Bleacher Report Is The Answer That Helps You Survive In This World!

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:02:15 -0400

The answer Bleacher Report is a great excuse in real life. It can help you out in a lot of situations. Let's name a few.

Honey, why didn't you take out the trash?

I was on Bleacher Report.

Why did you miss our date last night?

I was writing for Bleacher Report.

Are you avoiding me?

No, I'm just busy with Bleacher Report.

Hey where's my money? You know that you were suppose to return it today or I pop yo ass!

Oh, I'm sorry, I was writing for Bleacher Report. I would promise you the money for tomorrow, but I'm writing then too. A man has to earn cash (it's not actually paid, but he doesn't know that).

Mr. Anderson, you haven't completed any of the last 13 assignments, why?

Oh you see I wrote them as drafts on Bleacher Report, but every time for some reason Zander decided to delete.

Teacher Responds: But the last two were art assignments. Explain that.

Oh well you see I asked Zander about developing a drawing function for Bleacher Report, but he said he doesn't have time. Plus all the paper in my house was used for printing my Bleacher Report articles so I ran out. Plus the stores were closed.

Why don't you go to church anymore?

Oh you see, Sunday is my "write for Bleacher Report" day. I'm way too busy during the week to do it and Saturday is my "sleep till Sunday" day. Plus, in my dream on Saturday God told me that he doesn't mind missing just one fan. He already has around 4 billion.

Is that gum?

Yes, but you see I'm testing it for Bleacher Report. They wanted to make this the official chewing gum of Bleacher Report writers, but they wanted me to test it to see if it tastes good. So far, not bad.

Time for your medicine.

Hold on there. On Bleacher Report there is this guy called Dr. Craig and he has found a new cure for my disease. I'm suppose to write on Bleacher Report twice a week for me to stay healthy. Plus if I don't, he said he will come to the retirement home and make me do it.

Do you wanna hear a story, Billy?

I would, but I have to go write for Bleacher Report. Maybe next time, grandpa.

So why can't you wear this dress, Suzie?

Well it's very pretty (not), but I already have another dress. You see Zander is making me a dress and mailing it to me in a package. Plus he said that if I'd wear it I would move up three spots in the rankings. Pretty cool, huh?

Dave you are getting an F in writing, I suggest you start practicing writing more. Wouldn't you agree?

No, I wouldn't. You see all these Shakespeare assignments you give us are lame. You wanna see true writing, go to a website called bleacherreport.com and check out the writing there. Now that is true poetry. You can find some of mine on my profile.

Why won't you marry Cleveland?

Because mom, I'm dating Zander Freund. It's really helped me further my sports writing career! I have 23 Article Of The Days and I only wrote four articles!

How could you forget our anniversary?

Well you see I was gonna write you an article on Bleacher Report about it, but then it went down for maintenance.

Now Andrew, what do you say to Mr. Roberts about the chalk in his coffee cup?

I'm sorry, but the Wrestling CL dared me to do it and he said if I did it I would get the Syndicated Tag.

Why don't you ever come out of the basement?

Because my computer is in there and on the computer is a wonderful place called Bleacher Report.

Mom to son: Is that the same wonderful place that said any soccer mom is fucked up?

Maybe.

Why do you never leave your house?

Bleacher Report.

Looking Back At One of the Best Tag Teams of All Time: The Hardy Boyz

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 17:42:57 -0400

Hey it's Svyato hitting you up with another article. We all know that when you think of great tag teams over the years you absolutely have to have the Hardy Boyz. Jeff and Matt Hardy have always put on great tag team action.

I guess with them actually being brothers, it actually helps them in the tag division and it shows. Anyway here is my tribute to one of my favourite teams of all time.

Hardy Boyz

These two first began tag teaming with each other in 1993 in independent circuit. The two worked in many different North Carolina wrestling promotions holding the NWA 2000 Tag Team Championships and the OMEGA Tag Team titles. Yes they are all that.

At first when being signed to WWF the two Hardy brothers competed as jobbers to make other wrestlers look good in both singles and tag team action. The Hardy Boyz eventually began to rise and establish themselves as a tag team.

On an episode of Sunday Night Heat, Jeff and Matt knocked off Kaientai. After that win they were getting more and more popular especially with their stunts and high flying move set.

They started to become legitimate contenders for the tag titles when they got Michael Hayes as their manager. On June 29, 1999 on an edition of Raw is War the Hardys defeated The Acolytes to win their first-ever WWF Tag Team Titles! Sadly they lost the titles back to The Acolytes in less than a month.

Eventually they dumped Hayes as their manager and became heels. They had a brief association with Gangrel. After winning a a good number of matches against Edge and Christian, including the first-ever tag team ladder match they got the services of Terri Runnels.

On the next episode of Raw is War, both got an amazing ovation from the crowd. This feud would go on for over two years and Team Xtreme got an addition of Lita to the faction.

The name Team Xtreme really suited them because of high flying move set they used. In 2000 they were a part of many spectacular ladder and TLC matches with Edge and Christian and the Dudley Boyz.

At Wrestlemania 2000 it was a Triple Threat Tag Team Ladder Match for the Tag titles. The Dudley Boyz entered as champions and Edge and Christian walked away as champions.

At Insurrextion, The Hardy Boyz faced Edge and Christian for the titles. They did win the match, but it was by DQ so the Hardys would be left without the titles again.

At King of The Ring, The Hardys faced Edge and Christian, Too Cool, and T & A in a Four Corners Elimination Match for the tag team championships. The Hardys eliminated T & A, but were then eliminated by Edge and Christian.

At SummerSlam was the first ever TLC match for the tag team titles. It was Dudleys Vs Hardys Vs Edge and Christian. Once again we would see Edge and Christian walking away with the title.

Unforgiven would be the time for the Hardy Boyz to rise back to the top as they defeated Edge and Christian in a Steel Cage Match to win the titles for only the second time.

At No Mercy they would lose the titles to the disguised Edge and Christian, but the following night would regain them for their third reign as champions.

They would lose the titles to Right to Censor in less than a month after being assaulted by Edge and Christian.

With that the Hardy Boyz began a feud with Right to Censor and Edge and Christian. At Survivor Series the Dudley Boyz teamed up with the Hardy Boyz to knock off the combined team of Right to Censor and Edge & Christian in a elimination tag match. They were given another shot at the titles, but lost due to interference from Val Venis.

On Dec. 4 Dean Malenko defeated the Hardy Boyz "valet" Lita and retained the Light Heavyweight Championship also earning him a date with her. However on his date he received a beating from the Hardy Boyz.

This started a feud between them and Malenko and the Radicalz. The two teams fought in singles and tag action on SmackDown and Raw. The feud ended at Armageddon in a three-on-three tag match between the two groups with the Hardy Boyz losing.

On March 5, 2001, The Hardy Boyz would recapture the Tag team titles by defeating the Dudley Boyz. The next month at Wrestlemania 17 the Hardyz would have to defend those titles in another TLC Match between themselves, the Dudleyz, and Edge & Christian. The result was the same in this TLC as in the first, Edge and Christian win.

The Hardyz would recapture gold as they beat Booker T and Test for the WCW Tag Championships. They would go on to lose them to the Dudleyz. Then they would beat Booker T and Test again, but this time for the WWF Tag Team Titles.

Then they would lose them in a unification tag team title match to guess who? The Dudley Boyz. At No Mercy, they faced Acolyte Protection Agency in tag team turmoil, which they lost. At Wrestlemania 18 they competed in a four corners match for the tag titles.

It would have the champions retaining their gold. They then began feuding with newcomer Brock Lesnar and his manager Paul Heyman. At Judgment Day, the Hardyz lost to them.

The duo would slowly split as Jeff went to his single action and Matt went to his. This would not mark the end for the Hardyz however. In November 2006 on wwe.com it was announced that both Hardy brothers would be on DX's Survivor Series team.

This made the WWE Universe extremely happy! Before the Survivor Series match the Hardyz got a tune up match on ECW, where they won. Then at Survivor Series they helped DX win their match.

On November 27th the Hardyz got their first tag team title shot in fib years! They would not capitalize though as Edge and Orton got themselves disqualified on purpose to retain the titles.

The same day the Hardy Boyz sent out an open challenge to any team for ECW December to Dismember. It was accepted by the reuniting MNM. MNM would however fall victim to the Hardyz at the PPV.

At Armageddon it was the Hardyz vs MNM vs Dave Taylor & Regal vs Brain Kendrick and Paul London in a four team ladder match for the WWE Tag Team Championships.

They sparked another feud with them where Mercury was injured. On Raw Nitro and Jeff would continue feuding over the IC title while Matt and Mercury feuded on SmackDown.

The final meeting between the two was at Royal Rumble where The Hardyz won the match. Despite this, Matt and Mercury would continue feuding. Their feud would end at No Way Out. On April 2, 2007 the Hardy Boyz regained the tag team championships for a sixth time in a ten team battle royal.

After both of them lost in singles competition they retained their titles against Cade and Murdoch at Judgment Day. They would follow that up by retaining at One Night Stand against The World's Greatest Tag Team (Benjamin and Haas) in a ladder match.

The next night the Hardy Boyz would lose the titles to Murdoch and Cade. Despite a rematch at Vengeance Cade and Murdoch remained champions.

On Nov. 13, the Hardyz faced MVP and Mr. Kennedy in a match originally scheduled for SmackDown. This would be a losing effort for the Hardy Boyz as MVP got the pin on Jeff.

Then you would have to wait until 2008 WWE draft to see them reunite again. Earlier in the night Jeff was drafted to SmackDown (Matt's current brand) and joined his brother in a match against Miz and Morrison.

