Not So fast!

Hello all

So this week in wrestling I noticed something that I hope is not going to happen. My wife and I were watching RAW on Monday, and as it came to the end of the night, she said something that I am going to disagree with. What happened was CM Punk was in the ring beating up on WWE chairman Vince McMahon, and was going to do some real damage to him, when out to his rescue comes Ryback. As the show is going off the air, Vince says Punk can either face John Cena, or Ryback at the “Hell in the Cell” Pay per View. After that announcement, my wife said if Punk beats Ryback, she will not watch wrestling anymore. I am on the other side, if Ryback wins the WWE title (that is if Punk chooses him, which I am sure he will not), then I will stop watching WWE.

The 1st reason I am not on board with Ryback winning the title is because there is no build up to this match. That would mean that the main event at the Cell ppv would have 1 week of buildup. That’s it? For a WWE title match. And again if they have Ryback win he will be ending Punk’s near yearlong title reign. This would be historic. And quite frankly, Ryback does not deserve to be the person to have honor bestowed upon him. I know the only other person who is a contender is Cena, and most of you all don’t want to see him with the title again, but at least you know he can defeat Punk for that title, and you would not wonder who he was.

The 2nd reason I am not on board with this move is because Ryback has not been the smoothest wrestler. I know at first we saw him destroy a few wrestlers, I consider to be tomato cans, but when he has had to step up to major competition, he has not done well. I don’t know if anyone has seen his match from RAW vs. Tensai, but he tried twice to lift the big man above his head to perform his finishing move, but he could not get him up, and had to settle for a clothesline, and a pin. I just don’t feel that a guy who is not exactly what we think he should be as far as being a big man who can squash people, should even be considered for the title, at least not yet.

3rd reason why is because we have seen this before. This guy is somewhat of a clone of the Ultimate Warrior, and Goldberg. As a matter of fact during his match, the crowd does the GOLD-BERG, GOLD-BERG chants. As we have seen from both of these guys, it is a good novelty, but you can’t have these guys as the leaders of your company. They are great for beating up little guys who weigh maybe 2 or 3 times less than them, but who really wants to have this guy leading the charge for the WWE?

All and all I like Ryback for what he is. He is a big man that beats the crap out of little guys. There is a place for him. But it is not as the WWE champion. Punk has been the champ for 11 months, one of the longest reigns in the last 20 years. Again, for something so major, we can’t have some guy who just got to the company, who can only have a good match with local jobbers, win the title. Now in the next year or so if Ryback continues to destroy guys, and maybe win a US or InterContinental title, then maybe it will be time, but as of today, it is not the right move.

AND THAT’S THE BOTTOM LLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't normally do this, but.......

Hello all

It has been a long time since I have written anything about Impact (TNA) wrestling. I do not want to kill them too bad, so I figured if I did not have anything nice to say about them, I would not say anything at all. Well tonight I am going to go back on that.

I want to talk about what has been going on in TNA if you have missed it. About 4 months ago a group of masked men started to appear at TNA events, and attack the talent. They attacked everyone, it did not matter who you were. Face or heel, they beat people up. The group identified themselves as the “Aces and Eights”, a motorcycle group who is out for destruction.

Okay, so there are a few things that I don’t understand about the group, and the way TNA is handling them. One thing is why have they been around so long, and not really been a part of the show? Why are they the group that is “somewhere” in the building, but not on the active roster? Who are you fooling? We all know that they are a part of the team, so let’s just cut the charade.

Next thing I don’t understand is what do they want? Do they just want anarchy? What are they doing there? What makes them tick? I know that they are going to have a match at the “Bound for Glory” pay per view, which will give them access to the Impact Zone (which I totally think they are going to win by the way) but after that, then what? What is the end game? Will they take their masks off and become TNA superstars, or will they stay in the back of the arena and continue to play poker, and have their voices distorted?

The last thing I do not understand about them is why aren’t they trying to get more involved in the world championship? If that is not the reason why they came there, to shake up the title scene in TNA, then what are they doing there? Are they there to beat up Sting, and Hogan? Really? How many times can these two old timers get theirs brains beat in? I don’t care to see that, what about you, do you want to see that?

As you all know if you have read the old blog I wrote on this topic, I love factions. The four horsemen, DX, the Dangerous Alliance, Right to Censor, The Nexus, The NWO, I love them all. So to not be able to like this group is so against my nature. But I don’t really think that this has much direction. They are just there. They want to beat some people up, but no one that makes a difference. They don’t want to beat up the champ and get the title from him, hell they don’t want any titles. At least when the NWO came through and wreaked havoc on WCW, they did so with the intention of taking all of the belts, and they did. So what are they doing there? I guess only time will tell.

AND THAT’S THE BOTTOM LLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I think that at the ppv Bound for Glory, it will come out that Bully Ray, is a member of the Aces and Eights, and I also think that this group is led by Eric Bischoff. Just one man’s opinion
