Let’s Get Ready To Rumble
Tonight is the Royal Rumble. So it’s time for always-incorrect-and-totally-fanboy Predictions!
Antonio Cesaro vs The Miz (US Title Pre-Show)
I think there’s two ways this could go. Right now, The Miz doesn’t really have anything to fight for or anyone to fight against. So he needs an enemy. Surely trying to win back his title would give him that push. However, he’s The Miz. Ric Flair just gave him a career boost. It’d be a bit strange to see him lose now.
So, with that, I say The Miz wins.
WINNER: The Miz
Team Hell No vs Team Rhodes Scholars (WWE Tag Team Titles)
Sadly, I think we may just see the last of Team Hell No tonight. It’s been a great run but they’ve graduated from anger management so the whole reason for throwing them together has changed. I can’t imagine these two guys want to stay out of singles competition for too much longer so I’ll say that Team Rhodes Scholars wins.
WINNER: Team Rhodes Scholars
Alberto Del Rio v The Big Show (Last Man Standing Match for World Heavyweight Championship)
I’ve said this every PPV so I will say it again, tonight is the night that Dolph Ziggler cashes in. I’ll explain the other half of my reasoning for that a bit later but I think that Big Show will lose this match. Alberto Del Rio will go on to retain only to have Show beat him up. Then, before the Rumble, Ziggler will cash in.
Winner: Alberto Del Rio/Dolph Ziggler
CM Punk v The Rock (WWE Title)
I am super excited for this match. I’ve loved The Rock this time around, it was like having the old Rock back. This is a tough one to call because I think having The Rock win would be a bad idea. The guy isn’t going to stick around for house shows and such and I think it’d devalue the title which Punk has done a good job of making it worth something again. This match, however, is more about the people. As I’ve always said, Rock isn’t in it for gold. He is in it for the people. That’s the difference here.
I think this could go a few ways.
Firstly, The Rock could win it straight. That’s very possible.
Secondly, CM Punk could win it straight. He’s always said he’s a great wrestler so beating The Rock without interference would be a great way to prove it.
Thirdly, CM Punk wins with outside interference. It can’t be The Shield, but Paul Heyman and Brad Maddox have cut a deal and Heyman promised to make him famous. Could this be Maddox’s big shot at taking out The Rock?
Lastly, CM Punk could get screwed by Heyman. Punk has always denied being part of any Shield/Maddox shenanigans but Heyman’s never made any statement saying he had nothing to do with it. What if, all along, Heyman has been plotting to have Punk win by cheating because he doesn’t really believe in him? Punk could discover this before the match and warn Heyman to stay away. Heyman’s revenge could be for The Shield and Maddox to invade the ring first beating up The Rock meaning Punk gets stripped and then beating on Punk. Punk goes away with nothing and so does The Rock.
It’s far-fetched but I like it. I’m going with the last one.
WINNER: Nobody!
The 30-Man Royal Rumble
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I think WWE are shutting down the whole SuperShow business and will instead merge the two which means they’ll merge the titles. I think the man they want to merge it with is Dolph Ziggler.
So I think that Ziggler will cash in to become World Heavyweight Champion before the Rumble. Then, he’ll enter at Number 1 (per Vickie Guerrero) and actually go on to WIN the Royal Rumble. The last two? Ziggler and Cena.
Ziggler will cheat his way to a win, eliminating Cena (who will win the vacated WWE title) and going on to Wrestlemania to win the WWE Title and become Duel Champion.
WINNER: Dolph Ziggler
The above predictions most likely will not happen but it’d be amazing if they did.
What are your predictions?
Let me know!