They lost the match and even worse was that Matt Hardy was drafted to ECW, ending the reunion for the brothers. Following that, they would reunite three more times to defeat Miz and Morrison three more times.

At 2009 Royal Rumble Matt Hardy lost in a match for the ECW Championship to Jack Swagger. This would result in him attacking his very own brother, Jeff Hardy in his WWE Championship defense.

The two would feud from there meeting at Wrestlemania, on SmackDown, and with the final meeting at Backlash. Matt Hardy won the first two meetings, but then lost the last meeting at Backlash in an I Quit Match.

As a part of the 2009 WWE draft Matt Hardy moved to Raw. This would be short lived as he would eventually get traded back to SmackDown in a 15-man deal made by Mr. Donald Trump.

On SmackDown Matt Hardy would turn back into a face and once again reunite with Jeff. However this would not last too long as Jeff fought in a Loser Leaves Town, Steel Cage match against CM Punk which he lost and was released from the company for good, thus ending the Hardy Boyz.

Then again you never know, WWE might bring him back some day.

Closing Notes

In my eyes the Hardy Boyz will always be one of the best WWE tag teams of all time. Despite Jeff's track record and despite any issues that might surround Matt, the legacy of the Hardy Brothers will live on forever!

Can John Cena Save Batista's Career?

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 21:00:32 -0400

John Cena is definitely the most overrated superstar in the WWE. Likewise, Batista is definitely the second most overrated superstar in the WWE. If both rest under the same title, then why is a Batista vs Cena feud a good one for the WWE?

I'm sure a lot of us remember how good the SummerSlam encounter between these two was. I'm sure they can do it again too. What would make this feud really good though is finally seeing Dave Batista as a heel!

As a face, he is as stale as any wrestler in the WWE. As a heel, he's got some potential. I mean, its obvious his steroid built body already gives him an intimidation factor. Plus, in his Evolution days, the man was a human destroying machine.

Everyone who stepped into the ring with this man would fear him because of his size and strengh. And if they turn him heel now, they can have that again.

Cena is also a man that needs to go heel, but I believe heel or face, Cena will still be the same.

As we all know, there is suppose to be a Ted Dibiase Vs Randy Orton feud coming up in late November. The most popular rumors are that Orton will be dropping the title belt to Cena either at Breaking Point or Hell In A Cell. People say its also going to have to do with Dibiase somehow accidentally costing him the title, hence the Dibiase vs Orton feud.

That leaves John Cena open to feud with anyone. The most popular rumor is of course, Dave Batista.

With Batista coming off an injury, the WWE will have to be careful not to relive the SummerSlam aftermath. With the aftermath of course being both men getting injured. While Cena left right away, Batista was able to pull through for a while and wrestled with an injury. He surprisingly had a great match with Chris Jericho at Cyber Sunday. Then again, Jericho can make most people look good.

Moving on.

Despite Batista being injury prone because of his steroids(medical actually), the WWE has to be aware that he can get injured at any moment. If all goes well, I do believe the WWE can pull off a terrific feud with this.

Batista is not known for having nice, long performances. He's better known for having short quality matches that people won't forget (Undertaker Vs Batista, Cena Vs Batista). See what I mean, short, but good.

Back in the day, he could put on great performances, but that was before he hit his bad years. Up to a point in 2007, he could still deliver. He had that amazing Steel Cage match with Edge, and of course, the Wrestlemania encounter with Taker. Also, another notable match was a Last Man Standing match with Undertaker where he speared him off the stage and everything collapse around them. That was the true highlight of the match.

Basically, Batista can be good at any time, but it has to be with the right person these days, and from what happened at SummerSlam, I believe John Cena is one of those people. I think it could go something like this...

After Randy Orton was screwed out of the title ( accidentally) by his Legacy members, they can start a beat down on Cena. Then Batista can come to the rescue clearing the ring of Legacy. Cena would get to his feet and offer his hand to Dave, but then Dave would stand there for a moment thinking about it and deliver a spinebuster instead. Followed by a monstrous Batista Bomb.

The next Monday Night Raw, John Cena can come out with the WWE Championship on his shoulder and ask Batista to come out and explain himself. Batista would come out telling Cena that he has returned and is ready to take back what is his (WWE Championship). This would once again end with Batista hitting the Batista Bomb on Cena.

Batista would then leave the ring being booed, which would slowly begin the change. Then in Cena's match, Batista would attack Cena with a chair. This would beat up Cena badly, and it would end with the Guest Host of Raw coming out and saying that Batista would get a match against Cena at the next PPV.

Then you could have Batista slowly turn heel by insulting the crowd, saying why he is the best, etc. He would then go from that boring old face everyone hates to that dominant heel that everyone is afraid of.

Then you could have Cena retain a few times on PPV before finally having him drop the belt to Batista.

The key thing here is when Cena retains, have him retain by disqualification. Have Batista bring a chair into the match or have Batista walk out on Cena. When Batista finally wins, have it after a title to Cena's head or something like that. This would solidify Batista's spot as a heel.

I do think this feud has promise. Cena can sometimes bring out a good wrestler in a guy. Batista has that wrestling talent in him, but at the risk of getting a big injury he tries to keep it safe. Despite Batista holding back that wrestling talent, I believe that this may help him rediscover how good he can actually be and he will hopefully enjoy it and stay good (wishful thinking).

Team Canada, Figuring Out the Goalies

As most people know one of the big backbones of a team is the goaltender. Here I'll give you a list of the Canada goalies and give you some infor and an arguement for why or why not he will get the position.

Wrestlemania 26, Who Should Win Money In The Bank?

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 20:15:55 -0400

Hey it's Svyato with a new article. Over the past years, the Money In The Bank has proved to be mid carders ticket to the main event. It has made new superstars.

How? It gives them a World Title shot, of course.

Despite most the fact that most people consider it stealing the title, and that's how it's portrayed, it has brought us some good main eventers.

Most recently we have had CM Punk win it two times in a row, cash it in and become a main eventer.

The most famous superstar to win the MITB has got to be Edge. Before he won that briefcase, he was a mid-carder who was wrestling for the IC championship on Raw, but look at him now! He is one of the best superstars in the WWE.

Anyway I'm going to give you a list of people I think would make good candidates for the Money In The Bank winner.

John Morrison: The WWE is looking for a way to push John Morrison. Giving him the MITB briefcase could do the trick. The man was pretty good in Wrestlemania 24 MITB match and by giving him the briefcase here.

Obviously, the WWE is trying to build up Morrison like the next Shawn Michaels. I'm sure everyone has noticed that. He also has great resemblance to Edge in my opinion.

Obviously those two are great superstars and if Morrison could get up to those superstars levels it would obviously be a great thing.

Cody Rhodes: As most of us know, Ted DiBiase is rumored to be leaving Legacy in late November. Obviously, next to be leaving the group after that is Cody. I even had a great storyline made up for it. Here it is...

At Wrestlemania, Cody Rhodes could win the MITB Ladder Match. Then you could show clips of how Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes are planning to invade SmackDown and take their title.

Then finally after Orton gets seriously hurt after a match (not an actual injury) Cody runs out cashing in Money In The Bank and winning the WWE title (with Orton being the WWE champ). Then you have a great feud on your hands.

Matt Hardy: Obviously, when you have a list of MITB briefcase holders, you absolutely must have Matt Hardy. Matt Hardy is arguably the better Hardy of the two and yet while Jeff is a three-time World Champion, Matt Hardy has none. The closest he has gotten is an ECW championship.

If Jeff Hardy can become a main eventer, then there is no reason Matt can't do it, either. Matt is really deserving of the strap and by all means, he should get it.

If he does, though, I think he should go heel again because he is a way better heel than face.

Kane: He has been in most of the MITB so far, but he hasn't won it yet, even though he clearly should have.

Kane is a great wrestler with great mic skills, yet he has only had one world title reign. He has been too good for too long and gotten nothing in return and I'm sick of it.

The man deserves better. You have a guy like John Cena, who has had five title reigns and yet the man is horrible.

Then again, he is the WWE cash cow, so I'm not surprised. It's just when you have a guy like Kane, who is ten times as good as him with only one world title it's like commiting a crime.

Shelton Benjamin: The greatest pure athlete in all of the WWE still does not have a World Heavyweight Championship. Sad, isn't it?

Shelton Benjamin should have had at least one world title reign by now. He has been in almost every (if not every) MITB match to date and hasn't even won one yet. Come on, WWE!

Vladimir Kozlov: The man is bound to break out and be a big superstar one day. He is the future of big men in the WWE (along with Knox). Kozlov reminds me a lot of a young Batista minus the steroids and the Russian background.

And obviously Batista has developed into one of the best superstars in the WWE (despite putting on average performances).

Point is Vladimir needs a push and now wouldn't be a really bad time. Could still delay it for a while, but I think it wouldn't be a bad time now.

Kofi Kingston- The Jamaican superstar needs a push. He is a great young athlete who puts on exciting shows every night. Now would be a good time for a push.

The man has main event potential, no questions asked. He is a one-time IC Champion, one-time US champion (current), and one-time tag champion with CM Punk.

You might as well add a World Title to the list. The man is obviously deserving and I know Dub would love to see this and I say, why not?

He has everything he needs to have for a main eventer. I would improve on his mic skills and maybe get a better finisher. Then you have got a great star.

Evan Bourne- Evan "Air" Bourne obviously needs to be thrown in here. Despite him being questioned because of his size he does have main event potential.

Despite the fact that the last "small" World Heavyweight Champion was Rey Mysterio and he only got it to kinda honour Eddie, I believe Evan Bourne can make a great World Champ.

