My thoughts on latest happenings in the WWE

Happy Birthday to Dasmond Koh, Daren Tan and Cheryl Chin SH

Currently things in the WWE seem to be out of control, with controversy swarming over nearly every brand. Soehow becoming like Gotham City if you ask me.

I can feel the heartache within Triple H... his in-laws being assaulted by one cunning viper who covered himself behind lawyers and doctors and even claimed to be 'suffering from some mental condition known as IED'. Firstly, we know that Vince McMahon, chairman of the WWE, got punted in the head just mere minutes after his return on national television, on the week before Royal Rumble. Then Shane feuded with Orton in the weeks to come... only to suffer the same fate as his dad the night after No Way Out. On that very night, we also bore witness to Raw GM Stephanie McMahon getting an RKO, and that led to the new WWE Champion rushing out to attend to his fallen wife, and stare at Orton with anger and hatred in his eyes. Expect a showdown between The Game and The Legend Killer at WrestleMania 25... this could indeed be a good chance for Orton to make use of his Royal Rumble win to face the new WWE Champ, esp since Edge is now in a feud with John Cena.

It is for this very reason (i.e. Orton's assault on the McMahons) that I have decided never to buy the Randy Orton figure. Maybe I will buy Shane McMahon and Vince McMahon, but never will I buy any figure linked to Orton or even his dad. Just as Triple H said, Orton had crossed the line, the one he can never come out from... he made this conflict even more personl than ever.

Another figure I am not gonna purchase is the Edge figure. Sure I enjoyed watching the "Edge: A Decade of Decadence" DVD, but I certainly don't approve of his obsession over gold. As if losing the WWE Champion in the first 3 minutes of the Smackdown Elimination Chamber match at No Way Out wasn't enough, Edge showed others why the fans call him the "Ultimate Opportunist"... by taking out Kofi Kingston and interjecting himself into the Raw Elimination Chamber match, and winning the entire match to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.

Remember the time when Edge won his very first world ttle some 3 years ago, when he cashed in his Money In The Bank opportunity at New Year's Revoultion 2006 to defeat a bruised and bloodied Cena to become WWE Champion for the very first time? He had used the same tactic on May 2007 to defeat a bruised and bloodied Undertaker to become World Heavyweight Champion for the very first time. As most of you know, Edge had relied on mostly dirty tactics to claim a few more world title wins in the months between January 2006 to February 2009. Before we knew it, he is an 8-timeworld champion, having won the WWE Title and the World Title 4 times each. And there's no doubt that former champion John Cena is indeed looking or some payback.

Other points to consider...
- I seriously think that Christian should be drafted to Smackdown after WrestleMania 25 so he can teach his "brother" a lesson. I still find it weird that he could debut on ECW and not even get any promo hinting at his return.
- If The Miz and Morrison defeat Carlito and Primo to win the WWE Tag Team Titles this coming Friday, I'll be damned!!
- The Battle of the Brothers... Jeff Hardy vs Matt Hardy. Similar to any brotherly feud, but probably bettersince both are known to be extreme :-)
- When on earth is Shelton Benjamin ever going to drop the United States title??? He's already been champ for a staggering 8 months!!! I want someone to dethrone this idiot for good!!! :-(
- Hopefully Tommy Dreamer can gain more confidence and win the ECW Title once more before his contract expires in early June...
- WWE action figures in consideration... CM Punk, Rey Mysterio, Stone Cold Steve Austin and probaly Mr Kennedy. Speaking abt which, what happened to the loudmouth from Green Bay, Wisconsin?
