Ever since I was a very young kid I’ve been watching professional wrestling. As a kid it was a form of escapism for me and then I started watching it with my dear grandmother until she passed away. I’ve considered wrestling as a special bond between me and my grandmother so I have always continued watching professional wrestling throughout the years into adulthood. However these days it’s not so much the wrestling but the business side of things that keep me entertained these days. The business side of wrestling is pretty cutthroat and can be just as entertaining if not more than actual wrestling these days. Oh how I miss the old days of the WWE/WWF and especially ECW, those were the glory years of true wrestling.

WrestleMania Random Thoughts

Well it’s that day today; WrestleMania is officially couple hours away. To be quite honest I was going to today’s WrestleMania not anticipating very much at all unlike other passed WrestleMania’s. Really the only match that had me looking forward to it was triple H versus Sting however within the last week thinks have changed dramatically. Brock Lesnar finally made a decision and re-signed with the WWE and has said goodbye to mixed martial arts (MMA) forever. You have to give it to the man he weighed his options, he played the game just right and most people would say he made the best choice for him his family and his health.

So since this has happened the main event for WrestleMania is now completely up in the air. Before this happened it was virtually hundred percent lock Brock was going to lose the match to Roman reigns. But now that Brock Lesnar has re-signed that pretty much changes the dynamics, it now has people more emotionally involved in the match. Now the match has people truly wondering who is going to be the winner Brock Lesnar or Roman reigns or maybe even money in the bank winner Seth Rollins somehow gets involved.

You got to give it to Vincent Kennedy McMahon when he truly wants something he gets it, and this was definitely a score for the WWE retaining Brock Lesnar. Also like I mentioned before triple H versus Sting that one should be pretty interesting match as well. Even though triple H hasn’t really been in the match for long time he can always bring it especially in WrestleMania. Now even though the WWE will make it seem like Sting hasn’t wrestled in multiple years that is not true because real wrestling fans has seen Sting wrestle in TNA. We all know that Sting can still go and when the man is excited and anxious to show his best he can go as good as anybody out there today even at his age.

Another match which is interesting to me is the Undertaker versus Bray Wyatt. For me overall the match is not super interesting to me in fact I would’ve preferred the undertaker versus Sting however I’m glad to see the undertaker after last year’s WrestleMania in which he took the beating from Brock Lesnar. I hope he appears more rejuvenated today and can put out a good performance as he has always done so before. But these are my picks for these matches triple H versus Sting: sting wins all the way, Brock Lesnar versus Roman reigns: I personally would like to see Brock destroy Roman and finally Undertaker versus Bray Wyatt: I hope undertaker takes him out: may he rest in peace!

Random Thoughts Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan had an incredible run as the WWE heavyweight champion and the yes movement. Even though I’ve never been a real big Daniel Bryan fan you have to give him a lot of credit. Unlike so many other athletes and people in general he maximized his opportunity until he unfortunately got hurt. In the wrestling business you usually work yourself up to a certain level and then typically compete and are utilized at that level for a while. Unfortunately for Daniel it seems like he’s been very much demoted since his injury to his neck.

The top brass at WWE now has him competing for the Intercontinental championship belt. So far I have read numerous theories, rumors and conspiracies about this. Some people say it is a form of punishment for him for going hurt in the first place. People say he works to stiff in the ring for his own good. There are rumors that certain people at the top management never liked him and are very happy to downgrade him as much as possible. Their feelings were such a small man in comparison to the other athletes can never truly be the face of a wrestling company especially in the WWE. It is said that Vince McMahon and triple H only want to truly promote big hulking bodybuilding type of wrestlers.

And according to this philosophy there is no chance in hell that a guy Daniel size could beat an athlete such as Brock Lesnar whatsoever. However the prevalent theory right now is that since he is not in the heavyweight picture anymore he is being used to elevate Intercontinental championship to a new level. Even so this might be true and like I said before I was never the biggest Daniel Bryan fan it’s still very weird seeing him involved in his current storyline.

It’s weird seeing him in the current storyline and I know he’s still living his dream wrestling in the biggest company in the world but it still seems like it should been put in a better position heading into WrestleMania this year. I truly believe this year the brass at WWE have completely messed up WrestleMania! The only thing appealing to me WrestleMania this year is Sting and triple h and if Brock Lesnar will be renewing his contract with the WWE or go back to mma.