Despite the fact that having him beat a guy like Big Show seems unbelieveable, it would still be exciting to see him doing all those high-flying moves.

Evan has every quality a good champ needs. He's got drive, mic skills, charisma, and he's great in the ring. So WWE, sign this kid up.

Honourable Mentions

I wanna give a shout out to guys who just missed the list:

Jack Swagger, The Miz, and Dolph Ziggler.

Conclusion: My top three choices for the winner at WM 26 would probably be:

1. Matt Hardy

2. Kane

3. Cody Rhodes

Somebody please mention this to the WWE!

People I Would Love to See As Guest Hosts of Raw

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 14:57:00 -0400

David Beckham: The soccer superstar would make an amazing guest host in my opinion. The LA Galaxy soccer star would make a terrific host.

Despite the fact that we would have to listen to an accent, I would love it. Plus, I think he could play in well to the Cena vs. Orton feud.

Trish Stratus: I would love to see this sexy Canadian return to the WWE again. Trish would make a great guest host and hopefully maybe we will even see her wrestle again.

50 Cent: Here's a guest host that'll make you Get up! 50 Cent would make an awesome guest host in my opinion.

Plus, 50 Cent is known for starting up trouble so maybe we can see a match between him and a WWE superstar.

Alexander Ovechkin: Ovechkin is always in a good mood. He is an outgoing type of guy. I think he could make a great guest host.

We should hear some great jokes from the man. And maybe he'll even crack a joke at Crosby's expense (smiles).

Edge: I think returning Edge as the Guest Host will give WWE a chance to hype up the future Edge vs. Jericho feud. Maybe have them confront one another and have it end with both of them ready to tear each other apart.

The Rock: Do you smell what The Rock is cooking? He's cooking up an amazing Monday Night Raw. Obviously The Rock has amazing mic skills, so it would be entertaining hearing him talk and pump up the show.

Bret Hart: I would love to see Bret Hart back again. He is arguably the best superstar in WWE history and he would make a terrific guest host. Better yet, make him GM (smiles).

Adam Sandler: With him, Raw is sure to be hysterical. Can you imagine the jokes he would crack on Orton's, Cena's, and plenty of other superstars' expense. I would love it!

Tom Brady: The Patriots starting QB should make a great guest host. Plus maybe we can see something like that woman asking Tom to get married again.

Kurt Angle: Wouldn't it be awesome to have a TNA superstar host Raw? That would has controversy written all over it. It would also be great build up to get Angle back in WWE.

Ric Flair: Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Nature Boy Ric Flair would make a terrific guest host.

And what would be even better is to have Vince come out and say that he loved what Ric did so much that he's making him the permanent GM.

Well, that's all that can come to mind right now. See ya later, Pro Wrestling section.

A Bracket to Decide the Greatest Rivalry in Sports History (Quarters)

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 08:57:03 -0400

Hey everyone, we are in the quarterfinals now. Only the best of the best rivalries moved on. So as usual let's get voting.

Bracket 1

1) Calgary Flames/Edmonton Oilers (Hockey)

The battle of Alberta is always a heated contest. Calgary and Edmonton come into each one of these games looking to destroy the other.

This rivalry has been going for a long while and is still active to this very day. And with every match we get to watch an epic battle. Calgary/Edmonton knocked off Arsenal/Man UTD in round 2.

2) Calgary Flames/Vancouver Canucks (Hockey)

Weird encounter in this bracket since it's two Flames rivalries. As we all know, the Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, and Vancouver Canucks are our Canadian teams out west. The Flames are the troublemakers or doers if you may, since there is no big Oilers/Canucks rivalry.

Anyway, when these two Northwest rivals clash, it's always a classic. Flames/Canucks gets even better when the playoffs are involved. As we have seen many epic Game 7 clashes between them. Flames/Canucks knocked off Sampras/Agassi and Spurs/Rockets in round 2.

Bracket 2

1) NY Yankees/Boston Red Sox (Baseball)

The greatest baseball rivalry in sports history is still in the contest. Over the years the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry has proven to be an epic tilt between two of the biggest teams in baseball.

Even though most New York/Boston rivalries are good, the baseball edition is without a doubt the best. Yanks/Sox knocked off Bret Hart/HBK in Round 1 and Red Wings/Avalanche in Round 2.

2) NY Giants/ Philadelphia Eagles (Football)

No description available. Eagles/Giants knocked off Broncos/Raiders in Round 2.

Bracket 3

1) Toronto Maple Leafs/Montreal Canadiens (Hockey)

Hockey fan or not, everyone knows this rivalry. The Leafs/Habs rivalry is one of the biggest rivalries in all of sports. The best days were when Toronto was still in the Western Conference (old times).

These two would always meet for the Stanley Cup. Montreal won more of those clashes, but Toronto got their fair share too. Leafs/Habs knocked off AC Milan/Inter Milan in Round 2 (Rocky sad).

vs.

2) LA Lakers/Boston Celtics (Basketball)

Arguably the greatest basketball rivalry in history. Lakers/Celtics most epic days were in the days of Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird. That was one hell of a rivalry.

The rivalry is still going strong today. Except today it's Kobe vs. Garnett. Not too bad either. LA/Boston knocked off Canada/Russia in round 2.

Bracket 4

1) Dallas Cowboys/Washington Redskins (Football)

No description available. Skins/Cowboys knocked off Barca/Madrid in round 2.

2) Chicago Cubs/St. Louis Cardinals (Baseball)

No description available. Cubs/Cards knocked off Bears/Packers in round 2.

Closing Words

(Drum roll) Let's get voting!

New Season, I Want a New Captain!

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 04:51:45 -0400

Hey it's Svyato coming in with a brand new article. With the new Premier League season I think it's time for Chelsea to have a new captain. I was always a critic when it came to John Terry. For a few years settled down, but when he missed that kick and it cost us Champions League glory I returned to critisizing him again. Today I will hit you up with an article that gives you other and better candidates than John Terry for Captain.

Tag Team Matches The World Needs to See

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 11:14:27 -0400

Hey guys. As you all know the WWE has a very stale tag division. The last great tag team champions we saw were Edge and Chris Jericho and sadly it didn't last as Edge got injured. Which forced Y2J to pair himself up with Big Show. This is a parasite situation. Big Show is getting to feed of Jericho's success. Anyways, this article will show you a few tag team matches that the world would love to see. Don't worry it's not those crap ones the WWE produces. And sorry, but no TNA tag teams. Let's get started.

The Greatest Rivalry in All of Sports: Round Two

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 05:40:01 -0400

Hey, sports fans. It's Svyato coming in with round two of the competition.

The voting for round one was kind of weak, so I hope we'll get a better turn out this time. You guys lowered it down from 32 great rivalries to only 16. In this round, the winners from the last round will be matched up from top to bottom. For example, the winner from Bracket One will face the winner from bracket 16.

Get what I'm saying? Now let's begin.

Bracket One

1) Calgary Flames/Edmonton Oilers (Hockey)

The battle of Alberta is a timeless classic. Every meeting between these two great hockey teams is always a treat for Hockey fans and any sports fans out there. This rivalry knocked off the Chris Jericho/HBK rivalry from Pro Wrestling.

2) Arsenal/Manchester United (Soccer)

For bracket 16, everyone got to write one in. No one rivalry got more than one vote, so I just picked the rivalry I thought was the best out of the write-in ones.

Bracket Two

1) New York Yankees/Boston Red Sox (Baseball)

This is without a doubt one of the favourites in the competition. Every time these teams meet, there's always some kind of heat on the field or after the game. Basically, it is an amazing rivalry that should go very far in the competition. NY Yankees/Boston Red Sox knocked off Rafael Nadal/Roger Federer in round one.

2) Detroit Red Wings/Colorado Avalanche (Hockey)

Without a doubt, this a stellar rivalry, but that doesn't mean it won in round one. In fact it, tied with Bret Hart/HBK, so this will be a three rivalry battle.

3) Bret Hart/HBK (Pro Wrestling)

The only Pro wrestling rivalry to make it to round two. As I said before, this rivalry tied with Detroit Red Wings/Colorado Avalanche. That's showing that Pro Wrestling can be great.

Bracket Three

1) Toronto Maple Leafs/Montreal Canadiens (Hockey)

This is arguably the greatest hockey rivalry EVER. This is another of those rivalries I expect to go far, as it was heated in the past and is still heated today. I especially love how Grabovski acts, with his middle finger to the Montreal crowd. Habs/Leafs knocked off Liverpool/Chelsea in round one.

2) Inter Milan/AC Milan (Soccer)

This rivalry literally splits up the town in two halves. Personally, I choose AC, but this is one of the better rivalries here, and I think it has potential, but first it has to knock off the greatest hockey rivalry in history. Inter/AC knocked off LA Dodgers/NY Yankees in round one.

Bracket Four

1) Real Madrid/FC Barcelona (Soccer)

One of the best soccer rivalries to date. Madrid/Barcelona is a clash of the Spanish giants, and it can now be known as Kaka and Ronaldo vs Messi. Sounds good, doesn't it? Madrid/Barca knocked off White Sox/Cubs in round one.

2) Washington Redskins/Dallas Cowboys (Football)

Epic football rivalry, not much more to be said. Skins/Cowboys knocked off Bulls/Pistons in round one.

Bracket Five

1) Chicago Cubs/St. Louis Cardinals (Baseball)

No description can be provided, sorry. Cubs/Cards knocked off Triple H/Shawn Michaels in round one.

