Stand Back! There s a neck injury comin through! Now Pau Gasol Bulls Jersey , don t get me wrong. I ve loved Gregory Helms ever since 3 Count. Helms has come a long way since then, and he s done alot in his WWE Career; WWF European champion, WWE Cruiserweight champion (2), World/WWE Tag Team Champion (2, Kane/Rosey), and WWF Hardcore champion (who can ever forget Wrestlemania 18, huh?). As well, he won the Wrestling Observer s Gimmick of the Year (2001) as Hurricane Helms.
It s been a while since we ve seen Helms in the ring, and I saw that he made his return to the ring last week at the TV Tapings for ECW/Smackdown. We all know that in 2007 Helms was put on the sideline due to two broken vertebrae in his neck, and that he required surgery to correct this.
So, he s coming back. And, to my understanding, he s coming back as the Hurricane (with some modifications, of course). Now Mike Dunleavy Bulls Jersey , I wonder if the WWE will give him some sort of tag team (we all loved Rosey, and his status with the Superhero...yeah, you guys know the rest), or if they might kickstart the cruiserweight scene again.

With wreslters like Helms, Chavo, Jamie Noble, The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, Jimmy Wang Yang, R Truth, Rey Mysterio, Evan Bourne, and Paul Burchill...the WWE Cruiserweight scene could have a nice little kickstart with a nice Battle Royal to crown the new champion, and have the belt be on a 24/7 rule (to help with the brand split) Michael Jordan Bulls Jersey , and that the CW Champion (to my liking, Helms) would be able to be on any of the brands , and even Superstars, to defend the belt. Gregory Helms is the answer to the WWE s problem of lack of wrestling. ECW and Smackdown are full of great matches, but without a proper title, that talent kind of goes to waste. I mean, if they are just having a match for the match s sake, I don t really understand the logic behind it, especially if it s just a filler match with NO storyline meaning what so ever. So, why not have Helms be the new champ, and jump in the bandwagon of great, entertaining wrestling?

Section 2: Slap in the Face, or WWE s Trump Card?

Everyone was so sure that Ric Flair, the legendary master of the Figure 4 Leg lock Kirk Hinrich Bulls Jersey , was going to come down to the ring during the 3 For All Raw, and be announced the new Raw General Manager. Oh man, was I cracking up when Ric Flair, the supposed saint of Raw, didn t even show up on the episode, much less mentioned in the least. I mean, the show was being shown from Charlotte, which is Flair s hometown, and with all the talk of Flair wanting back into the ring/wrestling in some capacity, people think that this was a sour move for the WWE to take. However, the Trump idea/angle has worked in the past. Remeber back in 2007, during Wrestlemania 23 (Road To Wrestlemania 23), that when Trump was on WWE television, ratings went through the roof John Paxson Bulls Jersey , and actually got national news (CNN, and CNNBC both did lengthy stories on how Trump was broadening his business ventures with a risk).

News=publicity, and publicity=money. Trump made the WWE a whole bunch of money back in 2007, and the buy rates for WWE Wrestlemania 23 were higher because of the inclusion of the Hair vs. Hair match between Vince McMahon (fronted by the recently released Umaga), and Donald Trump (fronted by former ECW Champion, Bobby Lashley). All in all, it ended in a beer bath with the guest referee; Stone Cold Steve Austin, with McMahon s head shaved. Now, back to the original topic; the new Trump angle. Trump as the owner of WWE Raw. What a concept. One of the most powerful people in the US, and he owns a global entertainment outlet. Publicity, once again, comes with great profit and revenue. Say it with me, class, Publicity=Cash! Very good! Now Joakim Noah Bulls Jersey , I don t know where this angle is going, and I don t know where it will end. All I know is that the 3 For All Raw brought in a very respectable 3.5 in viewership, so WWE s Trump Card must be working somewhat.

Section 3: CM Punk=Face, Jeff Hardy=Face. Uh...How d They Do That?

CM Punk cashed in his MITB to face Jeff Hardy for the title. Thus solidifying CM Punk s tweener status. Maybe? CM Punk has, in the WWE, been a face for his entire career. Fans really like him, and he s shown that he isn t just the transition champion that people made him out to be. CM Punk, the same one, who won the MITB this year, and last year, has the potential to be the champion for a long time. However, with the over ness of Jeff Hardy with the 13 year old girls, and 10 14 year old boys, I don t see CM Punk really holding onto this reign any longer than his last reign. I mean Jimmy Butler Bulls Jersey , this was a confusing event. Jeff Hardy wins, Punk s music chimes in, Punk defeats Hardy for the title...and the crowd is left with their jaw on the floor, with the the phrase What...in the world just happened? going through their head over and over again. What we, the fans, witnessed when Punk defeated Hardy, with the MITB contract, was the transformation of Punk from mid carder, to main eventer. From babyface, to solid tweener. And Hardy, his descent into the mid card status.
