Interview with Simply Dvyne

Simply Dvyne.jpg
MEBD: How long have you been wrestling
SD: I have been in the business for 5 years. I have been wrestling consecutively for 2 years
MEBD: When did you first decide to get into the business and why
SD: I have always loved the business and I was motivated by Trish Stratus to get into this sport. Me and Trish (at the time) was the same size. I felt that if she can do it, so can I. I started looking for a gym and found ACPW (American Championship Pro-Wrestling) gym in Fishtown, Philadelphia, PA and after 1 year there I finished my training at Devastation Wrestling Federation University, in Pennsauken, NJ to which I still train to this day.
MEBD: Who was your favorite growing up and why
SD: I always loved Triple H. Triple H had so many personalities and characters and like me, went through many changes in his career before he actually made it. I loved the fact that he wasn't the most liked nor the most hated wrestler, he was a wrestler that many people didn't get onto until it was impossible not to get him. I look up to him alot.
MEBD: They everyone has their "mark out" moments, when was your biggest?
SD: My mark out moment for sure was when I attended a live Raw in Philadelphia. The match was a cage match between Kane and Edge and all of a sudden, I feel a tap on my shoulder. It was Matt Hardy. He asked me to stand there until he told me to move. He told me to move and then he charged the ring and beat up on Edge. This was during the time Matt was crashing Raw and Smackdown to attack Edge for sleeping with Lita.
MEBD: How do you manage your personal life and professional life especially as a married woman?
SD: It is relatively easy believe it or not. My husband is also in the business and he understands what I am doing and trying to accomplish, as he was in the business 15 years. I always include my husband and my son in every decision I make and I feel that without them this wouldn't be possible.
MEBD: Which promotions do you wrestler for?
SD: I have worked for WSU, DWF/LOCO, WXWC4, LVW, PPW, NEWF, NEFW, ARENACHICKS, ACPW, WWWA, SWO, DCW,MWF
MEBD: What would you say has been your best match and why?
SD: I would have to say my best match would be a tie btwn vs Kacee Carlisle and vs Gabby Gilbert. Those girls rock and they brought the best out of me. I can't wait to see what the future holds and I hope to wrestle them again in the near future :)
MEBD: Who is your favorite in the WWE right now and why? Have you met them?
SD: My favorite right now and always have been on the indy circuit was CM PUNK/PIN UP STRONG QUEENS BETH AND NATAYLA. These workers along with ROH's Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) and Evan Bourne shows that Indy Guys and Girls can make it in this business and doesn't need to be developed in a WWE/TNA farm to be over. They show that with hard work and dedication, you will make it to heights unknown to anyone but you. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting them but I hope to very soon.
MEBD: I see you are an active participant in wrestling groups on facebook, do a lot of the other fans know you are a wrestler and if so are you flooded with questions?
SD: Yes and No. Some people still doesn't realize I am a worker. I don't always throw it around however they respect my opinions. I have had alot of questions and requests and the response is good. I really enjoy being apart of these groups and reading what the fans want so that I know what I need to do for my own knowledge.
MEBD: Do you prefer to be cheered or booed?
SD: As long as they are paying attention, that's all that matters to me.
MEBD: What is your dream WrestleMania match?
SD: Natayla vs Beth Phoenix vs Kharma....epic!
CM Punk vs Chris Jericho...historic
MEBD: Anything you want to say to the fans?
SD: I would like to thank all you for making professional wrestling what it is today. Because of your dedication to this sport, it allows workers like myself and others to perform and travel out of our comfort zones and into your minds, hearts and souls. This is more than just a hobby or a sport, this is my life. I would love to perform for all of you one day and one day that will be a reality. Remember, believe in your dreams and never let anyone take away your dreams. Make your dreams a reality for yourself and the answers to the questions the haters ask.
MEBD: How can you be booked?
SD: You can reach me @ simplydvyne86@gmail.com

Interview with Lance Anoai



MEBD: When did you decide to get into the family business of professional wrestling?
LA: I decided to get into the family business right before my senior year in high school which was in 2009. My dream was always not to wrestle and just play baseball and try to go far in that.

MEBD: What was it like growing up in the wrestling business?
LA: Growing up in the wrestling businesss was hard at times but also pretty fun. It was hard because like my dad will be gone so my mom took care of me and my 2 sisters and then he will come home and spend time with us. Then it was fun because like now when I meet some of the old school wrestlers they be like last time I seen you was when you were riding on your dads suitcase lol. I hear that often. Yea my dad took me to a lot of the shows to show me off lol. 

MEBD: What was your favorite match growing up?
LA: really didn’t have a favorite match I just enjoyed watching my family wrestle. I was always a fan of The Rock, even though he is family I always wanted to be like him.

