Two Bad Feuds To Continue


Summerslam we could have only hoped would have been the end to two feuds that the WWE has slated not only to continue, but to make a major part of the brands next pay-per-views. First the DX-McMahon feud will go on, and that could have been predicted after the first 30 minutes of RAW on Monday night. RAW was another sad plight in DX playing pranks on the two McMahons all night, and the final segment of the show, after the "firing" of Mick Foley, dragged forever. It ended as the pair of Shawn Michaels and HHH put a chain on the back of Vince's limo, pulling off the back tires and sending the car skidding. Gee, wasn't it just about two months ago we had DX setting off some sort of green bomb in another McMahon limo? At least if we have to be subject to more of this way overdone feud, come up with some new skits. It's evident that the company has no other plans for DX to feud with anyone else, so why not continue a way over hyped feud with the owner of the company? It's boring, bad wrestling that needs to get some fresh kick to it. It still makes me chuckle the scene of HHH cupping his ear on Sunday night in Boston trying to get the crowd to cheer louder, like Hulk Hogan, and getting about a fourth of the cheers that Hogan did. It's a sign that the crowd is done with this feud, and look for the hi jinks to get worse as we get ready for yet another match between these four at Unforgiven.

On the Smackdown side, the one feud that we did not want to see continue - will. Not only will it continue, but reports say that it will get worse. Yes, we will have more Chavo Guerrero - Rey Mysterio shoved down our throats for not one, but at least two months. The crowd reaction to this match on Sunday at the PPV spoke volumes as to how people felt about this feud, which we all knew was coming. Face it, we all loved Eddie Guerrero. He was a great person, a great wrestler, and a great family man. Sure he had his issues, but it seemed in the end he had turned his life around. So in death, they have continued not only to shove his name down fans throats, but now is using his family as pawns for upcoming matches. The feud is going to get more ugly, as Vicki Guerrero is slated to turn on Rey, and join up with Chavo in a sort of heel Guerrero team. I am still trying to figure out what motive this woman has to be involved in a story line that basically revolves around her deceased husband. It simply makes no sense, unless there is money problems in the family that is not being discussed. The current story line is to take this thing all the way up to the next Smackdown PPV - No Mercy, on October 8th. Boy, what a train wreck that PPV will already be - Chavo vs Rey and Batista vs Booker as your two biggest matches. Shows where that brand is. I have always felt in the end if the fans hate something bad enough, changes will be made. In this case though, it seems the WWE is hell bent in shoving these two bad feuds in the faces of its fans.
