The Rock,John Cena and WWE made me feel the magic of Pro Wrestling again

Wrestling has always been about telling stories and creating moments. wrestling has always been a industry of telling good vs bad, one guy against another and whether good can indeed overcome evil. That is wrestling in its simplest form, you can add more complexities to it, more nuances, more layers to the story and the more compelling you make it, the more involved the fans become, the more they want to see where the story goes and the eagerness to see that story come to a conclusion. That's the magic of Pro Wrestling is making someone feel something, that's why i loved it so much as a child my superheroes weren't Superman or Batman they were real life pro wrestlers that told me stories of good vs bad,. I always remember a moment when i first felt true emotion in Pro Wrestling it was Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper Wrestlemaina 8 Intercontinental title match, in the middle of the match Piper is holding the ring bell, just about to use it on a bloody Bret Hart, Piper looks at the ...

The Rock - His recent WWE Wrestlemania Legacy

The Rock - His WWE Wrestlemania Legacy   In my opinion The Rock is a huge superstar. I watched him on TV at home when I was a 10 year old debuting at Madison Square Garden and through the next few years into being The Rock and becoming a global Wrestling  superstar. The Rock transitioned over into acting and films and in my mind  is dominating Hollywood with Hugely successful films such as Fast 6, Snitch, Pain and Gain and GI Joe 2 with more to come in 2013 and beyond.       For example Fast 6 in the United Kingdom where I live Drew  $4.4 million during its opening day  the biggest opening day for both The Fast and the Furious franchise and Universal in that market (source WebCitation.org) The Rock is a huge part of the film and should take a lot of credit on re-energising the franchise.   The Assentation of The Rock as a truly Global Powerhouse is why WWE needed him for Wrestlemania 29 and also the Wrestlem...

John Cena - Best Worker Ever......Brother

John Cena - Best Worker Ever......Brother   John Cena first appeared on our screens in 2002 in an Era of "Ruthless Aggression" and had his debut match against Kurt Angle on WWE Television since then Cena has gone through a few character changes and has gone from coloured wrestling shorts to a rapper making rhymes and telling the world that you cant see me, to telling us all about Hustle, Loyalty and Respect and giving us the message to Rise Above Hate.   Talking of Hate....Love or Hate him John Cena he is the poster boy for WWE. John Cena Works hard not just in the ring but out the ring as well, doing many appearances for Make a Wish Foundation, Meeting lots of children to doing lots of media interviews and he continues to push the WWE brand forward. The Kids love John Cena.   Personally I'm not a John Cena fan merely because Cena does not appeal to me in WWE TV Cena Entertains the fans and is a true star but as far as wrestling skill goes in this...
