SHARON'S EDGE

Greetings, sports entertainment fans! Well, things sure are getting more exciting in my favorite federation, despite what people are saying. You know, it seems that there are alot of people out there worshipping at the altar of Russo and Ferrerra but these are the same people who were kissing Eric Bischoff's ass after he came in, only to end up despising him 2 years later. I'm not a regular WCW viewer but I do enjoy CRZ's and Hyatte's recaps. As a matter of fact, I'd prefer reading those recaps to watching the show! I do admit to getting a warm fuzzy feeling whenever I see Rey Mysterio Jr. but that's my little secret(oops! not anymore).Anyway- so far, I'm enjoying this heel DX although it does annoy me that only Stone Cold seems to be impervious to all their attacks! And I take offense to all these WCW marks trying to say the DX reunion is a desperate move by the WWF-please, the ratings might be rising but they're not overtaking the WWF anytime soon. Although they're crowing that they'll be #1 by the New Year!! Sounds like somebody's getting cocky already! My question is now that the WCW's adopting the WWF raw attitude-will Bret Hart be as outspoken about it as he was about the WWF? Somehow I doubt it. It's ironic that very things the WWF was criticized for- the T & A, the shorter matches, interviews and backstage features- are what people are praising the WCW for.Well, enough ranting from me. Let me give you some pieces of my mind:
  • Why do I get Rodney King flashbacks whenever I see DX attack the Rock?

  • Let me get this straight-BBM and Prince Al are fine after they're nearly crushed in their but the Big Show is almost decimated by a tear gas canister?? I know it's called suspension of belief but W*T*F????????

  • Did I miss something on Heat-why weren't the Hollys counted out after they just walked off in the middle of their match with the Acolytes?

  • Finally, Chyna has gotten her own theme music!!!!!! Hhhmm..those Master/Slave shirts were just a little too gay for me,though.

  • Why is it whenever I see Chris Jericho, I think of Jeff Spicoli from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" (rent the movie, you'll see) Y2J is cuter though.

  • Do you think JJ is sorry that he left, now that Stone Cold, contrary to reports, is working a program with Billy Gunn?

  • How does X-Pac know about where Kane is burned? And why didn't Tori hit him? I think she could take him!

  • Not too long ago, Rebecca did a column where she criticized the fans for only paying attention to the bigger names like Rock or Stone Cold, while basically ignoring everyone else. There was a RAW report where the guy talked about the same thing. I find it truly sad, annoying, not to mention disrespectful, when the people are more into getting their faces and signs on camera than what's going on in the ring. These wrestlers are working hard to entertain you but you're more interested in doing crotch chops for the camera-pathetic.

  • J.R. gets so excited at ringside, sometimes I think he's going to have a heart attack at the announce table!

  • I like comic relief but I know Stevie Richards is much better than we've seen so far. I've heard about his days in ECW with the Meanie doing parodies, I hope Vince let those two continue!! Then again, I do hope Stevie can show his stuff!

  • From all reports I've heard, Kevin Nash has been lazy for awhile-did he really think Vince wanted him back? Talk about an inflated ego with a Peter Pan complex.

  • Not too long ago, HHH was bitching about 'carrying DX' and not needing anybody so why is DX back together? I think HHH knows he needs someone to watch his back and since Chyna is busy, not to mention a face these days, he called the boys back together. But I don't trust it-all the infighting these guys have been doing-is there really any loyalty there?

  • Now I'm a sucker for a love story but I don't buy this Tori/Kane coupling. There's no background, there's been no story! At least we got to see the Test/Stephanie angle build but to just thrust Kane and Tori together-it ain't working. HHhmm..I have an idea, maybe they should've put him with that blonde EMT-think about it, she would be able to look past his scars because she's in medicine.

  • As much as I enjoy the WWF, I think pound for pound, the best wrestlers are in ECW! From RVD to Sabu to Jerry Lynn to Yoshihri Tojhiri-those guys are so impressive! I can't wait for 'November to Remember' this weekend!

Well that's it for me this week, until next time, dear readers. Sharon
