wait so HHH vaguely says something quasi racist in passing about Booker's hair in a fued with Booker which could be taken in many ways pegs him as a racist for years, but Christian straight up calls them nappy headed hoes and nothing?

Not that I find the comment racist, but seriously, people wouldn't let up on it for years with the H, but absolutely no one's bothered by it from Christian?

It's bias. Christian could bang the mothers of the IWC and they'd still love him.

...wow. I know jumping Kaz into the main event quickly might be a bad idea but to have him win a tournament, beating Christian in his "signature match" and then blow off his shot on a goddamn TV taping?

ah well, the show seems not great, not terrible...just all right.

Well, they can play up Angle being an advantageous heel by claiming that he demanded that Kaz take his shot that night, keep Kaz as the guy that wont back down anymore (or have they ignored that part of the Serotonin stuff?) despite his injuries from the ladder match. With Kaz getting a good showing in during the match, maybe they get people to thinking that if he was completely healthy that he could have won.

I mean it not like he would get his shot on a PPV anyway (barring some sort of once in a lifetime epic main event).

From the sounds of the spoilers this will be the first iMPACT! I watch since the BFG build up.

Ive said this before, but as much as I like Kaz and am glad hes getting a push, its ridiculous to have him headline a PPV at this point.

do you seriously think many people would order the pay per view when the main event is relatively unknown? i am glad i get to see kaz/kurt free and just because he didn't win the belt doesn't mean his push is over. it took him from a lower midcarder to upper mid pretty quickly.

Ok, let me try and put it this way.

The payoff was not indicative of the buildup. After a metoric rise like that and winning a tournament against arguably the top heel in the company (save for Angle), to then just throw out the match on free TV, it doesn't quite add up.

And I didn't say anything about him not getting the belt. I didn't ever expect him to.

Logic in wrestling. Heels taking advantage of the courageous face? Heel champions squeaking out a win but making a challenger look credible.

*has to sit down*

Seriously.. if this kind of logic is used.. I may just shed tears of joy because I miss things like that. Flair as champ in WCW is the best example of this.. he made the BOOTYMAN look like a credible World Title threat. .. .THE BOOTYMAN!!!!!!!!!!

well maybe we just have different definitions of meteoric rise. to me this was not a meteoric rise. it was a tournament, and he beat a top guy in the company in the finals. that is just a push in my books. i could understand being upset if this whole kaz push had been building up for a while but in reality it came out of the blue. i don't see why people are upset this isn't on a pay per view when A. kaz isn't that big of a draw yet B. impact matches have been going to relatively good lengths lately. i am just happy he is getting pushed up the card because he deserves it. i am not going to nit pick on where his first main event match takes place.

Ok fine. I'll find something smurfing positive from this since obviously what I think isn't making any sense to anybody but me therefore it is stupid, Joe's back in the main event (kinda). At least that's something positive. I wish I could better articulate at this point why I have a major hangup with what they did to Kaz, but hey, maybe i'm just completely batshit insane
