ESPN.com presents: WWE Power Rankings: Triple H stands tall

Triple HCourtesy of ESPN.com:

It was a terrible episode of “Raw” last night, with only the six-man elimination match between Team Hell No and John Cena versus The Shield and the closing segment featuring Triple H and Brock Lesnar worth praising.

Everything just seemed off about the show, from the camera work to the announcers to the stumbling promos, and it seemed like the crowd was completely dead until Daniel Bryan and The Shield picked up the pace in the elimination match and brought it to its feet.

Jim Ross discusses UFC, John Cena, and Lou Thesz in his most recent blog

JR

JR’s Sunday Blog, UFC159, Bones, John Cena injury, Sonnen to WWE?, Lou Thesz, Stock Up on JR’s for Grilling Season!

After storms destroyed our home’s roof, guttering, etc a few days a go, we are now bracing for a sunny, 80 degree day or two here in the bipolar weather center of the universe, Norman, Oklahoma.  Let’s grill….

Enjoyed UFC 159 last night on PPV from Newark headlined by the incomparable @jonnybones aka Jon Jones first round defeat of Chael Sonnen.  Jones has upped his game and his long, athletic frame is problematic for any one who can’t match up with Bones physically. The former amateur wrestling star prospect, at least for the present time, is his own worst opponent as I don’t see any one on the current UFC map that can handle him including the legendary Anderson Silva.

Hitting the Ropes: Rock Solid or Rock Bottom?

HTR_3

I shake my head every time I read that someone inside the WWE locker room isn’t thrilled with the Rock headlining another Wrestlemania.  I guess it’s possible that these are false rumors, that everybody is excited about the upcoming show in New York City.  But as the old saying goes, “where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”  Even going back to Miami last year there have been rumblings that Dwayne Johnson’s comeback has been met with resistance.

Courtesy of LordsofPain.net:

Previewing his upcoming match with John Cena at WrestleMania 29 to IGN.com, WWE Champion Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson explained why he wanted to face the Cenation leader again after defeating him at last year’s show.

“You have to understand that my return back into the WWE was years in the making. And since I’ve been back, it’s been a three year-long journey that started at WrestleMania 27 in Atlanta. So John has always been my first choice,” Johnson told Matt Fowler.
