For the very first edition of the Implosion, I thought I’d keep it to wrestling. I know I hyped it, but I want to draw readers, so here's another wrestling piece.
Everyone wants to know the next push of WWE. Most would say Kennedy, but he’s not here right now. This leaves us with MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and of course, Christian Cage.
A push in the Big E is inevitable.
Guys, Cena, Orton and Edge are not enough to lead WWE through the dark ages. Triple H and Batista are aging quickly, HBK and Undertaker are preparing for a songbird match, and we can't call The Rock anymore; he's racing to a fairy-loaded Disney Channel contract...on a mountain!
WWE sadly will realize this, and this is just the start of pushes to come our way...
I hate this debate. AkD and I could just write a whole friggin’ CvC on it all day, and we’d still be fighting. It’s common knowledge around B/R that AkD has lust…I mean…love (sorry) for Shelton Benjamin.
I feel like a scout today, so have fun with this…
MVP’s case
MVP has one hell of a past. The guy gets prison time, serves 9½ years, and then starts to wrestle. Then, backstage, he tells the truth about Triple H (just like anybody else) and gets a six-month long losing streak. Otherwise, yeah, he’s good with me….
The positives? Just about everything. Good, pure athlete, but his moveset has a lot to improve on. The Playmaker isn’t that great a finisher (just an Overdrive), but his snap belly-to-belly suplex is versatile, and something to look for. Very good at selling moves, just look at all those matches with Matt Hardy and Kane.
His path? Dismal. He started out with a huge push in 2006, being given an Inferno Match with Kane, and then the U.S. Title for over a year.
Tag teams with Kennedy and of course, Matt Hardy also make the list, but show a lower push because of the fact that he was put from Upper Mid-Card to Tag Team.
Promos? Check. His heel promos can (at times) get more heat than Edge on a good day. The excuses and storylines? Already unforgettable. This man’s got it all.
His gimmick has loads to work from; best SmackDown heel I’ve seen in a while, and in only two months, this guy gets a really nice pop as a face.
