WWE is running out of longtime veterans… soon we won’t have any at all…

Since the Undertaker is done with WWE, I’m realizing now that the business is running out of WWE veterans/legends. All the long time WWE icons have either retired, been fired in real life or have died. We no longer have Steve Austin, The Rock, Chris Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, JBL, HBK Shawn Michaels, CM Punk, etc. The list goes on… Triple H is still around but he only performs occasionally and it’s looking like he’s about to step back. It’s also looking like John Cena is on the brink of retirement too. Same with Rey Mysterio.

We’re running out of the veterans and well-known icons now that the Undertaker is thrown on the list. We still have Randy Orton who still performs in WWE full time even to this day but sooner or later Randy could end up retiring… I’ll give it more time. Edge came back to the WWE but he’s in it for one more run and that’s it for him.

Kind of a good thing, though ’cause there’s a lot of new and young talent that deserves a chance to shine and become big icons later in years.

It kind of sucks but it is what it is. Wrestling changes over the years. Wrestling companies get new and different rosters all the time.

There are quite a few new talent today that are becoming top stars already like AJ Styles, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt, Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, Ronda Rousey… to name a few.

I do miss the old days of wrestling, though especially the Stone Cold years, that was the best. I don’t think we’ll get another Stone Cold and Undertaker again; although, I do know the WWE is gonna try. Stone Cold and ‘Taker can’t be replaceable.

Does The Undertaker vs. John Cena deserve to happen?

For Wrestlemania this year, it’s definitely looking like that the Undertaker vs. John Cena is gonna happen. It probably will happen ’cause a Cena vs. ‘Taker feud has already started on RAW. Cena just started challenging ‘Taker. Ya know, this match I think needs to happen ’cause a Cena vs. ‘Taker match has never happened at a Wrestlemania believe it or not! It’s true! I think a match like that is about to come to a reality.

I used to hate John Cena, but I don’t anymore. My respect for Cena grew pretty slowly over the years but now my respect for him is immense. Love him or hate him, Cena is a work horse in the business. The man works hard. He’s one guy that works in WWE on a full time basis all year round. He does take time off here and there but not much. He’s a hard worker and good performer. He’s also a good wrestler. Many wrestling fans refuses to admit that Cena has put on a lot of exciting and thrilling matches at Wrestlemania over the years.

Many wrestling fans don’t want ‘Taker vs. Cena to happen, but I think it’s a match that deserves to happen. No doubt that ‘Taker and Cena will bring the house down and put on a very exciting match. Undertaker matches are always very exciting. I’m not ashamed to admit that Cena is becoming a favorite of mine. I think ‘Taker and Cena will put on a brilliant match together, and it will probably end up being one of the best matches on the WM-34  card.

Who will end up winning the ‘Taker vs. Cena match? Probably ‘Taker. Remember, ‘Taker lost his WM streak to Brock Lesnar at WM-30 and ‘Taker lost again to Roman Reigns at WM-33 last year. Since ‘Taker lost a WM last year, I think WWE will make him win again so the fans can be happy ’cause fans were upset when he lost to Reigns. Was that ‘Taker’s last match with Reigns? I don’t think so… I think ‘Taker has some more wrestling in him left. I think ‘Taker will have his last match with Cena and win that one so ‘Taker can have his last match as his winning match.

What is the WM-34 card looking like so far? Well as far as I know there are two matches confirmed already: “Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns for Universal Title” and “Aj Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakumura for the WWE Title”.

I’m looking forward to Wrestlemania this year as always. I watch it every year and thanks to WWE Network, it gave me the opportunity to watch every single one. I hope this year’s card is gonna be a good one!

Who will help Shane win his match against Undertaker at “Hell in a Cell” for WM-32…

Yeah, I’m probably gonna end up watching WM-32 this Sunday night. I skipped the last couple of Wrestlemania’s lately ’cause I lost interest in WWE. I haven’t watched RAW in a long time. I haven’t watched RAW in over a year so far but I still read what’s going on, though. Even though I stopped watching WWE, I still have a love for professional wrestling. Anyway, I’m probably gonna end up watching WM-32 this Sunday ’cause there are 3 matches on the card I want to see. I’m gonna watch the ppv for “Undertaker vs. Shane”, “Dean Ambrose vs. Brock Lesnar” and “Chris Jericho vs. AJ Styles”. Those three matches will probably steal the show at Wrestlemania this Sunday for sure.

As far as the Undertaker vs. Shane match… I’m predicting that Shane McMahon is probably gonna win that one so he can take control of RAW. Shane won’t win the match by himself, though. I think Shane is definitely gonna get some help. Probably some iconic superstar from the past is gonna get involved in that match to help Shane win against Undertaker at “Hell in a Cell”. I think Undertaker is gonna lose again ’cause rumor has it Undertaker is retiring from wrestling soon anyways, that’s what I heard anyways.

