Shawn Michaels: The Greatest of All Time

Weather Shawn Michaels stays retired or not, remains to be seen but I will go on record in saying that Shawn Michaels has to be the greatest of all time. I honestly think that no one will ever do what he did in pro wrestling. It all started at a young age for Shawn. The smartest thing he ever did was follow the career of Ric Flair because Flair had the ability of making people so much better then they actually were. Flair made guys like Sting, Luger, Magnum T.A., and others.

Shawn Michaels had a knack for making people into bigger stars then what they were before they worked with him. Let' think about the Clique itself. Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Sean Waltman, and Triple H did not get big until they were associated with Shawn Michael. When Scott Hall became Razor Ramon and Nash become Diesel they were on top of their game. Triple H was starting to become big when he and Shawn teamed up to form DX and from there HHH's career took off and they never left each others side. Shawn made every member of the Clique a legend in the wrestling buisness. Shawn Michaels also helped elevate the careers of Edge, Randy Orton, and many others in the WWE that are still around today.

When I think of how great of Shawn Michaels,  I think of the last seven and a half years of his career. When he made his return in 2002 he was better then he was the first time around. I look at every Wrestlemania match he has since he's come back and they all have been good. Here is who Shawn wrestled in last eight Wrestlemania's.

Wrestlemania 19- vs. Chris Jericho
Wrestlemania 20- vs. Triple H vs. Chris Beniot
Wrestlemania 21- vs. Kurt Angle
Wrestlemania 22- vs. Vince McMahon
Wrestlemania 23- vs. John Cena
Wrestlemania 24- vs. Ric Flair
Wrestlemania 25- vs. The Undertaker
Wrestlemania 26- vs. The Undertaker

He has not a bad Wrestlemania match since he has come back in 2002. All of these matches were phemonenal in their own way. Since Shawn Michaels returned in 2002 he has won the World Heavyweight Championship, and won the Tag Team titles twice. Shawn really never needed a title to prove he was the best because all he had to do is go out and perform in the ring. One of the greatest things I saw on TV was when Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart buried the hatchet on Monday Night Raw. It needed to be done and it was great to see both of them get some closure.

From a personal perspective, I love Shawn Michaels because he is a born again Christian who brings his faith to the ring and on TV. In 2002, when just two weeks before I had open heart surgery Shawn had his first match back in four and a half years. I told myself if Shawn can come back, then I will be able to come back. I was so excited when Shawn back at Summerslam 2002. He proved that he was still the best when he defeated Triple H in their streetfight. My whole view of pro wrestling changed with Summerslam 2005. It was Shawn Michaels vs. Hulk Hogan. Going in to that match Hogan was still my first favorite and Shawn my second. After the match Shawn beacme my favorite and here's why. Shawn proved that he could make people look so good and that he wasn't in it for himself. Shawn may have lost the match against Hogan but he made me realize what wrestling was about. It's about helping others and getting others over other then yourself. That's what Shawn was about, and that was about getting others over.

Shawn Michaels will go down as the greatest wrestler of all time. No one has done what he has done. He may not have had the limelight Flair or Hogan did but if you followed pro wrestling in the 90's you would know Shawn Michaels had the best matches of anyone that was wrestling. Shawn Michaels will always be the "The Showstopper," "The Headliner," "The Main Event," and "The Icon." Most importantly Shawn Michaels will simply always be known as "The Heartbreak Kid (HBK)" Thank you Shawn for the memories, the moments and congratulations on a wonderful career that will never be duplicated. Shawn Michaels has left the building...

WWE NXT- Episode 6 Recap

Last night NXT probably had it's best show yet. The Pro's Poll was revealed and it looked like this:

1. Daniel Bryan
2. Wade Barrett
3. Justin Gabriel
4. Heath Slater
5. David Otunga
6. Skip Sheffield
7. Michael Tarver
8. Darren Young

I think Otunga should be atleast 3rd, but the bottom three are pretty much accurate. I have not been impressed with any of them so far in the 6 weeks they have been doing it.

There was only two matches again this week, and the first was a tag match between R-Truth, Matt Hardy, CM Punk and Wade Barrett taking on Christian, Carlito, William Regal and The Miz. Wade Barrett filled on for Chris Jericho and got the win for his team with some help from Jericho that went unseen by the referee.

The Main Event was a Battle Royal with the winner of the match being the Guest Host of Monday Night Raw. The winner of the Battle Royal is David Otunga and he will guest host this weeks Monday Night Raw. What a great honor for him. Like I said my two favorites are Daniel Bryan and David Otunga. Keep checking back for more on NXT.

