WWE Smackdown results for June 28, 2013-Payback's Still in Toll

Dublin Street Fight
Sheamus showed Damien Sandow how they give people beatdowns in Dublin. Although Damien did trashh the ringside decorations for the match, Sheamus was able to deafeat the "Intellectual Savior of the Masses" via the Brogue Kick for the win.
Natalya def WWE Divas Champion A.J. Lee 
They say that imitation the deepest form of flattery. That's exactly what showed during this encounter between longtime rivals in Nattie and A.J. But, it was the action that was going on inside the ring, it was outside of the ring. this photo explains it all:
Kaitlyn made crazy accusations about A.J. dating various employees in WWE, including Lilian Garcia. Oh, didn;t know A.J. was bisexual.... Anyways, Nattie took adavantage of the distraction and pinned A.J. for the win. Kaitlyn then attacked A.J. with the spear.


Randy Orton def Kane
In a good back-and-forth match, Orton def Kane off the distraction from Daniel Bryan, who was seemingly trying to help Kane. He then walked away from Kane, as if he was glad about what he did. Does this mean a heel turn for Bryan?


Ryback def Justin Gabriel
Ryback defeated Justin Gabriel in a squash match. Oh, why am I not surprised....


6 Man Tag Team Match: Christian & The Usos def The Shield
The Shield suffered their second loss last night. "There will be no peace for the revolution". Justice will be served. I also have a trending promo video made by Dean Ambrose and his comrades below as well.




Segments

Impact Wrestling results for June 27, 2013-A Turn for the Uncertainty

A Shocking Twist: Suicide (Austin Aries) def Kenny King & Chris Sabin to win the X Division Championship
This edition of Impact has had a turn of uncertainty when it comes to the future of World title contender-ship.  What I mean by that is "A-Double" Austin Aries posing as Suicide (which is really portrayed by T.J. Perkins) to win the X Division title for the second time. This was really smart on his part, because he set up "Option C", which gives the X Division the chance to cash in their title to go for the World title. When he revealed to be "Suicide", it was shocking to both Hogan and World Champion Bully Ray. Mostly because of the fact that A-Double's in the Bound For Glory Series and that he's practically cheating his way into a World title shot. The way he portrayed Suicide was great, it really made me think that he was Suicide. I like where this is going, but let's see if Aries' actually able to win the World title for the second time. And if he were to do that, what would that mean for the Bound For Glory series?

It's GutCheck time!: Adam O'Reiher def Brian Howe
This was a short but impressive match for O'Reiher. He made his present known for his immense size and intimidating presence. Howe on the other hand wasn't able to get a good offense going. O'Reiher picked up the win via powerslam over the guitar playing wrestler. We will find out next week if O'Reiher or Howe will get a shot at a TNA contract.

Bound For Glory Series Match: Magnus def Bobby Roode to earn 7 pts
Magnus has a big lead so far in the BFG series with 17 points. Following up with the submission win over Kazarian, he defeats the self-proclaimed "IT Factor" to rack up 7 more points.
Knockouts Championship: Mickie James def Velvet Sky to retain
First off, I want to say that I'm glad that Mickie James is a heel. It's good to see her take on the villain side of herself again. Brings back memories. She defeated Velvet via the modified STF to retain.
Bound For Glory Series Match: Samoa Joe def Mr. Anderson via submission to ear 10 pts
In what seems to be a good back-and-forth main event, the main highlight is when Samoa Joe was revealed to be the newest member of the reforming Main Event Mafia. He got the back up of Angle & Sting while earn 10 pts via Rear Naked Choke.

Don't just read the results, watch as well for review, for fun, and especially if you missed it!

Things I Want To See Happen In Pro Wrestling This Summer (WWE, TNA, ROH, indies)

Well, the summer has hit and wrestling's about to get hot. I want to express my opinions about what I want to see go down in the top wrestling promotions in America and what I would like to see happen on the indy curcuit as well.


WWE
Coming off of a momentous Payback pay-per-view (along with a great RAW, Smackdown, then another RAW episode), WWE has gained some good and fresh momentum that we haven't seen in a long time. They're actually giving the Divas division some time in the light (when it comes to the A.J./Kaitlyn rivalry) and there are some other major feuds and returns going on. Although they made some bad moves, most notably Dolph Ziggler losing the World Heavyweight Championship after an only 2 month reign and being out due to an concussion. To me, he should have never defended the title due to the fact that he wasn't all 100%.

