Years ago WWF had a boxing tournament called "Brawl for all". Yep, wrestlers boxing. Now at that time, boxing was still huge. With stars like Holyfield, Holmes, Mosely, Tyson, and Foreman. I was a huge boxing fan at the time. So it didn't bother me, that some wrestlers would try to box and it was something different. Better than everyone standing around and talking too much. Anyway at the end of the tournament the "winner" would have a chance to face Butterbean at WM 15. That lucky guy was Bart Gunn, the "brother" of bad ass Billy Gunn. During the tournament Bart looked...ok. But he was still an amateur boxer. An amateur boxer vs. a professional boxer....yea. Bart lasted maybe a minute and a half until he got knocked out. And when I say knocked out. I mean he got knocked the "F" OUT.

NTWA: Bret Hart vs. Shawn Micheals Ironman match
When was the last time you saw a 60 minute ironman match?? It's been awhile for me. I've seen a few matches go to there time limit (30-40 min) in the past couple of years. But those weren't ironman matches.
I had never heard of an ironman match before WM 12. But the rules are simple enough. The one with the most pinfalls/submissions at the end of the match wins. Like I said simple. Besides being one of, if not the first ironman match in WM history. Both men displayed their athletism on the biggest stage of them all. As a result we got an awesome match. And hopefully one day soon we will see a 60 min ironman match again.

Wrestling Obscurity: Johnny Curtis promos
Johnny Curtis has not faded into obscurity...yet. He does have a match against Jericho at WM this year. But now he goes by the name of Fandango. THAT's a topic for another day. But I do think that alot of people have forgotten Johnny's promos. Which were some of the worst, corniest, stupidiest promos ever. I think that was supposed to be the point. But the joke was lost on me. It could have been entertaining, but honestly I was confused. I did enjoy the irony, but irony isn't always funny or entertaining. Example, one promo involved dear Johnny picking 2 out of 3 condements. He chose kethcup and mayo. But not mustard, becuase mustard doesn't cut it. Get it? It's a play on words. hahaha.....what the hell? Another promo Johnny boy poored (spilled) milk over his head, but he didn't cry. A "Don't cry over spilled milk" gag. Once again not funny, just strange. Thankfully Johnny has moved on to...FAN-DAN-GO. Which is better....I think? But not by much.

Petey Williams is back
I haven't looked to see if Petey will stick around TNA or this is a temporary thing. But THANK GOD he is back. The X division needed him badly. Tonight's 3 way match should be a good one. I don't think it'll be great, just because it's on Impact and not a PPV. But it would be a pleasant surprise if I am wrong. I hope that I am. No matter what, welcome back Petey is back.
Terri's Wrestlemania Predictions
It's Wrestlemania week which besides Christmas is probably one of my favorite times of year!
Since who I WANT to win is not always who I predict will win, I will list both:
Rock v Cena
I am really still mad that he is champ. Seriously? You wrestle 3 times a year and they hand you the belt on a silver platter. Not ok.
Want-Cena Predict-Rock
Undertaker v Punk
WWE took it way too far with the ashes bit on RAW. Just had to point that out!
Want-Taker Predict-Taker
HHH v Lesnar
Now I'm confused as to whether HHH's career as a wrestler is on the line or his career with WWE period is on the line because that would change my prediction.
Want-HHH
Predict if just in ring career-Lesnar
Predict is entire career-HHH
Del Rio v Swagger
How Swagger has a title shot at WM after being away forever I don't understand.
Want-Del Rio Predict-Del Rio
Shield v Orton, Sheamus and Show
Why they keep making the Shield be this unstoppable force I don't understand. They didn't let Nexus win this much and they had more members.
Want-Orton, Sheamus, Show Predict-Shield (Show will turn)
Barret v Miz
Why the Intercontinental belt is on the pre-show but Fandango gets to wrestle on Mania I don't get.
Want-Miz Predicet-Barret
Ryback v Henry
Want-Ryback Predict-Ryback
Team Hell No v Ziggler/Langston
Want-Hell No Predict-Zig/Lang (with AJ assist)
Jericho v Fandango
Want-Jericho Predict-Jericho
Tons of Funk v Rhodes Scholars
I predict this will be the shortest match.

NTWA: Triple HHH entrance Wrestlemania 22
One of the best entrances in WM history. Debut of a new song(at that time), a big throne, a barbaric outfit, complete with a crown. What more could you ask for? It was an entrance that was unique and specific to the character of Triple HHH aka The king of kings. And it was awesome!!!

NTWA: Wrestlemania X7
It's Wrestlemania week!! And because it is Wrestlemania week, I've decided to look back at some of the awesome moments of past Wrestlemanias. There are so many. Ummm I think I will start with Wrestlemania X7(17). When Edge jumped off the top of the ladder and speared Jeff Hardy who was suspended high above the ring. Yea, that was awesome!!!
