Dear Vince,
I just got done watching Raw and there are a few things I�d like to get off my mind. I�d like to talk to you about this whole invasion angle. First Id like to say I admire you for recognizing that the whole thing was going no where fast, and doing something to fix it before it got any worse. I don�t know who came up with it but throwing ECW into the mix was a stroke of genius. There�s one thing I don�t understand though, and that is this whole Austin thing. First of all please know that I like Austin, I do. Not as much as most people, he�s not one of my favorites, but I do like him. However, is it really your intention to have us believe that without him, the WWF has no chance of withstanding the invasion? I mean really, the WWF guys are outnumbered 2 to 1, getting their asses handed to them, but all it takes is for good ole Stone Cold to show up and drop a few stunners and the WWF is back on top. Sure, it makes Austin look great, but it makes the rest of your guys look weak, like they�re nothing without him. I gotta tell you Vince, I think that�s a grave injustice to the rest of the guys. You�ve got talent like Undertaker, Kane, Jericho, Angle, the Hardys, Edge and Christian, Xpac, the Hollys, Spike, Test, but yet you�re running around on Raw moaning about Stone Cold not being there. Shame on you Vince, if the year 2000 taught you anything it should have been that as much as the fans love Austin, the WWF doesn�t need him to be successful. Austin isn�t your only superstar Vince, you�ve got a whole locker room full of talented, popular wrestlers, wake up and show them a little respect.
While we�re talking about popular talented wrestlers let me turn my rambling to Xpac. Contrary to his crowd response, you should know Vince, that Xpac does have fans out there. And as one of his biggest fans can I just say, �YOUR MISSING THE BOAT HERE VINCE�. Sean Waltman, without a doubt, is one of your most underrated superstars. Sure he�s not the best on the mic but he's not the worst either. There are guys who are worse who get more air time than him (can you say Chris Benoit? I�ll spare you and not get off on THAT tangent). Xpac�s only crime? He got over TOO good as a heel and now the fans truly hate him instead of loving to hate him. They�re too busy chanting Xpac sucks to take notice of the excellent matches he�s had. He�s a potential shooting star Vince, all he needs is the right angle and a little practice on the mic to propel him straight to the top.
Sincerely,
Devoted Xpac Fan |
