Royal Rumble 2015

  Annnnnnnnnd here we go again! Royal Rumble time 2015!!! Historically this has been a great match keeping you on edge with near eliminations and I am sure tonight will be no different. I've seen a number of different predictions on who will win but I am wondering who may show up as a surprise participant??

                      Match #1 New Day vs Cesaro,Tyson Kidd


 It's hard to believe they have busted Cesaro down to the point he is an opning match for a PPV thats not really an official on the card match. It's the freebie for the wwe universe before the actual PPV begins.  I'm not really a Big E fan but Kofi Kingston is providing to nice high flying moves for the crowd to enjoy. The match went about 10 minutes with Cesaro & Kidd getting the win from a combination Cesaro uppercut in tyson Kidd's finisher which  was pretty nice. Winners- Cesaro & Kidd


                 Match #2  The Ascension vs The New Age Outlaws


 The match hasnt started as I am writing this but I suspect the outlaws are just hear to put over Ascension. They get their payback from Raw I suppose but you know I'm pulling for the Road D-O double G & Baddass Billy Gunn to win. Outlaws had several good spots there ...road dogg showing his usual self doing some shuckin & jiving but as I expected it was a squash match. I would have had enough respect for the outlaws to have last longer than that but this is what WWE does. I think Ascension should be under a different gimmick though. Face paint & shoulderpads do not make you an awesome team like JBL said. Winners - Ascension


                           Match #3 The Usos vs The Miz & Mizdow

  Here is a prime example of what I mentioned in previous blog. The Uso's can be exciting but their matches are all the same. You can call the move before it happens and we are force fed them every week vs the same opponent. I'm begging fo the day they give Damien Sandow a push away from Miz. Decent match even though we have seen it a thousand times, both sides went back and forth with mizdow wven hitting the miz's finisher but the Uso's pulled it out with usual super kick into a splash from top. Winner - Uso's.


                        Match #4 The Bella Twins vs Paige & Natalya


 Welcome to what I like to refer to as filler time. The Bella twins have come together recently to be a team and have pretty much controlled the womens division. I also have to say I am a little impressed with the Bella's teamwork. They have had some nice tag double team moves. I thought Natalya would give more of a fight and  Paige hardly had any time in match. The Bellas won though with a forearm smash from Brie Bella.  Winners- Bella Twins


                              Match #5 Cena vs Lesnar vs Rollins


   This should be a great match. I'm curious to see if any of the three will align together to take one down and then move to each other. There doesn't seem to be any love loss at all between the three in any way and I picture this one going for a good while. Lesnar & Cena immediatly start on each other while Rollins cowers outside and the theory of any two aligning is shot because they are taking shots all around. Lesnar has done his one offensive suplex about a dozen times in 2 minutes (just kidding) and it is anyones match at this point. No real dominance shown yet except for Lesnar doing the german suplex about 8 times (not kidding this time).Lesnar going for that chicken wing submission early on Cena but Rollins flies from top rope onto both of them. Match has progressed on with some signature moves by Cena such as the shouldert tackles into the side slam/5 knuckle shuffle and we have our first real key moment with brock receiving 3 FU's from Cena and a curb stomp from rollins. Rollins made a very impressive leap from top rope splashing Brock on the announce table and while Brock is out Cena and Rollins are putting on a good show. This is what I do not understand. I didnt hear that is was no DQ match so why are Rollin's goons outside allowed to come in and beat ppl down right in front of the referee???? Complete Bull and no Rollins has the suitcase as a weapon. Cena ducks it & throws him over top rope then beats down J&J security with a double FU. Rollins builds up some good momentum on cena and almost gets pin but lesnar makes his way back in and stops the pin. The 2 fight back and forth and Rollins uses the suitcase on lesnar twice and goes for a curb stomp on the suitcase but Lesnar jumps up & catches him into the F5 one last time & gets the pin. Winner & still champ- Brock Lesnar


