15. IMO: Kevin Owens


My next edition of "IMO" is going to be Kevin Owens. There is so much for me to say about Kevin Owens, but I am going to just talk the big things in his career so far while being in NXT and recently arriving on the Main Roster. So let's get started...

Kevin Arriving In NXT: Kevin Owens signed with NXT on August 12, 2014. He had vignettes hyping up his debut starting on November 20th of 2014. Owens made his in-ring debut at NXT Takeover: R Evolution defeating CJ Parker, solidifying himself as a babyface. He would then show up later in the night to congratulate his real life best friend, Sami Zayn, on winning the NXT Championship. He would walk away with Sami, only to turn heel and brutally attack Sami Zayn. OMG YEAH. Yeah he made one of the biggest statements in NXT history, and he for sure had the biggest debut out of any superstar in NXT history.



Fastest Rising Star in NXT History: After turning on his best friend, Sami Zayn, he would then start a feud with Sami Zayn. Sami and Kevin engaged in one of the most personal feuds I have ever seen in NXT. These 2 were real life best friends and they got the opportunity to do a story with each other. And like I have said in my blog "Real life best friends and relatives always have the best feuds". And this is obvious proof of it. Kevin quickly made a huge impact by DOMINATING the NXT competition, even former NXT Champion Neville. He would then attack Zayn a second time and after this Sami said he wanted a match with Owens. Owens agreed to the match, only if the match was for the NXT Championship. Sami agreed, even though he was advised not to by NXT GM William Regal. The match was set for NXT Takeover: Rival. Owens walked away NXT Champion, need I remind you that he debuted 2 months from this exact date, to capture his first title. He won the title due to Sami not being able to go on in the match, because he had beat him so bad. The referee called off the match and Kevin won the title. I WAS NOT BELIEVING WHAT I SAW. This guy has only been here for 2 months and has already captured the biggest prize in NXT. Sami only had the belt for 2 months, and then after this Sami was out due to legit injury from the match. Kevin would just dominate after that and run through NXT like crazy. He retained his title over Finn Balor in his reign as well. Sami returned and had a rematch for the title set at NXT Takeover: Unstoppable. Kevin Owens dominated again and the result was the exact same. Kevin is proving that he is the best thing going right now and no one can stop him. He is my favorite guy in NXT and I know his future in WWE will be outstanding. But his outstanding performance didn't stop here and let's just say " U Can't See" this coming...


Main Roster Debut: Kevin made his main roster debut on the May 18th edition of Raw to answer the John Cena Open Challenge. He surprised me as well as the entire WWE Universe. I was flipping out, I remember I was eating dinner and all the sudden I hear his music and I legit dropped my fork. Yes I really did drop my fork. And he comes out like a complete bad ass. He gets in the ring and let's Cena have it. He just murdered Cena on the mic, especially when Cena "tried" to give him veteran advice. Little did Cena know that Owens has been doing this for 15 years, which is longer than Cena. He got him there. He then went on to attack Cena and stand tall with his foot on the U.S. title, raising the NXT Title. That was an explosive debut for Owens to have. Who can say they got to debut and interrupt "the guy" and take him out? Not many, if any at all. I thought that this was a one off type thing, but boy was I wrong. Kevin was set to face John Cena at Elimination Chamber. I couldn't believe it, I was completely shocked this happened. This match, I knew was fixing to make history as it did. KEVIN OWENS BEAT JOHN CENA CLEAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING..... I wanted him to win and he did. Hands down, he had the biggest debut out of any Superstar in WWE History in my eyes. His first match was on a PPV against the Face of the Company and he beat him clean in the middle of the ring. I just couldn't believe this. THIS GUY IS AWESOME!!!

Kevin Owens has such a promising career in WWE. He has done things in the amount of 1 year that some guys in the back have yet to achieve. He is a major draw to fans. He arguably can take John Cena's spot as being the next "guy". He can wrestle extremely well. He definitely proves that just because your a bigger guy, doesn't mean you cant wrestle. He was popping out moonsaults and swanton bombs off the top rope at Elimination Chamber. He knows his spots in the ring. I think WWE has a huge star here. And I don't care, but he is better than Brock Lesnar. People want to compare the two, but I don't think there is a comparison. I know now that Kevin is working main roster all summer as he soon making his full transition to main roster very soon. I honestly see him becoming world champion within a years time. The guy can cut a good promo on anyone. I wish Kevin the BEST and I KNOW he will have a legendary career. We will all see this very soon...

14. BreakDown for a "WWE Fan" or "Diva Fan"


Okay so today on Twitter there has been a lot of controversy. It has been a mess on my TL. The main issue today was diva fans. Sometimes I hate being a fan of a diva because I have to put up with stupidity. That is why I like talking about the Superstars more because there is never any animosity or arguments. But anyway, the issue today on Twitter went from "who is a better wrestler" to "shading favorites" to "realistic vs delusional". A whole bunch of stuff that has been a mess. Look I am guy, I don't have time for the drama, I am not some little kid. I simply don't have time for it and I don't tend to it. But today I am going to address the difference between being realistic and delusional. Because some are mistaking which is which sadly. I am going to treat this like a class, because clearly I am dealing children. Lol. But let's kick it off with me giving an overall impression of diva fans...