MEBD: Out of your family, who is your all time favorite wrestler and why?
LA: No favorite for me like I said I enjoy watching all of them. They were entertaining and knew how to put on a great show for all the fans. The rock was always doing the eye-brow and rakish always giving the stink face and dancing. I enjoyed them all when they were on tv but even now I still enjoy watching them.

MEBD: Afa Jr stated that when he was younger he had Hulk Hogan at his birthday and Vince McMahon gave him his first wrestling buddy, do you have any stories as a child of a WWE superstar?
LA: I don’t remember a lot when I was younger but one story my dad told me recently was when I was little me and Chris Hero always wrestler and one time we were doing it in the living room we broke the coffee table and my mom was up set .

MEBD: Recently there was a Yokozuna Memorial Show, what was your biggest memory of him outside of the business, and what was your favorite moment of his inside the business?
LA: I am young and he wrestled when I was a little kid and it was just hard to remember my favorite moment of inside the business but when I watch tapes I know I was at WrestleMania 9 and that’s when he won the belt and then lost it in the same night. My favorite Memorie outside the business was me always messing around with him and he always took us out to eat and then when we were done he always gave me $20 and I was a kid so I had this big smile on my face.

MEBD: What was it like teaming with your dad and Rikishi at the show?
LA: Teaming with them was probably my most memorable match. It was a pleasure to be in the ring with them they are legends and I got to tag with both of them. I know they are family but its like a dream come true. I was nervous at time because I was like I do not want to mess anything up which thank god I didn’t but while we are in the match rakish is giving me a few pointers like for me to slow down so that helped me out a lot and will continue to help me in my future.

MEBD: Was that your first time teaming with your dad?
LA: No my first time teaming with my dad was in Allentown,Pa our hometown. We did a tag team match against the Killer Studs and it was a very good match. Nervous at first because you never want to mess up in front of your dad and then get yelled at later for it but it turned out very well we just went out there and had a great time together. 

MEBD: How do you manage your personal life and your professional life?
LA: Me to manage both my lives is pretty tuff. I am a full time student and I also work and I wrestle. Wrestling for me is on Tuesday and Thursday nights. And I go to school Monday thru Thursday so its like no sleep for me. I try to make it to the gym as much as I can its hard to get around and when you are tired you just want to lay down, but I am going to start dedicating myself to the gym so I can become bigger for my professional career.

MEBD: What is your ultimate goal in this business?
LA: My ultimate goal in this business is what every other indepdent worker wants and that is a contract. I am hoping one day soon I will be able to get a WWE contract. Like many people say when the time is right you will. You always want your First impression to be your best impression so when my dad feels like I am ready I will have the opportunity.

MEBD: The situation, You are at WrestleMania, how do you make your WrestleMania moment and with whom do you make it with/against?
LA: My WrestleMania Moment would have to be Me and my uncle Afa Jr vs. Brent Dibiase and Ted Dibiase. I think it would be a battle of generations and it willl look real good because we all are enjoying what our families loved to do in there life.

MEBD: What has been the most memorable moment in your career so far and why?
LA: My most memorable moment in my career so far was this past Yokozuna Show. Like getting the chance to wrestle in front of a big crowd and for a special occasion was just so special to me. Then to top it all off I got to tag with my dad and Rikishi so That was the most memorable moment in my life.

MEBD: What has been your best match?
LA: My best match was probably me and Afa Jr. vs. A.C. Anderson and Havoc at the time me and Afa were having a family fued so we got stuck tagging with each other. It was fun and crazy like he tried doing something then I tried to top it we were just going back and forth and then I got beat up for being the little guy but hey its wrestling. I remember my girlfriend and her family just screaming for me to make the tag and Afa was pulling his hand back and forth so I would not beable to make the tag. But at the end we were all safe and it was a hell of a match we put on for all the fans.
MEBD: What can we expect from you in the future?
LA: You can expect a college degree and hopefully a WWE superstar in the future. So lets hope everything goes as planned.

Robert Roode, a Real Superstar whether Hogan says it or not



If anyone knows Mr Main Event BDuB like they claim they do, they understand that I am one of the biggest Hulkamaniacs in the world. But one thing in this world I understand, not all good things last forever. Hulkamania is one of them. Sure I was happy to see Hogan return to the WWE in 2002 and become undisputed champion. Sure I was happy to see him become apart of TNA and hoping that he could possibly turn the company into a legit competitor for the WWE. But I do understand that he should not be a "power of be."

What should a superstar possess in the world of professional wrestling? They must have in-ring ability, regardless whether or not they use it every match like Ric Flair did. They must have charisma, the ability to make you love them or love to hate them. They must have microphone skills, the ability to make a crowd listen and be captured by their words.

Personally, I do not watch TNA as much as the average person. The product is simply hard to follow and become attached to. This is my opinion. However, I will never forget the night that I saw that Robert Roode and he captured me by his words. On this night he told Hogan face to face that they say you should never meet your childhood idols, because they will disappoint you. The way he approached the microphone and stood toe to toe with the biggest icon in the history of professional wrestling truly displayed that he was ready. A few weeks later, Hogan himself went on a radio show and indicated that Roode has a bright future in this business. Then months later he stated that Roode is not ready, and is a mid-carder at best. Really?

