I don't want to like The Pope. I really don't. I want to be all cynical and sarcastic, like I usually am, and make jokes about how I can't tell the difference between him and Orlando Jordan. Unfortunately, I've been a pretty big fan of The Pope since he told Desmond Wolfe that it was gonna get "funky like a donkey".
I mean, this is a company that has Jeff Hardy, Rob Van Dam, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle, Jeff Jarrett, Mick Foley and Sting. I'd still much rather have The Pope as the world champion.
His push hasn't been entirely un-Kaz-like. Well, at least he wasn't getting absolutely destroyed one week and being given a world heavyweight title shot as what I can only guess was compensation the next.
Maybe I just like the idea so much because it's something new, something fresh. Out of that list, those people have all been world champion at least twice. Well, not Samoa Joe but you get my point. First time champions are often just more appealing to me.
I have no elegant way to round off this post so I'm just going to stop abruptly here.
