The Blazer's Edge

Wow...I've actually managed to turn out another column in
the space of one day...whew...well, Scotty never runs out
of ideas, and so daily, semi daily, what-have-you, The
Blazer's Edge will always knock yo' ass down for the
one...two...three.
(and remember kiddies, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, is
still good after four viewings...write that down...it's a
tip)

05-22-99: World Wrestling Federation:
I have to give the poys the pops over at Titan
Towers...their saturday morning program (at least the
segments I saw) could almost be mistaken for WCW, save
the differant faces. In fact, a few weeks ago, the
Undertaker/Wight match was on, and the baseball bat which
was broken over Wight's head was nowhere to be
seen...well, at least WWF saw the potential lawsuits from
angry parents there...as soon as some dumb kid smacked
his friend with a baseball bat, his parents would blame
Vinny. In any event, the real object of my ramblings
today was to address the Hardy Boyz...I mentioned
something about Indy-League feds in my last column, and
so as a follow up, I thought it might be worth mentioning
that I happened to flip on channel six this morning
(public access) and catch a match with the Hardy Boyz in
it...damn, these guys are just too much. Like I said in
the last edition, cruiserweight competition is where it's
at...too bad neither of the Hardys got the win in this
four corners match. Also taking part in the antics were
Omega Wrestling cruiserweight champion Chris York and
monster heel, Joey Matthews. Mathews and York were good,
and I've seen them wrestle many times before, but they
couldn't touch the Hardys. Don't get me wrong, the two
Indy-League stars were great, but neither of them really
went on the fly the way The Hardy Boyz did. See, this is
why they're so under appreciated in the WWF. Titan slaps
some street colthes on them, throws in a free bird, and
that's their push. Now the Hardys might have needed to be
repackaged, but as far as I could tell, there was nothing
wrong with them. Anyway, just as an anfter thought, this
push with the Hardy Boyz will probably result in
Christain and Edge (among others) getting some
signifigantly better in-ring exposure. We can only hope.

05-22-99: World Championship Wrestling:
Is it just me, or does WCW hit the overkill mark on hours
a week? If we're talking about WCW style, I can only
endure so much. If the WCW wants to play it smart, they
need to stop worrying about making fun of the WWF. Now I
didn't actually see them doing this on Saturday Night,
but still. Think about this: WCW moves Nitro to tuesday,
ditches Thunder, citing the probable Smackdown debut, and
concentrates on wrestling that is ONLY WCW. With the WWF
left to Monday and Thursday, the wrestling marks will
come a'flockin to their TVs if WCW decides to go at it on
seperate nights. Forget the rating wars, forget trying to
imitate the federation on top, do it on seperate nights.
If you can get the big talent onto all of your shows,
you'll eat up the ratings, not have to worry about who
did what first, and most importantly, it'll be WCW
again...the way they were when they were on top. I'm sure
this would free up an awful lot of pent up aggression.
I'd sure like to see what sort of storylines WCW can turn
out without worrying about the WWF reaction. Think about
it Teddy Boy...
<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>
Well, that's it for now. Maybe next time, I can get
around to some ECW EXTREME OPINIONS...until then...
"Wrestling fans need a superhero, and by golly, I'm
going to give them one! WOOOOO!"
