John Morrison makes fun of Triple H & the Undertaker

The Big Event II

John Morrison & The Wrestling Fans Review

Hello wrestling fans. This weekend, we attended The Big Event in Queens, NY, which was a wrestling convention featuring Professional Wrestlers/Entertainers and Playboy Playmates, Alison Waite and Jessica Burciaga. I want to start off by saying that it was as The Miz would say, AWESOME!!! Everyone was great and nice. I really have no complaint at all. It was our first time attending so we really didn’t know what to expect. The featured stars were John Morrison, Melina, Chelsea, Bobby Heenan, Marty Jannetty, Winter, Tugboat aka Typhoon, The Powers of Pain (The Barbarian and Warlord), Melissa Coates, The Franchise Shane Douglas, The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags), Rosita, Jerry Lynn, Papa Shango aka The Godfather, Shelly Martinez, Angelina Love, Jim The Anvil Neidhart, Ashley Massaro, Bobby Lashley, The Boogeyman, Maryse, and Abdullah the Butcher.

The Miz is next in line for the WWE title

Now that the Miz got rid of so some dead weight what is next for him? Well, I am hoping and praying that he will get a change to be in the main event WrestleMania 28. What am I saying, for the moment he is the only person at the level of CM Punk. The Miz is the biggest heel the WWE has right now, the fans hate him and love to watch him get his ass whooped. The WWE has showed that they have no faith in Alberto Del Rio as the WWE Champion for the time being. I can see Del Rio challenging Punk for the title in the next two Pay Per View, but I predict The Miz will win the Royal Rumble and challenge CM Punk for the WWE title, at the grandest stage of them all. The Miz has proven that he can hang with the best of them, Cena, Punk, and now The Rock. He has also made careers, John Morrison and R-Truth became better, because he was their tag team partners. The Miz is the only logical person to challenge CM Punk for the WWE Heavyweight Championship, but will the WWE put the title back on the Awesome one that is the question.

John Morrison left the WWE

John Morrison & Melina

John Morrison WWE contract expired today, and the WWE attempted to re-sing him, but Morrison declined their offer. The rumors are that he will be heading to TNA with his real life girl friend Melina. I wish them the best of luck, but I can’t see how changing companies will help Morrison’s lack of charisma. He was jobbing for the latter part of his WWE career. He will be heading to wrestling company full of ex-WWE stars, to which I can’t see them stepping down and letting him bask in the spot light. On the other hand Melina can make a huge impact in the Knockout division. Melina has the “it” factor that Morrison lacks. If I was part of the creative team I would also hire Morrison ex-partner Adam Birch better known as Joey Mercury. The idea is to put Morrison where he can produce the best quality matches and that is in the tag team division. TNA is in need of a good tag team, now that Beer Money has split. This would be the perfect launching pad for him, look what Bobby Rhodes and Bully Ray are doing as single competitors. The move to TNA is a rumor and it can always change, but if he does make the move to TNA, I really hope they do right by him.

WWE Survivor Series Weekend

Hello wrestling fans, my WWE Survivor Series weekend started Friday morning at Madison Square Garden. I attempted to meet CM Punk. When I got there, the first 150 people were already there since about 3 a.m. I still stuck around to see CM Punk, try to win prizes, and get a chance to play the new WWE 12 video game. Well I didn’t get a chance to play the game, but I did win a Survivor Series T-shirt for answering a WWE trivia question on stage with Jimmy Hart. I also got to see CM Punk and hear the Q & A they had. Honestly the questions they picked weren’t even about wrestling and were ridiculous. I must admit, CM Punk doesn’t seem like a cool or approachable guy, but I didn’t meet him so I’m not really sure. I would like to congratulation him for winning the WWE Championship Title on Sunday.

Saturday began right across the street from MSG at Kmart. My brother and I went to meet Zack Ryder and the Bella Twins. Waiting on line, we all got to meet referee Charles Robinson aka "Little Naitch" in WCW with the Four Horsemen. It was fun waiting on line trying to figure out how to tell the difference between Brie and Nikki Bella but one thing we all knew was that they are even more gorgeous in person than on TV. This weekend, I became an official member of the Zack Pack. (Editors’ Note: You became one cause of me, WOO WOO WOO, YOU KNOW IT) The Long Island Iced Z is doing his thing and growing a huge fan base. Throughout the whole match between John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler, the whole arena kept yelling "WE WANT RYDER!!" Why hasn’t he gotten his U.S. title chance? Are you serious bro? Anyways, meeting Ryder and the Bella Twins was great and Ryder even had his Internet Championship right on the table. They were all nice and you could tell Ryder was having a blast being in his hometown, interacting with his fans.

