CM Punk goes over Randy Savage

CM Punk's WWE Championship reign has passed the 317-mark that was set by Randy Savage. If Punk can hold on and pass John Cena's 380 day reign, it would be the longest reign in nearly 25 years.

Dolph Ziggler talks about why he does not count his only World Heavyweight Championship Reign!!

WWE star Dolph Ziggler spoke with Chris Van Vliet of WOIO in Cleveland and discussed the way he sells moves. "I do everything, especially when I’m getting beat up, If I’m going to run into something, I’m running into it full force and it hurts," Ziggler said. "But instead of hearing ‘oh, is that guy ok?’ you hear ‘OOOOH!!’. My body’s on the line because I love this and I do it for a living."

Dolph also said he doesn't like to acknowledge his only World Title reign. "I don't like to count that because it was even a sticky situation where I was barely handed the championship," he said. "Technically I was told by Joey Styles that it counts in the record books, I don't count it. I have been working way too hard for too many years for that to be my championship. This one (Money in the Bank) is gonna be the start of my championship reign."

Ziggler also spoke about being compared to Shawn Michaels and Curt Hennig. "“Mr. Perfect, I was a big fan of his because we kind of had similar deals like wow, we’re almost too good at this that it looks easy sometimes," he said. "Huge fan of his, huge fan of Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair.

"Those guys who always wanted the spotlight even if they weren’t supposed to be in it. They were the guys, if they weren’t the main event, they showed up the main event to let everyone know that next time you put me in there."

Stone Cold Steve Austin and CM Punk Rip at Each Other!

Trish named one of 'The 50 Most Beautiful People in Sports Entertainment History

Arguably the greatest WWE Diva to step inside the squared circle, former fitness model Trish Stratus was certainly one of the most gorgeous individuals in WWE history. With a smile that could melt hearts, Trish was named WWE Babe of the Year three consecutive times before being declared Diva of the Decade.

Although her good looks often hid her competitive nature and resiliency, the tenacious competitor was a seven-time WWE Women’s Champion and even held the Hardcore Title. Trish retired from active competition in 2006, but she keeps herself in fighting shape through her Stratusphere yoga program. Since then, men everywhere have been practicing their downward dog pose.

Kharma

Good old J.R. has not caught a break on WWE television since I can remember . One week his business is trashed, a few weeks later he is drenched with barbecue sauce, and now he is portrayed as a sexist jerk thanks to a May 30, 2011 RAW promo by Kharma.

For a guy that wasn’t even on RAW, Jim Ross came out of the broadcast as one of the biggest heels in the WWE. A short anecdote told by Kharma as she gave her WWE exit speech prompted a backlash against J.R. the likes of which he probably hasn’t seen since his last WCW production meeting.

It all started at about 10:30 PM/EST on May 30, 2011. WWE "Diva" Kharma entered the ring to cut her much anticipated promo on RAW. Kharma confirmed a week of rumors about her pregnancy in her promo and said she would be leaving the WWE temporarily due to the recent turn of events. Ironically, she used an old story about Jim Ross to turn herself babyface and kill a lot of goodwill Jim Ross has created with the WWE Universe for almost two decades.

Kharma told a story on RAW about trying out for Tough Enough Season 2 in 2001. Kharma recalled Jim Ross turning her down for the opportunity to compete that season in Tough Enough. Kharma then said that Jim Ross told her she was "too fat." The crowd booed and instantly the monster who had been stalking Kelly Kelly for a month was now cheered as Jim Ross’ Twitter account blew up with a barrage of nasty tweets from outraged WWE fans.

I went on to Twitter to check out the post-RAW tweets as I normally do and also saw a ton of anti-Ross tweets. J.R. himself started tweeting in response to the numerous angry tweets he had received about Kharma. I was just stunned that so many people would be so short sighted as to blame Jim Ross for oh I don’t know…doing his job!

Don’t blame Jim Ross for telling Kia Stevens she needed to lose weight to become a WWE wrestler, blame Kia Stevens for showing up out of shape to the Tough Enough tryouts with little to no training. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to watch WWE programming and see that you need to be in great physical shape to be a WWE superstar. Could you imagine the backlash in the office if the WWE Executive Vice President of Talent Relations put Stevens through? The guy was just doing his job!

It is also very important to take a look at the big picture here. This wasn’t Kia Stevens walking into the Tough Enough tryouts in 2011 with ten years of seasoned training as arguably the best female pro wrestler in America. This was a barely trained Kia Stevens walking into Tough Enough overweight and asking to be put ahead of men and women who showed countless hours a day of commitment to their physical conditioning as part of becoming an elite professional wrestler. If physical conditioning was a big part of the criteria and she didn’t meet it, why should she get passed through?

Now should Jim Ross have told her she was "too fat"? Who knows if this story was even true? If so, it is a really tough debate to make right now in this world of politically correct language. She wasn’t trying out for the ballet. She was trying out for pro wrestling. Jim Ross isn’t there to make friends and let’s face it, he is just pointing out the obvious. Could he have had used better language? Sure, but it wouldn’t have mattered regardless.

