Hulk Hogan is back in WWE & hosting Wrestlemania 30

Hulk Hogan is back in WWE & hosting Wrestlemania 30 Hulk Hogan finally made his return to WWE in Green Bay  after being in TNA Impact Wrestling since 2010. Hulk Hogan is returning to WWE at the perfect time for the company and also for himself. Hulk Hogan finished up with TNA a few months ago and there were lots of rumours around whether Hogan would return or not, Hogan stated recently in an interview with wwe.com regarding his return "Over the last couple years, there’ll be texts between Vince and I. “Happy birthday brother!” on August 24th, his birthday. Christmas, Thanksgiving. We’ll touch base like that. And then I guess the word got out that I was jobless. I didn’t know what I was going to do. I was thinking of going back to playing music or something. On a Tuesday, I was officially out of work. And Friday morning I was drinking my coffee and I hear my cell phone. And it was Triple H. “Hey brother, just checking on you.” I’m like, “Hey, dude, I’m just contemp...

My Memories CM Punk in WWE 2006-2014

CM Punk Best Moments in WWE 2006-2014 So it seems we have come to the end, CM Punk has left WWE and told Vince Mcmahon that he was reportedly "going home" and that he would not be on live events going forward  I am going to focus on some of the career highlights  from my perspective of CM Punk throughout his career in WWE and go over some of my favourite moments. remeber these are my memories as a wrestling fan, yours may be different but these are the moments that mean something to me. CM Punk debut in WWE CM Punk Debuted on ECW against Justin Credible, the crowd really helped set the scene for CM Punk in this match as the moment he walked out he already felt like a star, perception counts for a lot in wrestling and with the fans already cheering punk although most WWE fans had never seen him before it made punk feel like a star from day one, click the video below to watch Punk in his first match CM Punk wins the ECW Championship CM P:unk gained h...

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...

Randy Orton Legend Killer Years 2002-2005       Randy Orton right now is one of the top wrestlers in WWE. Randy Orton has millions of fans around the world and also has been a star in WWE and been a WWE and World Heavyweight Champion. I'd like to take a look back at some of his career moments that have stood out to me so far and his Ascension to the top of WWE.    The Debut   Randy Arrived in WWE During the Ruthless Aggression Era in WWE and his first match was against Hardcore Holly (Bob Holly) on Smackdown Randy defeated Holly with a roll up pin to secure his first win in WWE See the video below to see Orton in his first appearance in WWE.     Later in 2002 Randy Orton got drafted to WWE Raw Brand then Randy Orton got injured and hurt his arm and shoulder. I remember seeing at the time these Randy News Network promos where Randy Would talk about himself and update everyone on his inj...

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...

Wrestlemania 29 :What Happens to Swagger?

 Wrestlemania 29 :What Happens to Swagger? As Always below is all my thoughts as a wrestling fan, I'm not an expert nor do I proclaim to be one. Please Enjoy After the recent arrest of Jack swagger for DUI and being in possession of marijuana. WWE will have to look again at the world championship main event scheduled to be Swagger vs Del Rio. Its a shame that Jack got himself into this mess otherwise we could of had an interesting program and event at wrestlemania. I hope that wwe keep Swagger in this match and carry on the path that they are on, however if past history is anything to go by Swagger will be out. There are lots of options out there at the moment if a change of opponent is the way that WWE go. So who do.you put into the main event with Alberto Del Rio? You could go for Randy Orton. It has been long speculated that  Orton would turn heel and this could be a great opportunity to do it and could greatly benefit Randy Orton and lead to another title ...