Sunday morning we began with a trip to Garden City, NY's Roosevelt Field Mall to see The Miz and Eve Torres. One word, AWESOME!!! The Miz is a great guy, not only did he sign the photo I had, he even signed my belt. Eve is unbelievably gorgeous in person and super nice. With the exception of the "mall cops" thinking they're real cops, it was still a great signing. I would definitely go again.

The energy inside MSG before the show was incredible. Broski headbands were already sold out, but I managed to get one pair, once we got inside the arena. The atmosphere inside the arena is nothing like watching it at home. The NYC crowd just could not help show their NYC attitude by mostly rooting for the heels. A perfect example was when Sin Cara was on the floor with an injury; we can’t help but yell out "YOU FUCKED UP!!" It was awesome. The biggest boo's of the night were definitely John Cena, Mason Ryan, and shockingly John Morrison. The biggest pop of the night is a tie between The Rock and Zack Ryder. Second to them were CM Punk and Cody Rhodes, then other tough guys like Sheamus, Wade Barrett, Dolph Ziggler, Miz, Truth, etc. I must admit, I give Survivor Series a, 7 out of 10. I didn’t like that the U.S. title match didn’t turn into a triple threat match, giving Ryder his shot, and that Daniel Bryan didn’t cash in his Money in the Bank contract after the match between Big Show and Mark Henry. I hated the ending with Cena and Rock winning but it goes with the storyline, since the Awesome Truth split up last night on Raw. Overall, the show was awesome and I can’t wait to go back. This weekend was exhausting for me, but it was well worth it.

This Week in Wrestling of November 13, 2011

This week in wrestling, Zack Ryder finally made it to the main event of Raw along side of John Cena. Throughout most of the match, the Miz & R-Truth whopped Ryder’s ass all over the ring, but towards the end of the match here come SuperCena who attempted to gain a victory over the Awesome Truth. The high light of the match was when Ryder & Cena hit a double “Five Knuckle Shuffle” on their opponents. The top heel of company (The Miz) won the match with the help of his partner.  I am super excited that Ryder is in the main event, and  I am not worried at all that he had is ass handed to him on a silver platter, because apparently no one will take SuperCena baby face spot away from him.

Now to the eye candy portion of the show, Kelly Kelly is on the cover of the new Maxim Magazine. She was interrupted by the Divas Champion Beth Phoenix who was accompany by Natalya, I thought there was a cat fight a brewing , but Eve (I don't understand why she cut her Latin last name out) And Alicia (Rihanna look alike) Fox hit the ring for the save.  The segment was longer then an average Divas match. I love all the Divas, I am just poking a little fun, so don't take any offence to any of the crap I say about the Divas J

John Morrison finally won a match; I guess he’s out of the dog house. It's funny that Melina's 90 day Non-compete agreement is over and Morrison wins his first match in months.  I guess Morrison was given a 90 day shut your mouth and be happy we don't let you go also punishment. The other guy that won a match was former World Champion Jack Swagger. He was the butt of the joke last week when he lost to Santino Marella after the Muppets interfered during the match. Marella should be really careful with what he drinks; he gets suspended for violating the wellness program. Hey you know who also won a match on Raw? Nuestro Campion De la WWE (translation Our WWE Champion) Alberto Del Rio. He defeated a mid-card wrestler Kofi Kingston. This win really showed how good Del Rio truly is, not really. I wouldn't be surprise if CM Punk wins next Sunday at Survivor Series.

Kevin Nash, who was absents last week on Raw, graced us with presence this week and explained why he took out his best friend Triple H. He goes on to says.."CLICK" a la CM Punk.

On Impact Wrestling Ronnie Ortiz from the Jersey Shore made his in ring debut, alongside EY, Eric Young. They took on Robbie E & Robbie T in a tag team match. The wrestlers carried the match, until the end when Ronnie came in, hit a clothes line, a body slam and then covered Robbie E for the win. These sets of moves, look & sounds familiar, it should because it was the same scenario the WWE used with Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi at WrestleMania 27. Impact wrestling, you are guilty of stealing another move out of the WWE play book.

The new Impact World Champion Bobby Roode was in the ring gloating over his win and his first World Champion reign. Last week Roode defeated his best friend James Storm, by hitting him over his head with a beer bottle. His best quote was "are you booing me or chanting Roode, Roode… this new generation, is a generation of selfishness and I am the leader of new generation”, I can see a superstar being born right before my eyes. Sting announces that James Storm is getting a rematch for the World title on that night. We then see Storm in the locker room area bleeding from his head and he proclaims he will still take on the champion. The finish of the match was great, Roode helped his ex partner to his feet because Storm was unable to continue due to the lost of blood.  Roode asked the referee if the match was over, to which the referee responded no, so Roode put Storm in a small package and got the 123. AJ Style and Kazarian rushed to Storm’s aid. Style dammed a match with Roode at Turning Point, to which Sting agreed to.

