Welcome back! Where have you been?

I was going to write this weeks blog on an individual. Someone I feel has really deserved the praise of a die hard fan of this business. Before I did it, I figured I would watch "Smack Down!", this week. Just in case I came across something that I felt I should add. What I found was a blast from the past. What I found was something I have not seen in what seems like years. What I found was maybe the match of the year in WWE. And it was on free TV, and Smack Down, no less. I am talking about the Intercontinental Championship match tonight, between Kofi Kingston, and Dolgh Ziggler. I was riveted. This was one of the greatest matches I have seen in a long time. This was not a Hell in a Cell, Elimination Chamber, TLC, Ladder, or even a Hardcore match. This was just two young guys going one on one in the ring, and for the IC Title. In the old days the IC title was the working mans title. All of the wrestlers wanted it, because it meant you were a great worker, and it meant the company knew one day down the line, you would be champion. Lately the IC title has been ignored because all of the great workers were going after the main championships. I believe this start back in 2002, during the Brand Extension(later on in my blog, I will get into all the ways that was done wrong, but you guys are smart, so I know you know, but any who). When Brock Lesner won the Undisputed WWE Championship, and he was going to become a Smack Down wrestler. Rumor has it, that Triple H did not want to wear the IC belt. Thus the World Heavyweight Title(WWE verison) was created. Triple H not wearing the belt made it insignificant. If Triple H, one of the greatest performers, and workers, and a former IC Champ himself, would not wear the belt on RAW, it must not be an important title. Not long after that, the WWE retired it(another DUMB move by WWE). Luckily they brought it back. But for the longest time it has been on the back burner. Honestly for awhile I could even tell you who held it. But on tonight's Smack Down, I was very impressed. I will not give you a blow by blow of the match. But I will say, please watch this match. These young guys gave it everything they had. They true winner tonight was the IC Title. I will be watching Smack Down, to see who the next new challenger is, or how the Champion was dazzle us again with an other worldly performance. The IC title is back on the working man, and I for one could not be happier!



AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE!

Yay for TNA!!!!!

Hello everyone


It has taken me a second to get my footing with this blogging thing. But here I am. Just a little back round on me. I am an avid avid pro wrestling fan. I have been watching wrestling with my father since I was a very young child, and have gotten family members into it. I was sitting trying to explain wrestling one night to my wife, and she said "why don't you start a blog, so you can explain these things to people". So I am here to do this blog and just give you my opinion about pro wrestling. I am a mostly WWE watcher. I am a big fan of Stone Cold Steve Austin As I said last time(and I am sorry, but that was at least a month or two ago), I keep up with the wrestling organizations that are on TV WWE and TNA. I go on websites and read as much stuff as I can, try to keep up with the other stuff, but I obviously can only keep up with the ones I watch. If you would like me to comment on something you know about, please leave me a message, and I will gladly, gladly read or go on a website and watch it. Okay, with that said let's get into to my blog for this week, TNA.


I watched  TNA Impact last week, and their special, "The Whole F***N Show". I will say their are not a lot of things that I think are good in TNA. I don't think it is a good idea for them to have a lot of the guys who were there when WCW went under(Hogan, Nash, Hall when he is not drunk or in jail, Russo, and Bischoff). Something about that doesn't make much sense to me. A lot of their decisions also have not made sense. They redid the Montreal Screw Job. Yep, a dumb decision. Anyway back to what I started with, I watched the show last week. I must say, I was very impressed with what I saw. I thought alot of the matches were great. AJ Styles maybe the most underrated guy in wrestling. His match with Kurt Angle was fantastic! Then the Motor City Machine Guns, vs Beer Money Inc. for the TNA Tag  Team Titles. This was maybe the match of the year, in ALL of wrestling! Then ending the show with that melee of the old ECW guys(I forget what they are calling them, because they can't say ECW), it was an awesome show. For the first time, maybe since I have started to watch TNA on a weekly basis, this was clearly the best show they have ever done. Now I am not sure if this is because they had no interview, and just did what they are good at, show case their young talent. Not that the show was perfect. The "main event" left alot to be desired. RVD vs. Abyss was a horrible match, so was the "Knockout's" Title match. But overall, an excellent program. If we can get more of this out of TNA, then maybe we can have some of the wrestling we got used to in the mid to late 90s. Again I know 1 show does not make a company, and I am not ready to hitch my wagon to TNA, but they are making baby steps to become a real organization.

Well guys that's what I have to say for tonight. If you have anything you want to say, please leave me a response.


Thanks!
AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