                                Match #6  The Royal Rumble Match


  Miz & R-Truth start us out with not to much to like till the 3rd number comes out & low & behold who do we have??? Bubba Ray Dudley!!! A few double teams on Miz and he is first to be eliminated. R truth tries to take out Bubba Ray but fails and goes out as Luke Harper comes in. Harper & Dudley go at it till next number appears and its Bray Wyatt. Harper & Wyatt eliminate Dudley & next was Curtis Axel I think but Eric Rowan takes him out & takes his place. Wyatt & Harper team up on Rowan as well but while Harper was beating on Rowan Wyatt eliminated both. Now the WWE is just throwing names out there for fun I guess...The Boogeyman is next out of the gate and lasts maybe 30 seconds followed by Sin Cara and Wyatt got rid of him too. Zach Ryder makes his appearance as the next one and gets about 10 seconds of offense in before Wyatt eliminated him. Wyatt takes his breathers while talking smack between each one and finally a name comes out in Danial Bryan. Now we shuld start getting some action here.The next participant is Fandango. Fandango & Bryan go back & forth while Wyatt is laid out in corner and trade blows till the countdown starts and Tyson Kidd comes out. They try double teaming Bryan but arent having a lot of luck as Bryan gets the best of them.  Next at 13 is Stardust and momentas after he gets in Tyson Kidd gets eliminated by Bryan. Number 14 is none other than freaking DDP! At this point Im begging for it to be DDP but we know it wont be. At the moment Danial Bryan and Wyatt are left outside ring where they went through middle rope. Wyatt makes his way back in and attacks DDP and DDP has layed the Diamond Cutter on every one but Daniel Bryan so far. Rusev has now wntered the ring as the next competitor and he stalks to the ring after DDP. He almost gets diamond cutter on him but Rusev eliminates ddp and fandango one after another. Now Rusev and Wyatt face off and out of nowhere Danial Bryan flies in and takes both down. Daniel Bryan is now eliminated by Bryan and thats Wyatt's 6th person he has eliminated. Now Golddust enters at 16 and takes on both Wyatt and Rusev. Cody Rhodes finally up &tried to eliminate gold dust!!! Now they are fighting! Still shocking to see Danial Bryan to go out this early. Next person in at 17 is Kofe Kingston. Kingston almost goes out twice but saves himself just like last year. The action has really picked up here as the ring fills up and you can hardly keep up who is going where. At 18 now Adam Rose comes in with his rosebuds. Please throw him right out ... I hate the character image. Kofe Kingston gets thrown out again but lands on Rosebuds and saves himself but thankfully Rose is eliminated right after he gets in. Right after that Kingston goes out and this time is gone leaving the dusts in there fighting wyatt & rusev. Now at 19 we see Roman Reigns ... business is picking up. Roman makes his way down the Aisles into the ring and both star & gold dust take him on but reigns is taking everyone on.Golddust eliminated ...stardust eliminated. At 20 we get Big E coming in. Reigns is still going at it with Reigns as Big E and Rusev go. The action in ring continues as number 21 comes in and we have Mizdow. The crowd pops huge but Miz comes down and doesnt let him in and takes his place till he gets knocked back down and mizdow runs in anyways After a couple of impressive moves he gets thrown out and falls back to imitating miz ...humorous but they misuse him so badley. At 22 we have Jack Swagger come in...what do we say??? WE THE PEOPLE!!!! Immediatly takes on Rusev and is trying to dump him over till Bray Wyatt stops it. Reigns and Big E are in the corner fighting with Big E trying to throw him over. Entering at 23 we have the hungriest guy in the company ...FEED HIM MORE!!! Ryback goes straight for Rusev too. Ryback has laid everyone out including Roman Reigns. As it has gone so far, Bray Wyatt has come to Rusevs aide. They seem to have a partnership of sorts working here & Wyatt has been in for 30 minutes already. Number 24 comes in as Corporate Kane. He goes after Ryback trying to eliminate him  and almost does it but Ryback makes it back in.  Swagger is almost out by Big E but hanging on. Number 25 is Ambrose the lunatic Fringe.He is going nuts on Kane,Wyatt & Rusev.Several good spots in this minute till t he next comes in. Ryback almost got thrown out but saved himself again. Number 26 comes in as Titus Oneal. No major threat there as he goes out in 3 seconds. Now back to the fights again. No immediate threats of being gone just ppl trading blows. Wyatt is still in at 38 minute mark. Number 27 is Bad News Barrett makes his way in to deliver some bad news and he is making NO friends as he goes after Ambrose and Kane both just as it should be.Who will we see at 28??? Cesaro at 28. I would say that you can't underestimate him but they have him buried so far he most likely won't last too long.We have about 10 men in the ring now so someone has to be going soon and as I type that Big E is gone. Number 29 is the Big Show. Everyone stops as he makes his way in and EVERYONE jumps on him at once. Ryback is now out followed by Swagger. Kane & Big show are choke slamming everyone. Kane has just reached 39 career eliminations in the rumble. Finally at 30 Dolph Ziggler come in. He has eliminated Barrett and took on both big show & kane & set them down. Cesaro ALMOST eliminates Ziggler but he hangs on and drags cesaro over the top and fights on the ring apron till he eliminates Cesaro. Ziggler flys back in frome top rope but takes a knockout punch from big show and gets tossed over with ease. Wyatt is now out leaving Big Show, Kane against Reigns and Ambrose. Just like Shield vs Authority again for now. Ambrose choke slammed by Big Show and he is eliminated leaving Big show & Kane vs Roman Reigns. The final three left and the crowd is not happy with the current results as they chant the favorite BS chant. Reigns in the mean time is taking a good beating by the 2 and they have almost eliminated him until big show trys to turn on kane and eliminate him which does not make Kane happy so he turns his attn to him and they fight but as they turn their backs fighting Roman Reigns eliminates them both.  Match is over but they come back in and double team him with a double choke slam. BAM!! The Rocks music hits & the rock comes in!!!Lays out big show, drops the elbow on Kane. Big show comes back in and tried to choke slam Rock but he takes a kick to groin into the Superman Punch then into a Rock Bottom....Rock goes back outside ring but wait .... Rusev was never eliminated. He sneaks back in and tries to take Roman out but Reigns sends him flying out for the OFFICIAL win. Now HHH ^ Steph comes out staring the rock down not being too happy with what he did.Nothing was said but as they back their way out Reigns points to t he Wrestlemania sign to let them know he is on his way. I think I have seen better Rumble matches but this one was not bad. 


