I'm with you on this DrOp. I think the manufactured versions we see on TV can never compare to the real thing. I think lots of people are going to be disappointed when Nash and Hogan have to actually, you know, wrestle.
And I'm not sure if this was a typo or something else you were trying to tell us:
"Speedy video clip montage starts and we are finally resented with the results of all her (30 minutes?) of hard work: Slave by Average Blonde, MTV's Becoming 2002."
I think I would have resented the results too!
He's Rolie Polie Olie - and in his world of curves and curls, he's the swellest kid around.
Whoooopps!! Like Brew, I probably need to get a better spell checker, although I *am* learning how to program MS Word to accept words like 'nWO' without turning them into "now."
That WAS a typo and *should* have said "presented" although I DO resent a LOT of MTV programming.
But, back to the point of the column: On the surface, I am as much a mark for this angle as anyone, but Hogan and Nash are proven clods in the ring without Flair, Savage, Michaels or Steamboat to take them to acceptable matches; and Hall will need to have decent matches to overcome his alcoholic ghosts (MHO, of course). We'll see. But, like I said, they will have a HARD time living up to their TV hype.
But hey, if it can happen in the SuperBowl, it can happen anywhere, right?
That really is true. After watching the nWo on Monday, they look like shells of their former wrestling selves. Nash is gonna friggin kill himself powerbombing people. He just gets them up and quickly gets the hell out of the way! I am not sure if Austin and Rock can carry these deadweights very far in a match.

Redsoxnation, Yes, I took into account that Gunn possessed all the problems listed at the top of the article. But if those were the only considerations for WWE success, I wouldn't have gone on to write the rest of the column.
