Vince McMahon has been revealed as the person who canceled the most recently interesting storyline in ECW between Balls Mahoney and Kelly Kelly.

 

It's rare to find a midcard storyline that ends up taking a life of its own and takes over as the focal point of a brand. That's what ECW had when they started a storyline between Balls Mahoney and Kelly Kelly.

 

Wrestling audiences have always been fans of the underdog storylines. When Kelly Kelly's character started showing interest in Balls Mahoney, fans had themselves the ultimate underdog story.

 

Nothing against Balls Mahoney. He's probably a good looking man in his own rights (he does have a girlfriend in real life), but very few people would bet on him being able to attract a woman as beautiful as Kelly Kelly.

 

For weeks, fans were teased with the prospect that Kelly Kelly was going to be leaving behind her friends in Extreme Expose to be with Balls Mahoney. With every passing week, the crowd reaction began getting louder and louder.

 

Much of the credit has to go to ECW head writer Dusty Rhodes. He actually spent the time to write out the storyline weeks in advance. He also spent considerable time with Balls Mahoney and Kelly Kelly, working with them on their promo skills.

 

His hard work actually got Vince McMahon to notice Kelly Kelly more, which ironically ended up killing the storyline.

 

Reports claim that Vince McMahon ended the storyline because he believes that Kelly Kelly can be the next big diva. He feels that having her involved with Balls Mahoney might reduce her stock. There's even talks about moving her to either Raw or Smackdown to increase her exposure.

 

Vince McMahon began taking a stronger interest in Kelly Kelly around the same time the fans did. That time was when her storyline with Balls Mahoney started gaining steam. WWE could be making a huge mistake here by killing the momentum that was being built up.

 

The momentum from this storyline actually benefitted quite a bit of people.

 

One of the biggest complaints about ECW is that management failed to develop a #2 babyface behind CM Punk. There were never any plans to have Balls Mahoney take over that spot. In fact, Vince McMahon would have thought you were insane for even assuming that Balls Mahoney could take over that spot. However, the storyline was so good that Balls Mahoney ended up becoming the #2 babyface in ECW by default.

 

Kelly Kelly went from being good eye candy in Extreme Expose to being a character with more depth; a character that the audience started connecting with.

 

The Miz also received a rub from the storyline. It was just enough to elevate him into the main event scene in ECW.

 

Management is constantly trying to figure out ways of getting the audience to care about wrestlers they wish to push. It's a bit foolish to end a storyline that "accidentally" elevates someone.

 

 

 

Even though Carlito has given his notice to the company, WWE still hopes that he changes his mind. They'd rather not lose another wrestler to TNA right now.

 

 

 

Chris Masters has mentioned that he's quite interested in working for TNA. However, TNA has shown very little interest in bringing him in right now.

 

 

 

Management is in no rush to bring DH Smith back to television. When he does come back, he won't be receiving a big push. He'll be stuck in the midcard.

 

 

 

Management is leaning towards putting the WWE Heavyweight Championship back on Triple H so he can go into Wrestlemania as the champion.

 

 

 

Is the Cruiserweight Division Dead?

When Vickie Guerrero announced on Smackdown that the WWE Cruiserweight Championship was vacant, most people didn't expect it to be a permanent thing.

 

Cruiserweight Decline

 

The WWE Cruiserweight Championship and the cruiserweight division itself have been on a decline for a while now. What once was considered a strong point on a wrestling show has now been relegated to an afterthought.

 

It's a shame too since the belt can be traced back to the likes of great wrestlers like Jushin "Thunder" Liger, Dean Malenko, Brian Pillman, Rey Mysterio, Ultimo Dragon, Chris Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, Juventud Guerrera, Psychosis, Tajiri, Matt Hardy, Chavo Guerrero, and a few others.

 

For years, WCW held the cruiserweight division in high regards. While they weren't the main attraction (the nWo, Sting, Goldberg, and the Four Horsemen basically filled that role), very few could argue that they weren't a vital part in helping WCW beat WWE in the ratings.

 

Aside from a short period of time where Madusa and Oklahoma (former WCW and WWE writer Ed Ferrara) held the belt, the cruiserweight championship matches were usually hotly contested matches. They provided the substance while the nWo provided the style.

 

When WWE brought the championship back, it initially began building up prestige again. Some of the better matches on pay per views were fought over the WWE Cruiserweight Championship.

 

The Final Straw

 

The final straw for a lot of wrestling purists was when Hornswoggle captured the WWE Cruiserweight Championship at the Great American Bash in July.

