And now for some real entertainment:
Salon's Sean Elder makes the case for a more honest Crossfire:
Fans of "Smackdown" know that each character has a back story, a mentor, a finishing move. Most intriguingly, they can cross over to the other side at will. Take "Raw" superstar Triple H (Hunter Hearst Helmsley) aka The Game aka the Cerebral Assassin. After a brief period in which he fought on the side of niceness, "The Game's true colors came shining through and he has once again found himself listening to the fans' jeers," according to his WWE bio. "To further solidify the fact that he doesn't care about the fans, Triple H aligned himself with 'the dirtiest player in the game,' Ric Flair, Randy Orton and Batista. Together, they called themselves Evolution."
Are you listening, Begala? You know how those red-state hicks feel about evolution; I think you could steal this one wholesale and no one would be the wiser. Imagine Tucker's mashed-in face when you deliver a pump-handle slam on his supine person. Of course his bow tie could start spinning in a defensive maneuver, blowing pixie dust into your eyes while the Undertaker sneaks up behind you and throws you into a coffin, cackling, "How do you feel about the right to die now?" That's when a trap door could open and the Ragin' Cajun could appear to the strains of "Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya-Ya," carrying a flaming skull.
