Jack Swagger, World Heavyweight Champion

How do you people feel about Swagger cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase and becoming the new World Champ? Me personally, I think the gun was jumped with him. However, theres so much potential in him. So in this case, it's either hit or miss. The guy has so much talent and has the look of a World Champ. He knows how to get the crowd to hate him, which in his case is a good thing. But on the other hand, I personally think they could have waited and gotten him over more. Maybe had him compete for the Title on a few occasions, to test him. Like I said, talent wise, the kids got it. So for something like this, it has it's ups and downs. Perhaps it's a test to see who from the younger generation can carry the workload on his back and help keep the company where it's at when guys like Undertaker and Triple H aren't there anymore. Anyway, whether the gun was jumped or not, this could be the beginning to something great. I guess we'll have to wait and find out how it goes.

Hitman Hart: Wrestling With Shadows Review





The Best There Is, The Best There Was and The Best There Ever Will Be. For years now, I've been trying to get my hands on this. People have told me it's the tell all tale documentary of Bret Hart and the events leading up to the Montreal Screwjob. Finally, after watching it, I soon realized that it exceeded the hype. My expectations were just gonna be basic details about Bret and The Montreal Screwjob. Little did I know it was gonna go into depth in such a strong manner and show the entire world what really happened. Now, I've read up on it in the past and it said what it had to offer. But it turned into I have to see it to believe it. After watching it, I do truly believe that Vince screwed Bret. Some people will argue that and their obligated to their opinion, however I say Vince screwed Bret. Without spoiling the entire documentary for those who haven't seen it, it discusses that Bret was always loyal to the WWF and Vince McMahon. Bret was indeed offered a 20 year contract with the WWF, or a 3 year contract with WCW that would give him 9 million dollars. Being loyal and what not, Bret decided to stick to the WWF. Little did he know, Vince would soon call him up and back out of it, telling Bret they couldn't afford it or afford him. That's where things got hasty and Bret had no choice but to call Eric Bischoff. Everyone knows how Bret didn't want to drop the belt in Montreal, but was more than willing to come out the next night on Raw and surrender it or gladly lose it. No problem, right? No. Vince didn't trust him, thinking he'd walk out of the company still Champ and show up on WCW Nitro with the belt. So rather than work things out like a business man, decides to take matters into his own hands. You can say that Bret wasn't being a professional, but he seems like one of the most honest and loyal guys this world has to offer. I truly believe he would've showed up on Raw the next night and dropped the belt. But they didn't see it that way and that's when the plot for the Montreal Screwjob was discussed and before you know it, Shawn Michaels locks The Sharpshooter in on Bret Hart and that signifies the end of The Hitman's run in the WWF.

How would I rate this movie? Like I said, it exceeded expectations. If it were it to me, every wrestling fan should own a copy so they too can see what actually went down and can form their opinion about who screwed who on that. This dvd is highly recommended and for wrestling fans around the world, it's a must see. If you don't believe me, go out and get the dvd yourself. For certain you will be in for a treat.

Vince kills off the Mr. McMahon Character?



So according to reports, Vince has finally decided to kill off the Mr. McMahon character. He said the character has ran it's course and it's time to end it. Obviously, this choice was well time seeing as how that character came to after the Montreal Screwjob and it ends after Bret Hart gets his revenge. Personally, I enjoyed the Mr. McMahon character. It was always a good laugh and I think that's how the wrestling world will forever see him. The maniacal boss, out to better himself and could care less about his employees. I guess to a point, it was a good thing he ended it now before the image was completely killed. However, it will be alot different without the insane Mr. McMahon running around, wrestling a mediocre match, but giving everyone watching an enjoyable moment.

Thank You, Shawn Michaels



Where do I even start with this? Shawn Michaels is without a doubt a future WWE Hall of Famer and an inspiration for many. By far one of the greatest superstars to ever lace a pair of boots. In the ring, Shawn was untouchable. There weren't many people that could keep up with him, which is why Shawn was in a category of his own. When he was in the ring, he was in his own world. His drive to be the best was unmatched. (Many will argue that, but that's my opinion.) Anyways, HBK had many classic battles with superstars like Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho and of course, The Undertaker to name a few. Without a doubt, Shawn was The Showstopper. People paid to see him wrestle because he had incredible talent. I had my hopes for Shawn to defeat The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 26, but I also had my doubts. The Undertaker's streak is legendary and nobody can say that their 18-0 on the grandest stage of them all. Seeing HBK lose was tough because it was the end. As far as anyone knows, that was the last time we'll ever see him lace up a pair of boot and put on a show that the entire world will remember. His retirement speech on Raw this past Monday was sad. This has been his life for 25 years now and it's all coming to an end. As a longtime fan, I will without a doubt miss seeing him perform. I'm sad to see him go, but I guess you can't do this forever. So I want to say, Thank You Shawn Michaels. For everything you've done and the entertainment you've provided. Being a longtime wrestling fan, I've been watching Shawn for the last 12 or 13 years now. Maybe in time, we'll get to see one more match. But as it stands, Wrestlemania 26 was his last match. So like I said, thank you for all the memories and I hope we get to see one more match.
