The Undertaker vs. Batista, Cena and the other 3
They're gonna be taking on each other again on Backlash a week from tomorrow.
Can't say I'm that excited. It already happened (seems only yesterday when my brother and I were dreaming up that match-up, and now it already happened...), and it was worth the long wait. But I'm not really a fan of rematches. Seeing them together, whether howling on each other or competing in a sure-win tag team match, kind of takes the...you know, what do you call it? It takes the umf! out of the upcoming game. I think it's better to like, keep them apart for a while, you know, let them trash talk each other separately.
But I guess WWE thinks teaming them up builds up the anticipation for Backlash. I don't know, maybe it does. I don't know if it works for me though. Maybe with some cases. But I must admit, Batista and Undertaker's match against Mr. Kennedy and Finlay (I hate that guy) did kind of strengthen the tension between them. I was expecting either of them to turn traitor again at anytime. I guess it's a good thing no one did. I kind of hate seeing Batista turn into a heel, but hey, I guess that's part of career development.
So now we go to RAW.
I'm a fan of John Cena. Really. No matter what anybody says, I think he's a terrific wrestler. He's resilient. He's all about respect. He never quits.
And not forgetting that he has a nice butt.
In spite of that, sometimes, I can't help but feel kind of sad that he retained the championship at Wrestlemania. Shawn Michaels is perfectly deserving of that title. Well, I was thinking that he might be close to retiring so they should, you know, give him a last go at the championship or something. Or maybe he's set to do a Rick Flair and stay at WWE until all the other players are young enough to be his grandchildren.
Hey, I'm not dissing the Nature Boy. He's a legend. Always packed with a hundred or so chops. WOOOOOOOOOOO!
Anyway, about the Fatal 4 way of Cena, Orton, Edge, and Shawn Michaels. Well, I don't know. WWE's strategy now is to drag as many superstars as possible into a feud and set them loose in the ring. I'm not into matches that involve more than 2 people. Great matches are one-on-one matches. I guess it's because the audience can really concentrate on the two of them unlike a 3-way or a 4-way where someone would be pinning someone while the other two take on each other outside the ring... Whatever happens, you'd be missing some sort of action. Someone might get pinned without you watching, and that's like, a tenth of the ticket fee down the drain.
This thing about Shawn and Cena...wasn't that exciting to begin with. Their match at Wrestlemania was way below Lashley's and Umaga's, and Undertaker's and Batista's. Cena taking on a smaller guy just isn't... well, adrenaline-rushing. Hey, I admire Shawn very much. Very very much. He's a sure Hall of Famer. His stint at Royal Rumble with the Undertaker was just so amazing. But Shawn with Cena... I don't know. If they did a feud with Shawn and the Undertaker, then that would get everyone on the edge of their seats.
Cena vs. RKO. Randy and Edge are like a bickering married couple. Who's the girl? I'm not sure yet. But I'm kind of leaning towards Randy for that part. Him screaming "Get out of here!" at Edge during his match with Shawn is so funny.
But that doesn't diminish the fact that Randy is just oh so hot and sexy and I live to marry him someday.
Still, I can't wait 'til Backlash. Expect RKO to betray each other yet again. I'm rooting for Undertaker to retain the championship. If I'm made to choose who'd hold the WWE championship, I'd want Randy or Shawn to have it. But I don't know. If Shawn is WWE champion, what'd happen when Triple H comes back? I love DX. They're a big part of why I'm watching WWE again. I don't want them to break up again. But I've got a feeling that that will happen soon. Maybe within the first half of this year... Whenever Triple H comes back.
Noooo. I've only just gotten my DX shirt!
