| ReY LeAvEs sMaCkDoWn: GooD tHiNg oR BaD tHiNg??
So he loses to Chavo and is "off" Smackdown now...definitely a good thing in my book. Maybe it's because I'm not a ten year old kid, or of Hispanic descent, but the novelty of seeing Rey's matches really wore off for me after the first month or two he was on WWE programming. He had some moves that a lot of now-WCW fans would go crazy for, but he's not a constant innovator. Outside of that, his character had no real depth (I mean, Dominick, are you kidding me?) and has feasted off the main event spotlight as a result of Eddie's death.
The constant Eddie references and resulting programs MAY actually just disappear for awhile, which is one of the things I think had left fans with a bad taste in their mouths in regards to Smackdown. Maybe with him being out I'll gain some appreciation for him, but I am SO sick of the "619" at this point that that'll be a far stretch. He's as generic and white bread a character as they come...it's a SHAME that when Mark Henry was assaulting him they never once had him go after the mask...that alone could've been a good focal point for a fued of notority. |
