WARRIOR!
Hello all you Creachites, and welcome to this edition of Creach's Thoughts! It's been a while since I last wrote, about a week or so, and summer is under way after the best two semesters of school I've had in four years. Let's get to it.
First of all, I have begun working on one of my special columns, The InVasion Angle Done Right edition. I'm having some trouble in the way I'm writing it- I feel like I'm leaving a lot out and a lot to be desired, but the bottom line is that with only a few basic angles I've booked my way through Survivor Series with ease and could keep the angle going another year. Truthfully, my ideas would only work if Vince actually had the grapefruits he claims to and was willing to spend the billions needed to make this work.
I called Ric Flair in before SummerSlam, and had the nWo at No Mercy. Plus, I had several interpromotional matches very early on. All of these things are because a) I lived through the real failed InVasion and b) Vince could have called Flair and the nWo back earlier all along, but just waited until he was desperate and c) what kind of an InVasion angle would it be without interpromotional matches? My only problem is that I have yet to incorporate Rob Van Dam, the only true success story of the InVasion, in anything, mainly because ECW has played NO PART what so ever. Never fear though- I am going to book an alternate storyline in which ECW is brought in, in case my WCW-alone InVasion were to begin failing.
My point is that while it took my ONE HOUR to book MONTHS of WWF TV and would take me just about 30 MINUTES to book the back up plan with ECW, the WWF couldn't do it with months in advance. They booked the whole damn thing on the fly and had no idea what they were doing or where they were going with it all. I mean, if it only takes an hour and a half to have booked from KotR to Survivor Series along with a Plan B, how come the writers couldn't have done it on a plane ride or in a car in between shows, or hell, AT King of the Ring period? I mean I had a basic back bone with major angles very quickly, and that's all you really need to sell a wrestling show. The mid-card and making of new stars could be filled in at a later date, once they can determine who is going to work, and who is not. Oh well. Vince's loss. All I know is that by now, he could have made back the money he gave up to get Flair and the nWo at the last minute. Instead, he's watching his promotion go down the toilet.
Anyway...school's out, summer's on, and things are moving along nicely. I'm accomplishing my video game goals, which basically means I'm completing all the PlayStation 2 games I didn't get a chance to play while in school. I'm also having a great time on Ghost Recon, and in the UWF.
As you know, I came out of retirement from e-wrestling to put Jeremy Diaz in his place. And in my last Thought, I mentioned there being no way I would lose Sunday. I was right. "FreakDawg" Michael Mathers, the owner of the UWF, indeed put me over ever other main eventer he had Sunday night, and gave me the UWF ball. So I'm now a nine tme World Champion of E-Wrestling, and have plenty of great angles, matches, and roleplays which will carry me to the end of my career.
Jack Duncan on the other hand, is not fairing so well. But is he ever? I put him over at the Pay-Per-View for the HardKore Title, but I don't know if it will last. He could really care less and still believes he is being screwed regardless of all the things Dawg is providing him, and no one the UWF believes in him anyway. It's a lost cause. Fortunately, Pimp Industries is on the way, so he can go back to being the face jobber of the group and fade into obscurity, far, far away from any real push and work.
On a positive note about Jack, I've located Inphino Blitz in an angle-based pureso e-promotion. Jack plans on joining, and while fulfilling his jobbing duties in the UWF, running an angle with Blitz which will hopefully see him get his Meltdown Brawl win back. I might join this promotion as well along with the UWF, and pursure the PURE Tag Team Championship with Jack and defnitely the PURE Jr. Heavyweight Title. This promotion could serve as the storyline for my "Japanese" tours as it is set totally in Japan, and could give me my illusion lightweight championship run. We'll see what happenes. It could be interesting.
The WWE is becoming even more desperate to spike the ratings, as four shows in a row they have blown off their four biggest angles in four big main events with four clean, face victories. Well, HHH-Hogan wasn't exactly a big angle, but they definitely had a rematch coming, and giving HHH the obvious rematch win over Hogan on free TV was no doubt a plea for ratings. I really don't know what to say about the WWE right now except that they need to push Edge, Booker T, RVD, Benoit, Eddy, Jericho, and Angle hard and build the World Title scene around them this summer and fall, while HHH, Austin, Taker, and Hogan can all mix it up in their own ways. Let the nWo break up, push Nash and Shawn big time for the LAST time, and begin slowly letting the new generation of superstars, your Brocks and your Randy Ortons, your Low Ki's and your AJ Styles, take over the low and midcard. Wrestling is evolving, Crash TV is dead, and is time to move on to an era where big men can fly with ease and the punch is replaced by the stiff kick. It pains me to say it, but even the very criteria by which a good match is judged is evolving, but like it or not, the WWE must evolve to or face extinction.
Just as e-wrestling is evolving from script format to novel former, professional wrestling is evolving as well. What can I say? Those you think Darwin is wrong, are IDIOTS.
