The things I noticed this week in wrestling.

Hello all

Tonight’s blog is not going to a specific topic, but it will be more so random thoughts about some things that have gone on in the wrestling world. Most will be what I have seen this past week, but there will be some that are from a long time ago that I am just now seeing.

Okay, let me start off with my predictions from last week’s Pay per View. I was correct in the World Heavyweight, and WWE Title matches, but I was not exactly correct about all of the details. Do you know who was……my wife. She said as she was reading the blog last week that she thought in the WWE title match, that AJ, would leave the match with Kane, and that is exactly what happened. When asked how she knew that, her response was “you know wrestling, I know drama”. I guess she was right. I was wrong about Cody Rhodes. I thought he would win the IC belt back and start to make his win into the discussion for the World title, but it looks like they are going to keep him fighting for the IC title just a little bit longer.

I was wrong about John Laurinaitis. I thought they would keep the angle of the bad boss going, but they decided to stop it. I thought they could get a lot more run out of it, with CM Punk, and John Cena, but they did not. Along with that, I was correct about the Big Show. I knew they would have him target the WWE title. But I was thinking they would put him in a program involving the title right away, but I guess they want to make him earn it? Oh well, I am sure I will be right in a few months (barring injury of course).

So I was trying to watch TNA this week, and you all know how much it pains me to say this, but I was very confused. Their main thing of the night was the fact that Dixie Carter, and AJ Styles had something going on, and they wanted to make it seem like they were having an affair. Christopher Daniels (another TNA wrestler) had pictures of the 2 of them together, and had been going around convincing everyone (including Dixie’s husband) they were together. But as it turns out, they were helping some random person with a substance abuse problem (or something). I am not really sure exactly what was happening at the end of the show, but somehow, they were vindicated for their actions, and they were not cheating. Well, I don’t understand what is going on with this. Who was this random person? And if they were not having an affair, why would they keep that from everyone? If you have nothing to hide, why do you hide? Just another thing in the long line of things about TNA that I just don’t get. And as much as I try, I just don’t know how much more of TNA I can take.

Lastly I want to tell you all why I love this business. I was watching an old episode of Ring of Honor. It is not on TV here in Atlanta, and I had to download it to my phone. As I was watching this show, they were introducing a new tag team to ROH. They were the tag team of Shelton Benjamin, and Charlie Haas, formerly in WWE known as Team Angle, or the World’s Greatest Tag Team. So as they came out to the ring, the crowd stood up and cheered for them. They were very excited to see this team come to ROH. They had the utmost respect for these guys. Respect. I absolutely love it when the fans have enough sense and enough class to show respect to guys who have earned it. Not everyone in wrestling is a douche, and needs to be put in their place. Sometimes there are some good guys in the business. When they come around; we need to show our respect for them. For once, I actually appreciate the fans for being knowledgeable about the business. Keep up the good work.

Maybe next week I will come up with an entire blog to write about. If not, I will tell you guys more about what I have seen in the past week in wrestling. Also if I have any Chris Jericho fans out there, I might do a review of his latest book (I say latest because he has written two, but I have only read the last one). It is awesome, and any fans out there should be really excited about it.

AND THATS THE BOTTOM LLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Way Out: Preview

Hello all

I know it has been a long time since I have written a blog, sorry about that. I know some of you have been waiting for it, and I will not let you down. If I cannot find anything to write about beside WWE, then I will just write about WWE

Any who, normally, I don’t write prediction blogs because I feel like they are cheap, and too easy. But I really missed the boat on the last PPV. I knew the Big Show would come out and help John Laurinaitis win the match. When I heard the wording that if any WWE Superstar helped Laurinaitis, they would be fired, I knew it would be Show helping him. I figured he would be apologetic the next night on RAW, saying he had to do it, because he had a family, and Laurinatis would hire him back only if Show helped him. I didn’t think Show would get upset with everyone else and make it about himself, but I knew he would be fighting John Cena at this PPV.

So with all of that said, tonight’s blog will be a prediction blog about tonight’s PPV.

Brodus Clay vs. David Otunga: I am not trying to be funny, but does anyone really care about this match? I assume Clay will win this match, but if he does not, then nothing will change.

Santino Marella vs. Ricardo Rodriguez for the US Title: I didn’t even know this match was happening. Oh yeah it is contested in a Tuxedo Match no less. I don’t see Santino losing the title to a ring announcer, so I say Santino wins this one.

Layla vs. Beth Phoenix for the Diva’s Title: I feel that Layla will win this one. Beth has been the Diva’s Champ and Women’s champ on multiple occasions (4 times total), and I think they will let Layla hold the title a little longer.

