Countdown to Wrestlemania XXX: Match Previews pt. 4

By Andrew Snyder
We have gotten off the highway on the road to Wrestlemania and we are pulling into New Orleans this Sunday. Last night we had the go-home edition of Monday Night Raw. While the show was not the best, it ended well and I am still looking forward to Wrestlemania. I will say the WWE Network has a lot to do with that, but that's another discussion for later this week. Let's get on with our match preview!


Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar
The Streak vs. The Beast

Here is a match that I am looking forward to, but I feel disappointed in my lack of excitement. This should feel like one of the biggest matches on the show, and it feels like it's in fourth place on my match listing, in regards to my excitement anyways. That being said, I have faith that these guys will put on a hell of a show. Undertaker is the man, and Brock is truly a freak of nature.

Undertaker's Streak of 21-0 at Wrestlemania is truly something special. The "Streak" will never happen again, and that's amazing.  There is something special about the Undertaker and his legacy that he has been leaving year in and year out.  I hope that the streak is never broken and Taker gets to go out as an immortal figure in Wrestlemania lore.

The man challenging the streak is Brock Lesnar; Former WWE and UFC Heavyweight Champion.  He is truly a special athlete and has left a very different legacy.  Brock is a smash-mouth, brutal, aggressive beast who is a favorite of some of the adult audience members.  We could argue all day about whether Brock's value to WWE was tarnished when he lost to HHH, but it ultimately doesn't matter. Brock is doing what the company needs him to do, and that's be a badass special attraction.

Ultimately, this match is one of three matches that I think could steal the show.  These two could end up having a fun brawl that fans will remember for years to come.

That's it for the preview, check in tomorrow at 10:00 AM (EST) for our preview on Bray Wyatt vs. John Cena.  So long!

WWE Cruiserweight Classic: Thoughts and Hopes for the tournament

By Andrew Snyder
Wednesday night kicked off the opening of the 32 man tournament known as the Cruiserweight Classic. This is an extremely significant venture for the WWE and the WWE Network.  Growing up a wrestling fan, I didn't think I would see something like this happen in a major North American promotion, and certainly not the WWE.  The fact that most of the talent lineup are not under a WWE contract makes it even more fascinating. What also makes this tournament fascinating is the presentation.  This show is being treated like a sporting event with serious discussion on weight cutting, fighting styles and the representations of their countries.  They even did a Bracketology special.  This is a complete departure from the WWE presentation style.  This isn't sports entertainment, this is professional wrestling, and they are pushing that fact.  Mauro Ranallo and Daniel Bryan bring a feel of legitimacy and excitement to their announcing that this show feels even ...

ROH and NJPW present: War of the Worlds- Review

By Andrew Snyder
Wow! What a show!  This was one of my most anticipated shows this year, and boy, did it deliver!  The big matches delivered and so did everyone on the undercard.  Seriously, wow. The show took place in a sold out Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC.  I will say this, the worst part of the show was the crowd towards the end of the show.  For the last two matches, they just cheered at select spots instead of truly getting it going.  Weird. Anways, let's break this mother down! Opening Segment-  They opened the show with Bullet Club cutting a promo. Karl Anderson introduced the IWGP Champion, AJ Styles. Styles said that there were no followers in Bullet Club, they all lead.  This brought out Kazuchika Okada, the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion, who got in Bullet Club's face since they screwed him at Wrestling Dontaku 2014. Styles stated that he was busy with Elgin tonight, which then brought out Michael Elgin.  Elgin stated that he thought he'd b...

Countdown to Wrestlemania XXX; Match Previews pt. 2

By Andrew Snyder
Tomorrow we start Wrestlemania Week with the go-home edition of Monday Night RAW.  I look forward to getting that final bit of hype before the show of shows. Today we will be talking about one match... The Shield vs. Kane & The New Age Outlaws I will admit that I was slightly disappointed that this was going to be the match for the Shield.  The good news is that they are still together and they have been getting to show a new side of themselves now that they are the "good guys."  They are also getting to work with legends from the Attitude Era.  Unfortunately, Kane is "Corporate" and not the Big Red Machine we know and love. This match should be fun, but I can't help but wish that the Shield got a bigger spotlight. The Shield have changed the landscape of WWE's product from day one when they interfered in the main event of Survivor Series 2012.  It's crazy to think of the quality they have produced since that evening.  Their feud wit...
