Shawn VS Bret WWE Documentary

Just finished watching this documentary about the famed rivalry between Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart. Unscripted and raw emotion from both of these guys. I recommend it for anyone that is a fan of wrestling or is interested in the facts about these two great hall of fame wrestlers.

Brock Lesnar returns to the WWE!?!?!?!

Before you go crapping your pants this is for the new WWE 12 video game. Brock Lesnar has apparently signed a licensing deal with the WWE which basically means WWE can make toys, sell Lesnar merchandise and use him in their video games. Brock was recently asked by IGN.com about ever returning to the WWE and this is what he had to say:

"It would have to be under the right circumstances. I don’t know if Mr. McMahon and I could come to the right circumstances. If it was good for me and good for him I think that we could do something. At the end of the day, my life, my character and my profession – I take them very seriously. At the end of the day, if it doesn’t help me or my family out, and it doesn’t make sense for me to do, then I don’t do it. Everything would have to fall in the right place, but would I consider it? Absolutely."

John Cena on the set of Fred 2!

I came across this video of WWE Superstar John Cena trying to talk like Fred Figglehorn. Fred is an internet star with millions of followers on Youtube. You can check out his Youtube channel here.  He is basically a teen nerd who slightly fast forwards his video to give him a high and screechy voice. Wait, is screechy even a word? He is very annoying but is surprisingly funny to watch. In Fred The Movie, John Cena plays Fred's father.  This video was taken on the set of Fred 2 which will be airing on Nickelodeon later this month!

Great CM Punk Interview!

Recently CM Punk was in Australia for the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards and did this interview. It is a cool insight into who he is, the wrestling business and where he is headed with his career. It is lengthy but very worth the time.

New Toy Purchase: John Cena TRU Exclusive!

I had the chance to add yet another John Cena figurine to my collection of wrestling memorabilia.  This is an exclusive "TRU" or Toys R Us toy that is sold only at their store.  It is very cool although he does not have his newest shirt but the red wrist and arm brands. He also comes with an exclusive Wrestlemania sign.  In other wrestling news I was at my local Hot Topic and sure enough they had one of the newest WWE Cm Punk t-shirts.  It was a great find and nice to be able to purchase this locally and not just online at the WWE Shop. You can check out an image of the shirt by clicking here!

WWE Survivor Series Promo!

Can you smellllllllllll lalalalalalalalala!!??!?!?! As the video states above, yes, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will be appearing at the WWE Survivor Series at Madison Square Garden in November. This looks to be the beginning of The Rock's return to WWE culminating at Wrestlemania 28 where he will face John Cena one on one.

Summerslam Upset! New Champ! Nash interferes!

Last week we learned that tonight on Raw Rey Mysterio will have a match against the current WWE Champion. And that champion is.....Alberto Del Rio. WTF?! Alberto Del Rio? As you can see from the montage of photos above Del Rio cashed in his "Money in the Bank" briefcase and took the title from CM Punk. Let's rewind a minute here. Triple H was the referee and it came down to a 3 count with Punk pinning John Cena winning the title but Cena's leg was on the rope and everyone knows that you can not be pinned with your leg on the rope. He was still counted out and the match was over. CM began to celebrate when out of nowhere Kevin Nash AKA Diesel appeared in the ring and obliterated Punk allowing Del Rio to come in and pin him winning the championship. I'm not sure what to think about this? I don't know why John Cena didn't put up more of a fight after losing instead of walking out. Why was the match not forced to move on? Where did Nash come from and who is he working for? Online rumors state that he is Del Rio's new body guard. Let's hope not. I am thinking he has some tie to Triple H and took care of Punk for all of the things he said about Triple H's wife Stephanie Mcmahon. It will be an interesting night for sure and make sure to tune in at 9:00pm on the USA Network!

First Goldberg. Now Stone Cold Steve Austin?

Now, let me say first and foremost. Unlike the comments from Bill Goldberg yesterday. Stone Cold Steve Austin did not say on Attack of the Show that he was returning to wrestling but if he did have "one last tango" he would like it to be with CM Punk. I think this match could be huge for Wrestlemania 28. You have the straight edge drug and alcohol free CM Punk against the beer drinking, pie eating and ass kicking Austin. I think Stone Cold has one more left in him and it would be great to see him back in the ring and not just as a special guest referee who does his special move to make everyone happy and that is it.  Also check out his new movie Tactical Force.  You can check out the trailer below.  Thanks to G4 for the clip.

The Miz Verses Keenan Cahill?

