AJ vs Vickie – Maybe This Should Be About RESPECT

My partner here at DTRT Wrestling News, Trevor, was curious about what I thought of  his post dealing with what happened on Raw this past Monday between GM AJ Lee and Vickie Guerrero. So instead of commenting on the post, I thought I should lay out for everyone exactly what I think.

I’m not sure Trevor is going to be happy with me!

What you may or may not know about Trevor, and for our friends and affiliates who run AJ fan sites – please forgive me, but Trevor has got to be the biggest AJ fan in the entire world! Ask him what his ringtone is – never mind I’ll tell you, it’s AJ’s entrance music. Look at the number of posts with Trevor’s name and see what  percentage of them that has AJ as the subject matter. I love how much Trevor enjoys the “Crazy Chick”!

That said, where does the GM of RAW, who hasn’t even gotten her feet wet yet, get off attacking a well established professional like Vickie Guerrero? Check out this post and you’ll see what I think about Vickie.

EXXXCCCUUUSSE ME, but is there no respect from any of the younger generation for those who paved the way for them. First it’s CM Punk and his cowardly attack on Jerry “The King” Lawler, and now Miss Skippy pummels a member of the legendary Guerrero family.

I’ve been a fan of AJ and thought she was doing a pretty good job as the Raw GM. However, I have been disappointed that she didn’t address the Punk / Lawler issue and now this. Kinda strange there’s a lot of old vs young scenarios here and since I’m the “old” one of this site, I’ll be interested to see how my young sidekick Trevor takes up for the “sweet and innocent” AJ after this – who knows maybe he’ll send her a new teddy bear that needs tucked in.

Ed’s Perspective: Punk Is A Coward Part 2

If you missed it, last week after CM Punk kicked Jerry “The King” Lawler in the head, I wrote Ed’s Perspective: Punk Is A Coward . Well after watching the way RAW ended last night I have to write Part 2.

I make no bones about it. I’m a huge Lawler fan! I don’t apologize, I’m a wrestling fan first and foremost.

I am also sure that Lawler agreed to what went on during the main event and after the cage match between Lawler and Punk. But here are a few questions for all those who think what Punk is doing to Lawler is cool.

  • Why doesn’t Punk tell creative that he wants to do something sinister to, let’s say Kane? Or Broadus Clay? Or prove he’s really a man and take out Ryback?
  • Given that Lawler is probably more than willing to help put over Punk in his new “heel” role, why doesn’t creative say no thank you?

My partner here at DTRT Wrestling News, Trevor,  sent me this text after the show last night.

That ending to Raw was tough to watch – didn’t enjoy it – it looked like a young punk beating an old man. He  followed that text up with,  “If I was head of creative, I would have said thank you Mr. Lawler but going to decline” if Lawler really did agree to help put Punk over.

 

And that’s exactly what it was!  Lawler, 62,  was born on November 29, 1949. Punk is 33 born on October 26, 1978 . Lawler is nearly twice as old as Punk. How does it make WWE look to have their champion be nothing better than a street thug who takes advantage of old people.

I know those who want to move from the PG rating love this, but Trevor and I agree – this is not good and not enjoyable.

  • What does beating down a 62 year old retired wrestler do to get respect? Ok, I know this is scripted – I know they all realize what’s going to happen before they do it. I know that the more Punk demands respect and beats up an old guy that it’s all meant to make us hate CM Punk. I get it already! Lawler is at his best at this point in his career doing commentary. Let him do what he does best – and believe me, he can put Punk over as a heel just as good from the announce table as he can laying flat in the ring.

Now, had Raw ended with the end of the match – there would have been no need for Part 2 of this post. I enjoyed seeing Lawler pull down the strap. And for all the Punk pushers – I wonder how they feel about him getting bloodied by a man that will soon  qualify for Social Security?

So here’s the bottom line, so that I don’t have to write Part 3. It’s Punk vs Cena at Night of Champions. Let Punk do what he’s been doing to Lawler to Cena. Let him attack him backstage. Let GM AJ Lee either suspend or threaten to suspend him and watch him go postal on her (she might kick his ass though). But drop the Punk vs Lawler physical confrontations, unless of course you really want to go old school and let Lawler throw a fireball in Punk’s face – now that would even up the age difference a little.
