SHE'S THE REAL DEAL LOOK. I do NOT say "aboot". I do NOT own a dogsled team. I certainly do not associate myself with moose in ANY WAY AT ALL. That is a dirty stereotypical Canadian myth, and I refuse to let my fragile ego endure this. But I am Canadian. EH! Or better yet: CyanIndigo, goddess extraordinaire, ooh-la-la lovely lass and the High Canadian wrestling representative, if you will. If you've got the questions, I've got the stuff. And so much, much more, my little paramours. It's been a while since I straddled this chair and whipped out any comments on the WWF (aka no cable, no RAW) but I've seen SmackDown (I get Detroit channels.. GOD BLESS AMERICAN TELEVISION) I've invaded men's houses for RAW, and I can finally do this right. Do I ever do it wrong? Ask around. THE BIG STUFF: Will Austin turn heel? Who isn't speculating on this? Who's website isn't overflowing with comments and opinions and cheap attempts at humour? Uh... certainly not THIS one, Mr. CRZ. Heh. Ahem. Let's put it this way, kids. As I have mentioned countless times before, the WWF is on the Internet scene more than you think. They listen to what the majority of the Net populace is saying. And what are they saying? Vince and Austin turn heel this Sunday or soon there-after. Both of them? Personally, I'm all for the Austin-heel thing. He needs a change. To those of you who are actual fans and not popular TV posers, you might remember back in 1996, when Steve Austin shaved his head, started flipping the bird to anything that moved, and coined the Austin 3:16 phrase. That was THREE YEARS AGO. And the WWF realizes it. Hell, he is popular, and he still draws a decent crowd. But he's getting overshadowed. Look at the Rock, for example. Mankind to a degree. Austin needs to change something. Get away from the image of the trash-talking face. Get a little E-VILL. Get a little damaging, piss off the fans (that's a big one), and make some real enemies. And a lot of people are just assuming that teaming with Vince will guarantee the heel turn. HELLO??? Did you see the face-pop MacMahon got on RAW? Face it, HHH is the bad guy right now, Vince is not. If Austin joins with MacMahon, not a damn thing will change. Figure out the solution. Speaking of turning evil, I'd say it's high time for everyone's favourite Foley to lose the puppy-dog vaneer and get nasty. May I remind those non-popular TV poser of when Mankind first appeared in the WWF in '96, and freaked out everyone. Where's that guy gone? How many times can Mankind be decieved, set up, and then beaten and embarassed for his troubles? It's repeating itself a mite too often, so when exactly can we see what made Mankind so intruiging bizzare in the first place? Of course, it depends on whether he's comfortable where he is, or wants to cause a little stir. To his discretion. Solid is the word I think of when I look back to last week's RAW and the Dudley Boys. And not as an insult either. They are a solid, dominating tag team, and quite a bit better than I expected. In fact, the majority of wrestlers from the ECW are quite a bit better than I expected. (Remember, ECW's too "violent" for us pansy Canadians - I'm half American myself - I don't get to see ECW at all) Stevie Richards, the Dudleys and now Taz of all people. The harping by the King about "Extremely Crappy Wrestling." The harping by the other wrestlers. The continual mention that they're from ECW; you'd NEVER hear of it if they were from WCW. Why do I sense a slow-moving ECW invasion on the WWF roster? Just bring in Sabu, Justin Credible, and Rob Van Dam and I'll have seen everyone I'm interested in. Imagine those cards... oooh.... Anyways, as I change my underattire, I see problems with this up-coming PPV this Sunday. I'm reminded of Feb '97, Fatal Four-way between Vader, Bret Hart, the Undertaker, and Steve Austin. Four guys in the ring at the same time. They pair off. Two cameras following two separate actions. Not bad, albeit a little frustrating to watch. Present time. Six guys. That's three pairs to watch at the same time. Not to mention the presense of Steve Austin and Vince MacMahon. It's going to get confusing. Let's hope I'm wrong. It does happen. Sometimes. RARELY. I know that quite a few people are exasperated with the Jeff Jarrett kick-around-some-women angle. It's cheap heat, tasteless, they say. It's misogenystic, some OTHER columnist here said. What were you expecting? Actual taste? Please. If you've been watching the sad efforts of Jeff Jarrett lately, you'd realize that extreme measures had to be taken with him. He could NOT get over without the company of Debra. He's going NOWHERE what-so-ever. So they make him beat up women. BINGO! I haven't heard people scream for a man's inner fluids since... oh ... never mind. Maybe it's cheap heat. But it's enough "cheap heat" for JJ to have the ability to get rid of Debra (aka put the Figure four on her) and start getting somewhere. Maybe it'll fade, maybe it won't. But he's getting reaction, and that is what a wrestler craves the most. STELLAR to Jericho for that fantastic quick top-rope dropkick onto Billy Gunn on RAW. STELLAR to the Rock for making me bust a gut with his talking-trash-in-his-sleep routine. QUICK NOTES: Test in my main event. WHATEVER. QUESTION: Does Miss Kitty have a purpose? Curtis "Huge" will not help Jericho in any form, especially not to the title contention ladder. He's unnecesary with an amazing wrestler / personality / CANADIAN guy like Chris. Amazing the renovation on the Undertaker within the past 2 years. He went from being dead to being a little lost boy to being obsessed with Kane to being Satan incarnate to being a biker. Yegads. Make up your bloody mind!! And give him a week or two off. That man is in PAIN with that groin injury. And he's useless right now, just losing his spot on the roster inch by inch the longer he's a typical stubborn male and refuses to take time off. QUESTION: In ECW, did the Dudleys really break Beulah McGilicutty's neck? I've been wondering, and no one really seems to know. Stephanie "MacMahon" is a disappointment to her name. She must be adopted, because there is no trace of E-VILL in her what-so-ever! You're a MacMahon! Mideon's costume is sure to boost him in the ranks within the month. Kane and Val Venis + some title contention = happy Cyan. C'mon! I had no idea that Crash Holly was indy worker Erin O'Grady. Keep an eye on him. Got a question or an answer for me? Cyan_77@yahoo.com. We'll see if I'm back next week. Mr. CRZ? I'm getting some every day of the week, and your girlfriend's taking the pictures. CyanIndigo freelance Mail the Author |
