After the awesomeness that was Steph McMahon getting RKO'd last week, I was expecting nothing less than a sledgehammer duel, not unlike the motorcycle duel from that episode of the Simpsons. I was disappointed.

I wish he had punted her. I guess they're leaving that for WM25.

Well, no matter what happens in the comings week leading up to WrestleMania 25, I'm willing to bet this is the actual "Passing of the Torch" to Randy Orton from Triple H as the top guy. I'm not saying Triple H will fall out of the main event scene, but I do believe that at WrestleMania 25 Randy Orton will finally be "THE Top Guy" in the company. Of course, I could always be completely wrong, but I sincerely hope I am not. The last thing I want to see is Triple H being victorious over Orton in the main event. *Shudders at the thought.*

They can both lose for all I care. I'd, as odd as it sounds coming from me, rather see HHH win. Orton's just a pretty boy who's going to be an obscure trivia question anyway. He's also ran into some trouble with his backstage antics.

At least HHH married the boss' daughter before trying to throw his weight around.

There is talk right now, that Vince is losing touch with the audiences and do not know what they want anymore, and so he goes to HHH for help.

There is talk right now, that when Vince retires he may pass the company torch over to HHH. IF that happens, HHH should retire to work backstage, and not be Jeff Jarrett all over again.

I got turned off from all wrestling when Triple H was winning title after title and not allowing other people to get a shot or to really advance. I stopped watching wrestling back in 2005.

This common knowledge is JUST NOW reaching Vince? Laughing

I saw some people talking about in the chat room tonight, but didn't read what they wrote because I hadn't watched it yet. Though I got the sentiment that they didn't like the ending.

I would like to go on record as saying that I am absolutely loving the Orton angle.

He started off attacking Vince because of threats to be fired, and claimed he had no control, but his character has slowing been degenerating into a being of pure evil. His ego didn't let him feel bad for attacking Vince, and met the challenge when Shane came at him, and like him or not, he did a good job of portraying shock and horror when he RKO'ed Stephanie.

Tonight showed that, like MacBeth, he is now just doing evil for the sake of doing evil. DDT on Stephanie, no remorse. Kissing her just to fuck with HHH's head, awesome. He did show some fear when he nailed Hunter with the sledgehammer, but I think next week, or at Wrestlemania, we will see a character completely devoid of remorse.

I don't care if you hate him, I thoroughly enjoy this angle, and Orton is doing a great job of selling it.

In an effort to generate discussion, I would like to make the following statements from Monday night.

1) I loved Mike Mizanin's shoot on Cena

2) I loved Cena's mugging while staring down Big Show

Discuss.

Cena is trash and I love seeing him get booed. And Miz's shoot was great - I hope they keep letting him do it.

Was the shoot uploaded to youtube at all? I barely watch even TNA nowadays.

I did love the completely weird interaction between Angle and Foley on Impact last week.

I also surmise that Val really dislikes Cena. To me, his is the new Hulk Hogan. Kids love him. He sells tickets and tee shirts so Vince loves him, which means we're stuck with him for awhile.

The difference is that everyone loved Hulk Hogan back in the day, because they were no smarks. Smarks hate Cena.

Posted: May 07 2009 08:16 pm

You had the dirt sheets that were for the smark, but they were underground newletters with limited distrobution. Thanks to the internet, what used to be hundreds, is now tens of thousands.

Posted: May 07 2009 08:16 pm

Interesting point, Syd. I wonder if Hulk would be as big as he is if the net and smarks had been around then.

Posted: May 07 2009 08:28 pm

To be honest, Hogan has his "moves of doom" and could've easily been disliked by "smarter" fans for being boring, but he has tremendous presence and had legendary matchups with Andre, Randy Savage, Warrior, Ric Flair, Undertaker, etc. He has a whole slew of matches with other legendary wrestlers, meanwhile Cena is wrestling the same damn guys every storyline.(Edge and Orton)
