Its almost more important these days to be a better actor than wrestler in the wresting biz.

It helps, you can be the best worker on that roster if you have no charisma or ability to speak you won't be on top.

Dude, her husband is dead because of what he did for this industry. I think she would want to stay away, rather than continue to stay involved and make jokes.

Well you go one way or the other, I doubt she complains about the money she makes for it.

Also: JEFF HARDY IS ****ING reerunED

I'm surprised that I'm surprised.

Vince did the right thing by hiring Vicki. Vicki is supporting her family in the business that Eddie lived and died for. Its a shame Benoit didn't just kill himself first, so Nancy could have gotten the same treatment as Vicki.

That was my reaction as well. I guess I thought that maybe he'd smarten up now that he's gotten the brass to notice his immense popularity and place him in the main event picture. :doh!:

She was awesome. :(

Jesus Christ that still hurts so much.

He's screwed himself as much as anybody possibly could, twice in the last year. Both times when he was probably on the way to a title. I don't see any way they'll ever give him a push again, because one more fail (which everybody knows is just a matter of time) and he's gone.

Even Kennedy didn't fuck up quite that bad.

I thought ECW was pretty bad this week, after a great opening match. Putting Punk against Big Fatty V had to be about the stupidest MitB qualifyer I've ever seen, and, of course, they couldn't let him find a way to win clean, or at least in a way that built him as strong (which isn't a surprise, the way they've been putting Chavo over him).

And no way he wins MitB. If you noticed last night, on the promo shot that had a belt-toting Jericho in the front, the two guys in the back were...MVP (who's inevitably going to lose his belt to Blahtista) and Punk. You could barely even see them behind such greats as Carlito, the afformentioned Kenney, Morrison and Shelton Benjamin. Hell, if you look at that lineup, I don't see how it's going to be a good match this year, anyway. Jericho's the only legit "star". Shelton usually comes through, but there's no edge, no hardy, just a bunch of mid-card guys. And since the winnner gets an "anytime, anywhere, any title" shot, I don't see how they give it to any ECW guys, which means Punk, Morrison and Benjamin are out, unless they've moving one of them to a main show. Carlito? They're not putting a belt on him. That leaves Jericho and (ugh) Kennedy, who won last year as you'll recall, knocking Punk off the ladder. Oh, and MVP.

Anyway, as much as I didn't like the last 45 minutes of ECW, Smackdown last night was all but unwatchable.

I haven't watched much lately. I admit it. I do flip it on every now again and usually stay captivated for no more than 5 minutes. My question is this, why? I have some ideas. Rock, Stone Cold, Angle, and others are gone. Although, there are other guys that could take their place IMO.

I think that they killed wrestling with the brand extensions. They just don't have enough main event quality guys to fill shows. They need to let their top tiered stars run the main events on each show. What do you think? Why is wrestling less watched now? Is it the stars? Is it the brand extensions I mentioned? Could it be stale story lines? What's your opinion?

God damn, imaginary slights ahoy.

Punk's the scrappy face who's been getting screwed by Chavo and is trying to get his title back. Until they have a definitive plan and an opponent for when he gets it back (Morrison's probably headed to Smackdown, and I guess they're not certain of Shelton yet), there's not much they can do beyond keeping him chasing. So he's going to get knocked around a bit. That's essentially the role. Just because Cena loses the week before the PPV doesn't mean he's not going to be coming out on top, you know?

And MITB looks awesome. Jericho, Punk, MVP, Morrison, and Benjamin? Sign me the **** up, regardless of who's going to win and where they're going with it.

No, he's not. I don't know what they're doing, but reality is that he's lost clean twice to Chavo, first at the PPV and then two weeks ago. This goes back a month. No interference, no cheating. Clean pins. They set it up great with all the antics and then have him do the job. To f'n chavo, of all people.

This is Punk in 2008, sad to say. My guess is that they don't know what they're doing with him, either. It's really bizarre. They treat him like he's a star, put his face/shirts on the merch ads, had him highlighted as one of the stars on the promo for last week's 3 hour raw, and then they don't follow through.

I don't know about Morrison going to SD. I know Umaga is, for a longer program with Batista, but I haven't heard anything about morrison. Actually, the most logical move would be Punk. They'd started to set it up for a feud with Edge weeks ago. I know you like him, but at this point, Morrison's a lower midcarder. The fact that he and the Miz have the tag titles shows just how meaningless the WWE thinks the tag division is (who has the other pair, Cody Rhodes and Bob Holly? Or did they lose them?). Anyway, right now, Morrison's just another guy on the C show. Although that trashcan moonsault was great.

(I thought they should've put Delaney and Dreamer over them on Tuesday, I think that crowd would have made it meaningful).

Yeah, the crowd would have exploded if Dreamer and Delaney had won Tuesday night.

And don't even mention a Punk-Edge feud, because it's too awesome to even imagine.

Did they just ****ing break up the Hooliganz?

Their best tag team?

Which hasn't even been on TV as a team in months?

RIP, Londrick.
RIP, tag-team division.
