What’s this? WWE made another video game? Does it look like the last one? Well.. yeah, probably. You know, slight tweaks and the shizz, but it’s bascially the same thing. However, instead of arenas from the ‘Attitude Era’, WWE 2K14 is based around WrestleMania, as 2014 will celebrate WrestleMania 30, with 29 WrestleMania arenas that apparently look ‘exactly’ like their real-life counterpart.
Does that mean when Triple H comes out in the WrestleMania 21 arena, Lemmy will forget the words to his theme music?
After another week of wrestling television, including Survivor Series, the crew comes back to talk about it. Joe, G, JT, and Jorge all settle in to talk about this wonderful world of Sports Entertainment once again. News topics include Kaitlyn being arrested, when Fandango will be seen, how desperate Lex Luger must be for money, who the most beautiful person in the history of WWE has been, and a pissed off CM Punk wondering why his appearances on AMC’s Talking Dead and the Chicago Turkey Day parade were not promoted better. All this, and much more! Tune in!
Joe, G, JT, and Jorge are joined by Alice Radley of Radley Wrestling Talk on this week’s episode of BWF Radio. The discussion covers the three main shows of WWE and TNA for the week. That goes off on a slight tangent as the crew discuss possible ways to put the Attitude back in to WWE, and the ways TNA could possibly compete with the kingpin. WrestleMania sales are discussed, as over 50,000 tickets have sold thusfar, two of which are in the hands of our fearless leader. All the great wrestling news is here too, including the whereabouts of Kenny King, the failure of Linda McMahon’s Senate campaign, who exactly told Vince McMahon he’s out of touch with the audience, and much, much more! Tune in to this super-sized edition of BWF Radio!
Unlike last week, I am coming into this episode with a better attitude. Perhaps this is a result of a vastly improved RAW (well, at least by comparison) and a mildly entertaining live Impact on Thursday. I’m not sure why my mindset is linked to other grappling content I partake, but it is. Let’s see if the WWE can continue this trend as Sin Cara returns tonight! Let’s have at it, shall we? (more…)
Hi I’m Matt B. Wrestle and with us today is Bobby L. (Last name withheld to protect identity from Vince’s lawyers). Bobby has a special gift for psychic predictions and has been featured on that show A&E Psychic Kids. Why is he here? Well we want to use him to predict the Rock vs Cena match and its implications at Wrestlemania 28. So lets ask the first Question.
Matt: After seeing the return of the Doctor of Thuganomics last week what do we have in store for Wrestlemania?
Bobby: I see a rough edge Cena who will be taking no garbage from anyone after Wrestlemania. I predict his feud with Kane has set Cena on his path.
Matt: So basically a return to the gray characters of the heralded Attitude Era?
Bobby: Yes and No. No because that era is dead and entertaining family oriented programs are still the driving ambition.
Matt:?.. We just saw Cena curse last week and references to pie and Cena’s lady parts.
Bobby: All just little touches that add to the overall feud that will dissipate once the feud concludes. A little tease to buy the PPV
Matt: So you predict that he will return harder edge but still family friendly even after the cursing and threatening to put his nuts in Rock’s face.
Bobbi: Yes.
I pause complexed by this theory. Or should I say prediction, he is psychic after all. I go through my notes searching for more clues to a harder edged program featuring more cursing and meta wrestling. I think I found it.
Matt: Eve Torres making out with Cena who is publicly acknowledged as married. Shouldn’t this be an issue?
Bobby: No I believe all will be forgotten by April 2nd. Dwayne will go back to acting full time and everything will return to normal. Or as normal as one goes with the creative team.
Matt: More fart divas and Bella Twin pushes?
Bobby: I don’t have to be a psychic to tell you the Divas suck. edit* No offense to the divas*
Matt: But with the emergence of the male roster like Ziggler, R-truth and even Santino Marella wouldn’t this clue in to a return to anything can happen television branching out from the Cena turn to Thuganomics at Wrestlemania?
