WWE Hall of Fame 2017

   It's finally here. Wrestlemania weekend. A very exciting time. To start off Wrestlemania weekend, I thought I would give my thoughts on the class of 2017 for the Hall of Fame tonight. I also want to share my favorite Hall of Fame moment.

To start off, I want to talk about the biggest surprise going into the Hall of Fame. Kurt Angle. Kurt Angle is a gold medalist who had a very successful WWE career, but stepped away from the company for 11 years. No one knew what happened, or if he was coming back. (If you want to know why he stepped away, and you have the WWE Network, then check out his interview with Corey Graves.) Anyway, when they were going to announce the first inductee into the Hall of Fame, Kurt Angle was the last person I expected. I just didn't know if he was going to do anything with WWE anymore, because he was in TNA.
But, I'm glad he's going into the Hall of Fame. It's very well deserved.

The next inductee I got excited for was DDP. This is a man who I respect a lot, not just for wrestling but also because of the type of human being he is. DDP saved Jake the Snake and Scott Hall from dying, and helped put them into shape. (Check out the Resurrection of Jake the Snake. Warning: it will make you laugh, cry, yell, and cry some more. But it's a good documentary.) So also well deserved. Another surprise is the fact that Eric Bischoff is inducting him. Yes, you read that correctly. Could this mean Bischoff might do something with WWE? Maybe even be the new RAW GM? Who knows. Guess we'll wait and see. But I'm excited nonetheless.

The other inductees include:
Beth Phoenix
Teddy Long
The Rock N Roll Express
Rick Rude
Erie LeGrand (For the warrior award)

Now to end this, I am going to share my favorite moment from the Hall of Fame. Mick Foley was inducted in the class of 2013. In his speech, he talked about how he never beat Chris Jericho. So during his speech, Jericho(who was in the front row) got up on the stage and lied down. So Foley dropped an elbow on Jericho, and then CM Punk goes on stage and counts 1,2,3. It was a great moment.
Here's the link to the video:

Hope you guys enjoyed this, and I hope you enjoy the Hall of Fame on the WWE Network. If you do miss it, USA will be showing a 1 hr version after Raw.

Why I think Robby J Fonts is perfect for Stuck Mojo

    So today I want to discuss why I think Robby J is the perfect front man for Stuck Mojo. Now before I start, I just want you to know that this is just my opinion. I'm not going to tell you that you have to like him, because you don't. You have the right to like him or hate him. I was just want to give my reasons as to why I think he is perfect in Stuck Mojo.

To start; Robby grew up listening to Stuck Mojo. (If you don't believe me, you can check out my interview with him, right here on my blog. The title is From fan to front man.) Because of this, he knows what Stuck Mojo is all about. So he has knowledge of what Stuck Mojo songs should sound like. It's not like Rich Ward just plucked a random kid off the street. He knew exactly what he was doing when he picked Robby.

Another thing; Robby has passion and energy. A perfect example of this is in Stuck Mojo's music video for Rape Whistle. You can check it out on their YouTube channel. It's a pretty sweet video. Anyway, if you watch Robby perform, you can see the passion in his performance. From the way he moves about the stage like a crazy man, to the way he can grab the attention of the crowd. Now, I've never seen him perform in person(though I hope to some day), I have done some research on YouTube. A perfect example of his performance is from when Stuck Mojo played at Brutal Assault last year.

The last thing I want to touch on, to go along with his passion, is his passion for writing and making music. He works really hard because he cares about the music his makes. In the interview I did with him, he talked about working with Rich Ward in the studio and how they got along. I also asked him about future projects, and he talked about doing some solo stuff since Rich is in Fozzy. So you can tell he is really passionate, cause he doesn't seem like a slacker. He's a hardworking, passionate, intelligent guy.

So these are some reasons as to why I think Robby J is perfect for Stuck Mojo. He gives the music this energy that they really needed, and I think he is going to continue doing great in the future. For those of you who don't like him, I respect your opinion, but I hope that maybe this will make you respect Robby a little bit. He is working hard and doing well in Stuck Mojo. But again, I'm not trying to make you like him.

