NTWA: Miz Wrestlemania 27 promo

Not long ago the Miz was one of the most hated wrestlers in WWE. Of course that was true when he was champion and headlined WM 27 against John Cena. Most remember that WM, it was the one the Rock hosted....and probably not the best WM in history, but not the worst either. But I'm not posting this to talk about WM or the Rock(ugh). I want to talk about one of the best promos in Wrestlemania. At the time, Miz threw his suceccs in the faces of all the doubters or haters if you will. Whenever he got a chance to,and seeing he had plenty of mic time, that was pretty much every week. So if a guy like the Miz is going to go into WM 27. What would be the best song to go with his promo...? How about "Hate me now" by Nas feat P. Diddy. Perfect!!! No other song would work, no other song COULD work. It is almost as if Nas wrote the song just for the Miz. I know that is not the case, but the song is a great reflection of Miz's career. Minus a few lyrics.

Man shot in the eye, not the worst thing that happend to him this week.

If you think you had a bad week. This poor guy got shot in the eye during a robbery at his liquor store. He got shot, robbed and may lose vision in his eye, but that wasn't the worst part of his week. No Sir. Check it out.

New WWE Champion

So....ummm yea that just happened. The Rock is the new WWE champ....I'm so upset right now. I had to write something in order to sleep tonight.  Obviously they are setting up for Rock/Cena II for WM. Which is wild because the first match wasn't that great. It was good, but not great. Even with the belt on the line, how much better could it be?
434 days over just like that. I'm not that big of a CM Punk fan, but still. He had to drop the belt to a guy who works 30days out of the past 10 years. While Punk, Cena, Ziggler etc. have worked days, weeks and months for the past 10 years to get to where they are now. Not saying that Rock didn't put his time in, but so did HHH, Mick Foley, Bret Hart, and Stone Cold. Do they get a title shot?? Of course not. But Rock gets to be champion...makes sense to me (sarcasm).
Not sure I wanna see either TNA or WWE right now. I need to sleep on it, hopefully I'll be less pissed off by the time RAW comes on. Then I'll turn on RAW and get pissed off all over again....oh it's a vicious cycle.  Where's my glass?!? The TALL one. Yep it's time for a drink.  Cheers.

Terri's Thoughts on the Rumble

The Royal Rumble is my favorite pay per view of the entire year. Yes, even moreso than Wrestlemania. I love the Mania fanfare but the Rumble has a certain mystique that I just love. It's always cool to see who returns or comes out of retirement or whatever. I mean obviously thats not gonna be your Rumble winner per se but it is exciting. Example? When Diesel returned. Yes, I knew there was no way he was gonna when it but it was good to see him (especially face) AND the pop from the crowd was A-MA-ZING!

Of course they have the usual 6 throw away spots of people who even in a shocker wouldn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning but they are always there anyway. Example? Any diva, anyone over 40 and any super low midcard like say Yoshi. Oh and there is bound to be someone from the commentators desk to rise up around number 16 or so.

WWE writing hasn't been the best lately. I feel like they hired some discarded TNA writers or something. (But yes I watch both companies.) But it would be super awesome if they pulled an Austin Aries, meaning pushing a mid-card guy to the top in an unexpected victory. My vote would be Kofi. LOVE HIM!!

Now for the CM Punk v Rock match....................total shenanigans. I dislike both of them (well right now....I've liked them both in the past but I dislike them both now for differing reasons) but I'd be disappointed if Punk dropped a belt he's had literally over 400 days to a person who literally has come to work for less than 30 days. I still don't even think it makes sense for the Rock to even have a title match. Headlining last Wrestlemania was annoying enough. I think it's a slap in the face to the ones who travel 300 days a year city to city entertaining the fans and putting their bodies on the line. I wish I could hear what the guys in the back REALLY felt about that. I bet it would be just as I feel.

One more thing about the Rock.........................you can truly tell who the true fans of the business are when this topic comes up. Yes, I was a big Rock fan in the Attitude Era as well but come on people. If your primary reason for wanting the Rock to main event a pay-per-view is because you think he is sexy..........you need a cold shower and a mate, not to be commenting on wrestling. SMH.

My prediction to win the Rumble match is John Cena. He had a crappy 2012 so he is due for something big. Close but no cigar will probably be Randy Orton. Kofi is sure to make a good showing with a few high flying stunts which I am looking forward to.

One last thing, I HATE the Shield angle. Between them and Aces and Eights in TNA they give factions a bad name. How is jumping anyone a justice when you are about injustice? #makesnosense. If they interfere in the Rumble match, I'll be throwing my fuzzy sock at the screen.

Thanks for reading! Happy Rumble Day!

WWE Royal Rumble Predictions

It's prediction time for this year's Royal Rumble PPV. Not a bad card, hopefully a title will change hands...maybe tag team...just throwing that out there. Like last year I will give my top 5 of who I think will win the Royal Rumble. I honestly don't have a clue who will win. It would be funny if Rock loses to Punk but enters the Rumble and wins lol. That could never happen...right?? I tell you this if that did happen. The wife is liable to break the TV or the couch; she's not a fan of the Rock...at all!!
Anyway, time for my predictions:

Cesaro def. The Miz

Team Hell No def. Rhode Scholars

Alberto del Rio def Big Show  (not sure how, but that's my pick)

CM Punk def. The Rock (again no idea how)

Royal Rumble winner
1) Randy Orton
2) John Cena
3) The Miz
4) Daniel Bryan
5) Dolph Ziggler (I seriously ran out of options and couldn't think of anyone else)

Could The Rock win the WWE Championship

The Royal Rumble is upon us once again. This PPV could set the tone for 2013. Imagine if you will. The Rock winning the WWE Championship....then what?!?! Is he going to come back...? Take the belt with him to all the movie premieres he has in this year!?!?! That would give WWE more publicity. I guess all that is possible, but I don't think it will happen. Of course stranger things have happened in the WWE. Anyone remember RAW's New Year's Eve episode or Christmas eve episode? I think I've made my point.

Wrestling Obscuirty: Rock bottom to Mick Foley

On Raw Mick Foley and the Rock exchanged words. Kind words of course, but the Rock said that no one remembers when he rock bottomed Mick Foley last year. I disagree. I remember. It was during "This is your life John Cena" hosted by Mick Foley.  A segment that wasn't all that good, but the Rock "fixed" that.
