Taking a Swing Before the Rumble |
Welcome Chairshot fanatics! I received a
great deal of feedback from all of you regarding my last column. Every one of
you seemed to be in agreement with me that Kane should deserve a push. Now, it
just remains to be seen if indeed that will happen. Now, I have a few more
things I would like to address in this week’s column.
One of those things happens to involve The Big Show. Now, I know that Show is
not the fastest man in the world and he does not posses the athleticism of a
Cruiserweight, but the man can move around the ring pretty good for someone that
is over 7 feet tall and close to 500lbs. Maybe it is time for not only Kane to
regain his dominance, but it’s time for The Big Show as well. Back in his WCW
days, the man could hardly be stopped. He comes over to the WWF and seemed to
make a pretty impressive appearance. Not too long after entering the WWF, Show
won the WWF title and seemed to be on his way. Then, he hit a tremendous brick
wall that laid him flat on his 500lb ass. Since then, he has not done much and
has not received much of a push from the WWF writers. So, what would it take to
get The Big Show back at the main event level? Well, it would not hurt him to
lose about 50 to 75lbs and try to lean up some more. He’s tried in the past,
but can’t seem to reach that level and stay there. I also think he should go
on a tear of matches where he goes undefeated. Have something happen to him that
causes him to just snap and take out all of his anger and frustration on just
about all of the WWF roster. Then, once he has reached the level of being
invincible to the fans, push him back into the main event spotlight. That’s
just a few ideas off the top of my head, but that would at least be a start in
the right direction.
Now, What in the hell is up with The Big Bossman? This man could not entertain a
group of innocent mined kids, much less 15,000 grown adults. He is WAY past his
prime and does not need to be in the ring with the main event guys such as The
Rock, Jericho, and Stone Cold. Bossman needs to either be in some kind of
training facility so that he can train young, up and coming wrestlers, or he
needs to go back to Cobb County Georgia and be a detention officer since he
seems to love that character so much. That’s just my opinion people, I’d be
curious to know what all of you think. WHAM!!! Take that chairshot Bossman!!!
The Royal Rumble is coming up this weekend, and everyone can’t wait to see who
will be the winner of the Rumble. Everyone seems to believe that Triple H will
be the definite winner, but I’m not so sure that should happen. I think it
would be way too obvious and I believe the writers should not let Triple H win
it. Have him come very close and maybe be one of the last two men in the ring,
but get thrown over the top rope. To be honest, I’m not sure who I would like
see win the Rumble. Having Taker win it and get his “respect” would be cool.
Kane winning it would be a great gift to him for all of his hard work. Having
Stone Cold win it would be just as predictable as Triple H winning it. Booker T
winning it would definitely be a swerve, but I don’t think the majority of the
fans would go for it. Kurt Angle would be a nice surprise, even though I’m not
an Angle mark. Having Angle the last man standing would put a nice little twist
on the main event at Wrestlemania and it could point to a possible 3-way match.
When it boils down to the last men in the ring, you can bet that the men I have
mentioned will more than likely be some of those men.
I personally do not want The Rock to beat Jericho and Stone Cold win the Rumble.
I’m sick of seeing a Stone Cold vs. Rock main event. We’ve seen that too
many times at Wrestlemania. It is now time to give someone else that spotlight
at Wrestlemania. To be honest, I’m not quite sure how I would like to see the
main event shape up. Maybe a 3-way match, or even a 4-way match would be
interesting. I think I will just wait and see how things play out over the next
few months. As long as I don’t see both Rock and Stone Cold in the main event,
I’ll be happy.
We shall see the return of The Godfather and Val Venis at the Rumble. I have to
admit, I’m very glad about that. I’ve missed The Godfather and Val Venis
characters. Those two wrestlers will also spice up the Intercontinental title
race and help bring that belt back up to where it should be. I doubt we will see
anything develop from the Golddust character, but I have to admit that I would
not mind seeing him stick around. I always thought he was a very interesting
character that brought a little bit of mystery to the WWF. But again, I doubt we
will see that happen.
There has been much speculation regarding Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Hulk Hogan
entering the WWF very soon. As far as I’m concerned, that day can’t come
soon enough. I’m a huge fan of Hall and Nash and seeing the nWo reformed in
the WWF would definitely be TOOO SWEEEET! Only time will tell if that will play
out, but I have my fingers crossed that we will see them strolling out from
under the Titantron to the Wolfpac music very soon. A lot of people believe that
it will cause tension in the backstage area due to the large egos of Hall, Nash,
and Hogan. I believe that Vince would not do anything to jeopardize the good
karma in the backstage area. If these guys do come back, I think Vince can keep
them in check.
Well, that’s about all that I have on my cranium at this time. I will be back
very soon with some very interesting interviews that I have conducted with
several Independent wrestlers. Keep your eye out for those. I’m continuing my
effort to help wrestling fans see the other side of wrestling besides what you
see on WWF television many times a week. All of the guys in the WWF today
started out with Indy federations and I’m anxious to see how the next
generation of stars will turn out. Please take time to read these interviews if
you can. They are very interesting. As always, feel free to email me your
feedback to Chairshots2head@yahoo.com. Don’t blame me for the tremendous pain
that is shooting down the back of your neck and into your spine. Maybe next time
you will be sure to keep your eye out for a tremendous “Chair Shot to the
Cranium”.
