Change. The only constant in the universe. Change can be good, and change can be bad. I haven't been posting lately because I have been breaking in a new laptop I just bought. Getting away from a desktop is a good change. Now, I can sit in my easy chair and surf the web, post on my blog, whatever.
In some cases however, the more things change, the more they stay the same. This past Friday night, Paul Bearer returned from his supposed "cement crypt" (remember The Bash a few years ago?) to once again stand side by side with The Undertaker, in his fight against Kane. Haven't we been through this before?
Just a few weeks ago, Tyler Black threatened to take the ROH belt and lay it on Vince McMahon's desk when he made his way to the WWE. Gee, where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, the Dudley Boys last night in ECW! Yeah I remember now! And before that, Didn't Alundra Blaze drop her WWE ladies title in a garbage can on Monday Night Nitro? I think she did.
In the NWA, which rarely makes news in this age, once again has The Shiek causing terror across the map. No, this is not The Shiek from our youth, and this is not The Iron Shiek fom the WWF days. This is The Shiek from, well, the new NWA. Different Shiek, same act! Yep! The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Team 3D Should Sign With.....
According to Wrestleview.Com, and The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Team 3D's contracts have run out with TNA. Of course, there are those in the WWE who want them to sign, which would lead to a DVD release. In this world of opinion, which are like A-holes, in everybody has one, let me put my opinion out there.
Since being with TNA, Team 3D has reminded me of the Dudley Boys of old ECW days. The rough and rowdy ways they had then, and not afraid to speak out in the ring is what I come to expect from these two. It is the perfect fit. The WWE, well, how many great wrestlers have gone there just to become mid-carders.
I am not sure how the business is run, but I would think that WWE may not let Bubba Ray and Devon run the wrestling school that they opened up while at TNA. And, I am sure that, with the PG standard that WWE is pushing, Team 3D/Dudley Boys would be limited in what they could do in ring wise, and mic wise as well.
I am only a wrestling fan, and having a Dudley Boys DVD would be awesome. However, I would rather watch Team 3D in TNA. At least they can be who they are, and that is the greatest tag team in the history of pro wrestling. Period!

So That's What He Thinks, Huh?
One of the joys of Direct TV (cheap plug) is discovering new wrestling programs. Ring of Honor, or, ROH on HDNet, has been around for a while, but I just started watching it lately. This past Monday night, I was watching when Jim Cornette was interviewing ROH's version of a World Champion, Tyler Black. He must have had a corncob up his butt, when he said that there are some fans who don't come here to cheer anyone, they just come here to boo Tyler Black, tell him he sucks, and go online to talk about how they can't wait for him to lose the belt. The entire context can be found here.
This is thrown out to Tyler Black, and the other so-called champions of the other federations. When you "win" the world title, expect the fans of this day and age to get tired of you rather quickly. Today, the average fan's attention span is about five minutes. Today's wrestling fan expects a championship to change hands on a monthly basis. Wrestling fans, instead of pulling for the best wrestler, often go for the "Flavor Of The Month". So Tyler Black is upset when fans boo him and long for the day that he loses the title. Well Mr. Black, for your information, the fans have been like that since the begining.
Wrestling fans in my day would boo the champion when he came to town to face the territory's champion at the time. I grew up during the territory days, so I recall many popular champions who got jeered when they would go to a territory. It's the nature of the beast. It happens. You are nothing special Mr. Black. Join the club! Be lucky that you signed with WWE when you did, because in my day, you wouldn't have made it past the preliminary part of the card. At best, you are a mid-card wrestler, which will likely get you a 6 figure check from the WWE, or #1 contender to the TNA title.