TNA Impact Recap- 3/29/2010

Last night on Impact Hulk Hogan and Jeff Jarrett made peace with each other and Hogan gave JJ a match against AJ Styles. Right after that Jay Lethal came in and did the Mega Powers handshake the Hulkster which was absolutely hilarious. For those of you who don't watch TNA Jay Lethal does the old Macho Man Randy Savage gimmick and calls him self Black Machismo. He does it almost as good as the original himself.

The first order of buisness was the Wolfpac came out to try and offer Eric Young a spot in their group. EY didn't accept and went aftet the Band. The Band starting beating down Eric until RVD and Jeff Hardy made the save. Hardy said that it would be a steel cage match.

The first match was Shannon Moore and Kazarian versus Doug Williams and Brian Kendrick. I love the X Division. It was a really good match and I think Shannon Moore has got a bright future ahead of him. WWE dropped the ball with him and I think TNA will use him the way he should have been used all along. Moore and Kazarian win and keep proving why the X Division is the best division in pro wrestling.

A lot of crazy things happened between matches like Samoa Joe resurfacing again and acting all weird. The Pope also got the best of Chelsea and Desmond Wolfe during an interview

The second match was Tara versus Daffney in a First Blood Match for the Knockouts Title. Not much really going on here except Tara took out Daffney pretty quick with toobox to the head causing Daffney to bleed.

Then there was Jeff Jarrett versus AJ Styles. Jarrett and Styles always have great matches and this one was no different. In the end, it was the interference from Ischoff and Flair allowing AJ to get the win.

Up next was Jay Lethal versus Beer Money Inc in a handicap match. Lethal won because Beer Money did too much showboating and Lethal had a funny celebration after the match where drank Beer Money's beer. Bischoff didn't look to happy so I am sure we will start seeing more out of Jay Lethal.

D'Angelo Dinero versus Desmond Wolfe was another classic match between the two. I really like the rivalry these two have. Wolfe won but I think The Pope is well on his way to becoming TNA Heavyweight Champion. He deserves it because of how much talent he has.

Before the main event Angle and Anderson exchanged words about Lockdown and their lives. This is going to be an explosive match at Lockdown and I for one cannot wait for it.

The main event was Jeff Hardy, Rob Van Dam and Eric Young versus The Band. I didn't really care for the match but it was great to see EY, RVD, and Hardy get crazy at the end to win the match. The show ended with Abyss naming Jeff Jarrett to his team for Lockdown. Next week Angle vs. Anderson in a Ladder Match. Check back next week for the recap on that

The Final Four is Here

Well I can certainly say that March Madness has definitely shocked me this year. There have been a lot of upsets, and a lot of buzzer beaters. The final four for Men's Bracket are Michigan State, Butler, Duke and West Virginia. Duke is the only number one seed among the four teams. Here is when they will be playing.

6:07PM on CBS
Final Four: Semifinal
Indianapolis, IN
Butler Bulldogs (28-4) vs. Michigan State Spartans (24-8)

8:47PM on CBS
Final Four: Semifinal
Indianapolis, IN
West Virginia Mountaineers (27-6) vs. Duke Blue Devils (29-5)

The National Championship Game will be played on April 5th.

The final four for the Women are UConn, Baylor, Stanford and the winner of Kentucky/Oklahoma. UConn has been on a roll and I have a feeling they will win it. They are just too dominant right now.

Good luck to all the teams remaining and keep providing us with some great basketball game. It's been a fun tournament to watch this year.

Carwin Shocks the World at UFC 111 and more

So I finally got a chance to watch UFC 111 and I was totally shocked at what happened. The Interim Heavyweight Championship bout between Frank Mir and Shane Carwin did not go the way I thought it would. In fact Carwin took out Mir in the first round which just absolutely nuts. Now Carwin faces even a bigger challange on July 3rd on that's against Brock Lesnar for the Unified Heavyweight Champion

In the Welterweight Title fight between Dan Hardy and champions St. Pierre, St. Pierre defeated Hardy by unanimous decision (50-43, 50-44, 50-45) to retain his UFC Welterweight championship. I think everyone knew that was going to happen and I have a feeling that St. Pierre will have that title for a long time to come.

A lot of big fights are coming up this spring and summer so here is the rundown of who is fighting soon.

