The Truth: A Few Thoughts

There s a few things around the world of wrestling worth noting on, so I’ll mention a few and if anyone has their own ideas, feel free to post em.

 


 

Randy Orton’s title reign seems to be a point of contention. It was posted here that Raw had its worst rating in about two years and some are blaming Orton. I’m not putting this one on Orton as he is the biggest star in the WWE right now. If anyone is to blame its creative for hitting the panic button and giving him the title back. All that momentum his character had built up, in part due to his chase for the gold, was wiped away by his win on Sunday. The audience loves him, so let that momentum build, in a drawn out pursuit of the gold, where he captures it in a 1 on 1 setting in a big name feud. Orton may draw as champ but unless they take the belt away quickly and make him the one pursuing it, those awful ratings could become a trend.

Matt Hardy seems to be trying to force his way out the door. I think if he wasn’t trying so hard via his twitter, or where ever the hell he posts these things, WWE may have already set him free.  There is a big storyline waiting for him in TNA if and when he does leave, so for the sake of both companies and more importantly us wrestling fans, do the honorable thing and let him go. At least that way we can have a few weeks of watchable programming on TNA, you know until they screw it up. Optimism.

I hope this latest run means that John Morrison is finally going to get above the mid card. Hes got the talent and the look and it was nice to see a determined looking Morrison on Raw, so maybe thats a sign of things to come. Then again Shelton Benjamin was one of the most talented performers of this era, so who knows.

I like everyone else am completely annoyed with Michael Cole s attempt at becoming a heel announcer. Centerman said it right on his post, hes not clever or entertaining, hes just annoying, enough said. Never thought the day would come when I was pining for the return of Mike Ademle. (ahh memories)

Well those are just a few, I’m sure there will be more, particularly with the number of PPV’s we have in the next few months. Oh and for that person who posted that loving response to my last article, there is 4 PPVs in a two month span not 3, so next time you re gonna rip on something, at least be right about it first.

I do wanna give credit to Randy Orton for speaking the best line on WWE television in recent memory. ” I would RKO my grandmother if it meant keeping this title… and then I would RKO your grandmother just to see the look on her face.”

Priceless
