SHARON'S EDGE

Hey it's me! Well, I really liked Rebecca's Love It/Hate It idea so I co-opted it (that's a nice way to say I stole it-OK?) This time I want to do a Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down like observation of my favorite federation. Feel free to agree, disagree or just shake your head in disgust. Let's start with the positive, shall we? Thumbs Up!
  • The Rock on the mic- damn, I love everything about this man (well..except for the way he treats women)! He's been truly inspirational lately, and all you roody-poos who think he's repetitive-shut up! So's Road Dogg-it's called having a catchphrase-get with the program! I really like this new turn with him and Mankind as a tag team-they have great chemistry!
  • Chyna-This woman has it all, it's too bad so many of you are so blinded by your insecurities that you don't give her the props she so richly deserves! She gave HHH one of the best matches he's had in a long time, she was great at King of the Ring and she was in the Royal Rumble! I am so glad she's getting a shot at that IC belt! I hope she gets it! She is my hero!
  • The arrival of Chris Jericho- Being a novice, I've never seen him wrestle and after seeing that double powerbomb he gave Road Dogg, I'm very impressed. I can't wait to see him up against X-Pac, Edge or Christian!
  • Edge & Christian- Although I'm a big Edge fan, I was disappointed they chose to split up the Brood.They were one of the coolest groups out there! But I'm glad Christian chose to stay with his*brother*, they make a good tag team! I also think the Hardys and Gangrel make a good trio!
  • The Acolytes- I love these guys! They're brutal and they have great moves! OK, so the illusion is shattered when they speak on the mic but they let their in ring skills speak for them! I cannot wait to see them face up to the Dudleyz!
  • Kane- The Big Red Machine is outstanding! In the ring, this guy is awesome! I said it before, who'd a thunk a guy with basically no voice would be so over! His partnership with X-Pac is sweet but it's time for him to go for his own title belt! I still wish they'd developed a story for him & Chyna!
Now on to my Thumbs Down...

  • No lightweight matches- Where is Gillburg? You've got some great potential contenders with Edge, Christian, Jericho, Test, X-Pac, etc.-where is this belt? I hear that Terry Taylor is working on bringing this title belt-I hope he succeeds. As it stands, there are only 4 belts to work for, come on!
  • Chyna really needs her own entrance music. It was very weird to hear HHH's theme twice when they faced off against each other. And why isn't her name in that entrance video?
  • Vince McMahon's absence- For once, a stipulation they enforced! But hey, I kinda miss the big lug.Shane's almost as bad as Vince but I just think he's a cutie.
  • Edge getting married-OK this has nothing to do with the WWF angles but I'm heartbroken. Honey, how can you think you've found your soulmate when you haven't even met ME yet?! *Sob!*
  • The role of women in the WWF- Every week I'm subjected to puppies, Terri's revealing outfits (and body parts)and now kittens, while real female wrestlers languish in the back. I truly hope Smackdown will feature more women WRESTLING and not standing around posing.
  • Speaking of that, what's up with Jacky & Luna running in for the save? Girls, it's time to go after that belt! Forget those two and their strange fued. I really wish Vince would work on a better angle for Tori & Ivory-if we had seen Tori go after someone Ivory was involved with, I could understand her calling her a slut but Tori's been in hiding for a few weeks. Then she comes out to be called such names! I like Ivory but are they trying to make her Sable Jr.? I'm glad to hear a Luna/Ivory title match has been added to Unforgiven-go Luna!
On that note, I'm going! Until next time, dear readers...
