Outside Looking In

Been a way for a while , had to put my mother in the ground after some very heavy duty days with her in the hospital. She would want me to go on and pursue my dreams as a writer and sense this is the best shot I’ve ever had ,here goes nothing.

I was about 50/50 on my predictions for GAB and the week that followed didn’t really further any of the story lines on any of the shows, id thought I’d point out a few flaws in their creative logic. By the way , I’m writing this as Cena is opening up tonight’s Raw.

Right off the bat, the logic that says Ron Killings working dark matches and Wildcat Harris gets on to TV before Killings is just Stupid. First of all, changing Harris’s name was wrong , the same demo that watch your product also watch the other guys . Harris is a known name and changing his name only puts him back at square one. By the same token Killings has been working dark matches since he signed with the WWE and has yet to make it to TV. They need good bodies at the mid card level and the “truth “ and his talent fits that bill. Raw update, Batista and Cena are going to go against Kane and JBL. Also the new GM is going to be announced tonight , I think it’s going to be Regal.

On the subject of Kane, a long time member of the company who has done what the company has asked always, might be putting his mask back on. In theory it’s a good idea, in reality do you want to push back one of your best workers two to three years.

They have taken a huge left turn in a tag match that was going to be the WWE champs VS Lawler and Jim Duggan. At the last minute it , they put Cole as the Kings partner and it didn’t go that well. Once again they have proven their willingness to throw the tag team division under the bus.

In the land of extreme, Mark Henry’s alliance with hall of fame wrestler Tony Atlas has proven a tough bound to break, especially since they got Collin Delaney to turn on Tommy Dreamer. Since there is no one else on the horizon that poses an immediate threat to Henry, I think that they will stretch the feud with Dreamer a while longer and it might come down to an Extreme rules match between the two.

And now we come to SMACKDOWN . Having not been a fan of the whole Vickie EDGE storyline , it took a wild turn last week with EDGE getting caught on tape groping the wedding planner Alicia Fox. This set Vicki off to the point that she reinstated the Undertaker and made a Hell in the Cell match between the two at Summer Slam. Khali won a battle Royal to become the Number one contender for the WWE belt and will face the “Game” at Summer Slam . This doesn’t really fit the whole let’s pump up SMACKDOWN Mantra since Khali has been lumbering around on bad knee’s for a while.

So the four confirmed matches for Summer Slam are , Mark Henry V Matt Hardy for the ECW belt , Batista V John Cena, HHH V Khali for the WWE championship, and EDGE V the Undertaker in Hell in the cell. For one of their bigger PPV’s of the year I have to say I’m a little disappointed . And speaking of being disappointed, the new GM was just named at the end of RAW and he made the Batista Cena match. One has to wonder what the hell NBC exc Dick Ebersole has on Vince because the new GM for RAW none other then Mike Adamlie. Yes the man that doesn’t know the an Oklahoma roll from tuna roll is now in charge of RAW. Heaven help us all. More to come later this week.
