Superstar Billy Graham slams Shane McMahon for jumping off the “Hell in a Cell”…

Leave a comment

While I respect the hell out of Superstar Billy Graham, I’ll have to disagree with him on this one. Shane McMahon was willing to sacrifice himself just to put on a hell of a show. He didn’t care how hurt he was gonna get, he wanted to entertain the fans in a big way and he was willing to hurt himself in order to make it happen. Yes, wrestling is fake, scripted and a lot of moves are just acrobatic stunts but what Shane did here was pretty ballsy so I give a lot of respect for Shane for doing this move.

If you disagree with Shane on doing this risky move, why don’t you say that to Mick Foley? Mick Foley is a hardcore wrestling legend who put his life on the line many times just to put on a show. Mick Foley even lost an ear ’cause of a match he had with Vader. Mick Foley had many real life injuries just to put on a hell of a show.

After Shane’s match with the Undertaker at ‘Mania 32, I have even more respect for Shane McMahon now. Shane was willing to risk his life just to put on a show for us, he didn’t care what it took.

I think Billy Graham is just jealous of Shane ’cause Billy couldn’t do something like that.

I don’t know if Shane is really hurt ’cause of that jump but I’m pretty sure he’s beat up a little bit. Either way Shane didn’t care. Once again, he was willing to do anything to put on a show and that’s what he did it for.

I wish Shane would stick around longer but looks like his match at WM-32 is a one-off for him. He just returned part-time. Thank you, Shane, and I hope Shane does another match for us at WM-33 next year. I think next year should be Shane vs. Vince, would be cool.

Wrestlemania 32 review…

Leave a comment

Well last night on WWE Network, I got to watch “Wrestlemania 32” for FREE ’cause I signed up for their free trial. Over the weekend, I’ve started to watch older Wrestlemanias on it and so far, I’m very impressed with WWE Network. It’s actually a cool streaming service ’cause you can watch old school wrestling on there. WWE Network has everything. It has every episode of RAW and SMACKDOWN. It also has every WWE PPV. It even has all the WCW and ECW ppvs as well. WWE Network is not just a streaming service, it’s also a 24 hr. wrestling channel which is cool.

Anyway, I got to watch Wrestlemania 32 last night on WWE Network for FREE ’cause I didn’t want to pay $60 or $70 for a ppv, ya know? I think I’m gonna keep WWE Network for sure. I can watch WWE Network on my PS3 ’cause I installed the app on the PS3 and watched it on there. WWE Network is pretty similar to Netflix but a little different. I plan on keeping both Netflix and WWE Network but I’m gonna have to cancel the Netflix DVD rental as a way to help cut down costs. I don’t need Netflix DVD rental anyways but I’ll keep the Netflix streaming, though. If I want to rent movies, I can just rent them through the Itunes store.

On with my Wrestlemania 32 review, it was a pretty good Wrestlemania. Not the best Wrestlemania ever but pretty good. Could have been better but the best matches of the night were the IC Championship ladder match, the Triple Threat Divas Championship match, AJ Styles vs. Chris Jericho, Undertaker vs. Shane “Hell in a Cell” and “Triple H vs. Roman Reigns”.

Here are my thoughts on each match from last night:

Ladder Match for the IC Title: 7 mid-card superstars took part in this match and it was surprisingly very fun and exciting. I liked the match a lot. Glad Zach Ryder got the win ’cause I liked him for a pretty long time.

Chris Jericho vs. AJ Styles: This was definitely one of the best matches of the night. Technical wrestling is finally back! This match was true wrestling right here. Chris and AJ were both really good. I remember watching AJ Styles on TNA wrestling and I always knew one day he would make it in WWE. AJ Styles is a talent you should be looking up to ’cause we have a future main eventer and future WWE Champion. I’m glad Jericho won this match ’cause I’ve been a Jericho fan for a pretty long time. Still am.

The League of Nations vs. The New Day: This wasn’t a very good match but it got a lot better when Stone Cold, Mick Foley and Shawn Michaels HBK made surprising appearances at the end of match. I’m glad to see Mick Foley back in WWE finally and it was great to see Foley back in action. We haven’t seen Foley in action in a long time and I’m glad he used the sock aka the Mandible Claw.

Brock Lesnar vs. Dean Ambrose “Street Fight”: This match was just okay and nothing special. They kept it in the ring the whole time and called it a “Street Fight”? Really? How about taking the fight outside of the ring like fight in the audience, backstage or even outside of the arena like the good old days of wrestling? That’s how “Street Fights” in WWE used to be. Why the change?

The Rock segment: Cena/the Rock vs. The Wyatt Family: This segment was pretty lame and boring at best. The Rock’s speech was pretty long and boring. Why do Rock segments at Wrestlemania have to be so damn long? *yawn* I used to like the Rock but he hasn’t been interesting anymore. I’m not looking forward to John Cena being back either.


Triple Threat Divas Championship w/ Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch: Never thought I would say this for a Divas match but I think this match would have to be another favorite of the night. This match was surprisingly amazing. It was a pretty thrilling and exciting match actually. I thought the three women Charlotte, Sasha and Becky played this match beautifully. Yes, there was actually some good wrestling going on and we haven’t had this in a long time. My eyes were glued to the screen during this match. This was the best Divas match in a long time and I really mean that too. I am now a fan of Charlotte Flair who is the daughter of Ric Flair.

20 Man Andre the Giant Battle Royal: This match was pretty dumb. I believe this match was put on the card as a way to fill up time for the card, nothing more.

The Undertaker vs. Shane “Hell in a Cell”: Not surprised that the Undertaker ended up winning this one and it was a clean win for the Undertaker. Nobody came in to help Shane at all but Shane was doing good. This match was just okay but could have been better. It’s not a “Hell in a Cell” match with no blood and there wasn’t any. Plus they rehashed a lot of stuff from the Mick Foley vs. Undertaker “Hell in a Cell” matches in the past like when Shane jumped off from the top of the Cell and into the announcer table, that was borrowed from Foley, I think. Don’t get me wrong, this was an exciting match but could have been better.

Triple H vs. Roman Reigns for WWE Title: I was expecting Triple H to win this one but Roman Reigns ended up winning it. This was a great match surprisingly. Both men did a good job and they kept it unpredictable too. Only thing I didn’t like about the match is Stephanie ’cause she’s annoying as fuck. Other than that, this was a great match.

Overall a pretty good Wrestlemania. Glad I got to watch it for FREE and don’t have to pay a thing thanks to the WWE Network free trial! I plan to watch RAW tonight to see what happens after.

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

Leave a comment

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…

Leave a comment

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.
