THE PEOPLE'S COLUMN Aloha , and a big welcome to all of y'all to The People's Column numero dos. My name is Andy and I am not only fluent in English, but in Spanish and Georgian, too. This week... letters, Jeff Jarrett, the new Nitro, and Harold Finkel. But first, in totally unrelated news... BRAVES WIN! Finally! Now that "Larry" and the Braves have finally beaten a great Mets team (even if their fans are crazy), bring on the Yankees! I Get Letters Too Oh wait... I didn't get any letters this week. Therefore, no "I Get Letters Too." Maybe someone will actually at least e-mail me and say hello... you'll make me feel wanted (I am wanted... right? Right? Hello?). You know the drill... if you have any comments, suggestions, complaints, or questions... ship them my way. And if you are a Yankees fan we might brawl. Your total through one column stands at zero letters. Jeff Jarrett Rides Back to Turnerland J-E-Double F is back in WCW, and I have to admit I'm not all that thrilled. I've been a big Jarrett fan since I first saw him the the WWF as "Double J" back in '94 or so. He was just entertaining and I liked the gimmick, even though I wasn't much of a country music fan besides watching Shania Twain in her videos (not much has changed in 1999). Then he defected to WCW to end up in a stupid, senseless feud with Steve McMichael (whatever happened to Mongo, and does anyone care?) over Debra, then Deborah. Well, Jeff disappeared and she did too. Jeff comes out on Raw and shoots, and gets packaged into the "Double J" gimmick again. I liked it, but it wasn't over. Then he goes to the "don't piss me off" gimmick, which was actually fun to watch. I remember when he smashed the gee-tar over X-Pac's head and X-Pac had to get a splinter taken out of his eye. We had the great tag team with the late, great Owen Hart, and finally the angle as the dominant male which he made good. Then again, let's face it... who wants to see Moolah and Mae Young? I might take his stance on that one. Then, the announcement appears on WWF.com... he's headed back to WCW. Where does this leave JJ? Well, I loved seeing him as his same old self on Nitro smashing the gee-tar over Buff Bagwell's head (I despise Bagwell... he needs to try to say something besides "I'm Buff and I'm the stuff" fifty times per interview). I don't know how he'll do in WCW, but with Russo and Ferrara writing they know how to write for him. I think he'll do OK. Hopefully he'll be back in Titanville (or WWF Entertainmentville) soon. He can say "piss" there. Monday Russo vs Raw is Buy Mankind's Book Vince "Vic Venom" Russo and Ed Ferrera wrote Nitro Monday, and I think it looked like a good show. I've only seen the first hour so far (I have to tape Raw live and then the replay of Nitro, I recap them on my website too) and it was a much needed improvement. There's Kimberly showing off her assets, Norman Smiley winning a hardcore match, La Parka whooping Buff's butt, and JJ returning. All we need is Chae back, Vince and Ed! Overall, this is a much needed change and I'm glad it's been made. Oh yeah, there wasn't any Hogan to drag the show down either. Meanwhile, Raw was pretty good as usual. It's good to see the Hollys as champs, hopefully they can get some microphone time. I don't really like the cancer angle, but the WWF likes to live on the edge. Hopefully the people buying stock will be OK with it, they might want to remember that. I'm ready for the Rock vs Sock feud. I'm for Gangrel going back with Edge and Christian while the Hardys go with Terri, just so I can see a Brood actually come out to the Brood music again. And is the WWF trying to give Thunder a chance this week? Moolah vs Mae Young? It's no longer the women's title, it's the dinosaur title again. It was actually a title worthy of mention (well, for it at least) and now the WWF has turned it into a joke. Instead of putting people like Ivory and Tori wrestling on TV (which is what the majority of the 16-21 guys who watch the show want), we get two dinosaurs brawling. Not good. Harold for President Nobody else seems to do this, so I will. Howar... Harold Finkel deserves all kinds of credit. The guy is truly a legend in the WWF. When you think of the best WWF ring announcer, who do you think of? I think of Harold. The WWF needed a way to try to get Harvey Wippleman over, so Harold goes head to head in a tuxedo match with him on one of the early Raws. The WWF needs some way to promote Sy Sperling at WrestleMania X, so they ship Harold to the Hair Club for Men to get rid of that bald spot (temporarily). The WWF needs someone to help out with Jericho's original character, and Harold is there to play the part of Ralphus. And now the WWF needs someone to help get the Acolytes over, so they win Harold in a card game. What's next for Harold? I vote WWF Hall of Fame. That's all for this week. Don't forget to send me and your other (slash) columnists some feedback so we know where we went wrong and where we went right. Also (plug plug), visit my website and you can read my Raw and Nitro Recaps after you finish with CRZ's recaps. Mine won't be up until Friday, but still... you can read last week's until then. Aloha means goodbye. GO BRAVES! Andy Chae's #1 man Mail the Author (pretty please) Visit Andy Online - the People's Website |
