Why Ryback has everything to prove in his title-match against John Cena at Extreme Rules!

Lately I have not been expressing a lot of my own opinions, but now I feel its time to talk about the rising superstar known as Ryback. The former Skip Sheffield from Nexus broke his ankle on a live show in a Hawaii. Amazingly enough he actually finished that tag team match  with his ankle broken. Though his pride and mindset (not to quit) made his ankle injury go even worse, which ended with Ryback (Ryan Reeves) being out of action for 12 months.

But it was his passion and never surrender attitude which made him so popular within the WWE. Vince McMahon and Triple H was so impressed with the fact that Ryback didn't lay down even though he broke his ankle. Even though doctors said his career was over, Reeves had no intentions of quitting. He trained harder than ever and managed to return only a year after his brutal injury, but this time he returned with a new gimmick and attitude. Skip Sheffield was billed as a redneck who made jokes but still knew how to get the job done, while Ryback was billed as a machine who wanted to fight his way to the top of the food-chain.

Even though Ryback was pushed to the main event scene only 6-months after his return, he was never truly being pushed (if you know what I mean). Cena's injury in September 2012 was the reason Ryback was pushed so fast, but WWE never gave him a big win. Ryback has yet to win a PPV-match in 2013. He lost the rumble-match, he lost at elimination chamber and he lost at Wrestlemania, but he is still in the main-event scene. The only difference now is that Ryback plays a heel, and he has his eyes set on top-star John Cena.

Their match at Extreme Rules feels rushed because of the fact that Ryback has yet to prove how good he really is, but still many fans are looking foreword to their main-event match at Extreme Rules.

This is the match that will tell us if Ryback can become a true top star for the WWE. Here is some reasons why:

1) His In-Ring abilities
Just like John Cena, many hardcore fans feel that Ryback is not a good enough in-ring performer. Many say his move-set is to limited and that he can't sell his opponents moves. Though Ryback has been in some great matches both at Raw and in PPV's. At Raw he had an epic match with Antonio Cesaro which many though was his greatest so far. He also delivered at Hell In A Cell against Cm Punk, and in the triple-treat match at Survivor Series with Punk and Cena. But in my mind his best match so far was his title-match against Cm Punk at Raw earlier this year. This was a brutal ladder match where Ryback proved how good he really is.

Though this time he faces John Cena who has been known as a man who needs other great performers to make a good match (I don't think that is the case though, Cena is a great wrestler). Now its time for Ryback to prove why he should be a top star for the WWE.

2) His charisma and energy
Many feels that Ryback has shown lack of energy and charisma both in matches and on the mic. It wasn't until his promo with Mick Foley that we got to see what Ryback has to deliver for us. This promo was so great, and Foley brought the best out of Ryback. Unlike other promos before, Ryback showed a lot of charisma and passion for what he does. Can he do this in his match with Cena? Can he manage to show emotions that makes us believe this is a real and true feud?

3) His promo skills
Ryback is known as a machine not a talker. But in his feud with Cena, Ryback needs to prove that he can deliver on the mic. He did so when he cut a promo with Mick Foley, and he has been great after that. Can he keep this up, and shut up those who believes he can't talk? Time will show!

4) Can he deliver in a 20 to 30 minute long match?
This has yet to be proven. Yes Ryback has done plenty of 10 to 17 minutes matches lately, but can he deliver a great and entertaining 20 to 30 minutes match? I guess we will find out at Extreme Rules!!


I think Ryback can become a top star, he has convinced me that he can! What do you think? Express yourself with leaving a comment in the section below.

John Cena injury update! (01,05,2013)

The night before Monday Night Raw WWE announced on their homepage that John Cena suffered an injury in his ankle. Rumors went quickly that Cena's ankle injury was pretty serious. Though next night on Raw he competed in a 6-man tag team match. Even though Cena competed in the match, rumors kept going around that his injury was serious. After all Cena was just having 2 minutes of in ring action during the match. So here is the latest update on his injury:

Report
Last night doctors concluded with the fact that Cena was not injured in his ankle, but in his heel. Nothing was torn or serious, he only had a serious swelling. This means that Cena will be able to compete further down the game, but WWE will continue using his "ankle" injury as a part of the ongoing story line with Ryback.