UFC 112
Middleweight Championship bout: Anderson Silva (c) vs. Demian Maia
Lightweight Championship bout: B.J. Penn (c) vs. Frankie Edgar
Welterweight bout: Matt Hughes vs. Renzo Gracie

UFC 113
Light Heavyweight Championship bout: Lyoto Machida (c) vs. Mauricio RuA
Heavyweight bout: Kimbo Slice vs. Matt Mitrione

UFC 114
Light Heavyweight bout: Quinton Jackson vs. Rashad Evans
Light Heavyweight bout: Forrest Griffin vs. Antônio Rogério Nogueira

UFC 116
Heavyweight Championship Bout: Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Shane Carwin (c)
Wanderlei Silva vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama

Keep checking back for more fights to be signed. It should be a good spring and summer for the UFC.

The playoffs for hockey started two weeks ago just like basketball did and unfortunately I did not fair as well. I was in the championship bracket but I got knocked out but the first place team.

Hollywood's World of Sports 2-8-0
DIR Winners 8-2-0

The only two categories I won were A and +/-. My players for the two weeks were Zach Parise, and Patrick Marleau. I now will be playing to to determine who will finish 3rd and 4th for the year.

Wrestlemania 26 Results and Recap

Last night at Wrestlemania 26, careers and lives were changed forever. A lot of things happened that I didn't think were going to happen. Thr first match of the night was John Morrison and R-Truth taking on the Unified Tag Team Champions, The Big Show and Miz. It was a solid match for both teams but in the end Big Show had the knockout blow.

The next match was the triple threat match between Orton, DiBiase and Rhodes. This match went exactly the way I thought it would except for the ending. I really thought DiBiase would have won the match but Orton took out Rhodes with his signature punt and pinned DiBiase after an RKO. Both DiBiase and Rhodes gained some much need experience and will now go on to have pretty good singles careers. The viper proved again why he is still on top of his game.

The biggest shocker of the night came during the Money in the Bank. I really thought Christian would have won but he didn't. During the match Kofi, Christian, Evan Bourne and Matt Hardy all did some great moves off of the ladder. In the end, it was Jack Swagger who captured the Money in the Bank briefcase. That was huge and I honestly didn't think it was going to happen. Jack Swagger can now cash the briefcase in at anytime for the WWE or World Championship.

One of my favorite matches of the evening was Triple H and Sheamus. I really didn't have high expectations for this match but it was really awesome. I thought Sheamus was going to beat his off-screen mentor but Triple H proved once again why he is the game and he is that damn good.

CM Punk had been torturing Rey Mysterio for weeks but on this night Rey Mysterio got his revenge. Rey beat Punk in a solid match to keep Rey out of the StraightEdge Society. Rey Myseterio hasn't lost a Wrestlemania match since 2004 which I find that pretty impressive.

Bret Hart waited 13 years to get his hands on Vince McMahon, and with help from the Hart family, he destroyed Vince for a good 10-15 minutes. I for one didn't particularly care for the match because it was all one sided and all about Bret. I do like the fact that the Hart Dynasty got involved. That will probably bring their careers to new heights. Bret Hart went out on top the way he should have all along.

The next match was for the World Heavyweight Championship. Champion Chris Jericho took on challanger Edge. This match definitely had a different outcome then I expected. Jericho retained the title with a Codebreaker but Edge destroyed him after the match. I thought the match was done very well and both Canadian born superstars proved why Stu Hart trained some of the best wrestlers in the world.

The most pointless match of the night was the 10-Diva Tag Team Match which saw Vickie Guerrero pay tribute to her late husband Eddie Guerrero and actually hit a frog splash, which was the finishing move of Eddie. It was a good match but I didn't think it needed to be on Wrestlemania. They should have used that time to put towards Punk/Rey or the triple threat.

The WWE Championship match between John Cena and Batista was way better then the match they had at Summerslam back in 2008. I think the reason being is because the buildup was better, and that Batista was such a great heel. I think this was one of the best matches that either one of them have had in awhile. Cena countered the Batista bomb with the STF to win the WWE Championship once again. It was a great night for all those who love John Cena.

Then the match of matches, the streak vs. the career of Shawn Michaels was the main event of the evening. This match was truly an emotional match to watch. Both men for the second year in a row put everything on the line and left it in the ring. A lot of people didn't think this match would be as good as last years but in my opinion I thought it just as good as last years. They hit their finishers multiple times on each other but in the end the defiant Shawn Michaels was hit with the Tombstone and hit with the fact that his career is over. After the match Undertaker helped Shawn up and embraced him in the ring letting Shawn have his moment. The show ended with Shawn walking up the ramp and taking one last bow.

