Jericho's Big Night! And Vote for Daniel Puder!
So it turned out that on Monday night, Vince McMahon came out and declared that there would be no Battle Royal for the title. Instead the winner would go on to face HHH for the championship match. And he even threw some insults in the way of Steven Richards (who has not been doing well lately, especially after a really bad and boring loss to Tyson Tomko a few PPVs ago). Well Benoit and Edge would go on to replicate the whole Bret Hart/Lex Luger tie of the Royal Rumble back in '94, and go on to face HHH in a triple thread champion ship match at the end of the night. Steven Richards didnt do that badly for himself, making it towards the end of the Battle Royal match. Of course at the end, the triple threat was also a tie and there was no resolution to the whole thing.
Well, I dont have so much of a problem of McMahon not making it a Battle Royal for the championship. You knew it would probably come down to these three guys (Edge, Benoit and HHH) at the end anyway, so whether you get it at the end of the Battle Royal, or as a separate main event doesnt really matter. However, I am tired of all three of them. Who else thinks that even though Benoit can wrestle better than most anyone, he lacks the charisma for really interesting TV? And that Edge was a whole lot more fun to watch back in his goofy RECK days when he made fun of Kurt? And HHH has just had the title for too long?
Well the good news is this coming Monday, its finally time for Jericho to step up and be GM. He hasnt been in the main event picture in a while (a few years I think since he was the first undisputed champion) but if Maven can get himself a title shot and come close to winning, so can Jericho. And I think Jericho will make Monday's RAW a lot of fun. He's got the charisma, the sense of humor, and the wrestling to make a good run for the title.
And of course this week we saw Daniel Puder stay in the Tough Enough competition. They're advertising a shoot boxing match for the next PPV between the final 2 Tough Enough contestants, so head over to the Tough Enough website and vote for Daniel Puder again! If he can make it to the next round, I'm sure he will demolish whoever else is put in a shoot fight with him. And thats something I want to see.
