Hello everyone and welcome to another Annie’s View. Thanks to all of you who actually answered my QOTW. I so appreciate that. Please remember that everyone that reads my View IS part of it so, if you have a beef or a cheer about RAW, SD or any other part of wrestling. Give me an email and I’ll respond. Also, if I think what you say is really awesome, funny or just right on I’ll print it in a View. This week Charity has some things she needed to get off her chest and so I’m giving her the venue along with this column. Also, in a couple weeks look for the Cheers and Jeers column that’s annual but late this year.

John Cena. I love him. That being said what do you think about the length of time he’s been allowed to keep the belt? I love when someone has a belt (any belt) for a decent amount of time but sometimes I think that some wrestlers get to keep it a tad bit too long thus, kind of boring wrestling. The contract signing took place this week but with JBL in the mix I’m wondering who’s gonna win. What do you think?

Jericho hated? C’mon. You gotta love Chris Jericho. Don’t you? He’s one of the finest wrestlers today and frankly, he’s pretty funny. When he got down on his knees and apologized it was comical to say the least. Stephanie looked as if she wanted to just laugh and Vince well…..

Vince is back. All I can say is why? Okay, that’s a question not a statement. But my point is shouldn’t he stay away? LOL. Seriously though the way he walked out this time was the worst of any time before it. I told my husband that I can see the six months he spent away he did not go to any Urologist to get rid of that stick. I will say this about Vince though (Gotta say something good I suppose) and that’s that although a die hard Republican that he is, showing Obama’s picture at the end of the Martin Luther King short was wonderful. What a day that was for all of America. Kudos to Vince.

The girls bore me so I’m not even going to talk about them except to say why is Beth with the Italian that only has one eyebrow?

This of course saddens me. Victoria leaving? I met her, she seems so sweet but I can see why she’s going. They’ve done NOTHING with her but make her a bad jobber and she’s far better than most of the girls that actually get to win.

Rey should always win. PERIOD.

CM Punk is awesome. And I loved the way the crowd popped for him. I love Regal, I love Punk so this was tough for me but a good match to watch since I love both men.

Stone Cold is the first to go into the Hall of Fame this year. Well, the first announced anyway. I think he should be there and I love that it’s finally happening. Any ideas as to who will be next? C’mon you know you have some?

Well, on a closing note I have to say that I really don’t like SD anymore so Triple H must come back to RAW because I keep missing Smack Down. Therefore, I miss Hunter’s matches.

ONE MORE THING. I miss JR with Jerry Lawler. I love the team together although I have to say that I love Jerry and he can announce with anyone I think. I just think Jerry’s that good.

Okay, Charity is up next and she has a beef so, if you like you can send your comments to me and I’ll send them to her or you can just send them to her but please send some. If you send them to me all that I ask is that you put in the subject (response for Charity) and I’ll see that she gets it.

That’s it for this week until next time be good or be like me really good doing it. (NOTE: Your answers to the last question of the week will follow Charity’s column.

Charity’s column

Ok, I’m sorry but this past week, a travesty occurred on ECW. Matt Hardy lost the ECW title to Jack Swagger. Now, I will admit, I am a huge Hardy fan. Matt, Jeff, give me a Hardy I’m happy. However, that being said, if Matt had lost the belt to an established wrestler, such as Mark Henry (even though I don’t like him) or Tommy Dreamer, I’d have been fine with it. They’ve been around, they’ve paid their dues. But Jack Swagger? No.

I am sick and tired of seeing newbie wrestlers getting title shots and receiving the titles. I don’t care that Jack Swagger was on his college wrestling team. I don’t care that in 2006, he signed a developmental contract with WWE and was assigned to Deep South Wrestling, then Ohio Valley Wrestling, then Florida Championship Wrestling before finally being given a WWE contract. Developmental doesn’t count. A lot of the developmental guys never make it out of there. And a lot of the guys who do make it out are in the WWE for years before receiving the coveted world title shot. Heck some of them wait years to get and IC title shot or US title shot. So don’t tell me that spending two years bouncing from DSW to OVW to FCW and then to WWE is paying his dues. It’s not.

Another fine example – Santino Marella. He just popped out of the crowd, supposedly as a fan, and won the IC title. WTH? He spent a little bit of time in OVW and then came to WWE and BAM wins a title on his first televised match out? Excuse me? Exactly WHAT are the writers who come up with this stuff thinking?

Do they think the fans are going to continually go for this stuff? That we’ll go for the whole “let’s put a title on a complete newbie who hasn’t really paid his WWE dues” thing? I don’t know about other fans, but THIS fan doesn’t go for it. Neither do some of my friends. My friends and I agree, newbies who haven’t been in the WWE for even a year yet should not be rewarded with titles.