I really felt Wrestlemania 26 was better planned out then Wrestlemania 25. The reason Wrestlemania 26 was better is because the best match was the last match. It seemed like all the matches were great and then they had Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels at the end to make sure it didn't overshadow the rest of the card like it did last year. The only other time a non title match was the main event at Wrestlemania was at Wrestlemania 8 when Hulk Hogan took on Sid Justice. Obviously that match doesn't even compare to what Shawn and Taker did last night. I would rate Wrestlemania 26 8 out of 10. Wrestlemania is over and now it's time for the fallout to begin tonight. Who knows whats going to happen. Stay tuned.

Road to Wrestlemania 26- Week 8

Well this is, it was final week leading up to Wrestlemania 26. A lot of momentum was gained and lost with people this week. Monday Night Raw started with Shawn Michaels talking about his Wrestlemania match against the Undertaker. Undertaker aired a video package of Shawn Michaels career with it ended saying "Shawn Michaels career: 1985-2010." Pete Rose then came out and announced Shawn vs. Kane for later on during the night. John Morrison defeated The Miz in one on one competition showing why gaining momentum into Wrestlemania can be very important. Kofi Kingston defeated Vladimir Kozloff to finally get into Money in the Bank. All I got to say it's about time. In my opinion Kofi should have been the first one in it. I am really hoping he or Christian wins it. Sheamus, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase def. Triple H and Randy Orton in a 3-on-2 Handicap Match. A brawl ensued after the match with Triple H standing tall on his way to Wrestlemania.

There were two confrontations with one of them ending in a brawl. Bret Hart and Vince McMahon exchanged words but nothing happened. The second confrontation between John Cena and Batista ended in a brawl. I personally can't wait for this match on Sunday. I think it's going to better then Summerslam 2008. Shawn Michaels did take on Kane and despite interference from Undertaker Shawn won the match and is on his way to possibly what could be his last match at Wrestlemania. Can the showstopper deliver a performance of a lifetime or will his show be stopped?

I watched Smackdown early because somehow it gets posted on the internet early but anyways the show ended with a 10 man tag that includes Drew McIntyre, Matt Hardy, Shelton Benjamin, Kane and Dolph Ziggler taking on Evan Bounre, Kofi Kingston, MVP, Jack Swagger and Christian. McIntyre got the pin on Christian and a brawl broke out after the match. Beth Pheonix lost in a 5-on-1 handicap match agaisnt Michelle McCool, Layla, Alicia Fox, Maryse and Vickie. Nothing special here. Jericho and Edge had their confrontation with both men staring each other down. The last match before Wrestlemania was R-Truth taking on the Big Show. The match ultimately got thrown at because it all broke loose between the two teams fighting this Sunday.

This Sunday it's all on the line at Wrestlemania 26 and nothing gets held back. Everyone is bringing their A game. Here is the final card for Wrestlemania.

The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels
Bret Hart vs. Mr. McMahon
WWE Champion Batista vs. John Cena
World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho vs. Edge
Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Unified Tag Team Champion Big Show & The Miz vs. John Morrison & R-Truth
Triple H vs. Sheamus
Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase vs. Cody Rhodes (Triple Threat Match)
CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio

WWE NXT- Episode 5 Recap

Not much happened WWE NXT this week. In fact their were only two matches this week. The first contest was Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel took on Skip Sheffield and Wade Barrett. Christian and William Regal showed up to see how their pro's did. Slater and Gabriel got the victory and which pleased Christian and ticked off Regal.

The second match had Darren Young and David Otunga taking on Michael Tarver and Daniel Bryan. Daniel Bryan was in the match the whole time and Michael Tarver refused to tag in. The Straight Edge Society helped Otunga and Young get the win. Carlito didn't look to happy with Tarver after the match.

At the end of this week this where each wrestler is, in terms of their record.

Daniel Bryan 0-5
Darren Young 3-1
David Otunga 3-1
Heath Slater 4-0
Justin Gabriel 3-1
Michael Tarver 0-3

Bob Uecker Named to the WWE Hall of Fame

Every year the WWE has a celebrity inductee that gets inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame for their contributions to being on a Wrestlemania. This year's celebrity inductee is Bob Uecker. Uecker whose baseball career was less then stellar is more known for being a commentator and being in the Major League movies. He does have to accomplishments in his baseball career and those are the Ford C. Frick Award in 2003 and being a part of the 1964 St. Louis World Series championship team. He's done commentating for NBC, and ABC.

