2009 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

OK, one more kinda interesting pick. DH Smith to ECW. Can you say Hart Foundation?

1:32 add: Carlito to Raw now, too. So maybe the tag division isn't quite dead yet. I see a Colons-Legacy feud.

 

Yep. Add the worm.

Good job, WWE.

They split up two successful tag teams, and the team with BOTH tag titles. Now what? Are the tag team titles completely done? There are no more tag teams left in WWE unless they put together some makeshift tag teams and hold some sort of tournament.

I'm pissed about this. I miss the late 80's and the 90's when tag teams were flourishing in the WWF.

 

They split up Miz/Morrison because I think (and hope) they want to establish both as upper mid-card guys after great work as a team. Or at least Morrison, who is overdue, although Miz has improved in every aspect over the past year.

The team with the unified titles is The Colons and they both moved to RAW. Cryme Tyme moves to SD! Festus/Jesse were getting stale anyway, so bringing Festus over to RAW, he becomes a solid midcard face. I don't quite get the outrage over the tag team division.

 

Oh, shoot! I missed that. I didn't see that both Primo and Carlito were moved. That's a good move, though. If they got rid of the tag titles, WWE would be getting hate mail left and right. Say what you want about tag teams, but under the WWE Title and IC Title, the World Tag Team Championships are, in my opinion, the most coveted titles in WWE.

 

He really has. I couldn't stand his douchey "ooh-rah" approach at first, but he's definitely come around and become a push-worthy mid-carder.

 

Because good tag team wrestling is what a lot of us grew up with. WWE kinda shat on that a few years ago, and then they started focusing on teams/stables more and more, only to do this.

 

I see thier thinking with splitting up Miz and Morrison because both are ready for singles pushes.

I think it was stupid, though, to have Miz turn on Morrison. Why? Morrison was clearly made the lesser of the two starts with the beatdown, and he won't have any chance at revenge because they're on different shows.

Made him look like a chump, IMHO. They should have just hugged and left it at that.

 

Miz went to Raw and it happened on Raw. Therefore, Miz is already getting over, if only briefly. Morrison should be happy he's going to SD where he'll have many more chances to do something since Triple H is a Raw guy. Miz? He's about to settle into a mid-card slot.

 

I know we all love to hate TNA, but that last match between Kurt Angle and Christopher Daniels was one for the ages.

 

Damn, I turned it off after Foley was beating up Sting while different entrance themes were playing. I figured that was TNA's jump the shark moment of the night.

Too bad. I would have liked to have seen Angle/Daniels. But that's what TNA gets when they can't consistently have good shows.