Anyhow, the top 5 superstars from the past who I think will help Shane win the Hell in a Cell match?

1. Sting
2. Kurt Angle
3. John Cena
4. Stone Cold Steve Austin
5. Mick Foley

I threw Mick Foley in there ’cause there’s a guy who knows Hell in a Cell matches better than anybody so it would kind of make sense if Foley went in to help Shane. That be kind of cool if Foley got involved in another “Hell in a Cell” match again.

If not Foley then it’s probably gonna be the other 4.

Cena has been gone from wrestling for a long while and he could mark his return at WM-32 at some point.

There’s a lot of talk that Kurt Angle might be returning to WWE at some point. Sting is rumored to make an appearance and Stone Cold Steve Austin is expected to be involved in Wrestlemania this Sunday but who knows what Stone Cold will do? Could Stone Cold deliver the Undertaker a few stunners and the double finger?

Most of the Wrestlemania card is pretty bad but I’m only looking forward to 3 matches so I hope it’s worth the money.

Undertaker vs. Shane will be a good one though. I’m sure Shane will do a few dangerous high flying moves that will thrill the crowd and Shane will hurt himself doing it too. It should be a pretty thrilling match and I’m looking forward to it. Undertaker matches are always good and they never disappoint.

Undertaker’s opponent revealed at Wrestlemania 32… it’s Shane McMahon…

Everybody’s been wondering what Undertaker’s opponent at Wrestlemania 32 will be and now we finally know. Undertaker’s opponent for ‘Mania has been finally revealed at last night’s RAW. I didn’t watch RAW last night and now I wished I did. Why? Because Shane McMahon is back and that’s who’s ‘Taker’s opponent is gonna be so it’s gonna be Shane McMahon vs. The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 32 in a Hell In a Cell match.

Shane McMahon aka Shane O’ Mac left WWE back in 2010 so he can become an entrepreneur himself and now he’s back after a 5 year hiatus from the company. Shane O’ still kills it with his entrance I see. Shane O’ has always been my favorite of the McMahon family ’cause he’s a great performer and great wrestler too. Shane O’ has always put on very entertaining matches so I’m pretty sure Shane O’ vs. Undertaker in a Hell In a Cell match is gonna be a very good one. Of course, Shane O’ will probably lose the match and he will probably leave the WWE again after that.

Shane O’ maybe back but I’m sure it’s not a full time run, he’s going to stick around ’til this year’s ‘Mania. When ever Shane O’ is in a match, he has always been known as a high flyer type of wrestler, that’s why his matches are always entertaining. Shane O’ has always been an important part of the Attitude Era back in the day. I’m thinking about watching ‘Mania this year ’cause I really wanna see Shane O’ vs. ‘Taker as I know that will probably be the match of the night. Undertaker matches are always very good.

Video: The Undertaker makes surprising appearance on Jimmy Fallon last night…

I was watching Jimmy Fallon last night and the Undertaker came out to give the turkey a tombstone piledriver. The tombstone piledriver is the Undertaker’s famous finishing move in WWE. When the Undertaker’s theme started playing and a huge guy started walking out to the stage, I didn’t think it would be really him but it ended up being really him afterall. His real name is Mark Calaway.

I was expecting ‘Taker to give Jimmy the Tombstone piledriver too ’cause that would have been awesome but of course, it didn’t happen. Wouldn’t it be cool if ‘Taker give him the Tombstone piledriver after Jimmy sticking out his hand for ‘Taker to shake? When Undertaker looked Jimmy dead in the eye, I think that was a warning to leave him alone or he will give Jimmy the piledriver too so Jimmy immediately backed off.

Jimmy looked really frightened of the Undertaker, you can tell that he really is afraid of him. I mean who isn’t afraid of the Undertaker?

Undertaker is one of the baddest characters in wrestling and I’m a huge fan myself. Undertaker is a legend for sure.

Vince McMahon not angry at the sight of blood at “Hell in a Cell” but angry at Brock Lesnar for something else…

It turns out that Vince McMahon wasn’t angry at the sight of blood at the “Hell In A Cell” match at all but instead Vince was angry at Brock Lesnar for something else. What was Vince angry at Brock about? Well, when Brock’s head started bleeding, a doctor came in the ring to wipe the blood off of Brock’s head but that pissed Brock off and he pushed the doctor out of the way. The doctor came out to wipe the blood off of Brock’s and Undertaker’s faces since blood isn’t allowed on TV but Vince was still pissed at Brock for pushing the doctor. That’s what really happened.

