Not Like The Rest Of Us… Also Weed

Browsing through WWE.com, I couldn’t help but comment on a small bit written by Jim Ross in his recent Superstar-Of-The-Week column:

Randy Orton had a fine Vengeance and RAW, but his leering at Hulk’s daughter disqualified young, master Orton. Will Orton never learn? Doesn’t Randall watch VH 1’s Hogan Knows Best like the rest of us?

Now I don’t know about you, but last time I checked, the rest of us that I know of weren’t watching Hulk Hogan’s TV show. Which probably means that by not doing so, my respect for Randy Orton has gone up. Mind you, that isn’t saying much.

Also, RVD got caught for carrying weed, eh? Can’t say I’m surprised. So now as a result of their Wellness Policy, WWE has made it so RVD loses both his shiny belts; one of Mr. Copeland and the other to Mr. Show. On top of that, he gets suspended for thirty days. Oh yeah, Sabu was also busted too.

Could the lack of these two marquee performers do in ECW for good? Not really. After all, Vince is in control now so chances are he’ll screw up something with or without them along the way. Never did the phrase “going up in smoke” seem more appropriate than it does now.

I’ll have more thoughts in the upcoming Bite commentary, which should be up sometime next week.
