Welbeck, Giroud, Ozil = Arsenal Disaster! #AFCvsMON

First off, it hasn't been a pleasant afternoon for fellow gunners fans worldwide on Wednesday, as the fantastic Arsenal were left picking up the pieces of dignity they had shattered on the grounds of Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night. As you may all know, Arsenal were kicked in the nuts 3-1 at home to Monaco, a team that on paper only would've been considered inferior to the Gunners! The indignity suffered wasn't the cause of one or two players, as the entire team were shockingly horrible on a night that should have been a moment of celebrating our first success in five years of 'round of 16' Champions League football. 
Danny Welbeck, is well, #thatGuy... He proves to be 'that guy' who repeatedly provides clear cut chances in the box that eventually becomes nothing but a squandered opportunity as per usual! It pains any fan to see the likes of Theo Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain rusting on the bench on a night where they should have been granted the green-light to spear-head the Arsenal attack! There is no hate whatsoever towards Welbeck, but the truth of the matter is simple, he just isn't good enough! When Welbeck was purchased for as cheap as he was, I'm surprised that it never dawned on Wenger and party that United were too quick to give away a striker they no longer needed, so with this being the case, why have we happily received this riff-raff? 

On to Giroud, good ole Oli Giroud, the man who was quickly becoming a legend among the Arsenal fans, but once again showed that he just isn't up to scratch for the big games yet again! While he had numerous chances to change the complexion of the game, Giroud failed when it mattered most, and thus was easily one of, if not, the worst performer of a night to forget. A top striker has been on the lips of the fans for quite some time now, pleading with Wenger to make this signing for the betterment of a club that desperately yearns success, only to have it fall on deaf ears, as usual. The inclusion of a player such as Cavani, or Gonzalo Huguain would have solved the problems in attack, but based on the manager's preference, struggles seem to the be the only thing he seems happy to relate to over and over again! While on the topic of struggles, enter Mesut Ozil! With big bright bulby eyes, and a heck of a track record to go along with them, Ozil has once again proved to the world that he isn't what Arsenal needs! Wednesday night surely did Mesut no favors, as he was practically invisible throughout the game! As a World Cup winner and a former Real Madrid star, Ozil was to be the promise that the fans were dying for, only to have that seemingly dashed in the garbage heap! When will this club once again taste glory?

The thought of the second leg in Monaco already sends chills down our spines, as this has already emitted doubts of a comeback by Arsenal. With the likes of Dimitar Berbatov once again revved up to take on his 'back in the day' rivals, I can't help but feel even more concerned when during an interview after Wednesday's game, he stated that Arsenal wanted this, but Monaco simply wanted it more! Where is the aggression from Wenger's men? Have they already thrown in the towel? There is further need to speculate that this may indeed be Wenger's final season, but then again, that's highly doubtful. I must however, give credit to Alexis Sanchez for his display, though not one of his best. The Chilean forward did as much as he possibly could to provide chances for his strikers, only to see them all wasted. One can't help but imagine Alexis' frustration in the side, as he seems to be miles apart from the rest in terms of hunger and sheer aggression. 

The essence of it is this, Welbeck needs to be benched, he should be given the Sanogo treatment and stay put! Giroud should never have been the main striker to begin with, as he is good, but just not good enough; and as for Ozil, it's no doubt that his career is losing its breath as the games go by, and this lad just seems as though he doesn't want to be at Arsenal. Arsene Wenger should shoulder some of that blame, as he is known to be a bit too 'chill' with his players, and that's whats lacking in the dressing room, that fire! The invincibles of 2003-04 had sheer poise, hunger, and power when they successfully overturned a 3-0 1st leg deficit and inflicted a 5-1 hammering to Inter Milan that year in the round of 16 Champions League stage! What Arsenal lack, is the leadership and fight to achieve such a result, which further cements the indigestible fact that Wenger's time is maybe just about up!

WWE FAST LANE Review! One hell of a show!

Now the results are finally in, and I must say, I completely forgot about the 2015 Oscars, oh my! Annnnyyyyywwwaaayyy, on to WWE Fast Lane!!! What an insane night, full of insane twists and turns, but in the end, it was a night to remember indeed! If WWE Network subscribers won any thing out of their membership, it was this fantastic Pay-Per-View event they got a chance to witness, for free!

