The New Face of SD!

Last week's most notable event at SD! was Sheamus' face/tweener turn. It was a rather unexpected turn but a welcome one. Mark Henry's rampage was getting slightly monotonous, and after defeating two behmoths in the Big Show and Kane, taking them out of action (kayfabe), the story arc was going slightly over the top. However turning Sheamus and adding him to the equation only makes things interesting. Sheamus is a great brawler and has very entertaining matches. Turning him leads to more options in the number of feuds he could now have. Moreover Orton was so far the only notable face in SD!, after Christian's rather silly heel turn.

Coming to the main event I feel the story arc is really past its prime and getting on everybody's nerves. Christian's heel gimmick is rather weak, and I'd prefer him as a face vs Orton's tweener persona. Or, rather turn him into a devious heel that he played as "The Instant Classic" in TNA. This retake on Y2J's "whinning heel" gimmick is really not earning him any brownie points. And lets face it Orton's heel/tweener persona is far more entertaining than the current one. The thing about SD! is that it is WWE's "wrestling" show whereas Raw is the "entertainment" show. SD! does have a number of good wrestlers such as Bryan,Barrett,Rhodes so does it make sense to get guys from Raw to fight bouts when you could push people on the SD! roster itself?! 

Coming to the feud between Bryan and Barrett, I just can't wait for it. With Bryan already stating that he's not cashing in his Mitb shot at the world title anytime before Wrestlemania, we're going to see WWE push him alot until he is ready for the main event scene. And what better way than to feud with Barrett?! Now Wade's lost alot of heat since coming in from Raw, The Corre didn't really work out as expected and people were anticipating him to win Mitb, however that didnt happen as well. Now, we all are aware of both these wrestlers true ability in the ring, they just need to work on a few things before they're in the main event scenario. Hoping this feud turns into a memoriable one.

Thats all for this week will be back again next week. Please do leave your comments on any thoughts you'd like to share with me.