2) Chicago Bears/Green Bay Packers (Football)

Heated football rivalry. One of the best, in my opinion. Bears/Packers knocked off Samoa Joe/Kurt Angle in round one.

Bracket Six

1) LA Lakers/Boston Celtics (Basketball)

Without a doubt, the greatest basketball rivalry you can find! I really loved the old days, when you had Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. Now, you have someone who is just as good in Kobe and recently, great players like Kevin Garnett. LA/Boston knocked off Packers/Vikings in round one.

2) Canada/Russia (Hockey)

An amazing international clash. These two teams are without a doubt the best when it comes to international play. Canada and Russia have met in the finals of the IIHF tournament a number of times, and the '72 series was amazing. Canada/Russia knocked off Germany/Italy in round one.

Bracket Seven

1) Denver Broncos/Oakland Raiders (Football)

No description available. Broncos/Raiders knocked off Suns/Lakers in round one.

2) NY Giants/ Philadelphia Eagles (Football)

No description available. Eagles/Giants knocked off Celtics/76ers.

Bracket Eight

1) Calgary Flames/Vancouver Canucks (Hockey)

This rivalry has nothing but hatred in it; these two teams despise each other. Every time they meet, there are plenty of fights. This is also a clash of the titans in net, with Miikka Kiprusoff vs. Roberto Luongo. Talk about great goalies. This rivalry is still alive today...and how.

2) Houston Rockets/San Antonio Spurs (Basketball)

In round one, Rockets/Spurs had a draw with Flames/Canucks, so both rivalries have moved on into this triple threat bracket.

3) Sampras/Agassi (Tennis)

This is the only tennis rivalry to advance to round two, but its victory was well deserved, despite the fact that I thought Habs/Bruins should move on. I mean, come on, the fans were fighting, but it doesn't matter what I think, it's what you said and Sampras/Agassi moves on.

Closing Notes

Have fun voting, and please, no bias.

Something's Missing: Could It Be a TNA Vs WWE Feud?

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:50:13 -0400

Weird thing how these articles ideas come. I was playing the TNA app on my Ipod Touch in career mode—where I beat Christian Cage for the TNA World Championship hence finishing it. Then right away I went to playing my Legends of Wrestlemania game on my Ipod and that's when the idea came to me.

Why not have a TNA VS WWE feud? It's alright if you want to see some of the storylines of today continue, I think this feud could kick in some time before Survivor Series.

I was thinking that like 3 or 4 weeks before Survivor Series we would see some TNA Superstars attack the superstars in the main event. More of the Raw superstars would come out to help, but it would prove pointless as the TNA superstars would still stand tall.

Then have Vince go to TNA that week looking to address those guys. The superstars would come out laughing at Vince and WWE. Vince would get so mad he would have to be excourted by security out of the arena. Then later in the night some of the Raw superstars can show up during their main event and take apart the TNA superstars.

These fights would continue until all the shows have been invaded at least once as well as been the invaders at least once. Finaly Jeff Jarrett could show up on Raw saying he's had enough and he wants to talk to Vince right now.

Vince would then come out to address Jeff and they would agree that there would be three meetings between the brands.

The first would be at Survivor Series where it would be a tradiotional 10 man Survivor Series match. Second would be at the following TNA PPV. Where it would be a Champion Vs Champion match where they can use any champion, from tag team champ to World Champ. The last meeting would be a 16 men singles tournament with some matches on TNA and some on the WWE shows.

This is how I think the showdowns will go...

Survivor Series

This is what I think Survivor Series will be like.

5 WWE Superstars: John Cena(c), Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho, and Christian Cage.

5 TNA Superstars: Kurt Angle(c), Bobby Lashley, Sting, Samoa Joe, and Suicide.

Break Down on WWE superstars chosen

I used very simple logic for this. 2 Raw superstars, 2 SmackDown superstars, and 1 ECW superstar. Then for the ones where I have two I have one face and one heel.

John Cena—Obviously Vince is going to have Cena in there. There's no logical reason for him not to have his cash cow in there.

Randy Orton—Seeing that he will probably still be the best heel on Raw, Vince will probably want him in there.

Jeff Hardy—You always need someone to light up the show and Jeff's extreme stunts will do the trick.

Chris Jericho—Can't leave your best WWE superstar out of the mix, now can you?

Christian—Seeing that he's a former TNA superstar and he will probably be ECW champ at the time expect him to be in there.

Break Down on TNA Superstars Used

For TNA I just took one guy and the guy I thought he would be feuding with at the time. And then I wanted to have one guy who totally doesn't get in the mix (for the laugh).

Kurt Angle—Angle will still probably hold the TNA World Title so that's why he'll be captain.

Lashley—Hey. You always need an enforcer and Lashley is your guy.

Sting—Do I even have to explain?

Samoa Joe—He'll probably be feuding with Sting at the time so he will be put on the team to see if they can work together.

Suicide—Hardy's counter part.

Match Break Down

Angle pins Christian. (TNA 5, WWE 4)

Orton pins Joe. (TNA 4, WWE 4)

Lashley pins Orton. (TNA 4, WWE 3)

Lashley pins Cena. (TNA 4, WWE 2)

Jericho pins Sting. (TNA 3, WWE 2)

Angle pins Jericho. (TNA 3, WWE 1)

Jeff Hardy pins Suicide. (TNA 2, WWE 1)

Jeff Hardy pins Angle. (TNA 1, WWE 1)

Jeff Hardy pins Lashley. (TNA 0, WWE 1)

And WWE would take Round 1 on home turf.

Fina Resolution: Champion Vs Champion

First off the champions...

WWE

Cena (WWE), Jeff Hardy (World), Kofi Kingston (US), Dolph Ziggler (IC), Jericho and Big Show (Tag Champs), Chrisitian (ECW), Mickie James (Divas), McCool (Women)

TNA

Angle (World), Foley (Legends), Beer Money Inc (Tag), Suicide (X), Angelina Love (Knockouts)

Looking at those champions I think it's clear the match will be Mickie James Vs Angelina Love. Nah, just kidding folks. It will without a doubt be Cena Vs Angle. To play along to the storyline it will be Angle defeating Cena to make it one win for TNA and one win for WWE.

16 Man Tournament

I believe the tournament will be something like this...

Round 1

Batista (WWE)

Angle (TNA)

------------------------------

Jeff Hardy (WWE)

Samoa Joe (TNA)

-------------------------------

Lashley (TNA)

Orton (WWE)

-------------------------------

Chris Jericho (WWE)

Sting (TNA)

--------------------------------

Cena (WWE)

Mick Foley (TNA)

--------------------------------

Christian (WWE)

Matt Morgan (TNA)

--------------------------------

CM Punk (WWE)

Kevin Nash (TNA)

---------------------------------

John Morrison (WWE)

Booker T (TNA)

Just throwing some names out there.

Round 2

Angle Vs Hardy

Lashley Vs Jericho

Cena Vs Matt Morgan

CM Punk Vs Booker T

As you can see there is no situation where there's TNA VS TNA or WWE VS WWE.

Round 3

Angle Vs Jericho

Cena Vs Booker T

Damn how'd Booker get there?

Final

Cena Vs Angle

What a shock (laugh).

For the final I believe it will all break down with TNA and WWE superstars coming out of the locker rooms fighting their lives out. This will distract both Cena and Angle for some time, then Cena will finaly get back to business for the match. He will stack Angle until he turns around. Then Cena will hit the Attitude Adjustment and get the cover to make WWE the winners.

Well that's just my view on it. It could go a whole lot differently, but the only thing that matters is that this does happen!

Svyato out!

It's Chelsea's Year! Time for the Blues to Be Premier League Champions

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 07:03:47 -0400

I'm calling it right now. Chelsea are this year's English Premier League Champions!

Bold? Probably. But is it correct? Maybe. There are some big reasons they will be the champs. Here are a few...

Chelsea's Secret Weapon, Petr Cech

Well, he isn't exactly a secret weapon because I'm sure everyone is aware of how good the man truly is, but I think this season he will be the key to Chelsea's success.

Petr Cech is arguably the best goalkeeper in football today. He is the man that helped Chelsea secure the penalty shootout victory in the FA Community Shield match against Manchester United.

He has been Chelsea's backbone for quite some time. This season is his big opportunity to shine.

With Manchester United losing key players like Cristiano Ronaldo, their All-Star goalie Edwin Van Der Sar (through injury), and some others, it gives teams like Chelsea and Liverpool a chance to overtake them this season.

Then the question becomes: Will it be Chelsea or Liverpool? Short answer: Chelsea. Why? Petr Cech.

Simple as that. It will be Cech who helps Chelsea get that title. How? By keeping up the stellar goal-tending. This man will keep them at the No. 1 spot by stopping all the great strikers, midfielders, and defenders in the Premier League. Now, obviously he won't save every shot, but he will save a good percent of them.

Great Offensive Skills

When you have strikers like Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba upfront you are bound to score goals. Anelka and Drogba are both phenomenal strikers. These two men capitalize when needed. They are two of the best strikers in the league and throughout the world. However, they'll need to be at their best if Chelsea want to win the title.

Chelsea also have great midfielders that can put the ball in the back of the net, like Frank Lampard and Michael Ballack These guys are phenomenal and they get the job done. Especially Frank, who is a guy you can always expect to score.

They also have defenders who can score. Take Ricardo Carvalho, who stepped up and put it in the back of the net just last game.

Other Talent

Chelsea's players are all phenomenal at the positions they play. Chelsea will need them to be at their best, though, as I have mentioned before. They will need the defenders defending, the midfielders mid-fielding (laughs), the strikers striking, and the goalkeeper goalkeeping.