Starting from the bottom up, lets take a look at the six man tag match. A good but unexpected win for Team Rollins as I was really looking forward to Orton actually influencing a victory in the favor of Team Ziggler, but sadly that wasn't even the case, but hell we got to see the return of the Viper, and he smells some Seth Blood!!! Look forward to a clash at Wrestlemania, with possibly the MITB briefcase being up for grabs too! Good to see that Orton is back and in excellent shape I might add, but I hope that WWE doesn't bury him as they have been in the past...

The most awkward and dullest moment tonight had to be the Cosmic Stars colliding, or whatever the crap that was! Goldust, Stardust, should've  happened two years ago, when Cody was hot in the company and Goldust had more mileage in him to say the least, but WWE oddly decided to pull out the 'better late than never' card most conveniently, resulting in a hot mess of a match which never even took off from the start. In my honest opinion, that small-package pinfall by Goldust was a tad cheap, but thankfully, ended the match as soon as it did! The biggest setback in all this for the WWE Universe, is that sadly this rivalry may even be stretched across to Wrestlemania due to the painful fact that Stardust took it upon himself to assault his own brother backstage in front of Papa Dusty! How rude indeed....

Moving on to a more positive note, Tyson Kidd and Cesaro are finally having things go their way at long last! Their victory tonight was nothing short of remarkable, and kudos to the Usos for selling their defeat the way they did, allowing some more heat to be packed on the new deadly duo of Kidd/Cesaro, who I hope to see face each other soon in the near future, because surely, that's got to be what's best for business WWE.... Congrats to the new champs!

Paige vs Nikki Bella really irked me to the point that I would've thrown my cereal bowl at the TV tonight, but let's face it, I'd rather have just thrown said bowl at WWE Creative instead! How on earth can you find it in yourselves to justify Paige losing like some little commoner? This isn't Emma or some whack-job backstage Diva, this is Paige! This woman was supposed to be the upgraded version of AJ Lee for crying out loud, but now the company has her jobbing to the likes of Nikki Bella?? I've honestly never seen Nikki Bella as the face of the Diva's division, except for her spots on Total Divas when she's with her boo John Cena, so why is she now seemingly the future of the Divas? I didn't enjoy this match one bit, only because Paige was the dumbed down version of her true self tonight. Congrats are still in order for Nikki Bella retaining her title.

I'm not so sure if I'm at all satisfied with the finish of the Intercontinental Title match with Ambrose and Bad News Barrett, this match was one with a great start, only with a slightly unexpected finish. Ambrose will be champion soon, but I'm 100%| sure this will happen at the grandest show of 'em all, Wrestlemania! Apparently the match either ended up in a DQ in favor of Barrett or it was thrown out to a no contest, either way, it was so-so!

One of the most entertaining matches of the night was the US Championship match! Cena and Rusev put on a hell of a show! Rusev was the man of the match without a doubt, and although his victory was all but questionable, with that disturbing kick in Cena's nuts, then the Accolade right after, Rusev needed that win tonight to further cement his status as the unbeaten Russian Brute in America! The biggest controversy however, was the fact that Cena did not tap-out, as he was out cold like Stone Cold back at Wrestlemania 13! I'm guessing we will see a rematch at Wrestlemania 31, and possibly this time, a submission match or an I Quit Match!

The Main Event, fantastic!! Amazing!! Stupendous!! Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan battled for their lives tonight, and this match was literally an easy 4* match!! I was a bit skeptical to say the least with the events leading up to tonight's main event, but man I was not disappointed to say the least, despite the fact that the match ended in favor of Roman Reigns! Daniel Bryan was fantastic tonight, and it was no doubt that he shouldered the majority of tonight's match, but at the same time, kudos to Roman Reigns for coming out the believable winner! It's no secret that I am not a huge fan of Reigns, nor will I ever be, but I must say that I felt happy for him on his victory tonight, but at the same time, I'm not expecting this quality match between him and Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania. My doubts lie solely on the fact that these two guys aren't the most entertaining to watch unless they step in the ring with someone who already packs top entertainment value like Rollins, Ziggler and Bryan for example, so I guess we will see what's to come within the next five weeks on the road to Mania!

