Last Friday on Smackdown, we witnessed a Peepshow segment between Christian and Matt Hardy, in which they did a semishoot talking about how they have never been in position because of management to win a championship. Basically, and in a rather boring way may I add, they rambled about how they deserved to finally win a championship. Personally, and apparently the live crowd agreed with me, they showed why they should never be champions.
Christian, God bless his soul, because amongst this horrid segment you could tell we has great mic skills. Just isn't over. You could complain all you want about how he isn't push hard, but guys like Matt Hardy, R-Truth, John Morrison, Kofi Kingston, havent been pushed hard their entire careers and you could still hear solid pops for them throughout their tenures. He just isnt over as a babyface, so it was just sad hearing him give a promo about deserving to be a champion and how the crowd would agree with him while the crowd was sitting on their hands.
Matt Hardy, on the other hand, God, he looked so out of shape it wasn't even funny. That gut of his was amazing. He's starting to reach 2006 JBL fatness. Thing is, I wouldnt give a damn he was fat if in the ring it didn't affect him. Big Show and Rey Mysterio tend to get out of shape at times, yet you couldn't tell by watching their matches. Matt Hardy thanks to his weight gain had to go from a high flyer wrestler to a technical wrestler-a mediocre technical wrestler that is, and how he's just plain boring to watch. You know you suck in the ring when one of your most high impact moves is a second rope elbow drop to the back of the head...of an standing wrestler.
Seriously, this has to be one of the worst segments in a long time. Crowd was dead throughout, and for two wrestlers presenting their case of how they deserved to be World Champions, they did nothing more to sink into midcard.
Thoughts?
