Classic F5: Brock vs. Shark

Never been a big fan of Shark Week, but if Brock wants to F5 a shark again, I'll be watching, for sure.

Kenny Omega vs. 9-year Old Girl

How in the world would Kenny Omega wrestle a 9-year old girl? That's what I wondered when I started watching this. Funny thing is, this girl can wrestle, and the three-minute time limit helped this match, for sure. I guess Tavi can be in the ring in less than 6 years...

Smackdown

This is what happens when you try to steal a purse from a WWE diva. The move is called a "belly-to-back suplex ." Click on this link to see the execution of the move on the unsuspecting purse thief. http://www.anthonyjudelawrence.com/wp-content/uploads/image/smackdown.gif

Wrestlemania 24 Match Predictions

Wrestlemania 24 is just a week away (and yes, this is the 24 th year they've done one). I thought I'd post my thoughts on the matches; while the card isn't great, it's one of the better Wrestlemania cards that they've put on in a long while. 1. 24 Man Battle Royal (winner facing ECW Champion Chavo Guerreo later in the show) -- Odds on favorite has to be Kane. Could someone less well-known win? Maybe, but I think Kane is likely to win and then go on to beat Chavo Guerreo for ECW title. Prediction: Kane 2. Chavo Guerreo vs. Kane -- Normally, this kind of match would happen later in the show, but don't be surprised to see Chavo come out immediately after the Battle Royal is over (or, actually, he'll probably watch the match from ringside, jumping in as soon as Kane has eliminated Mark Henry and Big Daddy V from the ring). The producers will want to get both the Battle Royal and this match done in 15 minutes. ECW has no value to them... Prediction: ...

WWE Raw: What Bothers Me About Pro Wrestling on TV

Yes, I like professional wrestling, but I don't like the way it's presented on TV. The average TV match lasts less than 5 minutes. If the match goes longer than that, there's always a four minute commercial break, and you can generally predict when the match is about to go to commercial -- someone is always thrown out of the ring. While matches last less than 5 minutes, promos can go on forever -- up to 15 minutes. And they never go to commercial when someone is cutting a promo. That means to the WWE promoters, the talk is more important than the actual wrestling. And, of course it would be, as their main interest in doing the TV show is to promote the next pay-per-view. In essence, WWE Raw and all the other shows like it are infomericals . Interesting side note: in last night's show, Vince McMahon took on Ric Flair in a street fight. The match was at least 10 minutes long, but there were no commercial breaks, which is odd. Was it because Vince was in the match? Pro...
