lahoma on TV again

I would usually say that Laurinaitis should stay on TV because of his huge boos, but his voice is terrible. Get him off TV. And about Cena’s intensity, well my newest column deals with that. JR getting humiliated in Oklahoma is ridiculous, and I could easily do without that too.
How about no more of JR being humiliated, period?
johnny ace is fine as an authority figure that we hate. clearly you hate him; job well done Johnny. Voice/presence/inability to speak into a mic are what make him a decent heel. He is terrible and hey, it’s worked for Cena(in the minds of those that think he is terrible) so why can’t it work for Johnny?
Dolph should be world champion, no doubt about it. The guy is amazing.
Impact hasn’t been pushing the older guys during the last month or two,which is awesome because yeah, it’s virtually unwatchable. unless you consider upper mid card status a push(RVD, Bully Ray, Bischoff, Daniels(to a lesser extent), Steiner(although he gets the ironic ‘we want Steiner’ chants)or either of the Jeffs, although Hardy is credible in the main event because he gets the Cena demographic, which is important to merch sales)The main event scene is Roode, Styles, Storm, Angle(who is putting Storm over both in the ring and in interviews)and, again, Hardy.
Those guys should get a push, except Grizz. I love him, but Grizz vs Davey/Roddy/Callihan/Gargano equals nobody giving a shit. Gotta do what is best for the majority, not the minority, which sadly, we both fall into.
Also, Greg Iron, as inspiring as he is, isn’t that entertaining in the ring. His uninspired arm drags and terribly limited offense do nothing but exploit his disability and make the others look weak. A better booker might be able to build more believable matches with him by heavily plotting the action, or if they are doing that already, plotting it more believably. I’m sorry, but I did not buy his effort against Silas Young nor his four way match against three guys with limited skills. Maybe with more time under his belt we could see something special(no pun intended) out of him, but for now, let’s keep him on the indy upper lower card and not the already watered down WWE scene.
good points though and a fun read in general.