As "The Real" Dwayne Allen (dwayneallen24 on twitter) said, "great players do not make great coaches, look at Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson." The point he is making, these guys think because they are talented and were also  hard workers, that no matter how much you work if you are not talented, then you will not achieve the same type of success. We all witnessed what Hogan, Bischoff and Russo did to WCW. A company that stood to toe to toe with Vince McMahon go straight down the drain in less than 3 years. Will Roode ever reach Hulkamania status, probably not. But he surely has the potential to rise to the occasion and bring new life into TNA. With a guy like that on the Horizon, and Triple H in the front office of the WWE, one can only imagine what he could do on a stage like WrestleMania!

Mr Main Event's Predictions for WWE Night of Champions

Fatal 4-Way U.S. Championship Match 
Dolph Ziggler (C) vs Alex Riley vs Jack Swagger vs John Morrison
In this matchup, Ziggler has his back against the wall. Going against three other phenomenal athletes. This match actually has a chance to steal the show, well it may not be that good, but you get the point. I have often said that Ziggler is the future and in this match he will prove it but escaping with a close victory.

World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton (C) vs. Mark Henry
This should be a great match and the climax to Mark Henry's Hall of Pain. Orton may have been hot all summer, but so has Henry and what better way for him to end the summer than winning the World Heavyweight Championship. In my opinion, Mark Henry does the unthinkable after 15 years out of the limelight and becomes the new World Heavyweight Champion.

WWE Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne (c) vs. The Miz & R-Truth
Ladies and Gentleman, for the first time since 2009, I am actually looking forward to a Tag Team Title Match. I respect the team of "Air-Boom," and The Miz & R-Truth are my favorite wrestlers on Raw. A lot of people feel that they are being buried, and rightfully so, however, with these two being a team in the hunt for gold, I feel that they are still being kept relevant, and mentioning Triple H's name also keeps them relevant. However, I believe Air Boom will hold on the titles, and this will be an ongoing feud between the two teams.

Divas Champion Kelly Kelly (c) vs. Beth Phoenix
In order for the Divas of Doom to be effective, Beth Phoenix must win this one. Kelly Kelly has had the title long enough and in my opinion, her reign ends this Sunday.

WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. John Cena
Alberto Del Rio was exposed by the Hitman Bret Hart on the "go-home" episode of Raw. Bret told Del Rio what CM Punk and Cena told him a couple of weeks after he won the title, and that is now that he has the belt he must act like a champion. He needs to prove to everyone why we should care that he is the WWE Champion. If he can wrestle in a good match with John Cena, then maybe he will prove everyone right. In my opinion, Del Rio wins in a controversial matter.

CM Punk vs. Triple H (No Disqualification Match)
This match will be very personal. Many are saying this is too early, but one thing I have said and will continue to believe, CM Punk claimed he was burned out and under-appreciated. Because of this, he threatened not to resign his WWE contract. The WWE went through hoops just to resign him, and Punk claims that he has received some "perks." Because of that, I know that there has to be something bigger in the future for Punk. As far as this match, with Triple H's position in the company on the line, I think that some way Punk will get screwed which will set him up for a rematch.

Interview with C-NOTE MAC (C-LO MAC" of BROOKLYN'S MOST FAMOUS)