Okay I am going to open this impression with this. And if it hurts peoples feelings, I am sorry. I have told this to many people and they agree with me so... Most Diva Fans are NOT Wrestling Fans!!! Yes it is true. Most diva fans just like "their" diva and nothing else. And they only support them. Some don't even watch WWE unless their favorite is on TV. It is sad. Now we do have fans of Total Divas that like the Divas, so that is ok. But to me, if you don't watch WWE and watch everything, then you don't get to have an opinion on who is champion or what your favorite should do. Because it is like if you don't watch Raw and Smackdown, then what can you really have an opinion on? Nothing really. And I can, I am not sure about others, but I can tell who is a diva wrestling fan vs a diva fan. It is easy to tell. I know the word has been spread throughout the diva fandom, but that word Stan. If you use that, most aren't diva wrestling fans. I hate that word by the way, it makes no sense. Like I don't know where that came from, but yeah if you use that then you're questionable. If you say I am a "diva fan", then I consider you a fan of the division and a fan of wrestling. A lot of the diva fandom likes to start fights and throw shade, that is why slowly, but surely I am kind of not involving myself with them anymore. I cant deal with people who constantly want to fight and throw shade. I have conversations with wrestling fans most of the time. And I am going to keep it that way.

Now I am going to have a checklist for to see if you are a Realistic Fan or Delusional Fan...

Checklist to see if you are Realistic:
1. You can take and respect opinion
2. You admit when your favorite superstar and/or diva messes up
3. If you don't have a problem tweeting your thoughts
4. If you back it up with facts
5. If your open minded to many things

Checklist to see if you are Delusional:
1. You can't take and respect opinions
2. You never admit mistakes of your favorite superstar/diva
3. If you hesitate what you tweet (meaning you know your tweet is delusional)
4. If you start talking like your on Mars
5. If you constantly put over your favorites

Now if you meet the qualifications then you know what you are. Yes I am treating this like a classroom cause clearly some need a lesson in "WWE Fan 101". I see people on twitter all the time who cannot take constructive criticism and its sad. If you think your favorite is God's gift to WWE, then you need to stop right there. You have to mention others and give others credit. Who cares if other people shade your girls, be the MATURE one and do what you want. That's another thing, a lot of people are immature when it comes to arguments on twitter. Many should take the advice of WWE Diva Paige and that is to "Shut Up, Get Over It and Get Over Yourself". Sitting there and moaning and complaining isn't going to get you anywhere. You can come up with excuses to make others believe what you want, but at the end of the day as long as you believe it that is all that matters. People are always defending their favorites. Like why? People don't constantly need to fly in your mentions like they are on auto-pilot and add their 2 cents. If you don't agree with something, WHO CARES, just move on.

Now let me do another checklist for something else. If your Civil With People or Trouble Maker

Checklist if your Civil With People:
1. You get along with everyone, regardless of opinion
2. If you stay open minded
3. If you tweet things that are realistic and not delusional

Checklist if your a Trouble Maker:
1. If I see you constantly arguing with someone
2. If you say things on twitter that don't make sense
3. If you use the word "stan" (I hate that word, and usually the people that use it, I have noticed like starting drama. Those who say fan don't really fight with people)

Now see which one you fall under and you know what you are. Oh and another thing on twitter was "what makes a good wrestler". Clearly people need a lesson on that too.

Great Wrestler:
1. Mat Work
2. Chain Grappling
3. Technical Submissions
4. And most of all, you have to display this all the time and perfect your craft
5. Some examples are Natalya, Becky Lynch, Daniel Bryan, Tyson Kidd, to just name a few

Good Wrestler:
1. Occasional mat work
2. Occasional chain grappling
3. Rare doing technical submissions
4. Display it some times in matches
5. Some examples are Nikki Bella, Paige, Neville, Seth Rollins, to just name a few

Okay I kept this simple and short. I just needed to have people understand what is what. Of course, there are going to be some who don't agree with me, and that is fine. I was pretty open minded throughout this whole blog post. I gave several reasons under each checklist. This was meant to be funny, but at the same time I was being serious in my reasoning. Well that is all for today. I am going to upload a IMO post a little later today, so stay tuned. Thank You.

PS: If you know someone who is bias, delusional or a trouble maker, you may want to unfollow them or block them because most likely they are not going to change. Hahaha.

13. NXT Women's Division vs Main Roster Divas Division

                          THE DIVAS DIVSION VS THE NXT WOMEN'S DIVISION

So today I am here to discuss the difference between the Main Roster Divas Division and the NXT Women's Division. Now before I start I have 4 people that I asked on Twitter of "What is the main difference between the Divas Division and the NXT Women's Division?"

@OnTheRamPaige says "Booking"

@LT_Mizzou19 says "Investment in character development of the divas"

@calfkvller says "Most importantly the booking. The NXT Divas are booked like they're actually cared about. You can tell Triple H cares for his female talent. The creativity when it comes to storylines and the characters are superb."

@UnstableAJLee says "NXT Divas get more time and a bigger pop from the fans."

So that is what I am going to cover today. I am going to kind take some shots at Vince for the way he books main roster, but I will be fair in the comparison. I am not going to downplay the main roster, I am going to be realistic. I am going to cover 3 points, booking, character development, and fan reaction. So let's get started...


