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.

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.

Previous WWE Champion Daniel Bryan Foils Robbery of His Home





Previous WWE Champion Daniel Bryan Foils Robbery of His Home


    Now I have heard some stories in the past about home invasions or robberies gone bad, don't get me wrong. I once watch David Letterman I think it was with Brandon Lee explaining how he stopped a guy from robbing him. He had said something along the lines of "You would have thought the guy breaking in would see the big poster of Bruce Lee in the living room and ran back out not know what he was getting into" lol. However, the guy proceeded to rob him and got busted as he came home in the act of it. Needless to say he took him down till cops arrived.


   Someone else as we know has just accomplished similar. Daniel Bryan!!!! Apparently some neighbors had called 911 due to suspicious activity at his residence. As the 2 burglars were on their way out the door, Bryan and his wife Brianna were getting out of the car. The 2 would be burglars spotted them & dropped the loot and took off running. But as far as the former WWE champ was concerned, the battle royal had begun! He took off chasing the robbers for a 2 on 1 handicap match at which point he hoped the catch them to make sure they spent some hell in a cell. One of the guys got away but he did manage to subdue one and placed him in a rear naked choke till the police got to the scene. Here is a link below from a news report locally where Bryan spoke in a press conference.





             

   I can't imagine the looks on their faces probably knowing who he was and seeing him chasing them but it had to be awesome. Luckily, nobody was hurt and as it turned out the suspect caught had warrants out for him on previous felonies. So what do we in the wrestling universe think about this???  YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

   As always, like it, share it, leave comments and if you wanna join an awesome group that loves wrestling and talks wrestling non stop, join us at No Holds barred Facebook discussion group.

WWE Battleground



WWE Battleground


    I sometimes do not understand the WWE and their style of thinking. Is it truly HHH running the show and doing a Bischoff to the WWE or is Vince truly this dense???


   The Uso's vs Luke Harper & Eric Rowan was great. Fast paced and entertaining with the Uso's high flying and the brute force of Harper showing his agility with a suicide dive through the ropes. I had to watch that one in silence while working but was still entertaining. The Uso's came out on top but how much longer can they keep those two at bay? It won't be easy.


   The Divas match was great I thought, probably the best since Trish Stratus vs Lita. Not a lot I will say about this match as I am not a huge fan of the Diva's matches but I thought that maybe Paige would win back the title. That being said AJ Lee wit the win.


   I was really excited about the Real American Jack Swagger vs Rusev match. The WWE truly need to push this angle of Real Americans as faces as long as they can and like I said in blog last week make it a stable. Bring Kurt Angle back to help anchor it down. The match was great with Swagger starting out in control. The match goes back and forth for a while with the momentum going both directions. I can't help it, Rusev is big but I just dont find him impressive. He is stiff in the ring and just not fun to watch. I'm not sure whats worse...his in ring style or Lana on the mic. Match appeared to be going to a double count out with Swagger having Rusev in the Patriot Lock but Rusev managed to pull Swagger into the steel post and jump back in ring at last second. Winner Rusev by count out......pitiful.

   Biggest disappointment of the night.... HHH has Ambrose thrown out of building so his plans wouldnt be ruined. Thanks Hunter Hurst Bischoff for robbing the fans of the match of the night. Not even touching this one anymore it was ridiculous.


   Chris Jericho Vs. Bray Wyatt was everything I thought it would be. Harper & Rowan got ejected from ringside after interfering one time and both competitors gave it their all. Bray Wyatt has a very bright future in the company providing HHB doesnt mess him up as well. Jericho wins with the Codebreaker.


   Battle Royal for the IC Belt. I will have to admit I got fooled. The battle royal was pretty entertaining with the whole group jumping Khali right from the start and eliminating him. Kofi Kingston and Dolph Ziggler are like cats with 9 lives. They kept avoiding elimination. The final 2 competitors were Sheamus & Ziggler and I thought it was over when Ziggler eliminated Sheamus but I forgot that the miz had been knocked through the ropes earlier and just never came back in till the end lol. He eliminates Ziggler and becomes the new IC Champ. This should set up a great fued between the two.


   Now for the big dogs!!!! Fatal 4 way. It didnt take Kane long to turn on Orton and try to win the belt. How will HHB take this I wonder? I mean, Hunter Hurst Bischoff cant be that happy with the big red machine. Lot of sweet moves pulled off in this match with Roman Reigns having the highlight of the night in my opinion. Cena gives him the 5 knuckle Shuffle and lets him know he cant see him then BAM! Superman punch lol. Cena did not see that! And no fatal 4 way would be complete without the crazy ending that this was with Cena winning!


  No sign of Seth Rollins trying to steal a chance. All in all it was a pretty good ppv but I've seen better no doubt. Can we please get rid of the Authority?? I still feel robbed of the Ambrose vs Rollins match. Well that's my 2 cents on what happened tonight and as always please leave comments and tell me your thoughts on the ppv. What was your favorite match? Were you happy with the outcome? What do you look forward to after this now? Bring it back to me people, Like Big Poppa Pump says" Holler if you hear me!!!".

We The People



We   The   People


   This week I went to youtube for the first of hopefully many video blogs. I had to keep it short as I was time constrained but hope to do longer ones soon. This topic is going to touch on The Real Americans in the WWE so please play the video and afterwards I have some follow up material I want to add.




   Now, I truly believe these guys deserve a push. And yes, I was serious about a stable. Why not??? Sign Kurt Angle back and bring in 2 young guys like they did with The Shield and form a stable of The Real Americans. The thing is, they don't have to be fighting FOREIGN threats all the time. Remember, Zeb said he signed up to fight all threats foreign AND domestic. They could take a run at the authority as a domestic threat or turn Cena heel and let him go bad marine that hates his country now. Half the crowd boo's him nightly anyways. Everybody knows the WWE has a tendency to bury the talent in favor of a "name brand" wrestler that wants to come back again. But you can't hold them back forever & this just seems like the right time to make the move.


   I would practically beg the WWE to do this if I actually knew anyone in the business. That being said it reminds me of a funny thing someone used to tell me. Well funny to me anyways cause it was such a big lie but I wish it were true. They used to tell me that I was just friends with Dutch Mantell and that was why I was always putting him out there as a big talent. I talked a lot about a lot of people but I am not related to them or best friends with them. Bottom line: the man knows talent and back in t he day he was a pretty good booker as well.


  As always, I want to know what you think about the matter so please, leave comments on the board here on your thoughts on The Real Americans and how you think they should be used. If you didn't do so then please go back to video and subscribe to the youtube channel and follow us here at the following places:
