Thoughts on the impact Friday's show has on FUW leagues
Snoozefest for the most part. Christian vs. Bryan should have been better than it was, Sin Cara/Heath, Zeke/Khali and Kelly Kelly/Tamina werent even worthy of Superstars or NXT. I'm FLOORED that the WWE is still trying to get Zeke over.. , and what's up with not having Natalya come out to either beat up Tamina/Kelly or interfere WHILE THE SHOW IS IN CANADA?!? Just baffling. My guess is they didnt want the fans to cheer her on as they would have as it would confuse the little jimmies at home.
The only decent things to me were Dibiase/Orton which wasnt a masterpiece or anything but much better than expected, and I really enjoyed the storyline for Sheamus and Henry, both lost nothing from what happened in the match, with Henry still going over a little more as he should since he has the upcoming title shot.
I think the WWE is so focused on delivering a quality show next Tuesday that this was a throwaway. Shame.
Rising:
Nothing really worth mentioning. If Zeke picks up another win in the next few weeks I will eat crow and admit I was dead wrong to have him on my falling list for so long.
Falling:
1. Khali/Jinder - YUCK. This is what they've been priming us for? This whole storyline ended up a disaster. You could have a) Had Khali be a dominant force for months, destroying all mid-carders under Mahal's direction, b) Had Mahal be a dominant force and challenge for the IC Belt with Khali's interference help, or c) had these two become a dominant tag team force. Then after several months and a trail of destruction similar to Mark Henrys (obviously not nearly as impressive as Henry's current run), THEN you introduce this horrific story about Khali's sister and poverty and blah blah blah. But no, it's going to end soon? Mahal got a few mid card wins, Khali got a win or two, and it's time to end it? What the hell is the point? Why even start it to begin with? Do they really think the fans have had enough time to invest any emotion into the eventual turn of Khali on Mahal? I give up. Freddie Prinze Jr must be writing this dreck.
