Greetings fellow TWFers, It's Gabe Morales here w/ the LowDown on the Raw brand, so let's hit it!
>Los Guerreros are one of the most impressive tag teams I've ever seen in my years in the business, when they are working as a cohesive unit. When they are bickering, however, they leave themselves open for major upsets. I personally would like to see Eddie in particular go on his own and pursue the World Title. I've always felt he is the most underrated guy in the world today. He just seems like he was born to wrestle. Chavo is no slouch either. He could be the best cruiserweight in the TWF if he's focused.
>John Cena has a big mouth. I like that, reminds me of me. He can also back it up. If he can improve his chain wrestling, maybe add a submission hold to his repetoire, there's no limit to where he can go.
>Cyrus the Virus, tell me that guy don't need his ass kicked!
>Taylor Made may look like a Backstreet Boy reject, but the guy is all show, all go. He can give any top guy a run for his money when he's on.
>Am I the only one tired of people playing the race card when they feel like they're being wronged or held back? I'm not naive enough to think it's not going on, inside the wrestling world or out of it, I just think that if a wrestler or manager has to use racism as an excuse for not getting ahead in the world, then he or she is doing something wrong.
>Kurt Angle is what's right about our business. He's a consummate professional outside the ring, and is the complete package inside it. He can entertain you on the mic, and wrestle rings around you. That's why I think the best place to find new talent is in the amatuer wrestling field. We probably won't find another Angle, but I think there is quality talent there.
> I haven't heard much of Mordecai as far as in ring talent is concerned, but the feeling backstage is that he is causing a lot of sleepless nights for many Superstars already. He scares me, and I don't scare easy! I see him making the same sort of impact on the roster today, as the Undertaker did back in 1990.
>Speaking of the Deadman, I feel he sets a great example for the younger guys on the roster by being able to change with times in order to stick around. He changed his in ring style from a ruthless brawler, to a ruthless brawler with some pretty impressive submission and shootfighting skills. He may not be the cruiserweight in a big man's body anymore, but he can still find a way to hurt you.
>What is it about Christopher Nowinski's face that makes you want to punch it repeatedly?
That's all from me this time around, I'll be back with my next column in due time. I'll be giving you the LowDown on the PrimeTime Brand. Until then, this has been Gabe Morales, and I'll see you at ringside!
