Tigers, NBA Finals, Tiger and lots of wrestling stuff…
Well the Detroit Tigers had a 6-game win streak going last night but lost to the S.F. Giants in a close game. Fernando Rodney came back and Leyland foolishly put him back in a close game. They are out on the west coast for the rest of the week against the Giants and Padres. I think before the end of the month you will see the Tigers close to first again. They are playing a lot better baseball. And what Marcus Thames. He is just lighting it up. 5 Home Runs in 4 games. What else is going to happen? I would love to see him get 30 Home Runs this year. It’s very possible he could. I look foward to the rest of the week because they are going to play some good baseball.
Game six of the NBA finals is tonight and let me tell you, Boston needs to win. In my opinion now the pressure is on the Celtics. If the Lakers win tonight, all the momentum is with them. Celtics need to finish tonight or else. They are too good of team to lose to the Lakers. If they don’t win then there some serious problems. I’ll be interested to see what happens tonight.
Is Tiger Woods super human or something? How the hell did he pull of what he did on a bad knee. Rocco Mediate was fun to watch and apart of me was hoping he’d win. The other part of me was glad that he proved his dominance again. It was probably the best Golfing Ive ever watched….Good job Tiger.
Now on to wrestling. The WWE Draft is next Monday night. Three hours long and I recieved a report that John Cena is headed back to Smackdown. Weather thats true or not is beyond me. However I had heard that Batista is coming back to Raw. I cannot wait until next week because Draft time is always awesome. You all better watch next week
Here is the updated card for Night of Champions:
-WWE Championship Match
Triple H (c) vs. John Cena
-World Heavyweight Championship Match
Edge (c) vs Batista
-ECW Championship Match
Kane (c) vs. Big Show
-WWE World Tag Team Championship Match
Cody Rhodes & Hardcore Holly (c) vs. Ted DiBiase & Mystery Partner
-WWE Tag Team Championship Match
John Morrison & The Miz (c) vs. Finlay & Hornswoggle
-United States Championship Match
Matt Hardy (c) vs. Chavo Guerrero
-WWE Women’s Championship Match
Mickie James (c) vs. Katie Lea Burchill
WWE Night Of Champions will be held on June 29, 2008 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
There is only one title match left to be made and that is for Chris Jericho’s Intercontential Championship. His opponent, the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels. Or atleast that would be the obvious choice. It’s going to be a great PPV and I hope for once a few titles change hands. Last years no title changed hands.
And finally on September 9th the WWE will come out with the perfect DVD. The Life and Times of Mr. Perfect. Curt Hennig is and will always be one of my favorite wrestling. He was my favorite heel in the 90’s. My top 5 matches of Mr. Perfect are:
vs. Texas Tornado (SNME in 90, for the IC Title)
w/ Randy Savage vs. Ric Flair/Razor Ramon (Survivor Series 92)
vs. Bret Hart (Summerslam 91)
vs. Ric Flair (Monday Night Raw in 93, loser leaves town)
vs. Bret Hart (KOTR 93)
I am sure their are a lot of great Mr. Perfect matches that I didn’t mention but those for some reason are the five I like.
When I think of Mr. Perfect, I think of a character, great athlete and a great storyteller. He was one of those heels that eventually after awhile you had to cheer because he was so good. I cannot wait until the DVD comes out because it will be absolutely perfect.
Be back with an update later this week. Peace
