Summer Slam Fiasco, and TNA possible Finished??
How’s everyone’s summer going? Ready for Summer Slam? I’m passing on it. Find out why in The Skirt Sheet. Needless to say, I’m less than impressed with the way the card has been presented.

BREAKING NEWS: Jon Jones OUT of 178 postpones fight til 182: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuSwePnonFE&list=UU0XMnDOTIW_H3Chwzr6R_8w
Doesn’t seem like yesterday that we were sitting down here at our computers, writing/reading this blog? A month sure does go by fast, these days. A lot can happen in three weeks, which in the wrestling world means nothing. Same feuds, same promos, and same old bull shit. With that, I will shut it and get to bidness…
I’m not even sure where to start. Maybe with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. Last month at the Battleground pay-per-view, the two of them were suppose to have a match. What happened was, the two ended up fighting throughout the night in random places. All of which were “unsanctioned”. Their official match never took place. At first I was a bit cheesed at the WWE for this cock-tease but then I was actually glad they did it like that. It made for the emotions and the anticipation of this match all that more exciting. We still got to see them fight each other, but this time we got the parking lot brawl too. It was reminiscent of the attitude era. They had so much potential in this feud that they dropped the ball last week on SmackDown. Before we get to that, we must go back nearly two weeks. Picture this…RAW somewhere in Texas. A beat the clock challenge is issued between Ambrose and Rollins by The Authority, where the winner choses their match stipulation for Summer Slam. Dean Ambrose goes out there and fights Alberto Del Rio, winning the match in 15 minutes and 42 seconds. Later on, it was suppose to be Seth Rollins vs. Rob Van Damn, but we all know how the Authority wants their guys to have it super easy. At the last minute RVD is replaced by Heath Slater. The match looks like its going to be won in fast time by Rollins, until Ambrose shows up ands starts messing with Rollin’s brief case. This distractions, costs Rollins the match and is pinned by Heath Slater. So now, Dean Ambrose gets to chose the stipulation and he will announce it on SmackDown. This is where WWE really fucked up. This is a 5-star caliber match they’re dealing with. Both superstars can haul-ass in the ring. One would think that they would have Ambrose demand that the Money In The Bank brief case be put up. That makes the most sense, doesn’t it? Nope instead they have Ambrose announce that he wants a Lumberjack match at Summer Slam. Whaaaaaaa?! Lumberjack matches are for RAW and SmackDown, not a pay-per-view. Nobody is going to pay for a lumberjack match. I was willing to pay to see Ambrose vs. Rollins for the MITB brief case, not for a lumberjack match. I’m highly disappointed in the WWE at this stupid stipulations. I’m happy for guys like Tyson Kidd, who will get a PPP pay-check, but still.
Shitty booking!!
Since I mentioned Alberto Del Rio in that last paragraph, I guess it’s as good as time as any to say….
I need a new one that says “Oops sorry Page cannot be Requested” (More on that later). Alberto Del Rio was fired for slapping a WWE employee. Apparently this employee made a racial remark about having Del Rio clear the tables in catering, and it got back to Del Rio who reacted by confronting the employee and then slapping him. Del Rio was let go by the WWE, and rumour has it, later on in the week the employee was also let go for making a racial remark. I’m not a huge fan of Del Rio’s to begin with but any racial slurs, remarks or the like need to be dealt with. There are some employees that doesn’t apply to *cough* Michael Hayes *cough*.
TNA is currently looking for a new place to air TNA Impact, as SPIKE decided against renewing TNA’s contract. This is a huge blow to the little company. So far, I haven’t heard if there was any other networks interested in broadcasting TNA. We’ll need to keep an eye on this.
Sticking with TNA, I saw something on Facebook that Owner, Dixie Carter broke her back after being put through a table by Bully Ray (aka Bubba Ray Dudley). I’m guessing this is a work, however there are a lot of people out there who are believing this mess. I’m sticking with that it’s a work.
Wrestling is in such a state right now. I’m getting tired of watching it. There’s so much of it on. I tried to keep up with TNA, but TNA is so bad that I want to kill myself five minutes into it. Oh is that too soon?
