I think I’m done with WWE for a while…

I think I officially gave up on WWE. Not for good. For a while at least. For the past three or four weeks, I start to watch RAW and then I switch the channel to Monday Night Football on ESPN instead. RAW got interesting for a little bit with the controversial CM Punk storyline, but it went downhill. I don’t like the new storyline going on right now where WWE superstars protest to make RAW a better show which is inspired from the Occupy Wall Street protests. WWE has been bringing a lot of kafayabe and trying to make the product seem real. Plus, this PG rating has gone too far for me. I used to have no problem with the PG rating, but it’s starting to get to me now.

I miss the old days of WWE, the Attitude Era. Those days were amazing. I miss the hardcore violence, blood, sexy women, etc. We don’t get that anymore in WWE. TNA “Impact Wrestling”, has all that now.

So I stick with watching TNA “Impact Wrestling”, every Thursday instead of WWE lately. I’m actually enjoying this Hulk Hogan vs. Sting feud. Sting as the Joker gimmick is pretty entertaining stuff. Sting is currently playing this new gimmick similar to the Heath Ledger Joker from “The Dark Knight” movie. Sting portrays the Heath Ledger, Joker pretty well. It’s pretty much dead on. I hope Sting keeps the Joker gimmick for a while.

I like TNA because that company brings back memories to the old WCW days. I like some of their wrestlers too like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Ken Anderson, and Bully Ray. Plus, TNA has better divas than the WWE, in my opinion. I like Velvet Sky, Mickie James and Miss Techsmacher.

Even though I’m starting to lose interest in WWE, I’ll always respect the performers. WWE is becoming too family friendly for my tastes, and that’s what I don’t like about it.

I like wrestling that is aimed at the adult audience where the true wrestling at, that’s why I’m starting to watch TNA more. TNA writes better storylines and has better wrestling too.

Thought: Why this is a perfect time to turn John Cena heel…

Everyone wants John Cena to turn heel but WWE doesn’t want him the wrestler bad guy. Why? Because WWE is afraid they may lose ratings and they don’t want to lose the children who are fans of the wrestler. Plus, WWE is afraid they will lose merchandise sales if they turn him heel.

Honestly, I don’t think WWE should worry about that stuff, because turning Cena heel is exactly what the WWE needs right now. The fans hate him enough. He gets booed heavily at almost every WWE live show. I think it’s a perfect time for the switch. The only fans he has are children anyway. It’s mostly the adult wrestling fans who can’t stand the guy.

Turning Cena heel would make the business a lot better. How? It will certainly get people scratching their heads and tuning into RAW out of curiosity that Cena is the bad guy. I don’t think Cena will lose ratings or merchandise sales either. I mean, when the Nexus group were around, they were considered bad guys but their T-shirt merchandise sales were pretty high. People were buying Nexus shirts even though they were heels. The same will happen with Cena.

With Cena being the heel, instead of having bright colored shirts, hats and wrist bands… Cena would probably make the switch to dark colored hats, shirts, and wrist bands. In order to be heel, I think he’ll need to wear mostly black clothing.

Cena was heel before. He was heel when he first started in WWE way back. I think he is a better actor at being a heel than he is as a babyface superhero.

I can see a heel Cena bullying young children at ringside, saying, “I’m not your hero anymore”. Turning Cena heel would put an interesting twist to his feud against CM Punk and the Rock.

The question is will we ever see Cena turn heel? I certainly hope so someday. Hopefully before Wrestlemania-28, we get a Cena heel turn. I want him to be a heel like everyone else ’cause his modern day Hulk Hogan gimmick is getting old and boring already.

WWE RAW is getting really good again. I’ve been enjoying it lately probably because of CM Punk, he’s a phenomenal performer and one of the bests.

Report: Dave Batista admits to not liking the PG rating in WWE…

Last year, Dave Batista left the WWE to try and pursue a career in Strikeforce. Since Dana White and Zuffa, LLC. purchased, “Strikeforce”, this forced Dave’s MMA dream to come to an end. What’s next for Dave in his professional career? Since he’s no longer doing “Strikeforce”, he said on twitter that he definitely plans on returning to the WWE in the near future. He said not at this moment. He is just taking some time off, to enjoy life for himself.

He also had something to say about the current PG direction that the WWE is going to. He says he loves the WWE, he just hates the PG thing like most of us. Here are some of Dave’s twitter rants (they’ve been creating controversy in the wrestling world)…Dave admitted he left the WWE because he didn’t like the PG rating.

“I’m the biggest wrestling fan there is..which is why I’m boycotting the PG BS! They’re selling watered down art bro. Kills me. real quick…i don’t hate the WWE! i love pro wrestling! just didn’t agree with the PG direction. i loved it edgy and hardcore. and i would definitely like to return…just not right now. im enjoying the hell out of my normal life. hope that makes sense. even though i dont agree with the direction they”ve taken, I bleed WWE. keep getting asked about a possible TNA run….and the answer is absolutely not. nothing against TNA. they”ve got some great talent. buwhich is why i’ve decided to sit it out rather than accept very generous offers from other promotions. hope everyone can respect that.”

I’m with Dave. I don’t like the PG thing too. I want the Attitude Era back. I miss the good old days of WWE when it was nothing but blood, graphic violence and sexy women that showed a lot of skin. We don’t have that anymore.

Even though I don’t care for the PG rating either, I continue to watch RAW because I still respect some of the performers. Plus there’s nothing else better to do on a Monday night. I’ll never forget the Mankind/Cactus Jack days. Those were the best days of WWE. Mick Foley made the Attitude Era for what it is.

