Gifts for everyone!

Hello all

Well here we are a week away from Christmas. As some of you may have already done, it is time to shop for gifts. I know that there are a lot of you out there who haven’t figured out what you should get that special someone for Christmas. What if that person is a wrestling fan, what then? Well luckily for you, I am here to let you know what to get that wrestling fan of yours. I will break down some of the items that every wrestling fan cannot do without. Trust me, as a wrestling fan, I know exactly what they would want. And I have to apologize; most of these things I am going to talk about are about WWE. I don’t really know much about the other organizations, beyond what I see on TV, and read on the internet.

1st let’s start off with the DVDs. There are plenty of DVDs. There is one for every Pay per View. If you have seen or have been to one, and you want to add it your collection, then I highly recommend it. There are also DVDs about the wrestlers and about certain situations. I just got the “Brett Hart vs. Shawn Michaels” DVD, and I loved it. I will be buying the new “Stone Cold” DVD (as if I need to say why), and I would also like to get the “Randy Orton” DVD. If your fan has anybody who is big star that he might be a fan of, there are plenty of DVDs for him. Some of my favorite DVDs that I own, are all of the WrestleMania, all of Stone Cold’s, both of Shawn Michael’s, Brett Hart’s, and the “history of” DVDs about the WWE championship, the World Heavyweight Championship, and the Intercontinental championship. As far as some of my favorite matches, I watch “Unforgiven” 2002, the WWE title, Hell in a Cell match, between the Undertaker, and Brock Lesnar. I also like “Unforgiven”, 2005, WWE title, “I quit” match between John Cena, and JBL. I like the Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels at Mania 25. And I like pretty much any Elimination Chamber match. If you have a DVD nut out there, that should help them.

Next are books. Books are always a great gift. Wrestling books are no exception. They take you deeper in to the world of wrestling a lot more than the DVDs do. I have read a few books and have learned a lot about some of my favorite performers. It is great to know exactly what they were thinking when they did what they did. How they felt leading up to their favorite match, or how they felt before they did the most famous, or infamous thing of their life. Or even what they were thinking when their world was crumbling around them as they were going through some kind of person turmoil. I have read the books of Stone Cold (naturally), Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, both of Hulk Hogan’s, and I am starting to read Eric Bischoff’s right now. I would also like to read the book on the history of the WWE championship, Brett Hart’s book, and the death of the WCW. If you know of any fans who want to know the ins and outs of the business, the real story, then buying those books would be the way to go. And if you get them on paper (not electronic), they will be pretty cheap too.
Last but not least is the stuff. I started off thinking about video games, then I thought about action figures, then I thought about the toy belts, then the replica belts, so I figured I would make this last part about all of them. Now, if you are not looking to spend all of your money, then I would not recommend the replica belts; not with a week before Christmas. Now if you had some time, then we can talk about it. So let’s talk about the video games. I have been a gamer for most of my life. Some of my favorite wrestling games were on the Nintendo 64. You have WCW vs. NOW revenge, which is awesome. You have WrestleMania 2000. But since most of us don’t have those systems, I have to say WWE Smackdown, has been the best wrestling game out there. TNA came out with a game, a few years ago. It was not good. I would not waste my time trying it out if I were you. Take my word for it. Now let’s talk about some of the action figures. They are coming out with some of the coolest figures you could ever want. Now they have them in event specific costumes. Meaning if you have ever seen a superstar in a special entrance, then most likely there is an action figure for that. From Mania 22 there is a figure for Rey Mysterio, and also one for Triple H. For the collector you would be buying for, they would love it.

So we I have given you plenty of options. Now you should be able to get something for that special wrestling fan out there. If you have a lot of money, go for the gusto. If not, go for an action figure, or book (remember people are not buying hard copy books anymore so they should be pretty cheap). I hope you enjoyed this little blog that is off of the beaten path. I will try to write a few more blogs this week, because like I said last week, I have a lot on my mind I would love to blog and get your opinions.

AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LLLLLLLIIIINNNNNNEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
