Top 5 Summerslam matches.

SUMMERSLAM is rapidly approaching, this time I will be live with my good friend @siteofshite to watch it in the comfort of his conservatory and you can follow us on twitter with the hashtag #DSCSlam, you can also follow me on twitter @bigboss010 too. As re roll into the biggest party of the summer I wanted to have a look back at some of the previous Summerslam PPV events and try to track down my top 5 favourite matches. This was actually harder than I thought it would be, considering its one of the big 4 PPV events of the WWE year there have been some right shite Summerslams and matches to go with them. I have managed to travel through though and have found my personal favourite matches, now these aren’t the “Best” matches so to speak, these are just my personal favourite matches..

My choices and as usual they are in no particular order:

1.       Summerslam 1988

Mega Bucks vs. Mega Powers (Brother) – Tag Team Match

C’mon I had to go with this match, 4 of the biggest names in WWE ever in the main event tag match of the 1^st Summerlsam PPV, we had Miss Elizabeth in the corner of the Mega Powers and then Virgil & Bobby Hennan in the corner of the Mega Bucks, then to throw more into the mix we had Jesse Ventura as the guest referee which added a new level to the match. The coming together of the Mega Powers was fantastic, who thought that Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan could pool their might to fend off the combination of Ted Dibiase and Andre the Giant (Mega Bucks), ok both were short lived teams but were still larger than life. Also to mention the wonderful ref distraction from Miss Elizabeth who ripped her skirt off to distract the ref to give the Mega Powers recovery time to double team Dibiase to get the win and what a sight that was, she was pretty freaking hot!

2.       Summerslam 2013 – The Best vs The Beast (NO DQ match)

CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar (With Paul Heyman)

What a match, it was destined to be a good match, the story had aligned itself brilliantly with Punk’s face turn and Heyman turning on Punk, then bringing back Lesnar to take Punk down. The match itself was very good with both guys getting some great offence in and had a great match, both guys showcasing what makes them so good. This isn’t the last time Lesnar nor Punk will feature in this list either, think this goes to show how good both these guys are. With Heyman’s constant interference Lesnar prevailed here and got a pinfall victory over CM Punk but this match was simply the beginning of the Paul Heyman vs. CM Punk storyline and what a start.

3.       Summerslam 1998 – Ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship

The Rock vs. Triple H

This was the first Summerslam PPV encounter for these two guys and when they were both really picking up steam as the leaders of the two main factions in the company, The Nation of Domination and D-X. Both would also go on to main event PPVs just a year later, rightfully so after giving performances like this match. The IC title has always been viewed as the work horse title; the belt that attracts the good workers and usually delivers some good matches, this match was no exception. Mark Henry and Chyna were at ringside for their respective partners and this only added to the feel of the match because the crowd knew that at some point they would get involved, which of course happens and Chyna’s interference actually allows HHH to climb the ladder to beat the Rock for the IC title.

4.       Summerslam 2011 – WWE title match

John Cena vs. CM Punk

Punk beat Cena just a month before for the title and then quickly “left” the company, this lead to a tournament for the WWE title which Cena sadly ended up defeating the actual winner which was Rey Mysterio on the night he won the title to regain the belt, this then lead to the return of CM Punk to claim his place as the true WWE champion in a similar fashion to HBK with the IC title years earlier. This of course lead to this match, it was a good match, was it better than the match from the previous PPV? No! By no means but it still holds up in comparison as a good match between the two biggest names in the company at that time. Punk of course beat Cena to become the undisuputed champion, only to lose it moments later as Alberto Del Rio cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to get a title shot. The only issue I had with this match was that the build for it was really rushed, Punk walked out with the belt but was back but a few weeks later, they could have easily built this match over months, Punk had been hitting social media pretty hard with his pictures of the belt and had turned up to random shows with it, he could have done this for months before turning back up. I felt this was a good storyline cut short, so Cena could face the Rock at the following years Wrestlemania.

5.       Summerslam 2002 – WWE Undisputed championship match

Brock Lesnar (With Paul Heyman) Vs. The Rock

Without a doubt from of my favourite matches full stop, never mind just Summerslam matches and I feel this deserved to be on this list. Brock was new, he was fresh and he was an epic attraction especially with Heyman as his mouth piece. However The Rock was slowly bowing out to focus more on his acting career and the crowd did not like that, so where The Rock should have been cheered and Lesnar should have been booed, it didn’t go down that way, in fact it was the opposite. Lesnar looked great against the Rock and his victory was well earned and the Rock made Lesnar look great which is to his credit. The build was good with Lesnar winning the King of the Ring to get the title shot and then dominating Hulk Hogan like no one had ever done before to defend his title shot leading into the Summerslam match. The actual match itself was very hard hitting and had some great spots one of my personal favourites being the “Brock Bottom” part of the match which was absolutely awesome. Brock of course became the youngest WWE champion of all time by winning this match after an F5 to the Rock.

So thats my Top 5 Summerslam matches, if you have any thoughts please leave a comment and let us know your favourite matches. J.

I’ve been Big Boss and I’m out.... Peace. 

TNA in trouble, who should WWE sign?

