Wrestlemania XXX predictions and fallout



We are almost there! Wrestlemania is shaping up to possibly be the biggest and possibly greatest of all time.
At this time of year, every year, I look forward to the show of shows and get as excited as a kid at Christmas time. Sometimes, it can feel like wasted happiness once that last match has finished and it's all done with. "That's it. Good bye. I'll be back for your money next year!" Kinda like Christmas some years.

But THIS year! This year is going to be big and as important a night as WCW's fold to the WWE. I feel like WWE has the potential to pull off something that will change it forever.
The matches on paper look great and every one has the ability to change the pace, direction and future of the Superstars involved if not the whole WWE. 

Will it all be as big as I hope? We have to wait and see but let's have a look as to why I think this Sunday could be so important.

Wrestlemania week and #SexyBoyNo1 is HERE!


We are on the road to Wrestlemania and I'm like a kid a Christmas! Tonight is the final RAW before the show of shows and the IWC is alive and loud.
With all the posts, podcasts, banter and excitement that is running wild on Twitter, Tumblr and Youtube this week is already panning out great for wrestling fans from all around the world.

Today also marks the start of the #SexyBoyNo1 journey. I am on a mission to get Shawn Michaels' WWE entrance theme into the charts, if not Number 1 for Wrestlemania Sunday.
So far the first day has gone great! Wrestling fans on Twitter have been spreading the word and buying the track to help achieve the boyhood dream.

You can download the track from these links iTunesAmazon or any other purchasable mp3 service. The official charts company recognizes 99% of downloads for the chart. Official chart FAQ

Wrestling fans young and senior, new and old, casual and hardcore can come together and do something positive in celebrating one of the all time greats Shawn Michaels for Wrestlemanias 30. Not only could we all make history for WWE and sports entertainment but we can get them seen, heard and noticed by non fans everywhere.

From the time this is posted we will have just under six days to make the sales count!

Thanks for reading and hope you join us on the #SexyBoyNo1 campaign.

Fast Three Count with Steve "@TopRopeElbow" Dawson

Long time real life friend and IWC gent @TopRopeElbow sent this Fast Three Count.


Jerry Lawler

During the early 90's I hated The King. He was just an old guy pretending to be a member of royalty by giving himself a fake King moniker, what a bell end!...On second thoughts...There's nothing wrong with that is there?
During the Attitude Era I loved him! He liked violence, I liked violence. He loved boobs, I loved boobs (still do! Tits are horrible and sound sharp, boobs are beautiful!). He enjoyed company of young girls, so did I!

But then came the day when I realised he was the Fonz of the WWE and it all went cack. Respect to his career and the legendary feuds  he was the forefront of but it's time to be a special guest now Jerry mate.


Elimination Chamber

Makes Hell In A Cell look like a Polly Pocket and is easily my most played match type of any wrestling it has featured on.
Maybe had one to many appearances too early in its life but and lost a bit of its allure and mystique.
I think HBK wearing the dodgiest unfinished tights and little girl bob haircut lifting the World Heavyweight Championship will be a wrestling memory that will stay with me until I forget how to put my socks on.



Mean Street Posse

Easily one of my guiltiest of guilty pleasures in wrestling! I was never sure if these guys were kayfabe or real, but I did know I didn't care. I just dug these guys.
As odd as it was cool reggae entrance music, cashmere sweater vests and believeable gimmick. How could you not get into these preppy and spoiled bastards! 

Also if they were around today I would bet left eyebrow that Jack Swagger would be in this dapper crew!


Give Steve a shout, he's a gent comedian who will talk wrestling until the internet switches off.



Fast Three Count with Miss Paige Martin

Thanks to Miss Paige for the #FastThreeCount.


Emma

With the potential to be a major player...ress? in the game, I hope to see her in something than a dance off or a copy and paste comedy couple.
With an influx of lady stars at the ready to make their way to the main roster and the success of Total Divas maybe just maybe the Divas Division will start making its own history and I hope the name Emma is all over it.
She is rather purdy to boot!


Title

There are probably enough wrestling title belts, real or replica, in the world to hold up the trousers of a large European city.
Speaking of titles and Europe. There's a picture of WWE's best looking title belt, yes I am a tad bias. But it was just so nice to look at. 
I don't own any replica belts, but I would love to make this the first if I ever do.



Hot

Hot? Molly Holly was hot. Molly Holly was proper hot as Mighty Molly. 

Hot.



Thanks again to @MissPaigeMartin a fellow follower and SegHead for the Sunday Segue podcast and one of the gooduns of the IWC.


Fast Three Count with @WrestlingChron

My good pal Erik from the The Wrestling Chronicle sent me this Fast Three Count.


Paul Heyman

Possibly wrestlings 2nd biggest genius behind McMahon. I gotta believe that his only downfall with the business is his love for the business. I get the impression he's too much of a purist and actual wrestling fan to achieve what McMahon has done business wise.
On screen he is easily one of the best talkers and knows exactly how to tap into a audiences head. Heel, face, manager, commentator, promoter or writer I love what he does.


Bobby Heenan

Never understood how great this man is until the internet came about. Yeah I'd seen him on the commentary table and managing but I was too young and simple minded to appreciate the brains behind The Brain. 
A truly magical wrestling personality and just as entertaining as anyone who has stepped foot in or around the ring.
Now in a loud clear voice say with me "We the Weasel!".


Jim Cornette

Watching Cornette as youngster I knew he was different from other on screen characters. I never knew it at the time but it's because he works from the hip and shoots the script. 
Looking back he seems to have been a bit of a line blurrer. 
I still find him awkward to watch be it on a show or shoot interview, he's never caught my interest and he held a tennis racket for some reason.