On SmackDown I saw a team of Latin wrestler, getting TV time, new comer Epico, Hunico, and Primo. Epico is the cousin of Primo and nephew of Carlos Colón; he comes from a great Wrestling family. Hunico is of Mexican descent, but born in El Paso, Texas. I don’t understand why all Latin wrestlers in the WWE are depicted as Mexican or gang members. I am noticing a hint of racism. First of all, the Colón family is well known, all over the world and they are Puerto Ricans, not Mexican, so the WWE needs to stop putting bandanas on their head like Cholos. Secondly not all Latino are in gangs, we just have big families J

Pro- Wrestling lost another legend this week, 80 year old Killer Karl Kox. He was a star in the late 60’s and early 70’s for WCW promotion. Henry Godwinn was involved in a terrible car accident, in which he miraculously survived. Kamala had one of his feet amputated due to complications from diabetes. Our thoughts & prayers go out to Killer Karl Kox families for their lost. We should also prayer that Henry Godwinn and Kamala have a speedy recovery. Now, we should celebrate the life of one of the greatest Mexican Luchador, Eddie Guerrero. On November 13, 2005 I learned of Eddie’s passing, and I was in shock. I have been told that I am a non emotional guy, but that night I couldn’t hold my tries back, he was an average size man that showed the world that with hard work and determination you can accomplish anything. So let’s ring the bell ten times for, a father, a husband, the man that paved the way for the Cruiserweight or X division, for a WWE Champion, a Hall of Famer, an Icon, a legend, for “lying, cheating and stealing”, for Latino Heat, for “VIVA LA RAZA”. We will also miss you, EDDIE, EDDIE, EDDIE!

Z! True Long Island Story (Episode # 39)

Monday Night Raw Part 2 (August 15, 2011)

Jack Swagger and John Morrison finally gain a victory on Raw. Since his return Morrison has lost every match that he was involved in, I guess this was because of all the back stage politics. I am assuming that he is still upset that his girlfriend Melina

Tough Enough

                      

Tough Enough aired this past Monday night on the USA Network.   For those who don’t know, Tough Enough is a reality series about 14 contestants who train and live under one roof, whose ultimate gold is  to win a WWE contract.  The 14 contestants will be trained by former WWE superstars, Booker T, Bill Demott, and Trish Status. The host and judge of Tough Enough is Stone Cold Steve Austin.  Wrestling fans can actually see what a wrestler goes through in order to entertain the fans on nightly bases. In the premier episode we saw the contestants run the ropes for three minutes without stopping, Stone cold and the trainers picked the worst three participants that performed the challenge. After Steve Austin questions the three competitors on why should they stay in the completion, one of them was sent home. Ariane Andrew a 23 year old California native was the first person sent home. She was asked by Steve Austin, which is her favorite match of all time; she answered Melina vs. Alicia Fox. The answer drove Stone Cold crazy.  Austin was right in sending her home; she has no sense of wrestling history.  There are so many unforgettable matches in Pro-wrestling history, and Ariane named Melina vs. Alicia Fox. This is the fourth season of Tough Enough. I understand that a version of Tough Enough was also aired on SmackDown, but it wasn’t the same format. Tough Enough will air on Monday nights on the USA Network at 8pm.

The MIz

WrestleMania is a couple of hours away and the match everyone’s talking about, for all the wrong reasons, is the WWE title match.  The verbal feud between The Rock & John Cena is over shadowing the fact that WWE champion The Miz will be in the main event at WrestleMania 27. The Miz has been over looked and is being used more like a prop or a third wheel in the main event at WrestleMania. We all must agree that his in-ring performance and his mic work have improved over the course of three years. This man fought his way to the top of WWE ranks and he is still not viewed as a top performer. He won Money in The Bank ladder match in July 18, 2010, which gave him a contract for a title shot when ever and where ever he chooses.  On November 22, 2010 The Miz cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and defeated Randy Orton, thus becoming the new WWE Champion on Monday night Raw.  

