Well where do I begin, setting up and pushing a storyline for over a month only to half ass rewrite it at the eleventh hour and end up doing a variation of the some thing they have been doing with Edge for the last two years doesn’t inspire the word Creative. There was a better way to do this and they either didn’t see it or didn’t have the Grapefruits to think outside the box.

Right off the bat, because of this whole thing , they are going to have to rewrite Armageddon since they are already advertising a rematch between HHH and Koslov. This is how they end up making bigger mistakes when they have to rewrite things on the fly. Next , they just inked Christian to come back so are they going to say that Edge jumped Hardy or did Christian do it for Edge. Did they at least dummy up some security footage of Hardy getting attacked. What about the whole thing with Vicki . Have they kissed and made up or is there going to be another side to that whole story. What they should have done was have Edge come in as the third part of the match. Then you have Hardy come in and either bailout HHH or even more interesting have come in and go so nuts that Koslov ends up winning .

I am still very pissed about this whole thing. They do nothing but complain about TV ratings and then they do something like this that further complicates one of their main shows on a new TV network. I just don’t get the reasoning behind this. Over the past two weeks Jeff Hardy has put together some of the best TV work as a Single that he has ever done , and you reward him by doing this to him. There would have been plenty of time to build up a Hardy Edge feud so they cant use that lame ass excuse. And it diminishes the argument about Hardy’s reliability when you use a fake story about him and try and sell it to various news outlets , knowing full well that Hardy’s past is a matter of public record. It’s a tad bit two faced to tell your talent to not do drugs and yet be willing to exploit the fact that they have in the past made mistakes . Jeff Hardy puts his life on the line every time every time he walks down that ramp and if your going to dangle that belt in front of him, your going to have to let him have a fair shot at it.

Other comments on Sunday night. I was looking forward to the Diva match and wasn’t really disappointed in what I saw. I have stated that there is growing heat in the women’s locker room and this match will lead to some intra show matches between the women on both shows. I was a little surprised that Maryse lasted as long as she did but in the end it was the power of Beth Phoenix that pulled it out for the raw women. An interesting sidebar to this whole situation is that TNA is looking for someone from Japan to take on Kong at the next PPV. Does anyone know who works in Japan that is a worthy foe for Awesome Kong . Chyna has been working in Japan for Mister Anoki for the past few months and is more then a credible foe for Kong. It well at the very least drive Vince nuts.

The casket match was very stiff and out of sink. The Undertaker looks more and more like the wear and tear is starting to get to him. One of my greatest fears is that he turns into another lumbering version of Kevin Nash by the time he’s fifty. I hope he has the good sense to walk away before it comes to that. If Edge is coming back where the hell is the Edge ,Undertaker feud. Another strike against Jeff Hardy. Its is if they want things to stay the same instead of trying something different .I’m sorry but if the WWE wants real change and better ratings why do they keep doing the same stupid shit over and over again .

This is it . Will have some more later.
