First off, I have no idea why I didn't post my column last week. Well, that's in the past, so let's get going.
The Million Dollar Giveaway. Was it only I who thought none of them seemed surprised to be called? I mean come on people, if you're going to hire fake winners, or call them to tell them to be by their phone, have them sound shocked.
They were so casual about it all, apart from the guy that swore. Latest news is that WWE did in-fact ring every winner to tell them to remember the code, and be by the phone. That's pretty disgusting.
In the UK, we've had a massive scandal unfold. Basically, the top two stations, BBC and ITV, had fake winners of their competitions, or closed lines without telling the viewers.
How can WWE get away with it? I'd love to know how. Another thing that struck me was how screwed up the whole episode of Raw was. The giveaway took up far too much time. Just as fans begin complaining that there is not enough wrestling on any more, Vince appears multiple times on our screens.
It's getting ridiculous, and it came as no surprise to hear that they are considering scrapping the competition already.
One thing I am impressed with is how the rivalry between Cena and Trips was a bubbling rivalry, not a lot happening, but with a simple grab of Cena's leg, it now monstrous. So much heat will build between the two towards Night of Champions, and I cannot wait for that match.
Ted DiBiase Jr. I love this kid already. He has one of the coolest catchphrases on the roster, and his body looks natural. Good start to his career too, with a feud developing between himself and Cody Rhodes. Both are rising stars, and it actually gives the Tag Team Championships some credibility.
Rumour has it that Harry Smith will be his partner, or at least rumour DID have it. Some absolute numpty at WWE headquarters highlighted the "mystery partner" piece on the match preview, over at wwe.com. Subtle? Yes, but unfortunately for this guy, about 3,000 people noticed, and now the wrestling community knows who his partner will be.
I can see Hardcore Holly making a turn on Cody. I don't know why, but tension is building between the two.
On to SmackDown! Batista isn't taking his break just yet. It's now expected that he will take a break after Night of Champions, so I'm not expecting him to win against Edge there. I do hope this "La Familia" stable can be broken up soon. It's boring, not entertaining in the slightest.
What's happened to MVP? I have hardly seen him lately. Could he be moving to Raw? I hope so, because I really want to see MVP vs. John Cena. What a match that could be.
Theodore Long is ECW GM. Wow, it might be watchable now. Maybe not then. I can't really comment too much on it, basically because I don't watch it. I don't have the patience to sit through Mike Adamle. What gets me is that Adamle isn't as dumb as we think. It's all part of the storyline, if it still exists.
He gets all the crap information fed through to his ear, and he has to say it. Now he's a laughingstock. I don't think any amount of money would convince me to be a laughingstock.
I'm done here. I'm off to sit through every single minute of Le Mans. I'm bloody nuts.
