Randy Orton might be fired! Cole praised by locker room!

Two headlines this day. Randy Orton's second suspension has made officials in WWE question him. Is the predator going to be fired? On the other hand you have Michael Cole, who had his in ring comeback against John Cena at raw. How did that go?

Orton's fired or not?
After he was suspended for testing positive on a steroids, it seams like WWE officials has had it with the viper. Yes even though Orton and Triple H used to be good friends, it's bad for WWE that one of their top-guys testes positive for drugs, when WWE runs a strictly wellness policy. It has also been reported that there was a bad tension between Orton and the officials, which is not a good sign for the viper if he want's to maintain his job.

Anyway, most likely if Orton does not get fired, he will lose respect and status, and his reputation as a "top guy" in WWE will most likely be removed. Creatives with Linda in front will make his "superman" character a lot weaker, and Orton's superman time will most likely end. Another example of someone who lost status in WWE was The Miz, who was the top guy in WWE from October 2010 to May 2011, and only three months later he started a bad losing-streak. Now he is only a mid-card player, which is not good thinking about his amazing skills on the mic and in the ring!

I will keep you updated about Orton's status.
(Orton has about 50 days left of his suspension)

Michaels Cole praised by officials and the locker room!
Last night John Cena fought commentator Michael Cole in a No Disq- singles match. Of course Cena won the match, even though creatives did a good job (Tenzai interfered and almost cost Cena the match).

After Raw went of air, Michael Cole got praised by the locker room for his amazing effort in the match against Cena. I have to say that I was impressed of Cole taking the job so seriously!

Top 3 dream matches at WM29!


Top 3 dream Matches at WM29:
Yes, it's still 10-months to Wrestlemania 29, meaning everything being said about Mania is speculations. Anyway, just like many wrestling-fans I have my dreams about which matches I would like to see! So at Wrestlemania 29 there are 3 Matches I would love to see:

1) John Cena vs The Rock part 2!
Yeah, it might sound silly, because of the fact that their WM28 match was called a "once in a lifetime" match. But it became a successes, even though some might not liked the match (but you can never please everyone). So why do I want to see a part two of this match?
If you remember the feud between Rocky and Austin, you might remember that they had three matches at Wrestlemania, where each match became a big successes, and their feud ended up legendary.

After Mania 28, Rocky said he would return "soon", and that he dreams about winning the WWE championship again. So there you have your build up, between a possible rematch against those two. Lets just say that Cena wins the title around Survivor Series, and that he keeps it until Wrestlemania. Then Rocky can win the Royal Rumble, and chose the WWE-champion for a match. Cena and Rocky can do another great match if you ask me, and I think their feud can't end with only one big match. Who knows, it might end up with Cena losing again, finding himself with a nemesis that he "can't" beat. It would have been legendary, and I can tell you that a rematch between these two I would love to see.

2) The Undertaker vs Cm Punk!
In 2009 Cm Punk and The Undertaker had an epic feud, where Punk really got a push (even though he lost most of their matches). Today Cm Punk is the top-star of the company, having a resiliency like Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker. This Wrestlemania he kicked out of two codebreakers, and at night of champions he kicked out of one little Jimmy and two Pedigrees. So a match against Undertaker would have been epic, with a lot of kick outs and near falls. I really want to see this match, because those two has great chemistry.

3) Daniel Bryan vs Christian!
Two men with great in ring abilities, and there is only one thing to say. Their match would have been epic!! Daniel Bryan also deserves a good match at Wrestlemania!!

Cena vs Big Show feud! Who will win?


What will happen?
Cena vs Big Show at No Way Out 2012 is going to be a brawl of legendary status (If wwe can make it right), and for those who saw Raw 05.29.2012, it is quite clearly that Big Show is being portrayed as an unstoppable beast (just like Mark Henry was last portrayed last year). Meaning that this match he has against Cena would even the odds a bit more, but most likely Cena will win. Why you might wander?