Mr Main Event BDUB had the pleasure of catching up with C-Note Mac, you may know him as C-LO Mac of Brooklyn’s Most Famous. Check out this interview as he discusses how he became a professional wrestler, who inspired him and why he feel he can change the perception of black wrestlers.
MEBD How long have you been a wrestling fan, and when did you first decide to become apart of the business?
C Note I’ve been a fan of professional wrestling my entire life NO LIE! & I decided to make a career of it in the fall of 2006.
MEBD: Who is your favorite WWE Superstar of all time and why?
C-Note: This is a tough one I swear but…I would have to say Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart. I was drawn to the Hart Foundation from the first time I saw them on television. As I got older & was able to comprehend the aspects of pro wrestling Bret Hart stood out even more & not because of his pink tights or catch phrases but because of his in-ring workmanship.
MEBD: What was your favorite match of all time and why?
C-Note: WRESTLEMANIA XX… Benoit v HHH v HBK for the World Heavyweight Championship,I love this match & always will because it told three different stories involving three “STUDENTS of THE GAME” on the biggest stage at an historic venue & in my personal opinion it elevated all three athletes for the better.
MEBD: Who were you trained by?
C-Note WWE Hall of Famer “The Unpredictable” Johnny Rodz.
MEBD: What do you think of the business today as compared to the way it was growing up?
C-Note: Today everybody is GREEN everyone thinks because their a FAN or a “MARK” that they know it all. No one wants to pay their dues & work hard anymore. In terms of the business of back in the day I feel those guys worked the hardest & respected their fellow wrestler in this great brother/sister hood known as PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING.
MEBD: Which professional wrestlers have you met, and how did they influence your career?
C-Note: I’ve met several legends along the way but meeting PAT PATTERSON & “SUPER FLY” JIMMY SNUKA still stands out & compares to no other encounter to this day. Patterson told me to always hit the ring with the same passion I had as a kid watching wrestling,and that always sticks out everytime my music hits & its time to go to work. SNUKA said to remember to always entertain “CUZ BROTHA IF YOU CAN’T DRAW THE PROMOTER WON’T CALL YOU NO MAW (more)”.
MEBD: Can you describe the feeling of walking inside the squared circle and hear fans cheering or booing?
C-Note: I honestly very humbling yet exciting experience I think a person can ever feel.
MEBD: Do you prefer to be cheered or booed?
C-Note: They can CHEER or BOO me,either way they paid to see me,I didn’t pay to see them sit there & watch my every move.
MEBD: Which promotions do you wrestle for?
C-Note: I wrestle for TRU WRESTLING and ULIMITED CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING.
MEBD: How can fans find footage of you?
C-Note: Right now fans can look for me & my tag team of Youtube search: Brooklyn’s Most Famous
MEBD: On Monday Nights you participate in the Wrestling Wrealm conversation on facebook, how often do you become apart of debates about professional wrestling being “real”
C-Note:I try to join the debates as much as possible not only are they entertaining they actually open up your eyes to others views.
MEBD: Most people look at the business from a different aspect once they become a professional wrestler, how did it change for you?
C-Note: HELL YEAH!…I didn’t know so many wrestlers were & are so insecure and how much politics really does play a major part behind the scenes.
MEBD: How do you think that the internet has changed professional wrestling?
C-Note: The internet has changed pro wrestling for the better for a true fan as for a fan that lives in “kayfabe” the internet is the worst invention ever. Internet allows you to know things ahead of time and gives u results of taped programming & I personally appreciate that.
MEBD:What is your ultimate goal in this business?
C-Note: My ultimate goal is to change PROFESSIAL WRESTLING’S outlook on the “BLACK WRESTLER”.
MEBD: A lot of people feel that black wrestlers are not marketable, what would you do different that could change that statement?
C-Note: I believe in being the rage against the machine. I will do all I can to change that preception. Unfortunately when bookers & creative writing teams control the wrestler’s direction there’s nothing much else one can do.
MEBD: Do you have anything that you would like to say to the fans?
C-Note: To each & every fan out there its because of you that I entertain. I once was a fan of wrestling & now I am a wrestler who is a fan of all u guys/gals who come to shows & support pro wrestling. I tell everyone this quote so it applys… “IF YOU STOP DREAMING THEN YOU’VE STOPPED BELIEVING.”
MEBD: How can they reach you, and how can promoters reach you to be booked?
C-Note: I’m social network addict, Follow me on twitter @its_SPOTFACE I also have facebook search Chris Spotface McClain. Promoters can either reach me on twitter & facebook or they can email me at SPOTFACEmixtape@gmail.com

Mr Main Event BDuB's Favorite Championship Belt Design






Growing up as a fan of the WWE, I have always desired to possess my own WWE Championship title belt. However, When the attitude era came, and the belt designed was changed to a more shiny version of the winged eagle, it has and continues to be my favorit design. I love the flashy look, while maintaining its prestige. I still love the original winged eagle, but it is just something about that attitude era belt.

The winged eagle debuted after Hulk Hogan defeated Andre the Giant at WrestleMania 3 in 1987. At about age 10, I took an interest in actually owning my own personal belt, but never asked for one. When Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Shawn Michaels for the WWF championship at WrestleMania 14 in 1998, they introduced a more modern and flashy looking winged eagle. I loved this belt even more. No disrespect to the original winged eagle, but this belt was gorgeous.

Throughout 1998 and 1999, Stone Cold Steve Austin would become the first WWF Champion to personalize the title belt. He debuted the smoking skull belt. Stone Cold used this belt throughout his days as a fan favorite. After losing the title in 1999, he would not regain it until WrestleMania 17 in 2001, where he partnered with Vince McMahon and he would not bring back the Smoking Skull title.



In December 2001, Chris Jericho defeated The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin to become the first WWF undisputed champion. Here, the WWF and the WCW titles were unified. Jericho would lose the titles to Triple H at WrestleMania 18 in 2002. After WrestleMania, Triple H was given a new title that represented both titles. I always thought that this title was smaller. It was nice, but it was not the winged eagle.

