In The 1/19/01 Last Ride I said it would come down to Fatass, Lame, Crock, and Asstin. Sure enough as of Taker's elimination at the hands of Rikishi, that's who was left. With egotists like Crock and Asstin left, The Gay One Silly Dumb wouldn't last much longer. No real stunner (get where I am gong with this) Fatass and Billy Gunn were soon gone. Crock was eliminated. Leaving Lame and The Texas Druken Disgrace. SA used his ever so varied aresenal of low blows and chairshots to take The Big Red Retard out. This whole invincible Lame routine is real fucking ridiculous. And all for not. All it took was a clothesline from asshole to beat Lame. Then again, it gave Loud Mouth someone that was not threat to his popularity to beat, and probably no one esle wanted to fall to SA. Crocky's ego wouldn't let him, UT has done it so much and must be sick of it. Having Rikishi win over SA would have been too much. Back to what was important. Taker drew #25. Much higher then I thought. Nothing great happened in this match. Vince has abused having someone like Mark Callaway who is willing to help others. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame Callaway for this. He's not in charge of the booking. This is out of his hands, despite what people may say about him having control. Think about that real hard. He came back to be the world's most popular jobber? Nope. It is times when UT can't win for losing that I wonder why he bothered returning at all. Sometimes, to look at him, he's wondering the same thing. Granted, no one has beaten him fairly or convincingly, one still has to think he would like to win and win fair. Not be screwed at all. Or see the screw job coming and stop it. Be the big dog. He was doing that until Asstin came back. Neither Loud Mouth or Cryvia can handle sharing the spotlight. Especially with someone like Taker who is a threat to their fragile popularity. End result, UT gets jobbed, fair loss or not. It is all one big nasty politic. Taker never wins when it comes to politics. Why? because he isn't some trend or fad that McFuckoff is currently raping. Something Mark Callaway has never let him do. That leaves the man a victim of politics. Vince simply doesn't give a fuck how much of his true talent he hurts. Not very good business practice Vince. Trying to appease other's egos and attempting to put people over is the issue here. Having UT smacked around isn't working. As a matter of fact, the people Vince is gladly bending over for, will be nothing soon. Where will he be then? Lost. Some of the best wrestlers in recent history have had their status increased by being squashed by The Phenom. It built Callaway's career.The career of Mick Foley was made. Shawn Michaels was helped by his feud with UT. Raven, Edge, and Christian have all been victimized and it hasn't hurt them. The list goes on. So see, overselling and jobbing The Undertaker isn't the real answer to the WWF's make people happy/put others over dilemma. SO STOP IT VINCE YA SICK FUCKER YA. I know I am blowing this way out if proportion. People still love UT. His shirt is still #1 over at shopzone. He got a big pop. More people wanted him to win that even Ass-Stain and Crocky Cryvia. Even though I knew he wouldn't win the rumble, it is still distressing. This was my last PPV. I refuse to shell out $30 for this rubbish. I can read results at newsboards, I can see the pics from the event in screen caps, and the WWF shows highlights 700 hundred times on Raw, Smackdown, LiveWire, Superstars, and even Heat if the program drags. I will still flick back and forth to be sure I do not miss the only reason to watch wrestling, The Undertaker. After all, watching the whole show is pointless. I am just not ordering PPVs anymore. Before I roll on, I have come to a conclusion. Who gives a fuck about how Taker wins anymore? A win is a win. If it is good enough for everybody else, it's good enough for UT. He will never stoop to the depths even the WWF's most popular faces have, so let him take advantange of any situation he can. Be the opportunist. Like Lame turning on Crock. Cryvia wouldn't have let the pin slip through his greasy fingers, why should Taker? No, I don't want him working with Lame again. Or anyone else I have protested in the past, but if they happen to give him a hand, Taker wins, I'll be fine.