Other notable feuds going on are between Cena/Henry (who tricked many people worldwide into thinking that he was retiring). Now, a difference a week can make in pro wrestling! Last week, Henry had what seemed an Emmy award-winning promo about him retiring and ultimately tricking us! Then, the next week, the promo he cut lost almost all the momentum that he carried throughout that whole week. Don't get me started on Cena. It's the same old, same old stuff! His promos aren't really that interesting either. The only times that I found his promos to be interesting is when he was the self-proclaimed "Dr. of Thuganomics". Despite all that, kinda interested to see what goes down between these two building up to MITB and WWE's summer in general.

TNA
TNA has really improved over the last 2 years since changing their show name to Impact Wrestling and beginning the "Wrestling Matters". Although they're still seen by many fans as "WWE's Biggest Imitator", they've really made incredible strides when it comes to promotion, instant updates, and always keeping their fans up-to-date with what's going on in their company. They have exceeded in attendance rates since announcing they are travelling more on the road (since they needed to, because of the fact of them having ALL their events in the Impact Zone wasn't really helping them), so they can reach out to more fans.

Capping off a great Slammiversary 11 pay-per-view and the start of their annual Bound For Glory Series, there have been some ongoing feuds here and there.

Firstly, the Knockouts have two feuds going on which is always good for a women's division. I'm speaking of Terrell/Kim & Sky/James. Taryn Terrell's feud with Gail Kim has really gave her the big push in her career that she needed. After her show-stealing  match with Gail Kim in a Last Knockouts Standing match at Slammiversary, it really gained her some respect from the fans and fellow TNA wrestlers. And to think that she wasn't really anything but eyecandy for the male fans to gape adoringly in the WWE. Now, she's competing in Last KO Standing & Ladder matches.

Also, other feuds that are going on are the Aces & Eights/Main Event Mafia. I'm not all that interested in this one. Mostly, because of the fact that TNA's had too many invasions in their 11 year history. You had Immortal, Fortune, the Mafia, Christian's Coalition, and now Aces & Eights. The whole thing is really getting old. Although I can say that it's had it's unpredictable moments, like D Lo Brown and Taz of all people joining the group, but the whole isn't "refreshing" to me.

I'm also really excited for what TNA's gonna do this summer and what they're gonna do when it comes to their feuds and storylines and how far they're gonna take them. I know that their fanbase is gonna grow with each passing week!

ROH & the Indies 
Every since ROH began airing on Sinclair Broadcasting, more people have began to watch it. They have some of the best pro wrestlers on the planet, an outstanding tag team division, and many young blue clip stars on the roster. But, the only thing I'm concerned about is the so-called "Women of Honor" division. I remember back in 2006, they had MsChif, Sara Del Rey, Daizee Haze, Awesone Kong, and various others wrestling for them on their shows and iPPV (when they first came out), because of the fact that they wrestled for ROH's longtime sister promotion, Shimmer Women Athletes. Nowadays, MsChif has been the target of young women's wrestlers such as Athena, Allyson Kay, Cherry Bomb, and most notably Veda Scott. ROH has a chance to make a legitimate division and face off with the other top 2 companies in America. They've had some great pay-per-views and classic matches already this year, and who knows how far their great matches and momentum can take them.

Indies 
As far as the indies go, they have the tools to get their work and shows out to the fans with YouTube, Facebook, Twitter (especially), etc. All I can say is that if they want to get their work out there, use the social networking sites. It NEVER letts you down.

WWE Monday Night RAW (June 24th, 2013)-My Thoughts and Analysis (part 2)

Sorry for being so late on part 2! Didn't have the chance to. In this second part, I'm going to tell my thoughts on certain segments that really caught my attention and my thoughts of the WWE Championship MITB match. Here it goes....




