Has, er, anyone else noticed that most of Raw has happened, yet the WWE champion has yet to even have a drop of his name..?

 

YOu had to open your mouth.......cause you know there will be Cena or talk of Cena in this.

Where in the hell did Jerry Lawler go?

 

He didn't take that bad of a beating from Masters that he can't commentate.

He's gone to celebrate with DX.

 

Well he really likes chips and dip.

Umaga in the World Title makes Baby Jesus cry.

 

Seriously, how can we have a World Champion that can't even cut a promo and is a 2-D stereotypical stereotype?

 

He won't win.....it's just a program to fill time before Mania. Since Cena really had no one to work with in the time frame.

The use of "stereotypical stereotype" was intentional to illustrate that he is literally a STEREOTYPE of a Samoan Savage. He has no characteristics besides being a STEREOTYPE OF A SAMOAN SAVAGE.

 

Being a good worker and believable monster doesn't crack it. There's a reason that we never got, "Bam Bam Bigelow- WWF Champion". People want engaging characters and people that they can either intensely hate (for a reason) or relate to.

 

I just can't get emotionally invested in Umaga's character.

 

EDIT- Good catch Hawk, I had completely blocked the Yokozuna era out of my mind. But then again, Yokozuna was a Polynesian Sumo Wrestler who represented Japan with his manager Mr. Fuji and American Spokesperson James E. Cornette.

 

Now, Armando is no Jim Cornette.

Yeah, he went crazy during his big push and blew it.

Umaga's not supposed to be likeable, he's supposed to get his babyface opponent a great reaction.

 

That's why he faced so many no-names early on Raw, to build him up and help out the big-name babyfaces he faces. Like Cena. Even the Cena haters aren't gonna love the idea of Umaga with the belt.
