Coming Soon to UnWrest...

What's up everyone?

First, I hope you are all enjoying the Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat series on UnWrest Focus. I know I talked about it for weeks, and I'm glad to have finally been able to get it off the ground and done today. The rebranded Focus is up and running now. And this was the best rivalry to start it off. Check it out if you get a chance. (The 3rd post, WrestleWar 89, has links to the other two.)

Secondly, I'm announcing that I'm doing a second UnWrest Focus over the next few weeks. Courtesy of one of my brothers from another mother (who does an awesome Ric Flair impersonation by the way that could rival Jay Lethal), I will be covering the Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels rivalry from 2008. This will include reviews for their matches at Judgment Day, The Great American Bash 2008, Unforgiven 2008, and No Mercy 2008. I will also attempt to hit the key moments in their rivalry, though I will probably be missing a couple things here or there.

**** Go to twitter.com/cdub1898 if you want to vote for the next rivalry I take a look at. The poll is currently pinned on my page. The options are Cena vs. Punk from 2011 to 2013, Austin vs. Rock (WrestleMania XV, X-Seven, and XIX), Omega vs. Okada (2017-2018), and Sting vs. Vader (1992-1994). "Winner winner, chicken dinner" for whatever gets the most votes. So, if you have a preference, click on the link and vote.****

Next, here's the rundown for what I'm covering this week...

Sunday- NJPW Destruction (Tanahashi vs. Okada)

Monday- (Twitter) Raw Thoughts

Tuesday- (Twitter) SmackDown Live Thoughts

Friday- UnWrest: Weekly TV Thoughts

When I Get Them Done: Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels- UnWrest Focus

Note: I will NOT be covering ROH's Death Before Dishonor. To me, it's a lazily thrown together show, and I'm not spending $20 for a glorified house show. Final Battle will likely get a buy from me.

Finally, I am kicking around doing a DDP Yoga blog update on here daily. I know this is a wrestling review website, but DDP Yoga is about as wrestling related as exercise programs have been. I've done the program before, but I got off of it. I gained a few too many pounds. And I recently made the commitment to buy into the program for a full year to put my $$$ down on getting back in shape. So, if you are interested in seeing that, or if you want me to make a sister blog for DDP Yoga blogs, let me know what you think. I'm looking at starting this in a week.

Hope you are all enjoying the blog. Comment with any ideas or suggestions. Until next time, take care of yourselves and spread some awesomeness.

UnWrest Focus- The Rock vs. Stone Cold at WrestleMania Part II- WrestleMania X-Seven

Welcome to the second of three posts looking at the epic rivalry between The Rock and Stone Cold at WrestleMania. This edition will look at the iconic encounter between the two at WrestleMania X-Seven. As previously mentioned on the first post, their encounter in 2001 was a culmination of different paths coming together to reunite a classic feud. While The Rock and Stone Cold had met at WrestleMania XV and Backlash in 1999, their next major epic match was not until this show. While the end of No Mercy 1999 hinted that these two and Triple H would be involved in a Triple Threat match, Stone Cold needed to get his neck surgery that he had put off for a couple years. While Austin went out for his neck surgery, the company turned to The Rock as the sole lead face on WWF programming. The Rock was the central attaction of WWF programming from 1999-2000 and helped the company maintain its position as the #1 wrestling promotion in the world. (WCW's own internal problems helped with that...

WWE TLC 2018 Review- Tables and Ladders and Chairs, Oh My!

HERE WE GO! Pre-Show 1) WWE Cruiserweight Championship Buddy Murphy (champ) vs. Cedric Alexander They started this match early. Apparently, they wanted just as many fans in the arena as there usually are in 205 Live matches for this to give it the authentic feel. The bell rings. A lot of tie-ups and switches to start up the match to a good reaction from the crowd. A Loud 205 Chant. Alexander takes down Murphy to the floor. Really good back and forth action here with both men moving quickly. Alexander catches Murphy with a dropkick for a 2 count. BIG KNEE to the head of Alexander sends him to the floor. Murphy flies off the top rope and hits a Meteora (maybe that’s what they were going for?) for a 2 count. Murphy has the advantage for a few moments, including a power choke on the corner on Alexander. He jumps off it to eat a SUPERKICK to the chest. Crowd seems invested in the matc...

UnWrest Focus- Survivor Series: Team Cena vs. Team Authority (Survivor Series 2014)

A feud between those who abuse power and those who try to overcome their abuse. It's a classic storytelling trope that has been used time and time again throughout fiction and history. In 2014, that trope was brought back as The Authority looked to cement its power through their "Chosen One" Seth Rollins and his team. Meanwhile, John Cena and other disgruntled WWE employees sought to end the "Reign of Terror" of The Authority once and for all. Putting their jobs on the line, Team Cena hoped to get an opportunity to send Stephanie and Triple H away. However, fans didn't expect a traitor in the midst of Team Cena or the debut of the Franchise of WCW in a WWE ring. This is the latest edition of UnWrest Focus: Survivor Series, and it's going to be a memorable one at that. Let's do this! WWE Survivor Series 2014 11/23/14 Survivor Series Match Team Cena (John Cena, Big Show, Ryback, Erick Rowan, and Dolph Ziggler) vs. Team Authority (Seth Rollins, ...