Final Notes

Basically Chelsea are an extremely talented squad who can, and should, take the title this year.

Projected Top 5

1. Chelsea

2. Liverpool

3. Manchester United

4. Arsenal

5. Everton

Pro Wrestling Lessons for Dummies

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 04:20:13 -0400

What's up, it's Svyato coming in with a new article. Today, I will teach you some important lessons about Pro Wrestling.

When they say don't try this, they mean it!

Lesson No. 1, when they say don't try this at home, school, etc. They aren't kidding around. I remember when I was younger, I was wrestling with one of my friends and I hit him with a Pedigree.

He was down on the ground for close to 20 minutes. Luckily no teachers saw, that time. I said to myself that I wouldn't do it again!

Two or three weeks later, this one kid was pissing me off so I hit him with an RKO. Dude was down for only ten minutes, but a teacher managed to catch me anyway. I had a long chat with the principle.

When I came out the kid was there saying, "Haha, you got in trouble." And what did I do? I hit him with a Spear of course. Sadly I had bad timing because that's when the principle came out saying to one of his secretaries I believe that I learned my lesson.

Basically, I got detention for a while. Once again I said not to do it again.

They say actions speak louder than words. This is true because I would go on using moves like Choke Slam, Spinebuster, Death Valley Driver, and Walls of Jericho on people. I got to know the principals well.

So what I'm trying to say, is don't try this folks, because one day it might happen that you screw up the move and put the person in the hospital, where you are forced to pay their medical bill.

Don't do Wrestling Entrances At School!

Sounds stupid, doesn't it? Well tell that to these unfortunate souls...

The teacher was calling names (morning check on who's here and who isn't). She called my friends name and he wasn't there. She marked him absent and moved on, but mere seconds later the lights went out.

All of the sudden the Undertaker's music came on and he sneaked into the class. When one of the girls got the lights, he was in his seat. He said, "Sorry, I'm late."

He would be the sorry one, though. The teacher took away his Blackberry (played the Taker music) and gave him detention for a month. Poor guy.

Then there's the guy that did the Batista entrance in class where he does the thing when he bends down. He got embarrassed so bad.

This one girl came up to him and asked him what he was doing. He told her he was doing Batista's entrance. She replied that she thought he was shooting cum out of his pants. He never did it again.

Then there's the guy who did the Cena entrance into the halls. He was walking around saying, "I'm so gangsta!" He would get trashed for a week.

Basically don't embarrass yourself by doing wrestling entrances in schools, clubs, or anywhere in general besides the wrestling ring.

Wrestling Your Pet Gerbils

One crazy summer day one of my pals brought over his pet gerbil to my house. I would like to inform you this was when we were younger, much younger.

I too had a gerbil. We thought it would be cool to wrestle them. He had a female gerbil while a had a male one.

The problem was I thought his was a guy and he thought mine was a girl. Well, we set them free, and they were doing some stuff we assumed was fighting.

Then my mom came in and asked what we were doing. We answered wrestling our gerbils. She looked puzzled and she asked my friend what sex his gerbil was. He told her female, followed by a quick why. My mom said, "Because I don't think they are fighting."

I took us a few moments to get it, but when we did I told him to take his gerbil out of there immediately. Since that day I have had many pet gerbils, but I haven't had any of them "wrestle" another gerbil again, EVER!

Mistaking People On The Streets For Wrestlers

I bet this has happened to you a few times. You may have seen a guy on the street who you thought was HBK, Jericho, Undertaker, Kane, or anyone else and you were wrong.

Well this is becoming a very serious issue. It has happened to me as well where I see a guy who I think is a WWE superstar, but later I am wrong.

One day I was coming home from the basketball nets across the street(there's a shock) and I saw a guy with long blonde hair and fairly built. I thought it was Edge. I went up to the guy and tapped his shoulder while telling him, "excuse me Edge."

When he turned around it wasn't Edge it was some weird guy with a wig. He asked me what the hell did I want. I told him I thought he was Edge. He told me to get lost.

I said to him well maybe I should kick your ass first (I got slightly pissed at him for using an aggressive approach). He's like get lost or I call the cops. I left.

Unfortunately, this would happen to me again. I was walking home and I saw a woman in car who looked like Trish Stratus.

I ran after the car until the lights where the car finally stopped. I looked at the woman and there was no way that was Trish. Once again I had been a victim of the look alikes.

There's also a story with Christian, but I rather not get into that one.

Basically, what I'm saying is you probably aren't going to see a pro wrestler just like that, but you can keep dreaming if you like.

There's Only one Sexy Boy

This is the most important lesson you must learn. Anybody who doesn't learn it shall pay the consequences.

If you go around proclaiming you're a sexy boy, you're seriously gonna pay. For a few days you will probably see that nothing has happened, so you will keep on doing it.

Then one day you wake up and you get hit by a killer Sweet Chin Music from Shawn Michaels, because Shawn knows there is only one Sexy Boy.

Note: Doesn't apply to girls.

If you follow these five easy rules you shall be alright, but if you don't follow one, just one...your life will be a disaster! So please, to ensure your safety and the safety of others, follow these five easy rules.

Cena Vs Orton: SummerSlam Preview

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 08:26:47 -0400

First off before I start the preview I just wanna say something, "Again!?" Now that that's out of the way I can start.

The Superstars

Introducing first, he is the WWE Champion, The Viper, Randy Orton. What can you say about Randy? Perhaps that he's one of the best superstars in the WWE.

You may also say that he is a guy much more talented that Cena. You may say that he is a tad overhyped. Well despite whatever you say, the man is good. He brings it night in and night out and strikes all of his victims with that RKO.

He is also a man who likes to put people out of action by punting them in the head and hopefully that's what he will do to John Cena. Despite the fact that Orton's opponent is as boring as you can get, I expect Randy to still make this guy look good.

I mean he's Orton, he could probably make the Great Khali look like a decent wrestler. Basically, the man is good.

In the other corner. He is the kiddies champion, the man I and the rest of the Pro Wrestling section detest with the exception of some kids, teenage girls and Dan Telek...John Cena.

Cena, where do i begin? His finisher is just a Death Valley Driver renamed. All he knows are like five moves. He's a terrible actor, rapper and wrestler. He's the WWE's money bag, a corporate puppet and so much more.

The only good thing about him is he can work the mic. Cena you are lucky you have Orton as an opponent. He might actually make you look good.

Match Quality

Out of five stars I'd give it as low as 3.5 and as high as 4. Sorry, but a match with Cena just can't be that high. Orton does have the power to make him look good though so maybe it'll at least be a four-star match.

One of their previous meetings, can't remember which one, was actually pretty good. So this match has some potential. I just don't feel it should've been made the main event.

I think CM Punk and Jeff Hardy should have that title, especially considering how good their feud is looking. Anyway back to Orton and Cena.

The match is a WWE championship event, but I don't think it's quite up to standard. But hell, we've had worse(which also feature Cena, none with Orton sorry, well maybe some with him and Batista or Triple H).

Anyway I beg John to try his hardest, so I don't change the channel in the first five minutes. Also beg the WWE don't have him do something like kickout of the RKO because that's a load of bull****. Expect this to be a 25-30 minute match (of boredom).

How It'll Work Out

Here's a short summary of what I think the match will go:

Orton starts off dominating Cena in the early going.

Then Cena "somehow" comes back.

He delivers the signature move Five Knuckle Shuffle.

Cena then locks in the STF.

Orton manages to get out of it.

Orton starts fighting back.

Notable thing hit by Orton during that time are: DDT, Jumping stomp, and a BIG slap to Cena's face (that just satisfies the soul).

Just when Orton goes for the RKO, Cena catches him and slams him.

He then waits for him to get up and he hits the Attitude Adjustment.

He pins Orton for the 1, 2, 3.

Ladies and gentleman it disappoints me to tell you this, but here is your new WWE Champion, John Cena.

That is how I think the match will play out (sadly). Also Chedda, don't take my hate for Cena personally. I just can't stand the guy!

Chris Jericho Should Be the One to End the Undertaker's Streak at WM

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 13:09:11 -0400

Hey it's Svyato here and I am ready to give you my thoughts on the greaetest streak in sports entertainment.

Of course, I am talking about the Undertaker's undefeated streak at Wrestlemania. Last night I had a great storyline for how Jericho could end the streak.

As I deliver this article I ask you to remember that Jericho is a man who deserves this right and I ask 'Taker fans not to flag this article as offensive (laugh).

Chris Jericho: what can you say about the man?

The 12-year olds will say: He sucks, Cena kicked his ass.

Most intelligent people would say he is the best in the WWE (praise them).

Most people that don't know WWE would ask: Who is that?

Despite what anyone says, Chris Jericho is a one of a kind. He is quite possibly the best technical wrestler in WWE history. The man was the first-ever Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion.

He holds the record for the most IC championships (9). He has unmasked the Luchador, Rey Mysterio.

Chris Jericho has done so much and helped the WWE benefit from it, but somehow this man is still underrated when it comes to the top wrestlers of all time.

So I think adding an accomplishment like beating the Undertaker at Wrestlemania would really solidify his legend.

I was thinking on how they could start a feud with these guys some time before Wrestlemania. Maybe before the Rumble or No Way Out. It could play out either way.

Possibility 1

Have them start the feud sometime before the Rumble and give them a match at the PPV with Undertaker winning. Then at No Way Out have Jericho defeat Taker to even it up at one a piece.

Then the next night you could have Undertaker or Jericho (doesn't really matter which one) come out saying that they've settled nothing and their feud should be decided by who wins at Wrestlemania 26.

Have the other agree and then just provide great build up until 'Mania (with these two I don't think that's an issue).