                                        Final Thoughts


  Overall this was a pretty good PPV. As I said I think I have seen better Rumble matches but it was pretty good. Reigns continues to get his push I expected a longer match from the World Title 3 way match but there was some big spots in it that highlighted the match. I know I am hard on the divas division but the Bellas did look better as a tag team with some well timed moves. The WWE is STARVING for a good tag team division and we may never get it.  One more note, in the aftermath of the PPV they were interviewing Cena where he actually gave Lesnar & Rollins their props but as the interviewer asked what was next for Cena we might have been given t he answer because Rusev stormed in and stole the mic and shoved Cena out of the way and they go nose to nose. Everyone comes in and separated them as the camera was going off of them. It was great to see Bubba Ray Dudley make an appearance and AWESOME to see quite a few people feel the BANG! from DDP. All in all pretty good.


  Hope everybody enjoyed the report and as always leave comments and please share with all your friends!


   


                                                                      

Where Did Tag Team Wrestling Go???

   I guess I am going to show my age here because I have to dig deep to find enough quality tag teams to talk about. Seriously everybody, where did great tag team wrestling go??? As a fan of the territories that used to exist, I can tell you that I was PRIVILEGED to grow up watching the greatest tag teams in wrestling history.  Yes there was still wrestlers that were considered singles wrestlers that made good tag teams but your great ones were pure tag team specialists.  

