First let's go to the start of the show which was the tag team title match. What a classic this match was. It's awesome to see WWE put some interest back in the tag teams again. The Usos and the Wyatts started the show with a bang. Rikishi has to be proud of his boys. They were taught well.
Now to a match that I think got under appreciated by the fans. The Divas Championship match. I know this is coming from a guy that has been very critical of the divas division in the past, but I gotta say, Naomi and Paige put on a solid match at Money in the Bank. Cameron playing the part on the outside of the ring is obviously building to a turn. My only issue is that Cameron or Ariane Andrew is kafabing on her instagram account which is not even a gimmick account. It makes no sense, and it tells me she knows nothing about the wrestling business. If you're going to kayfabe at least do it under a gimmick account. Not to mention that the business is so wide open now anyway. So trying to kayfabe in 2014 is not going to be easy to begin with. But again as far as the match itself? Solid match.
Adam Rose vs Paul Revere aka Damien Sandow. This was obviously a filler. I got to give respect to Sandow. Get your money Sandow. This poor guy has been doing some ridiculous things for months now, and yet he still shows up to work everyday. If I can be honest I like the Adam Rose gimmick. He's over with the crowd. Yes he has some growing to do but who doesn't? But I like the road he's taking. Personally. This match was ehh.
Now the Money In The Bank contract match. I have to be honest I really didn't pay attention to this one but from what I did see, it was another classic ladder match in the WWE. The rivalry between Ambrose and Rollins is only just beginning and I think this is going to be the WM main event for years to come. Let me talk about Ambrose for a sec. Ambrose is like a mix of Roddy Piper and the late great Brian Pillman. His promo skills are refreshing. This guy is money in my opinion. Seth Rollins formerly known as Tyler Black has always had "it." I've been a fan of his since his days in Ring of Honor. Seth Rollins in the ring reminds me of CM Punk. His promo skills need work, but again, that will come with time. Rollins wins the MITB.
The Rhodes brothers vs Rybaxel. I don't know how to feel about this Stardust gimmick yet. I can't really say I like or dislike it. But the Rhodes brothers obviously have chemistry. The Rybaxel team's a total waste in my opinion. So was this match, although I did like the spot when Ryback was getting crowd to chant feed me more and Ryback looks at the crowd and sayid, "I still got it."
Big E vs Russev. It happened. what else can I say? I think this whole Russev storyline needs a hero and Big E is not it. Especially with this baptist preacher type promos they got the guy doing now. He's not over at all. Russev is a massive heel and for anyone not to come out as a better face after being in a match with him is pathetic. Lana is great at what she does. Even though she's from Florida she's doing the Russian gimmick. Nobody has pointed that out yet. But nevertheless.
I will discuss the backstage segment with the Bellas and Stephanie McMahon. Talk about a build up! When Stephanie and Brie finally clash, it will good in my opinion. Not just because Stephanie and Brie are attractive....
Layla vs Summer Rae....
Now we get to the WWE World Championship ladder match. Why they haven't combined the belts yet, and yes I said belts, is beyond me. But this match was a good one. Roman Reigns became a bigger star because of this match. Kane playing the role of lapdog is an embarrassment of sorts, but get your money Kane. The home crowd advantage wasn't really an advantage for Cena. Not breaking news but I think it's worth pointing out. Also we got some color from Randy Orton. Blood if you will. That's a win, right? Cena ends up winning the match, and the internet wrestling community loses it's mind. Cena winning again is not the end of the world ladies and gents. Cena believe it or not is actually good at what he does. Yes I wish he cut more serious promos, but he has to give this boss who's stuck in the 80s what he wants. Cena gets a reaction and that's basically all you can ask from a performer on the main roster of the WWE.
All in all it wasn't a perfect show but it wasn't the worst show either. It was much better than last year's which isn't really saying much, but still.

YES MOVEMENT IS REAL, children...IT'S REAL!
I'm sure if you reading this you caught Monday night Raw (3/11/2014). What a raw it was...considering what I actually watched was probably an hour worth at best. If you don't know I only tune in to Raw to to what I'm interested in. Meaning I keep my phone on Twitter and if something or someone I like is on Raw, Then I tune in. For example if I'm reading my timeline and I see Seth Rollins is fixing to wrestle, I tune in. If I look I'm my time line seeing it's a divas match, I'm watching something else which is currently The Voice.