Bobby: Are you okay?
Calming myself. I believe in the knowledge that this could be the final year of our existence. 2012. The Mayan calendar. Why wouldn’t the E just go balls to the wall and give us the gray character development that we came to love during the 90’s. I finally decide to take a breath and ask about the possibilty that this is in fact a reverse Hogan.
Bobby: A reverse Hogan?
Matt: Yeah Rock took on Hogan at Wrestlemania in the SkyDome, when Hulk was still NWO and after beating him turned him face. So is it possible that the plan could include a Cena heel turn after a win over the Rock?
Bobby pauses for a minute. Deep in thought. I was so expecting him to put his hand on his temples, Charles Xavier style but he just thinks on it. He appears to convulse suddenly and for a minute there I think I broke him with the impossible question. When hs eyes roll into the back of his head I’m almost ready to call the paramedics. But suddenly his hands go up to stop me.
Bobby: What you hope for seems to be certain. Only if WWe creative doesn’t hear about this interview first.
The dread takes over as I envision my own psychic revelation as Vince having one of his underlings coming across my article and deciding to change everything at the last minute. Invalidating this prediction and thus dooming us to another stale profitable Wrestlemania.
Matt: So we can’t tell anyone?
Bobby: Not it you want this to work out.
So I would have to release this article after Wrestlemania to preserve all hope that it comes true. I knew I was facing a dilemma. My reputation would be tarnished with fans. I couldn’t allow that but at the same time if the E changed it at the last minute I would still be suspect of fraud.
Matt: So I just can’t publish this article.
Bobby: Good move. Sometimes the best solution is to do nothing. Oh and that Randy Orton piece about his feud with Kane?
Matt: Yeah
Bobby: I wouldn’t even waste my time. That is just filler to give Orton something to do.
Matt: Are you sure?
Bobby: Dude. Who is the one with the A&E Show?
Matt: So I have no article to print on either front then.
I have to do something to publish a piece or I have nothing for Wrestlemania. I could d0 the Undertaker vs HHH. NO. Everyone and their mother has covered that Rocky sequel. Punk and Jericho. Hell no it would just be Cena vs Rock redux. Wait what about Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan. No. Wait if I scratch out HHH favorite Sheamus and do a piece on Daniel Bryan and his descent into main event villiany that would cover something new.
I hear you say.. what the hell are you doing here? You don’t write columns about wrestling. Bugger off to some other website and write about crap no-one cares about. That may be true, however this time. It is about wrestling.. well not just wrestling, as you’ll see later on. However, this column is all about the art of selling yourself. Say you’re new to a workplace, or it’s your first day at school, and you want to let people know, just who you are. I will give you advice on how to do just that.. after the opening of course.
Didn’t I just do SmackDown on Friday? That’s right, fellow Bored Wrestling Fans, this is ThinkSoJoE covering for the one and only Aly Kat (who just turned 20 this past week, BTW) as she’s probably stuck at work. Come to think of it, I’m stuck at work too! Difference is, I can watch RAW while I’m here (though I’m not really supposed to). Anyways, I’m excited at the prospect of covering tonight’s RAW as many experts are saying that this could be a very important night in one of the biggest storylines in recent memory. A few folks have said WWE could screw the whole CM Punk thing up tonight, but every one of them, and myself, are hoping that they don’t. Let’s see what happens!
Our Celebration of Professional Wrestling continues!
This weekend is very special for Professional Wrestling. See, friends, we’re approaching a very special WrestleMania. What makes this one so special, you ask? Well, on its own merit, it’s a fantastically-booked card, one of the best WrestleManias, on paper, in YEARS. A decade, in fact. A decade since WrestleMania X-Seven, the closest rival WrestleMania III has had to date, for the crown of “Best WrestleMania of all time.” A decade since WrestleMania X-Seven, the Last Hurrah of the Attitude Era, and the last great wrestling boom.