Think about this: if HBK and Undertaker provided such an epic encounter, think what these two can do! It's amazing!

Then at 'Mania you have Jericho beat Undertaker, and then have Undertaker pick up a mic and get ready to have him announce something to the crowd.

Undertaker would announce something like...

"I've always shown what the Undertaker is all about at Wrestlemania. No one has ever been able to handle it, until now."

*Walks around the ring for a little bit.*

"I have decided that I'm officially retiring, right now!"

It would be the perfect reason, and Undertaker is suppose to be retiring in 2010 anyway. So it could work out.

Possibility 2

You could also start the feud some time before No Way Out and have them face each other in a Steel Cage Match at the PPV.

You could have one of them climbing out of the cage and one walking out at the same time and have them outside the cage at the exact same time for a draw.

The next night, one of them comes out saying they demand a rematch to prove that they are better than the other. The other accepts the match for Wrestlemania.

Then it's basically the same thing. You have Chris win and 'Taker retire.

Now you might say, "Chris shouldn't end the streak, my favourite wrestler _________(fill in blank) should!"

Well my response would be that Chris is better than _________ (fill in blank). I would also really bring up Chris is among the all-time best wrestlers (again).

He is truly one of the best, and despite that he's still not considered to be up there.

When you think best wrestler of all time, you think: Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan (barfs), etc. You might think Jericho, but you will never truly consider him the best.

Now tell me if you add an accomplishment like this onto his resume your opinion won't change at least a bit won't it? Especially if it's the stellar match I expect it to be!

Now when anyone asks you...

Who do you think should end the streak? You can answer...

CHRIS JERICHO!!!

Why? Because he is the best in the world at what he does and everyone knows it! Well except for the kiddies. For them it's Cena, but they know nothing yet, no offense.

Some of you may also say that the streak should never end! My answer to that...

All good things have to come to an end.

This is Svyato signing out!

Rumors For WWE's Night Of Champions

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 13:35:34 -0400

Hey it's Svyato. I'm currently on Vacation, but since I have a computer here I decided to inform you guys on some rumors I had heard.

Rumor No. 1

If you hate Batista brace yourself!

There have been some rumors around Batista's return. One suggested that he would be returning at Night Of Champions to interfere with the WWE Championship Match. There are two variations to this though.

One suggests that Batista would come back and help Triple H capture the WWE Championship. Despite what Orton did to Dave, he would not feud with Randy, but instead Triple H. On Monday Night Raw as Triple h is celebrating he would say he has to thanks Dave for the assist.

Batista would then come out saying that since he is the one who helped him win the title he should get the first shot at it. Orton would come out telling Dave that he has a rematch and he is planning to use it, but then the guest host (Shaq, I believe) would come out.

He would tell Randy that there will be a No. 1 contender's match between Orton and Batista that night. Batista would go on to win later in the night as Orton would get DQ.

Important Note: This would mean that Dave Batista would finaly go heel.

Other rumor suggests that he interferes with the match destroying Cena and Triple H and helping Orton win. The next night Orton would come out addressing Dave and telling him he has finaly made the right choice by joining him.

Batista would then come out telling Orton that he did that because he wants his shot at the title. Triple H would come out arguing with Dave that it should be him competing for the title and not Batista and that results in a No. 1 contenders match between those two. Dave would win and go on to face Randy.

Note: In this feud Batista would stay face.

My Thoughts

I beg WWE not to bring Dave back yet. I do not want him coming back one night and looking like a million bucks only to have him look like a piece a crap the next. I hope WWE lets Batista go through a lot of training before he can come back and compete again. And if he gets injured again(3-4 months after the return) I will officially join the Batista haters on B/R.

Rumor No. 2

The second rumor is surrouding the hot topic of Jericho's tag partner. When I first heard that it could be Undertaker or HBK tagging up with Chris I doubted it. But since I do consider myself B/R's and the world's biggest Jericho fan I decide to look into it.

First things first, both Undertaker and HBK have been cleared to compete so this makes the possibility more realistic.

Second of all there have also been rumors on Vince's desire to return Undertaker as a heel to the WWE and tagging him up with the biggest heel in all of WWE is probably the best way.

It has also been said that vince wants another big shocker at Night of Champions and having HBK and Jericho on the same side would be as big as you can get. Plus WWE is looking to refresh the tag division and is there a better way than having Jericho (possibly the best man in the business) tag up with amazing talent such as Undertaker or HBK would do the thing.

So now that the possibility is there I decided to look in to the big question...

Which one would it be?

After I was done I came to the conclusion that it would be Undertaker coming back and joining Jericho.

I could've been either way, but some hard facts led me to believe it would be Undertaker and not HBK. Why?

First I do not think Vince will allow the Champions to be divided on two different brands which means it can't be HBK.

Second of all Undertaker is suppose to be fully recovered while HBK is said to be still working out a few stuff. Another thing is that Undertaker is suppose to be retiring in 2010. Vince was quoted saying, "I wanna do big things with this man before he leaves." So that would be yet another reason why it would more likely be Undertaker.

The big one is that his medics released a statement saying that he may need time off from the singles division and honestly I do not think HBK needs time off from anything, he's HBK.

Last, but not least why would you have a guy who is possibly the most beloved by the fans turn heel. HBK is a big cash cow and if he goes heel his populairity with the younger audience will likely go down and I am more than sure that WWE will not want that happening.

After my research I have come to the conclusion that it will be Undertaker and Jericho vs. Legacy this Sunday.

My Thoughts

Even though I am tremendously depressed that a greay team like Jericho and Edge was ended because of an injury, I believe Undertaker and Jericho will be a good substitute.

These are both tremendous performers and both are men that can worl the mic. And I was thinking that after Edge and Jericho would lose the belts they could feud with each other. I believe they can do the same with these two.

Svyato out. Hope you are all enjoying your summers!

Pro Wrestling's Top Stables, Chapter 1: Evolution

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:38:54 -0400

Hey this is Svyato, starting a brand new series on some of the top stables in Pro Wrestling history; and is there a better way to start then with the group that was Evolution? Here is Chapter One of this brand new series!

Chapter 1: Evolution

This was one of the best, if not the best group in the WWE history. It was all the WWE could ask for. It was called Evolution. The reasoning behind the name is unknown, but I have a pretty good idea why it was called what it was called. Evolution had a great veteran talent in Ric Flair, a great talent of the present in Triple H, and it also had two great young talents in Dave Batista and Randy Orton. Young and old, see something? If not, that's alright.

Evolution was a group that made Raw unbearable for anyone that would dare challenge them. At a point, they had control of all of Raw's belts with Triple H holding the World Heavyweight Championship, Randy Orton holding the Intercontinental Championship, and Batista and Flair holding the World Tag Team Championships. They were truly a force to be reckoned with.

This group was first started at Unforgiven when Triple H defended his World Title against Rob Van Dam. During the match, Flair came down, taking a sledgehammer from Triple H. At first Flair was teasing Triple H, but in the end he struck Rob Van Dam with it, allowing Triple H to retain the title. That day Flair became Triple H's manager.

The next to join the group was one Dave Batista. When Batista came over to Raw from SmackDown, he took Flair as a manager, which was kinda his ticket into the group. When Triple H's feud with Scott Steiner started Flair, Batista, and another in the name of Randy Orton were all there to help Triple H. The group officially became a stable on February 3, 2003 and it took the name of Evolution.

Many dared to challenge Evolution, but practically all left bruised. After Randy Orton was injured in Febuary of 2003, he returned as a masked man who attacked HBK and Kevin Nash. This was when Triple H faced them in a Two-on-One Handicap match. He then took off the mask and returned to the group. Batista returned on October 20.

Challengers to Evolution included: Goldberg, HBK, Rob Van Dam, and others. Here are some of the attempts to bring down Evolution:

At Bad Blood, Evolution showed their dominance and defeated their enemies. Flair defeated Shawn Michaels after Orton hit Michaels with a chair. Later that night Triple H destroyed Kevin Nash in the Hell In A Cell to retain his title.

At Unforgiven, Evolution had a mixed night. Randy Orton, who was the developing a Legend Killer, really backed the new gimmick up as he defeated Shawn Michaels. Evolution's success would not continue when Triple H defended his World Title against Bill Goldberg. Despite outside interference from the rest of Evolution, Triple H lost his World Title to Goldberg.

With Triple H mad at Goldberg he offered a $100,000 reward to anyone who could take out Goldberg. A returning Batista would be the man to claim the reward as he destroyed Goldberg and re-joined Evolution. This plan failed because at Survivor Series Goldberg still managed to retain, despite Evolution getting involved again.

Evolution hit the big-time success during the period of 2003-2004. The height of this was when they won all of the titles on Raw, not including Women's Title. Flair and Batista took the Tag Team titles from The Dudleys, Orton defeated Rob Van Dam to reclaim the Intercontinental Championship for Evolution, and Triple H finally got the better of Goldberg as he regained the title.

Flair and Batista would retain the titles against the Dudleys at Royal Rumble. Flair and Batista would then lose the titles to Rob Van Dam and Booker T, but then would regain them. This pattern continued for a short period of time.

At Wrestlemania 20 Triple H lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Chris Benoit in a Triple Threat match featuring Chris Benoit, himself, and Shawn Michaels. The rest of Evolution was successful, though, as they defeated The Rock and Mick Foley in a Three-on-Two Handicap match.

At Backlash Orton was successful when he defeated Mick Foley in a Hardcore Match. That same night Ric Flair and Triple H would both lose their individual contests, with Flair losing to Shelton Benjamin and Triple H losing a Wrestlemania rematch, despite him not being involved in the losing effort. HBK tapped out. Later on in the year Chris Benoit and Edge would also capture the tag team titles from Flair and Batista.