With the recent news of Spike TV’s intent to cancel TNA: Impact Wrestling on their network should they not reach a new agreement, the future of TNA is now up in the air, causing some stir I would imagine throughout the entire wrestling community as to what will happen to all the TNA wrestlers should they close their doors for good. Well I figured I would have a quick whiz through their current roster and think about who WWE would be or should be interested in looking into hiring or maybe giving some sort of deal too should the roster of TNA suddenly become free agents. I also brought in my friend 12ve-Pac from the SOS to throw his 2 cents in the mix as well, it’s good to have friends!!

From me first I think and in no particular order of course:

1.       Bully Ray / D’von (Team 3D / Dudley Boyz)

Now for a couple of reasons I have included both of these guys as 1 choice because I think they should come as a team, even if they don’t get used as a team on TV or maybe not even used on TV at all. Both have enough experience between them to get involved in the actual business side of things in WWE and could be used on and off screen to enhance up and coming talent. Bully Ray could even be given a run as a Face or Heel with his persona evolving as much as it has, however D’Von sadly I do see as more training and development.

2.       Gail Kim

Now I always thought Gail Kim was one of the better female wrestlers in WWE and TNA, so would be great to see her go against the likes of AJ or Paige in good divas matches, I believe her resigning would do wonders for the Divas division to give it just a little boost and would have to be a top choice by WWE with regards to the TNA knockouts.

3.       Samoa Joe

Well this was an obvious choice, he is a big atheletic guy who has years of expierence and with some classic matches under his belt with guys like Kurt Angle, Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles, I think it’s a good idea to hire him. Given a bigger platform to perform on he may become one of the bigger stars in the company, WWE already tried a similar gimmick with Umaga and even more recently with Rusev, so why not use Samoa Joe for his advantages over them.

4.       Bobby Roode

An obvious choice, with how far he has come from his beginnings in Team Canada to teaming with James Storm to form Beer Money Inc, then into Fourtune and then his solo run ending in a world title reign. I would like to see him come in and I think could be a solid mid carder with dips into the upper card for the WWE, if they also signed on James Storm they could easily reform Beer Money Inc to reinvigorate the tag division.

5.       Kurt Angle

If Angle could pass the medical he would be so valuble not only as an in ring talent but also as a backstage influence, his experience and sheer talent would no doubt go a long way in helping the new crop of WWE developmental talent. I fear is in ring value would be lower as i would think that aspect of his career is nearing an end, with so many injuries going back so long it makes sense to come back to WWE in a more backstage / training role and who better than Kurt Angle for that.

Now onto my SOS cohort for his look into the TNA roster. J

12VE-PAC’s

With TNA on the ropes financially that does not make good reading for the company's top talents. With the news that WWE is fast loosing money and letting talent go themselves, they may need to fill some gaps in the roster. So here are my top 5 potential WWE signings from TNA, should they want to pay out!

1) The biggest name in the TNA lockeroom at the moment is Kurt Angle, so he has to be on the list. It's been no secret that the feelings between WWE and Kurt have been... Well... Stretched over the past few years when Kurt left WWE. With TNA on a financial shoestring it may be them that pulls the first blow on this deal. Kurt has a lot of injuries but he has still performed at the highest level in TNA. Question is would WWE take the chance of him re injuring himself as a performer in the ring? Probably not but, I would love to see him in a WWE ring again.

2) This couldn't be a top 5 without a potential diva or two :) so my next draft pick is going to be Velvet Sky. A good, consistent performer in the ring at TNA and could add to the competition in the currently, lack lustre diva's division. She has a good look and can actually wrestle, which is something else that is missing from the current women's division, apart from a handful of the girls in the WWE. I would absolutely love to see a red hot divas division again and this could be the key! One of the main reasons I think WWE is loosing money is due to lack of different content and I have made it clear in my video predictions (YouTube.com/siteofshite) that this needs to change to peak my interest in WWE again.

3) It's no secret that Vincent Kennedy McMahon loves big men! Lol, couldn't resist that opening for my next pick :) Abyss is an athletic big man who has a very serviceable look for the WWE. Get rid of The Pants Khali and replace him with someone who could pose a threat to anyone in the WWE World Heavyweight title picture. Abyss could work a great match with any of the top superstars, become part of the authority and make a very intimidating tag team with Kane, or equally become the new enforcer as Kane's time in the ring draws to a close. He would simply be a great signing.

4) This leads nicely onto my 4th pick for the draft, Samoa Joe. Yes it's another "big guy" but, Samoa Joe can go in the ring. He is more athletic than most guys smaller than him plus he has the submission angle which, only a handful of WWE superstars have at the moment! He could make the mid card serviceable in his twilight years in the ring, or pose a threat in the top tier of the company. This makes him a workable, utility talent which at this moment is sorely needed to fill spaces on a packed card of PPV's.

5) This list would not be complex without Canadian talent. So Bobby Roode is going to complete my list of TNA talent with the potential to do well in the WWE. Although he has had a brief stint with the company already it was nothing to write home about. In 2003 he went through a series of matches not winning a single one. The times have changed and Bobby Roode has the superstar pedigree to be the face of the company at some point. He could have some wonderful matches with Randy Orton for examples as their styles in the ring would complement each other very well. He has the potential to be the next Triple H style character, a role fit for this man and he could play it to the letter.

