What's up, ladies and gentleman of the TWF? I'm back again for another shot of the Lowdown, and as promised, a Primetime edition. So let's down a few, and get on with it.
>Sean O'Haire seems to have gone to the Jake "The Snake" Roberts school of mind games. Although, I don't see the point of taking Rob Van Dam's gear at Payback. How did that mess with his mind? I guess that was the point, get everyone confused. Whatever his tactics, they seem to work, since he's still the Intercontinental Champion. Is it just me, or does O'Haire give anyone else the creeps? I'd trust him about as far as Michael Cole could throw him.
>La Familia is quickly becoming a force on Primetime. (Anyone notice the similarity between La Familia and WWE's Mexicools? I thought so.) They are a group of talented Lightheavyweights, with Super Crazy already taking the Lightheavyweight title from Paul London. I just think these guys have seen "Blood In, Blood Out" too many times. Put away the DVD players, vatos!
>That Hell in a Cell match at Payback was brutal. Nails and Jordan Rockwell beat the hell (no pun intended) out of each other. There's a saying about Hell in a Cell that you'll never be the same once you go through one. I think that applies especially true for these two competitors. Nails had his mask removed, and Rockwell found out that the man who has been tormenting him is a figure from his past. I'm sure this issue is far from over.
>Luther Reigns is beginning to remind me of the jealous girlfriend who constantly needs attention. He got his thong in a bunch when people started praising newcomer Chris Platoon for overcoming cancer and making it to the TWF. Yes, Luther, we know you are a tough S.O.B. We know all that you've been through, and we respect you for it. You're not the only one in this company to almost have his life taken away, so don't get your feelings hurt if we highlight that as well.
>Anyone who underestimates Ric Flair, even now that he's in his mid-50's, should have his head examined. Mike Cirianni made that mistake at Payback, and tapped to the Figure Four Leglock for that mistake. Axl Irvin didn't learn anything from Cirianni's mistake and he got defeated as well. Flair seems to be impressed by Irvin and might have him sit under his learning tree soon. He could have no better teacher than the "Dirtiest Player in the Game."
>Randy Orton seems to have a lot of people pissed off at him these days. Edge is pissed because Orton has "stolen his title shot" from him. Batista doesn't seem to be happy that his running buddy has the shot. Orton better watch his back, with friends like he's got, he doesn't need any more enemies.
>Speaking of Edge, he told me recently that he considers Christian to be the "Dutch Elm Disease on my Family Tree", whatever that meant. They couldn't co-exist at Payback, and I don't think they'll be able to co-exist when they take on Strife and Bahamut for the Tag team titles. If they can't focus, those two hosses will destroy them.
>It seems to me that an odd "Middle Eastern-French" civil war is being played out here in the TWF. Muhammad Hassan and Rene Dupree have waged war on Rome and Dylan Jansens because Rome and DJ have refused to take part in their "Anti-America" campaign. I almost jumped into the ring when Hassan, Dupree, Dawn Marie, and Tiger Ali Singh accosted Christina Milian at Payback. The beautiful Cuban-American singer was just trying to sing the National Anthem when those ingrates interrupted. I don't judge the Arab culture or the French based on those jerkoffs. I believe in my heart of hearts that they have good people there like Rome and DJ.
>Do you think Rampages' Money Mike has a problem with Rob Conway calling himself "The Money Man"? Just curious...
>Chaos Wolf is a hell of a talent, but his entrance music gets on my nerves. Ja Rule, Wolf? I thought you had taste.
Rumors and Rantings
>I hear rumblings of the sibling rivalry flaring up again between Rampages Stephanie McMahon and Primetimes' Shane McMahon, and it's all over who might get their hands on some up and comers in SMW and hot new free agents. Marty Wright aka the Boogeyman and C.M. Punk seem to be the main points of contention between the two. A nasty bidding war might already be taking place, as we speak.
>Hockey is back. Anyone outside of Canada care?
>I hear Christian is lobbying Shane-o-Mac for his own talk show on Primetime as an answer to Rampages' Money Pit. Shane is reportedly on the fence about it. Might "The Peep Show" see the light of day on Primetime? Time will tell.
>The ESPYs were handed out recently. Why weren't any TWF talent or TWF matches up for nominations? It's a damn Right Wing conspiracy, perpetuated by the liberal media! Yeah, you read that right.
Well, that does it for me this time around. Hope ya'll learned something, because that's what I'm here for. This has been Gabe Morales, and I'll see you at ringside. I'm Rick James, bitch!
