Smack Down! Discussion: Batista Contract Signing

I don’t think that posting this is posting over a discussion, but if it is then will someone please tell me?  anyway… on tonight’s eppisode of Smack Down! we have a contract signing for batista’s chance at the WHC at NOC, and from what I understand, we might have a confrontation between Show and Henry…

What World Title Is The Most Prestigious in Wrestling Today?

Being a wrestling historian, I’ve researched the history of the most prominent world titles. However, looking at the titles today, the current status of the championships are up for debate.

Ring of Honor World Championship: Ring of Honor has been the true standard bearer of true professional wrestling. The matches are always top notch and the title reigns and switches are always meaningful. Samoa Joe, Austin Aries, CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Homicide, Nigel McGuinness: they have worked hard to make the ROH Title a true world title.

Even though Cena’s long title reign brought a lot of credibility to the title, I could argue Cena’s dominance as a negative. His title reign did a lot to bury the roster instead of making the roster look compeitive. I like Orton as champ, but he is being booked to be another transitional champion in my eyes.

The World Heavyweight Championship has gone through so many title changes, there is a notion that the belt is cursed. The holders have had their injuries; Taker’s muscle tear, Edge’s torn pec, Kennedy’s tricep when he was supposed to get the belt. Also, having Great Khali hold any belt in my eyes devalues it.

The TNA World Championship: What can you say about this belt? Its kinda like a comedy belt. This title will be defended in a tag match at Genesis. Reminds me of when David Arquette won the belt in WCW. TNA has booked the top prize to be a joke in my opinion. Ref bumps, constant interference, belt being won in matches where no one has to get pinned.

The NWA World Title: This title has taken a hit in value ever since WCW left the NWA and Shane Douglas threw it down in ECW. TNA helped it some, but how prestigious can a belt be when you don’t know when the title is being defended and you can’t see it.

So, what World Championship should be considered the top prize in pro wrestling.
My opinion: Sorry to the WWE Championship, but the Ring of Honor World Championship is the top prize in wrestling.

Let the debate begin!!!

Next Bad Champions

Raw = Snitsky
Smackdown = Mark Henry
ECW = Big Daddy V

Any of them would suck as Champ. God help us all if anyone of them would win.

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!

Oh my god, this story is totally true! (crosses fingers)

On the 16th of July, a 5,104,223-CAR PILEUP KILLED THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF DALLAS, TEXAS, and FORT WORTH, TEXAS!!! LEX, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE: I just lied as filler for my return to posting on the blog. Lex is very much alive, and I got this headline from The Onion tabloid website/”newspaper”. I thought it would be humorous because Lex is still alive, and he lives in Texas. Honestly, this lie was so intriguing it made me subscribe via e-mail:P

But something still applies to this post title, and SmackDown! should pay attention to this picture below:

This is the WWE’s version of the “Madden Curse”, as Louie Dee puts it, with every recent owner of the World Heavyweight Title being injured and immediately replaced with someone else in the form of a clusterfu*k battle royal, or a gimmick match we know the end result of 3 days in advance because it’s taped in the first place… This is getting sad. Sad… yet unavoidable? The only solution it seems is to retire the accursed belt, imported from the now dead WCW, and introduce their new crown jewel in the form of a redesigned belt. I guess the ashes of WCW still plague the gold with failure like the WWF Attitude Era plagues the U.S. title with success to it’s wearer. They could go E.T. on us, and just bury the belt in a landfill in California. Hell, just give it to the worst superstars whose contracts are up for renewal, and eliminate them while you have a chance (i.e., Viscera). (By the way, does anyone else think Big Daddy V is Vis’s brother or something? Last night, I confused V for Vis (slight cough because of bad pun)…)
Whew, all this curse talk caused me to look for signs on SvR cases:

(2nd) WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW: Vincent Kennedy McMahon, currently hated by the members of the IWC for fake death stunt.

(3rd) WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006: Batista and John Cena, both champions, both presently hated by IWC members.

(Winner) WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2007: Triple H, Rey Mysterio, Batista, John Cena, and Torrie Wilson, 2 injured.

So in conclusion, be careful, members of SmackDown! As you roam the hills of mediocrity, do not find yourself in the middle of even the slightest title push ,or you will end up like the poor souls above…

A Great Day To Be An Indian.

As Don West would say ‘unbelievable’.It’s an emotional moment for me and it came at an unexpected time.I’m an old school wrestling fan.I usually want people to win the Heavyweight Championship only after they’ve won the tier 2 and tier 3 titles.As a wrestling fan I could’nt be more surprised and shocked.Clearly,clearly -there are many more deserving individuals who should have held that title.

But for someone who grew up in India and lived amongst a billion people,I could’nt be more thrilled than to see The Great Khali as the new World Heavyweight Champion.The former practitioner of the ‘Pehlwani’ style and a cop by profession now holds the richest prize in prowrestling.The fact that he’s an Indian pays a huge tribute to the other former Indian wrestlers (who unlike Khali were brilliant wrestlers)like DARA SINGH and THE GREAT GAMA.

The stone cutter has come a long way from being a poverty stricken kid to becoming World Champion.It’s irrelevant how long he’s the champion ,I’m damn happy that he is.Rey Mysterio showed the entire world that a small man could do it.Khali has shown that a big Indian can also do it.This is your day Dalip Singh Rana,savor it while it lasts.

It’s Official

WWE.com is reporting that The Great Khali won a 20-man battle royal to win the World Heavyweight Championship. There will be a Batista vs. Kane match later in the night to determine who will face Khali for the Championship at The Great American Bash this Sunday. I don’t like the decision. What are yall’s thoughts?