In terms of WWE and Wrestling he appeared on Wrestlemania 3 and 4. He's most known for his interaction with Andre the Giant and Jesse Ventura. He also had the hots for Vanna White at Wrestlemania 4 as well. I've always enjoyed Bob Uecker and thought he was funnier then hell in the Major League movies. He played such a good drunk and it was funny. As a baseball and wrestling fan it's could to see Mr. Baseball get some much deserved recognition.

Uecker joins William "The Refrigerator" Perry and Pete Rose as the only other celebrities to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Congratulations to all the other inductees this year. You all deserve it.

Wrestlemania 26 Predictions

As of last night the Wrestlemania 26 card is official and final. Here are the matches along with my thoughts and predictions.

Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk (If Punk wins, Mysterio joins the Straight Edge Society)
This could actually be the match of the the night. CM Punk has always wanted to wrestle Rey Mysterio at Wrestlemania and now he gets his wish. I think Mysterio wins and avoids being put into the Straight Edge Society.

Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Ted DiBiase
This match will be a great match but I think Ted DiBiase will win the match. He's inducting his father into the Hall of Fame the night before and it's he grew up in Arizona as a little kid. I think you're going to see some great things from all three but DiBiase will highlight the match.

Triple H vs. Sheamus
Most people don't know but Sheamus is Triple H's training partner so in a lot of ways it's teacher vs. student without that being shown on TV. I think Sheamus is going to have biggest victory of his career. I really love how Triple H is taking a step back out of the Main Event and letting the spotlight shine on someone else. He knows he has to start building the younger guys up for their to be a future in WWE. This match is a start.

Unified WWE Tag Team Championship
ShoMiz (The Big Show and The Miz) (c) vs. John Morrison and R-Truth
I think Morrison and Truth will win because WWE needs something dynamic and no one is more dynamic then these two. I think it's time that Morrison and Truth will be all over the place on Sunday and they will walk away with the gold.

No Holds Barred
Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon
Thirteen years fans have waited for this and I really think that Bret Hart is going out the way he should have all along. Bret Hart will give Vince the beating of his life and he will leave with a happy ending. Bret will prove that he still is the best there is, the best there was and perhaps the best there ever will be.

Money in the Bank ladder Match
Christian vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Kane vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Jack Swagger vs. Montel Vontavious Porter vs. Matt Hardy vs. Evan Bourne vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Kofi Kingston
Well in my opinion their are two guys I am picking for this match. I really think Kofi Kingston or Christian will win. They are the most two deserving of a title shot. Kofi is definitely the future of the WWE if they actually use him right. I am glad they gave him more of an attitude and made him more serious. As far as Christian goes, it's a given. He is World Champion material and he proved that in his time in TNA. WWE needs to see the same thing and give him a chance to shine even more.

WWE Championship Match
Batista (c) vs. John Cena
The first time around Batista won the match and in my opinion the match sucked because there was no buildup. I think this match is going to be awesome because of the insane buildup. I think Cena will win the match and prove again why he is the biggest star in WWE, as much as I don't like him. This is the dream match everyone has waited for and this time it's done be right. Cena will get the gold back once again.

Undertaker's undefeated streak vs. Michaels' career
No disqualification, No count-out
The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels
I think we all have to face the facts that Shawn Michaels career is over and that The Undertaker will go 18-0. It's going to be hard to repeat what they did last year but because their are no rules in this match I see something crazy happening. If Shawn's going out, he's going to go out in a blaze of glory. I think this match will be match of the year again. Farewell Shawn you have had a wonderful career.

World Heavyweight Championship
Chris Jericho (c) vs. Edge
Edge will complete his comeback journey by winning the World Heavyweight Championship. How ironic is it that Stu Hart is being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and two of his students are in the main event of Wrestlemania. I think these men are going to show why Stu Hart was the greatest Wrestling trainer in this business and they are going to have a classic World Title match. Edge will walk aways being a 10-time World Champion.

So there you have it my Wrestlemania 26 predictions. Check back next Monday for Wrestlemania 26 results and recap. There will be "Destruction in the Desert" and it will be "The Showcase of the Immortals" once again. It's Wrestlemania!

