The Hardcore Revolution: A New Faction and The Build To Judgment Day

To start this weeks Revolution off I must say I have been impressed by all three shows lately.  

Usually, I love Raw or ECW and hate Smackdown, but lately I have been infatuated with ECW, a little slacked by some Raw story lines, and enthralled with Smackdown.

It's going to be a thought provoking, but short one this time so lets get right into the meat of the subjects at hand!

 

Points Of Convo

1. A New Hart Foundation, Good Idea Or Bad?

I think that this is the greatest thing to happen to wrestling since Sliced Bread No. 2, sorry for my silly pun, but I had to do it.  If you think this is bad, then you really need to change your viewing habits and leave wrestling to the big leaguers.

I am so proud of all three of these legends in the making.  Tyson Kidd has the look and the skill to be the next Bret Hart and if they ever use Natalya to her full potential, she could be the best Diva ever seen in the business.

Now David Hart Smith, or DH Smith, depending on how you know him, is a freaking beast.  Is it just me or did he beef up a lot from his Raw debut?  These three will be ruling ECW for the next years.

Look for Tyson Kidd to be the next challenger for Christian's Gold, once Christian bests Swagger at Judgment Day that is.

 

2. What Build Has Been The Worst Going Into Judgment Day?

In my opinion, it is the Edge/Jeff Hardy build.  The other two major title matches have a great build.  The Christian/Swagger match looks like it might be the best build of the three cause it is just about the two of them: the cocky Champ and the overzealous challenger. 

It might not be as epic as the Show/Cena match or the Orton/Batista match, but it has a good agenda with an ex-champ who has a blood lust and a current Champ who see's himself as the face of the brand. 

The Orton/Batista build has been corrupted by the whole Shane McMahon stuff, but it at least has been brought back into play.  And the whole segment of Raw this week sells it big time for the PPV. 

All the Edge/Hardy build has for it is that it has progressed the Jericho/Mysterio storyline.  Edge has looked horribly weak and Hardy just doesn't have the mic work yet to be a top tier guy. 

He is the top face in the company's mind with Taker out, but come on there just has not been any real sustenance to this story line.  No reason for hatred, no reason for wanting or needing the belt.  It just feels weak to me.

Feel free to disagree or tell me your opinions of the matters at hand.  Or if you feel like I have missed a Point of Conversation then let me know what you think I should discuss.

Like always: "Long Live ECW and Long Live The Extreme."
