Happy Valentine's Day, hope it was good to you.
How far is too far?:
Ever wonder that, and I mean honestly question that- not because it's the morally p. c. or anything, but truly give a rat's ass? I wasn't really put off about the Edge and Vickie love angle, because I feel like Eddie would support it. He was just that way, and I mean that in a good way. People have to move on eventually after a tragedy and loss, and no one can decide when that time is except the ones going through the real pain- not the surrogate pain we as fans feel. I get e-mails on a weekly basis about how this angle somehow stains the legacy of Eddie Guerrero. Listen kids, nothing done now could taint the name of Eddie Guerrero. He's above that, and probably above us now watching proudly over his wife and the work she's doing. I feel she's doing a fine job, and deserves more praise than criticism.
That being said, even I'm a little nervous about the implied incest angle we're seeing on RAW now. I actually dug Burchill as a pirate, but oh well. This "special" relationship implied between Katie Lea and Paul Burchill is the WWE once again pushing the envelope. I find it interesting that McMahon has had a hard on for an incest angle for years now. It makes you think. What kind of person is Vince McMahon really? Is there any angle WWE wouldn't try? We've had lesbianism, men abusing women, attempted murder via exploding limo, and let's not forget the bastard son angle (I actually like this one). I'm just wondering how far is too far? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
WTF?!?:
What the hell? Shark Boy is channeling the spirit of Stone Cold or something. I'm a fan of TNA, especially the Knockout Division. I like some of the story lines they've "borrowed" from WWE days past. I especially love Black Machismo Jay Lethal. He's just awesome. I've got to say though, and sorry to, but this is just stupid- even for Shark Boy. My son and I used to be big Shark Boy fans... not so much now. I hope this ends soon.
Where did I go wrong?:
Anyone who's read my columns knows how my daughter loves Triple H. She always has, and God forbid she probably always will. Part of it is the simple fact Triple H is a smart ass, coupled with a mean vindictive streak. Basically, she sees a lot of my personality in him. My bad. I guess she was doomed from the get go. Now, on to my son. He loves John Cena. He's my son's favorite, no doubt. However, genetics seems to be kicking in again, and it's both scary and funny. He's become a major Randy Orton mark, and it's freaking me out man. Not only that, I've caught him cheering for Edge against guys like Mysterio and Batista. That can't be normal! Have I cursed my children with my warped sense of self-identification to the heel superstars? Are they genetically prone to cheer for the bad guys? Eh, most likely. I'm just glad I've taught them something.
Women to the front: It truly impressed me when TNA had their main event for the Knockouts Title. Not just because it was the main event, but because it was a great main event. It was a fantastic match. It rivaled many of the TNA and WWE mid-card matches of late. Now, even though the rumors of TNA having an all Knockouts show were inflated, it neat to see some people actually would back the idea. TNA has a good number of talented women that could more than support their own show... eventually, but not now.
In the same breath, so does WWE. If we could get past the usual misuse of talent, the Divas could also hold their own in an hour long show, though I'd start it via WWE.com for now. Maria has improved dramatically, as has Layla. With Beth, Mickie, Torrie- if she ever comes back, Maria, Melina, Victoria, Michelle, Candice, Jillian, Layla, and other up and coming Divas; it could work. I'm still not a fan of Kelly Kelly though. She has a ton of work to do.
Two chambers for the price of one at No Way Out:
This idea impressed me, having both Smackdown and RAW brand Elimination Chamber Matches. It's could to see Smackdown not getting the a total short straw in No Way Out. It opens a world of possibilities for title contenders for WrestleMania. I know, most are already saying the winners will be Triple H and the Undertaker... but don't be so sure. I'm just saying.
Most of the masses are betting on Cena getting his gold back. He's just a much bigger draw than Orton, and WrestleMania is all about the money. Then again, if Triple H ends up retiring Ric Flair at WrestleMania, maybe they'll let Orton keep the gold till then.
I'm not a fan of a second title run for Mysterio. That's all I'm going to say on that.
Random Thoughts:
You get your taxes done yet? If not, better get to it. I'm excited about this proposed stimulus package, and the nice check that comes with. Maybe now I can actually afford to order WrestleMania this year.
Layla is freakin' hot man!
What's with Shannon Moore goin' country? I thought he was a punk or something. Come on emo, refuse to conform dammit!
My son got John Cena My Life DVDs for Christmas, and watches it almost nightly. He knows every chapter, every match, every interview. He'll be six on March 2nd. Guess I'd better hit WWEShop.com!
I still say Chuck Norris could kick Umaga's ass. Just my opinion.
I've been made aware of an Internet audio show using the name The Vertebreaker. It wouldn't normally bother me much, but the show pretty much sucks. I recommend a boycott people.
It feels good to be writing again! I've missed it, and your feedback. Good or bad, send it to georgebrazzel@gmail.com, or harass me at WWW.myspace.com/geovinbra.
Happy Birthday Kristina!
