Music Mayhem Monday... You think you know me

Image
      It's your boy, James From Boston with another installment of the theme songs we wished were played whenever we enter a room... Music Mayhem Monday!     I don't read the dirt sheets all that much.  Mostly because they are wrong more than they are right.  I also like to be surprised when someone comes back to wrestle.     It was last years Royal Rumble.  On the big screen, in my living room I am fully invested in the match.  The usual suspects are entered and Lesnar is running ramshot through them.  It's actually one of the very lowkey and to be honest, boring Rumble matches.  I hold out hope though because I know the WWE likes to swerve the fans and have someone either debuting or returning to the ring.     AJ Styles debut was shocking and awesome.  Triple H returning from quad surgery.  Mysterio coming back to the WWE.  They are surprises every time you tune into the Royal Rumble.     Then the music hits.  Now don't get me wrong, I love Edge.  I have a thing for C

         Chapter 1: Ivelisse, Puertorican Sensation     If you've ever seen La Sicaria Ivelisse wrestle recently you can see that  fiery  attitude and spirit translate into her work. Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico back in '87 she's been wrestling since the age of 14. Do the math, yes she a veteran. ​ The promotion she debuted with in Puerto Rico is World Wrestling Council. After doing what she could there and in the IWA (International Wrestling Association) she came to the mainland United States and hit the Chicago indie scene training with Steve Bozniak. This would lead to the start of her WWE stint.  In 2011 Ivelisse was announced as part of the fifth season of Tough Enough. However after an injury she was eliminated. All hope was not lost though as she was signed to a deal with FCW (Florida Championship Wrestling) under the name Sofia Cortez and to many just familiarizing themselves with Ivelisse she was a blonde back then  After rebranding FCW into what is now known as NXT

30 Years of F’N Jericho

Jericho's 2,725th career match will happen this week on AEW Dynamite, celebrating his 30-year anniversary in the pro wrestling business. I remember seeing him for the first time in WCW, and to be honest, I didn’t think much of him at the time. Out came this young good looking kid; The Lion Heart, Chris Jericho. I can’t even tell you if he won that first match or not because he didn’t stand out much yet. But that soon changed; Chris Jericho turned heel, and he soon became one of my favourite wrestlers. You could tell he was great in the ring, but what really stood out was his unique way of connecting with the fans. They jeered him, while laughing at his antics. I wanted him to win every match he was in because he was so damn entertaining! He soon took over the cruiserweight division until he had outgrown it. He had even positioned himself to face Goldberg, which Goldberg nixed. It wasn’t long before Jericho had out grown WCW as well. His contract was over and he soon signed with WWE

Sarah's F’N Yays and Nays

Image
    ​ Welcome everyone to a new segment. I will be coming by every week to express 2 positives (yays) and 2 negatives (nays) of each show for the week. ​ A little background about myself since this is my first article. My name is Sarah and I've been a wresting fan since I was 7-8 years old. I'm 37 now and am more passionate about this business than ever before. Want to learn more just ask!   ~~Smackdown 9/25: F'N Yay #1 the triple threat to start the show. Showcasing Sami with an unlikely win and reason to gloat was great and worth a Yay. The 1 st  Nay goes to Riddle and Corbin match. Feels like it came out of nowhere tonight. Also having Corbin win with no payoff or fight at Clash of Champions made this match seem lost. The 2 nd  Yay was Jey and Roman segment. We have seen the last few weeks Jey be all goofy and fun loving while Roman gave icy stares. As fans we've waited for heel Roman and with that spear we finally got it. The last nay is the fact that in 2 hours we

Turnbuckle Thursday: Wrestlemania Three, A Macho Man and A Dragon

  One could say that I was first suspected to professional wrestling from my friend Jimmy Dormandy. He loves wrestling and he also had a satellite dish. He had a copy of the original Wrestlemania and kept telling me about the Hulkster and his amazing ability to win no matter what the situation was. I saw what he saw when I watched Hulk Hogan and Mr. T take on Piper. Ultimately though I wondered one thing. In this world of professional wrestling... did they ever actually wrestle? Sure, Hulk has to pose but was that all there was to WWF and their champion? Did anyone on the roster even know how to do a simple move? Was the most devastating move in wrestling the slower than molasses Hogan leg drop? I went to Jimmy’s house one night and he bought Wrestlemania 3. Again, Hulk was the main event, this time against the biggest dude I have ever seen, Andre The Giant. Was this going to be the match that made me finally fall in love with this male equivalent of a soap opera? Rough answer was no.
