Survivor Series 2011 Gets Punk-Rocked!

What a way to celebrate 25 years. Having one of the biggest stars from the most popular time in wrestling and one of the most popular stars in wrestling today, place them in the sacred hall of Madison Square Garden, history was set to be made.

While this years Survivor Series featured one traditional style match, along with the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships being on the line, nothing was more anticipated than seeing John Cena and The Rock team up to take on the biggest bullies of the WWE The Miz and R-Truth. Cena reminds The Rock every chance he gets that he is there every night. On this night, Fan cheered The Rock and Cena would be faced with heavily boos. During the match, The Rock looked as if he had never left, while R-Truth and Miz were getting the best of Cena. In the end, fans saw the most electrifying move in sports entertainment, the peoples elbow. After obtaining the victory, The Rock would prove to Cena that the fans were in his corner and he delivered a Rock Bottom to Cena.

The match that stole the show, CM Punk and Alberto Del Rio. The chemistry between these two have come along way. Not that there was anything wrong with the timing between, but this was certainly a five star match. Punk also caused a huge pop when he had Howard Finkel introduce him. After Punk defeated Del Rio, he ran wild throughout the crowd and proved that he ready to lead the company as WWE Champion.

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.

WWE Vegeance Review and Explanation


Instead of writing my usual results of the pay-per-view, I am going to explain why this was the best of the year. Remember, this is my opinion and we are all entitled to one. All I ask is that you read this with an open mind.

2011 WWE Vengeance was not supposed to end any rivalries, it is a transition pay-per-view used to elevate stars. So a lot of people was mad that Ziggler and Swagger did not win the tag titles. Personally, I think that would have been a waste of time seeing as Ziggler is very hot as a singles competitor and he is helping Zack Ryder establish himself. This leads me to my next point, Ziggler retaining the title. Remember, in order for them to establish a great rivalry they need two things, the rising star to actually chase the title and when he wins it, he usually wins it on the second try. Let us not forget that usually the WWE or World Championship is not defended during a traditional Survivor Series so the United States and Intercontinental titles will be the premier championship matches for the night.

Sheamus and Christian engage in another classic match. Holding down the spot before they get back into the title picture. There match with each other keeps them from losing credibility.  Now Cody Rhodes losing to Orton did catch me by surprise, but this is why I am a fan and not a creative team member. By Rhodes being in a pay-per-view match with the veteran, he is certainly on a path to excellence.

Lets look at the Punk and Triple H vs Awesome Truth Match. During this match, CM Punk and Triple H continue to display that they are both fans of pure wrestling. From usage of the tag rope, to holding each others hand gaining leverage, remember it is the little things. For the Miz and R-Truth to be in the ring with a veteran and a legend, this keeps them relevant. Everyone is upset because it was just a few months ago that three of these guys were facing Cena in the main event for the WWE Championship, but right now it is time for Alberto Del Rio to be established. Everyone screams for the Attitude Era, but when the WWE was establishing Chris Jericho as a top star, they put the Undertaker and Stone Cold Steve Austin in matches together to keep them relevant. Even when they were establishing Mankind and The Rock. In the ending of this match, we were all left in shock with Kevin Nash interfering, this keeps Miz and R-Truth relevant, because they did not get a fair win, which does not hurt CM Punk's credibility.

Mark Henry and The Big Show is a match that everyone complained due to the fact that there were two Super Heavyweights in the ring. Before the ring imploded, these two threw everything they had at each other. With Henry kicking out of two Show Stoppers, he is truly being established as an unstoppable champion. Had the ring held up, who  knows what would have happened. Even though it was an accident, we could not have asked for a better ending.

Cena and Del Rio had an awesome match despite the condition of the ring. I figured Del Rio would win, I was just interested in how he would do it. What better way for R-Truth and the Miz to stay relevant. Interfering in this match maintained their spot in the main event picture. While they may not be one of the participants in the last match, for the second straight Pay-per-view, they left the crowd furious when they got involved in another match involving Cena.

Im not saying Money in the Bank was not a good pay-per-view, but take away the fact that it was in Chicago, would everyone have really been as hyped? Tonight, we witness history along with the fact that new stars are being established, while ones we have been watching all year maintain their relevance. Now we have the perfect lead into Survivor Series next month.

WWE Vengeance 2011 Predictions

Beth Phoenix (C) vs EVE WWE Divas Championship Match
Beth Phoenix has been really hot since finally capturing the Divas Championship Match. Eve is a great in ring competitor, but I do not think that she has enough momentum to defeat Beth Phoenix.

