SHARON'S EDGE Greetings, sports entertainment fans! Welcome again to my little corner of the wrestling world. Once again, RAW rocked the place with the teaming of Y2J & Al Snow, Test & Kane and new stipulations to the main event at Armageddon. But I'm getting ahead of myself-let's start with Heat: I don't know what's up with the Posse that they would want to start a feud with the Acolytes. I love the Acolytes-they're rude, raw and brutal. In my humble opinion, teaming up Farooq with Bradshaw was one of the best ideas the WWF ever had! And I enjoy their bar fights almost as much as I enjoy them in the ring- I look forward to them crushing the New Age Outlaws to take those belts back! And geez, did you see how high Mark Henry threw Taka? I'm not a big Godfather fan-that finishing move has to be the second dumbest move in sports entertainment. In the time it takes him to get that chug chug movement going-his opponent could easily move out of the way. Well, let's face it-the man exists purely to bring half naked women to the ring. I mean, he does get booed when he comes out by himself! It's sad-I find myself missing Kama the Supreme Fighting Machine. Anyway--the best part of Heat, besides the Taka/Kaientai match, was the dismantling of the Posse at the hands of the Acolytes! Now onto RAW- first of all, I have to hand it to Steph for going into DX's locker room alone-I would've taken Paul Wight with me! (I'm sure HHH would've signed those papers then!) Of course, Xpac had to be obnoxious as usual. When he suggested Steph join the New Age Outlaws in the shower, I wanted to tell her that they wouldn't want to be disturbed. I was truly in agreement with HHH, for once, what the hell was up with the fans (in Anaheim, anyway) calling Steph names like slut and whore? How is it this wedding debacle ends up being her fault? She was drugged, by a guy who still gets cheers nonetheless!! I don't get it! Well, I have to admit this is the most I've ever enjoyed HHH-he's very funny and charmingly naughty! I can't believe I just used the word 'naughty'. Anyway, I'm glad that whole Rock threw your book away angle was ended-I knew he didn't do it! Although I would've believed the culprit to be Val Venis but since his heel turn generated zero heat, it's Al, who's getting a hell of a lot more crowd reaction since going after the Rock! The Test/Kane vs. HHH/Xpac match was great! I just wish Tori would stay out of the ring-this damsel in distress angle is getting very old. Not too long ago, this woman was in pursuit of the women's title belt. I guess since falling in love, she's put her dreams aside to accompany her man to the ring. And get attacked so her man can be too distracted to actually win his matches-great work, Tori! *Thumbs up* I don't think anyone was screaming as loudly as I when Kane caught Xpac mid bronco buster and threw him down!!! Get him Kane!!! I tell you this-if Tori turns her back on Kane at Armageddon-I'm going to Stamford with a bag of nickels! I'm not sure who I'd hit first-probably Xpac. Anyway-the teaming of Al Snow and Chris Jericho
was great! Although, crazy me-when Al assumed the
position, the first person I thought of was Tommy Dreamer! I thought
for a minute there, ECW was invading the WWF again! Oh well...I guess this
is Y2J's first step toward main event status and it was great until the
inevitable run-in! Oh and I must make mention of the Big Show/Viscera match-damn!
When Big Vis (as he's called now) slammed Paul Wight through the table
backstage-WOW!! Then when they took it to the ring-that Samoan backdrop
by Vis was impressive! I'd thought for a minute there Big Vis was getting
that belt! OK this weekend is Armageddon-allow some predictions and random
thoughts:
Kurt Angle vs. Steve Blackman The Hollys vs. Rikishi Fatu & Viscera-OH my God! The Hollys are going to be squashed as flat as pancakes! A battle of the Super Heavyweights? Strictly in the Hollys' minds. Battle Tag Team Royal: Edge & Christian vs.
Too Cool vs. Dudleys vs. Hardys vs.Acolytes vs. Headbangers
vs. Mean Street Posse: WOW! I'm waving my 2Blonde flag! (That's my
name for Edge & Christian) But looking at all these teams, I hope they
can make it!
Val Venis vs. British Bulldog Ivory vs. BB vs. Jackie vs. Miss Kitty (4 corners
evening gown match) Xpac vs. Kane Chyna vs. Chris Jericho New Age Outlaws vs. Rock & Sock Big Show vs. BBM And finally the main event-Vince vs. HHH: well, in light of everything that's come to pass, there's an awful lot running on this match. You've got the annullment, a title shot and a no holds barred, falls count anywhere stip going on-I was surprised HHH didn't throw in a forced honeymoon. I'm really at a loss with this match-it could go either way. I'll say Vince because everyone wants a happy ending. Well that's it from me this week! Take care and we'll check next week to see if I'm good at predictions! Until next time, dear readers, |