So they are my top picks for the potential talent that WWE could pick up in a future TNA firesale and that finishes my long overdue contribution to our annual SummerSlam article in association with The Big Boss @bigboss010 also check out Mike Air and myself on Twitter @siteofshite and on our YouTube channel of the same name for PPV prediction videos as we reach our second birthday. Thank for taking the time to read my ramblings and keep your shite tight!

Thanks for reading, I’ve been Big Boss and I’m out..... Peace! 

Least Favourite Wrestlemania Matches

This list was even more difficult for me to write than the favourite matches, if you can believe that, because regardless of the fact that it’s the biggest wrestling show of the year, each and every time we do get a stinker or two, so here we go.....

1.       Intercontinental Championship Match - Rey Mysterio vs JBL at Wrestlemania 25

This match hurt me emotionally, I was a huge fan of JBL when he was WWE champion, I felt that this match could have been a bit of a gem, however as Rey was making his entrance I nipped to the toilet and when I came back the match was over and Mysterio was IC champ!!! WTF! Really?? Then to make matters worse JBL then quits and walks out! This match is up there as completely horrific.

2.       World Heavyweight Championship match

Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton vs. Rey Mysterio at Wrestlemania 22

No I am not totally against Rey Mysterio but I must admit to not liking him, however this match to me was a real cluster fuck of a match, Mysterio had this spot because Eddie Guerrero died and Angle was in it because Batista was injured and Orton because they needed someone else involved. For god’s sake Angle wins the match 2 times during the encounter yet still doesn’t walk out with the belt!!! So sadly this match despite Angle’s awesome performance makes this list.

3.       Jerry The King Lawler vs. Michael Cole at Wrestlemania 27

No, No, No, No, No!!!! We did not need this match and especially not at the biggest PPV of the year, the only thing that even got the fans interested was they had Stone Cold as the referee. Even then through a stupid “Mystery GM” was the match decided.... what a waste.

4.       The Rock vs. John Cena from Wrestlemania 29

I have chosen this match for a few reasons, the main 1 being that their encounter the previous year was labelled “Once in a Lifetime”... Yeah! Right! 2^nd being that after about 2 minutes the Rock was blown up, he was puffing like mad and he was obviously in bad cardio shape for a match of this calibre. Their first encounter wasn’t as good as anyone expected and this match was worse.

5.       Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg at Wrestlemania 20

Wow, neither of these guys cared and neither did anyone in the crowd. The story broke that both guys were leaving the company and they did little to hide it. The only time the crowd bought into this match was when Stone Cold stunned both Goldberg and Lesnar at the end of the match.

Honourable mentions.

1.       ECW Title match - Kane Vs Chavo Guerrero at Wrestlemania 24

2.       Casket Match – Mark Henry vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania 22

3.       World Title match – Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania 28

4.       Kane vs. The Great Khali – Wrestlemania 23

Those are my personal choices for my least favourite Wrestlemania matches and now i’ll pass you over to my partner in crime 12VE-PAC for his choices.

5 of the worst Wrestlemania matches in history

Wrestlemania 28 - Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus

The downright embarrassing 18-second match between Daniel Bryan and Sheamus at WrestleMania 28 felt like a slap in the face to both guys. Even the awful Michael Cole got more time in the ring at Wrestlemania. A list of the worst matches should always include this debacle.

Wrestlemania 9 - Undertaker vs. Giant Gonzalez

I feel like I'm betraying all wrestling fans by putting The legendary undertaker on my bad list but truly this match was absolutely awful. Not even a really cool chariot entrance with a Vulture could save this match.  One thing is for sure, when talking about The Undertaker’s best WrestleMania bouts, this is absolutely at the bottom of the list. No doubt Undertaker wishes he could erase this mess from his resume altogether. Truthfully, Gonzalez made The Great Khali look like Shawn Michaels. No one, not even Undertaker, could have saved this match from disaster. 

Wrestlemania 20 - Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg w/ Stone Cold as Special Referee

Lesnar vs.. Goldberg ended up as one of the most memorable bouts in WWE history for all the wrong reasons as the fans in the arena vociferously booed and jeered the two wrestlers. Word got around prior to the show that both were soon leaving the company. Only special guest referee 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin managed to garner cheers, when does this man not get cheered? The crowd really got behind the rattlesnake when he delivered the Stunner to both men after the match was over. DTA!

Wrestlemania 12 - Hunter Hurst Helmsley vs. The Ultimate Warrior

HHH's first match at Wrestlemania was very short lives indeed. There was a stone cold t shirt that said "arrive, raise hell, leave" that pretty much gives you a description of this match apart from the raise hell bit. I would say this has to be the worst on the list because there was no actual match but the crowd were a little more accepting of this kind of thing back in the day.

Wrestlemania 7 - Jake "The Snake" Roberts vs. "The Model" Rick Martel (Blindfold Match)

Credit the build up and a slightly less hostile crowd back in 1991 for this match being what is like to call "a crap classic" a match so bad it was actually good. By definition gimmick matches like this are terrible and this one was no exception, but testament to both guys and how they worked the build up to this match it is actually enjoyable.

