I am very impressed with the way they are building up the HBK, Undertaker match at Wrestlemania. All the promos they have been having are complete gold. I love what the did on Smackdown with Shawn mocking the Undertakers entrance, then he goes on quoting bible verses. I havent seen this Shawn in a while. He was being extremely cocky taunting the Undertaker, its awesome. It reminded me of something that they would of done back in the Attitude ERA. I also like that they make it seem like Shawn is not intimidated by the Undertaker. They are making the Undertaker look harmless. I hope the match at Mania is exceeds the build up. This is the only good build up they have going on all three shows. I just hope they don't have a copout ending with DQ or something. That would completely ruin everything.
Who I want to win the Money in the Bank.(Rank 1-8)
This money in the bank has the potential to be the worst MITB in history. Having these big guys in the match is not a good thing. MITB is about spots and big unathletic wrestlers don't do good spots. But, this blog is about who I want to win the MITB, I will rank each superstar from 1(This being who I really want to win the match), and 8(Who I don't want to win the match).
1.Christian. I have been waiting for him to get a big push in the WWE. I hope to God Vince gives him a chance and gives him the MITB. Granted, he left the WWE to go to TNA back in 2005, but Christian in TNA he progressed as a main-eventer in TNA, he showed that he could hang with the big time wrestlers. When he went to TNA he matured as a Wrestler. I have been watching Christian eversince he debuted in the WWE, so I hope he wins the MITB and gets the World title that he has worked for his entire career. If he wins the MITB I will cry. If he wins the WWE title I will cry.
2.MVP. If Christian doesn't win I hope MVP wins. This guy has been working his ass off ever since he debuted in the WWE. As of Right now, he is a main eventer. He has showed he can have good matches, he has showed that he can have great promos, he is ready to go to the next step.
3.CM Punk. Last year Cm Punk won the MITB and cashed it in to win the World title. CM Punk, gave me the most memorable moment of the past 5 years last year. I would love for him to win the MITB and win the World title again. I just hope that if he does win and he cashes it in to win the World title again, I hope the WWE does better his title reign. On top of having one of the most memorable moments he also had one of the worst title reigns of all time. And it wasn't his fault, it was the WWE's fault. So if he wins I will be extremely happy.
4. Kofi Kingston. Eversince Kofi debuted in the WWE I have been impressed with him. He is a great athlete, he has great charisma, he reminds me of a hybrid of Ricky Steamboat and Booker T. But, I don't think he deserves to win the MITB... yet. I think in about a year or two he will be ready for the main event. But if he does win I wont be upset, I would be stoked, because he is a hard worker.
5.Shelton Benjamin. I am not a big fan of Shelton. He doesn't really have good charisma, and he botches more than he should. But with that said, He is a great athlete with good ability. He is very entertaining in Ladder Matches. But beyond that he is very bland. He is very inconsistant, and from what I have read in the past, is that he very unmotivated. He has been better than usual, but he is still pretty bad. If he wins the MITB, I wont be upset, but I wont be happy either, just because their is wrestler who are better than him in the match that deserve it more.
6.Kane. I was a fan of Kane but his time has past. He is past his prime, he is old. I really don't want to see him win. I will give Kane this, is that he is a very hard worker, and he like to get the young guys over. Thats what I like about him. But he doesn't need to win the MITB.
7.Mark Henry. Last year Mark did some of his best work. He had some of his best matches, but he doesn't deserve to win the MITB. It would be very stupid and unlikely for Mark to win the MITB. Besides that why is he in the MITB? It is a very stupid decision.
8.Fit Finlay. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. If he wins the MITB it would be the worst decision the WWE has ever made. The only reason he is over is because he has a little midget following him to ringside. I am not a fan of Finlays and I will never be. The guy is is 10 years past his prime, and doesn't deserve to be in the MITB over guys like TBK, Evan Bourne, Jamie Noble, and Jimmy Wang Yang.
Chris Jericho vs. Jimmy Snuka, Roddy Piper, & Ricky Steamboat
Through all that build up, through Jericho beating up on all the Hall of Famers, this is the match that is going to happen. You gotta be kidding me. Wow, out of all the legends this is the best they can do. They could of talked Austin into wrestling, but no they are going to put on a match that is craptastic. They just wasted prescious TV time to build up a handicap that is going to suck. WWE you have done it again. If they were going to bring back legends why didn't they bring back Savage, Warrior, or Austin?
If it wasn't for the MITB, HBK vs. Undertaker, and Hardy vs. Hardy, this Wrestlemania would suck.
Superstar of the Day for March 16, 2009
ECW Blog 2-25-09
The past few weeks of ECW have been awesome. But this past episode the main event between Jack Swagger vs. Christian for the ECW title was awesome. That match was probably the best match I have seen on WWE TV in a while. As of right now its Match of the Year. If this match didn't put Jack Swagger over then I don't what will. This is exactly what they need to do with ECW, make the whole show about good wrestling. I love the fact that they put Jack Swagger over clean. It brings more mystery on who he is fighting at Wrestlemania. I still think it will be a rematch between him and Christian but who knows?I feel stupid now, when Christian debuted on ECW I was saying it was a mistake but now its one of the best things they could of done. On top of Christian building his fan base back up, it helps Jack Swagger get over having the great matches with top stars. Kudos to the WWE on letting these two great wrestlers go out and have a great match.