It makes it look even MORE like it’s scripted than it would if they didn’t win them. Undefeated streaks and then win a title? WOW – We’re back in WCW! Holy cow! I thought that fed was dead – oh wait, it is. Oh, that’s right! Vince bought it. I guess he figures no one watching NOW remembers any of what WCW did, and that most of them probably don’t even know what WCW is/was. Sorry Vince, Shane, Steph, and anyone else making decisions, there are people who remember that Stephanie “bought” ECW from Paul Heyman and that Shane “bought” WCW from Ted Turner. Obviously these “purchases” were made with Daddy’s money and went under his flagship WWE.

And look where that has brought us. TNA, to me, is worthless. I can’t stand to watch them at all. WWE is getting to the point that I literally do not know how the event in Sioux City on Jan. 12, 2008 sold out. I know it was sold out because I live there! I just can’t believe that anyone still wants to view the travesty that has become the wrestling world.

This leads me to a question, which if you answer for me, I’ll post the answers in my next column – What do you think of wrestlers that haven’t even been in WWE for year getting titles?

First an apology to James. He sent this LAST YEAR!!! Holy Cow. But I’m putting it in anyway because I love him and he answers my questions. Good to hear from you James and again, I’m so sorry

Hey Annie,

First off, long time no talk eh? I tell ya part of the reason you have not heard from me in so long is because I kinda stopped watching wrestling for awhile. I never really watched ECW, but WCW was the greatest. That was what killed it for me, Vince should have stayed away from at least WCW. Plus the fact that this long time nWo-ite is still angry with how the nWo storyline was used in WWF. That’s right, I said wwF. Anyways. I just started to get back into some wrestling because I caught a few of the TNA shows, and plus my favorite The Undertaker is still around. That was the greatest ppv I have seen in a long time, and I think that the last Wrestlemania I actually watched when it first aired was 13. I must say I felt the opening match was way weak. Some good moves, but kinda boring. The ladder match was just awesome even though the only guy I actually knew was Jericho. Flair’s match was great too even though he lost. Though I think that he decided that. Other than that Kane winning was cool. Short, but I think that’s what makes it so cool. I’m not even going to talk about Mayweather, and I’m gonna move on to my favorite match. Undertaker vs. Edge. 16-0 ’nuff said. I actually thought that ‘Taker might lose considering how much they actually talked about the streak. Then I thought that Edge just isn’t the same calibur of star as a Mick Foley or Steve Austin. Well maybe he is, but not when fighting ‘Taker. For me the dark days will come when Undertaker, not Flair, retires. Well, that’s about all I got to say, my old wrestling days are slowly but surely coming back to me. I even bought WWE SmackDown! Vs. RAW 2008 last night for my Xbox 360.

From Melly Well I for one love Shawn and could tell he hated doing what he did. But since Flair picked him and we all knew this was Flair’s retierment match for months before it happened it was no shock. I didn’t watch WM cause I can’t aford $60 bucks that I can spend on groceries. I for one loved Flair’s goodbye on Raw. Now what I hate is that I’m having to pick between two of my favorite guys since Batista is coming after Shawn. Geez wonder who I’ll pick Dave needs to mind his own business and stay on SD. I’m oh so happy Taker has that belt away from that idiot Edge. Just wish Teddy was the boss again and Vicki and that stupid storyline was over as well. I’m with you on being sick that Orton is champin. I was rooting for Hunter. I do love Cena but knew it was 1 to soon for them to give him the belt back and 2 since he’s doing a movie they wouldn’t give it to him. As far as the Diva’s I loved them all helping Maria kick Santino’s butt. That’s my girl I’m not a Beth fan so I’m crossing my fingers Mickie get’s the belt back or Ashley. I hope everyone is praying for Jeff Hardy and his girlfriend Beth. wow I can’t believe he’s suspinded and then about a week later his house goes up in flames and they loose their dog

Steve wrote this about my QOTW: IN 2008 WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN IN THE WORLD OF WRESTLING?

That it become entertaining again.

ANSWER: I’d like to see TNA provide legitimate competition to the WWE so that Vince doesn’t feel like he has a monopoly on what happens in that sport, and what he can do to demean or otherwise tarnish the reputations of the veterans to put wrestling where it is today. It’s time to reign him and his ego in.

My good frien Pig wrote this:
I’d like to see Candice Michelle regain the ladies title from Beth Phoenix and go on to prove to all the doubters that she is indeed the Greatest Woman’s Champion of all time.

There you all go. As I stated before, be good or be like me, really good doin it.