Honourable Mentions

Wrestlemania 27 – Michael Cole vs.. Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler

Wrestlemania 9 – Yokozuna vs. Hulk Hogan (Impromptu Match)

Wrestlemania 2 – Rowdy Roddy Piper vs.. Mr. T (Boxing Match)

Wrestlemania 21 – Big Show vs. Akinbono (Sumo Match)

Wrestlemania 30 - Kid Rock tries to sing… AGAIN :)

Favourite Wrestlemania Matches

With Wrestlemania 30 looming I thought it would be fun to have a think about my personal favourite Wrestlemania matches, not what I thought were the top 5 best matches, just my personal favourites. Then this idea sparked up asking my cohort 12VE-PAC from over at SOS to get involved and send me his personal favourite matches to go with them. These matches are in no particular order and are all in good fun.

Big Boss’s Favourite Wrestlemania Matches.

1.       WWE Title Match - The Rock vs Stone Cold Steve Austin at Wrestlemania 17

This match takes the #1 spot for me as this match was the main event of the first Wrestlemania I watched when I first got into wrestling properly back in the summer of 2000. This match also started Stone Cold’s heel turn, which brought about one of my favourite tag teams ever, the Two Man Power Trip with Triple H and this was one of my favourite times in wrestling history. That slam dunks this match as my #1.

2.       World Heavyweight Championship - The Undertaker Vs. Batista at Wrestlemania 23

This was an awesome match; Batista had been on a roll, winning back the World Heavyweight Title after he forfeited it due to injury. Was a fantastic match and added a new level of toughness to Batista having never really faced someone like the Deadman and certainly not at the level of Wrestlemania.

3.       Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 21

What a match, the best wrestler in the world vs. the best sports entertainer in the world, this match was just fantastic and both guys gave one hell of a performance. I think as a straight wrestling match is probably one of the best ever at a Wrestlemania show, can’t fault it from my stand point.

4.       Streak Vs. Career – The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 26

The 2^nd encounter between these two giants in pro wrestling, this time HBK’s career was on the line and despite probably not being as good a match as their first encounter this match had more depth and story to it. Plus the “SUPER TOMBSTONE” to finish the match also bumps it up in my humble opinion.

5.       Hollywood Hulk Hogan vs. The Rock at Wrestlemania 18

This match gets in on the list for simply being the 1^st major ICON Vs. ICON match long before The Rock vs. John Cena. This match was the real main event of Wrestlemania 18 and without a doubt wasn’t the most technical match but certainly told the story that needed to be told.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

1.       Batista vs. John Cena at Wrestlemania 26

2.       Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 19

3.       Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania 19

4.       Mickie James vs. Trish Stratus at Wrestlemania 22 ;-)

12VE-PAC’s Favourite Wrestlemania Matches.

Wrestlemania 3 - Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant

Over 90,000 fans filled the Pontiac Silverdome in Detroit while others packed arenas to watch the match on closed-circuit television. It also involved a moment on commentary that has not been matched yet in terms of a matches participants and hype "The irresistible force versus the immovable object!". This was the first truly epic match in Wrestlemania’s long and illustrious history and the true birth of Hulkamania 'Brother'.

Wrestlemania 8 - Rowdy Roddy Piper vs. Bret 'Hitman' Heart

Remember the Intercontinental title? No! Well it still exists believe it or not and there was a time when it had matches at Pay Per View matches of great magnitude. This match definitely has to be on any Wrestlemania playlist because the match is just awesome. The build, the psychology, the near heel turn and of course Bobby the brain and Gorilla Monsoon. A pure wrestling classic from two of the best, but the finish was an absolute classic. How many times have you seen a sleeper hold reversed into a pin? Watch this match it may be the first and only time you see it.

Wrestlemania 18 - The Rock vs. Hollywood Hulk Hogan

This one has a special meaning to me. It involved my childhood favourite WWF superstar and one of my favourites from my teens in The Rock. The match was by no means a wrestling classic but my goodness I marked out and still do even now seeing these two go head to head. Hogan (heel) got cheered and Rock (face) got booed. However it was the stare-down where both men looked left and right that had to be one of the coolest moments in WWE history.

I don't know of anyone who won't remember this match, which is why it made the list.

Wrestlemania 24 - Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels

Since January of the year 2008 Ric Flair had been living each match like it was his last in part to Vince McMahon's stipulation that the next match Flair lost would end his career. Step in Mr. Wrestlemania to give Flair the send off he deserved. Easily the best match on the show that year besides the Money in the Bank Ladder match. The match went back and forth until Shawn pulled the trigger on Old Yella'! A very sad moment for the world of wrestling, until he turned out for TNA, but a fitting end to a golden career.

Wrestlemania 10 - Razor Ramon vs. Shawn Michaels (Ladder Match)

The second of two intercontinental title matches on my list. This is the match that is thought to be the godfather of modern ladder matches, raising the bar higher than it had ever been, this match is truly awesome in every way. First of all the set up is classic... literally as what I am about to say may surprise a few people.

Shawn was on his second run as IC Champ when, it became apparent that... Wait for it... Shawn hadn't defended the title within the 30 day time limit 'cough' Dean Ambrose 'cough' and so Shawn was stripped of the title. Razor Ramon aka Scott Hall, won the title and Shawn returned with a duplicate title, claiming to be the real champ. The only way to settle this was to hang both titles above the ring and so the modern ladder match was born.