Yes, your probably wondering the same thing I just was. What the hell is WWE Superstar The Miz doing in a video with Youtube internet sensation Keenan Cahill? Well, it seems the past few weeks a battle has irrupted on Twitter between the two of who could be the best at lip syncing. Keenan has became very popular on Youtube from making home made videos of himself lip syncing to famous songs. He now has the attention of The Miz and it all came down to a test to see who could lip sync The Miz's entrance music the best.

Goldberg To Return To Wrestling This Year?

"Probably", says the big man.  The video below surfaced today of Goldberg saying that he would probably return to wrestling by the end of 2011.  The big question is he going to come back and wrestle with the WWE or TNA?  I seriously doubt he would come back and work in TNA.  He is one of the legends of wrestling and it would only seem fitting to see him return to the WWE and everyone's dream match would be Goldberg against Steve Austin and with Austin being a WWE guy then it makes more sense.  You can watch the video for yourself below.

Summerslam: Champion Versus Champion

It was announced this past Monday night that at Summerslam in one week the main event will be John Cena against C.M. Punk for the WWE Championship. Now we know that Punk won the title at the Money In The Bank pay per view and then quit the WWE. The next night John Cena pinned Rey Mysterio and became the current holding WWE Champion. Then we find out that Punk had been rehired and that left us with a problem: 2 WWE Champions. So it will be decided on August 14th who will be the best of the best. I personally hope that Punk will win it all. I love John Cena but frankly I am tired of him being the champion all the time. It's time to move in a different direction and let Cena out of the limelight. I think Cena needs to take some time off and re-invent himself. Leave for a while and come back with a new gimmick, a new and refreshing persona and kick ass like he always has. That is just my two cents on it.

Exclusive WWE 7-11 Slurpee Cups!!

After weeks of anticipation, they are (insert Rock voice here) "finally back at 7-11". You can pick up your exclusive WWE Summerslam Slurpee cups and Big Gulp cups at your local 7-11. I purchased all 4 Slurpee cups this evening and surprisingly there was no mention of Summerslam on the cups themselves. The cups are actually half real pictures of the superstar and then a mark up of the superstar from the WWE All-Stars video game. The Slurpee cups are still very cool because they look almost 3-D as you move them around. I am partial to the Roddy Piper Big Gulp cup and will be picking that one up soon! You can also purchase the special 7-11 straws that have mini figurines that hook to each straw but they want an extra $2.00. After it is all said and done your paying about $4.50 a cup. I decided I didn't need the straws that bad. Check them out at your local 7-11 today before they are all sold out!

WWE News: CM Punk Returns!

After an interesting week in the WWE our newest hero in the wrestling world has returned.  If you didn't catch WWE Raw last night then you missed out.  Rey Mysterio pinned The Miz for the 1,2,3 win and then was booked for the final match of the evening.  Another world championship match against none other than John Cena.  We saw John Cena pin Mysterio and take back the championship in a timely fashion and then this happened.



CM Punk made his return to the WWE and from the sound of the crowd they loved it.  Personally, I have a couple of problems with this.  One, let's go back to Cena beating Mysterio.  Their was a big uproar on the Smackdown brand about Christian winning the world heavyweight title and then losing it in a weeks time to Randy Orton.  Isn't this kind of the same thing?  I totally hail Rey Mysterio as one of the best wrestlers that WWE has and it seems like a farce to do that to him.  In reality could Mysterio even hold his own against Cena?  I am guessing not by sheer size alone but on the plus side I think that their match was a great match overall.  Secondly, I would like to have seen Punk wait it out longer and go rogue for a while.  Have him crash some independent promotions and flash the title around.  Make a mockery of it.  Do something out of the ordinary and less seen than the usual.  I loved how he was partying in the streets with the title earlier in the week.  It is his and he is gone.  But as you all know this isn't exactly real no matter how much we want to believe it is and he has returned and I am guessing this is going to be a title versus title match for the best of the best.  I would like to see WWE premiere a new belt at Summerslam.

The WWE is turned inside out! CM Punk rules!

It has been exactly one week this evening that the current situation of Vince Mcmahons World Wrestling Entertainment also know as WWE has been taken over and thrown on it's head by a man named CM Punk.  The title match was John Cena versus CM Punk for the WWE Championship.  If Cena wins then CM leaves the WWE because his contract was up that evening.  If CM wins then John Cena is fired and Punk leaves the WWE with the championship.  As of tonight, WWE has yet to post any video of the match on Youtube probably because people are still ordering replays on Pay Per View.

From the picture above you probably have figured out that CM Punk won the WWE Championship and high tailed it out of the building with it.  Earlier in the evening Alberto Del Rio won the Money In The Bank match and was called out to ringside by Vince Mcmahon to wrestle and beat Punk and keep the championship in the WWE.  It still wasn't enough as CM Punk knocked out Del Rio.  Punk crawled over the crowd barrier, looked to Mcmahon and then blew him a kiss and disappeared into the crowd of chanting fans.  It looked as if all was over and Cena would be fired the next evening. The video below recaps what happens on Monday Night Raw.



