I had the chance to watch Shaq's debut with the Suns last night. I must say I was quite impressed. 15 points and 9 rebounds in 28 minutes. I think he is only going to get better. I think it was a good trade for Pheonix because they didn't have to give up much to get him. Jason Kidd made his return to Dallas last night and didn't do well at all in my humble opinion and he played longer then Shaq did. I think this was a bad move by the Mavericks. What the hell is Mark Cuban thinking? He got rid nine guys for one. I don't understand it. The New Jersey Nets got the better end of the deal.
Now onto wrestling and a new favorite wrestler I have. Usually it takes me a long time to like a certain wrestler once he's started. It took me about a year to like Orton, Batista, and the Hardys (way back in 98.) However Kofi Kingston has definitely captured my attention and is quickly bceoming on of my favorites to watch every week. I really hope they start putting him up againt bigger name guys. He's got the ability to be up there wit some of the best. Here some of his matches of his below including one thats never been on TV. Enjoy and have a good weekend

Daytona 500, NBA All Star weekend, and No Way Out.
Ryan Newman wins the Daytona 500, what the heck? I was shocked as any to see that. In the last few laps I thought Jr. and Tony Stewart were going to go for it and win it. It was probably one of the greatest races I have ever seen. It was very competitive. Hats off to Ryan Newman, and teammate Kurt Busch who finished second. It was cool to see Sam Hornish Jr., and other Indy Car drivers in NASCAR. I think its safe to say that Indy Car/Open wheel driving is pretty much dead. All the glitz and glamour is in the Sprint Cup and the Nationwide Series.
The NBA All Star weekend was awesome. The celebrity game was great. Guys like Terrell Owens, Floyd Mayweather, Deion Sanders, Alyssa Milano, Chris Tucker and Master P. Of course this wasn’t Mayweather’s only event of the weekend, if you know what I mean. The rookie-sophmores game was classic as Daniel Gibson tore it up. Then on All-Star Saturday Night, the only thing that mattered to me was watching Dwight Howard kicking some major butt in the slam-dunk contest. He did somew crazy stuff. I am sure you can find some videos on youtube of his dunks. Finally the all star game. Ray Allen, Dwight Howard and MVP Lebron James tore it up for the East. It was a good game to watch
WWE No Way Out was last night and it was one of those built up PPV's that could have been better. CM Punk and Chavo had some great things in it which will likely continue the feud. The Smackdown Chamber match was not great. Only three great things happened in the match. All of them involved the Undertaker. Undertaker chokeslammed MVP off a chamber. Undertaker chokeslammed Finlay onto the steel floor siding. And finally the Undertaker had a friggin awesome counter that you'll have to see for yourself. Kennedy vs. Flair was decent with Flair winning in the end. The legend continues for now. Edge vs. Mysterio was short and sweet because of Reys torn Bicep. After the match the Big Show returned with a promo which led to him getting ready to chokeslam Rey. However he didnt get to chokeslam him because Floyd Mayweather hit the ring to make the save. Mayweather wound up busting Big Show up. Then you had John Cena vs. Randy Orton in a great match with even a better finish. Watch the PPV to see. Finally the Raw Chamber match which I knew would be the amtch of the night was going on. It was brutal to say least. My boy Triple H won with a pedigree to Jeff Hardy on a chair. It was a decent PPV with some interesting surprises. Can't wait for Raw tonight and Wrestlemania in 6 weeks.
Until next time, be safe and God Bless.

