ECW. WTF. 19 segments with Ricky Ortiz and his cumrag. Ugh. And now he's hooked up with Tiffany, and she likes to rub the "O-rally" towel on her face. I'm making NONE of this up.
Let me complain about Ricky Ortiz some more. His storyline tonight ran COUNTER to to all forms of storytelling logic, jeopardy and non-bullshittery. The set-up, the Miz and Morrison are bragging themselves up. Teddy Long and Ricky Ortiz waddle to the ramp. Long sets up a match between Miz and Morrison, with the winner earning an immediate match against Ortiz. WHAT
WHAT
Let's review all the mistakes in that. The first match is two heel frienemies having to wrestle each other. While there is minor joy in watching two douchebags have to wrestle each other, it is nowhere near the angsty-fun to be had from two faces forced to wrestle each other AM I RITE. Then Ortiz gets to wrestle the worn-out winner. Ortiz, the face, gets to fight a winded, weakened opponent. Neither fair fight nor moral victory. Flipped, the storyline has tons of appeal, the greatly man-pained for having fought his friend face now must wrestle another match, this time against a rested heel. See the extra jeopardy there? See it? Hello?
The only highlight was JR announcing "Ortiz had a big O on Miz!"
19 segments with Ricky Ortiz and his cumrag, a Mark Henry "pro-mo", and NO PRECIOUS.
