Mojo Rawley I Had High Hopes

Mojo Rawley Provides Update On His Wrestling Future

I actually watched a lot of Mojo Rawley’s matches on Main Event and thought he was soon going to have a main roster opportunity again. I would’ve paired Rawley with Constable Corbin and they would be the muscle for then general manager Stephanie McMahan. I always imaged they would have the combo of Rawley’s corner elbow and tossing the opponent into the End of Days.

I never understood why the WWE forgot about Rawley. Even going as far to have him bring that up the Shane mentioning that he was forgotten, a segment that led to nothing. Even though I never really saw Rawley as a face of the company type, I still saw him as someone who can round out a stable or be a nice addition to Money in the bank matches and Royal Rumbles.

What do you think of Mojo Rawley and what went wrong in his WWE career?

Slapjack It Worked

Who is Slapjack? WWE's RETRIBUTION star Shane Thorne at Hell In A Cell | Metro News

When Shane Torne became Slapjack, it was probably the best thing that could’ve happened to him. The whole team Retribution was a failed experiment from the start, but Thorne becoming Slapjack took him to the next level.  I thought Torne was “ok” on NXT. When he teamed with Nick Miller, it wasn’t box office. It was good wrestling, but it wasn’t anything to stay up late for. But Thorne was the bright spot on that team.

Becoming Slapjack made him more brutal. He became this unleashed animal that actually showed signs of a main roster mid card run. He spent the majority of these impressive moments on Main Event, which even though a lot of people don’t watch, I still do. And for the first time I enjoyed watching Slapjack. With Retribution now broken up and after his release, I think he should keep the Slapjack persona wherever he goes. Id like to see him on Impact Wrestling, but what do you guys think of Slapjack and who would you want him to fight?

WWE 2K22

Surprising WWE 2K22 Release Date Announced Plus New Info

I’m hearing bad rumors about the new WWE 2K22. Since the failure of 2K20 and Battlegrounds, the decision has been made to reinvent the wheel and model their game after No Mercy which was released in 2000 for the N64.

Sports games are some of the easiest games to shoot out. Fans are just paying for an updated roster, new moves, and graphics. We aren’t asking the gaming companies to do anything too drastic. I know I can’t speak for all wrestling game fans, but I don’t need much to make me happy. The best addition to the games is the community creations. 

AEW Video Game To Be Better Than WWE 2K Series?

The WWE should embrace AEW as a marketable tool. I still play 2K19 all the time, my created wrestler slots are completely filled with AEW, Impact and NJPW wrestlers from the community creations. The WWE should make it even easier to bring wrestlers from other promotions into this game. Give us all their moves, give us the ability make their gear, give us a ton of slots to build a massive roster. How is this bad for the WWE? Honestly, if their game is better than AEW’s and has the ability to bring in all their wrestlers, then why wouldn’t fans buy this game over theirs?

The WWE’s problem since AEW’s creation has been competition, but making your enemy an asset without having to lose anything is a win.

What do you think?

I’m Ready To Get Hurt Again

Leave a comment

I think the WWE is doing everything right with Goldberg vs Bobby Lashley. The setup is tremendous. Making it a non-title match is a smart idea because Goldberg as champion now wouldn’t make sense. The Extreme Rules match will add a lot of creativity to it and take the pressure off the aging Goldberg. The Hurt Business and Goldberg’s son can interfere without a DQ. And I already figured out the perfect ending.

  • A pair of tables is set up outside the ring
  • Cedric Alexander gets tossed from the ring into the tables outside
  • Shelton Benjamin springboards into a Goldberg Spear
  • Goldberg taunts
  • Lashley grabs him from behind and administers the Hurt Lock
  • Goldberg’s son low blows Lashley
  • Goldberg hits the spear and pins Lashley with the Jackhammer for the win

Not a bad ending to the feud. Goldberg isn’t the same as he was in WCW or his short first time in the WWE. An Extreme Rules match like this can give Goldberg more to do with weapons and Lashley and the rest of the Hurt Business can take more of the hits.

Will it be a good match? We’ll know in a few weeks. Let me know what you guys think of the match ending and what’s next for these 2 wrestlers.