Air-Boom (C) vs Jack Swagger & Dolph Ziggler WWE Tag Team Championship Match
Despite Evan Bourne's injury, this team has been on fire. Unfortunately, Ziggler has been carrying the team of he and Swagger. In the end, Air-Boom keeps the titles.

Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton Non-Title Match 
I cannot wait for this match. Rhodes and Orton are both in-ring generals. They have had great matches on Raw and Smackdown, and now with these two on a bigger stage, I can truly see this match stealing the show. Its very ironic, how these two were involved in matches at WrestleMania that could be considered the best match of that night. In the end, I see Cody Rhodes escaping with the victory.

Triple H & CM Punk vs The Miz and R-Truth
As my cohost of the Wrestling Wrealm The Real Dwayne Allen stated, this is a match with a legend, Triple H, a veteran, CM Punk, and two stars that are still rising, The Miz and R-Truth. I really love the build up to this match, and I do think that Johnny Ace will try to get involved, but I see Triple H and Punk picking up with the victory.

Mark Henry (C) vs The Big Show World Heavyweight Championship Match
Normally I am not a fan  of a match between two Superheavyweights, however, Mark Henry and The Big Show have been battling throughout 2011. These two had a decent match at Capitol Punishment and it showed that it is possible for guys of this size to keep our attention. Mark Henry has been dominant and the Big Show has been angry and looking for payback. I think Big Show wins, but does not get the title.


Alberto Del Rio (C) vs John Cena WWE Championship Match
There was no better way John Cena could have showed us that we were in store for a last man standing match. With the beating delivered Del Rio on Monday, and then beginning the count, this match looks like it will be the climax of a war. This is a very hard match to call. Cena never loses two matches, an I quit or a Last Man Standing. If Del Rio wins, he must be creative.

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!

Interview with Gregory Iron








Recently, Mr Main Event BDuB had the honor of speaking with Gregory Iron. Iron is a professional wrestler who suffers with cerebral palsy. His big moment recently occurred when then WWE Champion CM Punk attended AAW in Chicago to pay his respects to the "handicapped hero."
MEBD When did your grandmom introduce you to pro wrestling?
GI: My earliest memories of watching wrestling with my grandma was probably around 3 or 4.
MEBD . What was the one match that you remember with her the most?

GI: The matches from Wrestlemania VI and VII, with Hulk Hogan, are always the first that come to mind.
MEBD . Who was your favorite wrestler growing up? 

GI: .Hulk Hogan was my dude. I loved a lot of the babyfaces of the early 90's WWF... Savage, Hart, Roberts, Razor, etc.
MEBD . Who is your favorite wrestler today?
GI: I guess the perfect answer for favorite wrestlers today would be Colt and Punk! haha! But honestly, on WWE tv, my "Fave Five" if you will, would be something like Daniel Bryan, Christian, CM Punk, Dolph Ziggler, and Cody RhodesMEBD . What do you think about the state of professional wrestling today?
GI:  I don't think its as strong as it once was, due to MMA. But I feel like WWE is one good storyline away from making wrestling hot again. I guess we will have to see!
MEBD . You mentioned in your recent interview with Aftermath Radio, that your mom battled drug and alcohol addiction, how hard was it deal with that coupled with your condition?
GI:  It was hard. Anybody whos ever dealt with someone whose into drugs can understand the difficulties. To not really know your real mom, and to basically watch her slowly kill herself in front of you is very hard.
MEBD . You stated that you did not mind heels making fun of your condition in order to draw heat, has there ever been a time that someone really got under your skin?
GI: . Nope. In real life, it would be bothersome. But in wrestling, making fun of the guy with the disability is like the perfect way to generate heat.
 MEBD . Have you had the opportunity to meet Zach Gowen? What was your favorite match of his?
GI: I have actually met Zach several times. He is someone I consider a friend, and we have even gotten the opportunity to tag up. My favorite match of his is, suprisingly, with Vince McMahon. That was a war!
MEBD . Who was your greatest opponent?
GI:.Johnny Gargano. Johnny is without a doubt one of the best indy wrestlers today, and its only a matter of time before a major oganization signs him.
MEBD . What has been the highlight of your career thus far?
GI:  The moment with CM Punk and Cabana was huge. But two other great moments I had was against Gargano in a Last Man Standing Match (2008), and with Lince Dorado in my Chikara debut (2010). After both of those matches, in defeat, I recieved a standing ovation. For a guy who never thought he could wrestle, they were pretty overwhelming moments.
MEBD . Did your grandmother know you were going to become a wrestler? If so what was her opinion?
GI: She didn't know, because I didn't!!
MEBD . Who was her favorite?
GI:  Hulk, hence why when she passed, I placed a Hulk Hogan Hasbro action figurein her casket
MEBD . Which current or former wrestler has given you the best advice?
GI: An e-mail from J.J. Dillion always comes to mind. He has a son with c.p., and he watched some of my work. He wrote me and basically said, I don't know how far you can take this because of your size, but I hope that one day, you can look back and see that you got to live out moments that most people only dream about. That always stuck with me.
MEBD . You indicated that you would never be Steve Austin or Kurt Angle, but with the WWE in a "real era" and coupled with their Bullying Campaign, many would say that this could be your time, what could you do that has not been done before?
GI: I think my overall character is something unique and different. My story isn't somethingthat was thought of... its real. I think in wrestling, the most successful men, matches, and moments, were those that felt real. I think Gregory Iron is a guy that anybody can get behind, and its a story that trancends wrestling.
MEBD  Which promotions are you currently wrestling for?
GI: .I currently wrestle regularly for PWO in Ohio, Absolute Intense Wrestling, AAW in Chicago, and Chikara Pro, who actually has an upcoming iPPV on November 13th, at GFL,tv.
MEBD . How can people contact you for bookings?
GI: I accept bookings at facebook.com/thehandicappedhero, or at gregory_iron@yahoo.com.
MEBD  What was it like meeting CM Punk, have you spoken with him any more?
GI: . Very surreal meeting CM Punk. He is a guy I look up to and admire. Great dude. Though we spoke for like twenty minutes that day, I haven't talked with him since.
MEBD What is your ultimate goal in this business?
GI: Three letters: WWE.
MEBD: Have you spoken with any children who may struggle with the same thing
GI:  I am thankful that, on a regular basis, I get tons of e-mails and messages from people young, old, disabled, not disabled, white, black, yellow.... that can relate to my story. I am happy that the things I have been through can help somebody deal with problems in their own live.

