The Wrestling Matt, Vol. I

Greetings, wrestling fans. Welcome to The Wrestling Matt, one man's take on the latest story lines and backstage TNA/WWE rumors.

What would I like to see tagged in for further development? What should be tapped out immediately before it gets even worse? Let's find out. On to the column ...

Tap out: Backstage grumblings about ECW Extreme Strip Poker. Give me a break. Anyone involved with the WWE - from go-fers to main events - knows that it's about hot women almost as much as in-ring action. My goodness, they tried to get ratings from nude WWE Divas?!? Big shocker.

Tag in: Kelly Kelly. While we're on the topic of divas - or "vixens," as the're trying to dub ECW women - I never thought it would get any more beautiful than Torrie Wilson. And I still don't. But Kelly-squared is at least giving Mrs. Billy Kidman a run for her mesmerizing money.

Tag in: The Edge/Orton alliance on RAW. It's nice to see an old story line (the Triple H attack on Orton) actually be used to set up a new angle. All true fans ask for is consistency and a long-term plan with angles. We've got one here.

Tag out: The debut of Kurt Angle in TNA. Spoiler alert, but Angle will give a supposedly in-depth interview tonight about why he left the WWE and joined TNA. But anyone who cares has already read this online - and other fans just wanna see the guy in the ring. You've got the best wrester in the business, TNA, put those skills to use as soon as you can.

That's all for today. Thanks for reading. If you have any feedback - or would like to post a column of your own - email me at: matt@thewrestlingpost.com
