If anything he's always displayed that he's quite articulate and verbose. He just doesn't know how to control that into regulary entertaining promos. He ends up just enganging in bizarre rhymes. But I can't remember the last time I heard him struggle over one of those rhymes. It was basically typical Monty (as angsty said). They even got a TNA jobber in there for him. I'm guessing that was intentional to try and sell the Pounce with someone who knew how to take it (as dragon said). The Pounce was pretty good but its still the same move it always was. Its going to have some great versions of it, some horrible versions of it, and the rest are probably going to fall in the underwhelming area. And after you see the 10th one you'll be over it. Then again, I bet CM Punk flies across the ring from it. I never hated the Pounce like lots do as long as its not a finisher. Then again I'm not sure an arm bar is best replacement. I saw him and immediatelly envisioned Craig Pitbull Pitman. I'm guessing the name change was just to try and seperate him from TNA as much as possible (as Shaggy said) but they kept the Alpha Male moniker because its what he is. Honestly, I never hated that either. I loved it once upon a time. And he definitely kept it a little lower key then he is inclined to in that promo. I didn't see him rubbing his forehead on the ropes. There was no "PERIOD!" Nothing resembling a "rhinocephant." Still, I was amused that Monty cut the promo like we were supposed to recognize him as coming from that other place while WWE went out of their way to ignore TNA. Part of me almost enjoyed the show this week. CM Punk vs Matt Striker, Elijah Burke, and Monty Brown... not a horrible group of guys to work with. Kinda like watching Velocity. Main event sucked me out of it though. Actually the Kevin Thorne promo where he tried to convince us he'd win the royal rumble sucked me out (no pun intended). So I need opinions. Has ECW finally ended a feud? Either the Punk/Holly or Dreamer/Khali ones? Neither ended in a satisfying manner. In both cases the feud consisted of "heel beats down face regularly through nefarious means or brute force, face keeps coming back,... heel wins clean." But ending in a "satisfying manner" is probably secondary to a feud just ending in a logical manner. And I suppose both would qualify as logical (from a kayfabe sense, not booking). Khali and Holly apparently just proved themselves completely and wholly better than Punk and Dreamer. I'm leaning towards them being put in the same category as Sabu/Big Show or Punk/Knox. I'd like to keep saying ECW has yet to properly end a feud. Disable smileys? Use signature? Turn BBCode off?
