Hells Bells....I go away for a little holiday and the whole WWE has been turned upside down. No time to mess. In This Very Ring....

I had a great holiday, thanks for asking. Weather was great, food was cool and the mini golf was awesome. Now that's out of the way, on to the wrestling. Oh one more thing. Welcome back to the net Milky.

Where to start? So much has happened in the last few weeks. ECW's incredible 'One Night Stand'. Top line drafts here there and everywhere and a real good WWE PPV. Only one place I can start really. Jericho. Jezza's heel turn seems to be in full flight now, save for that almost face turning remark me made about Kevin Nash tearing his quad answering his phone. Now that my friends was funny. I would of said that now HHH had finished with Batista, Y2J would have been the next logical choice for the Animal apart from two things now. 'Tista's jump to SmackDown and the absolute overflowing of top guys on Raw. Jeeze. I thought the brand shake up was going to even things out a bit. Raw is stacked with top guys now like Angle, HBK, Cena(yeah, not quite in the same league I know but he is the World Champ)HHH, Big Show, Kane, Austin and the Rock(He is still listed on WWE.com as a Raw guy) it really will be a struggle for Jezza, or any upper mid card guy to make it to the top. As much as I don't like The Edge, he has to be pissed at the amount of top guys that have come over. The Edge was in the middle of a decent push. Mr. Money In The Bank looked to be on his way to a World Title run. Until he ran in to a Big Red roadblock at the PPV. Odd booking that. Still, I'm sure that Jericho will continue to shine every week on Raw and who knows, the fresh faces might bring out even more from Y2J and gear him up for another world title run. I hope....

Some one who did do well out of the Draft was Christian. Now Captain Charisma is on SmackDown, away from the top guy heavy Raw he will be able to maintain his recent run up to main event standing without to much fuss. With the Undertaker being the only real established star on that brand the Capt. should be able to use his abilities and natural, ahem, charisma to have a decent run at the World Title. Hell, if SmackDown can make a believable-ish champ out of Bradshaw then CC must be a lock. The only real possible setback I can see is if 'The Powers That Be' pull the trigger on an early face turn. Yes, some of the fans already cheer and most more would probably get behind a good Christian, but It really isn't necessary. Yet. Look what happened when they turned the Rand too early and look how Batista got over big with the slow burn approach. Just let Christian be Christian for now, let him be his cocky Peeps loving self, let him continue to cut great promos and continue to let him shine on TV by having great match ups with all the fresh grapplers that await him in his new home. The Captain has come a real long way since they days of Hissy fit Christian and DDP's protégé and in my opinion and in the opinion of most the UK(CC was cheered over here during the live Raw while Batista was booed)Christian's star looks set to shine real bright. And do you know why? Cos that's how he rolls.

After (only just)seeing the ECW PPV, it's plain to see why the group went out of business. As we all know, Paul E isn't the greatest when it comes to doing sums and It was plain for all to see as he turned to The Edge on live TV and said that he had two words for The Edge and they were Matt freakin' Hardy. Um, right.

So RVD has found his vocabulary and is back on Raw. And it looks like he is going after the Intercontinental Belt. Again. Further evidence that Raw is top heavy that a guy with Van Dam's outstanding ability not to mention different style from nearly every other grappler on the roster has to go back after a title that he's held 5674754 times already. Its like a disease. I shall call it Jerichoitis. Van Dam should be World title bound. The problem is, so should half the Raw roster now. The difference is, unlike half the Roster, Van Dam hasn't been over pushed and thrust down our throats. Hopefully this IC stop is just short term before the Whole F'N Show heads towards the World F'N Title. Now that would be awesome.

It's official. Kurt Angle could carry a broom to a decent match! The Olympic Gold Medallist actually dragged a great bout out of Mr. Man Boobs himself Ric Flair. I loved the way that Flair was doing the heel tactics yet was clearly the fan fave and Kurt by and large wrestled a straight wrestling babyface style yet was the heel. Flair even took the Germans, sorta. But as great as the match was it didn't even come close to the awesomeness of the whoo-off that Angle and Ric had. Classic stuff. altogether now WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

you know what? I always wondered what happened to Duke The Dumpster Droese's ring attire. And now I know. The Mexicools use it. Awful awful outfits, silly silly name, very talented and a nice entrance(not as cool as MNM's though. And Nitro is gonna be a big star in the future. You heard it hear first) all means that after a month Velocity it is. Unless the Rock comes back to whoop Juvi for ripping him off. Either way the three Luchadores will be shown the same amount of respect that all cruisers get. none.

No one works a crowd like Hulk Hogan. Even crowd hogging HBK can't compete with the master of crowd manipulation. Cena, probably one of the most over guys in the entire Fed and current mega pushee couldn't get any fan time. J.R said that Cena left the ring during the pose down out of respect. Because no one was interested in him or management told him to leave early so it didn't show Cena up as an inferior Sports Entertainer(Same reason Christian was drafted?)more like. Nobody does it better than the Immortal one.

Just when it looked like the WWE was going to have a decent feud with no silly storyline added to it they go and add a 'twist' to the classic Eddie Vs Rey Rey feud. So now we have Rey Rey's family brought in to it. Like that's worked before. DDP, Taker and the whole stalker angle was a royal bomb. Kane and Taker was a confusing family tree that included Paul Bearer that by the time of payoff it had totally lost any of the little momentum it had. Bossman and Big Show was just plain disturbing big time and the Eddie Rey situation could be going down the same path as Kurt Angle Sex offender. Just plain daft with no real need. Lets hope that either Rey and Eddie can pull it off or that the 'Powers That Be' just quietly dropped.

Why is Michelle McCool the second best female wrestler on the roster? Whoever has been training her deserves some credit as I have seen veteran women wrestlers who have years of grappling under their belt blow spot after spot each week. If McCool continues this way then we could have another Trish style success story here.

I know it's been a while and you may have forgotten but here is a reminder for you all of how to reach me.
