DBE- What Happened to the Grapefruits?
Submitted by Jaymz on Friday, July 19, 2002 at 7:26 PM EST
It's that time once again! Strap up your heels and such, because Ejacula himself has returned to bring you another edition of DBE! What a week of wrestling we COULD have had. It's a damn shame, but let's get started. On Monday night it was just another habitual viewing of RAW on the new TNN. Things took a serious turn for excitement as soon as I saw Eric fucking Bischoff on WWE television. I couldn't believe what the hell I was seeing. I just kept thinking "This was the same guy who tried to kill off the WWE and came pretty damn close!"
I guess this proves that Vince is trying ANYTHING to get his precious ratings back. Even hugging the guy who gave away the Greater Power angle, who some consider one of the best angles ever.
On Tuesday night another curve was dealt and things weren't as exciting anymore. Since I don't get Smackdown in my area, I read the spoilers. You know what? I can honestly say that I'm glad I don't have Smackdown anymore. Vince is a fucking idiot. The same guy I admired as a business man is losing his mind.
What happened to the balls that were the size of grapefruits? It seems as though his children, especially Stephanie, reduce him to futile grapes. I understand that it's family, but it doesn't seem to register that this is also a business. A family business, sure, but a business nonetheless.
The fans are what make you money, NOT Stephanie McMahon. The temporary buzz that was received Monday night was just annihilated on Smackdown. Was there a better choice? Yes, I believe that there was, but I don't know who would be a better choice, so don't even ask me that. The ratings may have improved going INTO Smackdown, but will it overflow into Raw, especially after a PPV? We'll see.
My guess is that she'll hog up much more TV time than Bischoff. I'm willing to bet on that. My friend of mine pointed out that another pregnancy angle may be just ahead. Triple Aids asked "Are you gaining weight?" to which she replied with only a grin.
Oh, right...this angle's been done already and we found out it was a lie. Allah forbid the WWE recycling an angle in hopes that nobody will remember. Maybe this time she'll "really, really mean it."
I don't want to shoot this entire angle down just yet. Maybe, just maybe, it will actually work. Maybe, just maybe she won't fuck up this time. If it does somehow fuck up, Vince has to realize that something he did was wrong. He's to realize that there was a wench...er...wrench that was thrown into his marvelous idea that caused it to malfunction.
If it does fail, I hope McMahon has the grapefruits to do the right thing and kick her ass to the house. I doubt Bischoff will be to blame, considering he's the one who got the buzz started.
Anyway, I'm taking another "Wait and See" approach to this GM angle.

It's time once again to answer a few of your questions that you've asked me over and over again on the lovely contraption known as AIM. Here's this week's FAQ.
1: Who are you?
- If anyone else IM's me with this as their first question I'm going to hunt you down and stick a needle in your arm. You IM'ed me, you should know.
2: Who's your favorite wrestler?
- At this time, it's RVD, Jeff Hardy, Angle, Booker and Kamala. For those who have no clue who Kamala is, as my friend Jason said, he's like the African version of Hogan.
3: Who will win the title Sunday/Summerslam/ever?
- My momma.
4: What do you think of the talent raid?
I think the talent trades is a breath of fresh air in the dying "Brand Extension". I just hope that Stephanie doesn't raid Raw of Booker T. Oh sure he's getting some sort of push, even though he's forced to work with the fat fuck known as the Big Show, but he's really one of the last reasons I'm bothering with wrestling at all.
One trade I would like to see is D'Von coming back to Raw. He could team up with Booker T and form Jerusalem Heat. I can see it now, Booker T yelling out "Don't hate the prophet, hate the prophecy.....suckaaaaa!"
A few trades will definitely help out the suffering Raw roster, but let's hope it doesn't create a huge clusterfuck that will leave us with Thursday Night Raw or Monday Night Smackdown.
I apologize for the abrupt end, but the excitement I felt on Monday has left me. As always, thanks for reading. If you want to drop a line the e-mail addy is at the top and bottom. Also, you can shoot the shit through AIM at Jaysus0Christ.