I have some comments regarding this weeks RAW; Lol, oh this should be good. This weeks RAW was pretty much a giant waste of time. I’m already sick of the constant badgering of the whole $9.99 shit. For starters, their stupid network doesn’t cost $9.99 everywhere. Only in the States. In Canada, it’s $11.99. And if anyone noticed they say “The Best of WWE NETWORK” available now in 117 (or whatever it is) countries. What in THEE blue hell does “Best of…” mean? Does that mean we have limited content? Old content? Anything new that they may or may not release on the network is going to be delayed up here? For $11.99, they can suck on a donkey’s taint.
Damn! Hulk Hogan’s guest list is old! I’m just shocked that Scott Hall could walk to the ring and actually speak without falling over. The dude was upright. That’s twice in public appearances where Hall remained upright; at the WWE Hall Of Fame, and on this weeks RAW. Dude still doesn’t look that great.
Man, did Paul Orndorff shrink! The little old man in a giant velour robe, could not have been Mr. Wonderful. It was like a shriveled prune in a watermelon. Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman, even made an appearance, and the more and more I think about it, the more I really hope that my child doesn’t come out looking like Brock Lesnar. If he/she does, I may have to allow them to wear CROCS on their feet just so people don’t see how ugly my child is. If you know anything about me at all, it’s that I feel putting CROCS on your child is actually child abuse. Those shoes, are fucking ugly as sin. CROCS and UGS. Who names these? Seriously?!
Seriously? Even Hogan’s cake has $9.99 on it. I’m so glad I didn’t see this or else I would have turned it right off.
If you didn’t see the whole “Daniel Bryan is cheating on Brie and Stephanie has the proof” bullshit coming from the start of RAW when it was announced that Stephanie had a “confession” then maybe you should stop sniffing glue. I saw that coming from a mile away. I didn’t actually account for that the alleged woman would make me want to bark furiously at my television and throw sandwiches at the unhealthy bag of bones.
The moment Brie came out to confront, the “other woman”, Megan Miller,–WOOF! WOOF! WO-WOOF! WOOOOOOOFF!!!!– we knew that she was going to end up getting arrested before the nights end. The WWE actually had a decent storyline going between Stephanie and Brie Bella. They have totally jumped the shark. Last week was pushing it with the very unnecessary contract signing crap. They could have left it alone without that, but compared to this week, last week was great. This week…Shark jumping. Appropriate that it’s Shark Week over on Discovery (which they need to stop airing mockumentaries and showboating pieces, but they need to air more true educating documentaries on these amazing animals instead of hyping up their myths, which are totally unfounded).
I don’t care what’s going on, whether you are allowing Paige to be a distraction for AJ or not, you DO NOT ALLOW someone of EVA MARIE’s caliber to ever pin someone of AJ Lee’s caliber! Have her go over via disqualification or count-out, but AJ should never have been pinned by Eva Marie. Just who exactly is Eva Marie going down on backstage to be allowed that privilege? AJ could have faced any other diva, with the exception of Rosa Mendes, and gone over with a pin. Eva Marie, is the queen of giving oral to get pins. I say oral instead of blow jobs, because a part of me thinks that Stephanie McMahon could be getting, I’m not going to finish this sentence as I can see all the male readers getting giant smiles across their faces at that possible image. What? Where did you think I was going to go with that last bit? Y’all are a bunch of pervs!
Did I already mention how stupid it is for Dean Ambrose to ask for a Lumberjack instead of the Money In the Bank brief case? Oh I did? Well, it’s still really fucking stupid. That hasn’t changed.
NXT is once again putting on some stellar matches. Both WWE Superstars, Justin Gabriel and Tyson Kidd are shining in NXT. Why not, they certainly are not getting any air time on WWE television. Sami Zayne and Adam Rose advances in the #1 contendership Tag Team Tournament, along with Collin Cassidy & Enzo Amore, Kalisto & Sin Cara and The Vaudevillians. Round 2 starts next week. The eventual winners will have a snow-ball chance in hell at becoming the new NXT Tag Team Champions. They have to beat The Ascension first. Konnor and Viktor have been tag champs for 339 Days (as of August 17, 2014). Great ending to Bayley vs. Sasha Banks #1 contender match for the NXT Women’s Championship. Look like Banks had Bayley where she wanted her but Bayley reversed the submission hold and ended up pinning Banks. Bayley will now face Charlotte for the championship. Tyler Breeze FINALLY takes advantage of his #1 contendership after 3months and goes after Adrian Neville’s NXT Championship. It was a great match this past Thursday, until Tyson Kidd (I love him but still) got involved costing Breeze the title. The match ended in a disqualification, allowing Neville to pick up the so-called win.