  • AJ Lee's Imitation of Kaitlyn w/ Big E. Langston  They said that imitation the biggest form of flattery, and in this promo it proved this quote right. To me, this was really golden and it gave the Divas some attention. This rivalry between AJ and Kaitlyn have been the talk of WWE since the "Pin Up Strong" era involving Divas of Doom members Natalya & Beth Phoenix. WWE can take this rivalry to new heights, and turn up the heat in the Divas division just a little. I commend A.J. for the use of a body suit to really up the ante when it came to the imitation. It was really funny as well! I'm really glad that A.J.'s Divas Champion, and I can't wait to see what she does as champion.
  • Mark Henry's "Explanation" of his feigning retirement  In my opinion, this promo really killed Henry's momentum. Let's just say this promo ended his "15 minutes of fame". Just to think the week before, he had ALL of us fooled! Many fans said he deserved an Emmy for it. Anyways, the only thing that I liked about it is when he said, "I know I look good. This ain't no Men's warehouse!". Other than that, the promo wasn't really that momentum-building for Henry going in to face Cena for the WWE title at MITB.
  • John Cena's Reaction to Henry feigning his Retirement  Cena's promo wasn't all the intriguing to me either, but this is why I'm blogging about this: to court my opinions about certain things. Like "hits" and "misses". Anyways, the thing I didn't like about this is the fact that he just had to review the WHOLE 50 year history of the WWE Championship. Like come on, dude! Many of us fans out there know this already. I really don't know what to say about this one, but as always, his promos are based on "Hustle. Loyalty. Respect.". Let's see what goes down between these two during the weeks before MITB...
  • CM Punk/Paul Heyman Confrontation  This segment was the one of the main highlights of the night. Once again, CM Punk cuts an golden promo! This all came to an head, because of Punk getting attacked last week by longtime "Paul Heyman guy" Brock Lesnar. The attack made Punk suspicious of Heyman, because earlier that night Punk asked him not to be at ringside because of him almost costing him his match against Chris Jericho in his hometown return at WWE Payback. In the promo, Punk goes on about how Heyman helped him get into WWE and claims that he "wasn't supposed to be ssuccesful in WWE". Heyman had kept him in OVW despite the fact that WWE officials didn't want wrestlers like him in WWE. After he cuts the promo beautifully, Heyman then says that he had nothing to do with Brock Lesnar coming back to attack him. Although he had doubt in his eyes, Punk believed him and the segment ended when the two seemingly "hugging it out".

Now, on to my Money in the Bank thoughts.....




Check out the picture above. This is an All-Star MITB match. 7 former World and/or WWE Champions are in this match. Combine their World title reigns and there would be 24 total reigns:
  • Sheamus (2 WWE, 1 World)
  • CM Punk (3 World, 2 WWE)
  • Daniel Bryan (1 World)
  • Kane (1 WWE, 2 World)
  • Randy Orton (6 WWE, 3 World)
  • Rob Van Dam (1 WWE)
  • Christian (2 World)
I'm really stoked about this one! It's really hard to tell who's gonna win. Matter of fact, it's hard for me to choose. Let's see... After an amazing reign with the WWE title for 434 days and two back-to-back wins in the MITB endeavor, you would think Punk would have this in the back of his pocket. But, you can't forget Daniel Bryan's momentum, and who also successfully cashed in his MITB contract on Big Shoe back in WWE TLC in December of 2011 to win the World Heavyweight Championship. Kane cahsed in his MTB contract on the same night on Rey Mysterio in 2010 to win the World Heavyweight Championship. Finally, many fans want to see RVD pick up the win. Firstly, I wouldn't mind that at all, but what does the man have left to prove? He's won the title already and back in his heyday with the WWE, he held almost all the sanctioned male titles there were and defunted two of them due to unfying them with the Intercontinental Championship (those titles being the European and Hardcore titles). Despite that, this should really be an eye opener for all the RVD fans and fans of the MITB Ladder match in general.

WWE Monday Night Raw Results, My Thoughts and Analysis- June 24th, 2013 (part 1)

Good morning! Today I want to express my opinions on RAW and hopefully you like it!

Quick Results:

  • Sheamus & Christian def Team Rhodes Scholars
  • Kaitlyn (w/ Layla) def Aksana
  • Chris Jericho def WHC Alberto Del Rio via DQ
  • Ryback def The Great Khali
  • 3 Way #1 Contender's Match:  The Usos def Tons of Funk & 3MB to become #1 contenders for the WWE Tag Team titles
  • CM Punk def Darren Young (w/ Titus O'Neil) via Submission
  • Street Fight:  Daniel Bryan def Randy Orton via Submission (in overtime)
*Earlier that night, their match ended in a double disqualification*

First, I will give you my thoughts on the matches, then I'll give you thought on the WWE Championship MITB participants and my thoughts on segments/promos.

