You Should Be Praising Brock Lesnar!

You Should Be Praising Brock Lesnar!

This past Sunday, Wrestlemania 30 created the ultimate buzz. Professional wrestling icon, The Undertaker placed his undefeated record up against The Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar and what happened in that match effected more people than you could imagine. 

Let's talk odds for a minute...the more times to the well, the odds increase that the well will run dry. Undertaker was 21-0; beating anyone and everyone and entertaining millions and millions and creating a security blanket that wrestling fans would snuggle up with every year, with no stop in sight...until Sunday.

Now, let's pull back the curtain of Oz and look at realism. So many people claimed "Brock sucks"..."He changed the script"..."Undertaker should've retired undefeated!!"..."He got beat by a part time wrestler!!". Ok, I understand your feelings are hurt...but here goes some facts:

Brock Lesnar is a legitimate bad ass. Brock Lesnar was hand picked by the Undertaker to end the streak. Brock is as much of a part time wrestler as the Undertaker. The streak was meant to be broken and its the Undertaker's right to choose the path of the character. 

An injury occurred, which can happen when two 300lb monster fight each other. The Undertaker received a serious concussion early in the match, causing the Undertaker to be "lost" and dazed a bit. NOW...pay attention, as this is why you should praise Brock instead of hate Brock Lesnar....

Brock was a true professional and helped the Undertaker finish this match. Brock helped guide and protect the Undertaker for the remainder of the match. Brock gave the Undertaker plenty of rest spots, hoping the Undertaker would get his wits about him. If Brock was the monster you make him out be...why would he do this? Why wouldn't he just be reckless and take full advantage of the Undertaker? Because as much as you hate to admit it, Brock Lesnar is a P-R-O-F-E-S-S-I-O-N-A-L thats why. Look at this from a team perspective...they entered this match as a team and worked together. When one wasn't able to finish, the other took up the slack and did the right thing. The match was finished as designed and it sparked massive emotions, as it should. Everyone felt the effect.

His name is Brock Lesnar and HE should be praised!!

Wrestlemania and Your Wake Up Call

Wrestlemania and Your Wake Up Call

Good morning monday morning armchair bookers...if you're reading this, there is a great chance you spent your hard earned money on Wrestlemania last night and you're probably bitching. I am writing this as your voice of reason to help you feel better and look at the real side of WWE. 

First and foremost, if at any point, you look at last night's show and want to mention "it was booked wrong" or "they didn't let them work"...well, then you're already too smart for your own good. WWE is not about booking!! When they hire "writers", t9 times out of 10, they have 0 wrestling background. Also, let's look at Dusty Rhodes, who was a noted booker for NWA and/or Dutch Mantell who booked in Puerto Rico for several years as well, are both back stage, plus guys like Steamboat and Anderson...do you think those guys, collectively could not book the the most amazing show ever? Hell, you have Paul Heyman right there...this guy made wrestling fun again...he get's it, they all get it..but you don't?? Let it go!!

What ever hope you're believing with hopes that John Cena will "go heel" (even though he sells more merchandise than ANYONE and grants more "Make a Wish" wishes than anyone EVER) or that CM Punk will beat the streak of a guy who people have talked about for more than 25 years (do you think Punk will have any validity in 25 years?) then you might want to either head to the Independents or quit watching. I feel bad for the Independent companies..they try to offer you old school booking, yet you shit on it and claim it's dated, but they turn on the "Entertainment" button and you shit on that too. 80,000 people attended that show last night and Millions bought the PPV...if you aren't happy..don't watch and don't go! Your seat will be taken by someone else, I promise.

I am your wake up call. WWE is entertainment, just like a movie or TV show. They base they're "push" on ratings...your opinion doesn't matter. You have every right to bitch if you were unhappy about Wrestlemania but let me ask you this - Was the "show" that bad? Or was it because they didn't "book" to your liking? The presentation was amazing (from the pictures I saw). They offered the greatest fan experience they could. They have a Hall of Fame ceremony (which some are based on entertainment draw also). They put on one hell of a show.

