Thoughts From Atop The Lair 06/25/2011: Is it Real or Memorex?

1305350370149I am TMIB, The Man In Black, and I sit high atop my lair observing the wrestling world as we know it. I have watched over the last three weeks and I wonder if the WWE has a Memorex copier.

By that I mean do the put a series of match ups between superstars and just change the order or outcome each week. I saw the same matches on the previous two weeks on Smack Down. I mean the same crap. Only a few parts of the show was worth watching because we saw it the week before. Thank heavens they changed it up this week.

It seem the WWE is having trouble keeping it fresh. I wonder if the PG rating is limited their creative juices. I know its boring the hell out of me. How bored am I? It's bad when I play words for friends or check twitter on my phone or computer while I am watching wrestling. This isn't always the case but more often lately. They need to realize that some fans have been watching it all and get tired of seeing the same old tired shit.

Now for something's their doing right: 1. The fact that Mark Henry is being what he is The Worlds Strongest Man is good. You cant sit and watch a guy that big get punked out all the time. Yes he has an issue with being in a rut as far as his skill set but so does Christian. If I see the legs through the rope kick one more time I may choke. I mean that wouldn't.t work and you can time your watch by it. It happens every match and looks as stupid as it did every other time you see it. 2. I liked the Uso's tribute to their heritage. I also like the tribute to Kishi with the in ring dance..hate they lost though. I could get used to former Core members Gabriel and Slater as a tag team especially since I couldn't stand The Core. The feud with the Uso's could be a good thing. 3. Randy Orton teaming with Kane..now that's mixing things up and they worked together well even though they lost. I have to agree with my friend @PricelessVoices..Randy's smile is creepy...LOL. Randy's "Hi, for you that don't know...I'm Randy Orton" gimmick is funny as hell. I think allowing him to show some emotion was a good idea. 4. I think the R-Truth heel turn, though to extreme at times, has broadened his character. The dancing did get on my nerves a little. Christian heel turn seems to be stuck in the mud...I believe it should be turned up a notch.

As for Raw, I wonder if CM Punk is leaving or staying. I am not a fan per say, however there have been tones of rumors floating about. My other question is do we want to see Cena vs. Punk again..there we go same old crap. Why cant we see something new PPPPLEEEAAAASSEEE! I mean I dont like Punk but if he is leaving for real..I believe WWE is loosing an asset or an ASS if you listen to some talk on twitter. He has talent don't get me wrong.

In closing I hope the WWE realizes we get tired of seeing the same thing over and over.

Thanks TMIB