But moving on. Let's go ahead and get to the point. Did y'all see that Yes Movement segment when Daniel Bryan brought an army of fans to the ring and around the ring wearing Daniel Byran T-Shirts? To me that was the Raw segment of the year. Granted it wouldn't been better if the fans had their Red Bull, but besides that it was a brilliant segment. One that hasn't been done before, not that I remember anyway, and one that was a long time coming. Since after Wrestlemania 28. The Yes movement if you recall really took to drive that Monday Night Raw after wrestlemania 28 where the Miami crowd hijacked the show. If you want to talk about Hijack, Chicago, rewatch that raw from Miami after Wrestlemania 28 on the WWE network, if it's up. That's how you hijack a show. For now on if anybody wants to "hijack raw" watch that Miami crowd for direction or go to a Raw taping in Brooklyn because the BK crowd is always hype.
Back to the segment, at one point Daniel Byran threatened to take the fans to the parking lot and have the rest of the show be run in an empty arena. Now THAT would have been a moment. Let me mention Stephanie McMahon who gave the best performance I've ever seen her give on a mike. She's learned a lot being married to HHH and of course literally growing up in the business of Pro Wrestling. I liked it. Triple H has always been good on the stick if you will, not a master, but good none the less.
I'm going off track, the segment itself. Again I say, segment of the year. I go as far as to say, Epic. Now we know that "Epic" has become an overrated term in 2014, but I'm still using it because I'm a rebel. So it's gonna be Daniel Bryan vs Triple H and if Daniel Byran wins that he's going to be put in the Main Event match of the card. It's about time, WWE. Now we as the IWC, look at it as a win for us. But as Matt Hardy pointed out last night on Twitter:
"Fans should be happy, they were heard. Here's the deal-#WWE morphed the fan's frustrations into THEIR favor, THEIR story, thus owning it."
I called him a party pooper because I was still hyped off the segment but now that I'm calm, Matt Hardy, or as he's known by some marks, Fatt Hardy...I say if Matt Hardy is considered Fat, I'm considered "Death Bed"...anyway, WWE took what the fans wanted and made it like they had it planned the whole time. I also liked what Chris Jericho tweeted out:
Congrats to@wwe for finally embracing what has been in front of their faces the whole time…
@WWEDanielBryan #nextworldchampion.
Someone in the back, we like to think Triple H, was holding this back for the longest. To the point where the fans where almost getting tired of it. Daniel Byran is small in stature. He has the beard and long hair gimmick going on. He's not the proto type WWE Superstar, but the man is as over as Stone Cold was in the Attitude Era. So WWE would have been stupid not to jump on this.
Now other quick topics...I for one am living Bray Wyatt mike work. Impact Wrestling is back in the US, and drew an arena barley 1/4 full for a PPV. I'll let that sink in.

HIJack Raw...failed!
To be a good blogger like I claim to be, I couldn't leave this one alone. Let's talk about this hijack that was supposedly gonna take place 3/3/2014 at the Allstate Center in Chicago. The fans were electrified! CM PUNK!! CM PUNK!!! WWE countered the chants with an up and down show. First a genius move that I think Paul Heyman came up with because it was too smart for the stooges at the creative to come up with. CM Punk music plays, the fans in the crowd and the IWC were going nuts. CM Punk is back!! YES!! YES!! YES!! Paul Heyman comes out to music and sits indian style in the ring like who else CM Punk. And proceeds to give a clinic in cutting promos as only Paul E can do. It worked. But at this point I was still believing that Punk was going to come out. Paul brings out Brock Lesnar and hands Brock the mike. Uh oh. This was going to be bad. Brock was never the best talker in the world, but with his work rate, we let that slide as fans. Brock cuts a decent promo for Brock's standards. Then I changed the channel. For what I hear, Henry came out and Brock put Henry through the announce table. Why I did I change the channel? Because I only tune in to what I care about. I keep my phone on Twitter and with something happens that I may be interested in, I tune in.
Any so that happened. No CM Punk but brilliant segment none the less. So then it was the Old Age Outlaws vs the USOs for the Tag Titles. I didn't watch this match but according to the tweets, USOs won the titles!! Good for them. It's long over due in my book, but good for them. And the crowd loved it. Still no CM Punk.
