After the Diva's match on Raw, does that mean we only have 1 "face" Diva?
Great question and beats me. WWE has done such a poor job with defining the character and motivations of their Divas that I have just gotten used to it. I had hoped that with the call ups of the NXT three that things would change, but they haven’t. Hell, we had Paige invoke the name of Charlotte’s dead brother and it turned into a throwaway. To make matters worse, Charlotte turned (I guess) a few weeks later. It’s so sad.
I watched a iron man match between Rick Rude and Ricky Steamboat. I saw at the end of the match Steamboat roll out of the ring and a grandma and a child no older than 7 go to see if he's alright. With WWE still trying to appeal to kids, why do they not portray matches today like they did back in the day, two guys putting on a real contest? RIP Kayfabe I guess.
That is a great point. WWE has gone from being wrestling entertainment, to a different form. As I say all of the time, I have no problem with adding aspects of entertainment to the product, but that big ring is in the middle of every building for a very good reason. Everything on the show should revolve around what happens in there. The fight and the reason for it should never be an afterthought and far too often it is.
I've wondered for a while now, would it be appropriate to have a in memoriam at Wrestlemania after the hall of fame class was introduced? They do it at the Oscars every year.
I don’t think it’s appropriate at Mania. The Oscars is an awards show, Mania is not. If they wanted to do it at The Hall Of Fame, I could understand it. But I don’t think bringing down the audience at Mania reminding them about people that passed makes sense.
With the alleged new signings by WWE. It seems to me there is only a handful of guys left out there. Lethal, Strong, Galloway come to mind as top indy stars left. Who else do you think is left for WWE to sign?
There are plenty of talented wrestlers out there not currently signed to WWE. I don’t want to drop names and leave someone out, so I will just leave it at plenty. And keep in mind, there are a lot of guys in NXT that people know very little about. At the end of the day, NXT making new talent is what will supply WWE in the future.
What are your thoughts on Jeff Jarrett. As a promoter in TNA he kept the World Title on himself during what I feel was their heyday, however the X Division was the real draw. Before that in WCW, he was world champ and lead a version of the NWO and still drew nothing. His WWE run was unremarkable other than being the first person to drop a mens title to a woman. Do you think anyone has EVER bought a ticket to see JJ... (not since USWA anyway)
I think he was a solid, upper mid-card talent. You can’t blame him for his push in WCW, as he wasn’t in charge. I don’t blame him for making himself the champ in TNA either as he was a former World Champion, and also had his money in the project. Since I saw people wearing his merchandise over the years, I think it’s fair to say at least some people paid to see him wrestle.
