AWESOME KONG SIGNED BY WWE
So the WWE Universe is soon to be graced by Donkey Kong.... sorry I mean Awesome Kong... the woman that looks like a cross between Mark Henry and Eddie Murphy's Big Momma. Sorry perhaps this is a bit personal but i'm not quite sure what kind of impact this will have on the WWE's diva division. It will certainly be strange to see a full on power-house in the diva's division but I guess she will sit somewhere slightly above Natalya and Beth Phoenix in the hierarchy of masculine divas. My stand point on the divas is that ultimately they're pointless they're not really there to wrestle... we lost that years ago in the time of China and Lita and the mixed gender matches (I recently watched Armageddon from 2000 with the great matchup between Dean Malenko and Lita)... the roll the divas really play in the WWE is to be aesthetically pleasing to the older WWE audience, to fill time with pointless matches and to compliment the Superstars. To me a bubble-bath fight between Lay-Cool, Maryse, The Bella Twins, and Kelly Kelly would be much more interesting than an actual fight between Awesome Kong, Beth Phoenix and Natalya vs Lay-Cool and Maryse because as ever it would just be walkover on the former's behalf. Lay-Cool entertain me, Beth Phoenix and Natalya frustrate me end of... I don't really want another member of the manly brigade.
JOHN CENA'S INJURY
WWE officially reported last night that John Cena has suffered a hip injury and will have to take some time out. This news was only officially reported at the end of the day by WWE nearly an entire 24 hours after the actual event, just before I hit the sack. Jim Ross and the WWE have both commented on John Cena's injury as being assessed day by day pointing to what could be a speedy recovery from superman. You can read JR's comments over at http://www.jrsbarbq.com/ and the WWE news report at www.wwe.com there is also video footage of John Cena's in-ring speech to the crowd at the house show on Tuesday night before he was helped out of the arena which can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTcq-K1Rglo.
I still believe that this is going to leave John Cena out of the ring until the Royal Rumble has passed and that story lines are going to be swapped and changed about. CM Punk on this Monday's Raw could simply claim that the Nexus' beatdown on Cena left him injured as he had in fact promised to do on the show, this could leave the creatives to feud Punk and the Nexus against Barret... a handy little loose end they have lying around there!
WADE BARRET'S FUTURE
I'm a big fan of Barret, being a lad born in Preston... like Barret, and now living in Manchester... WWE bill Barret as being from Manchester, I'm allowed to like the guy (its like supporting your home football team even if they are terrible). I think Barret's mic skills are brilliant he can command a crowd and always garners the response he needs. I always seem to find that it's not infact the Nexus that draws the heat from the crowds it's Barret who receives the most heat every single week on WWE Raw. I still think Barret is a little bit fresh and his in-ring skills need honing a bit but he has great potential to be a fantastic WWE Champion one day.
As for his future, I believe that with John Cena injured the easiest thing for WWE to do would be to replace the feud between the Nexus and Cena for a feud between Barret and the Nexus, this would build upon the Nexus under new management storyline, create an outlet for which John Cena can easily slot back into and create the least mess storyline wise. This storyline is already set straight up for the WWE, ignoring the whole Barret staying leader if he rehired Cena stipulation a few weeks back, we could have had another coup under Barret's leadership by Otunga orchestrated by CM Punk, after Barret was seen as being weak and once again was defeated by Superman at the TLC PPV.
I have been creating a few of my own theories based completely on speculation and my own hope. We all saw during NXT season 1 that Wade Barret and his Pro Chris Jericho got on with each other, they complemented each other well. Then when the Nexus debuted on Raw we had the destruction of the arena which led the then Raw GM Bret Hart to refuse to hire any member of the Nexus, soon after Bret Hart leaves the post of GM and the following week the Anonymous Raw GM is appointed. My current belief (this is open to change at anytime) is that the Anonymous General Manager is either Wade Barret or Chris Jericho working in cahoots, the Jericho feud with the GM could be played off as cover and would explain why much of the time the GM appears to be rather Nexus friendly, this could now change where the GM takes it out on the Nexus, Wade Barret keeps getting a push and upon the final unveiling of the Anonymous GM we have the return of a triumphant Chris Jericho (the master of the cryptic comeback).
Remember this is just speculation on storylines that I would like to see happen. They are no way based on any truth that I am aware of! Send in your own comments on what you think on all three of these pieces.