A Rocky Road To Wrestlemania
This week’s Raw was a real doozy. Royal Rumble is up there with my favourite WWE PPVs, so the Raw before it had to be good.
Can I also say how much I’m loving The Rock’s run this time around? He really does make me laugh.
Anyways, in terms of story, where are we at?
Vickie Guerrero & Paul Heyman
These two are growing ever closer as WWE hints more and more at an alliance between the two. The two previous enemies are conspiring together to destroy their mutual enemy – The Rock. This week they both enjoyed taunting The Rock because Vickie had him banned from ringside.
However, we all know that Paul Heyman is a man who uses people when he needs to and, well, Vickie always loves being around people who shower her with compliments so this evil partnership could be over before it even truly starts but a Vickie/Paul Raw takeover would be amazing.
The Big Show & Alberto Del Rio
Ever since he got an unbreakable, Big Show has been relatively unstoppable. He doesn’t care about the fans adoration, he just wants to win gold. This means he’s more ruthless than ever. He proved that further this week when he beat Zack Ryder in what has to be some sort of record time for the Long Island Iced Z. Poor Ryder was out for the count and Show tried to count to ten but was interrupted by the WWE Universe.
I sort of feel sorry for Show. He’s tried all his life to be accepted by the fans but they’ve never been truly behind him. He’s always stood out for being a giant. I feel like, deep down, he just wants to be loved.
Either way, Show sent a clear message to his Rumble opponent Alberto Del Rio that he’s not to be messed with. Del Rio then did the same by defeating another giant, Lord Tensai. With that Del Rio was able to say “David always beats Goliath”.
Brad Maddox
I can’t help but think there’s more behind the Brad Maddox story. The obvious guess is that he’s secretly the one behind The Shield. Who knows? First of all, Brad Maddox managed to finally convince Paul Heyman to take him on as a client. Heyman promised Maddox that he’d “make him famous”.
Maddox then appeared on commentary after jumping the barrier during the Ryder/Show match. Maddox is great on commentary and he plays the douchebag confidently.
Either way, we have seen the last of Brad Maddox and I couldn’t be happier. Dude knows how to rock formal wear.
CM Punk & The Rock
This week was more of the same between this pair and I don’t mean to sound negative there. It’s not a bad thing. There’s a clear narrative here. Punk hates how Rock can just walk back in to a title opportunity when he’s scratched and clawed his way through 433 (as of today) Days of being champion. The Rock, however, hates that Punk doesn’t respect the fans. The people. Punk thinks the people don’t matter but to, The Rock, they’re all that matters.
I’m excited for their match because, just like Rock/Cena, I really can’t predict it.
CM Punk & Mr McMahon
These two men have never gotten along and Vince once again thwarted any future Punk plot. He warned Punk that, if The Shield interrupt in his match against The Rock, he’ll be stripped of his title.
Dolph Ziggler
Dolph’s progression continued on Raw when he beat the clock which allowed him to pick his number in the Rumble. Dolph’s continuous wins and triumphs mean he’s really starting to build momentum.
Dolph Ziggler & Sheamus
Dolph thwarted Sheamus’ attempts at being able to win the Royal Rumble beat the clock challenge. This is a continuation of the idea of Dolph taking what was Sheamus’ title. No doubt Sheamus will want his revenge at the Rumble.
Dolph Ziggler, AJ & Vickie Guerrero
Dolph and AJ’s relationship meant the end of his and Vickie’s. A shame really but I guess it had to end at some point. Dolph believes he now has power over his own path and that Vickie can’t affect him anymore. This quickly changed. Vickie still has the power and this meant that Dolph will enter the Rumble at either #1 or #2.
Team Hell No
Team Hell No graduated from anger management which I think signals a change in their dynamic. Now, they’ll be able to interact with each other better because they’ve learnt how to control it. These two are real fun together but I know all good things must come to an end. Perhaps without the help of Doctor Shelby, these two will pull apart.
Jerry Lawler & Michael Cole
The Cole/Lawler feud ended very quickly after Lawler’s heart attack and we’ve all been waiting at home for things to reset and Cole becoming a dick again. Truth is, commentary has worked much better with Lawler and Cole getting along and ribbing each other. Either way, the feud between them was well and truly over when Kane and Daniel Bryan forced them to hug.
The Shield
After attacking The Rock, it’s clear The Shield are out of control. Heyman tried to protest that they’ve attacked people who aren’t Punk’s opponents but it’s becoming a little too close to home. Could Punk really be behind The Shield? After all, he’s got previous with The New Nexus.
The Shield, however, kept their video promise to take down The Rock which means the targets on their other named foes have just gotten bigger. I have a feeling The Shield will have a huge presence at the Royal Rumble.
John Cena
I have a feeling that WWE doesn’t quite know what to do with Cena. Cena’s still at the top but he’s running out of places to go. He’s had a few passing-of-the-torch stories with Punk and Ziggler as well as a few high profile matches with The Rock and Brock Lesnar but it’s hard to see where Cena fits. It’s time for Cena to get properly into the title race.
If my prediction that WWE is to merge the belts using Dolph Ziggler is correct, I think that Cena will be his first opponent for the Unified WWE Championship. Otherwise, there isn’t much else for Cena to do.
So that’s my look back at Raw and the stories that developed.
I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Beat The Cock
This week’s Raw was rich in entertainment but not in hotness.
Well, except for Dolph’s epic ass reveal. But, I love you all too much to leave you out cold. So, here’s a small gallery of some hot pics from Raw.

The Wednesday Wedgie
Hey all!
The Wednesday Wedgie is BACK.
It’s not so much wedgies as asses I like as wedgies and pantsings don’t happen a lot.
But these past two weeks, my dreams have come true.
Dolph Ziggler’s ass has been SET FREE.
Enjoy.

Tuesday Turn-On
Monday’s are tough, you’re slowly getting over the weekend but for me, Tuesday are the worst.
I mean, it’s not halfway through the week. It’s like you’re trapped.
BUT… I may be able to put a smile on your face with my Tuesday Turn-On!
Enjoy.