I’m now into my second trimester with our baby beluga. The morning sickness is shit but I’m making it through. Our baby is pretty active, took almost an hour to get a decent sonogram picture for a test I was having. 
Anyways, that is it for me this month. See you in September!Because, In Life…There Are Winners, and There Are Losers….Be Jealous and Be Sexy!

Hey everyone, how are we doing this month?! I can’t believe it is already SummerSlam weekend. Plus it is already midway through August! Time sure does fly fast! I had a nice vacation in July. I didn’t end up going to Toronto like I wanted to but I still had a nice break from work. But I wished it was longer though! LOL Oh well. Anyway let’s get on with this wrestling blog shall we?!
This year I won’t be watching SummerSlam. I don’t think I’m really going to miss too much because the card isn’t really that great. The build to SummerSlam has been okay. I mean for some of the top matches have been built up nicely(Cena/Lesnar, Reigns/Orton, Ambrose/Rollins) but that’s pretty much it. If you count Stephanie and Brie then that’s it too.
Speaking about Stephanie and Brie their feud was going really well up until this past Monday’s RAW when WWE Creative decided to bring in Daniel Bryan’s “trainer” into the mix. That was a complete waste of my time and your time(if you happened to watch that crap). I knew from the beginning it was going to be bad when I saw her come in. The women couldn’t even act. It was just so horrible in so many ways. It just got worse and worse. Needless to say that ended my interest in their feud. Thanks WWE for ruin something that I was interested in watching.
I don’t know what is going to happen between Cena and Lesnar. I picked Cena to win. But I’m not 50% sold on him winning. I’m also not 50% sold on Brock winning either. My gut feeling is this match is going to end up in some screw up finish and we may not have a winner in this match. Probably have to go through another match in the next PPV to determine a winner.
Have you been noticing that Swagger has some “swag” in him?! I made a funny! Lol He is gotten over with the fans because of his feud happening with Rusev. Also have you noticed Cesaro has been losing and has lost all heat that he had six months ago?! What is wrong with this picture?! It is like bizzaro world in WWE. I have no idea what Cesaro did or said but man his stock just went down big time. Yet this is another case of WWE doing what’s right for business…
Speaking about bizarre how about Goldust and Stardust promos?! WTF are they talking about?! LOL I love it though! Those two guys are pretty entertaining and I’m always looking forward to seeing them on my TV. I was disappointed that they weren’t used this week.
If you watched RAW on Monday you noticed that it was Hulk Hogan’s birthday. He had some guests including Ric Flair, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Mean Gene, Jimmy Hart and Mr. Wonderful. It was kinda cool seeing them all there. But seeing Hall and Nash with grey hair made me feel really old! At least Hall was walking though! It was a pretty nice thing what WWE did for Hogan. He does deserve it(even though sometimes I don’t think he does with some of the crap he has done). But he was really touched by what they did and I truly believe Hogan meant it.
Sting will be at Summer Slam this weekend. He will be part of a panel. I think more than likely we will see Sting on WWE TV soon enough. Well we have already seen him on WWE TV in part of that awesome WWE 2K15 game promo.
Anyway that’s it for me this month. I can’t really think of anything else to chat about. I hope you guys enjoyed my column and have a nice day! 🙂

Royal Rumble Predictions and Shenanigans from you favourite Wrestling Bloggers
Welcome back!!! Well because all four of us are here this week, we are keeping the introduction short. Don’t forget to check out our Royal Rumble predictions at the end of our blogs. Enjoy and so great to be back writing.
***the views and opinions expressed in “Boot Camp” are strictly my own and do not in any way reflect those of WWE, TNA or any other group that I might inadvertently piss off! But….If you’re gonna get all emo over it, then run home to your mommy, curl up in the fetal position and cry salty tears into your fucking Ovaltine!!***
BOOT CAMP
Ten-hut, troops! Long time, no see.
It feels like forever since I got to sit down and crank out one of these articles for you guys. It feels good to be back in business. With The Sarge in the house, you know that business is about to pick up!
So much has been going on, and still is, so let’s get down to it. We’re not getting any younger, damn it!