And there you have it! Cena keeps his job and Mcmahon is fired with HHH taking the reign of the WWE. Is this a work? Yes, we know that in reality Mcmahon is still running the company behind the scenes and this is a story line. The big question is what exactly is going on with CM Punk. Would the WWE allow Punk to win the coveted title and run around the world with it?

According to the famed site TMZ, yes they are. The photos above were taken sometime after the match in Chicago. As of last Monday CM Punk is still not part of WWE and a tournament was made for the next WWE Champion which ended up being Rey Mysterio against The Miz. They were to wrestle for the championship before being interrupted by Mcmahon in the previous video. It is still uncertain what WWE's plan is for Punk. This week was the famous San Diego Comic Con and WWE always has a presence with their line of Mattel WWE toys. During a press conference with HHH there was a special visitor.



So what is next for CM Punk and the WWE. This story line really couldn't be any better for all parties involved. WWE is generating buzz and CM Punk has rocketed even more in popularity. In my opinion he has become the voice of the WWE fans. He says what the people want to hear and does what the people want to see. Is this still scripted and is everyone following a generality here? Yes. I am sure they are but it is natural. It is charismatic and off the wall at the same time. It doesn't sound like a guy who memorized the script and fumbles through his words as he speaks. It sound like a guy who is passionate about what he is doing and is rocking the world that he lives in.  CM Punk is being praised around the world by fans and fellow wrestlers alike.  This is a good thing for wrestling fans that are looking for something fresh, new and exciting.  Long live CM Punk!

WWE: Money In The Bank Preview!

Hey wrestling fans!  I have been pretty crappy at keeping up on WWE news on the site but had to post this quick blip.  A quick blip is actually the complete opposite. Tonight John Cena will face CM Punk for the WWE Title.  CM Punk's contract also expires at midnight tonight and if he wins the title and leaves WWE he will take the title with him and John Cena will be fired from the WWE. This is being pegged as one of the biggest angles in recent WWE history.



Also on the card is the famed Money In The Bank matches. Each brand will have their own Money In The Bank match to determine who will be in line for a future shot at the title. These matches are generally pretty good matches that involve the briefcase hanging over the ring with the wrestlers climbing metal ladders to capture the prize. It's anyone's guess as to what is going to happen and can often times be brutal on the performers.



My guess is that CM Punk will win the title and John Cena will be fired but Punk will not leave the WWE with the title because I think that whoever wins the Money In The Bank match will use it tonight and steal the title from Punk leaving him the big loser and John Cena to be reinstated tomorrow evening at RAW.

My Father's Day Artwork Present!

To your left you are looking at my 17 year old daughter, Krystal, who is an aspiring artist and drew me a picture of my favorite WWE Superstar John Cena.  I had an amazing Father's Day and you can check out some more photos of her drawing below and you can also check out her website for more of her artwork here.

WWE Tough Enough 2011

This week marks the end of the latest season of the reality television series called WWE Tough Enough.  The 2 month long show introduced us to 14 contestants that had the dream of becoming the next big WWE Superstar.  Contestants ranged from amateur independent wrestlers to men and women who had never wrestled ever to the current Miss USA.  The winner receives a WWE contract to be a future WWE Superstar.  The show is hosted by Stone Cold Steve Austin along with trainers Bill Demott, Booker T and Trish Stratus.

I really enjoyed watching this show because it really showed you how hard it is to train and compete in the WWE.  Is WWE scripted and the outcome known before the match?  Yes.  We all know that but I think a lot of people tend to push WWE Wrestlers aside as athletes.  Think again because they are amazing athletes and being a WWE Wrestler can be very dangerous at times. Through out the series we saw several contestants have to drop out of competition because of injury.  As big as the physical side of the sport is the character and charisma side is just as important.  I think that is where you see guys who "look" the part but just can't fill it charismatically.

As the series came to a head it was a tie between contestants Andy and Luke.  You could not have 2 completely opposite people go head to head.  Andy is a big man with a wife and a child who's dream is to be a WWE Superstar.  He is strait edge and bad to the bone.  He calls himself "Silent Thunder".  Then you have "Cool Hand" Luke who is a party boy and wants to live a life of drinking, women and being the top dog.  Luke had previously wrestled before the show and looked to be a winner from the first episode until the last.  It was Andy that hadn't had as much experience but had the drive, heart and determination to be the next big thing.  Everything boiled down to this past week's WWE Monday Night Raw.  You can see for yourself below who wins......