  1. Sheamus & Christian vs Team Rhodes Scholars Now, at first I wasn't interested in this match. MOSTLY because of the feud between Sheamus and one-half of Team Rhodes Scholars, Damien Sandow. It just seems like Sheamus is falling to the mid-card, despite the fact of him being a former WWE & World Champion. And above all that, he is NOT good as a face (and said by many fans, many times). The "up" factor about this match is the returning Christian, who was out for 10 months due to an knee injury. Of course, we knew what the outcome of this match was going to be, when Sheamus pinned Cody Rhodes for win after his trademark Brogue Kick.
  2. Kaitlyn (w/ Layla) vs Aksana Coming in after a devastating loss to her former best friend and new Divas Champion AJ Lee in a Divas Championship match, Kaitlyn is in a chaotic frenzy of sorts. The thing I get is why she's constantly being out in a match with Aksana. Newsflash, she's not the only heel Diva  in the back. Anyways, it was a short match with the highlight being Kaitlyn's music playing despite the fact that she's already in the ring. A.J. Lee comes out, with a buff-like bulletproof suit dressed as Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn def Aksana via Spear, despite the distraction. (I'll give my thoughts on A.J.'s segment later)
  3. Chris Jericho vs WHC Alberto Del Rio (w/ Ricardo Rodriguez) Although I'm still very upset about Dolph Ziggler losing the title to Del Rio (in which I still don't understand why they put the title back on him), it's in the record books now so there's really nothing that we can do about it. Now, on the match. Even though I'm not really a fan of Del Rio (sorry to Del Rio fans), this turned out to be a pretty decent back-and-forth match. I really wanted to see a clean win from one of those two, but Ricardo comes in and hits Jericho in the back with his bucket to give Jericho the DQ win. Dolph Ziggler then comes out and attacks Del Rio with the " Zig-Zag", while Jericho hit the "Codebreaker" on Ricardo. After Del rio & Ricardo scrammed, Ziggy hit Jericho with the "Zig-Zag", effectively making him a tweener.
  4. Ryback vs The Great Khali (w/ Natalya & Hornswoggle) Well, you didn't have to look hard to know who was gonna win this one. Although I have to say, The Great Khali was pretty good in this one, using his height and weight to an advantage over Ryback. The highlight of this is when Ryback muscled up every bit of the 430 lb behemoth and successfully executing the "Shell-shock" for the win.
  5. 3 Way #1 Contender's Match:The Usos vs 3MB vs Tons of Funk This match was relatively short one. Which shows why WWE has a no good tag team division. One little highlight is Brodus Clay showing his agile side, with the 368-pounder flying down on 3MB. The Usos, however picked up the win and the contender-ship via the Superfly Splash. Then, the "Hounds of Justice" The Shield would come out, with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins raise their title belts with the "We're ready for ya!" look on their faces. That's why I Believe in The Shield.
  6. CM Punk vs Darren Young (w/ Titus O'Neil) There's no good reason that this match should have been put on the card. First off, Darren Young has nothing for CM Punk. Secondly, CM Punk's a main   eventer and top star in WWE. It was pretty decent, Darren Young showing off some moves from his arsenal. It ended when Darren Young tapped out almost immediately to Punk's trademark Ananconda Vise. After the match, Punk was attacked by the Primetime Players. Then, another "Paul Heyman guy" and IC Champion Curtis Axel comes to the aid of Punk. Backstage, Paul Heyman said he sent Axel to help Punk to show that he's faithful to Punk. This sets up a tag team match for next week's RAW: Axel & Punk vs The Primetime Players.
  7. Main Event Street Fight: Daniel Bryan vs Randy Orton This match was a great one! This a good and fresh rivalry (aside from Ryback and Cena) and these two work really well together to make their matches play out for good television. I liked the use if a Kendo Stick in the match, both men using it effectively. The bumps that they both took through tables were well sold. The match went into overtime, which shows how back-and-forth this contest was. It all ended when Bryan defeated Orton via the "No!" lock (while using the Kendo Stick for extra leverage). After the match, they both shook hands and the show ended with Daniel Bryan yelling "YES!" in victory.
I'll be back with Part 2 of my thoughts and analysis. Hope you liked part 1!

Rain, Rain Go Away.....

Sometimes I love the rain. Sometimes I hate it with a burning passion. Today's one of those days that I hate it! It makes me lose my sense of thought and it makes me really sleepy despite the fact that it's not bedtime yet. UGH, it really gets on my nerves sometimes. Good thing that I'm going to the beach on Friday! Here's something I made with my seashells (below).
Pretty cool, huh? Made it in tribute to The Shield, a fantastic trio in the WWE right now! I mark for those guys every day. 

Back to the rainy day. My mom said we may not be going to the beach because of her friend having to work. Really doesn't matter to me, because I know we're gonna wound up going anyways. Just thinking about the beach makes me forget about it even raining on and off outside.

On to the wrestling..... 

