What’s up! It’s been approximately three days since my last post. To say the least I was busy as hell, and had little time to think let alone post a column up. The next week is going to be hectic, as I have three days of school left, I graduate on Sunday, and I have a bunch of family coming down tomorrow that I see very little of because of the proximity that they live from me. So, it’s going to be hard for me to get some alone time and type shit up. I’ll try my hardest, though, you can bet your last dollar on that!
Way back on March 30th I unveiled the newest Readers Choice bracket. It was voted on by over 200 people and on April 20th I was going to write the winning column. I got severely sidetracked and I never wrote it. I kept telling myself I’d write it in a few days. Well, I think it’s time to give you the winning write-up. Here’s the final tally:
My Top Five Championship Reigns********** 88 votes
What If…************************************************************ 72 votes
This Week In Professional Wrestling******* 55 votes
Talk It Up************************************************************ 18 votes
There ya have it. Despite the outcome, I planned on bringing back This Week In Professional Wrestling short time after this column. So, expect that to possibly come back this Saturday, if I have time, or the following Saturday. For now, though, we got ourselves some studying to do! Lets get on with it.
5. *Randall Orton – Intercontinental Championship from December 14, 2003 to July 11, 2004
Randy won the title from Rob Van Dam at Armageddon. He sporadically defended it, but when he did, it was always against a top-notch opponent. He held it for a total of seven months, and truth be told the last four months of this reign is what really put him over the top. Mick Foley may have had a big help in that, but Randall was on fire nonetheless. Admittedly, the E fucked up pretty big-time by giving him the World Heavyweight Championship just one month after losing this strap. I, though, am one of the few who actually enjoyed Randall’s first short reign with the title. If only they had more trust in him and gave him another three months with it. Oh well.
4. *Triple H – World Heavyweight Championship from December 15, 2002 to September 21, 2003
I’ll admit a dirty little secret to you all here. My viewship didn’t truly start till half way through this reign. As a kid of ten years old, though, I hate Trips. He was that dastardly heel who constantly came out on top whether clean or with the help of Evolution. What really sets this reign up there is that whoever the challenger was, I was always rooting for them. For the lengths that I seen of his reign, it was guys from WCW who I always loved, such as Booker T, Kevin Nash, and Bill Goldberg. Triple H held that title like heels fail to do today. One of the big reasons I was against a streak vs career match at WrestleMania is because I’m awaiting the day that Trips returns as that dastardly heel and shows these up-and-comers how it’s really done.
3.* John Morrison & The Miz – WWE Tag Team Championships from November 13, 2007 to July 20, 2008
This was one of the most entertaining reigns of my lifetime viewership of WWE. Back then there were some very interesting tag teams afloat in the WWE, and MorriMiz dominated them all. One of the top things to put their reign over the edge was the constant rebuttals with Cryme Tyme online. To make it all better, they are both top superstars in the E today.
2.* Randy Orton – WWE Championship from October 7, 2007 to April 27, 2008
Randall was awarded the belt at the beginning of No Mercy. Then to follow Trips beat him for the belt. After that, Triple H defended it against Umaga in a Last Man Standing Match. To close the show Randall won it back. A clusterfuck to say the least. What happended afterwards, though, is what puts this up to number 2. At this time Randall was still one of my favorite wrestlers, so that gives it extra brownie points. Still though, he defended the belt twice against HBK Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Jeff Hardy, John Cena, John Cena and Triple H before finally losing it back to Trips. That is quite the list of feuds if you ask me. And every one of them was fresh. It marked the first and only time for him and Y2J; the first and only against Jeff Hardy; the first against John Cena. It was fresh, and it was awesome.
1.* John Cena – WWE Championship from September 17, 2006 to October 2, 2007
I’ve said it recently in my columns, but this reign was just awesome. He had that strap for over a year before I believe he tore his pectoral muscle right before he was set to face Randall at the upcoming PPV that said Randall won the strap above. Anyways, he held it for a year and about a month and defended it against all kinds. Mick Foley, and Bobby Lashley were the two match-ups that really made it worth the while for me. As I’ve also said many times before, the summer of 2007 was amazing on Raw because of all the great talent that was swept there. Not extraordinary talent, but talent that I loved.
Well, that does ‘er for this edition of Reader’s Choice. The next one I’ll be unveiling tomorrow. I promise this time that I’ll keep to my promises and post it when due, lol. Right now, though, I need* your help. I’m struggling on ideas for columns for you to vote on. So, if you have any ideas for a column just post them in the comment section below or e-mail me them! I’ll be sure to put them in no matter how bad or good.
Before I leave, tell me what you folks Top* 5’s are. I’d love to hear from the masses! Until next time, it’s Spartacus saluting the troops and say Happy Memorial Day!
