Wrestling is simple. One guy is the hero, the other is the anti-hero. Sometimes, the good/evil lines are blurred. But it is not a complex dynamic in this situation. What happened on Sunday was absolutely amazing, on a level with the Hogan WCW/NWO turn in 1996 - but Monday may have been the worst angle in the history of professional wrestling. Why am I so frustrated? Let me explain.
I understand that they finally heard our voices and knew that things needed to change. But the major problem is this - instead of looking at wrestlings past for an angle that draws money, they think the issues need to be complex and odd. A Vote of Confidence? This makes the worst of Russo's gimmicks look decent to even, dare I say, good! The problem with it? Okay, ill write it out for you.....this one time.
Professional Wrestling Angle
Miz and R-Truth do the beatdown angle on Sunday HIAC PPV
Monday Night Raw starts with Trile H talking and "His Microphone Shuts Off" !!! He loses it, and on the tron are Miz and Truth, in what they wore Sunday Night, telling him there is a hostile takeover about to happen, and they will not be responsible for any innocent victims....
Next segment is, amazingly, a match between Evan Bourne and Jack Swagger. Bourne wins by submission, and goes heel on the ref after the match....(Bourne, sick of the size matters deal, joins Miz and Truth in this Hostile Takeover.)
Next out is....Nigel McGuinness and Kevin Steen!!!...Kill Steen Kill and Nigel are here for retribution for WWE raiding ROH's talent roster.....Cary Silkin appears, and is highly concerned about his workers behavior....Impromptu Match - Nigel McGuinness destroys Jerry Lawler, saying he is taking his rightful spot.(Nigel is the new third man on commentary now for raw, replacing josh mathews....Nigel is also Team Takeover, and plays the evil heel announcer role....)
Triple H comes out and says to the crowd...."Due to these random attacks and strikes - not at our workers" but really at the fans. One man, 37M, was hit with enough shrapnel that his dental records were needed to identify the victim....
WWE Goes on a one week hiatus.....The Show that is not live is a taped show with everyone discussing their feelings with us one on one.....Some very interesting candor between The Rock and John Cena, especially about The Rock's marital status and other private things!!!!
End Part One
"Part Two with Finale up next!"
