| After I was done watching WWF Smackdown this week, I realized something: WWF sucks ass at handling former ECW guys that have recently jumped ship. I was watching the Jeff Hardy vs. Jerry Lynn match and was kind of excited before it started. I was thinking to myself, “finally, Jerry Lynn isn’t on Jakked anymore and now has a chance to shine and show everyone how good of a wrestler he is.” During the match, I was getting even more excited. Both men put on a very good match considering that it was smackdown, and then it all went to hell. Jeff Hardy did his stupid series of moves and got the victory. WHAT THE HELL!!! DAMNIT!! WWF is pissing me off so much. For months they have kept Jerry Lynn on Jakked, beating jobbers (in pretty good matches I might add) and then put him on a big show and make him job to a giant flamer! Jerry Lynn has so much potential, and the WWF is just letting it go to waste. Now that he dropped the belt, I’m guessing that he’s going to go back to Jakked fighting such jobbers as Just Joe, Mike Bell, and Micheal Shane (I just realized how sad it is when I rememeber the names of jobbers). |
Doing the J-O-B |
| And
this isn’t just Jjerry Lynn we’re talking about. WWF is messing up with
other guys as well. Take Taz for example. Here you have the human suplex
machine, one of the best technical wrestlers in the sport. Since WWF has
this wrestler with tremendous talent on his hands, what do they do? They
put him as a commentator on Smackdown. Great…..just great. And when he
actually does wrestle, he’s usually doing the job putting over guys, like
Ryhno for example (who I will get to later). I mean, I seriously can’t
remember the last time that Taz has won a match, I really can’t.
Then we have Justin Credible. God did they mess up with Justin Credible. Sure, he might not be the best wrestler in the ringor on the mic, but he would be a pretty good midcarder. So what does WWF do? They stick him with X-Pac. Of all people X-Pac. Dear god, why does the WWF still keep pushing this guy. Don’t they realize that he SUCKS!!! Justin Credible is another guy doing the J-O-B on J-A-K-K-E-D. The final guy that I’m going to look at is Tajiri. Now, I know that WWF is trying to set him up for some kind of story line, but putting him as Regal’s butler? Give me a break! Tajiri is one of the most talented wrestlers that the WWF has right now, and he hasn’t even been on any matches yet!! Just end this stupid butler story line and put him in a wrestling match! Whenever Tajiri is shown on the screen, you can hear the crowd cheer for him. The fans know who he is, and they want him to step into that ring and show off the amazing ring skills that he has! |
Doing The J-O-B! I'm Noticing a Pattern.... |
| Now,
I know I may seem a little harsh, and I will admit that WWF is doing some
good things. I’m glad that Ryhno (why the stupid spelling change??) is
getting a semi-decent push, and it looks like he is going to be a regular
in the intercontinental division. Also, I seems that the WWF is also setting
up Raven for something big down the line, which I’m hopeful will turn into
something major. Also, the story line with Spike Dudley and Molly Holly
is turning out to be very funny, and hopefully this’ll give Spike a good
boost with the fans. And right now I’m most happy with the pushes that
ex-ECW wrestlers Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit are getting. It seems that
Triple HHH getting injured was a pretty good thing after all, giving other
guys a chance to shine. However, I hope WWF keeps these guys in the main
event, and not drop them down to midcard after Triple HHH comes back (*cough*
Kurt Angle *cough*).
Anyways, I’m glad I finally got that off my chest. I know the WWF is crowded enough as it is and that some people aren’t getting the pushes that they deserve, but I think a good suggestion would be to take some of these guys and put them into the new WCW. Right now WCW is short on big name stars, and it seems that some guys like Taz, Tajiri, and Kurt Angle (I know he wasn’t ever in ECW but I’m trying to prove a point) would be best suited there because they would have a better chance of getting pushes. |
At Least Some Guys are Getting Pushes! |
| OK, I’m done for this week. Next week, I’ll hopefully be in a better mood and also in better health (being sick SUCKS ASS!!) to write about the regularly scheduled ECW filled happy smiling time column. So this is El Loco Hombre signing off until next week. |
