Well the big day has come and gone. For some it was filled with moments of triumph, for others disappointment. Some left happy, others left sad. There was no denying, it was an electrifying, fun-filled, exciting event. So how should I start off? “YES! YES! YES!” or should it be” NO! NO! NO!” At least that is what Daniel Bryan should now be shouting after losing his title to Sheamus in a match which lasted only eighteen seconds; one of the shortest matches in WWE history. I guess he learned the hard way never to turn your back on your opponent. Well AJ was part of the reason he held the title so long and as it happens part of the reason he lost. Bye, Bye, Daniel, no more “YES! YES! YES!” Congratulations to Sheamus for winning the match and becoming the new World Heavy Weight Champion!
In the match between Randy Orton and Kane, Kane really got off to a good start showing dominance over Randy. Randy fought his way back into the match. Although he did seem quite on top of his game, he gave it all he got. However it was just not good enough. He was unable to pull of the RKO. When Kane delivered the powerful throat slam, it was all over for Randy and Kane won the match.
Wrestlemania 28 was a big moment for the Big Show. It also showed that Cody Rhodes is better at mouth talk than he is in the ring. The Big Show was on top of his game from the very beginning, slamming Cody Rhodes all over the ring. Cody regrouped and tried to keep the Big Man off his feet and on the ground. However the Big Show would have none of that. After weeks of being continually jeered, and taunted by Cody, it was time to teach him to have respect and he did just that. He put the icing on the cake by delivering a powerful right hand. Cody went to sleep and the Big Show picked up the win. He is now the new WWE Intercontinental Champion.
The result of the Diva’s Tag Team match was somewhat of a surprise. The team Beth and Ever were undoubtedly the stronger team. Maria was suffering from injuries and that was quite evident from the start of the match. Luck however was on the side of Kelly Kelly and Maria and they won the match, much to the disbelief of Beth and Eve.
“Hell in A Cell” That was exactly what the match between The Undertaker and HHH was. It was simply hell in a cell, one of the bloodiest and hardest fought match of the night. These two men went back and forth, battling it out , taking blows after blows, writhing in pain yet not giving up, not calling it quits. Will the WWE Universe ever experience anything like this again? I doubt it very much if that was the end of an Era as it was said to be. Shawn Michaels at one point was overcome with emotions. These three men are three of the greatest wrestlers the WWE Universe has ever seen. At the end of the match HHH was motionless and the Undertaker could hardly stand. The streak lives on 20-0!
Team Johnny and Team Teddy match got off to a good start. At the beginning of the match Team Johnny was in full control and it seemed like Team Teddy wasn’t going to able to pull it off. Then things turned around Team Teddy got all fired up, bodies were flying all over the place the team seemed on the brink of victory; that was until Eve stepped into the ring and jinxed everything. Zack got distracted, he turned his back and that was all The Miz needed. One, two, three and the match was over, just like that. Team Johnny had won!
Well, well, well, who is the best in the world at what they do? Chris Jericho has made the match leading up to Wrestlemania something of an ugly affair; constantly seeking to smear the characters of members of Punk’s family. At the start of the game Punk was letting Jericho get to his head, which was exactly what Jericho wanted. Punk came close to getting himself dis-qualified, but at the last minute he showed restraint, he regained self-control and went on to get Jericho in a submission hold to which he was forced to tap out off. Well done Punk. You did it on the biggest stage of them all!
The match of the night, the match that was most talked about; that of course was the match between John Cena and The Rock. This was a tough fight. A fight where the chance of either men winning was equal. At the start The Rock dominated Cena somewhat, then Cena reversed the role getting near-falls after near-falls. At one point in the match The Rock was almost unconscious, but the fighter in him refused to call it quits. This was one of the toughest fight Cena has ever fought, he gave it all he got, he just was not able to get that three count. There were basically no looser in this match, however the rock was able to get that three count which technically made him the winner.
Wrestlemania 28
Yes WWE fans it’s wrestlemania time again, just two days before the big event takes place in Miami Florida. This year’s wrestle mania is going to be another interesting and exciting one. Most of the matches are something to look forward to. I am going to touch on them in no particular order of how they will appear in wrestle mania.
First up is the match between Daniel Bryan and
Sheamus for the World Heavyweight Championship. To be honest Bryan has held the title much longer than many of us expected him to. Part of the reason is the way he is able to weasel himself out of certain situations, sometimes putting his girlfriend AJ in harm’s way, not that she seems to mind.
Come Sunday Bryan is going to do one of two things; defend his title like a man or get AJ to interfere in some way or the other so he can retain the title. I think Sheamus is going to come prepared and for this match I give Sheamus a win over Bryan.
Randy Orton VS Kane
This is a match that can go either way. Both of these men are tough competitors and are evenly matched. Neither will want to lose to the other. They are two of the most dominant forces in the WWE. Will Randy be able to win against the Big Red Monster? If he is able to pull off a RKO he will. This is going to be a tough one but I am going to give Randy the edge over Kane.
Big Show VS Cody Rhodes
While this is not one of the great matches of wrestle mania 28 it might turn out to be an interesting one as The Big Show has a score to settle with Cody Rhodes. For weeks now Rhodes has been a thorn in the Big Show side. He has been constantly mocking the Big Show, pointing out his weaknesses, trying to humiliate him.
A win over Cody Rhodes would no doubt be a boost for the big man, who has not been doing that great for a while now. Winning the Intercontinental Championship might just be what Big Show needs to get him back on track. If he is able to stay on his feet he should win this one. I predict a win for The Big Show.
Kelly Kelly & Maria Menounos VS Beth Phoenix & Eve
In this diva’s tag team match competitors on both team are evenly talented. However Beth Phoenix is usually very dominant in these matches and Eve Torres seems to have gained a lot of confidence lately. I pick the team of Eve and Beth to win.