TNA Impact Recap- 3/22/2010

Last night on TNA Impact the show started off with Eric Bischoff playing his guitar in the ring saying how he's a musician and that it disgusts him that Jeff Jarrett uses the guitar as a prop. Jarrett comes and wants to hit Eric but then walks aways. Eric proceeds to talk about Jeff's children so Jeff comes back and smashes Eric with a guitar. When it comes back to the commercial Bischoff announces Foley vs. Jarrett in a match and whoever loses is fired from TNA. The special guest referee are Beer Money.

The first match of the evening was Tara, Sarita, Taylor Wilde and Angelina Love taking on The Beautiful People and Daffney. This match was all over the place and was actually a very good match. Unfortunately for Tara she tried getting her spider back and lost the match because she lost focus.

Hulk Hogan came out an announced that Abyss will be the captain of Team Hogan and Sting will be the captain of Team Flair. Sting, and AJ ambushed Hogan and Abyss until The Pope came out and made the save. Don't forget it will The Pope vs. AJ Styles at Lockdown for the TNA Championship.

The second match of the evening was for the TNA Global Championship between Rob Terry(C) and Tomko. This was a squash match in every sense of the word. I love what they are doing with Rob Terry.

The third match of the evening as Jeff Jarrett taking on Mick Foley in a loser gets fired match. Both men brought their A game but in the end Jarrett hit the Stroke and pinned Foley. Foley is gone from TNA for good. After the match Beer Money attacked Jarrett until RVD and Jeff Hardy made the save. Beer Money accepts Hardy's and RVD's challange to a match later on.

In the third match Hernandez tried to get some revenge on Matt Morgan but it wasn't so. Hernandez recieved a Carbon Footprint into the ring post and was taken out by ambulance. His former LAX tag team partner Homicide was by his side. Hogan and Dixie Carter also were in the back making sure Hernandez was okay. More on this situatuon next week but I guarentee you Hogan will have something instore for Matt Morgan.

Then there was the Main Event of the night which had Match Five Jeff Hardy and Rob Van Dam taking on Beer Money Inc. Now these are the kinds of matches I am talking about. All these guys are fairly young and can still put on great matches so this is what TNA needs to do. RVD and Jeff Hardy got the win but after the match Eric Young grabbed a microphone and said he was taking on The Band next week. The show ended with the three posing in the ring. Next week is going to be great so tune in.

Even More NFL Moves

There is still a lot of movement in the NFL going on so I try to update what's going on about once a week. So here are some of the bigger moves that have taken place.

The Arizona Cardinal agreed to terms with LB Joey Porter on a three-year contract. This will definitely make the Cardinals defense a lot better then they were. The Arizona Cardinals also agreed to terms with QB Derek Anderson on a two-year contract. With Kurt Warner retired it's a battle between Anderson and Leinhart as to who becomes the new starting QB in Arizona

The Washington Redskins signed QB Rex Grossman which will put more pressure on their current QB's to get the job done.

The Cincinatti Bengals agreed to terms with S Roy Williams on a one-year contract. This will definitely make Cincy's backfield a lot better and will also help them have better coverage on pass plays.

The San Fransisco 49ers signed QB David Carr to a two-year contract. They also traded QB Shaun Hill to Detroit for an undisclosed 2011 draft pick. Speaking of Detroit they lost Larry Foote to free agency who ended up re-signing with Pittsburgh.

Those are the latest moves in the NFL. The NFL Draft isn't to far from happening so it should be interesting to see what else happens before then. Stay tuned for more.

TNA Destination X Results

Last night was TNA Destination X and it was definitely high flying and explosive. The first match of the evening was a Ladder Match for the number one Contendership of the TNA X Division Championship and it was Kazarian vs. Daniels vs. Brian Kendrick vs. Amazing Red. This match got crazy in a hurry. It was fast pace, and non stop action. Kaz eventully won the match and became the new number one contender.

The next match was Tara taking on Daffney. It was a quick match that saw Tara keep her title but Daffney took off with her spider. Unfortunately this feud is far from over. In another quick match, Rob Terry defeated Brutus Magnus to keep his Global Championship. Rob Terry has been on a role and I really think this guy could be a future World Heavyweight Champion.

Next up was the number one Contendership for the TNA Tag Team Championship and it was an Ultimate X Match between Generation Me and The Motor City Machine Guns. This much was definitely the best match of the night. The Machine Guns eventually won the match thanks to Chris Sabin's experience and now have a shot the Tag Team Championships. I will say this though, Generation Me was awesome. I've never seen anyone do the stuff they did last night. They definitely have a bright future in TNA.

