Wrestlewiththis: Now that was awesome

I had an idea for a new "segment" for the blog. Welcome to "Now that was awesome" Here I'll talk about moves or matches that were...well, awesome. Let's take a look at TNA's PPV Turning Point 2004.
AMW vs. Triple X in a six-side steel cage. The stipulation was the team that lost had to disband and never tag again. Great match with an awesome move from Elix skipper.

Top 9 female wrestlers

I said awhile ago that I was going to make a list of my favorite female wrestlers. Yea that was like last year and I never got around to doing so....until now. The list will be made of female wrestlers that I've seen, so that leaves out May Young or the Fabouls Moolah. No disrespect to them, but I haven't seen them wrestle in a competitive match. We'll put them in very honorable mention cause without them and other female wrestlers from that time period. I wouldn't be able to make this list.

#1. Awesom Kong (Kia Michelle Stevens)
#2. Sara Del Ray (Sara Amato)
#3. Gail Kim (Gail Kim)
#4. Ayako Hamada (Ayako Valentina Hamada Villareal)
#5.Victoria/Tara (Lisa Marie Varon)
#6. Beth Phoniex (Elizabeth Kocianski Carolan)
#7. Lita (Amy Dumas)
#8.Trish Stratus(Patricia Anne Stratigias)
#8.Natyala Neithart(Natalie Neithart)
#9.Taylor Wilde(Shantelle Larissa Malawski)

Wrestling Obscuirty: Big Show rap verse

I found out that AW was released from WWE for making a bad joke about the Kobe Bryant rape case a few weeks ago.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydHOworuwWY

Now I am not defending what AW said. I do feel that he should have been punished in some way, not sure if he should have been fired. Why was he fired? I'm not really sure, supposedly it's because Linda McManhon is trying to run for a political position (again) and AW's comments could be used against Linda's political campaign. I don't know. But I do find it odd (hypocritical)  that AW was fired, but nothing happened to the Big Show when he made a comment about the Kobe Bryant rape. AW said whatever came to his mind, but the Big Show? Hell, Big Show used it in a rap battle with John Cena back in 2003.

TNA story lines

Let me start by saying that TNA puts on some good matches and has some great talent. Plus I really like the BFG series. I say that, because I don't want readers to think that I hate TNA all together. I don't. It has good quatlities and bad qualities. Just like any other company. Now that I've got that out of the way. Let's talk about these storylines. I don't know what there titles are so I'll just make up some.

"AJ, you are not the father" storyline. This story line went on way too long it should have ended @ Destination X PPV. But no it had to go on and on and on. Don't forget, this started with AJ having an affair with Dixie Carter. But he wasn't,  they were both protecting Claire (who?) and she was their secret.  But then, later on Claire sides with the heels(Daniels/Kaz) and proclaims that AJ is the father of her child. So AJ has a paternity test done and the results were supposed to be revealed, but no. Claires' lawyer comes down issues a statement, that she(Claire) was never pregnant and this WHOLE thing was a plan to blackmail and smear AJ's reputation. So if she wasn't pregnant, how did they have results from a paternity test? And when did this plan start? So many plot holes(more like caverns). Thankfully it's over....I think.

"Aces and 8s" storyline. Not really a lot to say about the storyline, because we don't know who they are, what they want, or who their leader is. Last night things got weird. How many members are there? It seemed like they had a small army fighting the TNA roster. I thought there were like 5 members. Where did the rest of the mob come from? Also, they could've been unmasked last night. One guy actually was. Who was he? I have no idea. Is this going to go on until BFG? That's October. I don't want to wait that long for this....big reveal. However it could be good if one of the final 4 members of the BFG series is the leader of Ace's and 8s. And he uses them to win the title. That could work. We'll see what they do.

WWE SummerSlam review

Another SummerSlam has come and gone(sigh), but how was it? Well it defintely started off well with a very good match between Ziggler and Jericho. Then it kinda went downhill. I'm not saying that matches weren't good or entertaining, but I think Ziggler and Jericho set the bar high and it didn't seem that other matches could acheieve that level, except for Miz vs. Rey. That was a very good match also. But I think most of the matches were just good, and maybe not PPV quality. No titles changed hands. That's kind of dissappointing. However the US championship did change hands, but that was on the pre-show....sigh.  Overall I give the PPV a grade of B-

WWE SummerSlam 2012

So it's that time again. Time for some predictions for this years' Summer Slam. It is  7:36pm and the pre show is starting.  I think Antonio will win, but...I don't think it'll happen. So I'll go with Santino to retain.
Miz to retain his IC title against Mysterio
Primetime players will win the tag titles(ugh)
Ziggler def. Jericho
Bryan def. Kane
Lesnar def. HHH
Shemaeus def. Del Rio
Punk def. Big Show and John Cena

Terri's Predections
See above (LOL)

Wrestling Obscurity: Simon Dean

I haven't done a WO in awhile. I must be running out of wrestlers (LOL). Let's talk about Simon Dean for a moment. Surely you remember Simon and his trademark Simon System. Maybe you remember him coming down to the ring on a segway, ok that part you can forget. But Simon's (Mike Bucci) character was mixture of Tony Little and Richard Simons. A fitness trainer who is better than everyone because he works out, takes care of his body and treats it like a temple unlike all the fat, out of shape slobs in the audience or watching on TV. Did that last sentence bore you? I got bored writing it. Maybe that's why the character didn't catch on. He was heel(obviously) but not a very good one, or not a very intresting one.
Before he was in WWE, Bucci was in ECW as Nova(cool name). Bucci has "retired" from pro wrestling, but he has done matches on the indy circuit and TNA.

WWE Best Finishers

WWE is coming out with a DVD that has the top 50 best finishing moves. Ive only glanced at the list. I didn't see any finishing moves that I would consided being on that list ie. Rikishi's Stinkface. But I haven't seen the DVD and I'm sure all of the finishers that you can think of are on the DVD. Now that I think of it. I've been blogging for a little over a year now and I don't think that I've actually made a list of the best finishers. I did a list of the worst finishers in WWE(that was fun) awhile ago. I'll think about it and I'll make my own list of top WWE finishers. And while I'm at it, I think I'll make a list of the best heels as well.

Where are they or where have they been?

After watching WWE the past few months, I realized some people were gone for awhile. With no explanation of what happened to them. So I did some research and found out where people are.
1. Evan Bourne; After 2 suspensions for wellness violation. Bourne was in a car accident, in March were he   suffered a broken foot.
2. Randy Orton; Orton suspended for 60 days for talent wellness violation
3. Mark Henery; Mark had surgery, and recently touted that he hopes to return soon.
4. Great Khali; In July, Khali had surgery to remove a tumor on his pituitary gland.
5. Mason Ryan; On July 24, 2012 it was reported that Mason Ryan requested for time off, but was denied, as he also signed a 3 month contract extension.
6. Rey Mysterio; 8/22/11 Mysterio suffered an in-ring injury at a house show and was expecting to remain out-of-action with an injury inflicted by Alberto Del Rio following a match.  On April 26, 2012, WWE reported that Mysterio had been suspended for 60 days due to his second violation of the company's Talent Wellness Program policy and that his suspension would expire on June 25,2012.