Cena only needs to rest up for a while, and then he is back to 100% again, which is great news for the business since they already lack a lot of star power (Cm Punk resting, Undertaker done for a while and Y2J is just doing part time jobs for the company).

What do you think of this? Leave a comment.

Who should Cm Punk feud with when he returns to action?

Cm Punk was granted a "month" vacation from WWE, mostly to heal his body and to get rid of some minor injuries. As we all know, Punk has been the second biggest "full-time" performer for WWE the last couple of years. It all started with his famous "pipe-bombs" during the summer of 2011. His epic feud with Cena for the WWE championship catapulted Cm Punk to the "top-star" picture. During his year as a top-player for WWE, Punk has feuded with stars such as John Cena, The Undertaker, The Rock, Triple H and Chris Jericho. It is safe to say that WWE can not deliver a great product without their controversial star Cm Punk.

Two weeks before Wrestlemania it was reported that Punk was granted some time to rest up and gain motivation. Alongside with John Cena, Punk has carried the company trough some rather tough times. After his rise to the top in 2011, Cm Punk has had successful runs both as a heel and a face. Before his took some time of, Punk feuded with both The Rock and The Undertaker. His brilliant feud with the Undertaker will be remembered for a long time. But now Punk has been away for only three weeks (Beside one appearance on Raw), and fans are already missing him. What will he do when he returns, and who should he feud with? Here are some suggestions:

1) Triple H
At Night Of Champions in 2011, Cm Punk had an epic showdown with his boss Triple H. During their feud Triple H was running the company (Storylined though), and Punk clearly had some issues with that. Their feud was also including Kevin Nash who interfered at the end of their match. Even though Punk kicked out of two pedigrees and one "little jimmy", he ended up losing the match to Triple H. After Kevin Nash delivered a thunderous Jack Knife Powerbomb (his finisher), Triple was able to pick up the pieces and won the match after he hit a third pedigree.

After their short feud, Punk and Triple H teamed up to fight against The Awesome Truth (R Truth and The Miz). The Awesome Truth was considered the best tag team around that time, and their heel tactics left the locker room frightened. This was though a lackluster feud which ended with a victory for The Awesome Truth (At Vengeance 2011). After this feud ended, Punk and Triple H went on to feud with other stars such as Chris Jericho and The Undertaker. But their feud never got a real ending.

Punk lost the match because of outside interference. Many fans was left disappointed with the feeling that Triple H once again buried another rising star. Triple H had nothing to gain by winning their match, and it all ended up with Punk getting a scratch on his momentum.

When Cm Punk returns he should target Triple H once again. Vince's son in law should put over Punk this time! Because a possible feud between these two could end up with Triple H turning heel, while Punk could return as a top-face again. WWE is lacking top face stars after Ryback turned heel post-Wrestlemania. Only John Cena and Sheamus can be considered as top-faces now, because Randy Orton has struggled for a long time in the mid-card scene. While Daniel Bryan and Kane is stuck in the tag-team scene.

A heel Triple H would be a great path for the WWE to take. He could return occasionally feuding with rising stars, and help putting them over. Who wouldn't love to see Triple H abuse his powers, just like Vince used to do back in the days (Storyline wised). If Punk defeated Triple H short after his return, his status would catapult to new heights once again, and he would have another big-name victory on his resume.

Make this one happen!

2) Ryback
If Ryback manages to win the WWE-title from John Cena, Cm Punk could be the one who could target Ryback. Ryback would play the heel, while Punk would return as a face. This is another top-feud which never got a true ending. When Punk played the heel he never defeated Ryback cleanly. When Ryback was feuding with Punk he had another feud at the same time with The Shield. In two out of three title-matches between Ryback and Punk, The Shield interfered and attacked Ryback.

These two has proven that they can deliver some good matches with each other (Punk could deliver a five-star match with a damn chair though). If they refreshed their feud with opposite roles, this could be something that fans would love to see.

3) Brock Lesnar
Once again Punk has to return as a face if this one is going to work. This would be a top-feud including Paul Heyman. The storyline could be that both men was fighting to get Heyman for themselves. In this feud Punk could even lose and still look strong. If he lost this match, Heyman would have to turn on him, which ultimately would make him a face.