Booking: This is probably the biggest one out of them all. The booking down in NXT is 10/10. The girls down their have amazing booking. Ever since Paige vs Emma at NXT ArRival last year, the NXT Divas have been given free reign. Triple H runs NXT, and he takes pride in the women. He let's them have say in what they want. And he actually gives the fans what they want. The booking we have had for the women's matches on the Takeover live specials is awesome. The feuds we have had have been authentic and time worthy. That is one thing that NXT has, that WWE lacks and that is limited PPV's. NXT has 4 PPV's a year. They are usually in February, May, September, and December. I actually like this. It gives them time to build up the feuds. I remember after Charlotte won the title in May last year she then went on to feud with Bayley. This was a good, personal feud because they had history and built up the story in the amount of 4 months. Main Roster builds up stories in 1 month leading to the next ppv. Actually, lately, they have been having PPV's every 2 weeks because of the crammed ppv choice. Each episode of NXT hands out storyline progression into proceeding the feud. Another big thing with booking is the match finishes. With the women, there is rarely any cheating or screwy finishes. Even if they are a heel, they book them to win clean. At the PPV specials, I know that they never let them cheat, no matter if they are a babyface or heel. Main Roster booking lacks direction and focus. Vince doesn't know what he is doing with the main roster divas. He has been booking Divas Champion Nikki poorly. Recently, she has been booked better, but the reign as a whole has been lacking champion-like booking. Vince apparently thinks that letting her cheat is the way a champion should be booked. And this isn't the first occurrence. AJ Lee in her first reign was booked poorly as well. When she won the title she defended clean the first title defense, but then after that she cheated in every title match. And she skipped ppv title defenses, as did Nikki. I don't see why Vince thinks that it is ok to give a girl a long reign, to only have her be booked like the challenger, rather than the champion. NXT gives the divas time to showcase their talent. Triple H doesn't have them hold back anything when having the Takeover matches. I can confidently say that the women have stolen the show a few times at the Takeover live specials. I have never seen such authentic wrestling before in my life. It is just so amazing to see these women go out there and outshine the men at times. We just got off a Takeover special and it was Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch for the NXT Women's Championship AND THEY KILLED IT. They stole the show hands down. WWE Fans look more forward to NXT Takeover live specials than WWE PPV's because they know it is going to be a good show. I don't even have to second guess myself when there is a divas match on NXT, because I know it is going to be good. Vince needs to learn that he has amazing talent on the main roster, and he needs to utilize it. He also needs to realized that within the next 5 years, the main roster divas division will be NXT grown Divas. And I really don't want them to suffer the current main roster booking. I love main roster divas, I always will, but I always sit there and question their intentions. Below are every single takeover match for the divas, and each one was just amazing, such pure wrestling...

Character Development: I, at times, give WWE a break when it comes to booking. However, NXT has WWE beat when it comes to character development. These divas down there have such good characters. Let me run through them real quick. Charlotte, she is genetically superior, because she is Ric Flair's daughter. Sasha Banks, arguably the best character in the division and out of any diva right now period. Her charater is the BOSS of NXT, she uses a stamp to sign things and is very quick with her words. Becky Lynch, I like to call her the Irish Rockstar. Bayley, is that girly nerd girl on the outside, but a fighter once she steps in the ring. Alexa Bliss (my favorite), recently turned heel and is this high maintence blonde Barbie doll is what I have gathered so far. Carmella, the Staten IslandPrincess who is all about her "fame". Dana Brooke, the "total diva" who is obsessed with her physique and adds sex appeal to it. These characters are so down packed it is not even funny. They invest so much time in these characters. Sasha Banks said in a interview one time that "The character you have on tv is just an extension of yourself". I truly believe that. All these divas have characters that I truly believe are like who they are in real life with exaggeration. Main Roster divas needs to have more character development. Anytime a diva gets close to forming a complete new character it gets shot down. Alicia Fox had an amazing character brewing in her feud with Paige last year. She was like an uncomfortable crazy girl, who always threw a major fit when losing. This character was really good and fans enjoyed it. It got dropped within maybe 2 months of its start. She does the "craziness" here and there, but its random at this point. Naomi, recently turned heel, has a new character who is basically a "ghetto bad ass". No one take offense to that, that is just what I have been getting from her, and I actually like it. She has just been pushed and now is back at the bottom since Paige has taken center stage, yet again. Paige is the biggest issue. She is a true heel. Her NXT days were golden. She played the Anti-Diva and just dominated. She has that gimmick on the main roster but not really. She is quoted more as the "Diva of Tomorrow", and it is just sad. When she turned heel last summer on AJ Lee. I was so happy because I knew she was unhappy being a face. This totally flopped, she just became a mockery of AJ. She skipped and acted like that "oblivious heel". It was just not good. Vince needs to let these divas have input in what character they want, not the one he wants. Let them go out there and be who they want to be.

Fan Reaction: I am going to keep this one short and sweet. The crowd at Full Sail is amazing. They get so involved into the matches, especially the diva matches. The fans actually play into their characters as well. During the matches for the divas we have gotten:

"this is awesome"
"better than divas"(shade at main roster)
"better than Hogan"(when becky does her leg drop)
"better than Roman"(when charlotte does the spear)
"like a BOSS"(when Sasha does something unique in the ring or uses her stamp lol)

The fans think of the divas down there as must see, to where as main roster crowds think of divas as the "food time" or "piss break". It is so sad. But I don't blame them. Main roster crowds aren't invested because Vince rarely gives them something to get invested into. Main Roster TV is good and at times the divas are good. But crowds are just dumb and don't care for the women. It is sad that they cant take pride in everyone. It is what it is. But I bet if Vince would give the main roster crowds something to get invested into, they would slowly lighten up to the divas during promos and matches.

Well that is it for today. I just think Vince needs to retire honestly. When Triple H takes over, that's when we will have the WWE that we all loved and enjoyed. The WWE that got us interested in the first place. The WWE that we want. Vince has done well, but you know how people say "you grow wiser with age", well Vince doesn't. He doesn't get wiser, I think he gets worse with age. We nee Triple H because he is so fresh with creativity. That wraps up this blog, Thank You!

12. My Ideal Wrestlemania 32 Plans



Okay so today I am going to do a post on basically my ideal Mania plans. WrestleMania 32 is in Dallas, TX on April 3, 2016. I am beyond excited for this, it is in my hometown. I have never been to WrestleMania and this opportunity will be breathe taking. I am already thinking about matches that will occur. So today I am going to basically give a "Dream Card" post. I am going to go over the storylines leading up to it. From now until Mania next year. Remember this is purely opinion and just the matches I want. Okay let's get started...

WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match(Seth vs Dean vs Roman):
Okay so right now Seth Rollins is World Champion. I see him feuding with Dean into Summerslam and Dean winning the title at Summerslam. I see Dean going on to feud with someone else, I don't know who at this point. Around Royal Rumble, I want Roman to cash in his Money in the Bank contract and win the World Title. And then lets say Seth has a kayfabe injury from feuding with Dean, and he returns in February. This will set up a Triple Threat for the World Heavyweight Championship between Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose. It is a far reach but I really do think this triple threat will happen at Mania next year in some way. And I see Roman walking in and walking out as champion.

United States Championship Match (Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn):
So John Cena is the US champ. I think Kevin Owens will become the next US champion after feuding with Cena. I see Kevin dominating for months then come WrestleMania Season he faces the challenge of Sami Zayn. Sami debuts and reignites the feud between himself and Kevin. So it sets up Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn for the US Championship.

Intercontinental Championship (Finn Balor vs Bray Wyatt):
Okay so this one is kind of hard to tell. But I am going to some crazy fantasy booking right here. Our current champion is Ryback. I see Ryback just going over random heels for several months. After his title defense at Hell in a Cell, he is attacked by Bray Wyatt. Bray and Ryback have a match at Survivor Series, and Wyatt winning the title. He then goes on to give Ryback a rematch at TLC in some stipulation, retaining the belt. Then on the first Raw of the new year, Wyatt cuts a promo saying something along the lines of "I am the face of fear, and I wreak fear inside as well as within". THEN FINN BALORS MUSIC HITS. Starting up a feud between the two. They have their first match at Royal Rumble, and Wyatt cheats to retain. Then at FastLane they have a rematch and it leads to a double count out. Then at WrestleMania, they have Round 3 for the championship in a No Holds Barred match. Finn walks out the NEW Intercontinental Champion.

Triple H vs Shawn Michaels:
Yeah I know, some of you are probably shocked. But hear me out. During WrestleMania season, I want Shawn Michaels to return and say "Oh come on, this Mania is in Texas, I need one more match, I may never get this opportunity again". Then out comes Triple H, to welcome back his retired friend. Triple H does him a solid and says "yes". As Triple H leaves, HBK tells him to wait. And then Shawn proceeds to say "Well I am glad you said that, because the match I want is against.... you". OF COURSE THE CROWD POPS LOUDLY. Triple H could then say "No, I am not going to do that because I am not going to be the one to make your last match a loss". Then things could get serious. Then HBK says "Unless you are to afraid, because you know and they know, that I can run circles around you in this ring". Long story short, Triple H accepts but tells him that if he wins Shawn loses his Legends contract with WWE. And then Shawn could say "Done, and if you lose, you career is over in the ring". BOOM. That's a must see match right there. I want it to be singles match that must be won by pinfall or submission. I would have HBK win just because I think Triple H wants Shawn to be his last match and because it is time to hang it up.

Divas Championship Match (Charlotte vs Sasha Banks vs Bayley):
So currently our current champion is Nikki Bella. Of course, I am enjoying her divas title reign, but I know that nothing last forever. I was hoping for a fresh contender or for Nikki to start a feud with Brie. But as we all saw, Nikki has reignited her feud with Paige. Which I am not happy about. But that talk is for another post later. I see this ending in Paige getting the divas title at Summerslam. After Paige wins the title, someone from the crowd attacks her. And it is none other than Charlotte. Charlotte debuts and makes it clear that she wants the divas title. Paige then goes on to feud with Charlotte through Night of Champions, Hell in a Cell, and Survivor Series. Their final match is at Survivor Series, and Charlotte walks out champion. She gives a rematch to Paige at TLC in a Ladder Match, which she retains the belt. Then in the midst of all this Bayley debuts sometime in the fall and aligns with Natalya to have like a "mentor and student" type storyline. Then there is a battle royal in January, which Bayley wins. They have a match at Royal Rumble in which Charlotte wins. Bayley doesn't want to give up on the title. The next night there will be a tag match, where Bayley pins Charlotte. This sets up the rematch at FastLane. Charlotte walks out champion after hitting Bayley with the belt without the referee looking. Then the next night on Raw, Bayley comes out to cut a promo and says "Charlotte can't beat me fair and I want my fair title match", then Charlotte comes out. Charlotte claims that she is genetically superior and she is tired of lousy competition like her. Then all the sudden Sasha Banks music hits.. AHHHH. I would freak out so bad. Then Sasha can come out and just lay in on both of them in a awesome promo. She could say something along the lines of "Awww, Charlotte and Bayley, did you miss me? Look at this, its a little NXT reunion. Well I am here to rain on this parade. Bayley I have ran through you countless times and Charlotte don't forget who made you. I beat you to become NXT Women's Champion. And I have no problem doing it again with the divas title". Then this could set up a #1 contenders match between Sasha and Bayley. I want it to end in a double count out, because the two are just brawling on the outside. Then Charlotte can come out and brawl too. Then Stephanie McMahon could come out and say "Since all 3 of you seem to have a lot of pent up aggression towards one another, lets make this a Triple Threat Divas Championship match at WrestleMania". At this point I would scream loudly. I would have Sasha or Bayley walk out with the title, more preferably Bayley. Then have her go on to feud with Sasha post-mania.  

Dolph Ziggler and Tyler Breeze vs Tag Champions:
Okay I really think Tyler and Dolph would be a good team. They remind me a lot of each other as far as their look and gimmick. I think they would gel really well together. I don't know who they would face. I just want Ziggler and Breeze to walk out of Mania as champions. I think they would add an interesting light to the tag division. And it is the only title that Dolph has never held, I mean he won the world tag title with the Spirit Squad, but to me it wasn't legit.

Hideo Itami vs Daniel Bryan:
I don't know how this match would come about. Because we don't know if Daniel is going to come back. He is kind of on the fence. I want them to have a match at WrestleMania out of mutual respect. That match would be so awesome. It would be Kick City. I would have Hideo win the match because I really want all the NXT guys to be put over at Mania because I have a feeling a lot of NXT guys and girls will be at this mania.

