on TV a lot. Maybe I can’t stand to hear another Randy Orton promo, an Orton Promo (Did you get that? He repeats things a lot. If you haven’t noticed that before, take a listen the next time).
So what will this site be about if it isn’t about the current WWE product? Probably more NWA-TNA wrestling, WWE PPVs (late, since I’ll probably wait for the DVD on Netflix), other DVDs and probably specific matches. I’ll record the shows, and maybe fast-forward to something that may be good.
So the State of Wrestling is not good, kids (at least on the WWE-side of things). Anyone want to try to buy the company from Vince? Get some new writers? I don’t know – maybe have wrestling matches that have storylines and wrestlers who desire to be the champion? Crazy, I know.
I have issues with NWA as well. Many wrestlers are spot-machines who don’t know how to tell a story – so who knows how many spot-fests I can sit through? Their set looks like something out of American Gladiators with the silly lasers. And as much as I think JR has lost a step in announcing, I’d much rather hear him than Don West screaming every second. The guy sounds like a shop at home infomercial host.
