Anyway, if you've been following my blogs, you know the rules, two talents per episode. Our talents of the day are...
*Drum Roll*

WWE's own Evan Bourne :
Now this will be a controversial pick, a lot will say "So you want Bourne as WWE Champ ? Nobody will believe he can, he's too small"
Or at least that's the kind of stuff I heard from a few youtubers, anyway, underused does not equal needs to be the WWE/WHC Champion.
Evan Bourne is a classic example of why WWE needs the cruiserweight division back, he's very talented both in the ring and in the air, if you want any proof of what he's able of just watch this match :


Evan Bourne like many other superstars, can't reach his top in WWE, simply he won't be a believable champ, this is sad but true in my opinion, I myself wouldn't believe Bourne beat the likes of Batista & Cena, it's just not believable, therefore, for Evan Bourne to finally shine, WWE needs to bring back the cruiserweight division, now don't tell me "They don't have enough to start a division" Barretta, Bourne, Mysterio, Kidd, Chavo (If he accepts to go back), Gabriel, Slater & many more also the WWE can sign even more cruiserweights and from what I remember, cruiserweights like the X-Division stars are always the highlights of the night. Be it WWE, WCW or TNA.

And TNA's own : Eric Young
This in my view is a simple case of bad gimmick & writing.
EY has been the victim of funny gimmicks and bad writing as many other wrestlers have, having done "funny" gimmicks (or corny ones if you prefer to call it so) really has ruined any chance he had at success, when people think of EY they will most likely think of the "Super Eric" gimmick, or the Team Canada afraid guy gimmick.
I am a huge fan of the man, I think he really has all it takes to succeed, I thought his push with the World Elite faction was gonna be his breakthrough point and I was sadly sadly disappointed as they stayed in the shadow of the MEM and the flashes of brilliance the World Elite faction had were quite few and eventually TNA did with World Elite what they always do with storylines, they let it fade into the non existence and brought back the corny crazy EY gimmick.
As funny as it may be I am quite disappointed about this because in World Elite he looked to me as a very solid heel and I hope EY gets his chance one day.

So that's it for today, hope you enjoyed the read
Please do leave your comments and suggestions about Superstars to be used in the next episode.
And also due to the number of people who asked for Tyler Reks, he could be the next WWE Underused Talent I discuss
Thanks for your time

I've heard some nice comments so I guess I'll keep'em coming ;)
Now allow me to remind everyone : Every episode I talk about 2 Underused Talents (WWE or TNA or Both). So without further adu let's meet our Underused Talents of the day :)

Drew McIntyre :
The sinister Scottsman, the man that was mentioned in about every comment I had in the last Episode, this guy has got the looks, this guy has got the skills to make it in my humble opinion, he also has the mic skills (Yes some people argue that his accent makes his promos "bad" but I for one am impressed with his promos and if we're gonna talk accents let's talk Booker T, Sheamus & so on).

Anyway, not only did McIntyre have all that, but he had the PERFECT gimmick. The Chosen One, Mr.McMahon's superstar, the man Mr.McMahon signed personally and predicted he'd be world champion. As Drew McIntyre was getting his start on Friday Night SmackDown, WWE tried to do what they do with young stars, push them to the moon for no obvious reason (I remember some time back nobody could stand Sheamus for this same reason). Anyway, as we can all guess, that didn't work out, so WWE, I guess, thought "that guy can't draw".

Robert "Bobby" Roode :
Now this man needs no introduction for TNA fans, but for those that don't watch TNA, look for a guy that has a good physique, great wrestling skills, when he talks on the mic you can't help but listen and you'll find him.

One half of the TNA World Tag Team Champions, and as I guess it's obvious one of my favorite wrestlers to watch in TNA, now some might say "One half of the TNA World Tag Team Champions ? How can that be underused" Allow me to answer, Robert Roode has been in the Beer Money tag team for the past (I think) 3 to 4 years, and before that he was in Team Canada, he had a brief run as a singles wrestler but then his opportunity was taken away for reasons I do not comprehend.

Now don't get me wrong Tag Team wrestling is great and I am one of the biggest fans of tag team wrestling, but being a successful tag team wrestler is not as a big as being a successful singles wrestler.