  I recently watched the documentary Rock n Roll Express Never Dies and it is a must have for any fan of theirs or just a fan of territories period. They were probably the greatest tag team in wrestling history yet WWE has not recognized them into the HOF as of yet which is truly a shame. Their feuds with the Midnight Express were epic and have never really been duplicated. The Midnight Express were great heels, they drew major heat wherever they went. The 2 teams fought all across the US selling out $80,000 & $100,000 gates which was almost unheard of in their day. The Fantastics were brought about a few years after the other two teams and just like them had a great chemistry about them, and that is one thing we dont see a lot of today. Yes, we have The USO's in WWE & The Wolves in TNA but what other tag teams do we really have that are entertaining and have that "it" factor that qualifies them as a tru tag team???

  The Fabulous Ones were a favorite of mine growing up. They had the look that drove the women wild in the stands yet the guys still liked them because they were tough and had memorable feuds with The Moondogs & The Sheepherders. They had great team work and were very charismatic. I've had some people tell me they weren't great on the mic but back in that time you didn't have the great talkers like The Rock or Stone Cold Steve Austin. You know why???? Because we were treated to wrestling matches for the bulk of the show and not 75% talk & 25% wrestling matches. They like everyone else in their time held their own on the mic and kicked tail in the ring.

  What else do we have today? The Ascension???? Really??? A less than stellar mockery of The Road Warriors. The L.O.D. were not technical wrestlers by any means but they brought in a unique look at the time and gave you that indestructible feel. Once again, not great on the mic but decent and they had Precious Paul Ellering for a mouthpiece. I think that WCW & WWE both made a great attempt a while back to revive the dead tag team industry with teams like The Steiners, Doom, Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson in the WCW & WWE brought us The Dudley Boys, Hardy Boys & Edge & Christian. The Midnight Express, Fantastics & RnR Express were being faded out of existence in the major companies and they tried to bring in young talent. WWE had some great matches with their three teams I listed but this was during the attitude era with hardcore matches like Tables,Ladders & Chair matches.I would say that the WWE had better overall tag teams in that era then WCW did because you have to throw in The APA and The New Age Outlaws into the mix as well. WCW had better singles matches and singles put together as tag teams like Lex Lugar & Sting but even that died out.


  One last thing to leave you with, there used to be a real flow to a tag team match.The same also goes to singles matches as well really.The hero would always start out well and take control but the heel would always do something  dirty to make the fans mad to take control and give the hero a beating for a while. Now if the teams were great as most of them were they would sell that beating to the crowd and get them riled up against the heel and then that second or third wind would come up & the hero would make the hot tag and his partner would clean house until they built up to the finishing move being executed and you didn't see a kick out at two. Once the finisher (whether it was a simple double dropkick or clotheline or move off top rope) was executed it was done & the crowd was on their feet counting with the ref and the pop would be huge. Show me one match today where we get a build up, singles or tag team. You can't really! There are some matches that hold your attn no doubt but the suspense is not really there. We as fans can practically call a matches end ourselves.


  A lot of today's young stars don't seem to have the same appreciation for the fans either. There are some exceptions like John Cena who makes a lot of make a wish foundation requests come true. When you went to an event back in territory days you could go meet the stars at a table & have your pictures or programs signed. You do not get that now. They wanna sell merchandise and that is it. Disappointing to say the least but it is what we have now.


  In closing, I just wanna say that I hope the WWE finally gets off their high horse and takes off their blinders and recognizes the great tag teams of the past. We as fans want to see The Rock n Roll Express, Midnight Express, The Fabs, The British Bulldogs, The Freebirds and so on and so on in the HOF. They DESERVE their spots there as does Ivan Koloff. Please, please PLEASE hear what we are asking for & make it happen!

  I hope you enjoyed today's article and will pass it on & share with friends. Please like & comment as well as I love hearing other's points of views on my topics especially with the territorial days.