Casaro vs Big E...bleh...didn't watch. didn't care. I hear good things about Casaro though.
Now this match is what I ran upstairs to my room to watch. The Sheild vs The Wyatts. What a roller coaster of a match this was. Back and forth. Just non stop action and brilliant story telling. The crowd was hot as well. I'm loving the story with Seth Rollins having issues with the Shield. Seth formerly known as Tyler Black is a brilliant worker or performer. I think he'll be in the Wrestlemania main event within the next 5 years. He's that good. Wyatts win the match, but I think everybody won when it came to that match. Great 5 star stuff. I think X Pac said that that was Wrestlemania stuff. I couldn't agree more. Yet still no CM Punk. IWC still believing he's coming.
Fandango and Summer Raw vs Santino and Emma. I like Summer Rae. She is a 10 in my book when it comes to looks. But I didn't care for this match. I think Fandango is another brilliant performer. But I hate the gimmick. Santino is just a waste of time to me. If he gets fired right now, who would care other than him? I rest my case. And Emma? No idea who that is. Still no CM Punk, and one would have assumed that the Hijacking would have took pace during this match. Nope.
Sheamus vs Christian. Another hijack worthy match if you will. Nothing. Not a big fan of Sheamus and Christian has been so under used it's embarrassing. Christian should've stayed in TNA hindsight being what it is. He was the world champion in that company. Comes back to WWECW and bleh. Only reason he still has a job is because of Edge. But back to the match. Didn't watch didn't care. No Hijacking. No Punk.
The Bella Twins vs Alicia Fox and Askana.
Then Daniel Byran comes out. To a massive reaction. The Yes Movement is real children it is real. And if you ain't in it, you will get ran over. And the Authority comes out to answer Daniel Byran's challenge to Triple H at Wrestlmania XXX. The heat that Stephanie and HHH got with this Chicago audience was Attitude Era like. It was epic heat. The kind of heat Vickie Guerrero gets. That kind of heat. All and all HHH turned down the challenge because Daniel Bryan is a "B+ player." Triple H and that shovel, boy. It's a God dang shame! So they order Daniel to leave, he refuses, and they call for corporate Kane to take care of Bryan. Bryan dives on to Kane then security comes out and escorts Daniel out. Heated segment. CM Punk chants all on it. But yet and still No CM Punk. At this point, I think it hit me that CM Punk wasn't there.
Then Alberto vs Dolph Ziggler. Nice little match. Ziggler won with help from the guest host, Aaron Paul. Forgive me, I have no idea who he is. Yet and still Ziggler is over, children. Ziggler push chould be coming up soon. Again. Hopefully WWE doesn't screw this up. Again. Still no Punk.
Next we find out that Paul Bearer is going to the Hall of Fame. Congrats to Paul. A shame that he's not alive to appreciate it. When is Macho Man getting in? Seriously. If Warrior can finally make it in--come on now.
Then it's Jack "Weed The People" Swagger vs Big E.
So then John Cena comes out to address the audience. John is a genius on the mike. Whether you love John or you hate him. Regardless of his work rate, John is brilliant. John gets a reaction. He responds to it, and he works with it. What more do you want from him. He takes us back through his history of his time in Chicago. Didn't mention CM Punk but at the same time he did. We all knew who he was talking about. Then the Wyatts popped up on the screen. Blah blah blah blah. Still no Punk. Moving on.
Now let's go to the main event. Bootista vs Daniel Byran. Randy Orton was at ringside watching the match. Daniel Byran was looking like he was about to hit a big move on Bootista, and then the corperation, i mean the Authority comes out. Batista throws Bryan into Orton. Orton retaliates on Byran. The Authority beats up Bryan. And that's how the show ends. No riot. No Hijack. No CM Punk. Hijack Raw...failed. But other than the obvious this show wasn't that bad of a show. WWE provided a good show. and had the people in the palm of their hands. So like it or not children, WWE won. The Machine won.
One last thing. Can we please cut out the Daniel Byran goat nonsense. I'm sick and tired of hearing flying goat this and toad that. Give the man some respect. He's the face of the WWE. He doesn't need a title to prove that. His Yes chants are literally everywhere. Give the man the title and let's go. WWE is pushing it but not giving Byran a title match at Wrestlemania. If Byran doesn't get the title soon, Bryan could end up taking a "sabbatical" like CM Punk.

