AL WILSON: "I dont know if it is just me Dawn, but do you feel a pulse?

DAWN MARIE "Oh God I dont know what's more Clammy - your hands or this angle!
===========================================================

"Necrophilia - The perfect example as to why viewership on Raw is almost 50%.

"Al Wilson" - The perfect example as to why viewership on Smackdown is down to almost record lows.

Could the two maybe be brough together?

This past week in the newsworld, exemplifies why the WWE will NEVER regain the success they had in the past.

I read a HHH interview done in Cincinnati where he speaks on why he is the Raw Champion. He stated that other Raw stars have not found their "niche". He also says that he believes he has.

With Jean Paul laying the "Smackdown" on Stephanie's "Candy Ass", and probably doing the same to Vince in a dark section in Stanford, HHH did not find his "niche". It was given to him. It was force fed to the fans since 1999. I will never forget, his return from his injury that kept him out almost a year. Within 2 weeks of his return, he has Title Shot after Title shot, and soon after - Title.

As long as HHH is "Sleeping with the enemy", and as long as Vince puts family before business, the hole will just go deeper and deeper. Notice how the McMahons and HHH are the most impossible interviews to get? And when one is done, it always leaves out the most important topics we all write about. And the interviewer usually kisses their ass so hard, they just dont have the balls to ask the questions live.

Al Wilson. I wonder how this man feels that NOONE that is a wrestling fan is entertained by him. I wonder how this man feels that EVERYONE that follows WWE is making fun of this man as well. And more important, I wonder how Torrie Wilson, daughter of Al, must be feeling.

Many people I know, including myself, think that one thing that may be feeling quite good during this angle, is Vince McMahon's Genitals.

This is Vince's second lame ass attempt to try and get the "Sugar Daddy" demographic. First, he tried using himself with Torrie Wilson and Trish on TV. It didnt work. Now, he uses Grandpa Wilson. It still doesnt work.

I never liked the angle in WCW when they had the "Heartattack" angle with Ric Flair. This time around, maybe we can see Al Wilson having sex with Dawn, and he gets a heartattack and drops dead. Then he'll be off TV. Unless they chose to have HHH screw him in a coffin and have Gay Necrophilia! Wouldnt that be something!

WWE can rattle all they want that their "Targeted Demorgraphic" is the 18-34 audience. If you examine the WWE since their downfall, they have tried to target many demographics.

They tried to entertain the Gay Demographic by hyping up the Billy & Chuck wedding - It Backfired.

They tried to interest the sports industry by incorporating WWE and the XFL. It didnt work.

They tried to add to their Male audience and Lesbians by having HLA. This ended up being Hokey, Lame, and Annoying.

They tried to gain the MTV demographic by starting Tough Enough. It didnt work.

They tried to gain publicity off of "Shock Value" TV with the Necrophilia angle. Obviously it didnt work.

They are trying to gain the Sugar Daddy audience again with Al Wilson. It is failing miserably.

I can tell you one demographic the WWE should try getting - The Wrestling Demographic.

Thanks for reading.
