This Week in Wrestling (April 29, 2012)

Edge was on Raw this past Monday night, and he wanted to see the real John Cena. Edge called out Cena on being a big old softy and that the real Cena was the man that put him throw three tables of a ladder. It was funny how Edge, just let the entire world know that his contract was expiring at the end of this month, hoping to gather some support from the fans in order to get a better contract, he truly is “The Ultimate Opportunist”

Divas Picture of the Week (February 2, 2012)

You guys asked for her, here she is! Rosa Mendes, the newest and hottest Diva in the WWE. Rosa is half Puerto Rican & Costa Rican, wow what a mix. We have seen her as the valet of the newly crown Tag Team Champions Primo & Epico. Apparently she enjoys dancing, because we have seen her shake her hips all around the ring.

The Future of the WWE is Now!!

Hello wrestling fans. A few weeks ago, I was asked by my good friend and follower of The Wrestling Fans Review, Sheena, what were my predictions for the future of the WWE? The New Year is almost here and after seeing the picture of all the new champions, I couldn't help but be inspired to talk a little bit about the young talented Superstars of the WWE.

Divas Champion, The Glamazon Beth Phoenix

Let’s be honest, the WWE Divas are Barbie’s. The Divas of Doom, Beth and Natalya are the only two actual female wrestlers in the WWE. Everyone else, I’m sad to say, are more "eye candy" than they are "in-ring performers." I haven’t actual sat and watched a Divas match, since the Divas wrestled in thongs and had occasional "nip slips." So I believe Beth Phoenix is a great Divas Champ.

Tag Team Champions, Air Boom

I actually like Air Boom. I honestly believe the match they had with Primo and Epico on WWE TLC was a perfect example of a great tag team wrestling match. Maybe even the best match of the night, in my opinion. I’m assuming they didn’t know what to do with Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne (aka Matt Sydal), and decided to put them together as a tag team. But they do have great chemistry, agility and their "high flying" styles go well together.

I like Primo and Epico. They’re cousins, so they have great chemistry as well. Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler are good too, but I see other plans for Dolph. The Usos have great chemistry too, since they’re twin brothers. They also are keeping that Samoan legacy alive. I honestly hope they bring back more tag teams.

U.S. Champion, Zack Ryder

We all know charisma is a huge factor in becoming a top superstar in the WWE. Zack Ryder has a whole lot of charisma. I’m glad he's the U.S. Champ. His "Z, True Long Island Story" show is not only hilarious, it also lets some of the guys show their skills, cutting promos.

#Heel, the Showoff, Dolph Ziggler cuts amazing promos and I believe is definitely a potential for a spot as a top heel. I've said it before, I see him as the new Shawn Michaels when HBK first started as a heel. HBK was cocky and had his "cougar" valet, Sensational Sherri. Dolph has Vickie Guerrero and is coined, "The Showoff." Plus, they both sell for their opponents so well. I also believe Wade Barrett has potential to be a top heel. His rivalry with Randy Orton is pushing him to a higher level. Jack Swagger could be better but I don’t know why he's being held back. Sheamus is good too, but I don’t know if him being a baby face will help his career.

Intercontinental Champion, Cody Rhodes

Ever since Cody Rhodes was with Legacy, he was always my favorite. The simple fact that he wrestles without kneepads shows his "old school" trained abilities. He's the son of The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes. He has big shoes to fill and I believe he's making a name for himself. And I love, love, love that Cody brought back my favorite championship title design. The one, that the greatest of all time, the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels made famous, the white classic IC belt. Cody has what it takes to be great.

World Champion, Daniel Bryan (aka the American Dragon, Bryan Danielson)

My earliest memory of Daniel Bryan is from Ring of Honor and other Indy shows. His hard work really paid off. The kids love him because he's such a "white meat baby face" but he still has the respect of the hardcore wrestling fans because he's such a great wrestler. I’m so glad to see him as the new World Champion.

The Miz is another guy who gets held back. If you notice, The Miz is like the new Rock. The Miz, The Rock. The Miz is wonderful on the mic, delivers catchphrases, and also idealized The Rock. He's good but can be better, and live up to being the most "must-see" superstar in the WWE. Alberto Del Rio has charisma as well. But I must admit, his promos have gotten very repetitive and can be crucial to his career.

WWE Champion, CM Punk

I see CM Punk as the new Macho Man Randy Savage. Kind of an "anti-hero," more like Randy Savage than Stone Cold Steve Austin. Having that "anti-hero/rebel" role makes him loved by the hardcore wrestling fans. Not to mention, the fact that we've followed his TNA, Ring of Honor, and Indy career. His famous "shoot" promo, shot him straight to top superstar status. I only wonder if the WWE office would accept a tattooed/pierced CM Punk as the "poster-boy" for WWE. Only time will tell.

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

Woo Woo Woo You Know It Bro!

Wow, I consider myself a true wrestling fan and I can’t believe that haven’t notice this guy that has so much charisma, yes bro, I am talking about none other than Zack Ryder. The Woo Woo Woo Kid is a hit on the internet and rightfully so he proclaimed himself the Internet Champion. Why isn’t the WWE getting the picture? The fans want him on TV, but the WWE never gives the fans what they want. Prime example I was excited when John Cena was drafted to SmackDown and then at the end of the night he is drafted back to Raw. There are dozens of sign with his name on it all over Monday night Raw, but Zack Ryder doesn’t get any air time.  Everyone may remember Zack Ryder as part of the Major Brothers, that time is over now we are dealing with a rookie star that is ready to break into main event.  He has held the WWE Tag Team Championship with then partner Curt Hawkins, but now he isn’t even seen on WWE TV. What do we have to do here, should we camp out in front of the WWE headquarters, do we riot, or should we all write nasty emails to the WWE writers? Give this kid a break, I ashore you that he will not disappoint you. Last Monday night in Long Island, New York, Zack Ryder wrestled and gained a victory over his former partner Primo, this match can be viewed on WWE.com.  The writers were scare to use Zack Ryder on Raw that night because the fans will cheer for him rather than the wrestler the writers are pushing. Zack is a native New Yorker so I am cheering for him and when you see his YouTube channel you’ll become an instant broskis, so take care, spike your hair, woo woo woo you know it bro!

The Draft picks for SmackDown

I have a lot on my mind, about the WWE Draft picks, last night on Monday Night Raw. I just want to add, that whenever I have the chance to watch SmackDown, I watch it, but hands down I'm a Raw fan.

Draft picks for Friday Night SmackDown: John Cena, Randy Orton, Mark Henry and Sin Cara.

I personally believe John Cena is the new Hulk Hogan. Instead of "say your prayers" and "taking your vitamins," it's "Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect." The biggest difference is that Hulk Hogan can appeal to fans of all ages and genders and John Cena, of course does not. John Cena's charisma is great but he was better when he was a heel. With that being said, I'm happy he gets drafted into SmackDown where I don’t have to see much of him.

I believe Randy Orton is the new Stone Cold Steve Austin. Instead of "The Rattlesnake" it’s "The Viper." The RKO is a modified Stone Cold Stunner. I can’t deny that he's a good in-ring performer but I just can’t buy into him being a top guy. So I'm extremely happy he's heading to SmackDown.

Mark Henry will always be Mark Henry. I still cannot see him as a top guy. I'm sorry but I can’t. Maybe turning him heel on SmackDown will bring out some charisma.

I'm really disappointed that Sin Cara was drafted into SmackDown. I was excited to see him perform on Raw. My only problem is that he has made a couple of mistakes in his first match against Primo. Maybe they needed him on SmackDown so they'll be able to edit his matches to make him look good and give him the push that they want for him.
