Well ladies and gents, its looks like the Rant is back for another week. And it looks like I'm back on an active roster for the time being. But its been an interesting week for what is now the HWF, new ownership . . . an interesting little tournament (I guess that's what you would call it, but still the same cast of wacky characters. Onto the show, so lets hug it out bitches!!!
FIRST THING FIRST
Now that we are no longer apart or employed by the OTB, but are all now employed by Sean Hudson and the HWF. Now I know that this will be another fresh start here, and will take some time. So like I said last week everyone, be paitient and it will come. Believe me, it will come. And that's all I have for the opening part, just isn't much goings on right now.
HWF REPORT CARD
Its report card time everyone, and lets see who my two students are today. Hmmm . . . . let me rummage around in this file cabinet . . . . . . . OH MY look who we have here, none other than my team's so called Captian.
Willie Bard
Ahhh Mr. Bard, this man has muched improved over the last month here. He didn't have what it took to beat out Summer, but is showing his determination now in the HWF. Not knowing the outcome of tonight yet, Mr. Bard put up a very strong fight this week against Mr. Cohln. So what is my grade for Bard . . .
Grade: B+
Why: Bard isn't doing bad at all, but isn't doing the best to be awarded with an "A" yet either. He is well on his way to challenging Bomber and Summer for their top spots here.
Deamon Cohln
This man is another guy just at that part in the ladder where he is above a lot of people, just not to the top yet. He has had a small drop off in what he has been doing in my views, but still has enough to be a good US Champion in the HWF. He also put up a good fight against Bard this week, and we will have to see what happens tomorrow night.
Grade: B
Why: Great talent, just hasn't really tapped into yet.
RALSTON'S QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Alright I gave everyone a question to answer this past week, and it was "Who is the most under-rated wrestler on the WWE Roster?" So lets see the nice little responses, and don't worry people I won't release any names. But I will critique your choice . . . HAHA.
First one up . . . . .
-Shelton Benjamin
-For someone who has been in the WWE for so long, he hasn't done as much as he could have done. I mean, Benjamin gets occasional pushes that usually lead to an IC Title win. But, right after he loses it, he's right back down to the mid card.
"I'm gonna agree big time with this one, Shelton is the most athletic guy on the roster. He has the talent to be one of the best, sure needs a little mic work. But he should be at the top if not now real soon."
-Chris Benoit
-Even though he's already won the World Title, immediately after losing it, he has done nothing since. I know he's on break or vacation or whatever, but ever since losing the title he hasn't had any storylines, he hasn't done anything. Except for maybe the overdone rivalry between him and Booker T. But Benoit needs to be more involved.
"I would love to really agree with this, and Benoit is one of the best to ever step into the ring. But he is an aging veteran, who should start to put guys over to help the future of the WWE. He put on one hell of a match with Finlay, and will be back soon from his hiatus to be with his wife and to not burn himself out."
-Scotty 2 Hotty
-Scotty's been in the WWE for some 13 years now and though he was part of a few great tag teams, he's still being held back. I understand he had to take time off for neck surgery and that Rikishi is no longer with the WWE, but that doesn't change the fact that he's being used as a jobber. He deserves a push, big time! Someone needs to light up the cruiserweight division--Gregory Helms has held the title far too long, and I'll be damned if they keep grouping Scotty with "SmackDown!'s #1 Announcer". We've barely even seen Scotty on SD! since he was almost always put on Velocity. Scotty deserves a good storyline, but it looks like their giving all of those to men that wear dresses…
"You know, seeing that someone really feels serious about this makes me feel proud that I have a better opinion about this subject. NEXT!!!!
-Stacy Keibler
-Her contract is still up. Stacy Keibler. She never gets anything. I mean, she only won three single matches in her whole WWE career, now that is just messed up. You see Trish, and she almost wins every week, as well as that Women's Championship, but when you look at Stacy, she has nothing and is getting beat up by Randy Orton, Scott Steiner, Test, ETC.
I understand that those are storylines, but she needs some better things to go along with. Those just SUCK compared to what Trish and Mickie get.
She was also suppose to win the Women's Championship match at Taboo Tuesday in that Battle Royal for the belt. But, her being to kind and sweet, she that Trish could have it. Vince should've insisted on giving it to her, but he thought Trish was the better way to go.
Stacy has more talent than you think. I've seen her training in some pictures, and seen what she did in WCW, that would varify from Sunset Flip Pins, Crossbodies, Crossbodies from the top rope, Handspring elbows, and more. And in WWE, she does the usual Boot Choke, and Spinning Heel Kick.
Boo.
So, yes. This is why Stacy is the most underrated superstar in the WWE, and yes, her contract ends in July, but hasn't ended yet, so she counts.
"She's eye candy, and that's all she will ever be . . . Sorry."
Well folks that wraps up the Question of the Week, for this week. Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings with my responses to it.
REAL LIFE SPECTRUM
Well I didn't watch RAW or ECW this week, cause it was the Mid-Summer Classic. And boy did the Home Run Derby excite me for the most boring All Star Game ever.
The All-Star game in any sport, shouldn't mean anything. Its an exhibition game for a damn reason. It doesn't count Bud Selig. So this now means that a team with a worse record from the AL will have home field advantage over a NL team with a better record. This is the dumbest thing in the world, and Joe Buck continues to suck up to baseball by trying to sell it last night.
Another thing to help the All-Star game, is to have it where some of the All-Star pitchers do not pitch that Sunday before the game. The Starting Pitchers who make the All Star team should rest that Sunday to entertain the fans who would want to see them play. Not some replacement for them.
Well I just read the RAW and ECW results, sounds like another week of crappy sports entertainment . . . . OH JOY JOY JOY!!!!!!
BUT AT LEAST FINLAY WILL WIN THE US TITLE ON SMACKDOWN THIS WEEK, SORRY TO SPOIL IT FOR SOME OF YOU GUYS!!!!!