On a side note, well two side notes, I was thrilled to see the superb mash-up between Sting and Triple H, although it was no doubt that Triple H sold this rivalry much more than Sting could've but needless to say, the WWE Universe ate it all up like a bucket of KFC! This encounter at Wrestlemania should be one hell of a showdown, as they already gave us all a sneak preview of what's to come! I'm still amazed at where it is that Sting keeps his baseball bats when clearly he didn't have it in his pockets! Either way, Sting delivering his Stinger Splash/Death Drop on Triple H was fantastic! Nostalgia at it's finest!

The second side note, and the biggest, was Bray Wyatt's bold step in calling out the Undertaker the way he did tonight! When we saw the minions marching with their torches and the casket, that small casket, some already had it figured out that the person in that casket was definitely not the Undertaker, but I'm pretty sure that we all had a hint it was indeed Bray Wyatt! A showdown of the two most deranged minds in WWE history will prove to be mouthwatering, as I can't help but think at the same time that this may just as well be the last hurrah for the Undertaker after over 2 decades of long-standing service to the company, and he has been fantastic! Here's to hoping that this match will indeed be a Casket Match, and a kick-ass match indeed!

Tune in tomorrow night at 8pm for WWE RAW to witness first hand, the aftermath of WWE Fast Lane!

Is Louis Van Gaal rubbish for Manchester United? Falcao OUT??

The burden and torture as of late to actually tune in to a Manchester United match has become somewhat unbearable, as not only have they tanked at Swansea, but the seem to be slipping further and further away to the amusement of the other top teams in the Barclay's Premier League! Their main flaw is this: their tactics are all wrong! How can you deploy a formation that counter attacks every thing that the club has stood for for decades? When Sir Alex left United, he believed he left it in the capable hands of David Moyes, his then successor, but all went crashing like a meat van on bicycle wheels! Soon after around just nine months, Moyes was fired as the manager, thus making way for the present manager, Van Gaal! Rival clubs were shaking in their good ol' boots as the Dutch Manager made his way to the club in rather fine style! He was ready and rearing to go and lift Manchester United out of the slumps! or, so we thought...

Mind you, United are in a much better position than where they were last season, in regards to their table position! Sure they currently sit in 4th place, looking to cement their spot in next season's Champions League tournament to say the least, but it's not all glamour for the Red Devils at all! They have not only been carded as long-ball flunkies, but also their passion as a team has been in question too. What happened to the Wayne Rooney just a couple years ago, or the ever clinical Robin Van Persie who was their savior in his first season at the club? Keep in mind that along with his 'Judas' tag, he's now seen as the clown of London as Arsenal fans everywhere are stoning the legacy of their former prized prince of the club! Van Persie's performance as main striker has proved to be abysmal to say the least, suggesting he's clearly seen his better days finally behind him. Angel Di Maria is certainly not the proud young chap he was back in September when he was reveling in the start of his debut season for the club, and to put it mildly, the Angel has clipped his own wings! To make matters worse for LVG, what on earth has he done to poor Radamel Falcao? That man was brought in to make the goals rain, not to be keeping his bench warm for the team! It's sufficient to say, however, that Falcao still hasn't fully recovered from his injuries sustained while representing AS Monaco, but is that the excuse that may save him from being sent back to France? In all honesty, I believe this kid still has talent, but he may just as well end up like Fernando Torres and Andriy Shevchenko should he be signed permanently to LVG's tragic team. Funny, but true, while Falcao is only on loan, he secures up to 265,000 British Pounds per week, but yet he's no better than Chris Smalling in attack! The big question is, who is to blame? Falcao, or LVG?

Making space to accommodate Van Persie has proven to be rather costly for Van Gaal, but sadly, the Dutch magician fails to listen to the fans, especially on the topic of formations and updated tactics. Van Gaal is a bit too proud as a coach, which eventually could result in his own self-destruction and be whisked away into nothingness just like Moyes (God bless Real Sociedad tho).... If Van Gaal was able to splash over $150 million shouldn't he be producing even better results than David Moyes did during his spell? He simply has failed, and he continues to fail because of his own selfish desires and pride, the two traits United do not need at the moment. 

