The intensity of Professional Wrestling

There has been a reality show that has started and has shown how serious and intense professional wrestling is, and quite frankly it has been really good and interesting. The name of the show "Breaking Ground" has shown the Grits and grind s of how intense the training to do wrestling PERIOD is. The reason I say that is because I did high school and collegiate wrestling, and man it was really intense, but however I did lose a lot of weight, and gotten in great shape. It really shows how important conditioning and burning weight really is, because it really shows a lot of endurance.
The training takes focus and mentality, and even durability, which is really important, apparently the appearance shows how much in shape they are in. The bumps and the slams and even the high flying moves really takes leg strength and endurance, it connects with amateur wrestling, being in shape is really important in both fields of wrestling, because during the match where you suck wind and even have a hard time continuing to wrestle, and continuing the intense moving and take downs and agility that happens, that's why the practice, training and the workouts are so intense and serves the requirements that are aimed for. To get back to talking about the show "Breaking Ground", the show has great deep look on behind the scenes, where you can see, and observe the importance of training, and learning the technique, seeing an episode where they did warm ups, and even taking bumps (basically slamming their backs on the ring), and seeing them burned out. The wrestler that can handle the intensity, and seems so outstanding, Dana Brooke can be a very huge inspiration getting up early, working out rain or shine, and on top of that working out at the gym, making that as a big commitment, serves as not just an inspiration but motivation as well. Understanding and really seeing what it takes to make it where you want to get to, and simply just stopping at nothing basically to make a big accomplishment, The Other big thing about it is really being coached and willing to learn almost like being on a sports team, where except the mentality and coaching can be different not based on strategy but however, based on intensity and potential, and execution.

   

The tale of the 6-0s

There has been a lot of wins from teams of course and on top of that there has been underachieving, achieving and overachieving teams, And well there are 5 Undefeated teams so far, and It has been really incredible watching them really work hard to get where they are:

New England Patriots 6-0 : Tom Brady I feel has been really shining leading them in their undefeated accomplishment, and also Gronkowski as well getting the job done, the defense has been doing well but mostly has to be the offense getting the job done.

Green Bay Packers 6-0: The Packers have had such great production from their A+ Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but I feel where it came to play also is mostly their running back Eddie Lacy who gave a good bit of production. I also feel it is also the defense especially at crucial situations towards the end of the game so kudos to the defense that have been playing very impressive.

Cincinnati Bengals: 6-0: The Bengals had their bye and with their win against the BIlls and how they won it well it was a well earned bye, The Bengals continue to surprise fans and on top of that continue to keep fighting, just like their big comeback game against the Sea hawks,  I see them as a resilient team that just doesn't go down, and well when will their year come? Which is the big question.

Denver Broncos: 6-0: Peyton Manning hasn't had a good year but despite that, the defense has been able to help the team go 6-0, with the surprising support of the defense there are some good moments Peyton Manning and the offense has been able to have.

Carolina Panthers: 6-0: What can I say for the Panthers? The defense hasn't fail to impress especially when, Cam Newton has an off game but during his on games, Greg Olsen becomes a huge contributor on the receiving end alongside his other recievers this is quite an accomplishment.

The NBA Preview

Man the wait is almost over or maybe it actually is, well for me now I am prepared to make my NBA Preview or season predictions. And well the off season of course was filled with changes and transitions, and quite frankly it has been very interesting and strange at the same time, with so many different offseason moves involving signing free agents and trades and hiring coaches and change in the staff as well, and well here goes nothing.

The Atlants Hawks: Well with the roster they have and I have to say after the surprising departure well not too surprising at all departure from Demarre Carroll, now one thing you can expect is make sure Thabo doesn't get injured and they can have a good depth of the forward position in itself, however they got a good acquaintance in Tiago Splitter, so I feel their success could be different so as long as the coach does his part then they can be good and with al most the same starters they have they can have a good season. Record: 52-30

The Boston Celtics: The Celtics have had a lot of midseason and off season moves and apparently they have been successful after making the playoffs last year they look to repeat the same sort of success they had last year so with the acquaintance of David Lee and Amir Johnson, If they do any more moves or unless they do more transactions midway through the season, I see quite some success with them beginning to grow. Record: 48-34

The Brooklyn Nets: The Nets have lost their star Point Guard and looks like Joe Johnson and Brook Lopez will have to step up even with Donald Sloan being their new starting point guard, All I can say is that The Nets may experience missing the playoffs their first year as the Brooklyn Nets, I can't guarantee that will happen but it seems like it could happen. Record: 27-55.

The Charlotte Hornets: The Hornets had made quite a bit of offseason moves with the hopes of Jeremy Lin going back to his old ways of playing basketball but unfortunately he had some struggles, however with the gain of Spencer Hawes, a frontcourt and outside shooter and also Tyler Hansbrough, I feel they have quite some development there at the frontcourt backing up Al Jefferson, And with Nicolas Batum as another acquaintance. I feel they can have an ok season. Record: 42-40

