This week, we saw the slow development take place of something that could just be the best since Degeneration X or Evolution. The team of the third and second generation superstars....Randy Orton....tag team champions, Ted DiBiase Jr. and Cody Rhodes, and the new man in the fray, Manu. This group, if it does every single thing right on the money, could be the biggest group in the world of professional wrestling history....Four Horsemen....DX...and, the group that has my vote, the Right to Censor (DON'T FIRE STEVIE!). But this group is stacked, STACKED, with Grade A talent, or people who look good in the ring, now the WWE has to roll with this. They can't just lose the luster that they built up with the whole Randy Orton-Priceless feud, unless DiBiase-Rhodes team or Orton are turning face, which would be the biggest mistake possible.
But you think about it, this "tough love" isn't the first time we have seen this one. Hell, Cody Rhodes knows what I am talking about. He was in this whole scuffle with Hardcore Holly, sly vet that hasn't done anything since the feud with Rhodes, and every week...the two scuffled and feuded and blah-dee bloop-pah and all of that crap. SO Rhodes know what this road will take you. He knows how the angle is supposed to turn out and, you know, having a World champion do the slapping and bitching and moaning is a lot better then the guy they named "Sparkplug" in the early 90s. Having Randy Orton, the youngest WWE champ in HISTORY (even though the man that held that name before....is gettin' his arse handed to him in UFC) is the best guide to have these three learn stuff from. Hell if the WWE and RAW were smart, bring Nattie in to join the fun and you got yourself a force to be reckoned with.
All in all, this is probably going to turn out as a last ditch egging in the face of the WWE..dangling something epic in front of us and then take it away and throw an epic fail in our faces. But time will tell and that is why, my little baby elephants (maybe you will be a second generation elephant one day), that's why they are the new edition to the Elephant in the Ring!
Oh, and little elephants? A little update on our story on Santino Marella. Go to Facebook at search for the "Honk-A-Meter", it's comedy gold!
