This angle with the same sex union of Chuck and Billy is really a retread of one original planned for Too Much/Too Cool was scheduled to do about three years ago during the 'Attitude' era. Why it was ressurected I can only guess.


The federation will have to be careful with this. Either it will go over well, or have homophobe and homosexual lobbies both upset.

Tonight's RAW started the move to give each show their own titles, by splitting the World title so that each show could have one. I know that awarding it to Triple H will fuel the conspiracy rants from some corners... but more importantly, this opens up the door for separate tag team titles again, and maybe a return for the US Title.


Meanwhile, I can see the beginnings for a push for Rob Van Dam to the main event ranks.

Heat tonight made me think of just how many wasted talents are on the WWE roster. Some folks seem destined only for the 'B' shows - and don't seem worthy of elevation beyond that.


Example: Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli. Reno was let go. Elix Skipper was as well. Both of them had far more talent and sizzle than Johnny. He just comes to the ring, and he literally gives off a "not even a lower midcarder" vibe.


I won't even start my rant about Albert on the Smackdown! side.

While I watched Velocity this week, I had a thought: not only is the Undertaker not an interesting choice for a main event challenger at the next PPV, he continues a problem I (and many others) have been complaining about for years now: the top card isn't varied here. Regardless of the fact that Brock Lesner has now become part of it, we're still being shovelled constant matches with The Rock / Triple H / Undertaker involved. The only change to the list is that Stone Cold Steve Austin is gone, and The Rock is now on leave for Hollywood.


Does that mean there are now only two other guys in the top matches? If so, that's sad. Pathetic, really.
