I'm so glad I'm not the only one. Now I know I'm not insane. I wouldn't call you insane for disliking K-Fed, I'd call you insane for having 15,000 posts and having 50% of them be about how much K-Fed sucks and you can't believe others like him. It's called (say it with me) "diff-er-ent tas-tes." I don't like that chick you have in your avatar, but I wont go on and on and on and on and on and on and on (etc) about how much I dislike him and can't believe you *gasp* don't agree with me. Yeah. Anyway. K-Fed actually surprised me. What I figured would be a segment I'd be completely uninterested in and walk away from turned into a really decent throw-away angle. K-Fed's heel mannerisms are great. When his scrawny ass talks smack, you know it'd take nothing to beat him down. THAT'S WHAT A HEEL DOES! When he pinned John Cena, throwing the money out the way he did won me over. Everyone knows his money came from Britney and it touches a nerve. THAT'S WHAT A HEEL DOES! I welcome him back at any time. I'd not like to see him getting title shots or PPV matches, but stick him with another wrestler or have him manipulate a diva and I'd be hooked. First things first. I know for a fact that nowhere near 50 percent of my posts are about Federline. I post about him when he's relavent and not otherwise. Don't assume, and please, PLEASE, don't talk down to me with that "THAT'S WHAT A HEEL DOES" bullshit. I know exactly what a heel does.

I agree, I didn't expect anything from K-Fed when he first appeared but he surprised the hell out of me and became one of the more watchable people on RAW. Throwing the money on Cena was an excellent touch. Little things like that are needed more ften.

Hey Captain Jack as I recall you do say um a lot Promo's are probably a lot harder then they look and for a lot of wrestlers it does seem forced. K-fed really is natural at it. Face it some people will will like him,some people will hate him and some people will hate him kayfabe wise. Just change the channel if he's that bad If you are refering to my Jack videos, I was doing improv while in character (while Fed-Ex was playing himself with prewritten lines). I wasn't fed lines from a cue card. And that's the problem, if you drive people change the channel then you are failing. I mean look, I'm a loyal WWE fan. But this is pissing me off to the point that I will almost spot watching RAW. All for the sake of getting some fans that won't watch anymore than a quick segment.

Throwing the money on Cena was an excellent touch. Little things like that are needed more ften. All of which I imagine he was told to do before. It isn't hard to imagine that he went over the match again and again during his "training". Even a fool can look good with rehearsing a few times.

For ever 1 loyal WWE fan that if turned off by this, In vince's mind, there's 5 more wanting to see this. You know as well as I do that vince doesn't care about the "loyal" fans. And there is far worse crap on raw than KFed.

He's already given the rub to Melina and Nitro. He's made Cena an even bigger babyface than he already was. He made for good TV when he was on Raw (and it was one of the few things worth watching on Raw). These all help im the long term. This means he has already helped out so far and I'm sure he'll only help out even more. Again, all he did was make WWE a laughing stock to the media and made potential fans turn away. And piss off wrestling loyalist. That's a terrible long term effect compared to a tiny bit of good ratings. I know a few people who watched RAW just because they wanted to see K-Fed get his ass kicked. These few people were not wrestling fans. And as far as making wrestling a media laughing stock, WWE doesn't need the help. Look at the Trump angle so far for example.

And I'm willing to bet that those few people have never watched an episode of Raw since that episode, so it had no effect past that night. As for the second part, I completely agree.

To calm things down, let's all agree that Heel Eugene and Trump/Rosie were absolutely horrible.

I don't know why they expected people to boo a mentally handicapped person, kayfabe or not.

Throwing the money on Cena was an excellent touch. Little things like that are needed more ften. He isn't someone who has been working on this for years either. He is someone who walked in the door and showed that he has better mic skills than most of the roster. People should appreciate the fact that he came in to a business we all love (most of us anyway), was very respectful to it, respectful backstage, impressed a lot of people, and was more than willing to look the fool. That is a HELL of a lot more than any other celebrities would do. And yes, if he is on covers of US Weekly and rumor mags, he is a celeb. How big his celebrity is is up to you. No one said they want him to decisively beat any trained wrestlers. No one wants him winning titles. No one expects him to perform a technical masterpiece. People expect him to be entertaining. In WWE 2007, he is a great sports entertainer. One of the best they've had so far this year.

So what if he's respectful.
He's not a lover of the business and he's only doing this to get publicity because his singing career when down the crapper.