The question isn't about who needs to leave, it's about who needs to come in, and to add to that list, a coach is needed! Van Gaal has accounted for one success story thus far, proving to be a greater pig-headed gaffer than Arsene Wenger, but at the end of the day, Van Gaal commands so much authority, he's never going to receive the Moyes treatment any time soon from neither the fans, the players, nor the media. United need more than money for a new squad, they need that sense of belief once again that the world feared, they need a manager that not only models Sir Alex, but to surpass him at all levels, to upgrade the level of United's football!

We're currently halfway into the 2014-15 season, and the #SACKLVG fliers are nowhere in sight at the moment, so it's safe to say that the Manchester United faithful will be waiting this one out before they call for the Dutch's head! In the end, it's all up to the board as to what's really the best direction for the club, and if they do believe in LVG, best believe that this club is no better than when Moyes was in charge and never will be, unless Van Gaal finally listens to his fans!

WWE Fast Lane predictions!

The dawning of yet another fantastic WWE pay-per-view is finally among us! WWE will debut its Fast Lane event, which has now replaced the destructive Elimination Chamber for some odd reason, now is it safe to say we will be seeing some cars right below the titantron tomorrow night? Eh. We will take a look at the major fights of tomorrow night's big event, and let's see the upsets of the night that will unfold very soon before us all!

Cena vs Rusev (c) - WWE United States Championship

First of all, let's put the pieces together on this one folks, there's no way in hell, that Rusev and Cena will have a clean finish in this one, simply put, this match will go straight to a DQ just for them to up the ante at Wrestlemania 31 to maybe finish the chapter, or perhaps draw it out for as long as they possibly can! Rusev has been unbeaten for as long as he's been in the WWE, so safe to say, he's not losing his undefeated streak at Fast Lane, and to top things off, I find it highly unlikely that John Cena, the biggest name in pro wrestling this generation, is going to be the US Champion! The showpiece of this setup is to pretty much hype up this encounter as best as possible and man, have WWE done a heck of a job so far! I see a double countout or a double DQ in this one, I predict it will end up in a possible street fight!

Winner: Double DQ

Goldust vs Stardust

The match that's been about two years in the making is finally, finally about to happen! Is it possible that WWE are finally giving good ol' Goldust a proper sendoff? He's dedicated about two decades to this company of fantastic work, and it's about time to finally pass the mantle to his little bro once and for all. Prediction for this match is Cody, errrr, Stardust coming out the winner.

Winner: Stardust

Paige vs Nikki Bella (c)

The battle for Total Divas supremacy will continue tomorrow night! The day that's been dreaded by the hardcore wrestling fans, the cast have taken over the division, so where do the odd ones fit in? Anyway, it's simple as this, this match will end up going the Bella way, possibly with the return of AJ Lee coming in to cause the distraction that will set up page for the fall, prompting another AJ vs Paige thriller! So as predicted, Nikki Bella for the win!

Winner: Nikki Bella

The Usos(c) vs Tyson Kidd/Cesaro - WWE Tag Team Championship

As the nights continue to rise, so has this new tag team of Kidd/Cesaro! I see the possibility of these two underdogs finally coming out with some reward after all these years of being overlooked. The Usos however, have been on one hell of a roll, and while I'd love to say that I don't see them letting go of the gold any time soon, I believe their time's up tomorrow night, but surely I expect this rivalry to carry on until Wrestlemania with a little extra spice and flavor to create yet agai an epic encounter for weeks to come!

Winners: Kidd/Cesaro

Bad News Barrett(c) vs Dean Ambrose - Intercontinental Championship

The fringe lunatic vs the Bad News barrage!! Expect a helluva match tomorrow night! Barrett has been away for some time, but now the Bad News is back! He's got a point to prove, and he's not letting go of his title that easy, believe that! Then, we have the psychotic Ambrose, the reincarnation of the Joker, who's got more of a point to prove than anyone in the business! Dean deserves his night, and I'm 150% certain that he's taking no prisoners at Fast Lane! It's the leader of the Nexus vs the unstable dynamite of the Shield! Ambrose will rise above and take this!