At WrestleMania 21 in 2005, John Cena defeated JBL who was the longest reigning champion in the 2000s. Cena had recently lost the United States championship, a title in which he changed the belt design that had a spinner plate. After Cena won the WWE Championship, he changed the title to a spinner title. This title had to grow on me. As a fan who is a fan of tradition, I did not like the fact that the WWE's most prestigious title is now spinning.

In 2006, At New Years Revolution, Edge cashed in his Money in the Bank contract after Cena had just won a grueling battle in the elimination chamber. After Edge won the title, he was the only champion to defeat the champion to personalize the spinner belt.

Interview with Luscious Latasha



They say great things come in small packages, well the same could be said for the lovely Ms Luscious Latasha. She stands at five foot even, but no one in their right mind would dare cross her. Recently Mr Main Event had the pleasure of catching up with her, and learning about her career in professional wrestling throughout the United States and Japan.
MEBD: How long have you been a wrestler
LL: I started training in sept 2003 and I debuted In feb 2004 so as of right now 7 years.
MEBD: When did you decide that this business was for you? 
LL: I went to a wrestling show in 97 and I told my grandmother (Nana) this was something I wanted to do! I was 7 years old go figure that I would actually stick to what I wanted at such a young age! Most people change their mind all the way up their mid 20s!
MEBD: Who were your favorite wrestlers growing up and what did you like about them?
LL: Growing up I was a fan of Shawn Michaels and Triple H. Shawn caught my eye when I was about 7 yrs old because he was stood out and was so entertaining!
MEBD: How did your friends and family react when you told them you were becoming a wrestler?
LL: They were supportive about it. My family has been behind my since day 1. When I told my Nana that I wanted to do this when I was a little kid she said if u feel that way when your older then go for it!
MEBD: What type of advice would you have for someone trying to get into the business? 
LL: It is a very difficult business. Take in everything you learn, and shut your mouth and listen! If it’s something you want to do you gotta try your hardest and not give up. It definitely isn’t for everyone!
MEBD: Who is your favorite person to work with and why? 
LL: I dont really have a favorite because I like to work with different women wrestlers and learn something from everyone, but I enjoy working with Barbie , without a doubt.
MEBD:What has been your favorite match that you have been in and why?

MEBD: Where do you see your career going? 
LL: What a question! I see my career going as far as I’m willing to try and shoot for. Never did I think I would be able to come wrestle in Japan! And that is accomplished! Well see what else I can tackle along the way.
MEBD: So far what would you say has been the highlight of your career?
LL: My highlight would be wrestling in Japan for two months.. Hoping to be coming back here very soon.
MEBD: To my understanding, wrestling is a true sport in Japan, How would you prepare someone for the experience in Japan?
LL: Train hard! It’s different than the states for sure! Watch some wrestling as well to get a feel for what to expect. It’s a great time but different!
MEBD: What would you say you have learned the most from Japan?
LL: The different styles of wrestling. How they work in the ring. Im so lucky to get to work with different people from around the world. I got to train with some of the CMLL girls as well!
MEBD: The situation: Its WrestleMania and you are going for the WWE Divas title, who is your dream opponent?
LL: They have lost some good women in the past few years.. But if I could, I would love to take on Trish Stratus! She is amazing and has come a long way! For sure!
MEBD: Anything special you would like to say to your fans? 
LL: Thanks for taking the time and effort to reading this interview and hoping to gain more fans to support me in this business! You can be up to date with me or contact me on twitter.com/lusciouslatasha and facebook.com/lusciouslatasha without the fans a wrestler wouldnt be anything! :)

