The Irish Whip

One Irish fan's perspective on the weird wide world of professional wrestling

Juvi in the Good Books (and Some Fantasy Booking)

The WWE higher-ups, according to the Pro Wrestling Torch, are very high on Juventud Guerrera at the moment, "despite his reputation for being a troublemaker" (which so far in his tenure with the E has included stealing other wrestlers' moves; and oiling up his torso so he looks better on camera, for the ladies). One wonders, though, why they would saddle him with such a blatantly racist gimmick if they think so highly of him?

While we're on the subject, here's what I'd do with the Mexicools. First, I'd scrap that whole gimmick. I'd rename the trio 'Latino Heat', and set them up as henchmen for Eddie Guerrero. Their presence could make the whole Rey Rey/Guerrero angle slightly bearable; Eddie could call them 'mi familia' or whatnot, they could interfere in his matches and treat him like a hero.

Not only that, but they could provide Eddie with a guarantee in his match against Rey at SummerSlam, turning the feud on its head and making Misterio the real underdog. With everything to lose, and a gauntlet of three goons at ringside to run, Rey Misterio might actually face a challenge that people could get behind.

But, unfortunately, I'm not a writer for the WWE. And even if I was, something tells me Stephanie McMahon would shoot down my ideas.