Well the Kevin Nash and Eric Young vs. Scott Hall and Syxx Pac went a little differently then I expected. Nash turned on Young allowing Hall and Pac to get their contracts. The Band is back together and I have a feeling they are going to do Eric Bischoff's bidding for them. I have a feeling Nash/Hall/Syxx Pac will feud with Jarrett/Foley/Young and it will be a match a Lockdown. Who knows though?

In another X Division match the X Division Championship was on the line between champion Doug Williams and challanger Shannon Moore. Shannon Moore had things going his way until Doug Williams hit him with a brick and busted him open for the win. After the match Williams mocked Moore and the entire X Division saying he's better then all of them.

The next match was a strange match for the TNA Tag Team Titles. It was between the dysfunctional team of Hernandez and Matt Morgan taking on challangers Beer Money Inc. The whole match Matt Morgan refused to help Hernandez but eventually Beer Money made a mistake and Hernandez capitalized with the win. After the match Morgan took out Hernandez and carried both tag titles to the back with him. Can you say tag team nightmare? I think we are going to see an LAX reunion pretty soon.

One of the best matches of the night was Kurt Angle vs. Mr. Anderson. This match was a knockdown dragout and it could have gone either way. Kurt Angle got the win but Anderson kept running his mouth even after his lost. This is another feud that I think is far from over.

The Main Event of the evening was between TNA Champion AJ Styles and Abyss. This was a great match that got chaotic towards the end. Ric Flair interfered, Hulk Hogan interfered with Earl Hebner and Desmond Wolfe also got involved. In the end Abyss chokeslammed AJ Styles through the ring and sent Flair and Wolf along with him. The show ended with Hogan and Abyss posing in the ring together.

What an awesome pay-per-view and I cannot wait for the fallout of it on Impact. Lockdown is just a few short weeks away and I for one cannot wait for it. Until then keep checking back for Impact recaps and Lockdown matches.

Bristol- Half a mile of fun and excitement

By Liz Walker

So after a week off of racing we come back to race at one of my favorite tracks. Bristol is one of the shortest tracks NASCAR drivers race on during the season. This makes for tight racing and leads to many cautions. It also provides many on the edge of your seat moments for fans.

So the race started out smooth with Joey Logano leading with Kurt Busch following a close second. In the first six laps the lead changes three times. Joey lead the starting lap, only to be passed by Kurt, who then lost the lead to Jimmie one lap later. Jimmie then goes on to puts five drivers one lap down by lap 30.

Road to Wrestlemania 26- Week 7

This week on the Road to Wrestlemania, we saw many rematches on Raw of past Wrestlemania's. The show opened up with Stone Cold Steve Austin talking about the night's agenda. John Cena then came out for Wrestlemania 20 rematch against The Big Show. Cena had things in hand but was distracted by Batista, and that allowed Big Show to win the match. Divas Champion Maryse defeated Kelly Kelly in a match that wasn't even worth watching. In a Wrestlemania 19 rematch Shawn Michaels defeated World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho by Count-out. Edge then came out to spear Jericho again. Triple H and Randy Orton ended in a No Contest when Legacy and Sheamus interfered in the match. This setup a handicap match for Monday pitting Randy Orton and Triple H against Sheamus and Legacy. In the Main Event WWE Champion Batista defeated Kofi Kingston. Then what surprised everyone Bret Hart revealed that he was not injured and attacked Vince after they signed their contract.

Smackdown was just as crazy as Raw was. The show started out with John Morrison and R-Truth defeated The Hart Dynasty. I really wish The Hart Dynasty was involved with Wrestlemania ecspecially considering that Bret is but what are you going to do? Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler defeated Matt Hardy and MVP which was a highlight of some of the Money in the Bank Ladder match participants. Luke Gallows defeated Rey Mysterio but before the match Mysterio accepts Punks challange to a match at Wrestlemania. In the Main Event, Undertaker defeated Intercontinental Champion Drew McIntyre but then was attacked by Shawn Michaels to end the show.

TNA Destination X Predictions

This Sunday is Destination X and it will feature a lot of the X Division wrestlers and then some. In my mind TNA has been on a role even though the ratings don't show it. I think if people tune in to this pay-per-view people will realize how good TNA really is. Here are my predictions for this Sunday


TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
TNA World Champion AJ Styles vs. Monster Abyss
Well as AJ pointed out Monday Abyss has never beaten him before but I think that will change this Sunday. I think Abyss will become the new TNA World Champion and have a title reign longer then a month this time.