The Rock vs Stone Cold:
This is me doing fantasy booking. I know there has been talk of having some legends at Mania having matches, and Stone Cold was among that list. I would have him face off against The Rock, just because it is such a great feud, one the best in history. I know The Rock can still go in the ring. Stone Cold is questionable. I don't know if WWE would let him wrestle, since he left because of injury. However, I would love to see this match, because it is like I am going back in time. I wouldn't mind either of them winning the match, but I feel like they'll let Stone Cold win since he is in Dallas, TX.

Undertaker vs John Cena:
I have mentioned this to many people before that I am surprised this match hasn't happened yet. Cena is the only veteran main event guy to have yet get a shot at Taker at Mania. I don't know if Taker is going to have a match. There is rumor of him facing Sting next year, but I don't want that. I think Sting is done. I think Cena can just be like "I have done it all, but there is one thing I have yet to do, and that is face the Deadman at WrestleMania". I think Taker will agree to the match. And then they have a singles match at Mania. I would, of course, have Undertaker win the match. I am not going have Taker lose twice at Mania, that would be such a huge mistake.

Randy Orton vs Cody Rhodes:
By this time, I hope Stardust is gone and Cody returns because that gimmick is a mess. I want this feud to be a continuation of their old feud a while back. The fact that their 2nd generation in the business and they want to see who is better. Orton and Rhodes have chemistry in the ring and I think this match would be really good. I would have Cody Rhodes win the match just because Orton has won several times at Mania and Cody has not many wins at all. He is actually 1-3 at Mania, so he needs this big win. And then after the match, they shake hands, showing sportsmanship.


Okay so that is 10 matches. That is usually the amount of matches on the actual card. Of course, they would have the Andre the Giant Battle Royal in the pre-show. I don't really care for that match, and it is way too hard to tell a winner for that. So these are the 10 matches I want. If I forgot one of your favorites, don't take offense. The people I didn't mention, I just don't see getting a mania match or they'll be in the battle royal. We all know things can change. This got me really excited for WrestleMania next year. I can't wait to go, it'll be so much fun! Thank You!!

11. IMO: Kaitlyn


 
I have not done a IMO post in a while. I have been so busy lately, it has been hard to get 2 posts in 1 day. But I am back to do a IMO post. And I have chosen former, I hate saying that, WWE Diva Kaitlyn. I was a huge fan of Kaitlyn, I was so supportive of her. The TX connection was so strong. I remember I went to my first WWE Event. It was a Raw on December 16, 2013. I saw her live on Superstars facing Summer Rae. She lost unfortunately, but I was so humbled to see her perform live. Little did I know she left less than a month after that, and I was so glad to see her live before she left. I have decided to do IMO posts a little different. I am not going to give a career run down, unless I have to reference it. I am going to go over certain incidents in their career and give my opinions on it. So here we go...


Her on NXT Season 3: OMG I WAS IN LOVE. The minute I laid eyes on Kaitlyn, I was sold. Then I found out she was from Houston, TX, I was sold even more since we both live in TX. I knew that she would win the Season, although Naomi and AJ Lee were legit winners as well. And on the show Aj and Kaitlyn became on-screen best friends and real life best friends. She actually won and I was so happy. I knew that I would see more of her. And she actually started her main roster career like a week later.
The Chickbusters: At first AJ and Kaitlyn teamed up to be The Chickbusters. A side note, I wanted them to form a stable with The Dudebusters, but never happened. AJ and Kaitlyn got a series of matches together feuding with Alicia, Rosa, and Tamina. This was amazing for Kaitlyn and AJ because they were getting pushed as a tag team. After that they would go on to feud with Divas of Doom (Beth and Natalya). And they would suffer losses and it would anger Kaitlyn. Actually at a Smackdown taping, Kaitlyn turned heel and joined Divas of Doom. I wished that would've happened, bit it was cut from the show. So, technically AJ and Kaitlyn were still the best of friends. AJ was starting up her crazy character and it initially involved Kaitlyn. AJ was going through a depressed state after being dumped by Daniel Bryan. Kaitlyn had tried to be there for her, but AJ wasn't having it. Kailtyn on 2 occasions tried to help out AJ and be moral support, but AJ slapped Kaitlyn in both attempts. This story was so interesting and I couldn't wait to see more. They had a one off match in 2011 on Smackdown, that AJ would win. Kind of ending the feud as Kaitlyn went on to NXT Redemption
NXT Redemption Days: This was a mess. NXT Redemption was basically for those Superstars and Divas that weren't being used on the main shows. NXT Redemption was funny at times, but more of a joke nonetheless. Kaitlyn was on NXT Redemption and she had feuds with Natalya and Maxine. The matches she had on Redemption were actually not that bad. Her and Nattie had good chemistry in the ring, as well as her and Maxine. I wanted so much more for Kaitlyn. Her talent was being wasted on this "C" show.