Give Daniel Byran his Title and His Money
First let me say that I hope everyone had a great Christmas and I hope your 2014 is going great so far! Also let me say that I enjoyed Old School Raw this past Monday (1/6/2013), especially seeing Jake The Snake Roberts coming out to the ring looking healthy and better than ever. The Pipers Pit and he gave his ode to Punk I thought was epic. And even I have to say that the Bellas have really improved in the ring. And I have been on the record saying that the Bellas suck in the ring, never mind what they do outside the ring, but never the less...
Now, Daniel Byran. They guy that has been the most over guy in the company of the World Wrestling Entertainment. No matter what the machine thinks when they shove John Cena down our throats. I respect John Cena, but he's not the most over guy anymore. In my opinion, Daniel Byran is quickly becoming the face of the WWE. His yes chants are becoming legend. Of course with the crowd reactions he got in every arena, but even outside of wrestling the Yes chants are becoming a part of the culture. Kinda like DX back in the 90s with the crotch chop and the infamous two words.
I saw this video of the Michigan State Spartans doing the Yes chant at the game and the whole arena joined in. To me that was an epic moment in wrestling. It puts wrestling back on the map. Which is a good thing. So with that being said, WWE, what's the problem? End this crap with Bryan and the Wyatts, and put the strap on the guy. No he's not really a heavyweight, but he is the man right now. Give the man a strap and a good run and see where it goes. Yes he's a small guy but I know of another small guy that got a huge push and run...named Shawn Michaels who trained and brought Daniel Byran or Byran Danielson into the business. I can't be the only one seeing this. Daniel Bryan is money right now, so why not bank on it?
That's it for this one. Not that long, this blog but I got my point across. It's Daniel Byran's time now. LETS GO!!

WAS SANDOW EVEN A WORTHY MITB WINNER?
I admit I have not been watching wrestling like I usually would be. I use the picture in picture function on the TV and I read up on dirt sheets to stay connected. But I did catch the Damien Sandow cashing in the Money In The Bank on John "Hogan" Cena. Sandow lost and the IWC, Internet Wrestling Community, went into a riot of LA poportions. I mean it was like Cena was the cops that got off beating up Rodney King. I feel like I was the only one sitting back like, "What's the big deal?"
Did you watch the match? It was an instant DVD match in my opinion. The crowd was behind it. It's rare when you hear a "This is awesome" chant during a Monday Night Raw match. Yes Cena was "Super Cena" and no Sandow didn't win the championship like JBL predicted he would. My question for all the IWC is did Sandow deserve to win the MITB in the first place? I remember being at my cousin Travis house in KY watching the MITB PPV, which was overall bland by the way, and I was not happy with Damien Sandow winning the MITB for the WHC. Lets go back to see who was in that match. Of course you had Sandow, Cody Rhodes, Fandango, Swagger, Antonio Cesaro, Wade Barrett, and Dean Ambrose. Sandow deserved out of all them? Oh shut up.
I think Sandow came out on a very good end even after this lost. Sandow had Cena beat all through the match, Sandow can easily build up from that. Now if Triple H is going to do what he's known to do according to his repuation, then Sandow is in trouble. But I seriously doubt this is the end for Sandow. His ring work is already there. His character needs some tweaking and that's about it. Now of course this is all my opinion.

Daniel Byran is on the road to one of the biggest pushes in the modern era
I said last post that wrestling is becoming fun again. Did a little thinking on this. Me being a mark most of my life seeing how business is done and also being a movie buff. I think Daniel Byran is on route to become one of the biggest stars in the modern era of sports entertainment. Week after week Daniel is getting power bombed by the shield and or RKOed by Randy Orton. It's only a matter of time where the hero fights back, and when Daniel Bryan finally gets that hero's comeback the place is going to go insane.
Triple H is a tremendous heel. He's playing this part well. The mark that's still in me is hating him for how he's "running things," and that lets me know that what he's doing is working. Ok, yes this storyline is a rehash of old storylines but bottom line is that it's working. People are buying into it. It's almost becoming cool to be a wrestling fan again. IF Triple H was really the bad guy the IWC says he his, Daniel Bryan wouldn't have his spot he does now.
