As I was saying earlier the WWE is crap and those who think otherwise are living in serious denial. I was reminded of this just last night when I accidentally tuned into the Friday night edition of SMACKDOWN! I never have watched an entire episode of SMACKDOWN and this was no exception although I did watch about an hour and a half. While watching it, I remembered why I never watched it growing up...my dad didn't want me to suffer so he forbid me from watching it. I gained a deeper sense of pity for the people I knew growing up who's parents didn't care what they did. That's why they're screwed up today. Vince McMahan is the devil incarnate.
Anydangway, there were many times during the show that I wanted to laugh out loud, not because of any witty dialogue mostly because the dialogue makes this website look like pulitzer prize winning material. I think we all can admit--and by all I mean all of you readers out there which means only myself--that that's pretty sad. Especially since my use of parenthetical information as well as information placed after dashes is wildly inconsistent and I'm too lazy to look up what the proper usage is. Also I tend to ramble, I'm not sure if you (i.e, I) noticed or not. Anyways, in addition to crappy scripting and guys who use too much baby oil, the coreographed fight sequences were only slightly more than noticibly fake. For examble an elbow drop consists of landing with your armpit on the opponent's face. Hitting somebody in the face is done with your forearm, and when you do a backflip and land on somebody you don't actually knee them in the abs you actually land in a somewhat poorly formed pushup position. "But what about the blood that some people actually have coming out of their face from time to time," some who still believe in the magic of crappy public theatrics would ask. Have you (I) ever heard of the concept of "taking one for the team". Well occasionally these overgrown angst filled teenagers men will have to actually get hit to actually make it believable. Oh sure Mick Foley had some crap happen to him but that's when faking it goes horribly wrong. Actually they use tiny razor blades and, when they grab their face after being hit, actually cut themselves.
Anyways, I could go on and on about the horribly scripted announcement by Melina as she pressed charges against Batista for giving into her sexual temptations and saying it was sexual harrassment and played herself off as a victim. Or the really crappy endings to the fight that Booker T was supposed to do for the best of seven title but due to an "injury" had some other guy fight for him and due to Booker T's chick getting in the ring cost him the title thus letting Chris Benoit progress further into the championship matches. In case you (I) just happen to wonder why I can still remember these people's names it's because I recognize most of them from being forced to play SMACKDOWN on Playstation against a friend of mine growing up. The other gay ending was with Batista and Rey Mysterio against Mercury, Nitro, and Milena. Mysterio basically got owned but miraculously, due to clever scripting which wasn't ridiculously predictable, tagged Batista. Batista "beats" the crap out of Nitro and Mercury but in the process bumps into the referee which apparently knocked the referee out cold after being grazed on the side of his head. After pinning Nitro--who apparently plagiarized his name from American Gladiators--Mark Henry, The Strongest Man in the World (according to GOD ONLY KNOWS WHO!! Probably the head writer for this crap), drops Batista once, dropping Batista's strength through the floor. Nitro crawls over and lays down on Batista. Miraculously the referee only sees this and awards the match to M.N.M! Uh, oh! Plot twist! Milena hired Mark Henry to come out and do that! Didn't see that one coming! Oh sure when Booker T's "queen" (it's a woman, not a gay guy for those who don't watch and are wondering why it's in quotations) interferes, the match goes to his opponent, but oh, how convenient that the referee is "knocked out" during that whole segment.
Anyways, I'm surprised that anybody actually watches this stuff and it's even more amazing how many actually swear on their life that it's real. It's amazing that this junk is still on the air. A class of third graders could come up with more convincing script material. AAAUGH!! That crap is retarded! Did I mention that the entire WWE is crap and SMACKDOWN is it's crowning achievement of stupidity? Oh well. I guess it's no surprise that it's only shown on UPN.