The definition of a spot fest, these two used the ladder to full effect, with the crowning spotlight on Shawn Micheals as he dropped his tights and splashed Razor from the top of the ladder. Ultimately this is what led to Razor's win and being crowned undisputed IC Champ. Paving the way for Money in the Bank, TLC and multiple tag team ladder matches, which followed suit in years to come.

Honourable Mentions

Wrestlemania 3 - Macho Man Randy Savage vs. Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat

Wrestlemania 17 - Raven vs. Big Show vs. Kane (Hardcore Match)

Wrestlemania 25 - The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels

Wrestlemania 22 - Edge vs. Mick Foley (Hardcore Match)

Kabal of the Dark Night - Prologue

Deep in the darkest corners of the dark city Commoragh, the home of the “True Eldar”, lies “The Spire of the Dark Night” and the Kabal that dwells within its armoured walls. The spire stands no taller than most of the kabal bases in Commoragh and at a first glance would seem almost inoffensive in appearance, but little is truly known about the contents of this nefarious structure and even less is really known about the occupants, The Kabal of the Dark Night.

This kabal’s origins and history had been all but been wiped out during “The Fall”, the cataclysmic event that birthed “She Who Thirsts” and nearly extinguished the entire Eldar race. After what few Eldar that managed to survive had managed to escape into the web way, they soon split into factions as the Dark City grew around them  and to a degree the city shielded the remaining “True Eldar” from the ever hungry clutches of “She Who Thirsts”.

Little is known of the Archon of the Dark Night, what is known pointed to the Archon being part of a respected family before the fall, they had never truly given into the temptations of the other Eldar, they had merely been voyeurs of the fall rather than victims, however like the other Eldar eventually felt the gnawing of “She Who Thirsts” at their souls but had discipline enough not to indulge too much in the dark arts required to keep her at bay. The Dark Night was one of the few Kabal’s in the Dark City not to employ the services of a Haemonculi or any of their unnatural creations such as Wracks, Grotesques or Scourges, despite their wealth. The Archon believed them to be abominations and would never turn to them for aid or help regardless of how desperate they became.  The Archon’s love for heavy firepower was one of the only real pieces of information known about the mysterious Archon, little other evidence pointing towards their identity or heritage. What mystified the citizens of the Dark City more was how the Dark Night had survived the rise of the tyrant Asdrubael Vect as he became overlord of Commorragh and in doing so had all but wiped out the noble houses that commanded the Dark City during its infancy. This apparent overlook scared most and intrigued others, but no one would dare speak of it, in case of incurring the wrath of the Tyrant.

However it has been known rarely for forces from the Dark Night to join raids onto real space worlds, even if few in number they have aided by loaning their fleets of Ravager gunships and Razorwing jetfighters to sizeable raids with the most rewards. These forces disappear as quickly as they arrive back to the spire after taking the rewards owed for their services. It has even been noted that their forces have been seen allied with their craftworld cousins in defence of their borders from imperial forces, providing crucial heavy support to the crude weaponry of their craftworld brethren, no knowledge of how this alliance came to be is known and many have questioned the kabal’s actions to no avail.

Over the last few months the kabal has been the hot topic in Commorragh with more whispers being spread about their forces. These rumours have included many tales such as; the Kabal is preparing for a lone raid into real space to attack the imperium of man, they plan to attack the Tau empire, they intend to conquer the warp to destroy “She Who Thirsts”, the kabal is planning a coup against the tyrant and even that the kabal has formed a secret alliance with the tyrant’s forces in the Black Heart kabal to help give the Black Heart power absolute within Commorragh.

Many rumours are rife inside the eternal city with little to no fact being known, the only evidence of increased activity from the kabal at present is a mysterious signal that started being generated from the spire of the Dark Night, a signal so strong its been sent not only round the webway, into every facet of Commorragh but piercing the very fabric of the webway itself and being transmitted into real space itself.

Its message being short yet repeating over and over again …..

“We are the Dark Night & We Are Coming”. 

WWE Elimination Chamber 2014

Welcome to the 2014 Elimination Chamber PPV event, I’m Big Boss and you can follow me on twitter @bigboss010 and you can follow my good friend and tag partner 12ve-Pac @siteofshite. This PPV is generally quite a good show leading to Wrestlemania as we usually get to see two Elimination Chamber matches, however this year we only have the 1 Chamber match as now we only have 1 champion, but probably for the best. Some nice little matches lined for the show too some of which I’m quite looking forward to, I’m quite excited about this PPV, the final stop on the “Road To Wrestlemania”.

Match # 1 Intercontinental Title Match

Big E (c) vs. Jack Swagger with Zeb Colter

As Swagger enters, we get a quick Zeb Colter promo, he says that the E in Big E means enough, we have had enough of Big E as the IC champ. I don’t like Big E that much myself, this Swagger would make a good IC champ personally, think he needs the belt to actually gain some momentum going forward. However I imagine that Big E will pick up the win here, WWE seems behind him and obviously wants him to be pushed. Quite a few “we the people” chants, more cheers for Swagger than there were for Big E in this match.