Robert Roode, like McIntyre, has the gimmick, the looks, the skills and the mic skills, I wouldn't say he as well is a case of booking gone wrong but rather of "Playing It Safe".

Thankfully lately Robert Roode has been getting some TV time and matches on his own, I most certainly hope that they don't break up the Beer Money tag team now, it's not the appropriate time at all, Sabin being out with an injury eliminates the Motor City Machine Guns tag team and Generation Me just left after Destiantion X, so Beer Money is basically TNA's superior tag team till they hire other tag teams and till Sabin returns (Which won't happen before 2012)

In time Robert Roode will get the push he deserves, I think even a blind man can see the potential in this man.

So that's it for today.
Hope you had a good read and as always comments and opinions are very appreciated :)
Thank you for your time and see ya in Episode #3 ;) ]]> Siracul http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?1628-WWE-amp-TNA-Underused-Talent-Episode-2 http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?1590-WWE-amp-TNA-Underused-Talent Fri, 22 Jul 2011 10:54:23 GMT Siracul in, hope everything's fine peeps.
So i was thinking to myself, what would be a good subject to write a blog about ? And I thought of a classic subject... Underused talents.
Sure tons of people write about this subject, so I'll just try to add a little bit of me into what I'm writing and I hope you'll enjoy it :)
In every Episode I will talk about two underused talents, be it WWE talents or TNA talents.

Underused Talent #1 :
Samoa Joe
The guy is one hell of a wrestling machine, he can brawl, he can fight, he can get violent and nasty, from what I just said people might think of him as one of those brawlers that do nothing but punch (aka Ezekiel Jackson) but the guy is also pretty good at submissions and the way he moves from submission to another is just flawless for a guy his size.
Samoa Joe has a lot of ups that make him very easy to market, his ring skills being the most obvious, the guy can simply go, his mic skills are good, better than a lot of those getting a push in TNA (aka Gunner & Crimson) and he can actually put on an amazing wrestling match. Also his size and all the other features he has can quite easily make him believable as a monster heel and a fierce babyface.
With that being said almost all the criticism Joe gets is for his weight and I quite honestly don't see why the f*ck is his weight so freaking important ?
Someone please answer that question.
In my book, Samoa Joe deserves to be in the running for the TNA World Championship but with his losing streak lately, I doubt it, however, they do seem to focus on his emotions concerning his losing streak so I hope, actually I pray to the good God above, TNA, iMPACT Wrestling, WHATEVER Don't Screw Joe.

Underused Talent #2
Trent Barretta (& Caylen Croft)
Now you may not remember these 2.
Both were a new-formed Tag team on WWE-ECW before it was ended.
I guess Caylen Croft went out with a pink slip after ECW or maybe a little while after competing on SmackDown! his cut was a "budget cut" (God I hate those)
Anyway, if you watch Superstars (Which i don't) then you probably know Trent Barretta, he's basically a regular there, on Superstars, Barretta proved that he can put on great matches with the likes of Tyson Kidd and so.
Also I remember not long ago Trent had a series of matches with someone on SmackDown! that were quite fun to watch.
The guy basically has the skills in my book, he has the look, but I'm not really sure about his mic work I can't really remember a promo of his.
Now I'm not saying this guy should be in the Main Event, but I do think that Caylen Croft should be brought back, they reform the Dude Busters and maybe just maybe they start taking over Tag Team in WWE.
Let's face it WWE needs tag teams, The Usos are good, Dude Busters were a great tag team in my book, and Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater got split just when they were starting to shine in their matches against The Usos.

So basically as tag teams in WWE now we have Marella & Kozlov, Usos, McGuillicity and that other guy (can't remember his name, good mic, green in ring). Why did they fire one half of the Dudebusters again ?

That's it for today I hope you enjoyed it :)
I made this in a hurry as I have to catch my driving lesson :)
I hope you enjoy this and please let me hear your comments and feedback :)
Siracul out ]]> Siracul http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?1590-WWE-amp-TNA-Underused-Talent http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?1549-CM-Punk-is-indeed-Money-In-The-Bank Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:10:06 GMT Well hello there peeps,
This is my 2nd blog technically (The first wasn't published dunno what i did wrong) Anyway, I just finished watching Money In The Bank, and I'll sort of give my review quickly on all matches, then go on and focus on the main event, which for as far as I can remember is the best match Cena has had in his entire career in my opinion.