This is a match many of us would love to see. Punk has proven that he is one of few "regular" guys that can actually put up a fight against a big-man. In this case his tremendous cleverness would collide against Lesnar's brutal powers!

4) Randy Orton
This feud happened in 2011 and ended at Wrestlemania 27. But back then Cm Punk was only considered as a regular heel-star, while Orton was considered the second-biggest star of the company. Now two years later their roles are pretty much reversed. Orton is nothing more than a mid-card face, while Punk has been the companies second biggest full-time star for two years. If this feud happened, it could help Orton back to the main event scene again. Only this time Orton would have to play the heel, while Punk could return as a top face star. If Orton targeted Punk, he would ultimately be considered as a heel, because Punk has one of the biggest fan-bases within the WWE-universe.

Both men are great performers and talkers, plus they have a history. This could be a great feud for Punk to return to!

Recap of Monday Night Raw (22.04.2013)

Yours truly delivers a recap of every Raw and Smackdown from the WWE. Tonight's show featured top stars such as John Cena, Ryback, Triple H, Mick Foley, Fandango, Chris Jericho, Big E Langston, The Undertaker, Team Hell No, The Shield and Dolph Ziggler. 
Here is a detailed recap:

1) Paul Heyman cuts a promo!
Summary
Paul Heyman cuts another great promo, where he hypes the match between Lesnar and Triple H. Heymann talks shit about how coward Triple H is for not showing up (HHH sent a e-mail to Heyman, telling him he would wait one week to answer). Then HHH shows up, delivers a Pedigree and tells everyone that the match is on!

My Opinion
A great and short scene, where Heyman shows his skills and HHH cuts to the case by delivering a pedigree. Let us all hope that Lesnar takes home the win to build momentum!

2) R Truth vs Antonio Cesaro
Summary
A great and perfectly long match between Cesaro and Truth. Though once again Cesaro fells short. WWE is building Truth for a feud with Wade Barrett!

Winner
R Truth

My Opinion
This felt like a time filler. I don't like the idea that Cesaro is used in time filler spots. He is to damn good for that! Though it is good to see R Truth getting some momentum again.

3) Damion Sandow vs Brodus Clay
Summary
Short match between Clay and Sandow. Some okay spots here and there. The match ends with Sandow taking the upper ground scoring a rare victory.

Winner
Damion Sandow

My Opinion
I don't know why they are pushing this feud as much as they do. What do they have to gain by it? Not a damn thing!

4) Dolph Ziggler vs Chris Jericho (If Jericho wins he gains a spot in the triple-treat match)
Summary
What a great match. Yes we have seen it a lot of times now, but they still impresses me in the ring. This one was like some of their previously battles. One man gains some momentum, but it switches faster than weather in Alaska. Though this match had some great spots! When Y2J had the match in his palm hand, Fandango's theme hits! This distracts Jericho enough to lose the match!

Winner
Dolph Ziggler

My Opinion
Jericho had nothing to lose by putting over Ziggler. Dolph needs as many wins as possible, if WWE wants to build him as a true champion! Though this was a good match. It also helped furthering the ongoing Fandango vs Jericho feud!

5) Cody Rhodes vs Lord Tensai (Albert)
Summary
Part two of the stupid feud. This match included Albert and Rhodes. Rhodes showed some great skills and power in this match! But it ended with Tensai getting the pin and the victory for his side.

Winner
Lord Tensai

My Opinion
I don't want to talk more about this feud! Rhodes and Sandow should be top-players in my opinion, not put in lackluster feuds like this.

6) Big E Langston vs Zack Ryder
Summary
A short match, where the most fun thing that happened, was the fact that finally Big E got his own theme song. Though the match was short, and once again Ryder was buried!

Winner
Big E Langston

My Opinion
This was a okay way to build Big E Langston! But he should face players that actually matters. Ryder lost his relevancy faster than his push lasted.

7) Team Hell No and The Undertaker vs The Shield
Summary
This was without a doubt the one thing that people was most excited about before the show. And I have to say, this one really delivered. Stunning action, a lot of great spots and most importantly everyone looked as strong as they possible could do. Once again The Shield claimed glory, after Daniel Bryan failed on a diving headbutt. But man this was an epic match!