 

People weren't so much upset that a vertically challenged wrestler had won the belt. They were more upset that a once prestigious belt was reduced to a running joke that basically only Vince McMahon and the writers found funny. Rather than utilizing the belt to help elevate one of the many talented cruiserweights on the Smackdown roster, the belt was used to enable the writers to come up with some cartoonish backstage skits.

 

When you have a division filled with guys like Chavo Guerrero, Funaki, Gregory Helms, Jamie Noble, Jimmy Wang Yang, Rey Mysterio, and Shannon Moore, it shouldn't be too difficult to provide some exciting matches. We understand WWE wanted to make sure that their employees don't take additional risks, but it's a still a shame that these guys aren't allowed to do what they do best. Pick any two of those guys and put them on a pay per view, and they'd be able to produce a candidate for Match of the Day.

 

Another thing that's disturbing is that WWE chooses to turn these guys into jobbers instead of having them provide depth in the United States Heavyweight Championship division and the WWE Tag Team Championship division. With a slight gimmick change, Jimmy Wang Yang and Funaki can provide the tag team division with a veteran tag team. Guys like Jamie Noble, Shannon Moore, and Chavo Guerrero can also contend for MVP's title.

 

Closing Thoughts

 

If WWE is going to bring the belt back and neglect it again, we'd much rather see it retired in a proper manner.

 

 

 

 

Torrie Wilson will miss a few weeks of action. She will be receiving physical therapy to help heal her injured back. Nattie Neidhart may be called up soon.

 

 

Tammy Sytch (formerly known in WWE as Sunny) has been confirmed for next week's Monday Night Raw. It's been almost a decade since she left.

 

 

Former ECW diva Brooke Adams has been telling people that she plans on working with TNA in the near future. She also plans on doing Playboy soon.

 

 

Vince McMahon will attempt to discuss a possible Wrestlemania match with Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin next week. Both are scheduled to appear on Raw

 

 

WWE has successfully negotiated a new deal with the USA Network to continue airing Monday Night Raw until 2010. The original contract was to end in 2008.

 

 

Trish Stratus has been listed again for next week’s Raw.

 

For some unknown reason, her name was removed from the list of former superstars that are expected to return for the 15th anniversary show.

 

 

 

Evolution will be making a one night only reunion on Monday Night Raw next week.

 

It’ll be interesting to see how WWE pulls this off. A reunion between Triple H, Ric Flair, and Batista can easily be done since all three guys are babyfaces. However, Randy Orton is a heel. That should add an interesting dynamic to the reunion.

 

Also, there’s word that WWE may be using the reunion to set up one of the potential main events for Wrestlemania with this reunion. Within the past few months, there’s been rumors of matches between HHH/Orton, HHH/Batista, and Batista/Orton. WWE may also use the Evolution reunion to help further the new Ric Flair storyline.

anu un pinagtripan lang nila si bret???

me nabasa pa nga ako kasama pa ata si triple h sa issue..

[clubber_lang]

Chris Masters has mentioned that he's quite interested in working for TNA. However, TNA has shown very little interest in bringing him in right now.

 

If TNA shows little interest to a young wrestler like Chris Masters, that could only mean that wrestler sucks big-time...

 

Tammy Sytch (formerly known in WWE as Sunny) has been confirmed for next week's Monday Night Raw. It's been almost a decade since she left.

 

She got really fat the last I saw her...

 

Vince McMahon will attempt to discuss a possible Wrestlemania match with Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin next week. Both are scheduled to appear on Raw

 

Both of these guys won't let the other win, so this is going to be really hard to pull off. Plus they hate each other's guts...

[howard_the_duck]

raw is soooooooooooo boring

[andrean48]

Batista vs Orton?

 

I saw that last year before Orton went to Smackdown.

 

It would be interesting now since both of them hold a World Title.

[deathsaurer]

ano kaya kung hhh vs. jericho then triple threat sina edge,taker & batista

Greatest Superstar in Raw History

 

At Raw's 15th Anniversary celebration Monday night, Mr. McMahon will announce the Greatest Raw Superstar in History. You, our fans, have thoughts on who it should be, and let's just say your choice was "Phenom-inal."

 

Undertaker received 29.2 percent of the vote as Raw's Greatest Superstar. John Cena finished second in the voting with 15.4 percent of votes cast. The Rock received a nod from 11.8 percent of fans, while "Stone Cold" Steve Austin finished with 10.2 percent.

Y2J's return is boring.......... :sleepysmiley03:

[hitman531ph]

D-Lo Brown has worked a few events for TNA as a backstage agent. However, there's still been no confirmed word that he has signed with the company.

