See, it's already working, WWE has just got at least 1 more full-time Smackdown watcher due to the draft.
I miss Andre the Giant.
Hey neat JBL is on Cashin' In on Fox News. Surprisingly he's pretty tolerable there. I actually enjoyed watching and listening to what he had to say.

I actually thought JBL was a good champion. I just wish they didn't have him do cheap stuff to retain it. His red neck gimmick was pretty good.
I don't even watch wrestling anymore but on the subject of JBL the push was far too fast and he went from one half of a tag team who had seen better days to champion material far too abruptly. It didn't feel right at all lol.
No, he's gone for good. He has an announcing job in an indy MMA league, owns a controlling interest in OVW, plus he has his financial advising and his supplement company. He almost didn't come back the last time he did after he broke his back. I don't think we'll see him again.
Well, he's gone now. Now Raw has two heels and eleventy-billion faces. At least JBL was a body for the faces to fight.
Even though I guess the Miz is getting a main event push now, if last night was any indication.
Hmmmm, the only thing I can see happening with The Miz is him getting his ass kicked by Cena next Monday night, or whenever it will occur.
But he certainly made an impression on RAW last night.
He's definitely good enough on the stick, but we really haven't gotten a chance to see what he is capable of in the ring, as most of his matches have either been tag matches or BS matches against one-half of another tag team.
The Miz has a lot more potential than a lot of fans give him credit for, I think he'll do fine as a top tier wrestler. I'm honestly more worried about how Morrison is going to do without him than how Miz will do without Morrison.

Morrison is a much better wrestler than Miz (if previous examples of Miz's ability were the best he can do), but Miz is better on the stick than Morrison. It is a toss-up
Yeah but part of Morrison's appeal was Miz accenting his good ring work with great mic work. Morrison isn't really that great on the mic, and right now mic time buys you more fans than good wrestling skills. Miz is decent enough on the mat but man he's good at getting people to hate him by running his mouth.
That being said I was pretty disappointed in his Cena callout. He seemed pretty off doing that, although it was just his first night on Raw.

That is very true. Honestly Cena has been doing it for quite some time and still isn't very good on the mic.

Haha yeah, he was pretty bad then. Speaking of Orton, he just has started getting good when he started in on his new angle.
I can also remember when Y2J was barely allowed to touch a mic back in his WCW days...

He was never bad though. Remember when he stood in the ring for like twenty minutes with his list of 1004 holds? lol, that was great
Number one: Arm Drag
Number two: Arm Bar
Number three: Moss-covered Three-Handled Family Credenza
Number four: Arm Bar
Number five: The Saskatchewan
Number six: Arm Bar
lol
I actually forgot all about that. Now that you mentioned it I'm going to have to go back and watch it though.
I also just noticed that I seem to turn every wrestling discussion into a Y2J discussion. Also, a lot of non-wrestling discussions as well. That's probably not healthy.

Well, neither is desirable, but Batista would actually be preferable imo. For the past few months it seems every time I see Orton his work is a little slower and a little sloppier. The guy literally moves at like .002 miles per hour. It takes him like 20 minutes to walk to the ring. On Monday his music played all the way through and started repeating before he even had a mic in his hands.
I was actually thinking to myself, what happens if Orton runs out of music?
And then it started again. And then he spoke...which I hate...I never want to have to listen to one of Orton's dialogues again. Someone seriously needs to hurry up an punt him in the head...
Unfortunately, Orton can't take time off any time soon, with Cena getting ready to leave for a while and HHH and HBK currently gone.
That makes me sad
I still like Orton, but even I am having a hard time enjoying his presence right now. He needs to get after it a little bit better.

lol, not like that, it was just hilariously random and cracked me up. From now on, whenever I depart from someone, I am going to flex as I walk away.
Raw is actually going very well tonight. There were a few unnecessary things like the sing-off, but other than that it's not been that bad. MVP/Rhodes was better than I thought it would be, Miz did a damn fine job on the mic, Cena hasn't said a word so far, and Cena got beat down.
Overall I'd give it a B.

Well one problem that I had with it is having to see two of the most boring wrestlers on the roster in the ring for what seemed like forever while the guy that I wanted to see disappeared for some reason when show came out.
