THE WRINGER REVIEW – COVERING NOVEMBER 20 THROUGH NOVEMBER 26, 2006

RAW WRINGERS – NOVEMBER 20, 2006

Okay, did Shawn really forget that it was the Survivor Series, and not the Royal Rumble, coming up on Sunday?  And might that be a result of WWE having “too many” pay-per-views in the next five weeks?

Is MVP really starting to look like a roller derby player, with all of those similar-but- different colored outfits?

How many pictures do those “photographers” need of Melina and Nitro coming down WWE ramps?!

Couldn’t they bottle Melina’s scream, and sell it as kind of an odd Halloween practical joke?

What kind of spot(s) did we miss because the supports broke on the 12-foot ladder?

Did JR add two words inadvertently to his “who’s she sucking up to?” comment regarding Lita getting all the great (for her) match stips the last few weeks?

Did Lita forget she broke her neck filming a television episode, and not wrestling?

ECW WRINGERS – NOVEMBER 21, 2006

When Tazz said that it had “been a while” since they had had an extreme rules match, didn’t you wrack your brain and go…”Yeah, he’s right!”

Wasn’t it kind of stupid when Joey said, “The Hardy’s will reunite this Sunday at the Survivor Series”…after they had just reunited on ECW?!

TNA WRINGERS – NOVEMBER 23, 2006

How odd is it to have a company champion that not only doesn’t speak for himself, but just doesn’t speak…at all?

Is anyone else disappointed that they’re using the “repelling gimmick” with Sting again, and not just for the reason that it’s been done, and better, before in WCW?

Does Christopher Daniels look like Neo from The Matrix movies in that coat & specs, or what?

Don’t you just love the “unplanned” interruptions in wrestling, complete with music and lighting?

Wouldn’t employees (or independent contractors) that bring a First Amendment lawsuit against their employer be either a) fired right after delivering it, or b) just not used anymore as talent?

How ironic was it that the Voodoo Kin Mafia spoke about the “dumb to the extreme” skits that “they” (WWE) do, when they did a very prime example of those very same stupid skits all show long?

Why did Eric Young think he had to actually be wearing the turkey suit when he wrestling Robert Roode?

Can you believe they did a skit about steroids?!

SMACKDOWN WRINGERS – NOVEMBER 24, 2006

How the hell was Undertaker’s voice coming through the speaker system, when he wasn’t holding (or appear to be wearing) a microphone?

And for a network that shies away from showing too much blood (hence all the black-and-white footage), they sure didn’t do so with Kennedy’s “blood bath”, did they?

MISCELLANEOUS THOUGHTS

So Batista is the World Champion again, huh?  Let’s hope this doesn’t signal a reduction in Booker’s “King” storyline – he’s one of the best things on that brand right now!
