Countdown to Wrestlemania XXX: Match previews pt. 6

The day is drawing near. Wrestlemania XXX is three days away. Today is our last match preview.  Before we get into it, we have some fun announcements.  We will have our first podcast release later on today with our audio preview and predictions for Wrestlemania XXX.  We also have launched our twitter account @IOWrestling.  If that's not enough, we have also launched a Facebook fan page!

Now that our plugs are out of the way, we will be covering two matches today, as they go hand in hand with each other and seem like the main matches on the show. Let's get do this!


Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H

This match has been building since Summerslam, when Triple H cost Daniel Bryan the WWE Championship.  Bryan finally gets his chance at revenge this Sunday.  This match didn't just happen either, they had to get to this match in a very different way.

Triple H explained to the fans that he screwed Daniel Bryan because it was "best for business" and that Daniel Bryan was not an "A+ player".  Triple H stated that he liked Daniel as a "little" talented wrestler who was really a "B+ Player." Daniel Bryan fought with the Authority for months and tried to beat Randy Orton for the WWE Championship.  Thanks to the Authority, he wasn't successful.  Bryan was not entered in the Royal Rumble match and he blamed Triple H for holding him back because he wasn't an "A+ Player." Triple H denied these allegations and informed Daniel that he would have one last shot at Wrestlemania glory by entering him in the Elimination Chamber.  That night the Director of Operations, Kane, cost Daniel Bryan the match and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Bryan came up to Triple H the next night and informed him that if he couldn't be in the title match, he wanted to face the Game.  Hunter laughed at Bryan and said it wouldn't happen.  Triple H denied Bryan for weeks... until Occupy Raw.  Daniel Bryan brought 30 to 40 WWE fans into the ring and hijacked the show.  He demanded Triple H give the people what they wanted.  Triple H eventually accepted the match... but that wasn't enough.  Daniel stated that they would leave if the stipulation was added that Daniel Bryan would be in the main event of Wrestlemania if he beat Triple H.  Then it happened... Wrestlemania was saved.

Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H represents a movement and it signifies a change.  Daniel Bryan could be THE man at the end of this program.  His match with Triple H could be a classic, and that might not be it. He might have one more obstacle....


Triple Threat for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Randy Orton vs. Batista vs. Winner of Bryan/HHH

If Daniel Bryan does beat HHH, then he goes on to the Triple Threat main event for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. If Daniel Bryan loses though, Triple H will be in the match instead. Either way, this match is better off. This match was originally slated to be Orton vs. Batista, but fan backlash seemed to change direction. Now there is a buzz about this match thanks to Daniel Bryan.

Batista came back at the Royal Rumble and did not receive the ovation that WWE expected.  What he got was the opposite of a hero's welcome. The fans said no.  After the Royal Rumble, it was obvious that fans refused to accept Batista as the conquering hero.  They also had no interest in seeing him face Orton for the Championship.

Randy Orton has also had a strange 2014.  To some, he feels like he is on the back burner, even though he is champion.  He has always felt like second place to the Daniel Bryan-Triple H story.  What is hard about this is the fact that Orton has been working very hard and deserves credit for upping his game.  Unfortunately that doesn't seem like a possibility at the moment.

What the fans want is to see Daniel Bryan leading 70,000 people screaming YES! while he hoists up his Championship titles.  I hope this is the image that ends the program.  I know I'm not alone.

Looking back on 2017- The Impressions on Wrestling Awards!!!!

2017... a crazy year. Not my favorite year in terms of world happenings, but a hell of a year for wrestling. There was an obscene amount of great matches last year. We also had some juicy news stories. I have decided to do a mini awards celebration for this incredible year. Please note that I do miss a lot of wrestling every year due to the sheer amount of content. These awards are voted on by one person, who happens to be me.  So this is a very biased list based on my opinions. There will be a mix of positive and negative awards, which will hopefully keep it fresh. Alright... all of the introductions are out of the way. Let's get to it!!! First up... Best Promotion New Japan Pro Wresting This is an easy pick for me to make. The in-ring quality of NJPW was off the charts in 2017. It started off with an amazing show in Wrestle Kingdom 11 and had some amazing shows along the way, like the G1 and Dominion. We had two amazing trilogies with Okada/Omega and Naito/Ta...

The Passion still burns.

It has been a long time, my friends. I have returned. My love of Professional Wrestling never died, but my passion to write about it did wane. I felt like I was forced into bubbles and what I could talk about. Truthfully, that was all in my head. This blog is ultimately just a passion project, and not an attention seeking blog. What does that mean? I should be able to cover whatever it is that is providing fuel to my passion of the sport. My passion is still burning pretty strong, just not in the ways that it used to. How does that affect this site? Well the blog portion is most certainly returning, and I am looking at options at returning to podcasting. I am even looking at opportunities to record videos and post them on YouTube. But I won't necessarily have a structured time for things. I have a weird work schedule and it does affect my ability to run a site. That is why this will be a personal blog if you will, and I have no aspirations for it to be a business. There ...
