Randy Orton locker room hero is the UN-NAMED DEFENDER TO THE RESCUE! Don't forget his Kliq 2.0, they fight the power together! Oh wait, aren't most of them released now? Well, Randy and some other guy might convince them. Seriously though, I think the unnamed wrestler should really take it up with Chavo himself since I doubt he minds that he's getting constant TV time and heat in his matches. The "treatment" of Chavo I have no problem with, since he's done far worse; but with that said I would love to see this feud end sometime soon. I have found it pretty entertaining at times I admit, but if they're not going to shift the focus on to Evan soon it will end up being a huge waste. Masters is still there, although I doubt he has much actual influence.

An online petition got Blue Meanie rehired back in his WWE days. Well I doubt this will be of any effect. The crowds like it, so unless they start booing Hornswoggle, there's no reason why it should go anywhere. Was there any proof that the petition was the cause of it? The crowd for that Bullrope Match didn't seem to like it that much. Definately quieter than any crowd has been thus far for this never ending epic feud between a midget and a jobber

If it's that bad just wait till the segment's over and watch the rest of the show.

Nothing worse then old men thinking they have their finger on the pulse of what kids want to watch. That said, I don't care about "the kids". And according to WWE's Nielsen numbers, they aren't watching in droves anyway on Monday nights. (Average age is 40 for RAW). As for the Horny/Chavo feud, it was ok and harmless at first, but like everything in WWE these days, they've overplayed it and beat it to death to the point of nausea. WWE's comedy booking is like that episode of Family Guy where he stubs his knee.

I don't watch Raw save for the odd clip on youtube but when I saw in some reports it said the crowd seemed quieter I checked it out and sure enough they are. If the best thing you can say about a segment is that it doesn't take up a lot of time it suggests it is not the best.

I think the scary thing is...what else do they do with Hornswoggle? Send him to rule King's Landing in my lord father's stead?Only if Evan Bourne changes his name to Bronn of the Blackwater. Make Hornswoggle a commentator. It'd be awesome.

Even people who thought this was funny in the beginning have to admit its getting old by now. Keeping this gimmick going this long is not gonna help them fight the NFL head to head, do something more original and surprising.

I will gently remind the defenders of this angle that just because it's written with a certain age group in mind doesn't mean its appeal has to consist entirely of that age group.
I realize WWE has gone TV-PG, but this is just plain TV-Y7.

This has seriously gotten old. Hornswoggle lost all meaning when he stopped being a part of the Finlayverse, and really, his character is kind of confusing. He was a figment of Finlay's imagination, then he was a leprechaun, then he was a child, now what the hell is he, aside from the guy that humiliates Chavo? Somehow, a little person in his 30s with a nasty beard is kid-friendly, since he's obviously being aimed at the kid audience. It's lame, it's boring, and I don't care if the kids like it, it's time for the feud between Chavo and Bourne to start.

The sad thing is, I actually liked Horny when he was Little Bastard. The Chavo/Honry feud was so repetitve and unwatchable that its a big part of why I no longer watch RAW.

If the best thing you can say about a segment is that it doesn't take up a lot of time it suggests it is not the best. I never said it was the best, not even close and as I mentioned in an previous thread I don't even care about this feud at all. Also, the segment not being the best to you isn't indicative of how everyone else feels or should feel. If you don't like it, that is your right I never once said you had to enjoy it. I'm just saying that you are in the minority and Vince isn't catering to the minority and isn't likely to start now. If the fans continue to show disinterest or completely s*** all over it on a weekly basis, then yes it's time to pull the plug, otherwise it's not that serious. I didn't know you don't watch Raw, still to those who do if the segment is that much of a bother, just don't watch it. No one is forcing you to.

There's only one way for the feud to truly end.
Have a match at the Hammerstein Ballroom.

WWE could care less about a fan petition. They'll keep it going as long as they want. I recommended during the raw thread that everyone should contact everyone they know who is going to a raw event and boo the crap out of it the entire segment. At some point they have to get the message. On the other hand, this is mcmahon we are talking about so you are probably right.