Yokozuna, Setting the path for the Samoan family.


The day was April 4, 1993. I was in church all day anticipating what would be the first WrestleMania that my parents would order for me. The main event, my favorite wrestler, Bret The Hitman Hart taking on his biggest challenge to date, a 500 pound Japanese Sumo wrestler. At that time, I did not know that he was actually Samoan. I knew that this would be a challenge for my favorite wrestler. All I heard was Bobby "the Brain" Heenan stating, "How is he going be able to execute the sharpshooter?" The question that was on mind all day, would Bret Hart be able to retain his World Wrestling Federation title against the mighty Yokozuna?

As the night went on, I knew that the Hitman's title was in jeopardy. It was later revealed that he had been attack by Narcissist Lex Luger the night before. Luger, who had a metal plate in his arm hit Hart with a running forearm.  WrestleMania IX was live at Ceaser's Palace in Las Vegas Nevada and it was the first outside. As time drew closer to the main event, the sun began to set, and many said, it was beginning to set on Bret Hart's title reign.

So it is time for the main event. As the 500 pound Royal Rumble winner approaches the ring, there are two Japanese ladies that await him in the ring with a dozen of roses each. As apart of his in ring entrance, they bow to him and hand him the roses and he takes them and toss them into the audience.

As the hitman approaches the ring, he is confident as always. Remember, he is Stu Hart's child. Growing up in  the dungeon is no easy task. As he enters the ring, and removes the strap from his waist, he gives it his traditional kiss. Before the hitman goes into battle, he removes his sunshades and gives them to a lucky child sitting in the front row.

Now it is time for the match. A weeks prior, during the official contract signing, Yokozuna made a statement by delivering a Bonzai drop onto the champ. From that day, everyone knew that it was just a matter of time.  As the match began, Yokozuna's awareness would be tested by Hart's speed and agility. But it was power maneuvers that he would use to slow down the champ. Even though he was billed from Japan, this match met a lot for the Samoan family, as this was the time for one of their own to win the biggest prize in professional wrestling.

The hitman was able to withstand the punishment to a man that he was giving up nearly 300 pounds to. As the clouds began to settle over Ceasers Palace, it had to be a matter of time before Yokozuna could turn things back in his favor. Hart, who was never known as a dirty wrestler had to do whatever it took take down this giant. As he had Yokozuna in the corner, he began to pummel on the head nearly ten times. As the ref count reached closer to ten, it was Yokozuna beginning to pull him from the corner, but he had a struggle. Hart held onto the turnbuckle padding until it was ripped off which left nothing but exposed steel.