Road to the Divas Championship: Kaitlyn I wanted her to be a divas champion so bad. I was patiently waiting for the inevitable. Kaitlyn made her return to main roster TV at Money in the Bank 2012 competing in a 6 divas tag match, in which her team won. She would start appearing a lot more on main roster TV. She actually got a storyline with Eve to see who would be Assistant to General Manager Booker T. I was so happy that she was getting a storyline, she deserved it after that mess of NXT Redemption. Eve got the position, but Kaitlyn got something bigger in return. That following Monday on Raw there was a #1 contenders battle royal and KAITLYN WON!!!!! I was jumping up and down for this moment, I was like did that just happen. As everyone knows, it was a blessing in disguise. Eve Torres was actually suppose to win the battle royal, but she fell off the apron after Kaitlyn clotheslined her over the ropes. The reaction of Layla, Kaitlyn, and Eve was all legit, because that wasn't supposed to happen. Kaitlyn would receive a title match at Night of Champions against Layla, but got a kayfabe injury. I was so freaking mad about this because my girl was fixing to win that belt. It would eventually turn out to be good. It was revealed a few months down the line that the person who attacked her was Eve Torres, who actually replaced her at Night of Champions to go on to win the divas title. She would then feud with Eve into Hell in a Cell, Survivor Series, TLC, and all the way to January 14th, when she got her revenge. Kaitlyn, after months of trying to get the belt, finally she won the title in her hometown of Houston, TX. I WAS SO HAPPY. That night I am not going to lie, it warmed my heart. She was a perfect example of a Cinderella type ending. She had tears running down her face and it just showed the passion. She was finally champion and I couldn't have been prouder.
Divas Championship Reign: Okay Kaitlyn didn't have many title defenses on TV. I know this. Her booking for title matches was nonexistent. She did a small storyline with Tamina and they had a title match at Elimination Chamber 2013, but it was nothing big. She walked out champion. Kaitlyn was booked great as far as having matches and winning. However, in my opinion, she will go down as one of the most underrated divas champions in history. Because she was so talented and had the potential to be a great powerhouse divas champion. However, all of the lackluster title match booking came to an end...
Divas Championship Feud with AJ Lee: AHHHHH!!!! This storyline was so freaking good. In my opinion it was the feud that revived the division in a sense. Their feud gave me Trish and Lita vibes all day, as it did with many fans. AJ had random run ins with Kaitlyn from 2012-2013, and they would always end in having a catfight. But this was the first time that they had a legit storyline with each other. Kaitlyn had a secret admirer that would send her gifts and text her. Kaitlyn was completely in love. Kaitlyn was set to meet her admirer on Raw after a month and a half of being flattered. She was in the ring, and out comes Big E. Ewwwww. I was like "are you serious". I was just as confused as Kaitlyn when he came out. I couldn't believe it. But boy did they fool me and Kaitlyn. Big E showed true affection, only to drop Kaitlyn on her back as he went in to kiss her. The fans were booing and then all the sudden..... "It up, It up, It up, It up, It up, Let's Light it Up". I was like "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS". Kaitlyn was so shocked. Okay okay, I am sorry I have to recite the promo:
AJ Lee: How you feeling right now Kaitlyn. Worthless. Alone. Broken. Well that is exactly how I felt when you abandoned me. See Kaitlyn I spent the last year of my life letting men hurt me. Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, John Cena, they used me, they took advantage of me and they shattered me like glass. And where was my best friend? Chasing the divas title. But even shattered glass, if you handle it wrong can cut you pretty deep.

Kailtyn: You are crazy, you are crazy.

AJ Lee: No, no Kaitlyn I'm smart. See maybe you can beat me in here, but I can beat you up here. I used to put you on a pedestal, and now I get to shove you off and laugh as you fall all the way down. Hahaha. You're so sad. Weak. Pitiful. Face it Kaitlyn you're just trash.

Kaitlyn: *starts to cry

AJ Lee; You have no one, You have no love. no friends, none of these people give a damn about you. The only thing you have that is worth anything, is that divas title and come Sunday, you won't even have that. You're not going to like how this story ends, you are going to lose. And I am going to get everything I ever wanted. And you, you're just going to run back to whatever trailer park you crawled out of in the first place. Remote in one hand, junk food in the other giant man arm. Eating your emotions, like the worthless, pathetic, useless unlovable cow.


YES I MEMORIZED THAT PROMO. I DID NOT LOOK IT UP BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN IT LIKE 50 TIMES.

but anyways yes, Kaitlyn went on to face AJ at Payback and dropped the divas title to AJ. It goes down as one of the best, if not the best Divas Championship match I have ever seen. Kaitlyn and AJ had such great chemistry. All of their matches were good, like I always say relatives and real life best friends always have the best chemistry. AJ and Kaitlyn would go on to feud over the summer. I did not expect Kaitlyn to drop the title at Payback, I thought AJ would have her big moment at Summerslam. That would have been better honestly. But it is what it is. Kaitlyn never regained the title after this.
Slowly Fading Away: Kaitlyn after August, left WWE because of thyroid issues. She came back in October and wasn't really in a storyline, because at this time the Total Divas stars kind of took center stage. Kaitlyn was featured in the 7 on 7 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination tag match. She was put on the heel team for no reason. All the Total Divas stars were babyface, but so was Kaitlyn. So they just stuck her on the team because she isn't a part of the show basically. It was the worst worked match of 2013 by PWI. There was talent in this match, it was just not executed correctly. Kaitlyn would then go on to have random Superstars/Main Event matches. And then she made her decision.....
Kaitlyn Leaves WWE: Kaitlyn on January 8, 2014 decided to no longer be under contract with WWE. I remember I was at school on this day, you know just enjoying the day. And then one of my followers tweets something along the lines of "I wish Kaitlyn the best of luck". I immediately @ him and asked him what's up. He said check wwe.com and I saw it. I was so sad, after I saw that I did not talk to anyone all day. I was just so upset. I couldn't comprehend it. I was so sad, I couldn't believe it. Then I found out that she was going to have her last match that night on Main Event against AJ. It couldn't have been a better send off match. I watched the match and it wasn't their best match, but still good. Kailtyn lost, as I expected, because AJ was champion. After the match AJ had a "bipolar moment", she jumped and hugged Kaitlyn. All the fans knew she was breaking character and that she whispered something that no one knows. After, Kaitlyn turned around and got superkicked by Tamina. I don't think she should've been sent off like that. I wanted her to have her last match on Smackdown and have it against AJ. Same result, but after AJ gets on the mic and breaks character and gives her thoughts on her leaving. Then have Kaitlyn get on the mic and say thank you. Then I wanted them to do their "handshake" one last time and leave together.
As for now we know that Kaitlyn has her own line of women's fitness apparel called Celestial Bodiez. And it seems to be running pretty well. She did do a shoot interview, which I have on DVD and it is so good. She said she considers herself retired from WWE. However, I say that she could come back one day and I would love it. Her career was only 3 1/2 years, too short. She can always come back because Triple H said the door is always open. I wish Kailtyn the best and I miss her a lot. I have those days sometimes where I miss her a lot and I go back and watch some matches of hers. Kaitlyn to me is one of the most underrated divas in history, not the most, but definitely has a spot as one. She had so much potential, however, it was her decision to leave. I LOVE YOU KAITLYN AND I WOULD LOVE ONE LAST RUN. Thank You!!

