Rusev Crush

Who is WWE’s biggest heel at this moment?  Brock Lesnar?  Maybe.  But the truth is Lesnar’s not really a heel.  Paul Heyman is, but Lesnar has never once cheated or done anything remotely heelish.  He’s just awesome at kicking ass.  Behind Lesnar you have The Authority, a group most people are jaded with, but who have the brilliant Seth Rollins.  He was the guy no one expected to be the heel coming out of The Shield, but has done a brilliant job with it.  Behind him, is Rusev.  Who isn’t just one of the biggest heels in the company, but also the most credible one.

NXT Takeover: Rivals Preview

With just a two month turnover between live specials, the latest NXT Takeover: Rivals, has had roughly eight hours of Network time to promote itself into a strong show.  To put that into perspective, the main roster do six hours a week with Raw, Smackdown and Main Event.  Therefore, it is a bit of a disgrace that this again feels like one of the best built WWE shows in recent times.

Royal Rumble Predictions

The Royal Rumble is most wrestling fans favourite PPV of the year.  Screw ‘Mania, although we tend to love that too, the Rumble is where it is at.  While we have had disappointing Rumbles over the years, it is fair to say it very rarely fails to deliver at least couple of fun moments and it also sets us on the ‘Road to Wrestlemania’.  We get to know who will be competing for the big one on the ‘Grandest Stage of Them All’.  I can’t think of anymore WWE buzzwords to throw in now, so lets just get onto some of my predictions.

Foxcatcher

Foxcatcher is a film that gives a lot of people a chance to shine.  A look at the lives of David and Mark Schultz, both of whom were Olympic amateur wrestlers and John E. Du Pont, an American millionaire and wrestling fan who runs Foxcatcher Farms on his mansion estate and wishes for it to be the headquarters of the USA’s wrestling program.  It’s a true life story and one that I shall not spoil for those of you that are unaware of its outcome, needless to say, there is a reason it has made its way onto film.

NXT Takeover: Revolution

Slowly but surely, NXT has become one of the best wrestling programs on TV.  Led by Triple H and featuring some of the best young, up and coming wrestlers in the world, it is the future of the WWE.  Or at least it will be, if they don’t fuck it up.  Last night they had their latest Takeover event, Revolution.  These NXT versions of a PPV are some of the best shows WWE has put on this year and last night was no exception.

My Thoughts on ROH – Final Battle

Last Sunday Ring of Honor held Final Battle at Terminal 5. New York.  It is ROH’s biggest show of the year and I guess their equivalent of Wrestlemania or Bound For Glory.  Now, I used to watch a lot of ROH, but I have to be honest and admit that in recent months I have become lax in doing so.  I keep up to date with what is going on, but very rarely catch the television product, it’s a similar relationship that I have with TNA to be honest.  However, with this being ROH’s big show, I decided to return and because I am like that, to also give you all my opinion on where ROH stand at the end of 2014.

CM Punk and the State of WWE

Last week CM Punk finally opened up about his final months in the WWE and unsurprisingly he chose to do so on the podcast of his good friend, Colt Cabana.  In a near two hour long interview, he painted a kind of terrifying picture of a company that not only sounds like the creative equivalent of a dry well, but also sounds like a rather horrible place to work.  It all came together to suggest that WWE may have more problems than the average fan believed.

Obviously an old one

So it is Wrestlemania Sunday and I don’t even know if I’m going to be able to watch it tonight, I have to get up early tomorrow and being in the UK staying up to watch it means being up till around 4 am.  Whatever I end up doing it doesn’t prevent me having an opinion on the show, so I present to you now my predictions for just what is going to happen at the Super Bowl of wrestling.
