Looking Forward

So, Survivor Series...happened...

Honestly, it was pretty uneventful. Pretty much everything that was expected to happen, happened -- except for that Roman Reigns destroyed EVERYBODY!




Take that, Rey Mysterio!

Records in professional wrestling mean about as much as gold stars in kindergarten: they're nice little accolades you can earn, but you can't exactly put them on your resume. That said, Roman Reigns tied the record for most pins in a Survivor Series match ever -- with FOUR!

FOOOOOUR! </mexicansoccerannouncer>

Ahem....But enough about that.

Let's look forward to TLC, which is already looking pretty awesome.

As I predicted the day Cena was announced to fight Alberto Del Rio, Cena vs. Orton is now set for TLC, and it will be for both the WWE and World Heavyweight Championship. The rest of my prediction was that Orton would win that match, become the new "face of the company" (or whatever), and then Daniel Bryan would win it from him...buuut now Bryan is forming a tag team with CM Punk called The Beard and The Best.
















That's the face of a champion!

So that should be amazing, too.

Punk and Bryan are two of the best Superstars today, and if they get some legitimate momentum going as a tag team, they could be champions for a long, long time. They're also feuding with both of the other big teams, the Wyatts and the Shield, so there's plenty of fuel here for the next few months. Bryan already had a huge tag team run with Kane (Team Hell No), so he's no stranger to those bronze belts.

The last thing I wanna mention is that Xavier Woods has come to RAW!
















Congrats to the newest NXT grad!

He's brand new, so I'll forgive him coming in with his dorky dancing gimmick. I love the Over 9000 and Morphin' Time and all that -- I am a child of the 90s after all -- but these fun, goofy gimmicks often trap Superstars at the mid-card or jobber level. Just look at Brodus Clay and Fandango. Xavier even came out with The Funkadactyls.

A bad omen, perhaps?

Until next time, have a nice day and don't be a jabroni.

  1. I like your write up Trevin even though I don't know any wrestlers anymore since I haven't watched since junior high.

    Just like the question you asked me, what do you think about concussions in your sport?

    1. The WWE is extremely cautious about concussions, to the point that they'll sit guys out for a month if they have one. I miss chair shots to the head as much as the next die-hard WWE fanatic, but that kind of thing just can't be done today.
