Final Thoughts of 2007

Well with 2007 rapidly ending I thought I'd give you my final thoughts of the year. Last Wednesday I witnessed one of the best basketball games in history. The Detroit Pistons vs. Boston Celtics. My two favorite teams none the less. It was a great game that saw Detroit winning by two. I can't wait until they play again. Should be good

The Micthell Report was released a few weeks back and to say that I was disappointed to hear Roger Clemens name in it is an understatement. Here is a guy I have always admired and respected as an athlete. The sad thing is, is he is the only one denying use while others in the report are coming clean. Roger come clean and stop hiding the truth

The Patroits went 16-0 while my Carolina Panthers struggled this year. New England dominated almost everyone they played. They had a few close games but they played great. Football playoffs start next week. Should be interesting to see who plays who.

Well the offseason in baseball has slowed down tremendously. Nothing interesting happening trade and signing wise. I think the Tigers are sitting pretty as of right now.

I say in 2008 the two best sports cities will be Boston and Detroit.
For Boston you have the Red Sox, Patroits, Celtics and Bruins.
Detroit you have the Tigers, Red Wings, Pistons and the Shock

And finally with 2007 coming to an end, my hope for 2008 is that the Tigers win the World Series, Pistons win the Championship and the Lions have a winning record. Also Carolina will hopefully be better next year. U of M has some coaching credability. Farewell 2008. Peace and Happy New Years

John Cena My Life DVD Review

So I got the new John Cena DVD for Christmas. I have never been a huge fan of Cena or at least the Cena we know and love today. After watching DVD I have a lot of respect for the Doctor of Thuganomics. I like how the guy has a lot of respect for the business. The weird thing about the DVD is that he didn’t talk once about himself…Hell he wasn’t in the DVD. Everyone talked about him. People like Tazz, Vince, J.R., and his family and friends.

The man is quickly ascending into a celebrity. He is a multiple time WWE Champion, He has a rap album and he has a movie. John Cena has a lot of critics which explains why he gets booed all the time now.

The DVD really captured what kind of person he is outside of the ring and it also tells us that he is really passionate about the United States and what we’re doing over in the Middle East. He has been on every single tour to Iraq since its inception in 2003.

All of the matches on the DVD are great. My favorite was the 6-man tag with Hogan and Michaels as his partners. It was cool to see that past, present and future in the ring at the same time.

John Cena is definitely the future of wrestling, and the WWE. When he comes back I hope he returns wearing the chain, and the throwback jerseys. He needs to go back to where he started. That’s when the fans liked him. That’s when I liked him. A must buy for any true wrestling fan. Good stuff.

Wrestlemania 24 Card Predictions

With Wrestlemania 24 a few months around the corner, I thought I’d take my time and make prediction on the 9 or 10 matches that could happen. Here we go.

WWE Championship Match:
Randy Orton vs. Batista vs. Triple H

World Heavyweight Championship Match:
Edge vs. Undertaker

Career Threatening Match:
Ric Flair vs. Sting

The Great Khali vs. Hulk Hogan

Mr. Kennedy vs. Bobby Lashley

Money in the Bank Ladder Match:
Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, MVP, Chavo Guerrero, Shelton Benjamin, Rey Mysterio

Shawn Michaels vs. Sid Vicious

JBL vs. Chris Jericho

WWE Tag Team Championship Match:
Miz/Morrison vs. Deuce/Domino vs. Major Brothers

World Tag Team Championship Match:
Hardcore Holly/Cody Rhodes vs. Highlanders vs. Cade/Murdoch vs. London/Kendrick

Now some of these are long shot picks but hey if this card actually happened it would be a great PPV. At this point who knows what’s going to happen but I think some of these matches are a strong possibility. Only time will tell.

AWA Stars getting attention from WWE

Steve Corino, Noah Lott and Kirby Mack after a 6-man Tag match


In a span of two and half months four of the AWA’s top superstars have been on a WWE show. It all started on Oct. 8th. WWE was in Grand Rapids, Michigan. None other than residence of Noah Lott who is originally from Boston Mass. Noah Lott took on Jacob Duncan, who eventually beat him. Jacob Duncan has since then been released from WWE.

Then on December 3rd, Mr. Kennedy saw fit to bring out three imposters from Shawn Michaels past. One of them being Marty Jannetty who appeared at the 15th anniversary show. The imposter Marty was none other than T.J. Mack. What most people don’t know is Marty Jannetty was originally part of the AWA before coming to the WWE. How interesting?

Also on December 3rd, Kirby Mack and a mystery partner were beaten by Paul London and Brian Kendrick on WWE Heat. Another thing for you non-Indy fans, the Mack brothers were trained by Jeff and Matt Hardy. Could that be a sign of things to come?

Then on December 10th, The King of Old School Steve Corino had a dark match against D.H. Smith, the son of the legendary Davey Boy Smith. Corino was defeated by the younger Smith but had a great showing.

With all this going on, how will the AWA keep these superstars from defecting to WWE? And do these appearances from these four make them the top contenders for the now vacated AWA World Heavyweight title? Soon we will find out.

WWE Raw 15 Anniversary Recap

Last night was the Raw 15th Anniversary show. There was so many wonderful moments. I was never more excited then I was last night to watch wrestling on Monday Night.

I enjoyed the Evolution reunion taking on Rated-RKO and Umaga. That should have been the Main Event. Evolution was dominant as always.

