"Confused"

Here's the last couple of paragraphs of WrestleZone's report on Heat last week, where my faves Scotty and Albert faced the Dudley Boyz:

Albert knocks BuhBuh over the top, and then they slam into D-Von in the corner. BuhBuh runs in and knocks Albert outside, but Scotty does the same to BuhBuh. Stacy runs in and pulls down Scotty's pants, so Albert climbs back in and gives her the Giant Swing.

Albert tosses BuhBuh off the top, allowing Scotty to hit the facebuster and the Worm, followed by Albert's vertical splash. Scotty baseball slides D-Von as Albert pins 1-2-3!

_______________

Now, at No Way Out Scotty and Albert came out first to quite a few boos (b******s), and then lost cleanly to Christian and Lance Storm in around 2 minutes, who aren't even a proper tag team.

And yet, on Heat, they CLEANLY bet the most successful tag team ever! In the words of the Hurricane, wassup with dat?

They did that with Jericho before Vengeance. He was pinned clean by Stone Cold the Raw before ad everyone said he had no chance, then he won. Becuase the WWF tends to go with the person you least expect what they think is unpredictable is actually predictable.

The great thing about the tag team division is that it's so competitive. Cheating is difficult to identify so clean wins occur often. The tag team division is starting to shape up with Scotty and Albert and Chuck and Billy forming coherent tag teams. I would still like to see a young tag team of unknowns to come in and make their breakthrough.

It isn't going to be Angle vs Jericho...

It's very annoying to watch this happen, but if it didn't the WWF would lose a lot of it's viewers, because nobody wants to see Triple H win day in and day out without a loss, because that's boring. Quite a lot of the time, the Smackdown before said Pay-Per-View, the two main eventers just beat the hell out of each other, with one leaving the other one bloody and beaten. I've noticed a pattern in the past 3 or 4 years, that the person who is left bloodied and beaten normally wins. Also, if someone wins two straight matches against an opponent, the feud finishes. You can tell when Y2J is going to lose, because he walks down the ramp in less than 1 minute. If he wins, he walks down a lot slower. Just a tidbit there.

It shows that Christian and Lance Storm rule :-D

It won't be Angle vs Y2J, that would be suicide

I'm sure they'll do what they did the year before last, and bring in one or two people at the last minute (most likely HHH)

'Boring'

That is the reason that I don't want to see those two A- holes in a WM main event. Neither do the WWF fans, bar the odd few who can't spell BEAT (Yes Ant:)

Looks like The Dudleys have been aked to start helping put other teams across...which is nice...just what we need...a heel version of the APA :|

That always happens.

Look at Angle. Around Summerslam he was destroying Austin but now he can barely defeat anyone without cheating.

Same with Jericho. He could beat Benoit and Angle but now look at him.

Bonus boy?

Crazy

As for Scotty and Albert, yeah that kind of thing will always happen

The only heels who couldn't be beaten by the lower guys were the big guys like Kane, Big Show, and of course, HHH