Big E hits Swagger with the Big Ending to get the 3 count pinfall on Jack Swagger, was actually quite a good match, both guys actually looked really good, great spot with Big E hitting a spear through the middle rope to take himself and Swagger down to the floor on the outside.

Segment 1

Bad News Barrett arrives and explains how Russia has won more Olympic medals than the USA.

Backstage we are with Daniel Bryan, he is asked about his mindset tonight, he says he is 100% focused on the chamber match and he will fight his hardest to win the title tonight. YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!

Match #2 Tag Team Title Match

New Age Outlaws (c) vs. The Uso’s

As much as I love the New Age Outlaws, I really don’t think they should be tag team champions, but I think they are just looking for a heel team to drop the belts to the Uso’s.  It’s a shame that the Outlaws are too damn popular to be considered real heels. The Uso’s have been building some popularity as of late they have a quick style in the ring and their entrance has also picked them up some fans too.

Billy Gunn rolls up Uso #1 to retain their tag team championships, wasn’t a mind blowing match because no offence to the Outlaws but they are just too confusing with regards to whether they are face or heel and they just shouldn’t be the tag champs in 2014.

Segment 2

Bad News Barrett is back, this time to deliever some bad news to Daniel Bryan fans, he tells them that he won’t win the title in the chamber and then the Yes Movement will die.

Match # 3

Titus O’Neil vs. Darren Young

I was absolutely gutted when I heard that WWE had split up the Prime Time Players because I loved the gimmick with the “Millions of Dollars” gimmick and they were actually a tag team and considering that WWE were going to put more effort into the tag team division they seem pretty bent on splitting up established teams. I give it 3 – 6 months and at least 1 of these guys will be “Future Endeavoured”.

Titus O’Neil wins the match after hitting Darren Young with the “Clash of the Titus”, wasn’t too bad actually, just a shame that they broke up a cool tag team to make this match happen.

Segment 3

Bad News Barrett is back again!!! This time to tell everyone that he is better than Hulk Hogan... wtf!!!

Josh Matthews is with Mark Henry, The Miz and Rey Mysterio for the Elimination Chamber panel, they talk about the pre show match with Curtis Axel and Ryback vs. The Rhodes Brothers.

Match # 4 – 6 Man Tag Team Match

The Wyatt Family vs. The Shield

This match has been in the works for a long time, the fans have obviously wanted to see this match for a while too, and it is going to be an epic match I think. Both teams have been on a collision course for a while especially considering just how dominant both teams have been, I do think however they could have waited to have this match at Wrestlemania 30 instead of this PPV. I’m not even sure who I am really behind in this match, the Shield have done very well in big PPV matches like this, but the WWE seems quite solid in their pushing of the Wyatt family too and if the plan is to have Bray Wyatt vs John Cena at Wrestlemania then they need to get a win here to lead to the match.

This is a match of the year candidate!!! Fantastic match!!

Bray Wyatt pins Roman Reigns after hitting him with the “Sister Abigail” to give the Wyatt Family the win here in what can only be described as a FUCKING AWESOME match. This had some high flying spots from both teams and the double chokeslam to Seth Rollins through the announcers table was brilliant. The Roman Reigns come back at the end was brilliant and it’s a match of the year candidate I think, hopefully we will get a rematch down the road. Bray winning this match was good too because it pushes him on his road to face Cena at Wrestlemania.

Segment 4

Christian is in the back with Rene, he says he desperate to win the WWE title.

Match # 5 – WWE Divas Championship Match

AJ Lee (c) With Tamina vs. Cameron

Ok an impromptu Divas title match, oh look over there.... Something REALLY REALLY COOL!!

Cameron wins by DQ after Tamina pulls her out of the ring. Short match and made no real sense.

Segment 5

Another Bad News Barrett appearance, mentions that the WWE network goes online and that everyone will lose their jobs because they will be spending so much time watching the WWE network. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING??????!

In the back with Santino playing with a wrestling toy, then Emma walks in to speak to him, then Khali walks in too and followed by Los Matadores. Santino sneaks out and the rest play with the toys..... WTF!!!!

Match # 6

Batista vs. Alberto Del Rio

Batista is going to have his hands full here I think with Del Rio, provided they let him get some offence in of course and since the build for this match hasn’t been overly brilliant they should let them have a reasonably balanced match. The match itself was set up on twitter just before Batista’s return, and was then confirmed after the Royal Rumble ppv.

Del Rio enters wearing full clothing, using a crutch and brandishing a neck brace, he says he will not be able to compete, but then attacks Batista with his crutch, undresses and is set to compete, what an ambush!!! The crowd do not like Batista, they are firmly behind Del Rio in this match and the commentary team cannot believe it.

Batista beats Alberto Del Rio after hitting him with the Batista Bomb and then pinning Del Rio. Wasn’t a great match to be honest, was mainly Del Rio beating on Batista until Batista caught Del Rio for the bomb. Crowd were not into Batista in this match, so many chants for Del Rio it was unreal and that makes me laugh.

Segment 6

Back with the Elimination Chamber panel, Miz says Bryan will win, Henry says Sheamus will win and Rey Mysterio says Cesaro will win.

