Zmans Wrestling Top 10 of the Week

1. Big props to The Brian Kendrick. Although he just gave a promo this week, it was still quite entertaining. I am happy to see him finally get his due. And he does look like Leo DiCaprio, so whoever has been making that claim has been correct.

2. I am also glad to see Shelton Benjamin finally step into the role of a pseudo main eventer. He has definitely earned his spot and it is good to see raw talent be rewarded. He would be my pick to win the Smackdown Scramble Match at Unforgiven.

3. Speaking of, since it doesnt look like Khali will leave Triple H alone, here is how I see things playing out. Benjamin or MVP wins the title at Unforgiven due to interference. Triple H faces Khali at Cyber Sunday with the implications that the loser must retire. HHH wins and Khali goes back home to get surgery he needs and to be retired from the WWE.

4. I'm also pulling for a Big Show-Undertaker match. I do not want to see Taker in the world title picture. He doesn't need it at this stage in his career and should let others get a shot with the belt.

5. Primo Colon is very very bland. The best thing they can do for him is either team him up with his brother or add him to the Dibiase/Rhodes stable for powerful sons. Hell that's what they should have been doing all along since they have Deuce (son of Snuka) on the roster. It'd be pretty cool to see some kind of second generation stable like that.

6. The more I think about it, the more it should have been William Regal in the main event slot at Unforgiven over Rey Mysterio. I love Mysterio, but they are ruining a perfectly good storyline with Kane by having him come back so soon. Maybe have him make a surprise appearance to fight Kane then and let the better wrestler Regal in the slot for the finals, especially to add new blood to the main event picture.

7. I have been watching late night AWA lately, and boy it is rough to watch the end of that company. The wrestling stinks and all the good wrestlers were taken away by the WWF or WCW. And then you had Zybysko and Baron Von Raschke talking about the Gulf War in horrible terms. No wonder the company folded so soon after.

8. Ill watch a Kimbo Slice - Ken Shamrock fight. The first Kimbo slice was one of the grossest things I have ever seen in my life, but put him a ring with the world's most dangerous man and I am excited to see what transpires.

9. Ok, Booker T needs to settle on an accent. Is he Spanish, Indian, or British now? Personally I loved his British accent with King Bookah! He should also be TNA Champ. Get the belt off Joe already, it's becoming stale. Oh and memo to TNA, we saw this New vs Old storyline at the end of WCW, and look what happened with that company.

10. Anyone heard from Elijah Burke? He had a ton of potential and I would have loved to see him at a higher stage today, but it seems like he fell back into the cracks of the WWE. Same goes for Chuck Palumbo, Paul London, and DH Smith.
