Random Notes - Post Second Coming

I had hoped to have a video of Chris Jericho's return to Raw but I have been unable to find one. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough? Truth be told I became frustrated. I figure, if you didn't watch Raw last night for Chris Jericho's return, yet you read a pro-wrestling blog you need to take a good look in the mirror.

Chris Jericho ended the program and ratings for Raw were down from last week. Hmmm... maybe because people weren't interested in Jericho enough to sit through a horrible Diva tag match and Hornswagle v. Carlito?

I was excited to see Jericho. It was the furthest thing from a surprise as it's been speculated for months and confirmed for weeks.

I would like to see Triple H win the WWE title from Orton and turn heel on Jeff Hardy and have the feud culminate at Wrestlemania. I would like to see Michaels work a long program with Ken Kennedy. However, I have no idea what I would like to see Chris Jericho do. Where does he fit? He's already in the title picture... a spot that Jeff Hardy and Ken Kennedy are more deserving of.

I'm not going to knock Chris Jericho at all. I think it's great that he's back in wrestling. However, I also thought it was great when the Ultimate Warrior made his triumphant return at Wrestlemania 12.

Overall, I am excited to tune in on Monday.

As far as Edge, the Armageddon main event will most likely be a triple threat match between him, the Undertaker and Batista for Batista's World Heavyweight Championship.

I'll post a video as soon as I find one.

Random Notes and Opinions 11/16/07

Junior Fatu was very unpopular with the TNA talent. He showed no respect to the unknown guys - according to the unknown guys who he apparently didn't show respect to. He called Robert Roode Rick Rude. Overall, it seemed as if he was just there to collect a paycheck. I only go to my job to collect a paycheck. I think that probably 80% of Americans only go to work because they get paid. But, it's different with a wrestling promotion and especially a promotion attempting to grow the way Total Nonstop Action is attempting to grow. All of the talent has to be working together and be committed and truly care about the show. So, if all of this is true, and it all seems to be true, it's good that Junior Fatu is gone; it's good for TNA and it's good for me - the guy that watches TNA and isn't really interested in leftover WWE talent from 1999.

Edge is going to return at Sunday's Survivor Series. I'm a big fan of Edge although I think he tries to hard at being a heel. It's overkill but he's still probably my favorite wrestler. I'm sure he'll bounce right back into the world title picture. I'm thinking that Taker will win the title because of Edge's interference setting up a Batista-Edge feud. I can't see the Undertaker not winning the belt. It was the plan at Wrestlemania 23 for him to have a long title run. Neither The Undertaker or Batista really need the belt to get over.

It was cool to see Scott Hall and Kevin Nash together in the ring beating up Kurt Angle and Tomko and AJ Styles... sort of. I'm a little sketchy about TNA right now. I think they're pushing WWE leftovers where they should be pushing the home grown talent. If WCW had pushed Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit instead of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, I think they would still be around today. So if TNA is going to push Hall and Nash instead of AJ Styles and Samoa Joe they're not going to be around in a couple of years.

Speaking of Samoa Joe, he has yet to agree to a new contract with TNA. It's interesting because he and AJ Styles are the only true TNA talent that I think would be successful in the WWE. It'd be cool to see what kind of crowd reaction they would receive if they showed up on Raw. Ah... knowing Vince they'd probably be put on the ECW roster... which is really thin. They don't even have enough guys to fill a one hour show.

I'm a little more excited about Survivor Series now than I was when I posted my preview. I'm most excited about Monday... Y2J... I can't wait for the countdown. You know you can't either.

Peace Out

Dave.... for the love of all that is Holy... it's Dave...

My lack of respect for Batista must be crystal clear at this point. It's ironic because in actuality my respect for Batista has grown considerably over the last few months.

Regardless... I was under the impression that Batista's first name was Dave. Then, I came to the conclusion that his first name was not Dave but Greg... Greg Batista. The Kidd claimed responsibility for my misinformation.

Well, we're both misinformed. Batista's first name is Dave... not Greg. He is Dave Batista. He is the World Heavyweight Champion. I don't know who Greg Batista is, but I'm sure he is a wonderful person. However, Greg Batista is not the World Heavyweight Champion.

Dave, on behalf of the editorial team here at Outside Interference Wrestling, please accept our sincerest apologies. And to our fans and loyal readers, please do not assume that just because our research team here at Outside Interference Wrestling is misinformed that we are not well informed and up-to-date on all the happenings in the world of professional wrestling. We apologize for the confusion... especially if Batista is your favorite wrestler and you wanted to get a tattoo of his name on your back and you wanted his first name included in the tattoo and you weren't sure what it was and you decided you could check out Outside Interference Wrestling for that information and you found that we had stated that Batista's first name was Greg and you went ahead and got 'Greg Batista' tattooed on your back... our bad.

Now and for all time, 'The Batista First Name Issue' has been resolved. It is Dave.