R.I.P. Macho Man Randy Savage

What a blow.  What a shocker.  This afternoon at work via a text message from my brother I see "Macho Man died".  What the hell?!  Text that again?!  When I got home and read the terrible news for myself I still couldn't believe it.  Randy "The Macho Man" Savage is dead.  Early reports are still sketchy but apparently he had a heart attack while driving his vehicle and crashed into a tree.  His wife was in the vehicle and sustained minor injuries.  My earliest memories was in the late 1980's and early 1990's of Macho Man especially when he co-hosted WWE Monday Night Raw. By that point in his career he was most likely semi-retired and enjoyed commentating with Jerry Lawler and Vince Mcmahon.  I'm sure now that he is a likely candidate into the WWE Hall of Fame.  It's a shame that it took this to move things forward.  It will interesting to see what WWE says on Raw this Monday.  I will be there in person and will report back to you.  Rest in peace Macho.  You are greatly loved and will be missed forever.  Ohhhhhh yeeaaahhhh!  Snap into it!

Raw Recap 4.18.11

Last night we saw our weekly edition of WWE's Monday Night Raw television show on the USA Network.  After spending months building up to Wrestlemania I can imagine it is tough to keep the programming up to par as it was a couple of weeks ago. Wrestlemania came and went on like it always does and now we are back to the weekly grind so to speak.  Rumor is that The Rock is going to be on Raw in a couple of weeks.  If truth be told he will do a lot of talking and nothing else. Why spoil things when he has a big match against John Cena in another year?  The past 2 weeks the WWE has been touring Europe and pre-taped Raw in London.  Because of the time change this show was not obviously live like most weeks.  That in itself for me is already a downer.  One really cool thing though is Jim Ross is back as one of the voices of WWE.  I always enjoy listening to Mr. Ross and wish he would be back full time as a commentator.  The show was overall semi-par.  R-Truth changed characters from the good guy to the bad guy.  John Cena and Sin Cara tag teamed against The Miz and Alex Riley while the main event for last night's show was Randy Orton VS. CM Punk and most likely The Nexus.  The video has been embedded below.



Just like everyone thought.  CM Punk couldn't fight on his own and The Nexus came out to his rescue.  What is up with Mason Ryan?  That guy looks just like Batista!  All things aside I like CM Punk and he is a pretty believable bad guy.  It was a classic ending with the RKO on Punk to end the show.  Why do i get the feeling that The Nexus is going to interfere with the main event of Cena VS Miz VS Morrison at Extreme Rules at the end of the month?



I continue to be impressed by Sin Cara. Does he remind me a lot of Rey Mysterio? Yes, but in a lot of ways better! His technique is amazing. Technique is something the contestants of WWE Tough Enough has been learning this week. You can call WWE what you want. You can say it is fake and predetermined but the men and women that do this job put their bodies on the line every day and if it wasn't for technique it would look like crap. John Cena is the man! I love John Cena. He is my favorite wrestler and I never get tired of watching him. That being said. John's technique is great but he could have a better arsenal of moves.

Interestingly enough the show opened last night with WWE Superstar R-Truth talking to the crowd about how happy he was that he was going to be in the main event, a triple threat match, at Extreme Rules. John Morrison came out and challenged Truth to a match. Morrison brought up that Truth drank water in between matches and that outside of the ring he smokes cigarettes. Truth took Morrison's challenge and lost the match. Now John Morrison will bat the main event and Truth is back to being a mid card star. After losing, Truth went on a rampage and demolished Morrison. He took a pack of cigarettes from a fan and began to smoke in front of the crowd.



It must have made some waves across the ocean back to the USA because a group of people were outraged at the storyline. Here is an excerpt from the website TMZ:

The drama began when Ron "R-Truth" Killings hit up the audience for a smoke ... and actually LIT UP right in front of them ... including several children. But the on-screen cig-fest didn't sit so well with anti-smoking activist Patrick Reynolds (pictured right) -- Executive Director of TobaccoFree.org -- who has officially issued a challenge to the wrestler ... to publicly apologize for the smoking stunt.


Reynolds -- ironically the grandson of tobacco magnate R.J. Reynolds -- tells TMZ, "For him to smoke in front of [children] is irresponsible. At best, it's thoughtless, and at worst, if he calculated appealing to kids by posing as a bad-boy outlaw, it's evil." Reynolds adds, "If he wants help in quitting, I'll be happy to be his personal coach."


The WWE issued a statement to TMZ defending the cigarette incident -- saying, "The negative effect smoking has on one’s health and physical performance was a part of a storyline on last night’s Monday Night Raw. Negative depictions of tobacco use on television are not unusual and can be seen on other TV-PG shows."

No video was uploaded to the official WWE Youtube Page.  Further updates as I get them!
