Raw is wank
Unwow, wrestling was made of SO WHAT last night. Less is more, way more, when it comes to Umaga. I stopped caring counting at 4 appearances. And the recaps, my sweet Lord, save me from the recaps! Replays replayed before I even stopped not caring about the first run. The kicker recap? Paul London went into ultra flippy mode, and the camera man missed it. Just got a glimpse of flying feet. THEY REPLAYED THAT. NOT A BETTER ANGLE OR SHOT. JUST HIS FEET. A GLIMPSE OF HIS FEET . What they did not replay was shot of the Bon-Bon on all fours, while wearing semi-tiny reffing panties.
Lazy everything, all around. To set-up Randy’s absence for a later omg! Run-in. they claimed he was in Chicago. WHY CHICAGO? Was he camping out for No Mercy tickets? Is it illegal to travel from Chicago to Cleveland, and therefore close to impossible for Randy to show up? And, yeah. The minute they started bleating about Chicago, was the minute everyone looked towards the ramp for a run-in.
Save_us.222 was upgraded to Savior_self.1. I flip-flop from dreading it’s Edge (I saw a PPV poster (new or not, IDK), and Edge is looking very The Shining in it. Character re-boot, ala Matrix-y promos?) and hoping it’s Jericho. Sometimes, too, just for fun, I think it’s some poor newbie, and he’s gonna be hated from the get-go just because he’s not Jericho.
And lamely, I kinda hope it isn’t Jericho. I adore Jericho. I have faith in all things Jericho. But, really, what can he and his awesomeness do for WWE at this point? Everyone he’s had history with (excepting Cena and HHH) is gone: Lance, Benny, Trish, Christian, etc., and creating “relationships” is where Jericho’s true showmanship shines. I think it’s going to be a lot like when Jericho first jumped over, and he floundered a bit because he didn’t have Goldberg to pester, and Ralphus to drag around, and J.J. Dillion to annoy with rule book loopholes, and Lenny Lane to demand the return of Loverboy cassettes from.
Even on the wrestling front, I doubt. I’ve always loved that Jericho can get watchable matches out of anyone—he’s done it with Mark Henry, most notably. But you know what? I don’t want watchable matches with Umaga and the Boogey man. I want ***** matches. I want to squeak. I want to bounce on the couch and smack the coffee table, and yell for Moe to “C’mere”. I want to rewind TiVo, not ff it.