 Chicago Bulls: Record: 58-24

Cleveland Cavilers Record: 65-17

Dallas Mavericks: Record: 55-27

Denver Nuggets: 26-56

Detroit Pistons: 48-34

The meaning of Revolution and Respect

There has been the divas revolution going on in  WWE, and Stephanie Mcmahon has introduced the divas revolution, however as the weeks went on, and to be diplomatic let's just say it hasn't met up to everyone's expectation even mine. And not to sound ungrateful but where it is positioned on a main show like Raw, is going to get lower expectations from fans and from critics (to say the least). Apparently the show NXT Takeover: Respect had such a successful main event, and believe it or not it was by 2 women. And the good thing about that is they did earned RESPECT, see what I did there.
So to start explaining the main event, it really stole the show and mostly for me my whole mind and emotion completely flipped after watching the main event and man it was very phenomenal, it was extremely inspiring to watch was both of them came out as winners, even though only one of them carried out the title. But both of them were rewarded with flowers (so that means they have something to put in their house for memories), and also were rewarded with a huge ovation from the crowd and not just from the crowd, but also the NXT roster and on top of that The WWE Executives Stephanie Mcmahon and Triple H, and man this was the best moment to be a fan and be rewarded with an excellent from 2 great wrestlers, and meaning female wrestlers, even with William Regal taking a huge leap with these 2 women by having them main event an iron man match that means something which means you're showing RESPECT of their talent. The match Between Sasha Banks vs Bayley was all about proving and showing why they deserved to be in the main event and on top of that putting on such an awesome match with taking risks and showing larger than life competitiveness, and action as well. And even though Sasha did display some disgusting and classless action in the match she still put on one heck of a fight. Both these wrestlers I did like, but now they have strongly grown on me and probably everyone else as well, And all I can say was this was a phenomenal match and the fact that they have earned everyone's respect, from this phenomenal match.

   

Paige Pipe bomb vs AJ Lee Pipebomb

It's been since 2 years since we had AJ Lee's pipe-bomb have happened and quite frankly it is still hard to embrace those harsh reality on Total Divas, and well apparently AJ Lee was not a fan of Total Divas, and blasted every cast member on the show, and ranted on their Hollywood lifestyle in the WWE, so I enjoyed it when I first saw it and hearing people talk about it, man it was really awesome, especially when she ranted on The Bella Twins, and Eva Marie, and how they were verbally teasing Natalya and the Funkadactyls. After the AJ, Big E, Dolph Ziggler triangle feud she entered into the Total Divas picture and then feuded with the group as AJ stood as the Anti-diva. To talk about another anti-diva Who pulled a similar promo except it was a rant on the entire divas division, let alone the entire divas roster.


AJ Lee's Pipebomb shell promo

AJ Lee nailed her promo on August 26, 2013, after a match between Natalya and Nikki Bella and well her promo blew up and got a phenomenal response, the purpose of her promo was to rant about The stars of Total Divas, being in WWE just for Hollywood attention, and to look flashy, instead of being in WWE to wrestle, which is what AJ Lee stated, she claimed she was in WWE to wrestle and worked her way to be a WWE Divas champion instead of being on a reality TV Show, and well apparently it did not sit well with her. The fact that AJ Lee made her appearance and plugged herself into the feud, was well put together, with the reason that she is not on Total Divas did give her purpose to rant on the show Total Divas, as she was able to back up what she said with her holding the Divas title, and claiming that she was here to work hard for what she has, while the stars on Total divas and all they want is being handed Hollywood attention, and claiming they're the star of the show.  AJ Lee's promo was good for what it was, and apparently they great feedback, and how the divas were reacting to what AJ said. So basically in a nutshell AJ stated that hey she is here to wrestle, as the cast of total divas is here to look flashy and wear fancy Hollywood dresses and become "Actresses".

Paige's (Pipebomb shell) Rampaige promo

Paige Nailed her promo during Charlotte's Celebration, the night after her match with Nikki Bella. Paige well after getting a thank you from Charlotte for being her friend and ally, and making her accomplishment possible after thanking her dad. How Paige started her promo well, she claimed she was the reason, her and her alone that Charlotte  is the diva's champion and then she talked down on her and her celebration claiming title reigns don't last and how Nikki will get the title back and how the divas division will be back to where it was. On top of that She stated how title reigns don't last long and it will come and go. And how the divas revolution will be meaningless, because  She talked about stuff going on in the ring and in the WWE Show instead of on a reality show. Especially where she ranted about all the divas including Natalya on her absence, Lana and Summer Rae on their love square involving Russev and Dolph Ziggler, and The Bella Twins' position in the divas division, and how she got in the position. And claiming how Alicia Fox is a third wheel to the Bellas', and including Charlotte being there because of her father. And how Becky Lynch is irrelevant compared to the rest of the divas. So basically she addresses the mess that is going on within the division and not outside that. So to some this up in a nutshell, Paige ranted on the issues in the divas division, and how frustrated she is about it, and basically it built up over the weeks and how now it showed.

The evolution of Tough Enough

Tough Enough has been a well known WWE reality show before Total Divas came into the scene. In 2011 Tough Enough I feel was one of the most successful shows in the season, because of Stone Cold and on top of that the contestants in the show seemed well determined. The Tough Enough contestants now it's hard to tell because the format of the show has changed, Even though there are some segments of the show that are still the same there are still some that have changed. The show Tough Enough for years have been a show to explain what and why the show has been called Tough Enough, and apparently this year seemed like an experiment, and quite frankly to me there have been ups and downs on it. So with BIll Demott being replaced by Billy Gunn, and then Trish Stratus being replaced by Lita, and Booker T still being there as one of the trainers.....sorry I meant to say coaches.
Well the judges are interesting being there but however I feel it would be irrelevant cause of the fan voting and on top of that the bottom 3 is good but it feels more like a popularity contest than an actual physical competition. The good thing is Josh Yeti did win tough enough and it was the best thing about it, one thing I hope for is he doesn't become a complete bust. Even Sara Lee hope she doesn't become a bust as well. So there has been changes and development in the show and well there is a chance next year to continue their improvement within the show.