I loved how Triple H incorporated himself in the show with the McMahons, Evolution and DX. He pretty much covered every aspect of his career in a three hour show. Good stuff.

The Battle Royal was absolutely hilarious. Talk about the misfits of WWE past. It was funny. I loved how they had Ted Dibiase come out and buy his victory from long time tag partner I.R.S.

My favorite moment was when Hulk Hogan came out and saved the Hornswoggle the Leperchaun from the Great Khali. Hulkamania returns and I have a feeling he will be wrestling at Wrestlemania 24 this next year. Also he will be hosting American Gladiators starting Jan. 6th on NBC. Sweetness.



I was shocked to Rob Van Dam there last night. It was cool. Mr. Monday Night shocked all. I was surprised Sid Vicious wasn't there. Maybe they are saving his return for a later date. Who knows.

The very end was awesome. Mick Foley as Mankind, The Undetaker and Stone Cold Steve Austin came out and beat up Vince. Good stuff. Then all the Raw stars from the last 15 years came out and had a beer bash. It was a good moment.

The excitement is over but the buzz is still in the air. I enjoyed the 3 hour special last night. I really enjoyed it as a fan. I hope they keep some of the legends around who can still wrestle. Thanks WWE Raw for 15 years. I hope you run for another 15.

Be safe everyone. Winter is here. Happy Holidays.

Tigers off season moves.

Well what can you say. The Detroit Tigers struck first in the offseaon. They acquired some heavy hitters and one pitcher who has the potiential to be dominating. I would like to see the Tigers get one more relieve pitcher whose name is not Todd Jones, or Fernando Rodney. I am suprised Detroit hasn't gotten rid of them yet. I was sad to see Jurrijans and Infante go because they were better then what people gave them credit for. Everyone else. They came, they saw, they went.

I have a funny feeling that Detroit will be trading one, Brandon Inge. With Miguel Cabrera at 3rd base now, Inge won't see very much playing time. Inge will hopefully be traded for that one relief pitcher we need. It will happen you'll see. Tigers now have the most dominant line-up in baseball. I don't care about the Cubs, Mets, Indians, Yankees, and Red Sox. They have all just been surpassed by Detroit. The pitching is still shakey in my eyes. I am sure some feel the same way. Mark it on your calander, March 31 because thats opening day against the K.C. Royals. God I feel bad for them...not really. Well here is a history of how the Tigers got where they are now:

-12/5/07 Acquired LHP Dontrelle Willis and 3B Miguel Cabrera from the Florida Marlins in exchange for RHP Burke Badenhop, RHP Eulogio De La Cruz, RHP Dallas Trahern, LHP Andrew Miller, C Mike Rabelo and OF Cameron Maybin.
-12/4/07 Acquired RHP Denny Bautista from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for RHP Jose Capellan.
-11/30/07 Re-signed LHP Kenny Rogers to a one-year contract; Signed RHP Francisco Cruceta to a one-year contract.
-11/12/07 Acquired OF Jacque Jones from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for INF Omar Infante.
-10/29/07 Acquired SS Edgar Renteria from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for RHP Jair Jurrjens and OF Gorkys Hernandez.

To get a little you have to give a little and the Tigers definitely got the better end of all these deals and signings. Until spring training enough about the Tigers unless a big move happens again.

Who's your Tiger now?

100th Post: Raw 15th Anniversay, WWE Armaggedon, TNA Turning Point, and more

Well this is my 100th post on this thing...Hell yeah. Anyways Raw's 15th anniversay is this Monday live on USA at 8pm. I am very excited right now about this because Stone Cold, Hulk Hogan and many more past stars will be there. Something big is going to happen with Vince. I had a gut feeling. Tune in to find out.

WWE Armaggedon is next Sunday. Matches so far are:

-WWE Title Match
Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho
-World Heavyweight Title Match
Batista vs. Edge vs. The Undertaker
-Women's Title Match
Beth Phoenix vs. Mickie James
-United States Title Match
MVP vs. Rey Mysterio
-Winner gets a WWE Title shot at Royal Rumble
Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy
-Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Kennedy
-Finlay vs. The Great Khali
-CM Punk and Kane vs. Big Daddy V and Mark Henry

I have a feeling that Triple H and Jeff Hardy will steal the show and I believe Michaels vs. Kennedy will as well. What a lineup and show to end the year for WWE.

Unfortunately because of one man I cannot say the same for TNA'S final PPV in 2007, Turning Point. It was suppose to be Samoa Joe and Hall/Nash against the Angle Alliance. Scott Hall no-showed the event and no one seems to know why. As a wrestling fan I was pissed. They put Eric Young in the Main Event spot instead which I was interesting because he is not a main eventer but he is so over with the fans. Congrats to Eric. Scott Hall, you just committed career suicide for the last time. You can take your chico's and machismo and stick it. You dropped the ball.

Right now the WWE troops are in Iraq for the Tribute to the Troops taping. Superstars the are over there include the following: Hardcore Holly, Mickie James, Mark Henry, Triple H, Jeff Hardy, Ron Simmons, John Bradshaw Layfield, Mr. Kennedy, Rey Mysterio, Lillian Garcia, Maria, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, Carlito, Umaga and many others. This is why the WWE is so great. Because of this. Even if you're not a wrestling fan you should tune into watch this Christmas Eve.



Thats all from me now, I will have another post today about the Detroit Tigers, probably within a half hour.