2004 would be known as the year the collapse of Evolution would begin. Randy Orton would be first to leave the group.

At Vengeance Orton would lose his Intercontinental Championship to Edge. It would not matter, though, as Orton won a 20-Man Battle Royal on Monday Night Raw to later on meet Chris Benoit at Summerslam. At Summerslam, history was made as Randy Orton captured the World Heavyweight Championship. That night he became the youngest world champion.

It would not be all good for Orton, though. August 16 marked the day that Randy Orton officially left Evolution. As he was celebrating Evolution showed up and they joined him in the celebration. Orton was mislead though, when Batista hoisted Orton onto his shoulders. Triple H would make a thumbs up for Orton only to turn it into a huge thumbs down as Batista dropped him from his shoulders and they would all beat the life out of him.

That would start a Triple H-Randy Orton feud, the same feud that WWE fans are sick of today. Orton was successful against the Game until Unforgiven. At Unforgiven Triple H would re-capture the World Heavyweight Championship with help from Evolution. Orton did continue feuding with Evolution though.

On December 6 the World Title officially became vacant as there was a match between Edge, Triple H, and Benoit for it. It ended in a double-pin as Edge had Benoit pinned and Benoit had Edge tapping out. So the title would be defended in an Elimination Chamber at New Year's Revolution.

This was an exciting event as it had not only Orton and Triple H, but also Dave Batista. What happened in this match started to change Batista's views on Triple H. Orton hit and RKO on Dave and covered him for the pin. Triple H was indeed close enough to break up the count, but didn't. This made what Randy Orton said earlier in the night true.

The Next Pay Per View on the schedule was Royal Rumble. This would be another step to help Batista exit Evolution. That night Triple H retained the World Heavyweight Championship, but that was not the biggest accomplishment for Evolution that night. That same night Dave Batista came in at 28 in the Royal Rumble and won, eliminating John Cena in the final moments.

Despite Triple H's attempts to have Dave challenge for the WWE Championship, Batista chose to face the leader of Evolution, The Game himself, at Wrestlemania 21. Triple H and Batista feuded until the time of Wrestlemania and at Wrestlemania both men brought it in a terrific contest for the World Title. Despite interference from Ric Flair, Batista defeated a bloody Triple H to win his first World Heavyweight Championship.

This feud would continue as it had epic encounters including one at Vengeance that no one could believe. Evolution was still somewhat together after that. Triple H would take a break as Ric Flair captured the Intercontinental Championship. Flair and Triple H would team against Carlito and Chris Masters, which is where Evolution would officially be ended as the last two members ended their alliance, with Triple H attacking Flair with a sledgehammer.

Evolution was finally no more!

Evolution would reunite once more for a Three- on-Three Tag match. The match was Batista, Ric Flair, and Triple H Vs. Rated RKO—Randy Orton and Edge—with Umaga. This match would be won by Evolution.

Judging The Group

In my opinion, Evolution was an amazing group. Even when it was breaking down, with Orton and Batista exiting, it was epic. This group had amazing storylines, and to see them would be an instant classic. Out of five, I will give this group 4 and one-half.

Join me next time when I will be doing a piece on the Main Event Mafia! Svyato out!

WWE's Top Superstars and B/R Pro Wrestling Superstars Head to the Club

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 17:43:14 -0400

One night the superstars from the WWE and some of the writers from B/R decided to take a trip down to the night club and the results were amazing to all (even though they didn't know that the other would be there)!

Bar

(Y2J) Hello? Is there anyone here?

(Server) May I help you?

(Y2J) Of course, everyone knows who I am around here. Right?

(Server) Uh no not really. Who are you?

(Y2J) Excuse me? You don't know who the Ayatollah Of Rock N Rolla is?

(Server) No.

(Y2J) Your ignorance amazes me! *slaps server*

(Server) Security!

(Y2J) Bring it on!

*Three security guards show up*

Edge attacks one of the guards from behind. Y2J hits a Codebreaker on another one of the guards. Edge takes care of the last guard by hitting him with a spear!

(Edge) That's why you don't mess with the Unified Tag Team Champions!

*Edge and Jericho walk away with egotistical smiles on their faces*

(Svyato) Hey, Chris.

(Y2J) Who are you?

(Svyato) I'm the No. 1 writer in the Chris Jericho section on Bleacher Report.

(Y2J) So you're a fan?

(Svyato) Yup, and let me be the first to say that it's too bad that you have to carry the tag team.

(Edge) Excuse me? Chris here doesn't carry the tag team, I, the Rated R Superstar do.

(Wyatt) Yeah! What are you talking about, Svyato? It's obvious that Edge here is helping the desperate Chris.

(Y2J) I don't need help from anyone. I am the best in the world at what I do!

(Edge) I'm sorry, Chris, but I have to save you from your fantasy, I'm the best!

(Y2J) Ha, you're just as pathetic at wrestling as this kid that supports you here.

(Svyato) Hehehe, you tell him.

(Y2J) Unlike Svyato here, who probably knows his stuff.

(Edge) Fine, have it your way. Tonight, for the club's feature presentation it'll be Edge & Wyatt vs. Chris Jericho & Svyato.

(Y2J) Losers have to go around telling everyone that they are pathetic wanna be wrestlers for the rest of their lives!

(Wyatt) Bring it.

(Svyato) Ha, we don't have to bring "it" to beat you two.

*Svyato and Chris Jericho walk away*

Meanwhile...

(Orton) You know I'm the champ, right?

(Hot Girl) Yeah, with a big title on your shoulder I kinda had to figure.

(Orton) Hahaha. Well how about we head back and check out other parts of my body.

(Hot Girl) Uhhh.....

No thanks. You kinda creep me out.

(Orton) What!? *hits the RKO* Next time, think before you act.

*When Orton turns around, he gets hit by a sledgehammer*

(HHH) It's all about the Game and how you play it. Well Randy, you're not playing the game right.

(Shane) Haha! It's only a matter of time before you are the new WWE Champion.

Legacy attacks them from behind. Orton gets back up and gets ready to punt both of them. Shane gets hit first and Triple H gets hit second.

(Orton) Poor HHH...still jealous that I was the crown jewel.

Dance floor

(DJ, no not Rallo) All right, everyone, we are going to slow it down.

(Kelly Kelly) Mmmmm. I love this shrimp.

(Mickie James) Me, too.

(David Bowston) Wanna dance?

(Kelly) Uh, sure.

(To another couple)

(Jared) Thanks.

(Maryse) We can dance, just don't talk.

(Jared) Okay.

(Maryse) What did I just say?

(Back to David and Kelly)

(David) Are you feeling okay?

(Kelly) Yeah, *queasy feeling* just, *barfs on David*.

(David) Oh god. *leaves*

(Kelly) Sorry. *barfs again on the nearby Maryse*

(Maryse) Grrrr!

*They start a very hot cat fight!*

Backstage

(Y2J) All right, so are you ready?

(Svyato) Yeah! Time to kick some talentless butts!

Wyatt Beltz & Edge vs. Svyato Rovenchuk & Chris Jericho

All right, everyone, we have a special presentation for you. Instead of the usual dancers we will have a Tornado Tag Team Match right here in the club. For your safety I would advise for you to find a good spot to hide. It's on!

Bell rings with Wyatt and Svyato charging at each other. Wyatt trips over Edge on his way there and breaks his nose. Svyato covers, 1, 2, 3. It's done.

Here are your winners, Svyato and Chris Jericho!

(Svyato) That was easy.

(Y2J) Obviously. Did you think it was gonna be hard? This was pointless. It was quick and painless.

(DJ Rallo) That's what she said!

(Melina) Perve. *slaps Rallo*

(DJ) Wait, Melina! I can change!

(AkD) Talk about the trouble couple.

(Michelle McCool) Yup, now where were we?

*AkD and McCool make out*

(Undertaker) Time for you to rest in peace!

(AkD) Crap! *AkD takes off*

(Undertaker) I'll just do to you what I wanted to do to him! *Tombstones McCool*

Club Closes.

Why We'll Soon See a Chris Jericho vs. Edge Feud

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:36:56 -0400

As you all know, Chris Jericho and "The Rated-R Superstar," Edge, are the current Unified Tag Team Champions. But have you ever thought about this?...

What will happen when these two lose the tag team titles?

Well I say what will happen is that we are going to see the feud of the year with Chris "Y2J" Jericho vs. "The Ultimate Opportunist," Edge. This would be an amazing feud because these two superstars are two of the best in the business today.

They are both amazing on the mic and in the ring. They are also two of the best heels in the business. Despite that amazing fact, one of them must be a face in this feud, and I think it should be Edge.

Let's face it, right now the WWE Universe might not accept Chris as a face again. On the other hand Edge could be a face easily.

So it would work out as Edge turning face and facing up against SmackDown's top heel, Chris Jericho.

I would see the feud starting something like this...

Let's say that in their last title defense Edge got pinned causing them to lose the tag team belts. So the following SmackDown, Jericho would come out to address Edge. He would say something like...

"Edge your are worthless, just like all these people here. I regret ever teaming with you because you aren't at my level. I am at the top of my game while you on the other hand are not.

"I thought you might be good enough to help me save this company, but I was wrong. You're the one that needs saving around here and I, Chris Jericho, will make sure to show you the light."

Or something like that. Sorry If I can't cut promos as good as Chris. Not everyone can be that good. Anyway then Edge would come out to respond to what Chris said. Something like...

