TSS:No Holds Barred

Alex spends a lot of time discussing the maddening way in which the WWE books their heels. They talk big games on the microphone, but yet never back it up in the ring. The latest example? R-Truth...

In addition, Alex talks about the continued Miz/Alex Riley program, Kharma's leave of absence, Alberto Del Rio's "ruthless" persona, and much more. Plus, did they turn Christian heel too early? Could this storyline arc have been milked for a little longer than it was?

In the "Finisher" segment, Alex hands out the "piledrivin' post of the week" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) and further explains his assertion that the overall wrestling lifestyle is what tragically kills wrestling so young, and that nothing will change until the culture of the business changes.

"The Alex Reimer Show" airs Saturday's from 3-5 PM EST on 1120 AM WBNW Boston, www.moneymattersradio.net, and www.livestream.com/wbnw1120.

ex begins the show by quickly paying respects to the great "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who passed away at the age of 58 last week due to a heart attack and subsequent car accident. Alex then comments on the "drug culture" that still largely permeates professional wrestling, and how the incessant drug use won't end until the climate of the business changes.

"Over the Limit" is recapped, as is the past week in WWE TV. Was the right move made in propelling Sheamus to the number one contenders spot for the World Heavyweight Championship? What affect does it have on Christian's status? Alex also talks about Kharma breaking down and crying on RAW, the Miz/Alex Riley feud, what the next step is for Michael Cole, and R-Truth's budding heel character.

In the "Finisher" segment, the "piledrivin' post of the week" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) is handed out, and Alex asks the question, "when will the next wrestling boom period come?"

In addition, they touch upon the WWE's re-branding efforts as Kevin sheds some insight as to what Triple H and others envision the current WWE product to look like and be perceived to look like.

In the "Finisher" segment, Alex hands out the "piledrivin' post of the week" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) and gives his opinion on TNA changing their name to "iMPACT Wrestling." Is this exactly what TNA needed to do to be considered a true alternative to the WWE, or is this a case where actions speak louder than words?

Alex discusses the fallout of the decision to have Christian lose the World Heavyweight Championship just 5 days after he won it. The WWE apparently doesn't understand why so many fans expressed such outrage at the decision...

Alex also talks about the future of the Christian/Randy Orton feud, as well as the possibility that Smackdown may become the more "wrestling-centric" show.

In terms of RAW, Alex mentions the Miz/John Cena match scheduled for "Over the Limit," and why this angle would just be so much easier if The Miz was champion and Cena was the challenger. Alex also talks about the continued booking of the R-Truth heel character, and why this Michael Cole/Jerry Lawler storyline must end!

In the "Finisher" segment, the "piledrivin' post of the week" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) is handed out, as Alex plays sound from Triple H talking about the brand change from "World Wrestling Entertainment" to "WWE."

he Osama Bin Laden capture and subsequent death is too big a story to ignore, and Alex briefly discusses it in the "Finisher" segment.

But the bulk of the show is spent on wrestling, and there is a whole lot to get into. Alex spends a lot of time recapping some recent poor WWE booking decisions, from having every heel except Michael Cole lose at "Extreme Rules," to the asinine way they've handled The Miz, to having Christian drop the World Heavyweight Championship to Randy Orton just 5 days after capturing the belt! Wrestlers don't get over in this company because they're never given an opportunity to build long-term momentum. Christian is a perfect example of that unfortunate phenomenon.

The "piledrivin' post of the week" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) is handed out, as Alex talks about what the next direction for Michael Cole should be. The Rock's "birthday bash," the possible re-hiring of Shawn Daivari, and more is talked about too.