First off, I have to share a bit of personal life crap with you. Sorry, but life isn’t all wrestling for me. I have a life outside of being “The Sarge” after all. Most of all, I want to talk about my job. Last time we met, I was talking about how much that job sucked massive goat testicles. Well, it still kind of does, but to a lesser extent. It’s actually getting easier for me. I’m getting used to it. My confidence is increasing every day, and the whole thing is really becoming “tolerable”. This job gave me a migraine from the stress level a couple weeks back….and I don’t get migraines. Never have until that day. I went to the ER and got treated for that. The meds they gave me worked wonderfully, though the delivery method was a bit suspect. They gave me two shots….one in each butt cheek! I know, TMI. But, whatcha gonna do? I had to share so you can feel my pain, so to speak. However, since that day, my job has really improved and I have not been nearly as weird about going back there. I think I may actually survive this, people!
=================================
I think nothing set the tone for 2013 in WWE like the bit on RAW with Mae Young giving “birth” to Hornswoggle on the New Year’s Eve episode. Maybe the absolute dumbest thing I have ever witnessed! How fucking brain-dead does WWE think we are? How was that supposed to be funny? Or entertaining? Or even worth putting on the air at all? WWE has no screening process anymore. I am convinced of that now. I thought having the Muppets on RAW was bad. And again at Tribute To The Troops, but enough already!! Even the rubber hand was a better idea than freakin’ Swoggle. Seriously! When they said Mae Young was pregnant, I admit I flinched toward my remote for just a moment in a knee-jerk reaction to turn off RAW and watch….well, anything else. But, I had no interest, so I stayed on USA and lived to regret my decision. Out pops Hornswoggle, and I suddenly felt insulted and somehow dumber for having witnessed that skit in its entirety.
=================================
Brace yourselves, everyone. I’m going to say it! The Shield….is stupid! All three of them. Another way WWE sees fit to insult our intelligence. From day one, they have lied through their teeth to all of us. Blatantly showing their asses with every word out of their mouths. The first time we saw them, what did they do? They interfered in CM Punk’s match by attacking Ryback. Then, they do their best to back-pedal and deny any involvement with CM Punk. Then, they attack Ryback again and several other superstars in the coming weeks. Last time we saw them, they jumped The Rock during his promo against….that’s right…CM Punk!
Seriously?? Come on, guys. You’re killin’ me. This whole thing is all so mind-numbingly retarded. It’s like the creative team isn’t even trying anymore.
=================================
Speaking of not trying anymore, I have to say I am disappointed so far with The Rock this year since his return. He comes back and on the first night, he comes out and cracks jokes and insults. The next week, yet another “Rock Concert”. Like we haven’t seen that millions (and millions) of times before. There’s nothing new or interesting. He cuts a promo against CM Punk on Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday and roughly plagiarizes the iconic “I Have A Dream” speech, making it into the basis of his promo. Really, Rock? The man who has been regarded as one of the all-time greatest mic workers in ALL of entertainment seems to have lost his mojo. Must be hard to come up with the right words when there aren’t any cue cards to read from. You gotta play it safe when there is no director to yell “Cut!” and give you a second and third shot to get your lines right!
Maybe even as early as last year. Honestly, Rock….you lost me at Kung Pow Chicken. What the fuck does that even mean? I can understand the reference to Fruity Pebbles. But, calling someone a Kung Pow Chicken? What are you? Five years old? That doesn’t even make sense. What does that make CM Punk? Shrimp Lo Mein? Mongolian Beef? Moo Goo Gai Pan? Fuck, I don’t know. Neither does The Rock…or the guy who writes his material….or both. All that talk about Chinese food is making me hungry now, and the carry-out place I normally go to is closed. Fuck you, Rock!
=================================
So, I guess by thinking that 3MB is the stupidest thing in recent memory, I totally get the point behind their gimmick. I think I am right, and I’m completely okay with that. Glad someone has a clue. Another victory in my war against WWE’s obvious disrespect and underestimation of the intelligence of its fans.
=================================
Aside from the Mae Young bit that I mentioned earlier, one more thing really set the tone for WWE in the new year. The end of the New Year’s Eve episode of RAW when John Cena dumped feces all over Dolph Ziggler and AJ in the middle of the ring. One word: shitty! Yep, that about sums it up. I’ve been waiting ever since then for WWE to show me something that changes my outlook. So far, they have failed to do so.