Mr Main Event BDuB’s Thoughts on Money in the Bank



It feels really good to be a wrestling fan tonight. I have not been this happy since I was about 13. I would look forward to a pay-per-view and then when it comes, I could not stop talking about it with all of my friends, nor stop watching it. Tonight’s Money in the Bank was great.
Smackdown Money in the Bank Ladder Match Winner: Daniel Bryan
I honestly did not see this happening. I thought this was a great match, much better than I had predicted. I figured it would be a lot of high flying spots, but nothing that really displayed any type of skill. I was wrong. I also felt that Health Slater and Justin Gabriel put on a great performance in this match. They were not just extras in this match. They told a story by teaming with Wade Barrett and seeming to once again be brainwashed to help him win the briefcase. Instead they turned on him. But in the end the best wrestler in the match won this one. I cannot wait until see when Daniel Bryan cashes it in.
WWE Divas Championship Match: Kelly Kelly defeats Brie Bella
This was the weakest match on the card. The only highlight in my opinion was the little aggression that Kelly Kelly showed once she got tired of being beat on, and that led to her victory.
Mark Henry Defeats Big Show
This match in my opinion lived up to the hype. Usually I do not look forward to matches between Super Heavyweights, however, these two have been at each others throats for several weeks. Mark Henry has had so much momentum going into this match and it he would not let up. After multiple body slams followed by a body splash, Henry was able to defeat the Big Show. That would not satisfy Henry, as he smashed Big Show’s leg with a body splash of the ropes onto a chair.
Raw Money in the Bank Ladder Match Winner: Alberto Del Rio
Going into this match I predicted that Del Rio would win this, however, this was a great performance by all the WWE Superstars involved. I was disappointed when the Miz hurt his knee and had to be helped to the locker room, however, when Evan Bourne was close to grabbing the briefcase, The Miz would excite the crowd and attempt to become a two time winner of the Money in the Bank, however, he would be stopped. At one point it seemed that Rey Mysterio would win the briefcase, however, Del Rio was able to stop him by grabbing his mask off, ultimately causing Rey Mysterio to lose focus. Alberto Del Rio would regain his momentum and grab the briefcase. Del Rio stated that he had already became number one contender and he further solidified himself as the next in line for the WWE Championship.
World Heavweight Championship Match: Christian Defeats Randy Orton
This is the third consecutive pay-per-view match that these two have faced each other and none has been a disappointment. The first match was straight up respect. Orton got the best of Christian and retain the title. The second match, Christian is now a heel and angry that he cannot seem to win the title. Orton wins again, this time in a controversial matter. Christian’s foot is under the rope and the referee failed to see it. This time, Christian demands a rematch with the stipulation that if Orton is disqualified or the referee makes a bad decision, then Christian would become the new World Champion. In this title match, Christian played the roll of the antagonist. He began with grabbing a chair and sliding it to Orton, tempting him to use it. Eventually Christian would attempt to wrestle Orton and attempt to defeat him 1-2-3, however that was not the case. Christian would finally spit in the face of Orton, causing Orton to lose control of his emotions. Randy Orton delivered a kick to Christian right below the belt causing himself to be disqualifed and therefore Christian is the New World Heavyweight Champion. After the match Orton would continue to beat Christian senseless. Now during this point I thought that Daniel Bryan would cash in his money in the bank briefcase, thankfully he did not. I really enjoyed this match and I am really happy that finally Christian is Champion. Hopefully he will not lose the title within five days.
WWE Championship Match: CM Punk Defeats John Cena
In the match that was most anticipated since Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26. Just like that match, this lived up to the hype. Punk had his hometown of Chicago on his side. Cena not only had to face Punk in the ring, he had to deal with the Chicago crowd on the outside. Throughout the match Cena and Punk hit each other with everything. I was suprised by John Cena’s wrestling ability tonight. He displayed more moves tonight than I have seen in any of his matches. He truly wrestled like a man whose Job was on the line. The two hit each other with their finisher on multiple occasions. Cena seemed to have this match won. Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis would began approaching the ring to assure that the bell would ring causing Punk to lose, thus mimicking the infamous Montreal screw-job where Vince McMahon would ring the bell as soon as Shawn Michaels placed the sharpshooter on Bret Hart causing Hart to lose the title. As McMahon sent Laurinaitis to the time keepers table, Cena let go and laid him to the ground and stated that he did not want to win it that way. As soon as he retrieves to the ring, Punk hits him with the Go To Sleep and becomes the brand new WWE Champion. An irate Vince McMahon runs over to the announce table and snatches the headset from Jerry Lawler and calls for Alberto Del Rio to cash in his money in the bank. Del Rio comes running out to the ring and is met with a knee to the face by Punk. Punk would then blow McMahon a kiss and leave through the crowd with the title. This is one of those OMG moments, and as I stated it felt really great to be a wrestling fan during this match. Not only did they tell a story throughout the match, provide us with great in ring action and kept illegal holds to a limit, but in the end provided us with a twist that we did not see coming. I cannot wait until Monday Night Raw tomorrow night!

