Pro Wrestling

John Morrison's 2011 Royal Rumble spot was cool. Not to be outdone, Kofi Kingston did an equally impressive spot to avoid elimination at this years rumble.

The Rumble has always been my favorite event in wrestling, so even though I don't follow wrestling super close any more I still try to catch the Rumble. That being said I wish I hadn't bothered this year because it stunk.

Ass Man should be a required song for drunken Karaoke night.

I decided to watch last weeks Raw. Why does everyone hate Big Show? I think he's great. I always have. He's a real work horse for the company and puts everyone over when he's asked to.

He does comedy and menace well

Great to see the DX Army return. Thought it may have been on the cards with Road Dogg on the pay-roll, and relations with X-Pac pretty cordial, but wasn't sure as last I knew Gunn still had problems with the WWE. Even if it is, as expected, a one-night only thing, it worked pretty well, and the crowd went mad!

I hope it's not a full-on turn for CM Punk. Though I would much rather see a Punk - Rock feud for the title, than a Cena - Rock rematch.

Shame the Hardyz are with TNA (or it Matt in rehab? Can't keep up with those two's drug problems), as they would've been great to see for the 1,000 aniversary. Also, was a bit surprised there was no Nash (or was there, only caught the highlights on wwe.com) - he's still under contract I thought.

Watched this as soon as I got home from work this morning. What a show. If only WWE could be this good all the time.

I have thoughts on last night (and last week/WWE things I'd like to see which would keep me
coming back/ things I'd like to see)

First up! Heath Slater! This guy I like and I really hope they do something with him continuing this whole thing. (I especially like how cocky he is despite always being beaten)
1) Keep having him fight legends, get a 'personal coach' in the shape of another legend...or just show him studying tapes, learning in each match until people ACTUALLY want him to win...then don't let him. Have him get closer each time until he manages to pull one out of the bag against a real LEGEND! (I'd love him to upset The Rock the week after he wins the title at RR. That's probably a bit far away though)

2) I like Heath Slater and I don't like the Goldberg 'feed me more man'...I find him dull and his fights pointless foregone conclusions so I want to put them together. The Monster on the winning streak and the cocky guy on a losing streak. I'd run it like Jericho Vs Goldberg back in WCW. I'd have Slater making fun of him, ducking every single fight etc etc make it so we actually look forward to him getting destroyed...actually run these two methods concurrently




DX- This segment went on a little too long if you ask me. It was nice to give a shout out to the past etc It was good they got a new guy involved though.

6-man tag- Was mostly pointless. Ziggler and Jericho I guess is happening and I'm okay with that. They seem to have some good chemistry and I take it Ziggler will go over in order to push him to main event. He seems entertaining in the ring too. I guess Rey and Del Rio is going to happen too, I don't mind them but I'm not bothered. I'd prefer he and the Sin Cara guy to tag (I like tag team titles and matches okay) or feud.

I don't like Brodus Clay, he bores me and his entrance takes too long...but I don't think I'm his target audience. I'd have this Swagger guy booked with AWP & The Prime Time Players, make a bit of a stable.

Bryan Daniel looks like he's going to fight Charlie Sheen...for some reason....make him a monster heel instead. Akin to Kurt Angle in the day, he's the man who takes joy in making you tap.

Why does the Rock have a title shot? Okay I know why but maybe give a story reason? I'd be happy with him fighting CM Punk or Daniels.

The Miz seems a good heel (I don't really know him) even thought I am a massive Christian fan. I imagine there could be some good matches and stories with him as a champ.

Paul Heyman is still me hero. Just give him some wrestlers to manage and a microphone and he's away. I'm happy with this.

Miz isn't my favorite wrestler (far from it), but I like how emotional he gets when he wins titles. You can tell it means a lot to the guy and he cares about his craft.

My guess is he'll hold the title to wrestle mania before dropping it to give someone else the rub

This. Raw 1000 was fascinating to watch. Full of surprises and great trips down memory lane. I was hoping that the point of bringing out Stephanie and taking jabs at her and Triple H kids was to lead to Lesnar coming out with Sable and some sort of married couple confrontation.

Apparently Eric Young has a fishing show on Animal Planet.  Didn't know that, but maybe that's why he was growing the beard -- to look the part.

On another note, some peeps of mine were talking about the WWE Wellness Policy.  So I said, Well, I almost don't want people to pass the Wellness Test. Just because I imagine the way they tell people that they failed is by having Ron Simmons walk out with a lab coat and clipboard and go, "........................................................... DAMN!"

You know dang well that was a joke.
