This is a interesting time to be a wrestling fan. You have the tag team division building with people losing their minds in excitement over the Hardys versus Nitro and Kenny Dykstra, with The World’s Greatest Tag Team watching and then the new “good guys” Cade and Murdoch saving the day. The Hardys are so incredibly over right now, they rival Cena as some of the top faces in the company. Finally, the WWE is building the tag division, making it more than a two-tag team division. It still has a long way to go, including adding Cryme Tyme in the mix.
I like Candice’s improvement, and the possibility of creating intrigue of “who is training her” – my guess would be Mickie James unless they bringing someone else in or going to use someone like Nitro or Kenny Dykstra as a swerve.
What makes me leave my seat (the things I don’t care about):
More of Lashley versus the McMahons and their same-old angles: I like Bobby Lashley, but I’m very tired of seeing him be the Stone Cold of 2007. There is nothing creative when the McMahons create a gauntlet against the baby face, when it has been done before and you know it’s one of two concepts: the participants are tag teams or they are jobbers to the stars. The ECW-ish PPV is in two weeks but I don’t know if people care enough to see Lashley versus McMahon in a Street Fight. I guess whatever it takes to take the belt off McMahon, if ECW bothers to remain on life support for the summer.
Concussion angles: I hate them. They are a bad idea to take someone off TV for, knowing how often it can happen in wrestling. If you want to work the knee surgery, focus on the knees then, you still get the dramatic affect of having Orton as the legend killer and HBK can have his huge comeback. People care about HBK, you don’t have to create so much drama with a injury to get that affect. My theory is Triple H will return first and come back to punk out Orton, getting his huge baby face comeback and possibly reuniting D-X.
Where I’m in the middle of the aisle about:
John Cena/The Great Khali Drama: Cena’s good when he’s solid on the mic, and the WWE still taps into his babyface energy fan base, but then he gets squashed or pulls of a fluke win. Which means, this feud is far from over and it should eventually mean The Great Khali will defeat Cena for the win. WWE is really limited in what it can do right now without bringing new fresh faces in, and is pretty dependent on Cena carrying the company on Hulk Hogan like praise over Khali and his Giant heat.
