Fast Count…
The way I see it… the Elimination Chamber was a punt by the WWE. They played it safe and held down the fort on the Road to WrestleMania. It went as expected, had some decent moments, and no one got hurt. (Unless you count Morrison’s overselling on Raw and Punk growing gills on his upper thigh.) There is not much else they could… or should… have done.
I would totally love it if… the WWE never did the “arch enemies who are forced to tag up and WIN the tag titles” bit again. It doesn’t serve any purpose other than to prove the glory days of the tag teams title are long gone and it never adds much to the storyline.
I gotta think… that if you’re going to have Jeff Hardy defend his World title against RVD in a “match months in the making” you would want people to know about it. Jeff Hardy equals “ratings?” Maybe… if you don’t wait until the beginning of a show to announce the big match. This is not just giving away the milk for free; this is giving away the farm, the lean on the farm, and the chance for you to buy any more farms.
I must confess… I’m impressed with Ric Flair’s hair. It’s doing one of the best Benjamin Franklin impressions around.
Come on, admit it… you’re more excited about seeing Trish Stratus every week on Tough Enough than you are Steve Austin? Only me? OK. Fine. Move on, nothing to see here.
Sure… I’m day dreaming, but Daniel Bryan versus Davey Richards at WrestleMania 28 to unify the US and Intercontinental titles can happen if we make it happen. Let’s start an Internet campaign to make this match take place. It worked with Betty White hosting Saturday Night Live, it can work for the American Dragon versus the American Wolf.
Quick… what would have happened if the Shockmaster DIDN’T trip and fall his way into infamy? You have to think that the all time biggest botch in Pro Wrestling history actually saved WCW from an even greater embarrassment of having the Shockmaster enter a match as “serious” threat. Not that, you know, WCW needed any help.
