The Worst of 2012

I know it is almost March of 2013, but I had to post what alot of people believed was the worst storyline of 2012. I don't disagree with the choice at all. And the reason the storyline ended so quickly is funny as hell...to me anyway.

WWE Elimination Chamber

I know that it has been awhile since the last post. Been trying to figure out why the Elimination Chamber PPV is the way it is. My brain can't get around the idea that there is 1 chamber match and it's not for a title?!?! Why not have the World Heavyweight championship up for grabs in a chamber match? It seems like an odd card. I am glad that there are title matches, but I don't think any of them will change hands. Especially the WWE title. I mean the PPV is sponsored in part by GI Joe. And who is starring in that movie? Yep, The Rock...as if you didn't know.  There is NO way that the Rock will lose the match....unfortunately.
I think the PPV will be average at best, but I have been wrong before, something unsuspected might happen. One can only  hope.

Wrestling Obscurity: The Soaring Eagle

Last time on SmackDown, Jack Swagger came back from a 6month hiatus with a new look, new attitude, same lisp. Don't know if he is still the "All American American" or is he all about business and getting the job done. Time will tell. But not too long ago. The all American had a "partner." Well a mascot; in the form of the soaring eagle. Because what is more American than an eagle or a guy dressed up like an eagle. Who would accompany Mr. Swagger down to the ring, and would act like, well a mascot and that's pretty much it. I think the eagle helped Swagger win a couple of matches. He, the eagle, may have had a match or two...I hope that's not true but I think it is.
The eagle was harmless enough...I guess. It was stupid but harmless.  But a particular superstar(Edge) had enough of stupid things in the WWE and decided to take out the Soaring Eagle.

NTWA: Punk makes fun of John laurinaitis

You remeber Johnny Laurinaitis?? I should put him in Wrestling Obscruity along with Mike Adamle (ugh). Anyway, when Punk was face and "anti-estabilishment"  he would often bump heads with  big Johnny who was intrem RAW GM.  On one monday night, Mr. Punk decided to poke fun at Johnny's wrestling carrerr with a little promo. I personally thought the promo was awesome for many reasons but the main reason is because of the song they picked out for the piece. I recognized the song and I'm sure a few others did as well. It's from a certain 1986 movie's soundtrack.  I don't know who decided to use that particular song, but that was an awesome decision.

Top 9 entrance music

There are many aspects to a wrestling character. Mic skills, wrestling ability, signature moves, finishers, catch phrases, costumes, managers, overall persona. And of course, the entrance music or theme. Some have been iconic and some very forgetful.  But which are the best? And I don't mean the best as far as getting the audience excited before the match starts and everyone stands to their feet. No I mean the entrance that is so good, you want to listen to it on your iPod, iPad, or in your car!! And being a fan myself(as if you didn't know) I have downloaded a few entrance themes. So here's a list of what I consider to be the best entrance themes.
