In 2 weeks he's made two wrestlers look pathetic by powering out of one finisher after it had been clamped in and making Benoit look like nothing (what's wrong with using the ropes to break the hold and then let him fight back and unleash his finisher?) and kicking straight out of Rhyno's gore.
The best type of push is to make the wrestler look strong while not making the guys he's going over look pathetic, which has happened in both instances. I've always thought it an unwritten rule in wrestling that if you get hit with the guy's finisher and he pins you straight away you don't get back up out of it because for every person that gets pinned by that finisher from there on it makes them also look pathetic to the other guy.
And another example of more great creative decisions when you have a Cruiserweight title match going on yet the camera is on some guy outside the ring for half of the match. It devalues the belt (although we all know what Vince thinks of anyone under 6 foot 3) and makes those 2 wrestlers seem like nothing even though both Funaki and Akio have more talent in their little finger then Carlito has in his whole body and afro.
God how has the WWE not gone out of business yet?

Speaking of making people look pathetic...The Return of the Big Show! If i remember...he went through 20 people...how weak did he make all those Lumberjacks look!

Well, my brain is stuffed to brimming with American and British Wrestling history, I couldn't find room for another country...

He definetly wasn't the first to use the Green Mist then, as I remember Muta using it in WCW back in the mid 80's.
So, therefore JR should have said Muta as Kabuki obviously copied the legend...

JR was right VM, he was called 'Great' i remember when he and the Great Muta formed their tag team called the Rising Suns
(hmmm standing up for JR, i feel dirty)