WE LOVE YOU KAITLYN! I MISS YOU TONS! I HOPE ONE DAY YOU RETURN TO WWE!!! GOOD LUCK WITH EVERYTHING...







10. My Address to WWE Fans/ Bella Haters

Okay so this is my 10th post on my blog. And I decided to make it something monumental. I have been meaning to get something off my chest for a while when it comes to WWE Fans. Yesterday, was very eye opening with some twitter issues. The divas match from last night was what really sparked me to write this post. I engaged in many conversations last night with fans about the events from last night and that is the reason why I am writing this Address to WWE Fans...

So basically some background for those who weren't aware of the chaos from last night, let me fill you in. Basically many fans were upset about the finish of the divas match. A lot of fans didn't like the fact that The Bella Twins brought back Twin Magic. Fans were mad because they say it was done poorly and that they don't look alike. And it started a whole "war" with fans. It led to some individuals changing stats on the WWE Divas Championship page of Wikipedia and writing irrelevant things about Nikki Bella. That is basically the issue and here is why I wanted to address it in a general aspect.

Everyone out there who knows me, knows I am a huge fan of the Bella's. I came to their defense immediately. I constantly have to defend these girls, because fans want to degrade her or her reign always. After last night I realized something, I AM DONE!!! I am fixing to get brutally honest in this post, so don't be offended as I am saying "fans".

I am so sick of people finding the littlest things to complain about. This is WWE. Not everything is going to go your way. If you are mad that The Bella's cheated and used Twin Magic, GET OVER IT. Plenty of people have cheated, this isn't the first occurrence. People want to say that they don't look alike anymore. Those people are thinking about it too hard, the big picture is that they are twins and they wore the same thing. With that, they used Twin Magic and won the match. Of course, we all know the Bella's don't look alike anymore, however why do people have to constantly find something with the Bella's.

I am just going to write something small about Bella Haters. You can hate all you want, won't change the fact that she is still champion. You can call her boring. You can call her irrelevant. You can call her booking terrible. You can say she cheats too much. At the end of the day, you mention Nikki Bella more than your own favorites. So just stop it. These girls read this stuff, whether you believe it or not. Don't you think Nikki saw that Wikipedia stuff and kind of was upset. Because she wants to be booked better. How do you think it feels if someone makes fun of you for something you cannot control or eliminate. The disrespect I see for the Bella's is disgusting. And I hate it. But from now on, I am done with it. Talk all you want. Do what you want, at the end of it, you're the one that looks pathetic, childish, and immature. It just makes her stronger...
And then the fans with the Wikipedia page and changing the name to stupid stuff, let me address you too. I'm sorry that your favorite isn't champion, and mine is. Like if you have such a huge issue with Nikki Bella and the way she wins, how about you @ her and say it. That is my biggest issue, people are so fake on twitter. So quick to cast judgment, yet NONE of you would ever have the guts to say this to their face. You feel so powerful behind a computer screen and typing, yet these words would never come out of your mouth.

And then another thing. Fans out there that always want to say "_____ fans are so rude" or "____ fans are hypocritical", LIKE EVERY DAMN FAN HAS A MOMENT OF BEING RUDE OR JUDGMENTAL... It is normal. Don't sit behind a computer or phone and act like you've never said something bad about a wrestler. I am the first one to admit that I have thrown shade at AJ and Paige before. Yes I have said "AJ cant wrestle and she was shoved down our throats" and "Paige doesn't deserve to be a 3x champ right now". Was I proud to say those things? No. I meant them at the time, but not now. I have my opinions on Paige and AJ, but I keep them myself. I don't constantly throw blows at divas I don't like. I keep it to myself because I don't need a fan coming into my mentions to fight with me on it.

One last thing, FANS ARE NEVER SATISFIED. I cannot count how many people said "I am done with the division after tonight". Well if that's the way you feel then that's fine, but I don't consider you a REAL fan. I am sorry, I can't. I can't have much respect for someone who is so quick to jump ship just because something didn't go their way. Like APPRECIATE the fact that the divas were actually featured on Raw. APPRECIATE the fact that they got more than 30 seconds. APPRECIATE the fact that we have talent in the back. APPRECIATE that there is actually a storyline starting up. I am sorry, but not every girl is going to GET A CHANCE when you want them to. I know Alicia, Emma, Cameron, Summer, and Natalya deserve a chance but not every girl will get one right now. I am almost certain that these girls will get their time. But WWE Fans are the most impatient people on Twitter. Patience is a virtue. Learn it, grasp it.
My closing remarks are that WWE Fans should just be appreciative for what they are given. You can moan and complain all you want but it will not change anything. That is the one thing that I took from last night, to be appreciative. Fans need to learn to that WWE IS NOT FAIR. Stop dreading on things, you can't change. You'll wasted your time. And if you are done with the division, I either lack respect for you or you're going to be the one still checking for Smackdown spoilers. Like those same people saying that they are done with the divas, are the same people still talking about them today and still going to watch them next time. It is time for WWE Fans to love WWE again, no matter what we are given. Yes, everyone is allowed to give constructive criticism. But don't sit there and complain about things like

"Ugh they don't even look alike"
"Can Charlotte come save the division"
"This division sucks without AJ"
"I am done with this division"
"This division is garbage"
'Ugh she botches too much"

Have respect for these girls who do the best they can with what they are given. Oh and side note, I HATE THE WORD STAN. What is that? Like something made up. Like people are like "I'm a Paige Stan" like what? Is that even a word. I hate it. I'm just a WWE "FAN". All in all, I just want ALL the trash talking to stop from EVERY fanbase, and I mean EVERY fanbase. And to just simply stop BITCHING at things that are so microscopic that no one cares. I hope WWE Fans take something away from this. This wasn't me attacking anyone, as I addressed this to "fans". I just needed to get something off my chest with people.