Mr Main Event's Predictions for WWE Money in the Bank


Raw Money in the Bank Ladder Match featuring Rey Mysterio, Alberto Del Rio, Kofi Kingston, Alex Riley, R-Truth, The Miz, Evan Bourne and Jack Swagger
This match has to be the most well rounded of the two. I believe anyone could win this match. Whether it is Del Rio or Miz who are already at the Main Event level, or Bourne or Riley who are on their way, this match seems to be very interesting. However, Del Rio seems hungry and after not being successful at WrestleMania after winning the biggest Royal Rumble ever, Del Rio will make it up and become the Money in the Bank winner.
SmackDown Money in the Bank Ladder Match featuring Cody Rhodes, Daniel Bryan, Wade Barrett, Sin Cara, Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel, Kane, and Sheamus
This match in my opinion is completely predictable with Sheamus being the winner. However, I would say that Wade Barrett has a strong chance. Overall, I believe that there will be a lot of high flying spots in this match even with individuals perhaps taking themselves out of it.
Big Show vs. Mark Henry
I have never been excited for a match between two Super Heavyweights as I have been for these two. Big Show is the largest athlete in the world, Henry is the strongest man in the world and he has been taking the Big Show out week in and week out. Henry has also been on a mean streak as of late proving that he can be at a main event level. I believe Henry will defeat the Big Show and elevate himself more in the main event picture.
Divas Champion Kelly Kelly vs. Brie Bella
Kelly Kelly has been on a roll and has been the face of the WWE Divas and I do not see her losing her title anytime soon. I hope this match opens up the night.
World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton vs. Christian
When Christian lost the title just five nights to Orton after winning it. At that time, the two had a mutual respect for each other. As time went on and Christian continued to come up short, he began to get angry and no longer did he have respect for Orton. Last Month at Capitol Punishment, Orton defeated Christian. However, Christian foot was on the apron, which was under the ropes, however, the referee failed to see it. Because of that, Christian made the stipulation that if the referee makes a bad call or Orton is disqualified, then he will lose the title. I believe that Christian will indeed become the new champion. However, I would not be surprised that if Sheamus wins the Money in the Bank and cashes it in and wins the title.
WWE Champion John Cena vs. CM Punk
This promises to be a great match. It took three months to build up Christian and Orton, this match took three weeks. The “internet” fans are certain that Punk will not leave Chicago with the title, however, the way things have been we just do not know. Punk has been hell bent on taking the title out of the WWE and possibly defending in another promotion, and I truly believe he will win the title. However, the stipulation from Vince McMahon states that if Punk leaves Chicago with the title, then John Cena will be fired. I believe that Alberto Del Rio will successfully cash in his money in the bank contract and become the new WWE Champion.

Wrestling Matters to Mr Main Event BDuB


Total Nonstop Action also known as TNA changed their name recently to Impact Wrestling. Their reason for changing their name was a direct shot at the WWE changed their name from World Wrestling Entertainment. The WWE did this because they no longer wanted to be known as a wrestling company. WWE wants to be known more for entertainment. They even went as far not calling their employees "wrestlers" any longer, instead, they are "superstars." Now after hearing this, I did not make any sense to me. They still get inside the ring, with the goal of achieving victory, and the ultimate goal, winning the World Championship. So why isn't this wrestling any longer? Well its just like KFC, even though they are not called Kentucky Fried Chicken any longer, does not mean that they do not sell chicken.

So what do you mean when you say wrestling matters? Personally wrestling matters mean that no matter what I will watch two individuals lock up in the squared-circle. If Im bored, I will get on YouTube and watch old WWE , WCW, ECW, or any Independent wrestling clips I can get to. Wrestling Matters even means that when I am channel surfing and I come across an unknown wrestling promotion, I immediately stop and watch it for at least five minutes. Last but not least, wrestling matters means that No matter what people say or who is around, if wrestling is being discussed I will immediately join the conversation and say proudly that I am a fan of professional wrestling.

If Im bored, YouTube always has the pleasure of treating me to some of my favorite wrestling matches or moments in history. The cool thing about YouTube is that there are lots of matches that I have not seen, even in the WWE, so during my spare time I can view them. Whenever I want to see a good wrestling match, I can go right to YouTube and find it. Another great asset that this site has been to me is that I can find just about all the independent promotions located right here. On here I can find different wrestlers who are on the way to the top. This is what wrestling matters to me, seeing unknown participate in the sport that I love the most.

The first time I attended an independent promotion, it was Maryland Championship Wrestling's Shamrock Cup. A friend of mine asked me if I wanted to go, he just stated that there would be wrestling at a building that is used for a flea market right across the street from a local wal-mart.  And since he said the magic word, "wrestling" I was automatically interested. On that night, I did not know who anyone was, or their ranking within the promotion, but because they were wrestling, I was hooked. And now I am a proud supported of independent wrestling, because I respect their hard work and dedication to the craft.

While channel surfing a few weeks ago, I came across a promotion on Comcast cable that I have never heard of. Now honestly I thought that the presentation was terrible, however, it consisted of wrestling and because of that, I had to stop looking for something to watch. Another example, I was working in a hospital and as I was channel surfing, I came across the Spanish channel and saw some good lucha libre action going on. And even though I am not fluent in speaking or even understand Spanish yet, I enjoyed the action of the matches. Wrestling matters this much that even during promotions I have never heard of will still get at least five minutes of my time just because it is wrestling.

All my life I have been a proud fan of professional wrestling. My mom even indicated that when I was about two years old, I was at the doctors office and while in the waiting area, I was playing with another little boy and in the middle of us playing with the toys, I asked him if he watched wrestling and he said yes and we continued playing. my mom often jokes about that day saying that if he said no, I would have left. At every job I have had in my life, I have come across at least one co worker who watches it just as much as I do, and I have always had continuous conversations with that person on Tuesdays after WWE Monday Night Raw.

I have never been ashamed of being a fan of professional wrestling. I love the sport. Whether you call it a sport or sports entertainment, I will always be a fan. Anytime I get a chance to be in the presence of professional wrestling, or carry on a conversation with another fan, I am happy because I am in my world!

