A Brand New Wrestling Asylum Rant - The Reply
November 8th 2011 21:21
It's been 623 days since I posted here, apparently, so I figured that while I have an hour to kill, I'd post something of a rebuttal to Dave's rant. 
"But the worst thing is now there is a roster spot for Chyna, who has written to Vince asking for a job"
As strange as this may sound coming from me, who isn't a great fan of Chyna, I actually wouldn't mind seeing Joanie Laurer back in the WWE, but only for a short term program with Beth Phoenix. They would have the most unique build up to a Divas match in the history of the WWF/E, being the only two women to participate in the Royal Rumble, and let's face it, when Beth came into the WWE the second time (following her broken jaw), she was basically called the second coming of Chyna.
"Nash also made another return, but no one cares about that, no really no one."
That's not true, and you know it.
While Nash was never a great worker, he could still be of some use in today's WWE, if he works a schedule similar to that of Mick Foley. Of course, his quads, biceps and various other body parts would also have to remain in tact.
"Air Boom has finally found a person that's going to beat them, yep, the WWE Wellness Policy has taken the WWE World Tag Team Titles from Air Boom. Or would have ordinarily. Seems smoking fake weed is enough to get you suspended, but not enough for you to lose your title."
I have to wonder what CM Punk thinks about his buddy Evan Bourne smoking any weed, let alone fake weed. As for the WWE Tag Team titles, I can possibly see them invoking a 30-day no compete clause, but if they do that, it may well lead to a Tag Team tournament... Instead, what I would like to see, is at Survivor Series, they go with a Tag Team gauntlet... Except, other than Air Boom and Awesome Truth, the WWE don't really have any established tag teams, although Swagger and Ziggler could make good, albeit interim Tag Team Champions.
"Yep, WWE had Natalya lose clean and in a pretty quick, lame match to Alicia Fox."
In fairness, I haven't entirely enjoyed this angle to begin with, I tried to get behind it, as I am the biggest fans of both Natalya and Beth Phoenix. I can see this going one of two ways. The angle comes to a quiet, unrewarding end for both divas, or, my preferable route, would be for Beth Phoenix to get tired of Natalya's losing ways, building to a match at Wrestlemania, and in a perfect world, they'd get more than 5 minutes to showcase how good the two divas can be.
"Roode/Storm/TNA World title situation rant"
From a purely common sense point of view, I can see why people haven't been thrilled with how this angle played out, but the double title change was caused by other factors. First, TNA knew they royally screwed up at Bound for Glory by not putting the title on Roode in the first place, especially with Kurt Angle working through injuries. Then, they put the title on the Storm, only for Storm to suffer a concussion at a house show, resulting in a second title change in as many weeks. And while the shows are taped two or so weeks in advance in some instances, in the long run, it might be the best thing TNA did by putting the belt on Roode last week, considering Storm's health.
"Gail Kim's return"
I'm not a fan of Gail Kim, but at least it led to my girl, Madison Rayne getting another title to add to her resume.
"John Morrison rant"
Saying that Morrison doesn't have the skills or moveset to wow the crowd is a bit harsh, when as soon as a few months ago, he was in the top 3 faces in the WWE (behind Cena which is debatable, and CM Punk), but the way the WWE has booked him, as well as Morrison losing any semblance of motivation after Melina (his real life girlfriend was released) has caused Morrison to all but give up on his WWE career, at this point at least. I feel he's just biding his time until his WWE contract is up, before he heads to TNA or Ring of Honor without having to deal with a 90-day no compete clause.
Anyway, that covers the parts I wanted to offer a differing perspective from. I hope you enjoyed reading this.