Match # 7 – WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match – Elimination Chamber

Randy Orton (c) vs. John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus vs. Christian vs. Cesaro

This chamber match has to be the most anticipated chamber match in recent memory, with Cesaro getting a major push, people getting behind him in a big way and then Daniel Bryan who is one of the most popular superstars in recent years owing it mainly to a single word “YES”. Cena who always gets a reaction from the crowds wherever he goes, Sheamus recently returning at the Royal Rumble and Christian who returned shortly after that are also not new to this game so these guys including the current champion Randy Orton should put on one hell of a show here I think.

Cesaro and Sheamus are starting the match as the #1 and #2 entrants.

Entrant # 3 is Daniel Bryan, quite shocking that I would have put money on it being Christian since he wasn’t in the starting two!

Entrant # 4 is Christian, Captain Charisma enters the match, much later than I expected too.

Entrant # 5 is John Cena, that is even more suprising, I expected him to be last to be honest, really thought Orton would be in 5^th, but its good that the champ is in last.

Entrant # 6 is Orton... Obviously, didn’t you read the last paragraph?

Elimination # 1, Christian splashes Sheamus from the top of a cell and pins Sheamus to eliminate him from the match, not my call for 1^st elimination, but am happily surprised! Go Christian!

Elimination # 2, shortly after this of course Daniel Bryan knees Christian in the face to eliminate him from the match via pinfall! GUTTING!!!

Elimination # 3, Cesaro then after an amazing display of power by german suplexing Cena while trying to AA Daniel Bryan, sadly taps out to the STF! Man Down!

WYATT FAMILY are here and they are inside the chamber and attack Cena and Bryan but then quickly focus on Cena alone. Cena gets double teamed and then gets a “Sister Abigail” from Bray Wyatt, the Wyatt’s then leave the chamber.

Elimination # 4, Orton then sneaks in and pins John Cena to eliminate him from the match.

Kane comes out and throws the Wyatt family out of the ringside area. Then enters the chamber to check on Cena, but Bryan Attacks him like an idiot!!! We can take a big guess about what is going to happen here now!

Bryan knees Orton in the face and just as he is about to get the pinfall Kane pulls the ref out to stop the count, Orton then gets back up and RKOs Bryan but only gets a 2!

Elimination # 5, Kane cheap shots the recovering Bryan, Orton hit another RKO and this time gets the 3 count to pin Bryan and retain the WWE title.

Quite a cool match, didn’t go as I expected to be honest and I like it when I’m surprised like this. Knew the Wyatt’s were going to get involved and had an idea that Kane would get involved too if Bryan got as far as he did. Overall it wasn’t a bad PPV actually, continued the stories that we all knew were coming and sets up nicely for Wrestlemania 30. I cannot wait to see the show with my good friend 12ve-Pac and as usual it will be an amazing atmosphere there. Imagine we will do some videos for the old youtube channel so keep your eyes open for them

You can follow me on Twitter @bigboss010 and 12ve-Pac @siteofshite too. Thank you for reading this and I hope you enjoyed the show as much as me.

Ive been Big Boss and I’ll see you! At Wresltmania 30! I’m Out! ..... Peace. 

UFC 170: UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship fight Rousey vs McMann

I have wanted to write a UFC report for a while, not really that into UFC so will probably be a case of just writing about the fights I actually care about for the time being. This fight will see Sara McMann is challenging Ronda Rousey for the UFC women’s championship. This fight is set for 5, 5 minute rounds.

McMann is currently at this stage undefeated with 7 wins under her belt, she is an Olympic silver medalist in wrestling which she won at the 2004 Olympic games in Athens and has been a professional fighter since 2007, I think wrestling is a huge part of the UFC base, it will be interesting to see how she manages to utilize it in this fight.

Ronda Rousey is the current UFC women’s champion and is the self proclaimed “heel” in UFC, stating that everyone wants her to fail and that she will continue to disappoint them. She has won all her fights at this stage and has beaten 7 of her opponents in round 1 and to top that all her wins at this stage have come from using the arm bar submission. She won a bronze medal in judo at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing China. A good contrast to the Wrestler opponent, the Judo should also provide an interesting challenge for McMann.

TALE OF THE TAPE

Ronda Rousey (c)

Born: USA

Age: 27

Height: 5’7”

Weight: 135

Reach: 66”

Sara McMann

Born: USA

Age: 33

Height: 5’6”

Weight: 135

Reach: 66”

Round 1

Both ladies come out swinging but McMann ends up backed against the cage, however just as she fights out Rousey puts her back on the cage wall, throwing the odd knee into the side of McMann, Rousey knees McMann in the gut by the liver area and McMann drops down to the floor and the ref stops the fight there.

At 1 minute 6 seconds into the fight Rousey retains her Bantamweight women’s belt and for the 1^st time not winning by the arm bar. Well that wasn’t much of a fight really; entrances and announcements were longer than the actual fight, a bit gutting really, had hyped myself up quite a bit for this fight too, bet the paying crowd were a bit miffed too. Looking like her next opponent will be Cat Zingano who is the current ranked #1 in the women’s division after Rousey, so may be worth a watch when that fight happens.

Thanks for joining me on this really short write up, you can follow me on twitter @bigboss010 or follow my tag team partner over @siteofshite. I’ve been Big Boss and I’m out, peace. 

