BACK WITH A BANG !

First off, yes my good people I am back after a small abscence. My internet went down and I just couldn't get to you and for that I appologise.

Now I am back, on this sunny afternoon in England, I am back to save you from the tripe that other wrestling websites put out. I will resume my mission to inform you of the truth and only the turth behind the wrestling world, whilst taking an honest look at some of the things that have been going down.

If you logged on expecting to see an Over the Limit 2012 preview and or retrospective then I'm sorry there wasn't one. I had it written up, I just couldn't deliver it to you. So instead, sometime next week we'll look at the belated going downs at Over the Limit. That will take some time. Instead, let's have a small round up of the weeks events.

Although before we get started, I think that it's worth commending WWE (yes I am praising them) for having Cena lose at Over the Limit, and then we can condem them for bringing Big Show back so quickly (you didn't expect it to last did you?). There reall was no point to that little firing of his, apart to make it look like Big Show is a useless worthless crybaby who will turn his back on his fans and the WWE Universe to save his own, ample backside.

The build up is all about No Way Out 2012 now, an old PPV WWE ressurected. It's a good idea, the Now Way Out events were always an anticipated part of WWE for years, and of course the fondest memory was of Eddie Guerrero defeating Brock Lesnar at No Way Out 2004 to become the WWE Champion.

This year though, the emphasis on inportant main events has been dialuted so much, that WWE are relying on Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio to pull in the viewers. Sorry, they won't. WWE sabotaged Del Rio so much that no one is interested in seeing him lift the gold ever again and Sheamus is so far up Triple H's backside that he see what he had for breakfast yesterday. Incredibly WWE picked Del Rio as main candidate for the feud instead of turning Randy Orton heel and making him into the hateful prick that mad eus love him in the frist place. A face Sheamus would have had a real challenge then, instead he's just going to run through a meaningless line of faceless opponennts until the fans are bored and begin booing him.

WWE are in fact begining to repeat the Shawn Michaels 1996 WWE Championship run. Where HBK took on opponent after opponent and only one of them (British Bulldog) was worth their place in the main event. If WWE carry on like this then they're going to do to the World Heavyweight Championship what they've done the Tag Team and Divas Championships. It's a very rocky road they tread now, one slip could see them plummit off the edge.

So instead of a killer main event at Now Way Out, we're stuck with John Cena vs Big Show. Both men are awful, both are talentless and anyone who remembers their soul destroying feud in 2009 will know that we never need to see this match again. Still, WWE don't have anyone else because they don't think about the long term, so Big Show it is. Will it be entertaining? No! Will I be relishing watching it? No! Sometimes I wish the T.V had a snooze button. John Cena vs Big Show matches are why WWE DVD'S are worth buying instead of watching the events live: because they have a fast foward button on them.

Chirs Jericho has been suspended for thirty days for degrading the Brazilian flag in San Paulo. Is this a legit ban or is is staged so WWE can bring in some supposedly Brazilian wrestler to exact revenge? Or in fact did Chris Jericho breach WWE'S welness policy and was suspended for that? Only time will tell.

Speaking of violations to the drug policy, Rey Mysterio has been suspened for 60 days for his second failure. For a man who has had the career Rey has had, the success, a man who had two friends, directly or indirectly killed by drugs, then you'd have thought that Rey would have been a little more sensible. Maybe it's too many bumps to the head.

Onwards and Upwards...