=================================
TNA has not been much better. Jeff Hardy is once again their World Champion, and while I am not entirely against that, there has been a lot more left to be desired. The Aces & 8’s storyline is still going on, with Luke Gallows and Mike Knox both being revealed as members after losing their masks. Devon was revealed as their Sergeant At Arms. Proving further that TNA is like the place where WWE has-beens go to live out their last days.
Worst thing as of late has been the storyline involving Brooke Hogan and Bully Ray trying to get Hulk Hogan to accept their relationship. Just terrible and painful to sit through. It’s all so pointless and has no place on the show, if you ask me. Nobody watches wrestling for storylines like that. They call wrestling a “soap opera for men”, and it’s crap angles like this that give wrestling that abhorrent reputation. It’s things like this that make the uninitiated masses look upon life-long wrestling fans like me and snicker at the notion that I actually watch this shit. I am not ashamed, even with such horrible storylines going on (past and present). What makes me a fan is my dedication to the work these men and women put forth in the ring. I admire many of them for their ability. I look up to them for their ability to work the crowd, tell the story and keep the fans entertained. I can honestly do without a lot of the talking and shenanigans that go on outside of the actual in-ring action. I understand it’s a necessary evil in order to drive the current storylines along, and some superstars and Divas have made all that blabbering seem tolerable. I just wish there was less of it. I know I am not the only one who feels like that. I have heard so many people complain about how little actual time is spent on matches as opposed to time spent talking and doing retarded crap backstage.
….and anything having to do with Hornswoggle. If there wasn’t some sort of equal opportunity infraction in firing that little turd, they should have shit-canned him years ago! Bottom line.
=================================
Don’t even get me started on Manti Te’O and his imaginary dead girlfriend! I am so sick of hearing about that ignorant fucktard. I mean, how freakin’ stupid and clueless do you have to be to get caught up in something like that? You have an Internet relationship with some chick who ends up in the hospital and dies from leukemia, and then you find out the person you talked to on the phone was actually a dude pretending to be a woman. This is too priceless to be made up! Don’t you know every hot chick on the Internet is really a 500-lb basement-dwelling troglodyte? Jesus H Christ! Everybody knows that! Get with the fucking program, Man-Tits Tebow!! Or whatever your name is.
=================================
Okay, guys. I am out of here before I do or say anything else that might get a hit put out on me. With any luck, I’ll be back next time for more “honestly brutal” commentary. You know you love it! If you say you don’t, you’re a freaking liar. Just own up! If you hate this, why do you keep coming back? AHA!! Gotcha, bitch!
Until next time, troops…..YOU’RE DISMISSED!!

F4W #170: Trent Baretta RELEASED, Del Rio NEW WHC and Foley in the HOF
Hey everyone welcome back to Have A Nice Day blog. I hope you had a great Christmas break and a Happy New Years. Mine was pretty great. I got to spend time with my family during the holidays. It was such a great visit. Anyway let’s get back into the wrestling shall we…
I’m going to start off with John Cena. His promo this past Monday on RAW was just horrible. I had no idea what the hell he was trying to do or say. This guy is supposed to be the top guy in their company and yet he acts like the top fool in their company! Something is wrong here folks and I don’t know how WWE can fix it. John Cena has become so unbearable to watch or to listen to. The guy can’t wrestle or cut a decent promo. Why does WWE have him as the top guy?! I just don’t get it. I don’t think even turning him heel would do anything good for him. They have made Cena into such a huge joke now; nobody would take him serious as a heel. *Spoiler Alert* I heard rumours that he will be facing The Rock for the WWE Championship at Mania. I don’t think the guy even deserves to be in the main event (let alone a WWE Championship match) because there are way more deserving wrestlers out there who can do a better job than Cena. But Vince McMahon doesn’t see that. He thinks he knows what the WWE Universe wants and that is Cena and his “poppy” jokes. Well I tell you Vince nobody likes it and if you keep insulting us with this Cena garbage you will see a lot of fans turn away from your product. One of the worse things Vince can do is put the WWE Championship back on Cena at Mania. I feel a riot happening at WrestleMania 29.