9. Reaction to Elimination Chamber


So this is another first for my blog. So many firsts that will be happening regularly. As you can see this post is titled "Reaction to Elimination Chamber", and it is exactly that. Any time a PPV happens, that following Monday I will give my thoughts and reaction to the PPV. I give my reaction to the match performance, the result, and where I think the storyline will go from here. So let's get started...


1. Tag Team Championship Elimination Chamber Match:

Okay so this match was really good. I liked it a lot. Every team got the chance to showcase their aerial offense. I was completely surprised that the Prime Time Players were in the final 2 and I am surprised they eliminated The Ascension, who dominated the competition when they entered the chamber. New Day retained and the match was a 8/10 for me. I don't really know where the storyline will pick up from here, I see any team in this match heading to the front of the line to feud with The New Day. I most likely see the Prime Time Players or the Lucha Dragons. All in all it was a fantastic match
2. Divas Championship Match (Nikki vs Naomi vs Paige):

Let's just say I have a lot to say about this match. I may get some heat for this, but this is my blog and I have to be honest here no matter what. Okay so the match performance was alright. It wasn't the best divas title triple threat match I have seen. The Night of Champions 2014 Triple Threat Divas Title Match was way better. I didn't think the match was terrible. A lot of people were giving the match a lot of discredit, however, you cant discredit the talent in the match. There was some good spots and some not. The 2 major issues I had was some botches and calling spots. Naomi and Paige were off last night. They were just executing their moves like they usually do. There was the tower of doom miscue that Paige called the spot on, and it wasn't executed as good. Naomi and Paige are great workers, however they have a tendency to botch a lot. They just have a fast paced mentality and combine that with move placement, it doesn't look right. Nikki retained the title and I was so happy. And just a side not, she does DESERVE to be beat AJ's reign, she has worked hard for that accomplishment. I give the match a 6/10. I see Naomi and Paige going to the back of the line for this one. I see Nikki getting a new challenger soon, but I am not sure who.

3. Kevin Owens vs John Cena:

OMG there is just so much to say. I could write a page on this match, but I am going to keep it short and sweet. This match was hands down Match of the Night, in my opinion. There was just so many good spots in this match, there is just too many to list. Kevin Owens walked away with the win and I was so excited. There was no way they were going to let Kevin get defeated by John Cena. He needed this win to show that he is going to be a HUGE threat on the main roster. This match amazing from bell to bell, it honestly gets a 10/10. This match had 0 bad moments and had 0 miscues, these 2 work very well together. The storyline is obviously carrying on as WWE revealed last night during the PPV that the 2 would have a rematch at Money in the Bank. I hope they let Kevin Owens win this win, but I see WWE letting Cena win. I'll hope for the opposite.

4. Neville vs Bo Dallas:

This match I don't really have a lot to say about. I don't like any of the guys in this match, but I don't discredit their talent. The match was decent. There was no "wow" factor. It served its purpose, however, I will say this was Bo's best main roster match to date. Neville won the match. I give the match a 7/10. I don't see the storyline continuing, as we all know Neville is announced to compete in the Money in the Bank ladder match.

5. Intercontinental Championship Elimination Chamber Match:

I am sorry, but this match was such a disappointment. I expected a lot more from the competitors as far as making the match have "wow" factor. Their was so much talent in this match, it just wasn't shown. We had Dolph Ziggler in the match who we know is such an amazing worker, yet he didn't have a lot of flashy moments. Then we had King Barrett who is one of the best brawlers in WWE, and he got eliminated first. It was just not a good moments for all the talent. Ryback eventually walked away with the title and I was shocked. As well know, we saw that report that Sheamus was advertised as Intercontinental Champion for a live event in June. It ended up getting taken down by WWE, but fans were still convinced. And then Ryback pinned Sheamus and I can say I was shocked. I am glad Ryback won. He was the only superstar in this match to have never won a singles title. The match was a 5/10 for me. I think Ryback will go one to feud with Bray Wyatt honestly, but probably not. So I don't know who his next challenger.

6. WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match (Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose):

This match was pretty good. Dean and Seth always work well with each other. The match itself was good and had some good spots. Of course, The Authority played a role in this match, which I am getting tired of. Side note, I want The Authority angle to be dropped and just have Triple H and Stephanie as The Authority. But back to the match, the unexpected happened. We all expected Seth to retain, but out of no where, Dean got the pinfall victory on Seth. I, as well as everyone on twitter, was shocked. I couldn't believe this. The Authority then went to attack Dean and then Roman came out to even up the odds. Dean was celebrating as Roman entered the ring. We all thought the heel turn was coming, but no it didn't. Lilian Garcia then got on the mic and said that Dean did win the match but by DQ. So therefore, still your WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins. However, Dean still left with the title and Roman accompanied him. This match was a 8/10 for me. I see the storyline continuing between the 2 and them having a rematch at Money in the Bank.
That's it for my first ever "Reaction" post. Like I said, I will be doing these everytime there is a PPV, that next Monday. I am looking forward to Raw and I hope all of you are looking forward to it too. Thank You!
