WWE gets dumber and dumber

Recommended Posts

Guest ISportsFan

WWE rarely ever chooses to acknowledge their past, and when they do we get all excited.

 

So, one of the rare times they do, what do they put on their website?

 

http://www.wwe.com/media/2003/06/25/1227463

 

Mabel winning the King of the Ring.

 

MABEL! You know, the man who ruined an entire card and tanked a SummerSlam buyrate all by himself.

 

What about the feuds in the past that people currently feuding have had? Or great matches of the past?

 

Nope, King Mabel.

I can see it now:

 

Mabel runs in on RAW, setting up the HIGHLY ANTICIPATED Rosey and Mabel tag team, collectively known as "The Femininely Named Fatasses". They'll go on to feud with The Dudleyz.

I would totally mark out for that, actually.

 

 

 

But, then again, I like crap.

Then they could do a talk segment in the vein of Piper's Pit, and it would be a ripoff of women's talk shows like Rosie O'Donnell or The View. Mabel of course would take the Star Jones role.

The only positive thing that can come out of a Mabel return: watching him slip on beer again.

 

EDIT: changed a slight error.

Maybe when Mae Young dies, they can do a shoot necrophilia angle.

The fans aren't much smarter if the poll there is any indication. I mean seriously, who in the blue hell would think that Ken Frickin' Shamrock is the best King of the Ring winner of them all?

No kidding. It's obviously Mr. Ass, far and beyond anyone else! He certainly didn't Owen Hart his KOTR title.

As Bad as them re-living Mabel...

 

It's still not them reliving Gooker, Necro Night, or any Mae Young thing.

That's because they're too busy giving us NEW Mae Young crap to worry about replaying the old stuff.

For some reason I got the idea of them doing a Linda Richmond-esque show. That makes me roll with laughter

Get Linda McMahon in to present it... It would be electrifying

Ruined an entire card? Which card are you talking about? I'm sure you're talking about his lovely title match with Diesel at Summerslam '95...

He ruined King of the Ring by wrestling twice AND eliminating the only crowd favorite not named Shawn Michaels. I think that's where he was going with that.

King of the Ring 1995. Sure, it wasn't a great card in and of itself, but if he didn't win and Shawn Michaels did or something like that we could have had 3 HBK matches (which is a good card, like him or not).

 

Instead, we got a Diesel tag main event, 2 Mabel matches, 4 Savio Vega matches, and Vince's big man fetish in full force.

 

2 Mabel matches is enough to kill oneself.

 

That's what I was talking about with the card comment.

Who in the hell decided that Mabel deserved that kind of push anyways? He's like a second-rate Yokozuna...

Well, it isn't as if Kevin Nash has ever deserved a holy push like he's received many times, or Paul Wight, either. But they get them.

 

Unfortunately, there are absolutely no redeeming qualities about Mabel, because at least both of the above have had some good matches in the past. Mabel has had none.

Personally, I thought Diesel was a pretty cool character, due to the fact that he was really powerful, and was the antithesis to Bret Hart, making their matches pretty interesting by contrasting the new generation and the old generation, and giving lots of longevity to a feud that could have gone stale rather quickly if it had involved anyone else. I have no comment on Paul Wight because he's never been more than wasted potential to me but... Diesel was the original bad-ass to me... then again maybe it was because I was younger at the time and looked up to them like they were gods amongst men. :P