With the steel off, that could only mean trouble for one of these great superstars. As Yokozuna attempted to ram Hart's face into the corner, it was countered and the massive Samoan was left on the ground face first. This gave the Hart the opportunity to attempt the unthinkable. Hart went to the feet of Yokozuna and lifted his legs up with every bit of energy he had and executed the sharpshooter.


So many things ran through my mind at the time. Could Bret Hart walk out of Las Vegas with his WWF Championship, all we need is a tap out. Even a 500 pounder could not withstand the pain of his hamstring being stretched. There was one problem. The man who perhaps would receive the second biggest pay day if Hart loses the title was standing at ringside. Mr Fuji, reaches in his bucket as he had done on many occasions before and tossed a grain of salt into the eyes of Bret Hart. As Hart released the hold, this allowed Yokozuna to change the perception of Samoan wrestlers forever. He would cover him and become the new World Wrestling Federation Champion!


On this night, Yokozuna's celebration was cut short after Hulk Hogan arrived to the aid of Bret Hart was challenged by Mr Fuji. Hogan would win the title, but Yokozuna would regain the title in June at King of the Ring.

As a five year old, it is only common to root for the good guy and boo the bad guy. When Yokozuna would become a face nearly two years later, he became one of my favorites.

While he was billed as a Japanese wrestler, Yokozuna opened the door for Samoan wrestlers to be in the main event. Yokozuna left us too soon, but his legacy lives on in his family. On Saturday October 1, The Wrestling Wrealm and Tha Best Damn Show had the honor of attending a memorial show at WXWC4 provided to us The Headshrinkers, Fatu (Rikishi) and Samu.

WWE Hell in a Cell 2011 Results.



John Cena goes to Hell, the sub theme of tonight's pay-per-view. At the end of the night, he went to hell and was put out of hell as a new WWE Champion was crowned.

Hell in a Cell was not the best pay-per-view of the year, but it was not the worse either.

Sheamus defeats Christian
Opening up with Christian and Sheamus I thought was a very good idea. This was not a match that I was necessarily interested in seeing, but its one of those get it out the way matches. It was not too long, bro kick and Sheamus wins. Someone tweeted that Christian will probably state, one more match, that will be interesting.

Sin Cara defeats Sin Cara II
This match should was much better since they are no longer wearing the same ring attire. At first I was bored with it, but they gained momentum in the end and it was the original Sin Cara standing up for the victory.

Air-Boom defeats Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler to retain the WWE Tag team Titles
Personally, I thought this match was nothing special. At one point, I thought that Ziggler and Swagger would get the titles, but personally I think it makes sense to keep them around Air-Boom. I rather see them lose the titles to a more established tag team.

Mark Henry defeats Randy Orton to retain the World Heavyweight Championship
In the first of two Hell in A Cell matches, Randy Orton gave Mark Henry everything he had. The two went inside and out the ring, and when Orton realized the RKO would not be enough, he had a confused look in his eyes. When he attempted to go for the punt that had previously won him world titles, it was Mark Henry intercepting him for the World Strongest Slam to retain the World title. After the match, Henry attempted to destroy Orton's ankle, but Orton would counter it and beat Henry with the chair continuously.


Cody Rhodes defeats John Morrison to retain the Intercontinental Championship
Before this impromptu match, Cody Rhodes revealed a brand new Intercontinental Title. He returned to the white belt that was once worn by Shawn Michaels and the Ultimate Warrior. Rhodes unexpected to perform was not ready for this match and many times throughout the match, he attempted to get himself counted out, but when forced to get back in the ring, Rhodes carefully picked his spots and gained the victory.

Beth Phoenix defeats Kelly Kelly to win the Divas Championship
After losing to Kelly Kelly at Summerslam and Night of Champions, Beth Phoenix knew that it was now or never. Throughout the match, Kelly Kelly used her speed as she did in her two victories. But with Natalya being in Beth Phoenix corner, we knew it would be a matter of time for her to get involved, especially since she has been a victim also. When the opportunity presented itself, Natalya hit Kelly Kelly with the "pipe-bomb" after she harassed her while she was on the receiving end of a submission move. This would allow Phoenix to execute the glam slam and win the Divas Championship.