ROYAL RUMBLE 2014

Well we are back again for another ROYAL RUMBLE, this time though sadly i’m not with my main man 12ve-Pac for this event, you can catch him on twitter @Siteofshite and follow them on the blogspot too. I’m Big Boss and you can follow me on twitter too @bigboss010. This is shaping up to be an interesting Royal Rumble and I don’t think many fans will walk out of this show happy.

The kick off show surprised me with the NEW AGE OUTLAWS winning the WWE tag team titles from the Rhodes Brothers.....

Never mind though ay, time for the show. 

Match # 1 Bray Wyatt vs. Daniel Bryan

The build to this match has been rushed to hell, Bryan joined the Wyatt family only to turn on them 2 WEEKS LATER!!! What was the point, he should have hidden within the ranks till the Rumble match really then throw Wyatt out to turn face again, but that’s just my booking I guess, I know guys who would have held out even longer. Daniel Bryan has become a MAJOR fan favourite and it is a bit of a shame that WWE don’t seem to have this guys back, but at the end of the day his main events didn’t draw what they expected so WWE is all about the money. Both these guys must have looked at each other before they entered the arena and said “Lets knock this out of the park”.

Bray Wyatt wins by pinfall after hitting Bryan with the “Sister Abigail”. Was a really good match and had some really cool moments including Wyatt catching Bryan in mid flight and hitting him with a “Sister Abigail” against the outside barricade. The fans seemed really into this match but went dead at the end when Bryan lost. A lot of people think Wyatt will be facing Cena at Wrestlemania and its looking good with that win.

Segment 1

Rene is in the back with Heyman, who says that Lesnar is going to victimise Big Show in their match.

Josh Matthews is with the Hall of Fame PPV panel, Ric Flair, Jim Duggan and Shawn Michaels. Talk about Lesnar vs Big Show.

Match # 2 Brock Lesnar with Paul Heyman vs. The Big Show

Been built pretty well by the both of them so should be interesting to watch, but this match really needs to be a pretty short match with Lesnar winning quickly to look dominant, but I have a feeling that it’s going to be longer than it should be. But still Lesnar is great so who cares.  Lesnar pre-emptive strikes Big Show and smashes him with a chair and continues the onslaught for a while until the ref gets rid of the chair. The match then begins.

Wow, that was a great little match, Big Show comes back for a minute but Lesnar ducks the KO punch and smashes Big Show with the F5 to get the pin fall victory. Great Lesnar looked good and the match didn’t go on for too long which is also good. Lesnar then gets back into the ring and smashes Big Show again with a chair with Heyman cheering at ringside, beating him so brutally that he changes chairs half way through. Brilliant. The pre and post match beat downs have been longer than the actual match... I like it. Then Lesnar and Heyman walk away.

Segment 2

The Shield are in the back and they talk themselves up going into the Royal Rumble.

Rene is with Orton talking about his title match with Cena, says he is going to beat Cena again and how no one will beat him.

Match # 3 WWE World Heavyweight Championship match

Randy Orton (c) Vs. John Cena

The build for this match has been a little recycled with Orton attacking Cena’s father at a show. It’s good to see Orton on top instead of Cena but still I think the live crowds aren’t that into the Orton reign as champion. These guys have had some good matches in the past but also some real stinkers so this match really could go either way and with the crowd really just wanting Bryan nonstop I imagine the chants will be varied to say the least. We get a “WE WANT DIVAS” chant during the match which makes me laugh at least.

The Wyatt family appear at ringside and Cena is distracted long enough for Orton to hit the RKO to get the pin fall to retain the title, he then leaves through the crowd avoiding the Wyatt family. The Wyatt family then attack Cena after the match and leave him laid out after Bray hits Cena with “Sister Abigail”.

Now I didn’t think that was a bad match overall but the crowd really weren’t into it but I didn’t mind it, moved Orton on as the champ and allowed Cena’s next opponent to be previewed.

Segment 3

Rene is in the back with the New Age Outlaws the new WWE Tag Team champions, she talks about the match. Road Dogg reveals that its 14 years since they last held the tag belts.

Advert for Elimination chamber featuring Steph Mac.... the things I could do to her in an Elimination Chamber!!!! ;-)

Back to the Legends Panel with Josh Matthews, they pick their favourites. Duggan says Ziggler, HBK says The Shield / Punk and Flair says Batista.

Batista (TOLD YOU SO) will be going to Wrestlemania to face the WWE world heavyweight champion for the belt in the main event, or at least the middle of the card. The crowd are NOT happy about that, an arena full of “NO” chants and boos. Well people if you wanted Bryan in the main event maybe you should have paid for Summerslam 2013 instead of illegally downloading or streaming it! HA HA! I like Batista and will be interesting enough to see him in the title match at Mania.

Not a bad PPV event, could have been a lot worse, the Rumble match was really fun I thought and it’s gutting that JBL didn’t even get to hit the clothesline, sad times. But again the PPV was quite cool. My 1 main negative was that the tag team title match wasn’t on the card, when it really should have been, but we can’t have everything and I know that.

Well next stop on the road to Wrestlemania 30 is Elimination Chamber, I look forward to writing that review for you and again follow me on twitter @bigboss010 and my pal Luke @siteofshite.

I’ve been Big Boss and I’m out.... peace.