WWE 2014 Survivor Series

Is this the PPV that you always used to wait for? It had a great feel to it and it was unique in it's fashion in being an elimination tag match, 5 on 5, 3 on 3 hell sometimes 4 on 1!  But the survivor series has evolved into just another PPV and it hasn't been the same in a while. 

The show starts off with a 4 way tag elimination match featuring the Usos, Los Matadores, The Miz & Mizdow & the tag champs Star & Gold dust. The match was alright, it had a lot of fast pace action, high flying moves as you would expect from the Usos & Matadores. The miz was mimicked by mizdow as expected and well, the Dust's were whatever you describe them as. A part of me wanted the belts to stay where they were but it's nice to see change. Just as it looked like the Miz was gonna get the win by tagging himself in The Mizdow mimicked that as well and tagged himself in instead and got the winning pin to win the belts. The miz looked mad at first but thought hey, we're champs!!! 

The next match was a diva elimination match and you guys know what I think about the majority of the divas matches. It's just there to fill time and so I got up & made a sandwich. Came back and it was almost over so I was happy.  Paige's team lost.

One of the highlights of the night was Bray Wyatt vs Dean Ambrose. PLEASE, tell me who is the bigger lunatic here? They both absorb pain like a sponge and wring it back out on the other. Lot of hard hitting moves in this bout, viscous clothelines, signature moves. But as I kinda expected, Ambrose was not out for a win, he was out for blood.....and he took it. This is not John Cena playing good guy not stooping to Wyatt's level. This is Dean freakin Ambrose the lunitic fringe. He took the chair to wyatt & then dirty deeds on the chair. He brought out a table and set him on it & drove the elbow from the top rope through the chest of Wyatt taking him through the table. These are 2 of the big future stars that we have in the WWE and they are a bright future along with a few more if the company plays its cards right.

And here we go with yet anther filler match with the bunny rabbit & the dancing queen Adam Rose teaming against Slater & the other guy who's name I can't remember. Anyways, 4 minutes and it was over bunny rabbit gets the win.

Finally, the match of the night has come and people let me tell you. I absolutely loved this match. It had the humor of Henry going out in seconds with one Big Show punch. BAM! 5 vs 4 now. Team Cena dominate for the first while with  Rybeck tearing each one a new one for a few minutes till every man was in the ring which had the ref turned away trying to restore order. Seth Rollins out of nowhere with a big flying knee to rybeck and then Rybeck being eliminated. Back to 4 vs 4. The fight continues on for a few minutes of good offense. Eric Rowan looked impressive as well did Team Authority's Luke Harper. Eric Rowan went on a nice offensive spree but yet again (and right in front of the referee) Ambrose stops that and they eliminate Rowan. Now the Authority has the advantage 4 vs 3. Cena is down hurt, Ziggler on the floor outside hurt & Big Show steps back up facing down the Authority. Cena not giving up makes his way back up to the shock of everyone with the Big Show knocking him back out & turning his back on Team Cena!!! Big Show walks over and shakes HHH's hand and walks out. It looked like he didnt want to do it from the look on his face but I dunno. C ena is now eliminated and Big Show eliminates himself by leaving.  We are now 4 vs 1 in favor o the Authority. I'm not gonna lie, at this point I was disgusted. Yet another WWE screwjob and I'm tired of them. You pretty much figure that Ziggler will eliminate atleast one member and he does so by eliminating Kane first. Harper comes in and works him over for a while but out of nowhere comes a quick roll up by Ziggler and now Harper is gone!! I forgot to say that Rusev was counted out earlier fighting with Ziggler outside and hurt himself trying a high risk move that sent him through a table. Ziggler just beat the count in but Rusev did not. Ok, back to the present time in match. It has come down now to just Ziggler & Rollins and this was where it got awesome. We seen big move after big move exchanged with Ziggler getting several near pins and rollins as well and just when Ziggler looked to have it won.....HHH pulls ref out & knocks him out. Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!? Come on!!!  The body guards for Ambrose get in to work Ziggler over and he takes them out and nailed his finisher on Rollins yet a second time and once more HHH comes in. This time he takes it upon himself to whip Ziggler down and plant the pedigree on him. BAM end of story, rolls Rollins over on top of him and motions for his ref to come down. The ref starts to count and the lights go down....strobes start going...the Titantron is playing some new intro and music hits and you hear it for the first time ... the sound of a crow!!! Out walks no less than STING himself. The 10 yr old kid in me started marking out inside just like I did everytime I seen my old faves run out as a kid kicking butts and taking names later. Sting walks to the r ing and HHH stares in shock and the staredown begins. They circle each other till HHH finally mans up and takes a swing. One quick duck, a kick & A death drop later and sting has eliminated HHH from the picture. He rolls Ziggler back on top and walks out & the ref from outside rolls in and sees the pin and counts it 1...2....3!!!! Very Awesome end to the match that is setting up one helluva Raw on Monday night. Now the only person that can ever bring the Authority back into Power is John Cena.