Alberto Del Rio defeats John Cena and CM Punk to win the WWE Championship
After losing the WWE Championship two weeks ago, many thought that Alberto Del Rio was just a fluke. In tonight's match, Del Rio proved otherwise. Throughout the match, Del Rio was the target. However, he got a chair and used that to his advantage. When that was taken from him, his ring announcer would get involved and open the door and provide him with a pipe and the keys to the cell. After Del Rio received the keys, he locked Cena out of the cell, and beat Punk profusely with it and John Cena was forced to watch his WWE Championship slip through his hands.
After the match, and the cell was being raised, Miz and R-Truth, who had previously beat up the tag team champs back stage would run down and destroy everyone in the ring. As the cell was lowered, Truth and Miz  were allowed to do as much damage as they wanted. The entire WWE locker room and the local police came down but no one could get in the cell. After the door was unlocked, the two were arrested. As they were being escorted, Triple H shoved Johnny Ace out of his way as he ran to the two and beat on them until they were escorted out of the arena.

Mr Main Event's Night of Champion Thoughts, Mark Henry New World Heavyweight Champion!

Night of Champions, a night in which every title in the WWE is defended. This is a night where you are almost guaranteed to see at least one title change. Tonight, the WWE Universe witnessed the two most important change hands, the World Heavyweight and the WWE titles.

 For fans who have been loyal to the WWE for years, they saw Mark Henry, a 15 year veteran earn his first World Heavyweight Championship. Henry has been terrorizing the Smackdown roster for the entire summer, and he stated that his goal was to win the World Championship, which he accomplished by defeating Randy Orton in a dominating performance.

John Cena defeated Alberto Del Rio in a solid match. I was not expecting much from this match, however I was not disappointed. It was not a bad, nor boring match, but it was not Cena-Punk either. For the first time, I actually was not upset that John Cena came out as the new WWE Champion. In my opinion, at the end of this man's career he will be a 25 time champion.

Triple H and CM Punk's No Disqualification match really lived up to the hype. At least, I think so. These two had a lot of pinned up emotion and they really took it to each other from start to finish. Triple H was in the ring for the first time since facing the Undertaker at WrestleMania in April. The Game really proved that he could keep up with Punk. Punk, who has been on a roll all Summer, threw everything at Triple H except the kitchen sink. However, Nash entered the ring, only to knock both men out. And just when Triple H landed a sledgehammer to Kevin Nash, out came R-Truth and Miz, who stated that they were tired of the conspiracies. In the end, it was Triple H defeating Punk and maintaining his role of the Chief Operating Officer of the WWE. We all know that CM Punk will be back, but in what form.

Kelly-Kelly surprised me. I just knew that her title reign would be over at the end of the night. Every time I see her take on Beth Phoenix, I become more impressed. Phoenix has really brought out the best in her. Prior to their matchups, the divas division seemed to be a dying breed. Now watching Kelly Kelly seems to be interesting because she has really improved her craft.

Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr work so well in the ring together. When the two debuted as a tag team, I just knew that DiBiase Jr would be the star of this group. He seemed to have all the makings of a future world champion. However, he just cannot seem to get over. The two had a solid match tonight, but in the end it was Cody Rhodes outsmarting DiBiase to retain his Intercontinental Championship.

The United States Championship match was very entertaining. Since the Royal Rumble, I have said and will continue to say that Dolph Ziggler is a future main event star. He may not be the biggest, but his in ring ability and intelligence is well ahead of his class. Ziggler escaped with the victory tonight and retained his US Championship by simply outsmarting Alex Riley, Jack Swagger, and John Morrison.

The new team of Air Boom did not prove whether or not they are a fluke. The match simply ended in a disqualification. The Miz and R-Truth believed that they were victims of a conspiracy after the referee allowed  Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston to execute a tag because he said that he heard one, but would not do the same because he did not hear it from Miz and Truth. I liked this a lot. This would lead to the Miz and R-Truth leaving in an uproar and as they indicated they would do something about the "conspiracies."

Mr Main Event BDuB's Thoughts on Shawn Michaels being back in the WWE this weekend



Canadace Kidd recently reported that Shawn Michaels is headed to the WWE this weekend.Read her blog here.

Why else would Shawn visit Triple H this weekend? This is the Game's first match since his epic battle against the Undertaker at WrestleMania XXVII. Prior to that match everyone just knew that Michaels would get involved one way or another. The last time we saw Michaels on WWE television, he and Punk had an exchange of words. Could this be revenge for Shawn against Punk? Or could Michaels double cross Triple H since he fired Kevin Nash?

It is also possible that Nash and Triple H could be in cahoots all along, and that maybe they are bringing Michaels in an effort to rid the WWE of Punk for good. With this report, Night of Champions has just got even more interesting.

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.
