World Wrestling Entertainment
Stone Cold is finally back in
the WWE. His first time with a microphone was strange. He was not vulgar to
anyone, but was rather thankful to be back. Stone Cold was supposed to fight the
Rock, but they didn't (strange way to sell RAW, 03.03.03).
Nothing exciting has happened
in the WWE for a while. Maybe the promotion has reached another period of pure
stupid boredom. Aside from the GGW (Girls Gone Wild) and the Playboy cross
promotion deals, the WWE has been very dull for months. Not even the
four-hour-long Wrestlemania XIX (03.30.03) sounds exciting. Vince McMahon will
fight Hogan. The Rock will fight Stone Cold. Booker T will fight Triple-H for
the world heavyweight championship (the RAW title). Lesner will fight Angle for
the WWE championship (the Smackdown title). Limp Bizkit
will play live. Don't get me wrong. I like WWE, but where is the thrill as of
late?
UPN 9
in NYC pre-empted Smackdown (03.20.03). With the war, I doubt many wrestling
fans complained about not watching Smackdown. I watched the news all night on
Fox News
and CNN.
Rumors speak of trouble in
the WWE, from egos to money to loss in ratings. At least I know I am not the
only one wondering what is wrong with the WWE. Actually the answer is simple.
There is no competition. If Vince McMahon wants to keep WWE alive. He should
either invest in ECW or TNA. Around 1996 the WWF (now WWE) invited ECW to RAW.
That boosted ratings of both RAW and ECW. Another stupid move that will hurt WWE
eventually is the division of the promotion into RAW and Smackdown. Just put the
promotion together. Competition within the promotion is stupid.
Wrestlemania XIX (03.30.03)
was not exciting as it used to be. Goldberg is coming to WWE (big deal). Hogan
beat McMahon. Austin lost to the Rock. Lesner won the the WWE championship
(which is actually the Smackdown title).
Total Non-Stop Action
TNA has a deal with
Time Warner New York City
(channel 94). Time Warner New York City
will air XPlosion. That is good for most New York wrestling fans, but not for
me. I have RCN.
How long will I have to wait to watch XPlosion on RCN?
I am pissed.