Winner: Dean Ambrose

Rollins/Kane/Big Show vs Ryback/Rowan/Ziggler

Uuuuggghhhh!!!! Enough already with this Authority bullsh*t  man!!! I get that the point is to get the fans all flustered, but this isn't working at all! I hope for the love of all that is good, that we don't have a rivalry build- up to Wrestlemania, because that would just be dumb to soak in! Looking a bit deeper at this rivalry, this is pretty much a mini-rematch of last year's Survivor Series match where Ziggler came out the winner, but in this one, expect Rollins to deliver a signed and sealed 'curb-stomp' for the near victory, only to have this match kicked to the curb by a returning Randy Orton!

Winners: Ryback/Rowan/Ziggler

Roman Reigns vs Daniel Bryan (Winner to face Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania)

As a fan of the YES! movement, I'm hoping to see a good finish for Daniel Bryan, and for Reigns to bite the dust! Unfortunately, WWE aren't going to allow their egos to shatter before them for the sake of their 'spoiled' fans who were pretty much moaning about Reign's weird win at the Royal Rumble. WWE will find a million reasons to stand by their decision and allow Reigns to main event at Wrestlemania! Reigns will finally get his dream to face the beast, but to what extent will that dream be realized? This is my prediction, Bryan and Reigns will be a no-contest, due to the interference of Brock Lesnar to dispose of both these guys tomorrow night during their match to perhaps set up a mouth-watering triple threat match at Wrestlemania! After-all, Bryan still deserves to invoke his rematch clause!

Winner: No Contest


Tune in tomorrow night on the WWE Network or on Pay-Per-View for this one which promises to be a blast! Enjoy the night one and all and I'll see you all after the show!

Sunday 15 February 2015

Arsene Wenger's reasons to stick around! or not?

Arsenal FC have faced some challenging times this season that can be summed up as 'bittersweet' to say the very least... but what are we as their fans doing about it? After what I witnessed as a horrid display in tactics when Arsenal lost to Tottenham 2-1 last week, I literally threw my crockery out the window, thankfully, no one was hurt by this ordeal of mine! Arsene Wenger has time and time proven to himself that he is the master manipulator, a magician of old, and a football genius, but has he proven that to everyone else?






Taking a look back at last season, we managed to barely scrape the surface and managed to come out on top with the much coveted FA Cup trophy, our first trophy in nearly nine years of despair and frustration, but nonetheless we had a reason to finally celebrate the end of an era! Full of strength and filled with pride once again, Arsenal were back on cloud nine, or so it seemed. Before the opening of the Premier League season on 2014-15, we went ahead once again and won ourselves another trophy, the Community Shield, after we rightfully thrashed a poor Manchester City 3-0 to end their nightmares! Oh how things started to finally look up for the Arsenal supporters! Where then did we go wrong? A season that looked promising has so far resulted yet in another desperate attempt to salvage fourth place once again just like every other season for the past ten years and counting. Is Wenger really the problem, or are we expecting way too much from the gaffer?





In an article I previously posted, I was clear on the fact that Wenger should pack up and leave, for the sake of the club, after nine barren years of depression! After watching a few of Arsenal's last games, I somehow found a glimmer of hope that would allow me to accept the possibility of Arsene sticking around a little bit more, but only for the sake of our players and fans finding the courage to believe in Wenger once again. We defeated Man. City yet again, but this time in the Premier League, in their backyard! BOOM BOOM POW! Madness and jubilation filled the skies of North London, but of course Chelsea were just as much celebrating as we were, all for the obvious reasons of course! Wenger pulled out that ol' book of tactics he seemed to have returned to his local library nine years ago, finally putting it back to good use! Sure we didn't play the most attractive football, but it was football nonetheless and we were back to beating the big teams yet again! Fast forward to the Tottenham match, Wenger brought back the exact tactics he used against City, to a team that were never as superior as Arsenal to begin with, only to see it backfire in his face.  It doesn't take a simple man or woman who knows Arsenal's history with Spurs, to realize that Wenger was doing nothing but crap from the moment the kick-off whistle blew! The scary thing is this, not only did we face defeat to our London rivals, but now we are yet again scratching our way hoping to make it back in the top four for a Champions League tournament that we seem destined to 'not' win any time soon.





