Recently there's been a lot of controversial occurences in the world
of professional wrestling, and now, I will give my opinion on them.
Why? Because I can!
First, we'll start with the Undertaker's new angle. Many people seem
to be upset with the way this angle is going. There is huge
discussions about how the World Wrestling Federation is crossing the
lines of religion by having the Accolytes worship him as if he were a
god, and by having the Undertaker hang Steve Austin on something that
closely resembled a cross.
Also, people seem to be upset about how the Undertaker is performing
human sacrifices. These people are saying that they don't want their
children watching that type of programming.
Hey folks, put on your thinking caps and tell me what country you
live in. Here, I'll give you a hint; it's the land of the free. Where,
if you run a television show, you can put whatever you want on that
show. (Within any limitations set forth by your network.) And, if the
viewres don't appreciate what you present on your television show,
they are free to change the channel to any program theat they feel
they would like to watch.
That's right, it's the United States of America. So shut your damn
mouths before I check your asses into the Smackdown Hotel.
Next topic. Paul Wight (The Giant) has apparently dodged all of WCW's
tactics and made it to the end of his contract. (Which ends on
February 9.) And he will apparently jump ship to the best of the best,
the World WRestling Federation.
I love this. I feel Paul Wight could help the WWF in ways that only a
few have ever been able to do. I see Wight becoming the top heel in
the federation, and performing with some of the best that professional
wrestling has to offer. Such as, The Rock, Steve Austin, Mankind, Kane
and the Undertaker.
Paul Wight could help the WWF to send a message to other youthful
talent, such as Chris Jericho. The WWF wants these wrestlers to see
the oportunity that they could have by jumping ship to the WWF.
Paul Wight was misused by WCW so bad. He was put in meaningless feuds
and was all but forgotten. Now, however, Wight could become on of the
biggest names in the business. Which is exactly what could happen to
other wrestlers. Such as, Chris Jericho.
I really hope that Chris Jericho can hold out. Jericho would be so
much better off anywhere else than WCW. He would, in all honesty,
benefit most from the WWF.
Let's all keep our fingers crossed and hope that Chris Jericho can
hold out just like Paul Wight did.
Now, we're going to move on to the biggest story in professional
wrestling.
The World Wrestling Federation and World Championship Wrestling are,
undoutebly, bitter enemies. Recently the two organizations have
started taking pot shots at one another.
The whole scene started when Tony Schiavonne told everyone that was
watching Nitro, exactly how the WWF's counter program, Monday Night
Raw, would end.
Schiavonne told everyone that Mick Foley would win the WWF World
Heavyweight Title. Schaivonne then went on to basically say that, he
felt, that was not an exciting angle.
Yet, why when most fans have been waiting for the day that Mick Foley
would win a world title, would WCW want to tell everyone that the WWF
is going to give him one later in the evening?
WCW just basically invited everyone to change the channel to the WWF.
Which, by looking at the ratings for that night, everyone did so.
Now, when the WWF brought out Gillberg, I laughed harder than I have
in a long time. I loved every minute of that angle. I'm so glad that
the WWF is going to continue this angle for a while longer.
I also thought it was funny when Eric Bischoff made fun of Paul
Wight. Rumor has it that when Wight goes to the WWF, his name will be
Titan the Corporate Giant.
So when Bischoff said "The Titanic just sank, say hello to Kevin
Nash, the NWO Corporate Giant", I laughed, I thought it was clever.
However, when Eric Bischoff made fun of Jim Ross, that kind of
angered me. Now, I'm all for the fact that people can say and do
whatever they want, but come on Eric, Jim Ross just suffered a relapse
of Bell's Palsy. The man could hardly move his face when Bischoff made
that comment.
How could Eric Bischoff make such a comment about someone in that
condition. Show a little respect Eric.
Then again, I forget who I'm talking about. Eric Bischoff and the
rest of the WCW officials have no respect. Especially for their
talent. It's all about politics in WCW. If you don't kiss Eric
Bischoff's and Hulk Hogan's asses, you don't get anywhere.
WCW has no respect for what the fans want either. Nobody wanted to
see Jay Leno wrestling. No one wanted to see Karl Malone wrestling
either. Now, Dennis Rodman, sure, due to his nature, I'm sure people
wanted to see him in the ring. But that's about it.
WCW constantly does what it feels it would benefit the most from,
however the fans have showed that they don't like what WCW has to
offer. Which is exactly why Raw has won the ratings for 12 weeks
straight. Think about that, for the past 3 months, the WWF has wont he
ratings by giving the fans what they want. Fresh exciting angles, that
are cutting edge.
So unless WCW just does not want to be the best wrestling
organization, I suggest that they start listening to the fans and
start showing a little bit of respect to those who deserve it.
Basically, WCW just needs to shut their damn mouths and know their
role.
