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.