Turns out that Brock’s head injury during the “Hell in a Cell” match last Sunday was real and here are the pics for proof.

http://www.inquisitr.com/2522782/wwe-rumors-vince-mcmahon-extremely-angry-at-brock-lesnar-but-not-for-blood-at-hell-in-a-cell/

Honestly, Brock probably didn’t mean to push the doctor. Brock was probably pissed that he was getting interrupted ’cause he was in a powerful moment with the Undertaker and Brock just didn’t want to let the fans down and keep the show going.

Will Vince give Brock Lesnar some sort of punishment for pushing the doctor? Maybe like a fine or a suspension? No. Vince won’t do anything to Brock ’cause Brock is too valuable to the WWE. The WWE doesn’t want to lose him so Vince will do nothing. I’m sure Vince and Brock had a private talk about it, though. Vince doesn’t want to anger Brock again ’cause remember Vince and Brock had a long feud in the past just before Brock returned to the WWE. Vince wouldn’t want to ruin his relationship with Brock again, ya know?

Vince McMahon angry at the sight of blood during Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker “Hell In a Cell” match…

I didn’t watch the Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker “Hell in a Cell” last night but sounded like it was a good match like always. Lesnar and Undertaker has always put on brilliant matches together. Blood in WWE is no longer allowed on TV since Vince McMahon has a strict “no blood” policy due to it’s PG rating. If they have blood, they’re worried it could lose sponsors and advertisers. Whenever wrestlers have blood on TV it’s usually by accident though and whenever there is blood, Vince would usually fine the wrestlers some money as some punishment.

http://uproxx.com/prowrestling/2015/10/vince-mcmahon-freaked-out-at-hell-in-a-cell/

Whenever there’s an Undertaker match and especially Hell In a Cell, you expect no blood? Seriously? Vince should have known that and he needs to get over himself. I’m almost pretty sure fans loved seeing the blood but unfortunately, Vince doesn’t care what the fans want anymore. He can’t get rid of the dumb PG rating ’cause he’s afraid of losing his sponsors. Well, don’t you think that if he’s keeping the sponsors and keeping the PG rating that could be what’s causing the ratings to drop? Nobody likes the PG rating anyways, Vince. We want to see the blood back and last night’s ppv proved that. I didn’t watch it but wishing I did. Undertaker back in a Hell in a Cell match is always amazing.

Vince being angry at the sigh of blood during matches is nothing new ’cause he’s always been like this. He doesn’t care what the fans want at all, it’s all about what he wants really. He’s living in a world that’s all about himself really.

It’s one of the reasons why I pretty much stopped watching WWE. Don’t like the family friendly PG rating. I’m sure the blood last night helped WWE got more ppv buys.

I still love professional wrestling, I just don’t like where it’s going these days.

The Undertaker returns to WWE to get revenge at Brock Lesnar…

Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker rematch for Wrestlemania 32? That is what’s gonna look like to me. I may have stopped watching WWE for a long while but I’m gonna have to tune in to RAW tonight ’cause Undertaker is probably gonna appear. The Undertaker is back to get his revenge at Lesnar ’cause Lesnar took the undefeated Wrestlemania streak away from him.

I haven’t watched wrestling in a long time but this is pretty cool. I’ve always been a big Undertaker fan.

In defense of WWE and Brock Lesnar ending the Undertaker’s Wrestlemania streak…

Wow. A lot of wrestling fans are upset and pissed off that the WWE had decided to go for Brock Lesnar ending the Undertaker’s undefeated, “Wrestlemania” streak. Wrestling fans have been ranting and crying about it all day in social networking: facebook, twitter, etc.

Ya know, no matter what people think of this move, the WWE just made history. This will be a historic moment that will be talked about years from now. The WWE is happy. They’ll DO whatever it takes to make history. I’m sure they know it’s going to be controversial. I’m sure they know they’re going to take a lot of heat from it from the fans. They’ll do whatever it takes for more ratings and ppv buys. WWE is no stranger to controversy, they’ve done much worse in the past.

I’m probably one of the very few who thinks Brock Lesnar ending ‘Taker’s streak is a good idea. I mean, Undertaker is retiring. What better ways to have Undertaker’s streak ended at one of the biggest ppv’s in history, WM-30? I’m sure fans would want a better choice to end the streak than Lesnar but I think they picked Lesnar ’cause they knew this was going to create a lot of attention. I mean, if somebody else ended ‘Taker’s streak like say Shawn Michaels or Triple H, that would have been too easy and too predictable. I can see why they picked Brock.

It’s interesting how so many people hate Brock Lesnar. I like the guy. Always did. Like Lesnar or hate him, he’s the Mike Tyson of MMA and sports entertainment. “Iron” Mike Tyson and Brock Lesnar are similar in so many ways. Both of those guys have one thing in common. They like to consider themselves as a badass “motherfucker”, ya know what I mean? They both maybe bad guys in sports but they had to do what they had to do to make their dreams come true. I’m sure a lot of people will accuse Brock of not accomplishing much in UFC or WWE but he HAS accomplished a lot. Look at his records through UFC and WWE if you want proof. Lesnar was in the NFL for a little bit too.

