MJ

Welcome to my first nonwrestling post. But don't worry there will be plenty of wrestling news in the future.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to talk about Michael Jackson.
I've always loved his music and that's what I know him for. And I hope everyone else feels the same.
I have a theory. Tell me if you think I'm crazy, but MTV was originally designed to be Music Television. Eventually at some point MTV drifted away from their roots and today rarely show music videos. And while I'm sure there are other factors but 1 of those factors I truly believe is that Michael Jackson wasn't only the King of Pop but the King of Music Videos. With what most consider the biggest of all-time Thriller, and Smooth Criminal, Black or White, Billie Jean, Beat It, Bad, Remember the Time, and could go on and on and on. and when his popularity declined it caused music videos as a whole go down and that could be why MTV has changed their format.

Another point I wanted to make was I've been hearing people criticize him for how his popularity went down. I even heard some say that the Bad album was a disappointment. But I mean let's get real here. Thriller was the biggest album ever. There was no way to actually top that in sales. But it did have more #1 singles than Thriller did. Then when Dangerous his popularity slipped a little more. But so what?! the debut single from that, Black or White was the #1 song for 7 weeks the exact same amount of time Billie Jean was #1 when it first came out. And he still had I believe 5 more top 10 hits from Dangerous. So I don't believe someone can call it a failure. It just the way things go. Once you reach the top it's natural to slowly but surely decline a little and there's nothing wrong with that.
Take a look at movies. Wouldn't you say that 90% of the time the original is usually the best then the sequels while maybe not quite as good but still good enough?

Or is it just me?

Comings and Goings

Some big changes have taken place just in the past few weeks Mr. Kennedy made his return then got his release from the WWE and is already rumored to be negotiating with WWE's rival company TNA. And he's not the only one Umaga also made his long awaited return only to get released after his scheduled Samoan strap match last Sunday against CM Punk. Vickie Guererro Raw's GM sent her notice to the WWE that she was leaving the company to spend more time with her kids. And it is also being said that Rey Mysterio is unhappy and could possibly be leaving. However that's not set in stone yet. Jeff Hardy, one of the most popular stars in WWE, it was recently said that he could be leaving by the end of the summer.
So with a lot of important people leaving that means a lot of replacements too. Right now the one I'm hearing most about coming back is Chris Masters, who was let go due to a steroid scandal. I always liked him though. I'm glad he's coming back. If hated everybody who did steroids I wouldn't be a wrestling fan. Chances are more are guilty of doing it that we know about. For instance it is believed by some that Batista's current injury is a cover up for his suspension for using steroids. I don't know. I'm just telling you what I heard!
