However, there is already some concern that several mid-card wrestlers will refuse to put Gowen over because it would hurt their credibility by losing to someone with one leg.

 

Randy Orton vs. Shawn Michaels is rumored to be taking place at Summer Slam.

 

William Regal is now working as a road agent for the Smackdown brand.

I don't know what to make of the Orton / Michaels match.

 

On the one hand, I hate having Orton forced upon us and I want his push killed.

 

On the other, I strongly dislike Michaels and love the fact that they'll make him job to the greenhorn.

 

As for Regal, is his in-ring career finished or what?

I wonder if Shawn will do his buddy a favor and put Orton over.

I doubt it. His name isn't Hunter.

Wait until Unforgiven where the main event's probably going to be Foley vs Orton with Orton going over....

That would be a disgrace.

 

Not putting Jericho over but jobbing to Suckbag.

 

However, there is already some concern that several mid-card wrestlers will refuse to put Gowen over because it would hurt their credibility by losing to someone with one leg.

 

Ironically, this is normally when they would have Test manhandle and beat him in a failed attempt to get him over.

 

(I'm referring to the spring-mid summer SD, where every face push hit a brick wall of a beat down or job to Test. For some (Bob Holly), that seemed to be the sole reason for the push.)

Suckbag.

Orton doesn't suck! Well, he isn't good yet, but no worse than Lesnar, and he's worlds more entertaining than HHH!