Christian vs. Cody Rhodes for the Intercontinental Title: I feel like the company wants to let Cody be the man. Remember I wrote a blog about Cody (which means he will be world champion soon)? I think he is well on his way to becoming the main man in the company. With that said, I think he wins his 3rd IC title, just like all of the greats before him, who have held it at least that many times, like Michaels, Edge, and Jericho. This will be his last title before he becomes world champion.

CM Punk vs. Kane vs. Daniel Bryan for the WWE Title: I don’t see Punk losing the title even in this triple threat match, although I could see AJ (the girl that is involved in somewhat of a love triangle) turning on CM Punk, and helping Bryan win the title, but I could also see Punk somehow pulling this out, and keeping the belt.
Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler for the World Heavyweight Title: Because Alberto Del Rio(the original #1 contender) got hurt, and Ziggler was a late replacement, I doubt he will win. I think he will give him a decent match, but Sheamus, pulls away.

John Cena vs. Big Show in a Steel Cage: This one is hard to call. I think that since Show has become a big angry giant, I could see him beating the crap out of Cena for most of the match, and Cena coming back and winning. But the only thing that I think stops that from happening is the fact that if Cena wins then Laurinaitis gets fired. I think they still have a lot of work they can do with the crooked boss/GM angle, so I think Show pulls out the win.

Oh and there is some announcement by Triple H, about his arm, Brock Lesnar, and the lawsuit. I think he will come out, and say how the suit is going, and that his arm is healing, then Brock will come out, and they will fight, and set up for the next PPV, where the will fight.

Now the aftermath is what I think will be very interesting. If CM Punk wins, I see him defending against….the Big Show. I think they have set him up to be the big bad man. And what does the big bad man need in wrestling……the Title. After Sheamus wins, I think they will try to get Del Rio his title shot, but he stays injured so, I don’t think he will be getting the belt, but since Cody Rhodes is on SmackDown, I think he will be challenging for the belt very soon. And what about Cena, you ask? I think Cena will continue to try to get rid of Laurinatis, by any means necessary.

All right folks, I am putting it out there. Tell me what you think.

Where is all of the new blood?

Hello all

I know I have not written a blog in a while. Since WrestleMania, I have been writing a lot about WWE, and have wanted to do more than just them. But to be honest with you all, I have been watching TNA, and have not found anything good to write about. And since Ring of Honor is not on TV, I have not had anything to write about besides WWE. But as I watched TNA this past week, I did see something.

So last week I was watching TNA and the World Heavyweight Champion, Bobby Roode was defending the title on TV. They have started having title matches every week on TV, which is one thing they do that I actually like. Anyway, Roode successfully defended his title. After the match he chose to celebrate, not just the win, but the fact that he is the longest reigning world champion in TNA, since they broke away from the NWA and became their own company, since 2007.

After the celebration, Hulk Hogan told Roode he had a new challenger, and at that time the lights went out. So I was wondering, did someone jump from WWE, or is someone finally going to step up and become a new challenger to the title? But no, who was it when the lights came back up…….it was Sting, again, for like the 100th time. And Sting beat up the champ, and was given a shot at the title at their next Pay per View. The bad thing, to me, about that is their next ppv is Slammiversary. Slammiversary is TNA’s biggest ppv, like WrestleMania is to WWE. And this is their 10th, so this is a big deal for them. So I do not understand why they are putting in their main event, their longest reigning champion, the future of the company, and a man who is 53 years old and has been their champion 4 times already. So I am wondering, are they out of new stars?

From the beginning of TNA, it has always been as an alternative to WWE. They had these young gun wrestlers who could do anything. But where are all of those guys? Where is this X division that was supposed to be revolutionizing pro wrestling? Where are the young guys who are supposed to be challenging for the title? Why do we keep having the same guys challenging for the title? In the last 2 years, they have had Sting, Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, Mr. Anderson, Jeff Hardy, and Samoa Joe all challenge for it. The only 2 new guys to even challenge for (and subsequently win) the title are Roode, and his former tag team partner, and the man he defeated for the title, James Storm.

I hope that after Roode wins at the ppv we can get some new blood in the title mix at TNA. Say what you want about WWE, but Alberto Del Rio, Mark Henry, The Miz, Christian, have all held world titles for the year. All of those men were new to the title scene. Like I always say, I don’t write this blog to kill anyone, but I am giving my opinion. I hope that they have new wrestlers challenging for the title, because I cannot take any more of what looks like the old, and I do mean old, wrestlers.


AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LLLLLLIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
