I’m still trying to figure out why the WWE has decided to call Joe Hennig, Michael McGillicutty. When he was introduced, they even said he was a 3rd generation wrestler and that he was the son of Curt and grandson of Larry “The Axe.” I was disappointed that he didn’t get much mic time when they introduced the new NXT Second Season wrestlers. But I’m sure he will get his time. If he doesn’t win this, I may just have to give up being a column writer forever. The plan is to have this season run for 3 months-probably about the time Undertaker returns. Then it will be discovered (I’m guessing) that Season One of NXT were the culprits of his beat down…oops, did I give anything away WWE? Just do us all a favor WWE writers, don’t mess this one up. Take it slow and ease into the NXT faction. We fans want something to come back to each week as long as it’s interesting. If you mess this up, there probably isn’t any hope for the federation. We will be watching, well, for the most part.When it first aired on SyFy, I didn’t like the idea of the NXT but over time it grew on me. I guess I have to realize the WWE needs new blood in the federation and this is the way to do it. Introduce us fans to guys we have never seen before and show us what they have, if anything. The WWE needs something to get its engine roaring again and this idea may be it. I’m sure the Undertaker only has a couple years in him and Edge even admitted that he could be at a couple as well. HHH isn’t getting any younger and John Cena may be this generations Hulk Hogan, but even he had his time to call it quits. Everyone get older that’s just a fact. With NXT, it will help develop new talent for a new generation of wrestling fans. Speaking of the Undertaker, I understand he will be out of action for a good 2-3 months because of what Rey Mysterio did at a house show. I didn’t realize how devastating the 619 could be. I guess if you don’t block the darn thing correctly, the outcome is quite drastic. I cringe just thinking about how bad it hurt. Lets all take a moment and say a prayer for our phenom the Undertaker. I hope he recovers quickly and gets back into the ring at full force. He will be missed this summer. Get well soon!! I have said this before and I will say it again until it gets through the skulls of the writers of the WWE, get rid of the guest host idea. It has outlived its purpose. After seeing this past Monday’s edition with the “A-Team” I knew the idea had jumped the shark, actually when Cheech and Chong were on is when it jumped, but the fact remains, the guest host thing needs to be ended and ended soon. I still want my man Christian to get a fair shake at the title. He has more talent in his little finger then Cena has in his entire body. I have to believe the reason he isn’t getting that fair shake is because he left and went to TNA. At least in TNA he won their title in no time and stayed in main event status pretty much the entire time he was there. Well, then his contract ran out there and he returned to the WWE. He did win the ECW Championship, but by then that belt didn’t really mean much (in my opinion anyways). Now he sits waiting for something big to come along. Will it ever blossom into a World Title run? My outlook for Christian being a World Champ doesn’t look very good. He might get a run at the United States Championship or the Intercontinental Belt, but as far as a World Champ is concerned, I really doubt it will happen. This man has what it takes to be World Champ, but Vince just doesn’t see the talent he has in Christian. That’s a pity. I will always hope though that Christian will be World Champ someday, if a no talent like Jack Swagger can have it, why not Christian-a man that oozes talent and charisma? I know I posted only a few days ago, but I had a few more things on my mind. I doubt this will be a common occurrence, but if exciting things happen in the world of the WWE I will talk about it. I know you ask why I don’t talk about TNA, I would if I had the time to watch it when it’s on. I will try over the course of the summer to give it another try. But this time of year is quite busy for me. I will try is all I am saying. That’s my 3 cents worth, til next time……