Maybe I am crazy, but it sounded to me like the language actually inspired Stevens to go out there and prove him wrong? What if he gave her the runaround? Maybe she would have never went to Japan and earned her way to the WWE the hard way? Nobody will ever know the answer to these questions, but I think if you are going to bash him for what he said, it is also fair to keep in mind what happened after he said it.

Finally, what Stevens didn’t say on television is that Jim Ross was actually partly responsible for bringing her to the WWE last year. Ross and Steve Austin were big fans of Stevens and met her at a Cauliflower Alley Club banquet. The two actually helped her get into the WWE after meeting her three years ago. He just simply happened to recognize her talents and offer to help her out. Those same talents she didn’t have in 2001.

Take a look at Jim Ross’ track record of recruiting talent when he was running that department for the WWE. J.R. didn’t miss often and hit on a lot of talent that would turn into some of the biggest WWE superstars. I tend to think he knows what he is talking about and if Stevens wasn’t WWE material in 2001, I’ll lean towards his judgment.

So if you are going to call Jim Ross out for not putting Stevens through Tough Enough, praise him for recognizing her talents in 2010, and give the guy a break. He was just doing his job. He was casting for a part that she didn’t fit in 2001. She fit the part in 2010 and gave the woman an opportunity to fulfill her dream.

Since her departure due to her high risk pregancy, Stevens has only shown her face once and that was during the 2012 WWE Royal Rumble match entry as 21st only to be eliminated minutes later. Since her return to the Royal Rumble, the WWE Universe began to speculate the change of the current Divas Division. Speaking of the current state of the Divas Division, which brings us to the current Divas Champion and Kharma's likely Wrestlemania opponent, Beth Phoenix. A match between the two has been a dream match since each woman dominated their respective companies.

From 2007 through 2009, Beth was the top woman in the WWE, and Kharma under her Awesome Kong moniker, built a reputation for the TNA Knockouts division through a series of tremendous matches with Gail Kim.

Beth and Kharma are the complete opposite of what modern-day WWE looks for in their Divas. Both women are powerful and talented in-ring performers with backgrounds in professional wrestling.

A match between the two at Wrestlemania would not only provide the company with a legitimate wrestling match at the event for a women's title since Mickie James challenged Trish Stratus at Wrestlemania 22. It may also change the direction of women's wrestling in WWE.

Kharma brings with her intrigue and fan interest that was missing from the Divas Division during her absence. It is apparent, from the way she is treated as a major star, that the creative team is motivated by her character and her presence. As a result, the Divas' focus receives the attention it is often lacking.

Whatever path she takes on the Road to Wrestlemania, she gives fans something in terms of women's wrestling in the sport's top promotion they have not had in years: A reason to care.

My WrestleMania 28 Experience

Hello Everyone,

As you all I know, I attended WrestleMania 28 @ the Sunlite Stadium in Miami, Florida.
Saturday
I started my WrestleMania weekend saturday morning as I head to the Sunlite Stadium to attend the WWE SuperStore and Meet Santino Marella. I arrived at approximately 0630 even though doors did not open until 1030am. I was nuber 5 there and as we got closer to opening the more and more people showed up to meet Santino. Only the first 300 got wristbands which guaranteed them an autograph and picture so I was pretty excited. The doors open and I continued to wait in line until finally Santino shows up at 1115am. Once everything got ready the line began to move, when I got to Santino I thanked him for being the United States Champion and told him that I was a Marine. I asked him to please make the autograph to Kailer, who is one of my best friends and he couldnt make it. He asked me how to spell it, but I had his name written on the wristband to make things easier for him. He read the name and signed the picture. When it was time for the picture I asked him to please do the cobra with me and he said "NO". At moment I felt like all the time I time I spend waiting was a waste of time. I never in my life excepted to be dissapointed in Santino, it was like he is this rich guy that was too good to make his fans happy. On saturday night I attended the Hall of Fame Ceremony and it was amazing. JBL had by far the best introduction than anyone else, he introduce Ron Simmons. The Uso Brothers talked about their uncle Yokozuna and Rikishi accepted the award. Shawn Michaels and Triple H introduced Mike Tyson, the intro was funny but once Tyson came out everything went down hill. He did not have a speech set up and it was absolutely ridiculous. Alberto Del Rio talked about his uncle Mil Caras. Dusty Roodes introduced the FourHorse Men and finally Christian introduced Edge. This is not anything close to the order that it happened. The only thing that I have to say about this ceremony is that Edge was incredible. He held himself very well, but once everything was set and done he stood up and thank his mom for everything and just bursted into tears. I got the change to meet Christian, Edge and his mother backstage and she was super nice. I thanked Edge for everything he did and she look at me and said "Thank you for all the support, my son couldn't have done any of this if it wasn't for all of you faithful fans". I tried to take a picture with all three of them but I was being rushed out because they had to leave, but it was a very nice moment and I wish I would've taken a picture with them.