Everybody’s upset. Crying about it in social networking and threatening WWE that they’ll quit watching, blah blah blah. I mean, really? This is just a fucking show, kids. JUST A SHOW! I never took anything WWE did seriously ’cause I know it’s fake and scripted. I just watch it for fun ’cause they are good at what they do and I respect them for working hard entertaining people.

I thought Brock was the right choice. Nobody else. It’s understandable why so many hate Brock but that’s what the man always wanted, I think. He wants people to hate him. That is a part of why he’s where he is at now ’cause all the haters helped get him to where he is. This is pretty much how Mike Tyson became a boxing icon ’cause so many people hated him back in the day. Brock is a talented guy, love him or hate him. If he’s getting so many people to hate him, he must be doing something right. He’s the Mike Tyson of this generation.

He’s just a performer and entertainer. I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes after last night.

Undertaker is a backstage leader of WWE. He makes choices of his Wrestlemania opponent so it was his decision to wrestle Brock and his decision to have Brock end the streak. If you watch the match again, you can see ‘Taker instructing Brock what to do. To end the match, you can see ‘Taker telling Brock to end with the F5, his finisher. Everybody wants to blame this on WWE and Vince but this was all ‘Taker’s decision alone. It’s how he wanted to be remembered when he retires. It’s appropriate and makes total sense to end the streak at his last match. The streak can’t last forever. He can’t wrestle every Wrestlemania. He’s gonna grow old and die like the rest of us so he’s gonna hang it up soon. He’s getting old and worn out. His body is too beat up and why he has health problems over the years in his wrestling career.

On top of that, Undertaker had a brilliant run. The streak maybe over but his legacy in wrestling will never die. The Undertaker is one of my favorite’s too. I’ve been watching him for many years. He had many classic matches. He had a 24 year long career so it’s about time for him to hang it up.

I think good things will come for Brock Lesnar after this. Love him or hate him, Lesnar will be a future Hall of Famer ’cause of this.

I’m not upset about this at all ’cause I respect the hell out of the WWE for doing such a risky move. Vince has balls. Can’t deny it. He’ll do anything to give WWE more attention. He doesn’t give a shit.

I know fans want answers on why but why should they explain themselves? “Wrestlemania” is all about making history and that’s what they did.

Thoughts on Undertaker losing the Wrestlemania streak last night…

10154980_642475882490581_1850796503_n

Man, I’m glad I decided to buy Wrestlemania last night. I almost wasn’t gonna get it but the card this year was really good so I couldn’t miss this one. I did watch Wrestlemania last night.

Some of you are probably wondering my thoughts on the Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker match last night. Brock won the match and Undertaker lost the undefeated Wrestlemania streak. ‘Taker won 21 Wrestlemania’s throughout the years in his career. Undertaker’s undefeated Wrestlemania streak was meant to be something special and historic. The streak was never meant to broken at all. Unfortunately, people thought wrong. The streak can be broken. You just never know when and how. Everybody knew the streak would end soon but people didn’t think the streak would end this soon.

To be honest, I knew the streak was coming to an end, I didn’t think it would be at last night’s ‘Mania either. So it admittedly kind of shocked me too. A lot of fans are pissed and upset but that’s the point. That’s what heel wrestlers like Brock Lesnar does, they’re supposed to upset people.

I’ve read that Undertaker (who’s real name is Mark Calaway) is on the verge of retirement so this was bound to happen anyway. A lot of people knew the streak was gonna end soon, a lot of them didn’t want the streak to end to Brock Lesnar.

Sorry to say y’all but I think losing the streak to Brock was the right guy. Undertaker and Brock had so much history together that goes way back to the Attitude Era days in the 90’s. I think Undertaker and Brock are friends in real life and since Undertaker is retiring soon he was willing to lose the streak to Brock. Undertaker felt Brock was the right guy to lose it to.

Other than that, the Brock vs. Undertaker match was excellent. Losing the streak kept things unpredictable and interesting. That’s what WWE have been missing for years, “unpredictability”.

The rest of the matches were really great too. Triple H vs. Daniel Bryan was awesome. John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt was awesome too. Even the Divas match was awesome too. I liked all of it. The opening segment with Hogan, Stone Cold and the Rock opening the show was entertaining as hell. I’m glad Daniel Bryan walked out WWE Champion at the end. For once we get a Wrestlemania where John Cena didn’t headline the main event which was getting really old, ha ha! Good job Vince and WWE! It was a great Wrestlemania and definitely worth the money!

I’m looking forward to RAW tonight now.