I get so tired of seeing people complain, yet they watch every week. For what??? To see if they're gonna start "your booking mentality"?? Hahaha...come on...be better than that. Either watch for the fun of it and let go of "wrestling" concept and accept "Entertainment" or simply turn it off. If you sold 80,000 seats for an event and generated MILLIONS, would you change??? Me either.

Yes, I'm defending John Cena!

Yes, I'm defending John Cena!

Last night while watching Raw, I tweeted about John Cena and was amazed by the negative response. I was inspired to write today, for some it might give you a different opinion, for others, it will spark more hate.

Being in the Professional Wrestling business is a blessing and at times it makes you crazy. I'm on my way out, I'm over the hill and its a young man's sport. When you first get in, you're amazed...the sights, the sounds, the pop or heat you get when you walk through the curtain. It's a high...seriously. I can remember feeling it for days after something special happens.

Sadly, you quickly are turned into being a piece of paper that people tear from all sides. Many times, we remain silent when we see things that people don't understand or are quick to complain about. Which brings me to John Cena...ah yes, the man who carries the WWE and yet gets shit on by the common man. Many can argue my thoughts and theories but if you open your mind and stop worrying about the nonsense, you will enjoy the show much, much more. 

*  The common complaint from the fans is - "John Cena is superman..he never loses!" Ok, lets take a look at that statement. John Cena sell more merchandise than ANYONE in the WWE. An insider told me how much money he brings in on his likeness alone, which was staggering. Cena is the flagship of WWE, much like a Hulk Hogan was...it's hard to find someone with that much charisma to carry a company, seriously. John Cena also is an ambassador for Make a Wish and Special Needs kids, World Wide. He single handly is responsible for granting over 300 wishes for sick and dying kids. WWE has millions invested in Cena, why destroy someone who does so much?

Also, after a year of build up...John Cena LOSES to the Rock on WWE biggest stage, Wrestlemania. He loses clean to an actor. Which, might I point out, that you also complained about. No one expected Cena to get beat by the Rock, who we all know is a part time player in the company and WILL be back in the title picture come Wrestlemania again, and chances are..you'll complain about that too.

* Next complaint - "John Cena should never have beaten Brock!". Ok, think about this for a minute, if Lesnar beats Cena...then who does Brock face?? Who else would stop him? Punk? I love Punk but, seriously, Punk gives up 60 pounds easily to Lesnar. Plus, don't you enjoy the "Best in the World" programs that Punk did with Daniel Bryan? Guess what, Lesnar faces Punk, he kills all of that...the Punk momentun train stops instantly and then you have a UFC proving to everyone that Wrestling is a big work and wrestlers are less superior than UFC...way to go arm chair bookers. Way to destroy the company.

Instead Lesnar goes with HHH and neither lose steam. In fact, the program with HHH made him look stronger! Cena floats in and out of the title picture but continues to support the CM Punk angle. I think, Cena is used perfect. He creates PPV buys, sells merchandise and puts guys over.

* Last complaint - "Does Cena have to headline ever PPV?" As you can see above, there is a reason why he headlines PPV's...he sells tickets. WWE is a business...and more importantly, an Entertainment business! Their goal is too make money...to continue to stay in business so that you have something to complain about every Monday night. More often than not, the people who complain the loudest are the same wrestling fans who stream the PPV's, don't buy and merchaindise and wait for the latest DVD set to end up on Netflix. 

Until someone else steps up to take over the WWE, John Cena is your Captain...you can sit and enjoy yourself or sit and bitch. When I see Cena roll out of the ring to go hug a special needs kid, that too me equals class. Remember, you watch an invisible kid each week get fist bumped and actually get hurt...you watch a psycho twenty something as the GM of RAW. You watch Mae Youngs Hand on the 1000th episode (I know I laughed) and you complain about "It's not real?"

Just my opinion. Now, I'm gonna go buy myself a John Cena shirt and support the cause. He's steering the ship and I'm on board. My name is Rob Dimension and I have Risen Above Hate.