Cena is the companies a-list superstar, even Big Show who is the top heel can overcome the face of the WWE. The only way Cena can lose must be because of a interference or something like that. But those who has seen the Cena/Big Show feud from 2004/2009 knows how their matches usually develops. Cena gets beat up (Like against Lesnar), but manage to overcome the unstoppable force of Big Show, ending up victorious. It's a bit bad that WWE will not allow Cena to lose cleanly against top-heels, and only against top list stars like The Rock. Randy Orton has done it sometimes now, he lost two times cleanly to Mark Henry last year, and he put himself over for Kane at Wrestlemania (props to Orton for that), but the WWE will not allow Cena to do it, as long as is not against Superstars like Rocky and Undertaker. This makes it so predictable to see how his matches are going to develop, (two days before the Cena vs Big Johnny match, i predicted on twitter that Big Show would interfere and knock out Cena). But don't blame Cena for this, blame the creative team who are afraid of let their top-star look like a "loser".

But you can never say never, I really hope that WWE lets Cena look more "human", and let him lose some times, so he can lose his superman image. It was good for him losing to The Rock, as I said before so he can lose his Superman image, so the matches his matches can be more unpredictable.

The Cena/Big Show feud has been going on since 2004, and every-time Big Show is portrayed as an heel, he ends up fighting Cena at one point! Will this be the time he overcomes Cenation? Time will show.


This weeks video-clip!
As always I give you a great clip here, this time its the match between Big Show and Cena at Wrestlemania 20, which started their feud. Enjoy their match here:

Big Show's Heel-turn might setting the stage for O'Neal returning!


After Big Show's heel-turn at Over The Limit, speculations are running high in the WWE. Was this the first stage creatives made, to set up a match between Big Show and Shaquille O'Neal at Wrestlemania 29?

The match everyone thought would happen at Wrestlemania 28, was scratched because of Big Show being a "babyface", and him feuding with Cody Rhodes. But at Over The Limit, Big Show attacked John Cena costing him the victory against "Big Johnny". This set the stage for another heel-turn for "the worlds largest athlete", most likely setting up a stage for him facing O'Neal at Mania.

Why you might wander?
If O'Neal would appear at WWE it would be as a "babyface", meaning that if he was supposed to feud with Big Show, Big Show had to be the "bad guy" between them two.

More updates about the rumors of why Big Show turned heel will come later this week.



Other news
Daniel Bryan and Cm Punk is set to face of at "No Way Out" next month. Most likely ending their feud. Fans was upset after Bryan lost the match because of a "silly" pinfall. Many said the "moral" winner of the match was Bryan, and face it he made Punk tap out. Was this a bad call by the creatives? Because everyone knows Cm Punk will win the rematch at "No Way Out", because of his a-list status, and many fans would still be upset of the result of this match.

Most likely Christian and Cody Rhodes will face of for the IC-title on smackdown before "No Way Out", so Rhodes can take the step up fighting for the WHC-title later this year.

Most likely Randy Orton or Chris Jericho will face Sheamus for the title at "No Way Out". Some fans are teasing a "heel-turn" for the viper, if he would feud against Sheamus.

WWE goes attitude era part 2?

Last couple of months watching WWE, reminds me more and more about the golden era 12-15 years ago, when both Raw and Smack-down lived their own lives.

Yes, it's still not as brutal, violent, passionate and extreme as it was back in the attitude era, but though the concept the writers are using now is much more like the concept they used back in the attitude era. By the way, for those who have been asking me, Attitude Era and The Golden Era are pretty much the same era, that's why I use both names. But over to the case, for those wandering what I meant about WWE using the same concept as back in the Attitude Era?

Back in the Attitude Era WWE used a concept that made their A-list superstars look like "working-class" men that fought their bosses. The concept also involved their superstars look like "humans" that also had to go trough hard times.  Yeah it may sounds crazy, but that was how the Attitude Era got it's successes.

Still don't believe me?

