Pro Wrestling

Yesterday (June 19th, 2016) was a great day, it was Sunday (which is the day I usually grill, the weather was great, it was Father's Day, Game 7 of the NBA championship (Golden State Warriors vs Cleveland Cavaliers) and it was also WWE's Money in the Bank. The card was great and the main event was WWE champion Roman Reigns vs returning champion Seth Rollins.

We all know at this point wrestling is fake. Everything is all planned out from beginning to the end. There are some cases where the matches are "shoots", that is when something in the wrestling ring is improvised. But in wrestling that is rare and only happens for special cases.

In the world of professional wrestling every wrestler's dream is to go to the big leagues of WWE. But over the last few years that statement seemed false because one of the biggest icons (Sting) and at the time and even currently the most talented and very accomplished wrestler AJ Styles.

Today in the world of Professional Wrestling there are 3 things a wrestler must possess in order to be consider a great wrestler. The look, great mic skills and being very good in the ring.

Mexican veteran wrestler Hijo del Perro Aguayo passed away last night while having a tag team match against Rey Mysterio. I am shocked this doesn't happen more often but it is even more shocking to me because Perro was a 20 year veteran and he still ended up miscalculating a move that resulted in his death.

This has got to be the sickest move I have ever seen. I'm, sure it has to be very difficult to do just a regular moonsault but wait until you see this!

Hulk Hogan has been pretty much on top of the wrestling world since about 1983 when 'Hulkmania' started. Since then Hogan has had a series of ups and downs including reinventing has a bad guy and calling himself 'Hollywood Hogan' in 1996.

We all know wrestling is scripting or as people in the inner circle may say "Kayfabe". But every now and then they allow the curtains from the back to be unveiled and allow us to come in and see what is going on backstage.

If you are a wrestling fan then you know WWE has had every major talent except for one particular superstar. That superstar happens to be an icon of wrestling, a 6 time WCW champion and a 2 time NWA World Heavyweight Champion.

As wrestling fans we all know it is fake and that the outcomes are predetermined. But even in knowing this accidents or "Botches" are a common place in Sports Entertainment.

The last 6 months has been been crazy for wrestling fans. A lot of good things has happened for the company and wrestling in general, then things that have been totally unforeseen.

When it comes to wrestling WWE is considered the big leagues of wrestling. Literally every big name wrestler has eventually come through the WWE brand.