Cool Video: The Rock responds to John Cena with an emotional message…

The Rock responded to John Cena last night on RAW via video satellite. This is one of the Rock’s best speeches in a long time. He gave an emotional one. The Rock was angry and sad at the same time in this video, and Dwayne did a great acting job showing that. You can tell that Dwayne’s film career is helping his wrestling speeches get better. You can feel the Rock’s emotion. I also loved how he explained why he left WWE to open doors for other wrestlers and even defended Cena a little bit.

Even though it’s confirmed that the Miz will wrestle Cena for the WWE Champ at WM-27, maybe that will change and have the Rock vs. Cena instead. Hopefully. Wrestlemania cards do change sometimes, so ya never know.

Cool Video: See the Undertaker and Triple H’s return here…

Last night’s RAW was such an amazing show, all the way through. It was better than the “Elimination Chamber” PPV. We’ve been getting a lot of superstar returns this year, really weird. The Rock came back. Booker T came back. Christian finally returned at the Chamber PPV. Kelly Kelly, the popular diva also returned. And most importantly…the Undertaker and Triple H were both revealed from the “2/21/11” videos. The Undertaker was seen in the “2/21/11” video but there was another figure wandering around in that video. Those two figures in the video were revealed on last night’s RAW. They were Triple H and the Undertaker, making their match together for Wrestlemania 27 official.

To be honest, I’m not really excited for Wrestlemania 27 this year, it seems like a regular RAW card. Triple H vs. the Undertaker is the only match worth looking forward to, that match is going to be amazing. Triple H and ‘Taker wrestled in matches many times before, they had a long history together. The first Wrestlemania match they had together was way back at Wrestlemania X-7.

I’m also looking forward to Jerry The King Lawler vs. Michael Cole. Of course, I’m predicting Michael Cole will win that match, with a little help of other heel wrestlers.

See the return of Triple H and Undertaker in this video. Listen to the crowd response. It’s crazy. They got a much powerful crowd reaction than the Rock. This is why I love WWE, folks! Gotta give the stars respect.

Now that the 2/21/11 video and the Wrestlemania guest host have been revealed, when will the Anonymous RAW GM ever get revealed?

You gotta give respect for the Undertaker…

 

So, the Undertaker is returning to RAW this coming Monday. That’s what the “2-21-11” videos are all about. The latest, “2-21-11” video clearly showed the Undertaker in it, shooting down all rumors of Sting making his WWE debut.

Have you noticed a lot of legendary wrestlers from the past, retiring from wrestling and leaving for other careers? Examples: Stone Cold, Mick Foley, The Rock, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, etc.

Not the Undertaker. He’s never backed out on WWE and he stuck with wrestling to this day. The Undertaker made his debut in WWE way back in 1990, that’s a long time he’s been with WWE, right? There’s a lot of speculation that the Undertaker will retire from WWE, but I think he’ll keep doing this until he dies.

I’m looking forward to Undertaker’s return to RAW this Monday. It’s clear that Mark Calloway loves his job too much. I think the Undertaker’s been around WWE longer than every wrestler pretty much. They don’t call him the Dead Man for nothing.

Stephanie McMahon is the anonymous RAW GM???

On RAW last night, before the Rock was announced Wrestlemania guest host, RAW showed footage of a woman’s legs stepping out of a long black limo. They just showed her legs, and not her face, keeping this woman anonymous. So since they kept her anonymous, she is obviously the RAW anonymous GM. When I saw that, Stephanie McMahon immediately came to my head.

It’s no surprise to me that one of the McMahon’s could be the RAW GM. Ridiculous, in my opinion. I was hoping the GM would be Jericho or Batista.

BREAKING NEWS: The Rock is finally back in WWE!!!

Yes, the Rock is finally back in the WWE. You heard that right. After a 7 year hiatus, the Rock have finally returned to tonight’s RAW. He didn’t appear in a titatron video screen, he appeared in the ring in person, himself. It was really him. 7 years ago, the Rock left WWE to pursue a movie career. Starring in a slew of movies such as, “The Scorpion King”, “The Run Down”, “Walking Tall”, “Be Cool”, “Get Smart”, “Tooth Fairy”, “Faster” and the recent “Fast and Furious 5”.

Look like the Rock will take a break from movies and stick around WWE for a little while, on RAW tonight, he just said he’s on RAW for a while full time, not just for Wrestlemania.

Could the Rock vs. John Cena at Wrestlemania 27 actually happen? The Rock came out to the ring to call out John Cena. The Rock mentioned that Cena was talking trash about the Rock while he was gone. I remember that. Remember, in interviews Cena accused Rock of backing out of WWE for a movie career, backstabbing wrestling fans.

For years, wrestling fans have begged the Rock to come back. We all knew he would be back, it was only a matter of time. The Rock waited for Valentine’s Day to make his official return.

I’m glad to see the Rock back. It’s about time. The Rock looks great and he’s looking ripped. He still cuts a great promo like he always had and the fans still love him. Now the Rock is Wrestlemania guest host, this leaves him out of the RAW Anonymous GM thing.

I kind of new the Rock was going to return tonight ’cause he already gave a hint about it on his official facebook page.

I’m very happy that Dwayne is finally in WWE. Congrats Dwayne!

Report: Vince McMahon to return to RAW tonight!

Yes, WWE made the announcement today that Vince Mcmahon is returning to RAW tonight. For what? They didn’t say. I can think of a few things why he’s returning tonight.

1) To get his revenge on Nexus. The Nexus group is what took him out the last time.

2) To reveal the RAW anonymous GM?

Hopefully, a little bit of both. Tonight’s RAW is gonna be interesting! Can’t wait to see what McMahon has in store for us tonight! It’s about time! He’s always been known to take long hiatus’s from WWE, and comes back in time for Wrestlemania.