First Match
SmackDown Money In The Bank Ladder Match

At the beginning of the PPV, I thought this would be the show stealer, this match has once again proved my point that SmackDown! is indeed the dominant brand in the WWE. For the last few years, I have always viewed SmackDown! as WWE's A brand, and I think the SmackDown! talent just proved it. From the amazing Sheamus spots, to Daniel Bryan & Cody Rhodes battling it out, to Kane actually looking as a legitimate monster and finally Daniel Bryan winning (I had predicted Sheamus or Barrett would win) which was a pleasant surprise.
This match was just amazing.

Second Match :
Divas Match Brie Bella Vs. Kelly Kelly
Now i don't watch Divas matches, I even rarely do watch Knockouts matches, I'm just not big on women's wrestling, anyway, the only reason i watched this match is because of how people said it was awful, more awful than normal Divas matches, and boy was it a botchfest
Enough said.

Third Match :
Show Vs. Henry
OK match, not much to say, although Mark Henry is finally getting interesting again, glad he won, thought WWE would not allow Big Show to lose, glad I was wrong.

Fourth Match :
Raw Money In The Bank Ladder Match
Mm, I dunno why i wasn't into this match. Don't get me wrong it had amazing stuff in it, the Air Bourne from the top of the ladder being the best spot of the night, Miz faking an injury and returning, someone remind me again what did the rest do ? Ya I forgot what A-Ry did, what Kofi Kingston did, I tend to forget things that don't interest me, R-Truth had one good moment in the match and the ending was rather predictable, I'm glad ADR won though.

Fifth Match :
Christian Vs. Randy Orton for the World Heavyweight Championship
I looked forward to this match, but I was terribly disappointed with how it went down. The match was a good back and forth action match, offense and defense were about evenly matched I'd say, it's just the ending that ruined it all. The WWE not allowing Christian to have a clean win after all this time building the feud, not allowing him to prove he can beat Orton, having to make a man so lunatic he doesn't give a rat's @#!*% about the World Title.
Yeah, that's what screwed it for me. The ending was @#!*% , now this may seem biased as I'm a peep but I certainly didn't watch all these months of feuding just for this BS. I dare say I enjoyed Mark Henry Vs. Big Show more than this match.

Sixth Match :
WWE Championship Match : CM Punk Vs. John Cena
Now I think this is the match we've all been waiting for, not a single person wasn't waiting for this, this IS the match that made people buy the PPV and dare I say this is the Cena match that I'll watch over and over again.
This match was given the time it needed, it wasn't your classic Cena match, get beat down ten to fifteen minutes then come back hit the AA and retain.
It was a back and forth action, counter after counter, move after move match between a great wrestler and an ok wrestler.
But what made the match was not the technicality or ring work, it was the story telling, this is the first match that actually had good story telling in it since, well, since Chris Jericho Vs. Rey Mysterio from the Bash in 2009 or since The Nexus Vs. Team WWE at SummerSlam 2010.
I wish I hadn't read the results before watching the PPV because I'm @#!*% sure I would've marked out when Punk got the pinfall.
What made this match also was not just storytelling, it was the great crowd and I'll get to that in a moment.
CM Punk has definitely proven over the last month that he IS money in the freaking bank, his promos, his ring work, his story telling, if I were Vince McMahon I would be wishing I had used him a long time ago. With that being said, we can't attribute the success of this angle to Punk alone, Vince was a part of it, his promo with Punk was nothing short of awesome, and yes, we have to also give a little bit of credit to John Cena.

The Crowd
The Crowd was absolutely brilliant, letting their voices heard about just about everything in the PPV, Chicago has always been a city to let it's voice be heard, this was also very clear during the Cena - Punk match and I think the Crowd is one of the main reason this PPV is such a hit.

Rumors
I've read here a report saying that CM Punk MAYBE appearing on this Monday's RAW, if that's the case I hope it goes a little something like this. CM Punk comes back, says he won't be what Cena said, he won't turn his back, he can't leave the WWE without a championship, introduces a new championship to which the WWE will hold a tournament to crown a new champion and then announce he'll be taking some time off and be back.

Thank you for reading
I hope you enjoyed the read :)
