Vince McMahon/Jesse Ventura, Terrible Battle Royal, Thoughts On Hogan

Some acts are just infinitely chemical and can return after any amount of time, as fresh and impressive as ever.

This certainly was not the feeling this writer got while watching the uncomfortable performance by Vince McMahon and Jesse "The Body" Ventura this past Monday night. There were a few things wrong here - has anyone else noticed how old Vince is sounding these days? He sounded almost winded about three minutes in and his voice sounds just like Ventura's. Ventura was as irritating as always, although it was funny listening to McMahon's uncomfortable tone. The two have had their points of aggression over the years and this broadcast was dripping with it. The two constantly ripped  each other apart and just by the way McMahon acted in response, it didn't appear typically scripted.

All that said, this was horrible. They sounded like a couple of cranky old drunks too uninterested in the match (as were many of us) to keep from nattering at eachother. While the idea is there, this seemed very odd and sloppy. Ventura should go and pass some sanitation laws and Vince should stick to sleeping with divas and counting bills backstage. When it comes to the match, I have always been a fan of a good battle royal. This one was completely uninteresting and this is the reason that everyone including McMahon and Ventura was and is more interested in their dialogue. Legacy -once again- was involved in a standoff in the ring. This is terrible becaus it happens in every WWE battle royal these days. I have always been a fan of Orton, but now he irritates me, and not in the good way that a heel should. In that "poor guy would do a better job on himself than the writers" kind of way. This faction stinks - big time. 

So hogan is involved with TNA now. Wonderful. I know there are skeptics out there but I have to say that I will be surprised if his presence doesn't vastly help TNA, and there is no way he will hurt them at all.  I know people are going to say this or that, but he will not hurt. That said, please GOD don't let Ric Flair join TNA permanently. He's been great to the business and yadda yahh, I respect the man for that. But, he stayed around way too long, and we do not need to see him full-time again. Please, stay in Australia. 

That's all, Folks. Tune in again.
