Hey, don’t go dissing Crash Holly… our boy Elroy. Or Spike Dudley. Me and my circle of wrestling nuts love him. Why? Because he doesn’t _look_ like a wrestler (actually, he’s an English teacher), but he _still_ gets out there and kicks ass.

And the “Little Show” thing is good for a laugh.

Ooh-ooh and William Regal he’s British, right? Also he is the only Brit in the WWF, right? And he’s a snobby, elitist tea-toadler, right? So everyone should rally against the WWF for being prejudice towards the English. Right?

[/sarcasm]

Or maybe people shouldn’t comment on stuff they (by their own admission) don’t know about.

Wait, wait, wait. Are you saying that some fans. . . like comedy? That they don’t expect or want every wrestler to be a legitimate badass who kicks someones ass just for looking at them crosseyed? NNooooooOO!!! My head hurts, HULK SMASH! 😃

Honestly I like Crash Holly and I think most all of the wrestlers I mentioned have a lot of potential. The WWF has 8 Hours of TV programming every week, but for whatever reason they choose to focus on about 1/8 of their roster rather than giving guys like Crash Holly or Essa Rios a chance to really get out and wow the fans. Which is another thing that kind of amazes me about Kaientai, how they have managed to get over without much exposure.
