Well, goodbye February. That was quick!
I’m not 100% sure saying “the only challenge you/I have left” is the best choice because you’re calling everyone else inferior. I mean, I get it, you need to make a big deal and stuff, but don’t piss anyone (well, too many people) off haha.
EVAN BOURNE. I didn’t expect that, either! Damn, they’re good. Oh, man, I missed that Shooting Star Press.
Haha man Michael Cole is so good at being an ass. He’s even kicking it up a notch! Hm, interesting. I didn’t pick Swagger as Cole’s trainer, though I see that working well. Disinfecting the headset really was a nice touch.
A little, uh, violent there Mr. Orton. You know what, making Nexus members win matches to be allowed at ‘Mania is an interesting idea, I kinda like it.
I think I’ve figured out part of what bothers people so much about The Miz. He makes claims that are SO ridiculous that it’s just dumb. Sure it makes us angry (I guess), but they’re just so outlandish that it’s almost laughable and doesn’t even make you angry enough to hate him as a heel. It’s just a dumb character. Anyway.
Cena’s props are entertaining to me.
Okay. Divas battle royals make me angry. I think they are all capable of going over the top rope, not just through any of them; I really don’t think that’s too much to ask. But the “twin switch” thing this time did not make ANY sense at ALL. Nor do I feel the Bellas deserve a Divas title match. Dumb.
Aaand I love The Rock.
Being able to deliver such a good promo through a video, in a room with a static and kind of flat setting, is probably tough. But hot damn that was fun to watch. The middle was maybe just a touch of them saying, hey maybe we should have Rock explain why he left…or something, but still. Fun to watch, got the crowd going, and building a story. Pro wrestling. You yabba dabba bitch.
I know Miz hates Daniel Bryan, but…why bother?
I’d like to share that Miz was actually Tweeting during the match. That’s pretty good. Hm, I wonder what the deal with Alex Riley will be now. I can’t make too much of a comment on his wrestling because somehow I feel like that match didn’t have a ton of it, haha.
Mistico/Sin Cara! I’m only a little bit familiar with his history and work, but I know he’s a big deal. His style is similar to Rey Mysterio, not surprisingly, but I recommend looking up some matches if you have a chance. High fliers are fun to watch. I hope he fits well into the WWE!
In other wrestling-related news, Chris Jericho is on the next season of Dancing With the Stars. Is it bad that I’m actually curious how he’ll do? I mean, he’s obviously ver fit and physically able to do things so it might be interesting to see how that translates to ballroom dance. Or not. I guess we’ll find out. That might be a “what short YouTube clip can I find” kind of deal for me.
Also in less-related news, Otunga’s girlfriend/wife, Jennifer Hudson, looks amazing. Maybe she and Vickie have been working out! (No, that’s not meant to be mean or a dig at either; they both genuinely have lost a lot of weight and look good.)

Triple H vs. The Undertaker: Here is why it’s not good.
We have seen this match already. It was ten years ago at WrestleMania 17. I stopped liking Triple H after he screwed his way to the top. This may be the same storyline as it was ten years ago. Triple H came to the ring and said he has beat everybody then the Undertaker (In his motorcycle days) then rides to the ring and says he has not been defeated by Triple H.
I am just not a fan of WrestleMania rematches. Austin vs. Rock II was good but not III. The same goes for Michaels vs. Undertaker II. That match ruined in my opinion ruined the greatness of the first match.
Anyway, I was shocked that the Rock said “bitch”. I found that kind of funny.
Also, how awesome is Evan Bourne? We can dream but someday, I want him in the main event someday. Maybe he can win the Money In The Bank match.

The main problem you run into with guys like Taker and HHH is their longevity. If it’s not going to be Taker vs. HHH, then what will it be. This is Wrestlemania, the biggest stage of them all. I understand where you are coming from Fro, but in order to build a bigtime feel for a match, you may need to rematch some guys. I think what they are looking for is someone who looks like a real and credible threat to Takers streak. It’s all about that. Nothing else matters. As Jim Ross would say, it’s about putting asses every 18 inches. These two can do that. Taker vs. R-Truth won’t do it. HHH vs. Primo won’t either. It’s about telling a story. The story here is Undertakers streak, and who could conceivably end it. Like him or hate him, HHH fits that.
And the Rock rules. Nothing else needs to be said.
I’ll be looking for you guys on the 28th. I’m glad you’re going to use a Larry Horse sign. That will be awesome(no pun intended). You’re a lucky guy Fro, to have a lady like Stacey. Seems that I always end up with raving lunatics!

I have a little bit of a problem with ‘Mania rematches, too. HHH vs. Undertaker was at least a while ago; I might have even posted on here that I didn’t want Taker/Michaels two years in a row. Now I’m glad I saw HBK’s last match and all, but still. I do think that it kind of took away from the first one.
I do see your point though, Chucky. They are big names so it creates a lot of buzz, and credibility is an issue. I mean, I like Zack Ryder, but that would just…not work. It could be interesting to see where that can go in the future.
Also, Fro, Bourne winning MITB would be perfect!

Chucky,
You and MadCityMac are the same guys. Both of you attract lunatics. The thing is, Mac probably has two girlfriends. Or three if you consider that plastic one he has in his closest. Haha.
But yeah. I can only handle one and I drive her nuts too. I am lucky.
We will for sure get that Larry Horse sign for you and put some pictures up before and after the event on the website.
