I'M BACK WRESTLING FANS. WRESTLEMANIA BUILD UP! GOOD OR BAD?

WWE got us all talking about them again. Once again CM Punk made WWE interesting again like he did 2 years ago with the infamous promo in Las Vegas. All you marks complaining about are the same ones that are going to be buying the show cheering for Taker to beat CM Punk. I admit if I had the money I’d buy Wrestlemania. I think it’s going to be a good show. CM Punk and Paul Heyman just created a storm for WWE and that’s exactly what’s is needed for Wrestmania. People are complaining about the build up, I disagree. The CM Punk/Taker stuff has been classic in my opinion. I personally believe that CM Punk is the next Mr. Wrestlemania. Bold statement I know but I said it anyway.

At first I was against the Cena vs Rock II this year but I’m actually excited for the potential for this match. Let me explain. I’ve read the dirt sheets that Cena may be turning heel. We as the IWC has been begging for this for years. I say this should have happened about 7 years ago when the fans started booing Cena, but the potential of Cena pulling a Stone Cold from Wrestlemania 17 and going heel to get the win, excites me. So Monday, Cena can come out on Monday Night Raw and vent. Cena going heel is a brilliant move. I hear you folks saying that Cena is a great merchandise seller and all that. Let’s take a flash back to July of 1996. When Hogan finally turned heel. How good was the merchandise sell of the nWo shirts? I rest my case.

Alberto vs Swagger. It has potential but the build up for that match has been horrible in my opinion. I’m a fan of Swagger’s work ethic. I like the fact that Zeb is out being the mouth of Swagger, but the build up could be so much better. By the way, does the World Title mean anything anymore? I mean why is it still around? Seriously. Smackdown and Raw are not separated anymore. So what’s the use? Combine the titles again.  Bring back the Undisputed title until or if they decided to split the shows again. Am I right or wrong?

And how impressive is Naomi? I’ve been very vocal of my criticism on the woman’s wrestling of the WWE. But athletes like Naomi gives it promise. The Bellas being former champs, which is a joke, got out worked by both Naomi and Cameron on the recent Raw. AJ Lee should get getting a shot at the Divas title, also. No stupid Lumberjill match. Just give AJ and Kaitlyn time to show off their skills or lack thereof in front of a crowd for the title.

The tag team title match is not a plus for me. Big E has been nothing but a waste of TV. Big E is just pushing Vince McMahon’s love for steroid freaks of nature. Ziggler needs to focus on cashing in the money in the bank rather than going for titles that mean nothing anymore . The tag team titles have come to mean nothing in the WWE’s world of wrestling. Which is a shame. I can remember The Hardy Boyz, The Dudleys, E&C, Too Cool, New Age Outlaws…teams who made the tag team titles mean something. What happened to that? I admit it showed a little life when Kendrick and London got the titles but after that it just died. Again it’s sad. I’m a Daniel Bryan fan or mark if you will. The way Daniel Bryan has turned into a joke is sad. Daniel Bryan is a modern day, dare I say it? Yes I dare. Chris Benoit. (gasp) Yes I mentioned Benoit. Benoit was always known as a wrestling machine, and that’s what I see in Daniel Bryan.

The Intercontinental Title being pushed to pre show shows how important that title has become. Un—

I know it’s been quite some time since I posted my thoughts on professional wrestling but I hope this makes up for it. Thanks for sticking around I’m about to make some Ramen noodles. I’m a fat man, folks. I’m hungry.

My thoughts on the Pinup Strong movement

I was reading this article on WWE.com, some time ago, where they had a list of potential past and current divas who would or could join up with Beth and Natalya in there run to change the divas division. The last one on the list was Eve Torres. Really? Eve Torres for change in the divas division? When she fits the mold of a WWE Diva? Eve came in as a former dancer, and her start in the business was the WWE divas search. WWE is supposed to be the big time in the wrestling business. Eve came in the big time with no, again I say no, ring experience, and yet she became champion over divas that actually came in with experience like Gail Kim, Beth Phoenix, Natalya, etc. Yet you add Eve to a list to join a force that wants to change the divas division? I’m confused. Beth and Natalya actually came in to the big time with ring experience. Yet they can’t get a legitimate run as a champ? Or at least they couldn’t for a while. So for what I understand, the way to make it as a diva in the WWE is to come in with no experience, embarrass yourself and women wrestlers everywhere on national TV every week, and within a month you’ll have title shot.

Now I, along with a lot of others, am not a fan of John Cena’s in ring work. Yet can I really say that Cena didn’t do enough to get where he is? He was discovered working at an independent wrestling show in California by Jim Ross. Jim Ross got him to OVW which at the time was a development territory for the WWE. So, even though Cena’s offensive maneuvers are limited, the dude came in the right way.

With most everything, there are some exceptions. Trish Stratus came in with no experience. Yet she became a very good worker in the ring. Stephanie McMahon. Y’all may think I’m crazy, but y’all got to admit, she wasn’t that bad in the ring. These divas now though? The Bella Twins, Eve, Kelly Kelly...yes I give you, they look good, but their work in ring is not up to par.

Now who I think could add to the movement for change? Again, y’all may think I’m crazy, but Alicia Foxx would be a great addition. She got the skills to be good, she just needs them tuned. What better tuners can you get than Beth Phoenix and Natalya? That new diva AJ would also be a good addition for change. She actually came in with ring experience, and she can work. Why not?

Reading the dirt sheets recently I hear that WWE is gonna have Kaitlyn turn heel on AJ and join Beth Phoenix and Natayla. What kind of sense does that make? Here I was thinking this was about skill. No it seems like this is about being too thick to be a victoria secret model. Give me a break.