I found this week’s RAW to be pretty boring for the “go home edition” of RAW for the Rumble. Usually WWE puts on a strong RAW before their PPV. Well this week was just the complete opposite. The only good thing about RAW this week was CM Punks promo. But it wasn’t really his best promo that he has done but still it outshine pretty much anything else on RAW. I’m really looking forward to seeing The Rock vs. CM Punk for the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble. I’m going to be going over to Colleen’s house to watch it with Diva. That should be a fun time. If the PPV ends up being brutal we can always make fun of it. I’m sure between the three of us we can come up with some entertaining remarks. Perhaps we will post some on twitter while we are watching it. Back to Rock/Punk match I have been enjoying the promos from both guys. I know Punk has been the better guy with the promos, but I read the Smackdown spoiler and it seems like The Rock will have a serious promo finally! LOL I guess getting beat down by The Shield this week on RAW has awakened The Great One. It should be a great match to watch!
If you have been watching RAW for the past two weeks you have probably heard by now for this year’s WWE HOF Class of 2013 two wrestlers have been added. They are Mick Foley and Bob Backlund. Both wrestlers deserve to be in the HOF. I’m glad they are getting their chance now. I’m hoping that Macho Man Randy Savage will be inducted this year along with Miss Elizabeth but I’m having my doubts about that one. We shall see. One guy who I would like to get in would be Jake The Snake Roberts. I heard that he has lost over 50 pounds while training with DDP. Way to go Jake. I hope he keeps it up. He was always one of my favourite wrestlers to watch. Even though he had a rough life, he always seemed to entertain for the most part until his later years when it all seemed to catch up with him. I hope Jake is better and just lives the rest of this life normal as possible.
We did picks for the Royal Rumble this year and I picked Sheamus to win it again. I hope he does. I rather see him than Cena win it. But I have a feeling Cena will end up winning it and will go onto WrestleMania. You can check out the rest of our predictions at the end of our blog.
I hope you guys like our new format for the Fatal 4-Way. We have decided to do just a monthly blog now instead of every week. Our lives have changed so much so it has been harder to keep up with doing blogs every week. This way you will get better blogs and perhaps more LOL moments from our one liner we have. I know I will.
Recently I have noticed Zack Ryder has become really annoying lately on Twitter. A lot of his tweets really don’t have any purpose. I mean I feel bad for the guy because he just wants to be over with the fans (which he did very well until WWE killed it) and now I just seem him as someone who is desperate to get noticed. I hate it. Someone in WWE really hates him and they try to do everything they can to make him look bad. But the guy doesn’t give up he just complains. I don’t know what he can do to get back where he was two years ago. For starters I think he needs to come up with something new. I know he just finished up his youtube show. Now I think he needs something fresh and he needs to stop complaining about how WWE treats him. I don’t want to say become a sell out because I don’t want that either. He just needs to find someone in creative who can vouch for him. He is entertaining and he isn’t too bad on the eyes either. Maybe his music career will help him out. I haven’t watched his video yet but I plan to do that sometime soon. I just hate seeing good talent like him being wasted when he deserves so much more.
Anyone miss Brock Lesnar? I kinda do actually. I know he will be coming back very soon, so I’m looking forward to seeing him kick some more asses. WWE does need him and I heard he plans on staying with them for at least another year after this WrestleMania. So sorry Diva Brock won’t be leaving anytime soon! LOL
Anyway that’s it for me this month! I hope you enjoyed my blog and I will see you soon! Have A Nice Day!! J You can reach me @blitz101 on Twitter or check out my tumblr http://glclub.tumblr.com
Well it’s officially the first Skirt Sheet of 2013. How has the past few weeks been treating all y’all? Have you missed us? I tell you I feel so much better and not as stressed out about writing. I just hope everyone’s new years has started out wonderfully. But enough with the small talk, it’s time to shut it and get to bidness.
A lot has gone on since the year has started in the world of professional wrestling. I’m not even really sure where to start. I can honestly say, I have officially given up on TNA. They are very very gross. So we are going to start there.
1) I’m sorry but did Velvet Sky have some work done on her face? She doesn’t look at all the same as before. Her cheeks are to injected, her eyes higher up on her face, her nose and God only knows what…
2) WHY? WHY in all of tarnation would anyone want to marry Brooke Hogan? She’s been passed around times then a communion cup. The only thing that doesn’t surprise me is that she’s going after someone who is old enough to be her father since her father and all his old friend have had a piece of Brooke Hogan. It’s just disgusting! Blech!
