Jan. 10, 2005 I have received a lot of emails regarding my column, “I miss ECW.” A lot of these readers agree with me that wrestling today is THE absolute worst in history. Today, I have received dozens upon dozens of emails apologizing for comments they may have made regarding my other articles about professional wrestling. Why did they apologize? One email wrote that they purchased Sunday’s WWE pay-per-view show for $40 and instead of getting his money’s worth, he told me, “I basically got a 2 ½ hour s**tfest that I could have watched on Monday Night Raw.” The email also said, “You were right, the WWE sucks. I miss the good ole days where wrestling was unpredictable. Maven vs. Shelton Benjamin? Come on, do you think Maven is going to win any title? What was Vince McMahon thinking?” To be honest, I think Vince McMahon hasn’t been the “genius” since he divided the two branches apart. I was told by numerous people about the pay-per-view results, here is an email I received regarding the pay-per-view. “Hi, I’m writing in regards of my comments I made to you in an email. I want to say that I’m sorry for those rude comments. Not only were they true in the matter of Vinny Mac being too predictable, but downright disgraceful. Triple H wins the title, again. Kane beats Gene, big comeback, and predictable. Maven losing, again. Eugene f**king up his knees, sloppy wrestler, even sloppier gimmick. And the fact that Randy Orton is overrated, he was actually the last man with Triple H in the elimination chamber match. I paid good money to watch Batista win the belt and have a Triple H vs. Batista match, instead I get Triple H being the 10th time world champion. I’m not buying the Royal Rumble, and quite frankly I am boycotting the WWE and sticking with TNA Impact. I apologize for the comments and I want to personally declare you as being right.” I guess WWE Wrestling has proved me right with its products. Predictable stories, overrated wrestlers, ignorant gimmicks, I’m waiting for Doink the Clown to make a comeback. I don’t watch pro-wrestling anymore, as I said in past columns, but I am glad that a lot of people are taking notice that the WWE specifically is a joke. The WWE needs to rethink about its products instead of trying to stick with bad gimmicks like Eugene, overrated wrestlers like Randy Orton, old timers like Ric Flair and the Undertaker, and gimmicks that died in the 1980’s like Triple H’s Evolution. Vince McMahon needs to hire new writers; new wrestlers that can wow the crowd with actual wrestling, not jobbers getting intercontinental champion matches. If Vince McMahon had some actual competition, he would change the WWE like he did with Steve Austin. Hey, this might be a hint. A Stone Cold hint. ------------ About the author Eric Schomburg: Useless-Knowledge Columnist of the year 2004. An Apocalyptic Dream is now out for purchase.
