I am still going to do my blogs where I discuss the card for an upcoming
WWE or TNA Pay-Per-View, but expect to see a lot more of these. I'll be
doing these "Random Thoughts" blogs whenever I have something on my
mind. It's a good way for me to talk about a bunch of smaller topics all
in one blog. Please read, comment, and tell your friends. Let's get on
with it...
- 2.21.11: I can't wait to find out for sure who all these vignette have been for. I guess it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that it will be the Undertaker, but part of me is still hoping it is someone else. Don't get me wrong. I love the Undertaker and can't wait to have him back. I just don't think the Undertaker needs vignettes like this to make a return. With the Undertaker's status, WWE could just say he's going to show up next week and people will be just as excited. The argument against these vignettes being for Undertaker is that they are for someone who is stalking Undertaker. I think that would be a really interesting way to go. It also gives a point to the vignettes. Either way, it's going to be an intriguing reveal. I think the best thing WWE has done with this is not actually talking about it on the show. It feels so much more mysterious that way. It's kind of like no one in WWE knows someone is coming.
- Jerry Lawler: First of all, Jerry has had a tough week. I feel for him losing his mother. That being said, I am still not sure why people were still so angry about his match with the Miz. Who else should have taken on the Miz? They barely had enough people for the chamber match. Let's face it, R-Truth right now is a stretch as a believable contender right now. This was a Pay-Per-View where the WWE Title match wasn't of much importance. I was perfectly fine with it, and to be honest, I thought it was a really entertaining match. Miz went over fairly clean and Lawler got a moment to shine.
- CM Punk: I don't know about anyone else but I thought his work in tonight's Pay-Per-View was genius. While inside the pod, he looked insane and psychotic and sadistic. I loved how he reacted whenever Orton came near his pod. However, I thought that whole bit with his pod getting stuck was really pointless. I'm hoping that the pod really was stuck and they were just calling it on the fly, thought the pinfall makes me think it was planned. Once he got into the match for real, he was also really good. He was very physical and kept the match exciting. By the way, when Punk went off the ropes onto Cena and cut up his leg I couldn't stop laughing as soon I a heard him yell "OWW!" Big props to CM Punk for his performance tonight.
- John Morrison: Speaking of great performances tonight, how about John Morrison? This guy continues to amaze me and I can't wait for him to get the big push. He reminds me of a young Shawn Michaels. The stuff he's been pulling off lately has been redefining the term "innovative."
- Booker T: Although he's not very polished, I am getting a kick out of Booker T as a commentator. I find him very likable and he seems to really be enjoying himself in this position. He comes off as being genuinely interested in the matches and I love when he keeps saying "He's gonna DO it!"
- John Cena and Fruity Pebbles: Stuff like this makes me like John Cena even more. I know the jokes are really corny, but I like how he doesn't always take himself too seriously. Sometimes, a little levity is a good thing.
- The Old School is Invading the New School: Tonight we saw yet another comeback, Trish Stratus. I personally think these comebacks are being handled very well and being done at the right time. The old stars are coming back in a way where the newer stars don't have to take a back seat. WWE is doing a great job of moving on while bringing back to older fans that may have gone away, and just in time for Wrestlemania. Trish looked really good tonight. I wonder if she will be coming back to wrestle as well as be a trainer on Tough Enough. I was impressed by her being able to pull off all (well almost all) of her signature moves in those heels. I can't wait for some more people to come back to the WWE family (still waiting for Macho Man to show up one day).
I think that's it for now. Until next time...
