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 iTunes, Amazon 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.

#SexyBoyNo1

That's the hashtag! #SexyBoyNo1. Let's make it quite trendy. As some of you may know I have a little goal to try and get the IWC masses, novelty lovers, old wrestling fans, music buyers to get Shawn Michaels' WWE theme music to get to Number 1 in a music chart, at the least grab a Top 40 spot.

To make this ....Boyhood dream a reality we all need to spread the word and keep in mind Monday 31st March. This is the date that purchases of the track will count towards the official chart and make that dream come true.

All you gotta do to help achieve this is just download the Sexy Boy track on iTunes on Monday 31st March or before April 6th.

There are a handful of supporters and IWC corner stones who want to see this done including @AEPodcast, TeamRock Radio @Beez_says, 4CRs own and IWC HOF @BunnySuicida, the UKs Sunday staple @SundaySegue and good friend of mine and yours, Erik over at the The Wrestling Chronicle!

I don't really have any motives for starting this than just something fun that the IWC can do together and just get wrestling noticed by the people who would normally pass on by, get remembered by those who have forgotten and just to celebrate Wrestlemania week with Mr.Wrestlemania himself good ol' HBShizzle Shawn Michaels.

We've got a couple of weeks to get this moving and noticed, so help spread the word, its 99p, use the #, use the link, get people on it!

Shawn Michaels 'Sexy Boy' theme number 1 for 'Mania Sunday

Just a little catch up with all those currently following and a welcome to all the new lot!

Response so far has been great for this pipedream, some good help and positive feedback to get Shawn Michaels' theme 'Sexy Boy' to number 1 or at least chart in the UK and US charts for Wrestlemania Sunday.

With Mania being on April 6th the purchasing of the single should be made from Monday March 31st in order for sales to count towards Wrestlemania.

Assuming most will be purchased on itunes keep a look out for which one you buy, some of the versions aren't exactly arena worthy. Here's a link for a goodun 'Sexy Boy' .

Give me a shout if you're on board, let's get this going with plenty of time.

Make 'Sexy Boy' A Wrestlemania Number One!

So we enter a new calendar year which is the same old bag of new starts and resolutions to which we fail and make ourselves feel miserable and unaccomplished. But to keen WWE fans it could be considered the first junction on the Road to Wrestlemania.

I love simply love Wrestlemania. As an adult that doesn't really follow football or NFL the F.A Cup and the Superbowl doesn't do much for me but Wrestlemania is my World Cup Final. I've grown up looking forward to Wrestlemania Sunday for 15 years now and the whole build up for the months before just gets me so hyped for the Grandest Stage of All. 

Once we get into the final stretch, the last week, the go home shows, Wrestlemania is ALIVE! 

This year I want to make it different.

We all remember the night of IZOD and how Fandango went on a chartbusting mission. The IWC plus one, almost got the Fandango theme song to crack the UK Top 40. 

As it was unfolding I got thinking. If 'Killing In The Name' could be Christmas number 1 why couldn't 'Sexy Boy' become a Wrestlemania week charting track?

Shawn Michaels is Mr. Wrestlemania, his entrance theme is one of the all time best, it will be Mania week and maybe just maybe, it will be a fun thing to celebrate with IWC, wrestling fans and non fans alike.

So I would like to get the ball rolling, get the word out and try and get a few people on the band wagon with this. Please do spread the word and help achieve something great for the IWC.

KBW on the Sunday Segue Podcast

Today I had the pleasure of recording my first podcast to be broadcast with the @SundaySegue lads. 

Kinny and Sugs gave me the opportunity to chuck in my two cents on the WWE from Wrestlemania to now.

I was so happy that these guys went out of their way to invite me on their show, it's this supportive, positive and friendly side to the IWC that gives me hope in wrestling fandom.

Kinny and Sugs normally will run down the weeks happenings in the WWE, mostly RAW with  Smackdown in 60 seconds and a brief touch on nXt and news and rumours. They have a very honest opinion and don't shy away from what they think! 

That's right. Wrestling fans who not only think for themselves but will actually voice their opinion. You don't need to agree with them on everything they say, that's what is great about opinions, you can have your own. 

But I do urge you to go and give Sunday Segue Podcast a listen on iTunes and get to know the guys from the UK. 

Thanks again to Kinny and Sugs for giving me the chance to guest on their show!

Let's Talk. The Undertaker vs Cena.

John Cena squaring off against The Undertaker has already happened a few times through the mid 2000s but John Cena vs The Undertaker at Wrestlemania has never happened. 

Will this ever happen? Could this ever happen? 'Taker may not have too many matches left and with the somewhat ambiguous situation involving The Shield, the white hot Daniel Bryan and Brock Lesnar looking for trouble there could be some other opponents for 'Taker to go for.

Would WWE or its fans benefit from pitting super Cena against The Deadman?
I believe given the right angle it could be oh so more than epic.

Personally I would love to see this match happen and have spent a few commutes to work thinking about how this could go down.

Respect

Hustle, Loyalty and Respect. It's what Cena is all about and it could play a part in this match up. If Cena decided to take the challenge to Undertaker he say it's all about respect and wants to have the honour to try and beat the streak. 

King Bingus Top 10 .... RAW moments

We all have our favorite wrestling moments. We all have those memories of watching wrestling and thinking that we have just seen something amazing, surprising, special, historic and even sometimes funny. Or it may be that you have been to a live show and caught up in the atmosphere made in the arena and created a bit of an emotional attachment to the show.

I wouldn't blame you, live shows are 1010 times better than they come across on TV. 

Many of these moments for wrestling fans, with good chance, would have been provided by WWE PPV or TV. These moments maybe in form of backstage interviews or brawls, in ring action or promos, or a formation of new a team. WWE's Monday night, flagship, weekly, episodic, longest running, highest tweeted, most viewed show on TV, 3 hour, RAW could also be responsible for your favorite moments in wrestling.

This is a quick look at my personal favorite Raw moments and little bit on why I like them so much.


10.  RAW IS JERICHO - August 9 1999

By this point I had become fully immersed with in WWE and was just so into the whole product. Every week just seemed to deliver more gold than the last and I had been getting hyped by a countdown to the millennium clock on Raw.
I was a complete spoiler free kid watching Raw in a TV lounge of a hotel in Spain with a dozen or so kids all as compelled by wrestling as me. 
When the countdown clock interrupted none other than The Rock we knew what ever was about to happen was gonna be big. Then this guy who I didn't recognize appeared and a couple of the other kids in the lounge piped up by telling us he was a WCW wrestler. It was at that point I knew we was in for a treat and what followed just pumped me up more.
This made it to the top 10 not only because of the debut it self but also what that moment gave us WWE fans.