The road that The Miz took to obtain the WWE Championship was long and wearing, he was a cast member on the MTV realty hit series “Real World”.  In 2004 he competed in the “Tough Enough competition”, in which he placed second. The WWE gave him a developmental contract and placed him in their wrestling training companies. He wrestled in Deep South Wrestling (DSW) and Ohio Valley Wresting (OVW), in which he had great success. He became the Deep South Heavyweight Champion and held the OVW Tag Team Championship. The Miz joined SmackDown in early 2006, later was drafted to ECW where he won the WWE Tag Team titles with John Morrison. The Miz and Morrison also won the World Tag Team Championship.  He was drafted to Raw mid 2009, where he won his first single title, by defeating the United States Champion Kofi Kingston live on Raw. The Miz held the United States Championship on two different occasions. He later teamed up with The Big Show and became part of the Unified Tag Team Champions by defeating DX (Shawn Michael s & Triple H),while also holding the US title at the sometime.

The Miz future is bright, but there will be many questions to answer after this WrestleMania. If he wins who will be his next opponent? Is there another young wrestler ready to become the top WWE superstar?  Or if he loses, will he start all over at the bottom of the WWE rankings?  We have seen this happen before, most recently with former World Champion Jack Swagger, whom I thought was going to be a great superstar. Never the less we should recognize that The Miz is on top of the WWE universe…. He is Awesomeeeeee!.

WrestleMania 27 Press conference

Hello again wrestling fan, my brother and I spent our day on an enormous line in order to enter The WrestleMania 27 Press conference. This was my first experience at an event like this, let me start of by saying it was a cold New York day. My brother made it onto line at about 8am, I made it a short time after that, and there were about 50 people in front of us. We know an employee of The Hard Rock Café, which told us there were about 25 people that camped out since 2am, to be ahead of the line. The entire event was perfectly organized, they gave us wrist bands and they separated the lines into three different groups. The energy of the crowd was huge; many fans came out dress as their favorite characters. They chanted for their favorite wrestlers, for their favorite shipping company, basically they chanted for everyone and everything. What stood out to me was the interaction between Cena’s fans & The Rock’s fans and how passionately they showed their support. There were three John Cena haters which brought a box of Fruity Pebbles, and chanted Fruity Pebbles all day long.

Finally the WWE Superstars started to arrive via limos and SUVs. This is when the crowd became rowdy; the first participant to arrive was Snooki.  The second person to arrive was Michael Cole, followed by The Game Triple H who was accompanied by his wife Stephanie McMahon. The King of Kings took the time to wave at the crowd. The Miz came out of his SUV, the fans started to chant AWESOME, AWESOME, and AWESOME. Edge and Alberto del Rio made their appearance thereafter. A surprise guest came out of a stretch limo it was Vince McMahon.  The last two superstars to make their appearance were John Cena and The Rock, the first one to appear was Cena. As Cena exits out of the car the fans started to chant Fruity Pebbles, one of the fans tossed a hand full of Fruity Pebbles towards John Cena. He looked extremely pissed off, as made his way into the building. Finally The Rock makes his appearance in New York City; the fans went crazy, and the Rocky chants started. The Rock waved towards the crowd, electrifying the hundreds and hundreds of The Rock fans that were in attendance.

During the press conference Snooki forgot who her male partner was, John Morrison. Also the WWE Universe didn’t want to hear from John Cena, The crowd was chanting everything you can imagine. Overall it was fun, but sadly I didn’t get any memorabilia signed today.

SnookiMania

SnookiMania? SnookiMania? Why? What did the true WWE Universe do to deserve such horror? Calling it that name is a disgrace to wrestling and definitely the WWE Universe. At WrestleMania 27, Vickie Guerrero will accompany Dolph Ziggler and Lay Cool on their match against John Morrison, Trish Stratus and Snooki. Will the match be any good? I think John Morrison, Dolph Ziggler and the WWE Divas will hold their own, while Snooki sneaks a few shots in. Of course, it is a no-brainer that Snooki pins whomever, thus winning the match. Personally, I think it's a useless match but Snooki at WrestleMania means $$$$$. So congratulations WWE.

Knockouts vs Divas & Snooki

I really enjoyed the TNA Knockouts match, between Mickie James and Tara. Tara used a Boston Crab to setup her finisher, but Mickie James ended the match, with a Tornado DDT. It was exciting; they actually use wrestling maneuvers, unlike the WWE Divas. This brings me to talk about Snooki from The Jersey Shore being used as a competitor in WrestleMania 27, how did this happen? Is she really going to enter the ring with Trish Stratus & John Morrison vs. Dolph Ziggler & Lay-Cool? Wow, I really don’t understand why the WWE is using Snooki for a match. This makes me stop and think about the Hall of Fame inductee Drew Carey, and everything starts to make sense. The WWE is attempting to attract new fans while neglecting the true Wrestling supporters, by using non wrestlers at WrestleMania.