Wenger however, will have defended his claim that he is indeed the right man to see us through our difficult times, and especially with the implementation of Financial Fair Play, he sees himself as savior, which to some extent, rightly so. Wenger also believes he's able to continue to nurture the young stars such as Chamberlain, Walcott, Alexis, Ramsey, Ozil and even Coquelin to become world-class under his watchful eye! Who would argue about his determination to see the likes of Yaya Sanogo and Danny Welbeck blossom into two of the deadliest strikers in world football, only to eventually come to terms with that failure? Arsene Wenger is a man of chances, a man who sees the potential in even a rock, who/what he believes can be converted to the next Thierry Henry, but has so often ended up unsuccessful in his venture to do so.  The ruthlessness possessed by such managers like Ancelotti, Mourinho, Guardiola, and even Van Gaal, is what it takes to succeed in this Game of Thrones, which is our game of football.





Should Arsenal see better years, it will take a lot more than just hopes and dreams and WengerIn/WengerOut tweets and banners, we need the fans to voice whats truly in their heart and finally be heard! Arsene Wenger has been a significant contributor to the team, but how can we continue to overlook the big mistakes such as the refusal to re-sign Fabregas from Barcelona, who now has put his new club Chelsea on top of their football rivals? That alone in itself is considered a sackable offense! How can we afford to watch a manager who places feelings and favoritism above the game itself? I'd be the most disappointed fan if we do fail to qualify for a the Champions League next season, but I'd be even more disappointed if Wenger did stick around just the same after that, because the reason is simple, we need to grow, we need a leader who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, afraid to embark upon new challenges, afraid to make decisions that's best for business, even if that means sacrificing French pride to do so!





Arsenal are in need of a successful season, a season where we the fans, can once again say In Wenger we Trust, let's get the ball rolling in the meantime, support our club, and get behind the team to the very end! 





P.S.: Wenger, we're watching you!   -_-     -_-       -_- 

WWE after CM PUNK... Roman Reigns who??


Allow me to roll-out the belated 'HAPPY NEW YEAR' carpet and once again say WELCOME to live! I've been away for some time due to personal reasons, but now dudes and dudettes. I am back! 

Right to the topic of WWE, and their developmental issues after the release of CM Punk, it's undoubtedly a rather bittersweet period for the company and the WWE Universe to say the least! Punk has been gone for a little over a year now, and safe to say, the company may or may have not moved on from the era of the self-proclaimed 'Best in the World'. After all, we haven't had a single competitor challenge Punk's 434 day reign as WWE champion to this day, and to think that the current champion, Brock Lesnar, is pretty much the perfect example of a stay-at-home dad. Since the departure of CM Punk, WWE has groomed a fresh new pair of stars who are safe to say, pretty impressive at the moment! If this continues, WWE will have already proved their critics wrong without remorse. Has WWE moved past the Punk Era?

First entrant to the table:

(1) Daniel Bryan - The jack of all trades! Whether it be a tag team match, a ladder match, cage match, or a good ol' one on one match, Daniel Bryan is that guy you want to see in the ring! Standing at around 5ft  8', Bryan may not be the biggest guy in the ring, but he certainly isn't far from being one of the best in the WWE, and at this rate, it's safe to say that this guy has pretty much everything in terms of in-ring ability of CM Punk, if not even more. Who can argue with the buzz of the arena that chants 'YES!' to every thing Bryan says and does in the ring? I've never remembered the fans being this electric since the night Stone Cold defeated HBK back at Wrestlemania 14 in 1998! Daniel Bryan will contribute the most significant piece to the regeneration of WWE, only if Vince McMahon and his crappy writers can finally get this right!