Winner
The Shield

My Opinion
What an epic match! Undertaker looked as good as ever, while Bryan and Rollins impressed the hell out of me. They delivered some fantastic spots together, making this the match of the night by far! This match also helped their ongoing feud, and now fans really looks at The Shield as a big treat!

8) Fandango vs William Regal
Summary
In one corner you have a hot prospect with the most popular theme song in history of any entertainment. In the other corner you have a European Wrestling icon in William Regal. This was a short match, but both men gained on it! Regal got to feel the spotlight in his "hometown" once again, while Fandango was made more popular than ever by the live-crowd. Though the match itself did not matter that much to anyone. It wasn't until Chris Jericho interfered after the match that things got interesting. He attack Fandango and mocked him by dancing with his partner.

Winner
Fandango

My Opinion
This was a short match, it was though the ending that mattered! This confirmed the fact that Jericho will face Fandango in one more match at Extreme Rules. THey have made us the fans feel like this is something personal. Both men are fan favorites, even though Fandango is a heel.

9) Divas Battle Royal (First contenders match for the Divas Title)
Summary
A short match which ended with Aj Lee picking up the win. As mentioned earlier, Aj Lee is the one that can help this division back on track. Expect her to take home the title later this year.

Winner
Aj Lee

My Opinion
Another time filler. Though I have to say that I believe Aj Lee and Kaitlyn can make this divas division matter again! Only time will show what happens.

10) Ryback confronts Mick Foley
Summary
This was the ending segment. First Mick Foley comes out, and cuts a short promo before he tells Ryback to come out. Ryback enters the ring to a lot of "boos". Foley cuts another promo telling Ryback that he quit himself when he went on the path he has chosen recently. Ryback replies whit another great promo. This time Ryback shows more charisma than ever before! He even manages to get the crowd to "boo" him more than any other had been before. It all heats up to a stare down between the two. Then Cena comes out and confronts Ryback. Before they start hitting on each other, The Shield comes out again. Cena walks out of the ring leaving Ryback to defend himself alone. But when The Shield attacks Ryback, Cena comes in the ring with a chair and helps him out. Ryback and Cena has another stare on each other, and it ends with Cena hitting the AA. This feud has been good so far!

My Opinion
If Ryback wins the title, I am okay with this feud! But if he turns heel and loses, then I will be pissed of! He needs to win this match.

Overall Summary
Summary
This Show has been great if you ask me. The British fans delivered like promised. It was pure magical when 15 000 strong started to hum on Fandango's theme song. But Undertaker stole the show again! He made this night feel like it meant something for us fans. Overall this was a good 7 out of 10 show!

Best match
Team Hell No and The Undertaker vs The Shield

Update on The Rock!

Last week we reported that the Rock wouldn't be having surgery until after he is done filming his movie-project "Hercules". But apparently those plans have changed the last couple of days.

The Rock had a meeting with his doctor early last week. They came to an agreement that The Rock will have to do a surgery on his injury later this week. No news on how fast he can return to in-ring action yet, but many believes The Rock will miss out this years SummerSlam, because shooting of the movie takes around 18 weeks (They start shooting in May). If he wants to combine Wrestling with his film shooting, except him to have his busiest summer in his life.

#WeWantRawLive

I am writing this article to support wrestling fans from Canada. I am from Canada myself, so therefore I thought this article would be a great thing to do!

Raw is showed live everywhere but Canada. People that live in Canada get it 15 minutes later for some reason. For an example it is on live at 8:00PM in the U.S so that is 1:00AM in the U.K but in Canada it is on 15 minutes later at 8:15PM so Canadian fans are getting spoilers on twitter and stuff. Myself and a few other wrestling fans are trying to get Raw live on television in Canada as well. This way fans from Canada can use Twitter and comment what they like about the show, without being afraid to read some spoilers!

To help us get Raw live in Canada  please tweet the hashtag #WeWantRawLive to @Thescore and here is a link right to their page.

You don't got to follow them or anything just tweet that hashtag #WeWantRawLive to them. The more the better.

Thank you very much wrestling fans for you help and support!
