The Rock gave one of the longest promo ever; it was
actually 24 minutes long. I edited the video down to 3 minutes, and I highlighted
certain comments that made me laugh I hope you guys enjoy it.

John Cena's Come Back For The Rock
Last night The Rock
made his return to Raw, he began to cut one of the longest promo that I have
ever heard. It was about 11:00 pm when he finally graced us with his presence,
and he began rambling on & on about what was trending worldwide, who gives
a flying fuck. Don't get me wrong I am a
huge Rock fan and I know for a fact he is going to carry the entire match at
WrestleMania 28, but I was expecting a lot more, from him. Maybe my expectations
were a bit high, for a guy who has been out of the wrestling business for over
seven years. But he is, The Rock, "The People's
Champion", “The Great One”, "The Most
Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment", so he says. Finally John Cena
comes in, and I hate to say this, he saved the segment. Cena went in hard on
the Rock. He called him out on writing notes on his wrists for this promo, how
great was that? Then he left the Rock mumbling
in the middle of the squared circle. You can chalk up another win in the war of
words for Cena. The week before, Cena, called The Rock a “Champion with people”
and told the crowd that only “reason he came back in the first place was to
promote Fast Five and launch his Twitter account”. The Rock sounds like he is slipping,
he better kick it into high gear, because Cena is killing him on the mic.

Extreme Reunion
ECW,ECW, ECW, those are
the words that a crowed full of energy chanted, while the new genre of
wrestling was on displayed in a squared circle at the ECW arena, in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. Now “The Franchise” Shane Douglas proclaims that the age of “PG”
will be over and that there will be a “rebirth of Hardcore” on April 28, 2012. The show is called Extreme Reunion, and yes we
will see the original roster from the early 90’s, but Douglas wants to make everyone
aware that there will also be younger talent that will be in the spotlight on
that night. Douglas states that there “mindset is to re-launch the brand”,
because it will benefit the industry. During
an interview I heard on Wrestling Epicenter, Douglas called the attempts made by
WWE and TNA, to give the fans the ECW style were “poor piss” version. He was
very vocal on the fact that TNA didn’t pay the ECW originals proper wages to compete
during that storyline. After Douglas
rejected the offer that TNA gave him, he came back with a counteroffer that he
will work for free if they made a donation to Wounded Warriors and they gave
him “Dick Flair”, in the main event of the PPV, obviously this never happened. On a
personal note I can wait to see, what “The Franchise” can come up with, and wish
him the best in this venture.

Picture of the Week (February 25, 2012)
Santino Marella had two
opportunities to wrestle the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan. The
outcome of the matches didn’t favor him at all, but it gave him the chance to
be in a main event of a PPV and wrestle on live television. The fact is he
wrestled a different style that he is used too. There was very little comedy
during the match which allowed him to show off his wrestling talent. This is
the main reason he is in the Picture of the Week.

Ron Simmons
Hello wrestling fans.
The WWE Hall of Fame is a big part of the Road to WrestleMania, and I always,
always, always look forward to seeing it. I personally love when they start
name-dropping in their speeches. I just have this fascination with superstars
"breaking kayfabe", meaning they're speaking out-of-character. That
is why I love watching the biography DVD’s. Anyways, this past Monday on Raw
Super Show, they announced the latest inductee, Ron Simmons. I became so happy.
After his brief career in the NFL, he began his wrestling career in NWA as part
of the tag team, Doom with Butch Reed and managed by Teddy Long. He then began
his solo career, beating Vader and becoming the first African-American World
Champion for WCW. In 1996, he became Faarooq Asad in the WWE, managed by Sunny.
Later, he started the faction, The Nation of Domination. Members include guys
like Crush, Savio Vega, Mark Henry, D-Lo Brown, Owen Hart and of course The
Rock, just to name a few. The Acolytes Protection Agency (A.P.A.) with Bradshaw
(JBL) was such a great tag team. Their office was in a corner backstage with
just a single door with no walls. They were always seen playing poker and
smoking cigars, but when they got hired for protection, they raised hell. In
2004, he retired having accomplished many achievements, including WCW World,
United States and Tag Team championships, and a three time WWE Tag Team
champion with Bradshaw. I just want to add, when I met Ron Simmons, I told him
how I grew up watching him ever since WCW. I mentioned how I remember going
crazy when he won the World Heavyweight title and becoming the first
African-American World Champion for WCW. He was so thankful and such a great
guy. I’m super excited and happy to see his induction to the Hall of Fame this
year. One more thing.......... DAMN!!
