Buy or Sell: Punk and Kofi vs. Miz and Morrison, Kelly Kelly, Chris Jericho, Charlie Haas, WWE Raw, JBL, The Twilling
By Rich Twilling Oct 21, 2008 - 04:45 PM


Today's Rundown: Raw tag team match, Kelly Kelly, Chris Jericho, Chris Jericho again, Charlie Haas, WWE Raw, JBL, The Twilling

CM Punk and Kofi Kingston vs. The Miz and John Morrison: I am buying this match. On a version of WWE Raw that did not have a whole lot to sink its teeth into, this was a very good tag team match. There seems to be a decent tag team division and if WWE chooses to run with it, they could have a potentially entertaining group.

Kelly Kelly's in ring improvement: I am buying this. You have to give her credit for working hard and getting better. Six months ago, most fans wrote off her ability to ever work a match. Fast forward to now and she is believable as the top challenger for Beth Phoenix's women's championship.

Chris Jericho's promos: I am selling a high fraction of his recent efforts. Of course, it is not his fault. He was booked as an absolute beast during his feud with Shawn Michaels and at the beginning of his title reign. Lately, he has come across as whiny and vulnerable. He should take the attitude of "I don't care about winning your respect but I am so good, I am going to earn it anyway."

Chris Jericho goes one for three: This is an overwhelming sell. Jericho, the world champion, won one match out of three. His lone win was against a fatigued and beaten William Regal. After a few minutes, he decided he could not defeat Mark Henry, so he got himself disqualified. Then he was defeated cleanly by Kane. On a pay-per-view already without Shawn Michaels wrestling, sending Jericho in looking weak like that cannot be good for buy rates.

Charlie Haas: Sometimes he is extremely entertaining. Sometimes he bombs. Sometimes he falls somewhere in the middle. However, I am buying the entire gimmick as a whole. Give the guy credit; he went from never being on television to becoming the focus of one of the most sought after segments each week. I hope this eventually leads into Haas being able to become an in-ring threat.

WWE Raw: I am selling the overall show and its latest efforts. There is a lot there to work with at least. Push Jericho as a badass world champion with his popular face challengers. Focus on the tag team division by giving them mic and ring time. Figure out what is actually funny and push that stuff. Other than that, just play to the strengths of the roster. This could be a very good show but it just has not been as of late.

JBL's promos: Although I am generally not a fan of political statements and messages on a wrestling show, I am buying JBL's mic work right now. For what seemed like ever, he delivered the same promo to CM Punk every week. His current promos remind me of those he gave as WWE Champion. Give JBL credit for remaining entertaining despite not being in a top program anymore.

Michael Cole's comment saying Jericho wants to be World Champion heading into Wrestlemania XXV: I am buying the comment because I hope that means they are considering keeping the belt on Jericho until Wrestlemania. I think he deserves it and would give us a fantastic Wrestlemania main event.

The Twilling: Dot Net Forum members have bestowed upon me this nickname and I am buying it. It's hilarious to me and I will continue to use it in moderation. Thanks guys!