Team Teddy VS Team Johnny
This such be an exciting match. Teddy’s team consist of Santino Marella (captain), R-Truth, Kofi Kingston, Zack Ryder, The Great Khali and Booker T. Johnny’s team: David Otunga (captain), Mark Henry, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, The Miz and Drew McIntyre, who replaced Christian after he suffered some injuries at the hands C M Punk.
Tension has been running high for weeks now between Theodore Long and John Laurinaitis as each seek to become General Manager of both Raw and Smackdown. The outcome of this match might surprise us all but I think team Johnny is going to win this one.
The Undertaker VS Tripple H
Once again the Undertaker and Tripple H will battle it out to see whether or not Tripple H can beat the Dead Man and end the streak. The question is does Tripple H really want to end the streak? Maybe not, but he no doubt wants to be the man to beat the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. For this match I am picking Tripple H to win.
C M Punk VS Chris Jericho
This match is a must see. The tension between Punk and Jericho is now at a boiling point with Jericho making personal attacks on the integrity of Punk’s family members. This is typical Jericho, he will stop at nothing to win a fight; whether it be trying to blind his opponent or making verbal attacks to gain psychological advantage. When he says he is the best in the world at what he does, he is speaking the truth. But does this make him the better fighter? I am predicting that Punk will win this one.
The Rock VS Cena
This match will be the main event at Wrestlemania 28. This is the match that everyone can’t wait to see. After all the talk for the past couple of weeks the two will finally be in action. Both men are going to give it all they’ve got. But I believe Cena is going to win this one.
Anonymous Encouragement Poem:
~ Abraham Lincoln
There has been a lot of talk since Travyon Martin was killed a month ago; yet despite the talk and the walks and the cries for his arrest, Zimmerman remains a free man. This case is now filled with so much drama that it is not even easy to establish the truth of what really did in fact take place that night. Let us therefore start with the facts that we do know; Travyon Martin was shot dead, George Zimmerman was the one who pulled the trigger to that gun when ended his life. George Zimmerman said he acted in self-defense but shouldn’t this be a case for him to prove in court? If he did act in self-defense he has nothing to worry about, he will walk out a free man or but then I forgot as far as the police are concerned Zimmerman does not have to answer to anyone, he said he acted in self-defense and his word is gospel.
A lot of the stories coming out of this incident seems to be fabricated and doesn’t really make any sense. One of Zimmerman’s friend claimed he was badly hurt that night and went to the doctor the next day to be treated for a broken nose. Strangely enough there are no photos or videos of Zimmerman looking as if he had been hurt at all. I am sure if that did in fact happen Zimmerman and his broken nose would have been plastered all over the media. There are no pictures, because it never happened. There is no evidence to support his claim of self-defense. So why are the police so reluctant to make an arrest even now after all the protests and outcries? It as if they are saying it’s no big deal that’s just one less black youth that we have to deal with. I don’t want to appear racist but I can’t help wondering, if Zimmerman was black Trayvon white, would the situation have been handled in the same manner?
What is also truly mind-boggling is how when a person commits a crime he suddenly becomes the victim. Quoting from reports of what one of Zimmerman’s friend ”He hasn’t been to his apartment since that happened and he’s been treated for post-traumatic stress disorder, for depression, for insomnia” end quote. Well big deal, the fact is Zimmerman is alive and will continue to go on living his life. Trayvon Martin is dead, his life was unnecessarily cut short, for him there is no tomorrow. For those Zimmerman’s sympathizers I want you to ask yourselves this question, would if it was my son, or brother, or close relative, or friend that was killed would I still feel the same? Be true to yourselves and answer the question truthfully.
In ending I just want to say a life is a life. You shouldn’t have to put a color to it in order to get justice!
Cast not the first stone, my friend,
When someone goes astray;
When a brother slips and falls,
Lift him up, instead and pray.
Pass not along the sordid news
Of someone’s sin displayed;
Lift him up and help him stand
Because for him you’ve prayed.
A life can be lost in a flash, in the blinking of an eye. The painful thing is once it is lost it cannot be replaced. Too many people seem to have the feeling that it is okay to shoot first and ask questions later. People have lost their lives for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or for just not having the right look in someone else’ s eyes.
Trayvon Martin lost his life simply for not having the right look in the eyes of George Zimmerman. He was a black man wearing a hoodie. That in Zimmerman’s mind made him a criminal and he took it upon himself to play the role of judge, jury and executioner. He claimed he acted in self-defense but let us get the facts straight. He was armed, Trayvon Martin was unharmed. The young man did not attack him; in fact he was trying to get away from him. So in what way was Zimmerman’s life in any danger and therefore needed to defend himself?
This was clearly not a case of self-defense. So why has he not been arrested? What kind of message is sending to others who feel it is okay to shoot a young black man simply because of the clothes he is wearing? Will there ever come a time when there will be justice and equality for one and all despite the color of one’s skin? It somehow seems as if it is going to take a miracle for this to happen.
We all have those days when nothing seem to go right no matter how hard we try. Sometimes when problems come they all seem to come at once. We sometimes get so pre-occupied stressing over our own problems that we fail to realize there are people far worse off than ourselves. At times when we take the time to reflect our problems might be minor compared to others. Our problem could be the loss of a job, the breakup of a relationship, children giving problem or an inconsiderate neighbor. Although it might not be easy, these are problems that can be solved. Just think about the person who has just lost his or her mother, father, an only child, or a close family member? What can you say to that person to make the pain go away. Is there anything that anyone can do to fill the void that is left? Death is so final, there is no tomorrow, no second chance to do things differently. Therefore we must give thanks for life even if it may be filled with problems for at the end of the day it is the most important thing that we have. Everything else takes second place.
