Heat and Velocity. Not much worth checking out. Tomko and Snitsky are breaking up, the minis match is back to US style wackiness, they had Funaki work most of the six man tag.
Look at this list of participants:
Eugene
Rob Conway
Lance Cade
Chavo Guerrero
Tyson Tomko
Snitsky
Viscera
Val Venis
Trevor Murdoch
Goldust
Super Crazy
Vito
Sylvan
Mascartia Sagrada
Tsuki
Simon Dean
Gymini I
Gymini II
Brian Kendrick
Paul London
Funaki
On Thursday’s Figure Four Daily, Dave Meltzer talked about rumored upcoming roster cuts. He did not name any names, but, with a name apparently in mind, declared that among the cuts would be “someone who’s joke has run it’s course.” Look at that list again – how many people don’t feel that description? (That was a rhetorical question. Though I think Chavo is safe)
Since they brought it up this week – why did they book a match where Val and Viscera win a title shot? You’re asking for something which doesn’t happen on RAW to be followed up on RAW, and it’s so meaningless, they don’t really need to do a match to set it up. It can only go wrong, and it’s going to be something only Todd remembers.
Heat was actually show# 400 – but that’s if you count the newly separate pre-PPV Heats as they’re own show, and I don’t know if I’m supposed to. I don’t care all that much. Velocity #200 is coming up 03/25, and maybe we’ll throw a party for Funaki.
Josh didn’t call Crazy/Nunzio a MOTYC last week or this week, so I wonder who got all hyper about it? It was good, I’m not saying it wasn’t, but I thought the Dicks vs London/Kendrick match was better.
This is SmackDown, but how long could “Helms faces a cruiserweight a week on SmackDown!” last before they get bored and yank it? Three weeks max? Gregory is not bad, but they could have tried this with someone more interesting and they might as well be doing clean finishes.