I would personally like to give MY thanks to the WWE for one, not letting the Authority to continue getting their way and two, not letting it be Cena that finished them off. That was HUGE for Ziggler and it shows that he is not the only thing we have to cheer for on this show. Now, if we could just get a decent tag team division again. But that's another store for another day. 

Thanks for reading and if you liked what I layed down then like it & share it please. If you have any thoughts, please post them, I'd love to hear your angle, your view or anythng you would like to input.

SummerSlam 2014 Results, Hogan News, Foley's Thoughts & Brock Lesnar

SummerSlam 2014 Results, Hogan News, Foley's Thoughts & Brock Lesnar

                                      

   Well, another SummerSlam has come & gone, so what did you think?? Well you know me, I'm letting you know what I think of it! My only hopes are that the WWE & Mick Foley both can read this somehow & see what a lot of us are thinking about the state of wrestling today & how they are helping drive it down. While t here were some entertaining matches last night there were also some disappointments. Your diva division is practically a joke today yet you made a good match with Stephanie McMahon & Brie Bella. I don't think many people seen it coming that her sister Nikki would turn on her yet you played it out well, kudos on that. The Jericho vs Wyatt match was great and you allowed Wyatt to regain his spot by taking Jericho out this time. Randy Orton vs Roman Reigns was a great match with great spots in it. Most of us probably figured Reigns would win but you almost had us think Randy would pull it out a couple of times. 

   Now, that being said, you ruined the Lumberjack match the way you handled it, the diva match was a filler match at best although I think Paige could be used better. Perhaps look for some better talent to face her and bring them in and drop some of the pretty faces. While it's nice Ziggler is getting a push finally you gave them a short match. Maybe you could have extended that a bit & cut out the diva's match??? I dunno, just saying. I can not understand for the life of me why you are burying Jack Swagger like you are. He has more talent falling out of his butt then Rusev does overall yet you continue to push Rusev. Has Cesaro really fallen down that bad that he has to be pre show material and still lose??? I like RVD but Cesaro is some of that new talent just not being used properly. Tell you what, call Jarrett up & ask him if he wants Cesaro & Swagger and maybe he will take them off your hands. 

   And finally the main event......I am 41 years old and have been watching wrestling since 1979. I can not ever remember watching a champion that was supposed to be so big to the company get manhandled with no chance like you did John Cena. He got destroyed, decimated, mauled, manhandled, bullied & just plan humiliated by Lesnar. How do you plan on bringing that man back and be a credible wrestler contending for the title again??? We aren't buying it. Not even if you bring him back heel .....so what? He got creamed by Lesnar. CM Punk and the Rock & the Undertaker didn't yet Cena has beaten the Rock and Punk for sure. Where is your thinking?? I hope you are reading this cause I challenge you to show us how you make up for this. That's just my first challenge.

