So, I get caught up in the hype about the "new Monday night wars". I watched both Raw and Impact last night.
Raw was shitty, Impact was worse, but this was someone mitigated by the good main event.
I was dissapointed by all of the Bret Hart business. Maybe it was unreasonable to expect anything different, but Bret looked like shit. Then again, he is 52 years old. Hey Bret, maybe if you're old and fat, don't wear a t-shirt and shorts. Wear a suit.
The opening segment with Bret and Shawn was awesome, because I think it was pretty much a shoot.
Also, Bret claimed that it wasn't him, Stu, or any of his brothers who stretched Jericho in the dungeon. He claimed it was Smith's kids. Uh, Bret-like 2% of the people know what you're talking about.
And the ending was dissapointing. It would have been better had Bret caught Vince's leg and locked on the sharpshooter, then as Vince taps like a bitch cut to a shot to Shawn Michaels watching, then end the show.
As dissapointing as this was, Impact was an absolute cluster fuck.
First of all, you're running a three hour show. You have an unopposed hour, and here's how you start off:
1. A DQ that didn't make any sense. The crowd chants, "This is bullshit".
2. A horribly booked Jeff Hardy run in. Jeff Hardy was the World fucking Heavyweight Champion 6 months ago and crazy over. And this is what you give him? I mean, don't get me wrong, Jeff Hardy sucks. But, people do like him.
3. A Kevin Nash interview.
4. ODB going over Tara, when Tara is one of the recognizable faces to WWE fans.
Uh, no one wants to see this shit.
LOL at Hogan saying "I've been in the back all day" when they just showed his limo driving around for eternity.
LOL at TNA not being able to time Hogan's arrival properly. He should have started talking at 8:59. I was like, uh, fuck waiting for this, the fucking Hitman is coming on.
LOL at Jarrett coming out and cutting a babyface promo, and then Hogan coming out and cutting a babyface promo on him.
LOL at the Nasty Boys feuding with 3D. No one wants to see this shit.
LOL at Beer Money hardly being on the show, when they're the most over tag team.
LOL at not even holding the barbed wire match.
LOL at Nigel jobbing out again.
LOL at hiring a couple of clowns like Hall and Waltman.
That's just scratching the surface.
Now, the main event was very good. I'd give it 3 and 3/4, some people will rate it higher, but it was a little spotty and short on storytelling for my tastes. Thing is, this should have been a PPV match.
All in all, the show was a train wreck. Nothing on this show made me want to turn in next week.
Also, to the bitch they interviewed who said "WE WANT CHAIRSHOTS TO THE HEAD!"
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU, YOU STUPID FUCKING MARK. I GUESS YOU WANT MORE BENOITS. NO ONE SHOULD BE TAKING CHAIRSHOTS TO THE HEAD IN THIS DAY AND AGE. NO ONE.
