It's been a while since my last blog and a lot has occured in both Pro-Wrestling and in the MMA world...There are new World and WWE Champions crowned..In MMA, Brock Lesnar's new challenger (Carwin) has been trash talkin left and right in the attempts of generating heat and selling in his own right the upcoming PPV making him a worthy contender which in my opinion he is not unless he can of course do what appears to be impossible and actually defeat Lesnar...Frankly, if he can step up and give him a good fight I would be impressed but I don't see it happening...He talks a good talk though.....I'm really looking forward to this one because to quote former WCW Champion Bill Goldberg......YOUR NEXT.....With that said and in mentioning Goldberg, He reportedly rejected an invitation to tour Australia with the Hulkamania tour due to him believing that Hogan wants to keep all the money...His words not mine...Shamefull due to the fact that Pro-Wrestling is why he is even known at all...So much for giving back to the fans or the sport...Now, lets talk about: here comes the money(Shane McMAHON)...To the sudden surprise of all WWE fans and staff apparently...He has handed in a written resignation effective 1/1/2010 with the element of other business ventures being the reason as to why he resigned...Speculation has 2 scenarios as to why this is....1. He will be helping his Mom to get into the Senate with her campaign.....2. He will be buying or starting an MMA affeliation in which he will actually be able to compete with the now dominating UFC in PPV buyrates....Something that I am very sure is bothersome to Vince McMahon sr. as to why they can not compete with the ever growing popular MMA world....Shane has been seen at many MMA events and he apparently is a huge fan, that's not surprising, it is the evolution of Pro-Wrestling especially since the suites and the decision makers have watered down the business as much as they have and since they have made certain things behind the scenes so apparent that it leaves absolutely very little to the imagination, I wish kayfabe wasn't dead so to speak...Personnally I believe that taking all that into affect is what really hurt their overall PPV buyrates as compared to UFC PPV buyrates...They still dominate the TV ratings but in PPV buyrates the competition is destroying them....So the only way to compete with that is to get in the game and I hope that Shano Mac will rise to the occassion as far as that is concerned...We can only wait and see because nothing is for certain at this point....Personnally I feel that WWE made a huge mistake by going to a PG rating, this a Pro-Wrestling that was at it's best during the Austin/Rock era....Go back to what works after Linda is or is not elected to the senate to make Pro-Wrestling the incredible event that it use to be....And another thing...How can you get huge PPV buyrates when week after week you see all the participants especially the top Champs on TV for free technically Wrestling their opposition in some form or another...Vince, have you forgotten the basic fundamentals of being able to generate interest and draw capability?...Look back in time...I'm sure you'll figure it out....When a Summerslam can not generate at least half a million buys...YOU ARE DEFINITELY DOING SOMETHING WRONG...PERIOD....Best of luck to Shane...I hope this McMahon will have the grapefruits that Vince use to have to actually give UFC the competative counter that the WWF use to have......Tommorrow night TNA Wrestling presents Against All Odds on PPV with AJ Styles defending the TNA World Championship...This guy can really Wrestle(as in Sport) hope nothing gets in the way of that....Congrats to AJ for finally getting the top belt in the fed...He has earned the right to it because he backs it up in the ring literally every time.....A true Physically gifted Champion......Until next Blog....When, I am not sure.........
