K-Fed Up

On the first episode of WWE Raw for 2007 the world champion, John Cena faced Britney Spears' ex-husband, Kevin Federline in a non-title match.

The bout ended with K-Fed pinning Cena following interference from Umaga who is going to be the Doctor of Thuganomics' opponent at this Sunday's pay-per-view.

There was a lot of debate online about whether it was a good idea having the most popular wrestler on the WWE roster being beat by a celebrity.

I am not too keen on the finish but it probably did bring in a few curious viewers which, ultimately, is why the WWE are dealing with a C-List celebrity in the first place.

One other piece of criticism based on last night's angle was made by someone in a wrestling chat room who said that Vince Russo would never have had the world champion lose to someone like Federline.

This user must have eradicated the memories of David Arquette winning the WCW belt in Russo's era in what was one of the mst ridiculous angles in the history of the business which became one of the many nails in WCW's coffin.

Be thankful that Vince Russo was not involved in booking that match last night. It could have been a lot worse.
