THE WRINGER REVIEW – COVERING JANUARY 8 THROUGH JANUARY 14, 2007

Well, it’s a new year, and I hope everyone had a safe, fun holiday.  Have things changed in the world of wrestling?  Probably not, but let’s kick the new year off right…with Wringers!

RAW WRINGERS – JANUARY 8, 2007

Did Cena’s “and this is true” addition to his Umaga story seem to say, “Nothing else I tell you is true, but this is”?

Did you like or hate Cena’s parodying of the “he’s got the night off” cliché, because you, like he, didn’t believe it?

Khali to Raw?!...why?  And does this mean Tommy Dreamer loses yet another chance at a push?

Did I hear JR throw a Mookie Wilson reference out, with regard to Kenny Dykstra?  And if that New York Mets connection wasn’t clear before, isn’t it now?

Will someone ever teach Khali English?

Wasn’t “The Donald’s” claim about a “$500 dollar haircut” severely undercut by the fact that his “brown roots” were showing at the back of his head?

And speaking of “The Donald”, couldn’t they at least find a decent-looking impersonator for him?

Why was Masters grabbing his thigh, when Torrie hit him in his butt?

Why is Shawn acting as if Triple H is having heart surgery?

ECW WRINGERS – JANUARY 9, 2007

During the Khali/Dreamer match, didn’t you just want to scream, “Get out of his waaay!”, like in the Rocky movies?

How does Khali beating the hell out of Dreamer again “wrap up” their storyline?

How exactly is Khali…agile?!  Have we ever seen him run, or even jog, to the ring?

Isn’t it amazing that Shannon Moore is willing to go around in public looking like that (the hair and jewelry, mostly), all for a glorified jobber role in WWE?

How does Armstrong justify putting the “mobile and agile” RVD in the same company (in those respects) with Khali?

Line of the night:  “I think he’s hurt”, by Armstrong, after RVD crushes his leg on the announce table after Lashley moves out of the way of his corkscrew legdrop!

SMACKDOWN WRINGERS – JANUARY 12, 2007

So Joey Mercury suddenly “had” a prospective movie career?

Why are we getting vignettes for…a Diva?!

I know where Poughkeepsie, New York is, but where exactly is “pay-per-views”?

Is JBL trying to distance himself from being an announcer by denouncing Cole’s attempts at calling him a “partner”, and describing himself as “just a guy who does commentary with you”?

If Vito (in a dress) made it to a World Championship match, wouldn’t Hell have experienced a profound temperature drop the previous day?

TNA WRINGERS – JANUARY 12, 2007

Why is Kurt wrestling one of the members of Serotonin?

Couldn’t TNA be bothered to actually show us the Team 3D confrontation with Konnan?

Isn’t this a rather shallow “victory” for Voodoo Kin Mafia?  And is it actually a real victory, if their “opponents” don’t respond in any way to the challenge?

MISCELLANEOUS THOUGHTS

Triple H’s injury really screws up the plans for WrestleMania 23, and I’m sad for him, and the company.  For him, because I hate to see anyone go down with a serious injury, and for the company, because we as wrestling fans will get “backup plans” from now until Mania.  And that usually isn’t good for us!

In reading the results of the TNA Final Resolution pay-per-view, I’ve come to the conclusion that they should change the definition of the word, “irony” in all printed dictionaries (at least in Florida), to read simply, “See TNA booking”.  Whining about WWE’s silly skits, while having “Samolian Joe”, “Oily Fat Guy”, and Christy Hemme crying about Chyna on their television?!  Are they kidding?