Even the Divas division is stepping up a little bit, but with that being said I got my doubts. As of this blog posting, it's booked that at Night Of Champions, it will be a fatal four way for the divas championship featuring Natalya, Brie Bella (smh), Naomi, and AJ. If Natayla or AJ does not win, someone should riot. Naomi has a lot of potential, but she's not ready yet. Her in ring skills are dynamite, but her promo skills are just bad. Brie Bella is all around awful. AWFUL. Natayla and AJ are the only wrestlers in that match. Therefore, one of those two should win the belt. I would have AJ keep the strap. I know they're trying to build the popular Total Divas show but screw that. AJ got the promo of her career a short time ago and I feel deserves to have the strap. Plus AJ could be the first Mrs. Richerson. Hey you know what they say, once you got fat, Michelle Obama hates you.
Now let me go in on the Big Show story going on. That segment with him and Stephanie McMahon was so uncomfortable to watch. Big Show looked so beaten down and worthless and Stephanie looked like the little sister who made it and is now holding over the Big Show's head. I don't have a clue as to where that storyline is going but it's interesting. When Daniel Byran finally gets his comeback, I do think Big Show and Dolph Ziggler will be a part of it. Somehow I think Vince will be part of it too. I've read rumors that this is all building up to a Wrestlemania match with Vince's guy is going up against Triple H's guy. Notice Vince hasn't been on TV much since the "new corporation" if you will started up? Something is brewing. And it's going to be sweet.

Triple H is a tremendous heel. He's playing this part well. The mark that's still in me is hating him for how he's "running things," and that lets me know that what he's doing is working. Ok, yes this storyline is a rehash of old storylines but bottom line is that it's working. People are buying into it. It's almost becoming cool to be a wrestling fan again. IF Triple H was really the bad guy the IWC says he his, Daniel Bryan wouldn't have his spot he does now.
Even the Divas division is stepping up a little bit, but with that being said I got my doubts. As of this blog posting, it's booked that at Night Of Champions, it will be a fatal four way for the divas championship featuring Natalya, Brie Bella (smh), Naomi, and AJ. If Natayla or AJ does not win, someone should riot. Naomi has a lot of potential, but she's not ready yet. Her in ring skills are dynamite, but her promo skills are just bad.

WRESTLING IS BACK!
Wrestling hasn't been this fun since the attitude era. I was one of the cats that said TNA needs to step it up because that will make wrestling fun again. I've never been more happy to be wrong. The whole Daniel Bryan storyline is an awesome storyline. Daniel Bryan is on the push to become on an Austin level of professional wrestling. Say what you want about Vince McMahon and Triple H, but I'm begging you to look at the current product and find a long run negative about the storyline with Daniel Bryan and the McMahons. This has the potential to be as big or even possibly bigger than the Austin era. That's pretty strong to say, but I'm saying anyway.
How bout that epic CM Punk promo from last night's raw (8/19/2013)? Going after this innocent fat guy in the crowd for booing him was just old school classic wrestling. I loved it. It was attitude era of the WWE/original ECW. Paul Heyman is as good as he ever was. His balding head and that ponytail is a different story all together, but his genius of pro wrestling and his work on the mic is masterful. I love it.
Let me get this out the way. Darren Young. I used to be that guy that would blast this guy for coming out. But I've grown to learn that what you do in your own privacy is none of my business. Darren Young being gay has nothing to do with his performance in the ring. What I think of the gay lifestyle is not important. I hope this is not a "work" but let's look at it this way. The gay/lesbian thing is a big thing right now. So Darren coming out was good for business as far as getting viewers. I've heard rumors that Darren coming out was a "work," and why would one play with this sensitive issue, I don't know. I don't think it's a work. Again what you do in your own bedroom is none of my business.
WWE is doing great business right now. TNA is--WWE is doing great business right now. I'm of the mindset that, again I hope I'm wrong about this, but I think TNA is at the point of no return. I just think there's no chance for them. It's too late. I mean, I want TNA to work, but I just think it's too late. A lot of people may disagree with me, but remember this is my blog. It's my opinion. I don't get many benefits as a mulatto because society sees me as black. Freedom of speech though...just saying.
I titled this Wrestling is back, because this is the most fun this has been since the attitude era. So as far as WWE goes, wrestling is back and fun again. I hope we all enjoy this ride and I hope it continues past the success of WWF attitude.
Thanks for stopping by,
