So I’m watching SmackDown! on my DVR and I caught the Vito vs. Sylvan match. Now, why would I watch such an awful match? I watched the match because it’s a good sign for WWE Creative. While I know both men have terrible gimmicks, at least the two have gimmicks and storylines.
For some time now the midcarders would come out and just wrestle without any clear direction. Now both Sylvan and Vito have direction and terrible storylines – but at least they have direction and a storyline. Not too long ago, a bunch of wrestlers were let go because the WWE had “nothing for them.”
These two will never be World Champion (they’ll probably never reach U.S. Title contention either) – but creative has something for them. Something is better than nothing.
BTW, King Bookah is great in his role as “The King.”