3) I should really be careful considering that Hulk Hogan can’t take any criticism or blame and sues everyone. This time he’s suing a medical facility who he claims fucked up his back even more. He claims that the Laser Spine Institute in Tampa, Florida, performed unnecessary surgeries that damaged his career, and is suing them for $50 million. He’s also claiming that the unnecessary surgeries that he had in 2009 prevented him from having a lucrative match with John Cena at WrestleMania 25. Well, that’s his word against everybody else’s. I never heard that rumour at all. It is isn’t uncommon that he’s full of shit! Hello, his autobiography. That was such a crock of shit.
4) So they call them selves Aces and Eights. They are like this old man biker club. What are they? TNA’s idea of WWE’s The Shield??
OK I’m so done with TNA… Literally!
Moving on to WWE!
1) Ding Dong the Bitch is gone!!!
Happy days are here again!!
2) Or are they?
Really? Of all the Diva’s? Seriously? Why not Tamina or Natalya? They are the only two that can actually have a real match, and yet they give the Diva’s title to a noob, like Kaitlyn? I’m shaking my head over here!
3) I don’t even understand why, WHY Natalya is being put with Khali, who by the way I refuse to refer to as The Great Khali, because he is NOT great. OMG who the hell believes that? Why is he getting all these matches on television? Has the world gone bat shit crazy? And why is every sentence a question?
4) CM Punk delivered one of the most epic promos and it started the year off with so much hope. January 7th was one of the best RAW’s we’ve had this year and even in the past few months. Punk delivered a promo that was dead on. The entire thing. Minus The Rock’s part. The Rock, is very similar to Paul McCartney. He’s a strong singer, but his song writing is mostly fluff. Well The Rock is like a singer. His voice and delivery is strong but the shit he says is mostly fluff. I also promise that would be the last time I compare a wrestler to a Beatle.
“You’re playing little league with your little insults and your rhymes and your millions and millions and your finally’s, and I’m in the big leagues and I’m swinging for the fence. You need to understand that your little jabs and your insults, it’s all kiddie games. You can’t leave a mark on the champ’s face. Come Royal Rumble, understand when you step in the ring, your arms are just too short to box with God.”
CM Punk, has always said what we here have been saying all along. That quote above, is epic. That one paragraph says so much more than you realize. When you get to the end of this blog, check out another quote from Punk’s epic promo. Because if you have been listening to everything that I’ve been saying this blog all last year, then you’ll see that I’m not the only one who has noticed.
5) On WWE.com some of the superstars who were mentioned in CM Punk’s “Pipe Bomb” responded, including 16 time Champion Ric Flair and the workhorse Tyson Kidd. I had also read Brodus Clay’s response to the pipe bomb. What are my thoughts on this? Well, I’ll tell ya…Brodus Clay played up his babyface character and said that Punk never should have mentioned his name because it wasn’t true. Um, yeah it is. Brodus Clay must have forgotten that when he was brought into the WWE from NXT originally he was Alberto Del Rio’s monster. Then he comes back as this kitschy gimmick. Way to either play up your character so the WWE looks good, or way to suck up to the creative team who made you and Vince McMahon who approved it (if he didn’t come up with it himself). Flair, also, took the more diplomatic approached and chose not to agree with Punk on anything. He said that the fans do matter and that he has always wanted the fans to leave, saying they saw everything they expected and more when they saw him. He performed to gain the fans respect.
“Like I said, if you like me or don’t like me, learn to love it baby, because it is the best thing going today. And that’s the quote I’ll drop on him [down the line] if I see him. WOO!!!”-Flair
But I have to really commend Tyson Kidd. He didn’t choose the higher road. Instead he seemed happy that Punk said his name and mentioned his work ethic. Punk hasn’t been the only one taking notice of Kidd’s work ethic. That is something I’ve mentioned often. But it was Kidd’s response to Punk’s “pipe bomb” that I respect and agree with…
“My initial reaction was that: A.) These people understand and care, too, and B.) Punk is 100 percent right. I respect CM Punk to the highest degree. If he comes out in his gear, I’m excited. If he comes out with a microphone, I’m equally excited. Love him or hate him, he’s good at what he does. I’ve always considered myself a workhorse, and I’ve definitely used that word to describe myself over the last two years. I go out there and give it my all every single match — and I’ve been doing that for 17 years. Whether in WWE or Japan or Europe or back home in [Calgary, Alberta’s] Stampede Wrestling, it’s always been the same story. In a worst-case scenario, I will out wrestle everybody on this show. Anyone that’s gonna out wrestle me had better perform after me, because I’m going to outperform everybody that I saw before me.”
