Ive got an English folk story to tell you.
Its back in the days of the Napoleonic wars, England and France were still bitter enemies and people didn't get out much.
One day a French ship capsized a few miles off of the english coast near a town called Hartlepool and everyone on that ship had drowned, except the crews pet monkey which had somehow managed to swim to shore.
Now you can imagine that the discovery of this monkey had caused quite a stir in a small town, ALL of whom had never seen either a frenchman or a monkey. And im sure that you can imaging what next, the locals assumes that the monkey was what a frenchman was and put the poor monkey to trial for treason and had a public execution as they couldn't understand the monkey, he was speaking french for all they knew and the proudly hung him in the town square.
To this day Hartlepool is famous for this, the local soccer teams mascot is a monkey with a noose round his neck. and believe it or not his name is H'Angus.
whats this got to do with wrestling? you ask. ok not a lot tbh, but this reminds me of the wwe vs wsx drama.
now vinnie mac has no clue about his competition and he knows nothing about them, he just wants them dead, and will proudly put them out of business weather they are a great powerful competitor like wcw or a poor defenceless monkey like wsx. and he will still talk about it in years to come.
now ive heard good things about wsx, although we do not get it in England, i hear it has good production values, great workers a nice tv deal and sounds like a lot of fans already. but is nowhere near the same league as tna let alone wwe and it has been targeted already and will no doubt be the first victim of the new monday night wars, and soon, the wsx name will be shamelessly flaunted under the wwe banner like a small company in the past called ecw.
