So why am I so upset? It's the way he won. It was bullshit. Lame turns on his unlikely tag team partner, Cryvia. That allows Taker to plant Crock with the Last Ride for the easy 3. On the one hand there is this thought. Crock would have done the same thing in UT's place. But there is this lingering sick feeling of it didn't have to be this way. I could have over looked it if it weren't for Lame, Fatass, and Taker all standing around looking at each other. That leaves the door wide open for the UT set up The Peon's Chump comments. Although something about Taker a heel, now, doesn't seem right either. As Dorothy said in her WTF? post, and if I may elaborate on it, this whole match was yet another set up. Both Crock and Taker were the victims. Seeing as Vince did change the tag partners at the last minute. He knew something would go wrong. His primary goal seemed to be to exploit Taker and Crock's on again off again hatred for each other. Which was instigated on Smackdown by the eternal ingrate, Crocky. What was his problem? Poor DooAin, he's pissed cause UT didn't hand him another win. He gets up in UT's face Thursday and starts bitching. Now tonight he whines Taker can't be trusted. Back up here. All UT has done since he helped him get the title back is be there for Crock. And that is a man who can't be trusted? What about Cryvia? He's rarely returned the favor. He rants and raves at UT on Smackdown for what, trying to win a match the same way Rock was. Again as Dorothy said, Crock will complain about what UT did, maybe demand as match. Back to the topic at hand. If McFuckoff's plan to get Crock and Taker after each other, he knew for certain either Rikishi or Lame would snap and attack one or both of the faces. So Vince got what he wanted twice. Rock will be pissed at UT, who did NOTHING wrong, because of Lame. It made UT look like the bad guy here. And he isn't. I don't see Taker going heel. Hopefully it will play out as a set up. The ultimate, and this is far fetched, would be Rock was involved in this. While everyone is looking at UT as the heel, it is revealed after Crock secures as spot in the title match at WM17 and his opponent turns out to be Asstin that Crock had a hand in it. After all, the marks need to know who to boo and who to cheer. Someone would have to turn for that small feud. Rock turning heel is a long shot I know. Since it seems like the WWF maybe leaning towards HHH/Asstin. Taker needs a new finisher. In 8 months we have seen the fake Fagle, Regal, and now Crock seemingly worm their way out of the initial attempt to be powerbombed. That didn't happen as often with the Tombstone. Now that UT doesn't use the Tombstone, he gives us teasers. What happens, the guy draped over Taker's shoulder's slips out. So now we are expected to believe if he ever uses the Tombstone again they guy doesn't see it coming. Point being, with people slipping out it makes it look like UT can't execute the move. Yes, he hits it more often then not, but when his opponent counters, it makes Taker look like he can't pull it off. Then he goes for it a second time. If the guy saw it coming the first time, why didn't he see it happening again? Thought UT was going to do something else? I know UT will land it when the bookers say, and thinking the guy countered is suppose to make the match more exciting. Tonight sucked and blew all at the same time. I am looking forward to a spoiler. Look loyal readers, we have spell check now. No more errors.
