Monday Night Wrasslin' Wrapup

So, I missed all my WWE shows last week because we had company visiting, but I did get to watch last night's Monday Night RAW draft and Tough Enough episodes, so here are my quick thoughts on them.

First, I was sad to see Rima go on Tough Enough, but I do think it was the right choice. I like Rima - I think she's tough and genuine, and I think she'd make a great Diva. I hope she continues training, because I could definitely see her doing well in the ring if she gets her skills down better. I also think she handled herself really well when dealing with being in the bottom three twice, and her eventual elimination. Good for her for going for it - hope she keeps at it!

I was impressed by Jeremiah in the agility test - he almost looked weightless the way he was hopping around! Also, it was good to see more of Andy this week. I feel like we haven't seen enough of what he can do yet. I only caught the end of the previous episode, where Mickael and Ryan had to to a promo-off, but I have to say I was impressed by Ryan's promo. It was pretty good for an off-the-top-of-his-head attempt!

I love WWE Draft night on Raw! It's always fun to see everyone from both shows get together on a regular episode. I was hoping Cena would stay on Smackdown when he was drafted, but getting re-drafted at the end of the night was a fun twist - especially after the match with Alberto Del Rio. I was hoping to see Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio on the same show, but they've switched shows now. Hopefully there will be a crossover match in the future! Also, I think Dolph Ziggler looks even more like Kurt Russell now that he's changed his hair color.

I know I am one of the millions who is probably saying this, but I'm getting really sick of Michael Cole - and not in the 'I'm supposed to be sick of him because he makes a great heel' kind of way. I actually like him as a heel who shoots off his mouth too much, and the feud with King and JR has been fun. It's the latest bit of meanness in his insults that's getting annoying - the trashing of the Diva's matches (which, I have to say, are quite good! The Diva roster is full of some really great wrestlers! I'm a big fan of Natalya.) Also, his mean-spirited picking on JR for being fat - I'm hoping impressionable young fans aren't listening and taking notes on bullying. That's more their parents' responsibility than the WWE's, though. I keep wishing Kane or Big Show would just come in and choke slam him when he starts talking these days, but there doesn't seem to be any sign of that happening any time soon. Oh well. That's what the mute button is for!

That's all I've got for now. Smackdown should be interesting this Friday, now that the draft is through!