"Chris, you need help. In case you didn't check, it was your fault we lost the belts. I'm glad we lost; this gives me the opportunity to finally get away from you. I was sick and tired of carrying the tag team anyway.

"Now I can go back to regaining my one, true love and that's the World Heavyweight Championship. Something you won't be holding anytime soon."

Again, sorry if the promo isn't that good. Then finally GM Teddy Long would come out announcing that later in the evening it would be Chris Jericho vs. Edge.

Jericho would eventually result to attacking Edge with a chair which gives Edge the win, but also gives Chris a feeling of accomplishment. And that would start the feud.

Eventually I think either Chris or Edge should put the other one out of action somehow and get into the World Title scene. I think since Chris Jericho is the heel he should be the one putting Edge out of action and stealing the World Heavyweight Championship.

Then two weeks later or one week later or whenever Edge would come out and challenge Chris and then their feud would have a title involved which would make it that much better. Especially since Edge performs best when there's a title involved.

This would without a doubt turn out to be a great feud that the audience, the fans. the WWE script writers and anyone else would love. This should happen as soon as possible. Oh yeah and the winner of the feud should be Edge especially if he's the one going face I think they should show that he can have success as a face.

WWE, I'm begging you do yourselves a favor and get this feud going. I think it would boost your popularity and ratings as well as views. Honestly, if this feud goes down people might forget that WWE is scripted (laugh).

I wouldn't be surprised though if they didn't do it. The WWE isn't exactly known for being smart now, are they? Oh well, I guess you can always dream!

Best and Worst Moments From The Bash

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:15:42 -0400

It's a little late, but here's the review on The Bash. I'm going to give the best and worst moments for The Bash with a short segment for the runner up. So, Let's get it started in here!

The Bash

Best Moment: Edge And Jericho Win Titles

At The Bash, the Unified Tag Title Match was Cody Rhodes & Ted Dibiase vs. The Colons, until Teddy Long added the amazing team of Chris Jericho and Edge to the equation to make it a Triple Threat Match.

In the end, Edge and Jericho won the titles and shocked the WWE Universe.

This is the best moment because this is finally a legit tag team. This is also a great way to bring respect back to the tag division. Having HUGE stars like Edge and Chris Jericho hold these belts really benefits everyone. I can see it now...

DX vs. Edge & Jericho

Now that would really be something. This will hopefully be one of the future matches because honestly we all need a break from the Orton/Triple H feud.

It's not that that feud isn't a good one, it's just we've seen it too many times and are getting sick of it. This will also open up the window for a superstar like MVP to step in and challenge Orton, which would be amazing!

So anyway, this is the best moment from The Bash in my opinion.

Runner Up: Michelle McCool Wins Women's Title

At The Bash, Michelle McCool picked up the victory and the gold. She became the first diva to hold both the Divas Championship and the Women's Title.

Michelle McCool is really stepping up as the premier diva in the WWE. She's got the talent, the looks, and the gold for that matter.

She is among one of my favourite divas simply because she can get it done (her looks don't hurt her either). She did need some help from Alicia Fox though, who will no longer ally herself with Michelle due to the 15-superstar trade that went down.

But it doesn't matter because she still made an impact at the moment. I hope Michelle has plenty of success in the future.

So this is your runner-up for best moment at The Bash.

Worst Moment: Kane attacks Khali and Ziggler def. Khali

Even if it was a match that no one cared about (since it had Khali), it still gets included. Why the hell would you just randomly have Kane attack Khali. If the WWE is looking to start this feud again, let me be the first to say, "NO!"

These two had a match at Wrestlemania 23 and let me tell you I was so bored I read a book (laugh). Who reads books when there is a WWE PPV on, you might say? Well when you have a match as bad as this, you have no other choice.

Don't get me wrong: Kane is a good wrestler (he's one of my favourites in fact), but putting him up against a man like Khali is a waste of everyone's time. Also the Giant Vs Giant gimmick is really lame.

I remember when a match on Monday Night Raw had the gimmick of King Kong Vs Godzilla and it wasn't that bad, but it had better stars.

That match was Kane (Godzilla) Vs Batista (King Kong). It wasn't great, but it was good. Batista put on a good performance, shocking I know (laugh) as well as Kane. But those were two different competitors.

My advice when it comes to this feud is have Kane destroy Khali and have Khali end the feud early (preferably only have one match).

So this is The Bash's worst moment.

Runner Up: Nothing Else Really

This PPV shocked me in a good way. I was expecting a lousy excuse for a PPV with The Bash, and instead I got a good show. Props to the WWE on that.

One kind of bad moment was that they didn't fully identify CM Punk's Heel turn yet.

Also Jericho losing the IC champioship was not a good thing, either. It should've ended in DQ. But then again, that allowed Jericho to team up with Edge so I have nothing against the idea.

______________________________________________________________________

Agree? Disagree? Let me know below(comments).

Also props to Vince for a Raw that was better than usual (my opinion).

Svyato out!

Top 5 Reasons Why the WWE Should/Shouldn't Sign Chuck Norris

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 16:05:41 -0400

The WWE is in need of some help when it comes to the shows (mainly Raw).

So I'm sending an e-mail to the WWE requesting the signing of Chuck Norris. Here's our five reasons why Norris should join the WWE.

Real Stuff Baby

If Norris is signed, WWE can give a taste of real wrestling to the fans. Instead of having the whole show scripted, you can have a part of it real. Norris doesn't need to be scripted to win—he can do the ass-kicking perfectly already.

Have Shelton Benjamin vs. Norris in a "real" match. That should get the fans out of their seats (even if they already know that Norris will win).

If Benjamin actually tried, maybe the match would last a few minutes, until a Roundhouse kick is delivered to end the match.

Damn, but then the WWE superstars would all be injured after they face him.

Amazing Finisher

Norris would have the best WWE finisher if he was signed. And everyone would know once that baby hit, it would all be over. The Roundhouse kick would be more dangerous than the RKO, Sweet Chin Music, and any other lethal finishers.

Norris all the way! But sadly, everyone would probably be begging not to face Norris then.

Hmm, more issues.

Time Issue

If you want a two-hour show, but you find yourself a few minutes short you can just throw in a match with Norris. That should fill the time void.

Longest Reigning World Champion

If you would sign Norris, then you would have a superstar who can break the record for longest world title reign.

I mean come on! Is there actually a superstar who can beat him? And if the script writers tell him to lose, he'll just Roundhouse kick the script writer and ask the rest, "Anyone else think I should lose?"

And that solves that.

Chance To Debut And Push New Stars

Signing Norris would mean that you can debut lots of new talent. Also you can push some of the mid carders and young guys.

Norris will help you do this by basically crippling all of the current main event stars like Dave Batista, Randy Orton, Triple H, John Cena, and anyone else he just doesn't like.

The problem is when he's done with just about all the good wrestlers, you can find that you are going to have to resort to Vince McMahon fighting as well as some kids you find on the street.

Personal Threat From Chuck

Listen here, all of you at the head office. If you don't sign me, I'll get a car, I'll find and I'll Roundhouse kick you so hard that your grandchildren will feel it!

And then I'll take your wives, but only the ones I like. The ones I don't like shall join you in the after life after I Roundhouse kick them. Got that?

WWE the Bash Preview: (Mask vs Title) Chris Jericho (c) vs Rey Mysterio

Svyato Rovenchuk The Toronto Made Classic — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 20:51:00 -0400

Hey, it's Svyato here with a preview of one of the matches from our upcoming pay per view, The Bash. This time I'm going to talk about the thrilling match that is going to be Chris Jericho Vs Rey Mysterio. It's a situation where neither man wants to lose. Now let's start shall we.

Stipulations

Oh the stipulations for this match are huge ones(my opinion). If Rey Mysterio loses he will have to take off a part of him that makes Rey, Rey(no not his colorful pants), his mask. To Rey Mysterio taking off a luchador's mask is the ultimate sign of disrespect and for him to do that himself, that's brutal. So if I were Rey I'd hope that the WWE writers don't pull a TNA here.

For Chris Jericho to lose the match is losing the ITC championship. To many other men this would be nothing, but Chris is king when it comes to the ITC title so to him it may not be nothing. Chris just won this title at Extreme Rules where he beat Mysterio in a No Holds Barred match to win the title.

Chris also managed to retain the ITC title on Raw this week. And for his title reign to be that short then why do you give him a title reign at all(unless it's Batista who has gotten short title reigns recently)? My point is no matter what the hell happens neither result will be satisfying.

Matching Up

Sizing them up, both men aren't too big. But size doesn't matter when it's scripted(laugh). I think Rey will be the underdog as usual going into the match against Y2J(once again doesn't matter when it's scripted).

Chris Jericho is a great wrestler. He's a very hard worker when it comes to the ring. He is also a great heel as well as a terrific in the ring competitor.

Now let's look at Rey. He's got great highflying abilities. He's the WWE's second best highflyer in my opinion(no one can compare to Jeff, sorry Rey). Rey is an amazing performer no denying it. A lot of people may not like him, but he is good at what he does.

All in all, this should be a good match.

How it should go

Let's see how it should go...

Chris Jericho stars off strong,

Rey starts fighting back,

until Y2J hits a reversal,

Jericho locks in the Walls Of Jericho,

Rey just gets to the rope,

Rey takes the lead in the match until he sets up for the 619,

he hits it , but when he covers Jericho kicks out,

eventually both superstars end up outside the ring,

Jericho eventually gets frustrated and hits Y2J with a chair.

Rey Mysterio wins the match, but Jericho retains the title.

That's how I see it going, but remember this is the WWE, they can always be expected to do something stupid.