 

 

 

There are talks of moving Kelly Kelly over to the Raw brand. Management wants to try testing her out to see if she can become the top babyface diva.

 

 

 

WWE is still working on signing Bret Hart for an appearance on Monday Night Raw this week. Bret Hart doesn't apppear to be backing down from his stance.

 

 

 

Paul Bearer has declined WWE’s invitation for him to appear on the upcoming special episode of Monday Night Raw.

 

Paul Bearer declined the invitation because of his schedule.

 

Since leaving the wrestling business, he has gone back to the funeral business. He also spends time managing his son, who wrestles on the independent wrestling circuit. His son, DJ Pringle, is 6′4″, 275. That tremendous size (and his father’s connections)might get him into WWE some day.

 

 

 

WWE plans on releasing a brand new Triple H DVD on March 25, 2008.

 

Right now, they’re in the production stage of the DVD. They’re hoping to release it in time for Wrestlemania 24. Expect WWE to heavily promote this DVD along with Wrestlemania.

 

 

 

Booker T and Rob Van Dam are scheduled to face one another in a match.

 

The two will headline a PWA show called Christmas Chaos 2. The event will be held down in Pasadena, Texas on December 28, 2007. For those of you that don’t know, the PWA is owned by Booker T.

 

That’s a nice little treat for wrestling fans down in the Houston, Texas area. These two guys are close friends, and they should be able to produce a pretty good match. With Booker T now in TNA, there’s also a chance that you can see other TNA wrestlers there at the event as well.

 

 

 

Several US wrestling stars are booked for the big Euphoria tour in Puerto Rico in a few weeks.

 

Carlito, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Konnan, Ron Killings, and Chris Masters are among the biggest names being booked for the tour (with the biggest event being on January 6, 2008 in San Juan).

 

They should really do an invasion type of gimmick on this tour where Kevin Nash, Scott Hall (if he shows up, of course), Konnan, and Ron Killings (who recently quit TNA) are the outsiders. Carlito can play the role of babyface in fighting off those guys. Since Chris Masters has a history with Carlito, he can be used as Carlito’s mystery backup.

 

 

 

TNA Signs Sting For 2008

Wrestling legend Sting has come to an agreement with TNA on a new contract will have him wrestling for another year.

 

One More Year

 

Right now, all we know is that Sting has signed on to wrestle for TNA through 2008. Terms of the contract have not been fully disclosed just yet. However, it is believed that Sting still has one of the sweetest contracts in all of wrestling.

 

In 2007, Sting made several hundreds of thousands of dollars. In fact, he made more than what most WWE wrestlers were making last year. However, the big difference was that Sting only worked 3-5 times a month.

 

With that in mind, Sting is probably making a little bit less in 2008 than he did in 2007. It's being said that he'll be working a schedule that's even more reduced in 2008. Sting might not even be on TV every week.

 

That arrangement might be the best thing for both sides involved.

 

At this point in his career, Sting should be used more as a special attraction. He should be the wrestling legend that shows up here and there for special matches on pay per view. Sting should also be utilized to bring up the younger wrestlers. That's something that he's always been willing and eager to do.

 

Putting Sting into programs with Robert Roode, James Storm, Christopher Daniels (again), and Chris Harris should help elevate those guys. TNA's midcard scene is filled with talented wrestlers.

 

Christopher Daniels Revisited

 

TNA made a huge mistake in 2007 by ending the feud between Christopher Daniels and Sting way too early.

 

The buildup to their match was one of the better ones in recent history. It was long and drawn out. The storyline was well written. Christopher Daniels did a tremendous job on the microphone to sell the story. It actually allowed the audience to see a different side of him.

 

Then, all of that was flushed down the toilet when management decided to end the feud after just one match (a lopsided victory for Sting, by the way). Christoper Daniels' momentum was killed a bit when TNA decided to put the Triple X stable back together again. Rather than continuing to move up the singles ladder, Christopher Daniels was put back into a tag team with Senshi and the returning Elix Skipper.

 

Now that Senshi has left TNA again, management has to make a big decision on what to do with Christopher Daniels. They can continue having him team up with Elix Skipper. Those two can produce great tag team matches. However, that would seem to be a bit of a waste of talent.

 

Christopher Daniels needs to be kept as a singles wrestler. He can be utilized in both the X division and the midcard division. In order to bring his credibility as a singles wrestler back up again, TNA has to put him back into a feud with Sting and allow them time to work out a great program.

 

Closing Thoughts

 

Good to see that Sting and TNA have come to an agreement. Hopefully, he can have a great farewell tour.

Kelly Kelly to RAW = best idea since peanut butter