Raw Predictions – 21st January 2013
Last week’s Raw 20th Anniversary Special was fantastic. I really enjoyed it. But what might happen tonight?
Well…
Wade Barrett & Randy Orton
Wade has come back fighting and his story has moved on rather quick. It looked like he was going to end up in a heated battle with Kofi Kingston but that didn’t last two long when he became Intercontinental Champion. Now, it’s been about finding a worthy opponent for Wade. But who could that be? Well, the last time Wade had a decent feud with someone was with Randy. Wade threw Randy down some stairs and the mind games between them were excellent.
So, I think that’s the direction they’re heading. I think it’s clear these two men hate each other and I just can’t forsee Orton winning the Rumble. I think we’ll see a title match made for the Rumble too.
Team Hell No & Team Rhodes Scholars
A solid feud that’s been real fun to watch. I think the reason why Team Hell No really hate Team Rhodes Scholars is because TRS get on well without the need of therapy or tactics. They’re naturally friends. I almost feel like THN resent the fact they have to work so hard to like each other. It’s actually quite sad when you think about it.
So I think this resentment will continue tonight.
The Shield & Ryback
The Shield will no doubt interfere in some matches. I’m predicting they’ll jump Randy Orton which they threatened to do on Smackdown. The Mick Foley element of things seems interesting at least. The Shield believe that Foley’s need to put himself on the line so frequently has meant that other wrestlers have had to up their game, to dangerous results, in order to keep the crowd happy. This was something explored in an online feud between Foley and Dean Ambrose, before Ambrose joined Raw with The Shield.
Ryback, however, respects Foley and will protect him at any costs. So I’m predicting that Ryback will take to the mic and warn The Shield he’s coming after them to which The Shield will appear on the tron, having kidnapped and beaten Foley. Warning Ryback that his injustice will be the next to be stopped.
The Miz & Antonio Cessaro
After being handed the torch by Ric Flair, good-guy Miz is now in full force. And it looks like Cessaro’s US Title is in his sights. I predict that Miz will have Cessaro on MizTV and the two will end up grappling. Perhaps a US Title Match will be made for the Rumble Pre-Show.
Dolph Ziggler (AJ Lee and Big E Langston) & John Cena / Big Show, Del Rio & Sheamus
Ziggler’s in a weird transition. He’s in a great battle with John Cena which is pretty much a way of WWE saying that Ziggler is now one of the guys. It’s akin to the Mafia making someone a Made Man. But at the same time, Ziggler’s Money In The Bank is needing to be cashed. It’s well known my predictions are terrible but I can’t help but think that WWE is ready to drop the SuperShow stuff and combine the two shows… and the two titles. More on that in my Rumble predictions sometime soon.
As for Raw. I think there’ll be a mix here. I think Big Show will continue his anger about Del Rio’s title win. Sheamus will continue to enjoy goading his old foe and Del Rio will join in. There will no doubt be some sort of match there.
Either way, Ziggler’s star looks about to reach the highest echelon.
CM Punk & The Rock
In regards to The Rock, I think CM Punk will take the opportunity to continue to goad him about not being a real wrestler when he is the best in the world. Their confrontation last week was super heated and the story here is clear. The Rock is a movie star, fans adore him and chant his name and everything seems easy to him. Punk, however, has scratched and clawed his way to the top and he feels that The Rock doesn’t deserve a title shot when he hasn’t been around.
The Rock takes that as disrespect.
We’ll see something along those lines and, if Rock is in attendance, maybe fists will fly.
So they’re my predictions.
What are yours?
Let me know.

Welcome Back
Hello everyone!
I hope that the time away wasn’t too difficult.
So, you’re probably wondering why I took time out (again!). The truth was, I was getting a bit fed up of blogging. I didn’t feel I was doing it enough and then I felt I was trying to emulate other blogs too much. The truth is, this site is dumb. It’s pictures of bulges and assses and full of dick jokes. It isn’t a serious breakdown of the history and cultural significance of wrestling. There are a shit ton of other sites out there that can do that for you. It isn’t an in-depth look at wrestling maneuvers and what makes a great match. The truth is, I don’t watch enough wrestling to know.
This is a fun site for a niché market of wrestling fans. Fans who want a bit of fun, a bit of naughtiness and to have a look at WWE with a sly wink. So, I’m going to make a few promises.
This site will always be fun. To me, WWE isn’t just about the wrestling (which I know will annoy people). It’s about story. It’s the storylines that attracted me to it. So, from now on, all my recaps will focus on the story element of WWE rather than the wrestling.
Secondly, I’ll try to post more often. You deserve more than just recaps and galleries.
I’ll also try and stop having so much downtime.
So there, that’s my decree.
Welcome back,