Here I give you an example
Dwayne Johnson's turn from a "mid-card" superstar over to an "a-list" superstar started when he began feuding with Vince McMahon. Vince did such a good job convincing the fans that the story-line between Rocky and himself was real, making fans go crazy each time Rocky and Vince confronted each other. Because 75 % of the WWE fans are working-classes people. Think about how many of those working-class fans that have had some issues with their "rich" bosses, and how much hate they might have to them sometimes?

Vince figured this out, and used it to the companies advantage. He put-himself and sometimes his family over for his a-list superstars, in this example Rocky. Vince portrayed himself as an "rich-ass" despicable boss, and he portrayed The Rock as a "working-class" man fighting for himself. This became a successes, because the fans lived out their "fuck up the boss" fantasies trough Rocky and other Wrestlers that had the balls tho fight their boss.

Today John Cena has never been as popular as he is at the moment, feuding with his boss John Laurinaitis. Just to state how popular Cena is at moment, in two out tree ppv-matches at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Cena has been hated by the crowd. Yes last year at Money In The Bank he fought Cm Punk who comes from Chicago, but at Mania 22 he was supposed to be the "baby-face" in his match against Triple H, but it ended up with Cena being hated by the crowd. But at Extreme Rules they loved him, and he really got the support from the fans that he deserves.

But over to the case, at the moment Cena is stated as an "mortal" human that fight his battles with the boss. First he fought Lesnar that Laurinaitis sent after him, now his going to fight Laurinaitis, Tenzai and Tenzai's manager in a handicap-match at Over The Limit.

Not only is the fans starting to support Cena again, he has also been portrayed as a human the last couple of months, and not as this "superman" that overcomes everyone. As WWE wanted, Cena's loss against Rock really made him as popular as they wanted him to be.



Conclusion
Over to the conclusion, WWE tries to bring back the concept from the Attitude Era, even though it's never going to be the same. But it might do good for the company, turning up the ratings even more and earning them more money. But as everyone else I agree to the fact that the "PG" has to end, so WWE can be more unpredictable and extreme again. Only then a "part two" of the attitude era can start.

Cena vs Lesnar, possible match of the year?


Finally WWE has gotten it,, finally Raw has some action,, finally Cena looks human. Can he redeem himself at Extreme Rules against Brock Lesnar, or will he face another loss?

It all started with Lesnar targeting Cena the day after Wrestlemania,, the feud kept going with an all out brawl between both men the following week. More and more is cheering Cena,, but once again there will be a split crowd in their match.

Many would say this might be match of the year,, because of the stipulation. Can Cena win against the brutal beast Lesnar, or will his flawless record get another scratch? If Lesnar are going to face Rock at Wrestlemania 29, he can't loose to Cena, because of the fact that Cena lost to Rocky at Wrestlemania this year..

If you ask me this will be a legendary all out brawl between two of my favorite superstars, in this extreme rules match. Their both ruthless wrestlers, who can take some pain and who are great at selling moves and finishers. Meaning they have the possibility to make this the match of the year. (Even though it's going to be hard overcoming matches like Cena vs Rock at WM28, Jericho vs CM Punk at WM28,  and Taker vs HHH at WM28)



Who should win at extreme rules between Cena and Lesnar?

Even though I'm a Cena fan, I really hope he lose against Lesnar. Why you might ask? Because in the long run Cena needs to get his "underdog" gimmick back up again, meaning that he can't defeat every a-list superstar. The story-line set for him now, is to make him look human once again. It seams like he will start feuding with GM-Johnny Boy,, and that can be awesome.. Remember the attitude era, when Rocky and Stone Cold feuded with the McMahon's? Those feuds made them fan-favorites, because every wrestling-fan loves people going up against their bosses.

If Cena really are going to be the companies face,, he can't be the "super-human" any more. He needs to show that he can be beaten, that he really is the underdog that fans will support trough good and bad-times.

Most likely Cena will win at Extreme Rules,, because the company are afraid to screw it up,, but then once again the fans will turn against Cena.. It doesn't hurt him putting himself over for Brock to, because in the long run he will gain on it..

Anyway can't wait for the match!!
