I know that I went dormant after barely getting my foot in the door here at XHeadlines… I was barely around long enough for people to learn my name! It was sudden, and I left no indication of where I went or what was happening. The truth is, I had some very personal issues to deal with, and although those remain to be resorted and worked out, I’m resuming with this column for the foreseeable future.
Writing is, has, and always will be an outlet of mine, and some of my readers who know me are probably wondering why I didn’t write about the issues that were on my plate. Well, my plate was awfully full, so to speak, and the things that were going on with me just didn’t belong in this column nor my blog (www.kgblovesoreos.com).
Moving on…
The WWE was awfully hit-or-miss for the month of July. RAW, for the most part, was boring and predictable. Smackdown, on the other hand, was anything but. For the sake of not needing to rehash old and now-completed storylines, I’ll run down a quick list of what the WWE knocked out of the park, and what they swung-and-missed on…
WWE Homeruns
- Pushing young talent to championship-level contenders
- Edge’s soap opera-esque drama
- Everything Santino Marella did
- Batista vs. John Cena
- Pushing Divas, Michelle McCool and Mickie James, to heights we haven’t seen since Trish and Lita
- Unveiling an interesting option as RAW General Manager
WWE Strikeouts
- Triple H vs. Khali (a bit WTF)
- not allowing CM Punk to become a “legitimate” champion (just look at how he’s retained his championship every time)
- Further tarnishing the once prestigious Intercontinental Championship by relegating it to low-card status (at least until very recently)
- Pushing too many large, heel wrestlers as “monsters”
- Not giving a damn about the ECW
- On average, only allowing 32-37 minutes of wrestling per episode (which I will discuss later this week)