THE ULTIMATE X MATCH
Generation Me vs. Motor City Machine Guns to determine #1 Tag Team Division Challengers
I really think Generation Me is going to win this match. The fans are solidly behind them and they are getting a huge push. They remind me of another version of the Hardy Boys and I think that's why they are so popular. I love the MCMG but they have held titles before and I think they are going to feud over they tag titles eventually.

TNA GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Champion Rob Terry vs. Magnus
This one is easy, Big Rob Terry will win this match. He's on a roll, the fans love him now and he's a monster that won't be stopped unless it's by another monster.

X DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champion Doug Williams vs. Shannon Moore
Magnus won't be the only losing a match that night either. I really think Shannon Moore is finally going to be able to show his true skills that he never got show in WWE. Shannon will also have the title put on him to try and get certain friends of his attention.

TNA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champions Matt Morgan and Hernandez vs. Beer Money
I am not sure about this but the way things are going between Morgan and Hernandez I think Beer Money will win the titles and go on to dominate the tag team division. I think Hernandez and Morgan will break up their team and feud with each other.

CHALLENGE MATCH
Mr. Anderson vs. Kurt Angle
This rivalry is awesome. Their is so much hatred between these two and it's a rivalry that never happened in WWE. I honestly don't think this rivalry will end Sunday. It will continue until Lockdown. I think Kurt Angle will win this match and make it even against Mr. Anderson

KNOCKOUTS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champion Tara vs. Daffney
Do I really care? I hate Daffney's character and I hate the fact that she is a sloppy wrestler. I think Tara will keep her title and fight a lot more deserving challangers then Daffney.

TNA CONTRACT - OR LEAVE THE COMPANY FOR GOOD
Eric Young and Kevin Nash vs. Hall and Waltman
Well I will tell you what I think. I think Nash is going to lay down and let Hall or Waltman pin him and reform the band. All four of them will then take out anyone they feel neccessary. That's what I think, will it happen? probably not. I think this is another feud that people have been dying to see and it will come to it's conclusion at Lockdown in April.

LADDER MATCH
Kazarian vs. Daniels vs. Amazing Red vs. Brian Kendrick
This is the match I want to see the most. This will be the show stealer and the one that gets everyones attention. All four men will be fighting for a shot at the X Division title and I think Brian Kendrick will win and go on to to feud with Shannon Moore, another feud that never happened in WWE.

The way I see TNA is putting out their best product on Sunday and I think it's going to be a great pay-per-view. Don't be surprised you see something happen with Hardy, RVD, Sting, Foley or Jarrett. I am sure will all be in the Impact Zone on Sunday. Check back on Monday for the recap and results of the pay-per-view.

WWE NXT- Episode 4 Recap

Well another episode of WWE NXT has come and gone. The show started off with CM Punk and Darren Young defeating Matt Hardy and Justin Gabriel. Although Young got the win, he was beatdown by Luke Gallows after the match. It was an interesting match to say the least. Punk and Young are two totally different characters so it's funny to see them interacting with each other.

The Miz has been not so nice to his rookie, Daniel Bryan and put him in a match in which he lost to The Great Khali. The Big Show also interfered in the match and chokeslammed Bryan. Daniel Bryan has not won a match yet on NXT but the people still love him.

Another match that was interesting was when Heath Slater defeated Michael Tarver. Slater won the match but Tarver leveled him after the match using his boxing skills that he has. Tarver has not won a match yet but he is still looking pretty hungry.

In the Main Event Wade Barrett defeated Skip Sheffield. Sheffield was without his WWE Pro William Regal and left to fend for himself. Wade Barrett looks impressive and Sheffied looks like a joke with his character. I'll be curious to see who gets those contracts. Rumor has it, that the winners have already been revealed but I am not mentioning names. Stay tuned for more.

Gorgeous George Named to the WWE Hall of Fame

When I think of Gorgeous George I think of someone being flamboyant and charismatic. I have seen old videos of him and he was so outrageous in the 40's and 50's. He wrestled for 30 years and died at a young age of 48. Even major stars like Muhammad Ali and James Brown said they were influenced by George Wagner and his character in the ring.

Gorgeous George held the AWA World Heavyweight Championship at one point in his career. He also feuded with Bruno Sammartino, Lou Thez, and Classy Freddie Blassie. Gorgeous George may be gone but he will never be forgotten. All these years later and he's finally being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Gorgeous was way a head of his time and was the first star to be controversial, and outrageous in the ring.

Congratulations to Gorgeous George for being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