Sunday

On Sunday afternoon I attended the WWE Axxess it was quite interesting. I made sure to buy the 1230 to 1630 times because I wanted to meet Kelly Kelly :). I showed up at 1200 and got in line, once I got inside I made it to the first Superstar signing section, there were 6 and noone knew which superstar would show up so you had to just wait in line and hope that someone you liked haha would the one on that section. After waiting about 35 minutes the first person that shows up is Mason Ryan. I am not a fan of that guy but he does look exactly like Bastista, he was actually very nice and talked to me for a while and posted for a picture. Other superstars there were Tyler Reiks, Curt Hawkins, Layla, Sgt Slaughter, Ted Dibiese Sr, Alex Riley, Heath Slater, Howard Finkle, Derrick Bateman, Maxine, Hill Billy Jim, "Showtime" Percy Watson, The Uso Brothers and Sin Cara. I was able to take pictures and autograph from some of them, but others it was too much and the lines were too long haha I just didnt want to wait that long.. Axxess was not too bad there were some matched but I didnt know who fought, since I spend most of the time waiting to meet Superstars.

I arrived to the Sunlite Stadium for WrestleMania  at around 1730 and there weren't a lot of people at all. I was very upset because noone knew where my seat was at first. When I bought my ticket, it said that I was sitting by the entrance ramo, but when I got there I ended up being 100 feet from the ring which was not too bad after it took them about 35 minutes to figure out where they placed the chairs that belong to my section. The sun was blazing and it made things very uncomfortable at first when I got there, people were complaining that it was too hot and was just waiting for the show to finally start. Justin Roberts came out at around 1800 and told us that the show would begain in one hour. Finally we saw a couple of referees that came out and took pictures from the stage and then headed back to the back area. At around 1830 everyone started to come to the ring, Michael Cole got a lot of heat and Jerry "The King" Lawyer of course got a huge pop. I was very exicted for the Dark Match which involve the Uso Brothers vs Tyson Kidd & Justin Gabriel vs Epico & Primo, because I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and was brought up watching Carlitos Colon (Primo's father and Epico's uncle) on TV. After the dark match Lilian Garcia came out and sang 'America The Beautiful' which gave me chills and me being a Marine, it made me just think about how awesome it is to live in the place I call home now; America. I am not going to go and talk about every match because everyone know the results already but I will only point out the ones that made my experince well worth it.

Hell in a Cell Match-Tiple H vs The Undertaker with Shawn Michaels as Special Referee; Absolutely the best match of the night by far. I was in tears throughout the match because of the story that they told. Shawn Michaels played his role very well and Hunter and Taker gave it their all out there. I was honestly not sure which way it was going to go, at times I thought that Hunter had it just because of the way things were playing out. When Shawn hit the superkick on Taker, I thought it was all over but when Taker kicked out the place went NUTS! I was standing on my chair watching and waiting while the people working there were yelling at me to get down. I was yelling back at Taker to finish HHH not paying any attention the arena workers there. I had a very hard time during my time in Florida and this match honestly made it all worth it and Im glad that I stuck around enough to finally see it live.

Kane vs Randy Orton

I am a HUGE Kane fan, many will admit and/or argue that he is not very good, but I enjoy everytime Kane hits the ring. I was very happy that he got a match at WrestleMania and while others said he was not going to come out on top, when he chokeslam Orton and pinned him 1-2-3, I think I was the only person that jumped up from his seat and screamed from the top of his lungs. It was an absolute treat seeing Kane wrestle for the first time and seeing take the match at WrestleMania made things even better.

 

Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan for the World Heavyweight Championsip

Super dissapointed that the match was not longer!! I wanted to see more Sheamus and Bryan that getting stuck watching the Divas or even Team Teddy vs Team Johnny.

CM Punk vs Chris Jericho for the WWE Championship

I really enjoyed the matched, a lot of the people around me wanted Jericho to win and take the belt, but I thought it would be too soon and Punk is the one that needed the win. He is getting put in the position that Cena is in right now, and if he didnt take the win at WrestleMania things wouldn't have been gone too well for his push. CM Punk has been on a roll as of late and having him hold on to the WWE belt is a great decision. Yes, I would love to see Punk on chase mode, but the storyline with Jericho making punk the vulnerable champ makes sense. Punk's "Best in the World" slogan is being put to test right now even after his big win at WrestleMania, and I'm sure he will take things to a whole new level and bring live to WWE that we havent seen in a while.

John Cena vs  The Rock

I absolutely HATE John Cena and I was glad Rock won.. enough said

Overall my WrestleMania experience was a really good one. For those that are planning to attend a WrestleManian in the near future, my suggestion would be to go with some friends. I was alone the entire time since all my Marine friends were not able to attend the show with me especially being stationed in North Carolina did not make the drive all that good. I think I would've had a way better experience if I was with people I knew that truly loved the prowrestling business as much as I do. For those attending WrestleMania 29 at the Metlife Stadium.. I WILL SEE YOU THERE!!!!

Thank you for taking the time to read by post and remember: CENA SUCKS!!!!