WWE Monday Night Raw comes on tonight at 8 pm! Big things to be expected: 
  • Paul Heyman (or Brock Lesnar's)'s explanation for Lesnar's attack on CM Punk last week on RAW.
  • Which McMahon (and Triple H) will Vickie Guerrero and Brad Maddox will give their loyalty to and follow by?
  • What's next for The Shield?
  • What's John Cena's reaction to Mark Henry feigning his retirement?
  • What's next for the "Black Widow" and Divas Champion, AJ Lee and Dolph Ziggler?
Guess we gotta find this out and more tonight on RAW! Tomorrow, I'll express my analysis and reaction about the show. BESOS! :)

From Nothing to Wow, I Really did this.....

I want to talk about the picture on the right. To be more specific, the man on the left of the picture. Dean Ambrose, the man who exemplifies the name of this post. He's truly someone who went from nothing to "Wow,I really did this....". Growing up with a mom who was some sort of a addict whore (excuse my French) and whose dad was little to never in his life, it's really tough stuff. I mean, he wasn't the only one that went through it, because it happens everyday, but not many people make it to the high and peaceful point of life that they want to be.

Beginning his career in 2004 on the budding independent curcuit, he wrestled for the Heartland Wrestling Association, winning their heavyweight title 3 times and their tag team title 5 times with various partners. Since then, he has developed an outspoken and demented persona that will forever be known as "The Street Dog" Jon Moxley. He has had infamous rivalries with the Knaptown Dragons, Jimmy Jacobs, Egotistico Fantastico, Nick F'N Gage, Bryan Danielson (Daniel Bryan in WWE), Austin Aries, and various others. He's also remembered for teaming with Sami Callihan as the Switchblade Conspiracy.

Here are some infamous promos cut by Jon Moxley, including this two part compilation:



This is the picture that showed that ALL his work has paid off (below).


So, you see? Just because someone's living environment or how their parent(s) put food on the table wasn't good (or didn't live up to others' definition of good), doesn't mean that they won't make it in life, it just means   that they just have to work harder than most people to prove their selves and that's exactly what Ambrose did.

I bet he looks back on his early days and looks at himself in the mirror and says "Wow, I really did this, even though I never thought I would.". God Bless, Ambrose! 

Total Randomness :)

Hi! My name is Kianna. I decided to take after one of my favorite wrestlers of all time, Tyler Black (now known as Seth Rollins in the WWE) in starting a blog. I'm new to this whole blogging thing, so I decided to do this just to keep me entertained this summer! First off, I just want to tell a couple of things about myself:


Pro Wrestling: I'm a die hard wrestling fan (hence's the name of my blogspot). I watch anything from WWE to the local indies, and some of my faves are: WWE, TNA, ROH, NJPW, AAA, CMLL, Pro Wrestling Noah, CZW, PWG, FWE, and so many more! Wrestling is more than a sport to me, it's my life. I really want to do this when I grow up. It's an escape from my normality, and I just love watching larger-than-life men and women get in the squared circle and give the fans their money's worth. Some of my inspirations are: Kenta Kobashi, Manami Toyota, A.J. Styles, Jon Moxley (Dean Ambrose), Tyler Black (Seth Rollins), Sabu, The Sandman, Sara Del Rey, C.M. Punk, etc. Finally, if you quiz me on pro wrestling facts, 9.7 times out of 10 I'll get it right.... plus, NO FANGIRLING!!! :)


Now, on to my hobbies.....


Hobbies: My favorite things to do are: Read, Write, Dance (not TWERKING), play musical instruments, Running, Meeting new people, and more! I'm a MMA/Wrestling Enthusiast and proud of it! I'm straight-edge (no drinking, no drugs, no alcohol, no free sex) and I've stayed on that belief for four years (courtesy of  C.M. Punk). I love the lifestyle and I'm proud to say that I live that way.

Here comes the music....


Music/Genres:  When it comes to music, I listen to EVERYTHING! And when I say everything, I mean just that. I listen to Reggae, Reggaeton, Gospel, Metal, Rock, Punk, Trance/Progressive House, Grunge, Indie Rock, Salsa, Bachata, and more! This song REALLY pumps me up to start my day!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYByHJZCbeY  <------ Antivist by Bring Me The Horizon

MMA:  I've only been watching MMA since 2008, and there have been some fighters that really caught my attention. Like Jon "Bones" Jones for instance. This guy to me has one of the brightest futures in MMA right now. He's the youngest Light Heavyweigght Champion in UFC and has turned down world class fighters such as Lyoto Machida and Chael Sonnen to successfully retain his title. My all-time fave is Anderson "The Spider" Silva, who has had 10 successful title defenses against some of the top Middleweights in the world since he won the title back in 2006, thus having one of the greatest title reigns in MMA history.

Well, that's what I'm about! I hope you find my blog at least a bit interesting! This is me, by the way. :)
