Miss Ayn: Annie’s View
WrestleMania Views!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OR BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hello Viewers,
Well, both the Hall of Fame and Wrestlemania have once again, come and gone for another year. What a ride this was.
First let’s talk about the Hall of Fame.
Boo to Vince for only showing an hour. I would have liked to have seen the entire thing. Did he put the first two hours on his website like the last time? Probably.
They showed a quick close up of Jerry Lawler and he looked so handsome. But then again, I think he always does.
Rock looked good didn’t he? And he was funny. Especially when he said that Hunter was so excited that somehow Stephanie was pregnant. Well, something better than that but it was hilarious.
Only Mic would actually put a tux on a sock. Then again, only Mic carries one in his pocket ![]()
Mae looked awesome. She really seemed so happy. I know she’s been morning her dear friend, Moolah but last evening she seemed to beam. Good for her. It was her day.
The Brisco’s looked great and this was well deserved.
Of course, Rock’s Dad looked pretty good I thought. And his Mom. Wow. The things she said about her Dad made me miss mine even more.
Rock looked really proud to be the one to actually induct his family and the tears well they left me weak at the knees.
His jokes were hilarious. I loved when he made fun of the Marine and then said to Cena, ‘hey, I made doom.’ HAHA
Hunter was funny and right on when he said what he did about Ric Flair.
When Flair started crying that’s when you knew it was the beginning of the end. Of the night, of his career. It was just touching. Too bad the show ran over and Flair’s speech was cut off. GRRRRR
Congratulations to all that were inducted in.
Now onto WRESTLEMANIA….
First off a Jeer. Why was the lumberjack match with 24 superstars a dark match? I would have loved to have seen that and considering we paid what he did for this PPV, we should have been able to SEE it. Plus the extra ten bucks to see it in HD. GRRRR VINCE, GRRRR
John Legend singing America The Beautiful was really awesome just after the jets flew over the stadium.
I thought his name was Finley and he loved to fight? So why didn’t he fight dirty and beat the pants off of JBL? I wanted him to win so badly. The match was not a bad match actually. And hey, this show actually had wrestling….Who Knew???
THE LADDER MATCH.
While I was rooting for CM Punk to win (yay) this was before Jericho came out. So, as a true jericoholic I changed my mind and rooted for the cute Canadian. (I should have stuck with my gut feeling) Because as you all know CM Punk won. But what a match.
Matt Hardy was the big surprise of the night knocking MVP out off of the ladder. But I think the coolest move was done by Morrison who, actually moonsaulted with a ladder taking every single guy IN the ring, out.
Truly, A great match. Lots of wrestling, high flying and just plain craziness that really made this a good match.
Alright, I could have lived without Snoop Dog but Mic Foley and Mr. Socko well, it wouldn’t be wrestlemania without either one would it? However, when Dogg rang the bell and Festus went nuts, THAT was funny.
BATISTA wins. Okay, you knew that this was going to happen right? Umaga is big and all but hey, it’s wrestlemania and here, The BIG guys lose (I’m still crying Big Show)
Now I know what your thinking. Your thinking’ Annie Batista isn’t small and you’d be right. But C’mon, Batista is huge however, all that weight that Umaga has on him you’d think that would be enough. But Nope. You know the old saying, the bigger they are the harder they fall…..
BIG SHOW!!!!! Can you see the pain on his face still? I can. Losing to that guy. Sorry, he’s NOT the greatest as that would be Ali. But I digress.
MayWeather jumped on Show and did a real naked choke which, just sounds icky and it brings Show down.
Of course his ‘crew’ try to help because hey, it is wrestling and they think boxing is so much better (it’s not but hey) and of course Show kicks their butts.
Big Show actually steps on Mayweather and his crew scream you can’t step on him (watch him moron) I loved this entire part. It was my favorite of this match. Then again, I hate boxing because I think IT’S rigged so there.
They try taking ‘cough’ the boxer ‘cough’ away but you knew Show wouldn’t let that happen. The chair shots to Big Show and cheating from Mayflower and it’s 1 2 3 and he wins it instead of the Big Show. Again I say GRRRRR.
Kane wins. That’s it. He came he win they left the ring. Seriously. The fastest match I have ever seen in wrestling since The Ultimate Warrior took out HHH before he was HHH in eight seconds. Why, your reading my View of this match and the View is longer than the match.
BoooooooWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wow. Awesome. Great match and I HATE HBK. Then again, I can spin it this way, ONLY HBK would be the one to screw someone over. Awww But did you see the love on his face. And did you read his lips. Sorry, I love you and then the sweet chin music. Down went Flair and so did HBK kissing him on the forehead.
This match was really bittersweet for me. Not a real big Flair fan and I can’t stand HBK but I wanted Flair to go out a winner. I wanted Flair to leave with a smile. Okay, I wanted HBK knocked on his little white butt. I have to tell you this match was fabulous. Simply fabulous. Both men were spectacular in the ring. It was tough watching Flair though as he lost. He stood up crying and his children were at ringside crying as well. The fans were screaming, eyes wet from the tears, Whooo signs everywhere, it was something to see I can tell you that.
Flair walked to his kids who were at ringside and kissed each one of them, walked back down the ramp, turned, gave a final wave and there he went. Flair had an amazing career and life so far, I truly hope it continues for him.
Bittersweet I tell you.
The Women’s match.
The best thing about this match was when that dumb Italian guy interfered and Jerry Lawler stepped in and then punched him. Afterwards when Maria loses to the blonde girl with the wonder woman headpiece Snoop dogg gets a piece of the Italian as well. Lawler needs to wrestle more often and really kick this guy in the butt.
I LOVE LAWLER. Now to me HE’s the KING OF THE RING.
And this match. Oh My Gosh!!!! Orton/Cena/Hunter and who wins? EEEEWWWWW Orton. Why? What for? I love John Cena and Hunter and wasn’t sure who I could really root for. I mean, I met Cena but have loved Hunter for such a long time. So I had decided that whomever won this match as long as it was one of them I’d be fine.
I’M NOT FINE. I can’t believe Orton won it. I mean seriously, Triple H pedigrees Cena and you think it’s over because the ref’s at the two count but here comes Orton kicking Hunter in the face and then, Orton falls on Cena and the ref does the count and I can still hear the bell!!! Oh wait, that’s the replay in the background. Still, it sucked. 2/3’s of the wrestlers IN this match I wanted to win and do they? Nope.
See, this is why I don’t go to the track and bet.
But I have got to tell you this match was awesome. It was pretty long, the wrestling was EXCELLENT and a good job was done by all. But why did Orton have to win?
Undertaker’s record is not only safe but he now has the belt.
I can’t say enough about this match. It was worth every single dime of the PPV itself. Just a great match. Just when you thought Edge was going to win (and believe me with the record loss I was suffering tonight I thought Edge might win) UT kicks out. Then UT had Edge pinned and Edge kicked out. It was awesome. From start to finish. You really weren’t sure who was going to win you really weren’t.
All in all wrestlemania was pretty good. I’ll give it an 8 because some people I thought should have won didn’t but otherwise it was excellent. And considering wrestling has been lackluster to say the LEAST as of late, believe me that’s a great reView.
Question of the Week : Were you happy with this PPV?
There you go. A View, a ? what more can a Viewer ask for? Please email your comments to MissAyn@aol.com
Until next time be good or be like me, really good doing it.
Okay So I’m already back. Welcome back er I should say Yep, believe it or not your STILL reading a View. I guess this is somewhat long but I won’t keep you much longer.
RAW
Holy Cow!!! What a night. Of course the best part of the evening was when Flair gave his speech and Hunter came out and introduced everyone they could manage to get to come to say goodbye to Ric Flair.
It really was incredible the way everyone seemed to come out for this man. But then again, 36 years is a long time to be in this business.
Most men retire earlier due to some type of injury or worse, they die at such a young age so this was a rarity to see at least in this business.
As I watched all of the wrestlers come out one by one my thoughts turned to Chris Benoit and I thought how stupid he was because of all the men that Flair worked with, Benoit was probably one of the best. Sigh…
It was truly awesome how much one man could touch so many lives.
Shawn really looked as if he felt bad for doing what he’d done. For retiring Flair. Good. It’s nice to know.
Flair was one of a kind. They act like he won’t be back but I’m hoping we’ll see him from time to time as we do the Rock, Foley, and Austin.
All in all I have to say that this was probably one of the best ways a wrestler could leave. With style, grace and (pardon the pun) Flare.
Have a great life Ric. Enjoy those kids and that wife.
Now I think I’m actually done but who knows.
Happy April Fool’s
Annie
