My Money in the Bank 2015 Present to myself:

Had to get the Rollins in honor of his title match on Sunday. I'm guessing now he loses.

Von Erich Family 30 for 30

I watched this today at my parents. I remember in '93 when I learned the Texas Tornado had committed suicide. He lived in Denton, Texas and my Uncle Rick knew all about him. He was a legend in those parts. Really solid watch. Poor Kevin Von Erich.

I'm Going to Money in the Bank 2015!

There's no poster available yet, but I am going to be able to cross an item off my bucket list on Sunday June 14th, 2015. Money in the Bank comes to Columbus, marking the first WWE Pay Per View in Columbus since King of the Ring 2002 when I was proverbially out of the game as a freshman in college.

I'm a big 80's/WWF Wrestling guy. I have a few current guys on the roster that I absolutely love. I pull those out from today's show and really just follow those guys. Bray Wyatt is my main guy I'm hoping to see succeed. From there, I am okay with Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, and Bo Dallas.

I'll likely get to see Bray Wyatt in a Money in the Bank ladder match. To see him win that briefcase in person would be phenomenal. I will take photos from the event and post them on this blog.

I've done two Monday Night Raws live - last in November of 2012 - and I was stoned out of my mind.

Can't wait to see MITB live and in person, seeing as it's one of the big events WWF does these days, only behind the big four PPV's of Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, Survivor Series, and Summerslam. We're lucky to have it in Columbus and you can bet your ass I'll be doing my part to make it a smart crowd. Chicago and Philly ain't got nothin' on us Buckeyes!

2015 Royal Rumble Post

Now that NFL season is over and I've spent all day at the office working, it's time to sit down and enjoy a time-honored tradition.

Bo Dallas makes his return tonight. Bray Wyatt in his first Rumble. Really it's the greatest match in sports entertainment and I can't wait to see it. Recap to come later

Owen Hart, Greatest Ribber Ever

I have laughed my ass off to this story a few times, first reading it in Bret's book but then hearing him tell it again is almost better:

WWE2K15 Awesome Commercial, Hogan Ringside Fest Figure

I love this commercial of the new WWE2k15 game. It's an age old classic poem - with the best part being when they show an aging Hogan looking out over an empty arena thinking of the days gone by while they read this stanza:  

"Though wise men at their end, know that dark is right."

I love Hulk Hogan. It's the kid/mark in me, but I love Hogan.

Here's this figure from the recent Ringside Fest, it's a Defining Moments Hogan that I must have:
