The C Man

Am I the only one who enjoyed his series of matches with J Jeff Jarrett? I know it seemed better because of the crap that was going on around it but there were still some decent matches in there. One of the bad things with Booker is that he has either been lumbered with JR-pleasing Hosses - or simply bad workers - or some half-ass and plain stupid storylines e.g. shampoo commercial. I've always felt Booker could be carried quite easily to great matches given the chance.

Personally I think the whole Bradshaw title reign is even worse than first thought. If you think about it it screws up the potential Angle-Eddie feud, which should've run along the following lines: Evil GM Angle throws everything, and everybody, at Eddie. Eddie always manages to prevail, keeping his title while Angle gets more and more desperate. In a final act of desperation Angle throws the Big Show, the man who 'ended his career' at Eddie. Again Eddie prevails. Angle then does a U-turn and resigns as GM saying that he failed to do his job correctly, he let a personal vendetta get in the way and that is no way for an Olympic champion to act. He says that he is ashamed of what he has put Eddie through and wants to apologise. Eddie - being the classic forgiving face - accepts Angle apology. Angle then leaves. Maybe a week or so later Eddie brings Angle back (retirement ceremony?, something). Angle is still in his wheelchair and then pulls a SWERVE~! and attacks Eddie in a Sandman-Tommy Dreamer style. That would happen right on time for Angle to end Eddie's title reign at Wrestlemania.

I think I'm right in saying that Terri was scheduled to turn on The Little Clubberer and side with Pillman. God knows where that would've led.

Why not make it an actual, real division, with a points system. You can have a cruiserweight table with the person sitting at the top of the table getting the title shot at the end of the month. Do something like two points for a win, one for a draw, and zero for a loss. That way every single cruiser match has a purpose and the WWE doesn't even need to create a storyline for the title-shot, it can be obtained simply by winning matches. This could in turn set-up interesting storylines. Say for instance Rey is sitting second in the table and needs a win to become first and get the title shot. The previous week on Smackdown Rey's arch rival Mark Jindrak (it has to be someone not in the cruiser division) layed a real beating on Rey and Rey is looking for revenge. Evil Mr. Angle grants Rey a match with Jindrak, or he could have a cruiser match and potentially get first place. So what does Rey do? Does he go for Jindrak and opt out of the title match (I understand that could hurt the image)? Or does he take a risk and have the cruiser match, knowing that he could end up with nothing. That was just a simple example of a simple storyline, all containing the Cruiser title. Maybe they could even put in a rule where no one wrestler can get consecutive title shots, thereby making a title shot more meaningful when it comes.

So that's what happened to the infamous Too Cool marriage angle then. But looking at the first pic I definately see a bit of Bob Holly in there as well.