Managers in Wrestling!


I have always been a fan of managers in wrestling. From the likes of Bobby Heenan, Sensational Sherri, Mr Fuji, Jimmy Hart, and many more, these figures helped groom wrestlers into superstars. On Superstars, Michael P.S. Hayes was great with his promo reasoning why managers are needed. He stated that these young wrestlers need guidance. Without a manager, some of the wrestlers during the 80s and 90s may not have had their careers elevated to such heights. Some wrestlers include Yokozuna, Haku, and the One Man Gang. Managers, in my opinion, should always have a place in wrestling. Growing up, I hated Bobby Heenan and Colonel Parker, every time I turned around they were interfering with someones match, and just when I felt one of my favorite wrestlers would become champion, there it was a cheap shot. Today, you do not see that. Vickie Guerrero is perhaps the best in the business today. Then again, she is the only serious one right? With Hayes managing Tyson Kidd, I can really see his career elevating almost immediately. Remember when Paul Heyman introduced Brock Lesnar. You knew he was a big deal.

During the late 80s and early 90s, managers such as Sensational Sherri played just as much of a role as Bobby Heenan and James E. Cornette. As wrestling went more into Sports Entertainment, female managers became more of a distraction. Women such as Debra, Sable, and Trish Stratus purpose was to distract the opponent and allow their superstar to get the victory. There was less guidance to championships. However, they still had their place. Wrestling without managers is just as crazy as a wrestling company without a championship.

Bringing in managers back in the WWE will help superstars such as John Morrison and D.H. Smith who each had great tag team careers have great singles careers. Neither are really strong on the microphone, but perhaps with a great manager, they could rise to be a great Intercontinental or United States Champion. One man who I would love to see have a manager is Ted DiBiase Jr. I think if his dad becomes his manager, he could lead him to gold, even the one title he never officially held, the WWE Championship. Even someone like Chris Masters who has the build of champion is put with a manager who perhaps is a former champion could be elevated in a manner of months.

Lil Mae Interview


Lil Mae Interview
Lil Mae wrestles for Anarchy Championship Wrestling and many other organizations. I had the pleasure of speaking with her about her accomplishments, check it out
BDuB : How long have you been wrestling
Lil Mae:3 years in September
BDuB : Who has been some wrestlers that you idolized growing up?
Lil Mae: Jazz, Ivory, Chyna, and Trish Stratus
BDuB:Who is your favorite now?
Lil Mae Chris Jericho
BDuB : What was your favorite match that you have been in?
Lil Mae: Jazz and Awesome Kong vs Simply Luscious and me, I loved it! The first time I bled in a match. It was accidental, Jazz hit me with a chair and the corner caught me, but it was fun none the less
BDuB Do you preferred to be cheered or booed?
Lil Mae I love to be cheered. I am wrestling to entertain people and I love being the center of their attention.
BDuB Who is your dream opponent?
Lil Mae: Beth Phoenix
BDuB: Where would you like to see your career elevate to?
Lil Mae: I would love to make it to TNA or WWE, but my dream is to wrestle in Japan. Because it is hard to be a success in Japan. You have to work for the respect not just because you come out of the curtain happy or looking mean. Your work has to speak for its self
BDuB: How many title reigns have you had?
Lil Mae I haven’t had any titles yet. Almost every time I get a title shot, my opponent has to cheat to beat me.
BDuB: How long have you been a fan of professional wrestling?
Lil Mae I started watching wrestling in the attitude era of WWE and I have been hooked ever since
BDuB: Ever thought about being on tough enough?
Lil Mae: I sent my application into WWE’s casting department, but I wasn’t chosen. Tough Enough is something that would both be a challenge and an accomplishment for me.
BDuB: How do you manage your professional career and personal life?
Lil Mae: Wrestling is kinda like a big stress reliever for me. I am single and don’t have any children right now, so I am pretty free to do as I please. I love wrestling and every aspect of it. So I am glad I can live my dream.
BDuB: Do you have a different approach when you go to the ring when you know that you are going to win as opposed to when you will lose?
Lil Mae: For the majority of wrestling fans, they know wrestling is a work. Despite the fact if I win or lose, I give every match my all. This sport is about the fans. With out them, we wouldn’t have a job. It is my duty to make sure they are entertained to the fullest of my ability.
BDuB: Have you ever been seriously injured?
Lil Mae: Fortunately I haven’t been seriously injured. I have bitten through my lip and sprained my ankle, but nothing more than that.
BDuB: A lot of people say that wrestling is fake, how would you respond to that?
Lil Mae: I challenge everyone that says wrestling is fake to let me hit them with a chair, take a bump on the ground, or even take a forearm. Each wrestler, from the curtian jerkers, to main eventers put their bodies on the line each and every time we step in the ring. Wrestling is like magic shows. We know what magicians do is an illusion, but we still enjoy magic without knowing how the tricks are done.