(2) Dolph Ziggler - From nothing to Something, the tale of a man who fell from grace so many times, but eventually overcame the odds and finally blasted his way back to the top-tier! Ziggler offers athleticism, charisma, and a never say never fighting spirit that we saw back at Survivor Series 2014, when he took out the Authority pretty much all by himself even when the odds were seriously stacked against him! The flashy 'Show-Off' superstar has earned his place among the ranks of awesomeness, and if WWE continue to push him, he'll find himself in the main-event sooner than even he may expect. 



(3) Seth Rollins - I hate the authority, but I love Seth Rollins as a top heel! I never would've thought for a second, that Mr. Money in the Bank would've wowed me the way he has at this point, especially since I always thought his contribution to the Shield was a little lackluster in comparison to what he has become now! Rollins has it all just like Bryan! Charisma, high-risk athlete, great mic-skills, and he is the heel that you can't help but love seeing in action each and every week! Rollins has held his own against the likes of Cena, Bryan, Dean Ambrose, and even Brock Lesnar! That triple threat match back at the Rumble was one of the best matches I've ever seen, and if you compare it to the previous Lesnar/Cena feuds in the past, you can't help but admit that Rollins was the BIG difference between a 'decent' match and a 'HELL OF A MATCH!' This is a sign of great things to come for this young man, and yes some of us are aware that his nude pics did indeed get leaked, but that hopefully wont put a dent in his already stellar career.


(4) Dean Ambrose - The lunatic! Let's hope that he will be champion one day soon, but for now, I'd like to see him take on the Intercontinental title at this point, to establish his push to the top a little more, especially since he has suffered so many PPV defeats as of late to the hands of Bray Wyatt and Seth Rollins. Dean's career wont be hampered by these losses, but only help propel him further to his goal to become a legend of legends since Mankind and Jake the Snake! My only wish right this moment is to see Ambrose winning more and more matches leading up to Wrestlemania 31, this guy is just simply too awesome! (Sorry Miz)


(5) Bray Wyatt - The leader of the damned, the lost shepherd leading the lost sheep, how fitting?! Wyatt (formerly Husky Harris from Nexus) has really taken the throne as the WWE's biggest heel to date! Talk about more than a lunatic, this guy is simply on another level! Criticize his weight all you like, Bray Wyatt continues to defy the odds with his in-ring ability, especially that crazy spider walk that I swear can pop a spine, and his intriguing mic-skills! I swear this guy is a perfect machine on the mic, he never once messed up his lines, not once! The fans are so into him it's so scary! Bray will rule WWE for years to come, his time is already drawing close when it comes to being the next WWE Champion!

Some of you may have already noticed that I never even mentioned Roman Reigns, how on earth did I forget to do that? Simply put, I actually didn't! Reigns is pretty much what's wrong with WWE. The next over-hyped thing in professional entertainment, Reigns has received a bit more plaudits than he deserves at the moment from WWE, and this is probably because he hails from a family that has legendary status in the WWE. Ever since the Royal Rumble, Reigns had to live with the gruesome fact that the fans do not really like him. Roman Reigns is not who the fans want, and rightly so. His lack of ability to get the fans raving, whether it's on the mic or in the ring, has time and time again proven to be the beginning of the end for this young Samoan star. At the Rumble, WWE had to call on the assistance of The Rock, his cousin from Hollywood, the People's Champion, a legend among fans and superstars, an icon, to come to the aid of Roman Reigns, hoping to garner a little more support from the fans, but in the end, failed! I've never witnessed such disapproval from fans towards a Rumble winner since Batista last year, and that wasn't even as bad as the treatment Reigns has received! Truth be told, Reigns isn't the right man to wipe away the legacy of CM Punk, hell he isn't even able to create a legacy of his own! What we have been presented with, is a man who has been unable to entertain the fans, mostly due to the fact that he botches almost every promo he delivers week after week, telling some strange stories that I sadly can't erase from the back of my mind only because of how silly they are.  The only thing worse than Reigns at the moment, is pretty much The Great Khali, who I believe still possesses a way better entertainment value than Roman does.


With that being said, I'm looking forward to seeing the direction of the company, and also looking forward to seeing the stars continue to shine! Here's to hoping that Daniel Bryan does beat Reigns at FAST LANE!