My Predicted/Rumored Matches for Wrestlemania 24
Based on what I have seen or heard as of late and with what might happen at No Way Out, I have made some predictions for Wrestlemania 24 and what the card may look like. Some of my picks might be dead on and some way off the mark but with 6 weeks left anything can happen.
WWE Title Match: Randy Orton vs. Triple H vs. John Cena
Thoughts- Randy Orton will either lose the title and use his rematch clause or he will get disqualified and Cena will make the case that he didn’t get a fair shot and he was never beat for the title. For sure though Triple H will be in the main event
World Heavyweight Title Match: Edge vs. Undertaker
Thoughts- Edge will retain vs. Mysterio and Undertaker will win the Elimination Chamber. There have also been talks of adding Mysterio and Batista due to the fact that the Undertakers schedule is limited. They need a bigger build-up
US Title Match: MVP vs. Matt Hardy
Thoughts- This feud is far from over. Hardy has been out of action since November and will look to comeback and take title away from MVP
ECW Title Match: Chavo Guerrero vs. CM Punk
Thoughts- This rivalry has not gone full-circle just yet. WWE needs to let these two loose and do their thing. I believe at Wrestlemania 24 they will do just that. I look for this to be an incredible match if it happens
Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Mr. Kennedy, Jeff Hardy, Shelton Benjamin, Umaga, Kane, Kofi Kingston, Cody Rhodes, Elijah Burke
Thoughts- This is just one these matches you have to pick and make some wild guesses. Mr. Kennedy and Hardy are shoe-ins. Shelton Benjamin has made these matches worth wild. Umaga has no feud with anyone right now. Kane also has now feud with anyone right now. Kingston, Burke, and Rhodes are all deserving of a push.
Women’s Title Match: Beth Phoenix vs. Maria vs. Candice Michelle vs. Mickie James vs. Ashley vs. Melina
Thoughts- When you think of Florida you think of beautiful women. So why not have 6 beautiful women wrestle for their title. It’s highly unlikely all 6 would be involved but I’ve heard Phoenix vs. Maria or Phoenix vs. Ashley. If they were smart they would utilize all 6 divas
Career Threatening Match: Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels
Thoughts- This will be Ric Flairs last match and what better guy to go out against then the Show-Stopper himself. This will be a classic match and Ric Flair will have a match for the ages and one that will be talked about for a long time.
Finlay vs. Vince McMahon
Thoughts- This match will take place with all the stuff going on with Hornswoggle as of late. However I heard that Mick Foley and Shane McMahon will get involved somehow. Should be an interesting feud.
No Hold Barred Match- JBL vs. Chris Jericho
Thoughts- This rivalry is heating up and the only way to end it is with brutality on the biggest stage of them all. JBL still hasn’t shown me that he is what he use to be. Maybe at Mania he will get his chance.
Wild Card Match- Hulk Hogan vs. The Great Khali
Thoughts- At the Raw 15th Anniversary this match seemed like it would happen for sure. However Hogan hasn’t said anything about Mania and the Great Khali. I have also heard rumored that Big Show could be involved as well. You never know with Hogan so there for this why I am calling it a wild card.
Other Thoughts- A lot of people left out, Mark Henry, Big Daddy V, Carlito, Miz/Morrison, and no legends. Unfortunately you cant put everyone on so someone is always left out. However I on March 30th Orlando Florida will be rocking and Wrestlemania 24 is going to be a night to remember.
WWE Title Match: Randy Orton vs. Triple H vs. John Cena
Thoughts- Randy Orton will either lose the title and use his rematch clause or he will get disqualified and Cena will make the case that he didn’t get a fair shot and he was never beat for the title. For sure though Triple H will be in the main event

UFC 81, Super Bowl 42, Knight, Shaq
What kind of person would I be, if I didn't say I told you so. Well I told you so. I did happen to watch the Brock Lesnar/Frank Mir fight and it last all of 90 seconds. However it didnt go as I thought it would. Brock pounded the hell out of Mir and busted him wide open but unfortunately he got caught in a leg bar and tapped. We definitely have not seen the last of Brock Lesnar.
Super 42 was better then I thought it would be. I thought it would be 40 point blowout but it was a tight game with heriocs from the Giants in the end. The pass that Eli Manning made to David Tyree in the 4th quarter was incredible. Just absolutely phenomenal. My favorite commercial of the Super Bowl was when the floats were fighting over the Coke and Charlie brown with his grin stole it away. Awesome stuff. I enjoyed.
I was indeed shocked to hear that Bobby Knight resigned as a coach the other day. He is a legend in college basketball. His antics were crazy but his methods were for real. He finished his career with 902 wins which impressive. He could be considered the greatest coach of all time. Bobby Knight you will never be forgotten
Well Shaquille O'Neil has been traded to the Pheonix for Shawn Marion. I really have no comment other then the fact that I think if Shaq becomes healthy again, the Suns will be in the Finals against Detroit or Boston. Can't wait to see him in a Suns uniform.
Well thats all from me for now. I am sure I'll have more at the end of the weekend once Daytona qualifying wraps up. Also Curtis Granderson hot a 5 year 30 million dollar deal. Well deserved I might add. Spring Season is almost here and I can't wait. And on that note I am out. God Bless