-Tyson Kidd
He isn’t blowing smoke out his ass either when he says that he works harder than everybody else. So kudos to Tyson Kidd for saying exactly what was true of his current state.
6) Tyson Kidd also has the unlucky draw of being the first person severely injured in 2013. Well actually he closed out 2012 with the injury. He had tears in his right ACL and meniscus and a slight MCL tear as well. All have been repaired, and fixed. The injury could have been way worse. A dislocated knee that would have ruptured all the tendons and ligaments at the same time. Kidd avoided disaster by getting the knee fixed now. He dropped twenty-pounds before the surgery to make it easier to keep extra weight off his knee but doing a very structured cardio routine as well as going on a juice diet. He plans on attacking his physio therapy with the same attack he takes to the ring. According to WWE.com, they say he can be back in seven to nine months, but Kidd plans on being back in six.
7) I suppose I should actually talk about this upcoming pay-per-view. The Royal Rumble has been one of my favourites my entire life. The uniqueness of it all, but this year that uniqueness is gone because of the predictability of it all. Unless a last minute change takes place, I can tell you right now what’s going to happen and then tell you what’s going to transpire at WrestleMania on April 7th. And us loyal, true and intelligent fans are not going to be happy. They pretty much already spoiled the fact that John Cena is the only person to win the Royal Rumble on the 27th of January. Oddly that’s tomorrow and guess who is in the Rumble? Cena. Plus they keep bringing up the number of past superstars who have won the Rumble twice. So right there you know it’s going to be someone who has already won it once before. Cena’s won it once before. So there’s two dead give away as to who will win the Royal Rumble. Which leads me to my next pisser. *****SPOILER ALERT***** I saw a post that said that at WrestleMania 29 it was going to be The Rock vs. John Cena for the WWE Championship. So guess what that means? CM Punk will not be WWE Champions after tomorrow. Nope, The Rock will. Where he will then proceed to drop the title to John Cena at a very anti-climatic Rock vs. Cena 2 match at the Show of Shows. I wasn’t impressed with the first Rock vs. Cena, I sure as hell am not looking forward to a number two. Well maybe a different kind of number 2 (haha Sarge will be so proud that I slipped that poop joke in there. Maybe I’ll get brownie (ha! Brownie) points for slipping a poop joke in in the same sentence as Rock vs. Cena). **** SPOILERS OVER***** I don’t really want to go too in depth at what I think is going to happen at the Royal Rumble because then where would my predictions be? Not a surprise. I think it’s safe to say, I’m going on what I’ve heard, not what I want to happen. Because if I went with what I want to happen they would look like this; CM Punk retains; Del Rio retains; Team Rhodes Scholars become tag team champions; and Wade Barrett wins the Rumble. But as the Rolling Stones say, “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”.
Who has basically had enough of the whole Dr. Shelby and the Anger Management segments? Don’t get me wrong I find the hugging stuff funny, but when they do it to people who aren’t usually full of humour or expecting it. Like Randy Orton. OMG that was funny. But when they did it Monday night and made everyone in the arena hug, it was over done. Way too much. As much as this has to suck for Kane’s character, it works because he is so unlikely a hugger. Yet he adds the comical relief along with Daniel Bryan’s facial expressions. They are defending the tag team championship against Team Rhodes Scholars. Another team that seem to work together quite well. Damien Sandow, also has great facial expressions that help pull the fans in to what he’s feeling or thinking by just a movement of the eyes or the brow line. Cody Rhodes, well there isn’t much to say about Cody Rhodes, except what the fuck is with that mustache? All the wrestlers are having a blast with it but he keeps it anyways. I just keep thinking…
I mean seriously, it makes him look über creepy! But I will say, I cannot think of one WWE superstar or diva who has not made fun of or mocked Rhodes’ mustache whether it actually WWE television or on twitter. Someone has mentioned it. And well, it does have us all talking.
Well I think I’ve blabbered on enough seeing as this has turned into a massive, well I don’t know what. But Lets just say the pictures take up a lot of room but they were worth it! Until next month. One thought to leave you with, I can’t wait for Mick Foley’s Hall of Fame speech, but I will probably miss it if Bob Backland goes first because that’s going to put me to sleep. Because, In Life…There Are Winners, and There Are Losers….Be Jealous and Be Sexy!
