Jack_Bauer 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2004 Okay. I'll start with a feud that has made me watch the WWE with great interest. Randy Orton v Mick Foley. I have seen a lot of hate for Randy Orton coming from the IWC. It's pretty bad really. All you EVER see is 'he's not over'. Wanna know WHY he's not over ? Because all of his feuds have been awful. This is the only one so far to REALLY capture my interest, and should finally do the trick. So far the feud has been done really well and I'm now GLAD they went with the Mick Foley being a coward storyline, but a couple of things didn't make sense in the Royal Rumble part of the feud. 1) Why did Mick Foley take out Test ? Why not someone else ? Why didn't he just ask for a place in the match itself because I'm SURE Austin would have given him it. 2) Why did Mick Foley put the Mr. Socko on Nunzio ? The brawl between Orton and Foley after the elimination was class, and the fans were TOTALLY into it, and seem to be FINALLY buying into the character of Orton. It looks like Foley v Orton will be SOME kind of gimmick match when it finally happens. RAW hinted towards this as well. The weird thing about the RAW incident was Foley making himself bleed. It seems that they MAY be making it look like Foley has gone over the egde with Randy Orton. No matter what happens from this point though, it looks like we are gonna have a good old fashioned blood fued. This of course brings me to their RAW segment. Now, obviously I haven't seen it, but the thing looks bloody awesome. The insane Foley seems as if he's a wonder to behold. Orton was supposed to have been TERRIFIED at this. What THIS does, is it takes the cockiness away from the character of Orton, and he finally looks as if he MAY have found his match. So, when Orton goes over Foley clean, the fans will REALLY buy into it and Orton will be made into a star. I have faith in WWE when it comes to this fued because they have booked it REALLY well so far. We then move onto the hot topic .... Chris Benoit. Royal Rumble Winner 2004. He goes onto Wrestlemania to take on the RAW Champion whomever that may be. Chris Benoit said he doesn't care WHICH of the two men he has to face. I'm hoping this leads to a Shawn Michaels v Triple H match with HBK winning the title. Not because I wanna see HHH lose the belt ( I'll explain that later ) but because Shawn Michaels v Chris Benoit would be an amazing match. It would CERTAINLY be the main event. There is a problem here though. Chris Benoit seemed like he REALLY wanted to win the WWE Title, so why has he suddenly decided he wants the World Title. It's stupid and dumb, but if it leads to a good match, then I'm happy. Triple H now. Quite possibly getting even WORSE. The thing is, the Shawn Michaels fued has TOTALLY sold me on Triple H. The fans quite clearly hate the guy. He's an awesome heel. So now, I seem to be liking the fact that he's the World Champion. Now, it seems he is gonna lose his title rather soon, whether it be to Chris Benoit or Shawn Michaels. If he DOES keep the belt though, I really won't mind. Triple H IS the #1 heel on RAW. I'm beginning to realise that now. The fans hate him with a passion ( notice how I never said 'smarks' there ) and this is the same reason I don't mind Goldberg. It's about the fans, so if someone is over with the fans, why shouldn't they be #1 ? Now, WWE is all about sports entertainment ( when I wanna see WRESTLING, I'll watch my ROH tapes ) so I am enjoying the Chris Jericho fued for now. I'm wondering where this is gonna go for Wrestlemania though. I have a funny feeling that Edge is gonna come in here somewhere. There hasn't been anything hinting at it yet, but Chris Jericho and Edge have had a decent fued before, and they never had a proper chance to blow the fued off. Christian's part in the fued is also getting him over with me, and is another thing that makes me think Edge will play a part. Christian should be getting over as a badass heel with this fued as well. Kane v Undertaker fued is being played REALLY well so far. When the Undertaker gong happened, I nearly hit the roof. When Spike Dudley came out, I was laughing. Now, on RAW, the titantron goes all crazy, and hints at the return of the Dead Man. Kane then realises he's in the great blue light that Undertaker used to have. That should be a GREAT visual. WWE REALLY seem to be hitting their A-Game when it comes to Mania. I think it's amazing that Smackdown hasn't been able to get these kinds of fueds going. I'm not gonna pass much comment on Smackdown though untill AFTER I see it, but I wonder if they'll do anything to continue the Brock v Berg fued. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why didn't he just ask for a place in the match itself because I'm SURE Austin would have given him it. 2) Why did Mick Foley put the Mr. Socko on Nunzio ? Because he's HARDCORE. He wants everyone to know he's not a coward, and that he hasn't lost it. Orton was his main focus, but he'll do anything. He also attacked the timekeeper or someone at ringside.

Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2004 Thank Jesus for OnlyMe. It made PERFECT sense for Foley to return to the Rumble the way he did, people who can't see that need their heads readjusted. The angle worked brilliantly and was as effective as it could of been. UYI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest OnlyMe Report post Posted January 28, 2004 I disagree. This put Foley over loads, and gave his in-ring wrestling return to the paying customer. This can only increase buyrates. How did the Rumble detract from Raw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
