So The Wrestlemania weekend has come and gone (I’ll be home watching the Post-Wrestlemania Raw tonight). Wrestlemania was incredible. To see the event of all events here in my hometown was definitely one for the bucket list. We saw potentially what is the end of an era with the Undertaker’s streak coming to an end, the little guy ended Mania as the champion, and Hulk Hogan’s slip-up calling the “Superdome” the “Silverdome” . The HHH – Daniel Bryan match was great as was the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Watching Cesaro deadlift Big Show gave me a whole new respect for the Real Americans. WE THE PEOPLE!! The Powerbomb-RKO thru a table that they gave Daniel Bryan had the feeling of an ECW match. Can;t say I was really disappointed with anything from last night.
On Saturday, I went out to Wrestlecon and got to meet several legends of the Wrestling business including RVD, Virgil, Sunny, Colt Cabana, and Hurricane Helms to name few. I saw Mickie James jam out for the crowd, even though country music isn’t my forte, she did a great job and she was beautiful as ever.
I came back home and watched the Hall of Fame ceremony where Jake the Smake, Scott Hall, Lita, Mr, T, Paul Bearer, Jake the Snake, Carlos Colon, and Paul Bearer were inducted. To wrap that up quickly, DDP’s introduction speech and Jake the Snake’s speeches stole the entire show in my opinion. Jake the Snake spoke from the heart and, hot to mark out, but I actually teared up during Jake’s speech. Congrats to all those folks on their induction and everything they did in their careers to leave their mark on the Wrestling world.
I woke up Wrestlemania Sunday and went back out there with Cheese and we met Kevin Nash, Mickie James and a few other stars. We stopped for luck at Ugly Dog then headed to Champions Square where we met up with the res tot the NOW show cast and saw the energy of Wrestlmania. Incredible weekend. Thanks to everyone who enjoyed it with me. It’s one of those weekends that I’ll remember and tell stories of so long as I live.
