WWE DotCom Delivery – Week of 02/21/08

Reviews, Shows, Webshows

As you probably read, WWE released Scotty Goldman, aka Colt Cabana, this weekend. Why would they do that? Beats me. I’m not a ROH fanboy so I’m not reaping my hair off and declaring the end of the world. But he obviously has the mic skills and charisma to be at least a successful midcarder, if not higher (I can’t judge his wrestling skills by what he did in WWE but he can’t be bad). It only took three weeks for his DotCom show to become one of my favorites, and I know I’m not the only one here. SO why not give him a real chance? Nice going WWE, nice. On with this week’s Delivery, including a review of Scotty’s final show.

The word of the week on Word Up is WIGGIN’ – to act insane or to straight up flip yo’ lid. Christian Bale’s tirade? That’s wiggin’. But apparently the real cause of that wiggin’ was Cody Rhodes. For real.

Scotty Goldman’s show got a new title, and it’s now called Good As Goldman. That’s smart WWE, repackage the show and then fire Goldman. I guess they fired because he talked about religion, politics or time travel, all taboo. In honor of Presidents’ Day, He mentions some of the presidents WWE had over the years, including Linda McMahon (Did mentioning her name got him fired?). He even supports Mr. Backlund’s presidency campaign (remember that?) and when Backlund says everyone has to get a job, Scotty says he has one – doing this show. Not any more Scotty, NOT ANY MORE!

After last week’s revelation that Goldust was Santino’s secret admirer, this week’s Santino’s Casa is a bit gloomy. So in order to prove his masculinity (to himself), he plays a couple of rounds of “Diva or Drag Queen” and puts Operation Manhood Reset back on track.

The Dirt Sheet is a rerun of Miz & Morrison’s take on The Dark Knight. Good show but still, a rerun.

And Josh finishes things off with the Weekly Top Five for the week that followed No Way Out. MVP & R-Truth vs. Shelton Benjamin & Chavo Guerrero from SmackDown, with the clustrf*ck it turned into is number 5, followed by the absolutely amazing faceoff between Chris Jericho and Roddy Piper from Raw at number 4. ECW is back at number 3 with the main event tag-team match. Edge vs. Jeff Hardy from SmackDown takes the number 2 spot and finally, Raws unsanctioned match between Shane McMahon and Randy Orton, with its aftermath is the number one item this week.

Bye Bye Scotty Goldman, we will miss you.
