Pro Wrestling: It's WrestleMania week Part 2

While keeping in mind that "card is subject to change" I'll view the card as it is. I don't think its a weak card but there is no must see match on the show. It's WrestleMania so you would hope for at least one killer must see match. It should be Asuka versus Charlotte but like I said last post, I think Carmella wins the match. That takes away from the one on one match between the Empress and the Queen. It'll be another spectacle WrestleMania but after this show but after this I don't want to see another spectacle WrestleMania next year.

Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan go into their match as the walking wounded. Shane just came out of the hospital Bryan just got back form concussion issues. And don't forget that before Bryan was out with concussion problems he had neck problems. Remember he had weakness in his arm and neck problems. On that note can we please get a ban on the diving headbutt. I know I'm not the only person thinking maybe doing that move every match contributed to Bryans neck and concussion problems. I just saw Lars Sullivan giant self do that in a squash match for some insane reason. After the Benoit tragedy that move should have been banned. That needs to happen now.



Back to the match. So their both coming off long layoffs between matches and their broken. The way the story has been layed out they need to win. Plus all the emotions behind Bryan coming back. The hidden fact that WWE is filming the behind the scenes bits of Bryans story for a future WWE Network special. And you know that this will also be on Total Bellas so not having the happy ending to the storyline would be bad for WrestleMania. And I think if Bryan is going to resign a contract with WWE he's going to need some positive vibes coming his way.


On the flip side I think this will be Shanes last WrestleMania match. I doubt that after this health scare Vince will allow his son to wrestle ever again. That powerbomb spot back stage was stupid. To see all the problems that happened because of that spot is a reminder that Shane is not a young man anymore. He had his run but it's over now. Someday he'll have to take over the company when his father gives him the reins. That can't happen if he's from an infection because he took a move that he had no need to take.


If there ever was a time for change it's now. Vince will likely give Triple H more control over Raw and SmackDown as he gets ready to relaunch the XFL. I'll ask the question no one else is asking, mostly because no one cares. What channel will the XFL be on? I'm sure that it will be a summer league like it was last time. It'd be crushed if it tried to compete with the N.F.L. and College Football in Autumn. There's plenty of questions and logistical issues that he'll have to deal with so that means he'll have to pass on some of his work to others.


I'm wondering if Jeff Jarretts return means me may become the next General Manager of SmackDown. You figure since Bryan can wrestle again his role as G.M. should come to an end. I just realized I should b
uy tickets to Backlash now. The first Pay-Per-View singles match for Daniel Bryan in 3 years will be a thirty ride away from me. I just checked TicketMaster and found out that Money in the Bank will be in Chicago in June. Let the CM Punk rumors begin.


Back to my original point. If Double J becomes SmackDown GM does that open the door to a Dixie Carter appearance? I know she was on Kurt Angles special on the network last year so it's not beyond the realm of possibility. The W.W.E. has been more receptive to former T.N.A. talents so that's something to consider. There's also what they've done with Japanese, Mexican and European talents which has been decent so far. Now throw in Jeff Jarrett into the mix as someone who has worked with international talents on a national television stage at a company level for the past 15 plus years. It's a no brainer to me but it's also wishful thinking on my part.




I did something interesting that you may find, well, interesting. I won't breakdown NXT TakeOver because we all know it'll be fine. I have a few things to say on New Japan Pro Wrestling. Someone finally clued All Japan in on having a online streaming service but honestly who cares. The Young Bucks need to win the I.W.G.P. Heavyweight Tag Team titles before they go to W.W.E. I'm already trying to save money for next years WrestleMania week events. My Christmas, Black Friday, birthday, New Years is already done unless I make $1 Million by the start of next year. I should just start gambling because that probably the only legal way I'll make the money I need. With that said support this blog and my videos. If there wasn't already 1,000 pro wrestling podcasts I'd be tempted to start my own. I might need a side job to pay for all this. Argh! Enjoy.
