KOP's Raw Feedback
Apologies for the severe lateness. I'm swamped with work and I also suck as a human being, so...
I kind of hate this limbo period in between new year and the Royal Rumble when it is really tough to decide if there is any point setting up new feuds or not. Cena is a prime example of one of the flaws with this time period, as he is a MEGA star in the Rumble match but has no feud, and thus is run up is a tad dull. Killing Snitsky is always a bonus though.
Please don't start a feud between Victoria and Maria. That would be terrible in all honesty, since Maria can't wrestle to save her life and is an annoying character. Just job her out to Vicky and have her be done with
Solid match up next and it's just so obvious that you are short of credible tag teams, which is why you are pushing Burke/Benjamin into the mix so quickly. I'm a little disappointed to see Haas get jobbed out, since he has been looking strong lately, but I guess he's still got the belt.
Nice little plug for SmackDown. Ha ha. The Hardys reuniting is a first for this thread, right? Just please keep it as a special thing and don't turn them back into a full-time tag team again like certain ... other bookers have unfortunately done.
Ah, I remember the days when you were pushing Matt Striker and Test to the moon. Both men were possible contenders for the Intercontinental title, and now they're lowly jobbers. **Sigh** Oh well. Anyway, good momentum for Van Dam heading into the Rumble, where he will obviously lose.
Planting the seeds of The Undertaker's return already? I expect Umaga to completely dominate in the Rumble match until 'Taker returns in some capacity and costs him the match. The WrestleMania feud I am MOST looking forward to at least point. I wonder why
Okay, you've got me hooked and just who the hell this mystery person actually is that Randy keeps talking to. It could be his dad, but that wouldn't really be very big. Estrada/'Mags are out of the picture since tagging last week. Edge would be lame, since he should be concentrating on his own title match. Maybe someone close to Van Dam? Fonzie? I would mark if it was Foley and we got RVD/Foley at WM. I'm speculating though.
See, I think this is why you are having a lot of trouble with your tag division, KOP. You keep building up these new teams {Highlanders, Cryme Tyme, FBI etc.} and after losing their title shots, they become jobbers. It's what the WWE do in real life and it's a terrible tactic. Makes the division a joke in all honesty. Really both MNM and CT should be in the Rumble to maintain some semblance of strength.
Hunter has been doing well in this thread putting over better talent like RVD and Cena, and I hope to god he loses the Rumble. People call 'Taker stale? Get a load of this guy
I think Haas probably should have won his match, rather than Flair. It doesn't look like you have any great plans for Naitch, so it doesn't really matter. Good evening of the score though.
Jericho is alllllll awesome and needs to make Michaels his bitch for the second straight time this week. Sadly I can see him failing and HBK evening the score. This is a refreshing feud heading into the Rumble, as both men are credible threats and actually have something to do.
This calibre of Main Event should
always be the Main Event in my opinion. "Classic" is the only word that should be used whenever these two are in the same ring. Gutted that Y2J didn't beat the male stripper, but it evens the score. Could we possibly see the Rubber Match in the future? I hope so.
Good ending to the show with Orton's party. Cowboy Bob and Edge joining in the lovefest effectively rule them out of being on the other end of the phone, but I think that Heyman could have been it. Did Orton recruit Paul E. to screw RVD and it has backfired? Lol, I didn't think you would bring ECW back this early, KOP, but it seems like a nice move. Hopefully you don't just turn it into the "Hardcore" show, as that would be lame.

KOP's SmackDown Feedback
This is much,
much better stuff from JBL. Last week he was a very dull General Manager, but this time he actually gets to do something. Firing Long was the right way to go. It prevents you from just doing a carbon copy of the current WWE angle and it frees JBL up for some high calibre heel GM action.
Yay for Punk still winning. The Anaconda Vise definately owns the GTS, so use that more plz.
Two interviews from Mark Henry and MVP then. I think Henry could be like Umaga come the Rumble and dominate. However, even though he has been in title contention before, I wouldn't be surprised to see you job him out
MVP, much like Cena earlier, is in severe need of a feud, and hopefully the RR goes some way to establishing that.
Much like on Raw, you don't really have alot of credible teams to face Londrick, which appears to be why you are making the CW Champion a tag team threat. No ratings for Noble losing, but the one year anniversary title defense next week should be great. Hopefully Jamie's reign continues.
Lol @ The Ladies Man. I really don't like this new gimmick for Dykstra. He seems like a cheap knock off of Val Venis. I'm all for his push though.
Well at least Chavo isn't as pathetic as he was last week against Kane. He and Kennedy should have a quality match with The Hardys, although Chavito will most likely end up getting squashed.
Damn right Porter is now in the Rumble. Miz is a jobber for life and MVP is a World Champion in the making. I mark for him badly.
There's been a lot of guys in both of these recaps just saying why they're going to win the Rumble. Seems a tad unimaginative if you ask me. Batista is the next in line. He won't be winning the RR, but I think we could see him establish a WretleMania feud.
NOOOOOOOO~!!! YOU JUST JOBBED REGAL~!!!! That's pretty offenseive, KOP. Not only is he English like me, but he's alllll awesome
I'm going to bash you on MSN for this, boy
Rey had better not win the Rumble either.
Good Main Event between Chavo/Kennedy and The Hardys. Nice to see the U.S/IC belts getting a high place on the card. No real surprise to see Chavo take the fall, since he was the jobber of the bunch unfortunately. It was also unsurprising that Matt got the pin, since he is being built on a roll heading into his U.S title match at the Rumble, where he will probably lose. I hope all four of these guys are still in the Rumble Match itself though.
Good way to finish the show with the contract signing. I can't really see a way that Angle will say "I Quit", but he must in the end, seeing as Edge will go into WrestleMania as Champion. It doesn't seem like Angle to turn his back on his opponent like that, as he usually the one doing the attacking. Nice little parallel with Edge suplexing Angle through the table. This has been a really nice feud thus far, I just hope this kind of attack by Edge isn't hinting at Angle regaining the belt. He was a little stale as the face champ in this thread in all honesty.
Overall two very nice recaps, KOP. My main complaint is that there was a lot of guys simply hyping how much they were going to win the Rumble. Also, I missed Carlito Other than that, good work