   My second challenge goes to Mick Foley. Mick Foley states that Brock Lesnar winning the belt in the fashion he did was best for business. I'm hoping that's a part of his comedy act cause if not I challenge you as well to show us WHY that is best for business. I know people threatening not to watch it anymore cause you have an overgrown muscled up bully that has no real love for wrestling now carrying the belt. He rarely shows up and doesn't wrestle on TV it seems just shows up & F5's a person and prances around like he's a prize fighter ready to box.

   Take a good long look at that picture because that is why we are going downhill today. "Best for Business" means "I'm HHH and I do what I want not what the fans think would be good" If you guys weren't running the show yet just a part of it then it wouldn't be so bad. Stephanie draws real heat on her right now with that snotty attitude she is portraying and I'm not even sure what HHH is supposed to be. Look, this has been done before ... it was called The Corporation and it was OK at first then fizzled out. Can't you be original???? 

   Enough of them, I'm tired of giving them more publicity. Hulk Hogan has been reported saying that he wants one more match before he leaves and apparently the bit where he told Hulk Hogan That "the party's over grandpa" wasn't scripted and Hogan didn't appreciate it. He recently cut a promo stating he wanted Lesanr in a match. Good luck selling that one. I've rambled on enough for now. Comment with your thoughts on how you feel things are going or leave comments on anything discussed here. If you like please share with your friends and follow me weekly.

Summer Slam 2014

Summer Slam 2014

   Well, the time for Summer Slam is upon us yet again and the BIG match that most are awaiting is John Cena vs. Brock Lesner. Both men had their final words for Raw this past Monday night with Paul Heyman attempting a little rap of his own and John Cena returning his shot at how he might unleash the "bad guy" the fans seem to want him to be when they boo him every night.

   There are other great matches on the card as well and I will be doing a match by match call on the blog for those who cant watch and wanna know whats going on.

   In the meantime, tell me about your favorite Summer Slam match or moment that has happened and let's get the excitement rolling for the summer party of wrestling!

   In the mean time, here is a Summer Slam moment from 2011 to hold you over.

Scott Hall: Survey Says.....A Loss for the Bad Guy

Scott Hall: Survey Says.....A Loss for the Bad Guy

   Well, just when you thought he was doing OK and *maybe*, just maybe, making good on his bad side, Scott Hall shows at a wrestling fan show of some sort & shows out yet again.  You see, there is this young kid and a lot of you may already be familiar with this topic already, and all he wants to cheer him up is cards.....letters....word of encouragement from just anyone willing to mail him something. He enjoys seeing his name on the letter or postcard and it gives him just a little bit more hope that he will beat out what he is up against. He isn't in a hell in a cell ... no..... not in a last man standing match ... not even close...he is not even the first participant in the royal rumble. Danny Nickerson is facing a battle with cancer and its bigger than any other thing you or I could be up against right now.  5 years old ......and facing a challenge of a lifetime.

   I participated in a discussion on this in the facebook group I belong too called No Holds Barred and we all pretty much agreed that if this is true then it is a pretty sickening thing to do. I don't care if a kid walks over to you with a play phone and answers it & tells you its for you, you take that phone and say hello like you are taking the call. What can you possibly be doing that is so important that you cant take 5 minutes and sign a birthday card for the kid and say a kind work on video???? Fans just recently helped pay for your hip surgery through a fund raiser and you cant sign a card??? Check out this audio from Brett Hart who attended the event AND signed the card  might add.

   It is great to know that there are some professionals out there not just thinking of themselves and took a time out from their schedule and showed some compassion for a sick and deserving kid with such a simple request. Scott Hall used to be someone we could have hope for if he ever got over his demons. At this point, I rate him under the gum on the bottom of my shoe. If you noticed above I used the name Danny Nickerson as a link to his story & it has an address that you can send cards too. I hope that anyone reading this takes a couple of moments to send one themselves and I would like to leave you on this note with watching the following video of the stars that signed his card and left him video messages.

   As always, like the post, leave comments on the article & tell me your thoughts or maybe just leave a note for the young kid and maybe he will get the message through another person. Share this with your friends on all social media platforms lets make this one go viral for the kid. Thanks for reading.