Thanks for reading guys. Be forever metal.

Wrestlemania 33 thoughts

    So in honor of Wrestlemania week; I've decided to share my Wrestelemania thoughts. Most of my thoughts aren't great, and what I mean is, I have nothing good to say about Wrestlemania. Except for one thing. I will say that I am looking forward to the US championship match between Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens. Honestly, out of all the matches on the card, this is the one I'm looking forward to the most. Now on to the rest.

I was really looking forward to the Seth Rollins, Triple H match. Mostly because I wanted this match so bad last year, but it didn't happen because Seth was injured. When Seth got injured again, I was a little upset. Mostly because I feel that caused WWE to come up with bad booking. It wasn't Seth's fault, cause injuries happen. But I feel that the story and build up would have been better, had the injury not happened. I know officials were scrambling, trying to come up with ideas. Which is why it's not as great as it could be, but it's not bad either. The match might still turn out great, hopefully.

Another big match I want to talk about is Undertaker's match against Roman Reigns. I'm calling this match big because I feel that any match with the Undertaker is big. I could care less about Roman Reigns. Now the build up to this to me is meh. Like, they're trying to make Roman look strong and act so tough. Do they really think we're buying this crap? Is it me, or did they just not have any good ideas with this match? Or any on the card for that matter.

I just have a feeling that this Wrestlemania isn't going to be as great as it could be. I could be wrong, and I hope I am. But I have a bad feeling.
Honestly, the things I'm looking forward to are the Hall of Fame, and NXT Takeover Orlando. I will be doing separate posts for those two events, so I can go a little in depth with each one. So keep an eye out for that.
I will also be doing a Wrestlemania after thought. I will be watching the whole pay per view, so I'll give you my thoughts and overall.

Hope you guys enjoyed my thoughts. If you want to share your Wrestlemania thoughts with me, or even discuss the ones I gave, you can leave a comment or send me a tweet @MJWesney.
Thanks for reading guys. Hope you enjoy Wrestlemania week.

Blood Divisions "Cardinal One" (featuring Chris Jericho)

    Hey guys.
    So my recommendation today is the album "Cardinal One" by Blood Divisions. From my understanding, Blood Divisions is a side project by Chris Jericho. Now, if you love Jericho's vocals from Fozzy and you also love heavy music, then this album is for you.
These songs are heavy and will get stuck in your head. Which is great. That's how it should be.

Now just like in Fozzy, Jericho's vocals will blow you away. I was honestly surprised. Cause this isn't Fozzy. This is Chris Jericho along with current and former members of the bands Nasty Savage, Obituary, Testament, Death, Iced Earth, Massacre, and Six Feet Under. I've listened to some other music covers and projects that Jericho has done with people not in Fozzy, and I never liked them. Mostly because I didn't hear good chemistry.

But when you listen to "Cardinal One", you can tell there is good chemistry among these guys. I honestly hope they do more. You should definitely check this out and hear for yourself. It's on YouTube, and I think it's also on ITunes.  
Prepare to be blown away with the amazing beat of the drums, the beautiful guitar playing, along with the amazing vocals of Chris Jericho.

From what I've heard, I would definitely give this album an 8/10.

I hope you enjoy this album. Also, if you want to know what songs are good; I love "Hot N Ready" and "Sympathy"(Which reminds me of the band Extermination, as far as the vocals and instrumental. You can check out my post about them.)

Anyway, enjoy this heavy album. I hope you will love it as much as I do. I'm glad I could share this recommendation with you. Leave a comment if you would like to share your feedback. You can also send me a tweet @MJWesney.
Thanks for reading. Be forever metal.

Update (What to look forward to in April)

           Hey guys. So I want to give you an update on what to expect on my blog in April. First off, I am going to be doing an interview with Vicky Psarakis from The Agonist. I'm hoping to conduct the interview and get it posted in April.
I'm also going to be doing some conversations with Stuck Mojo frontman Robby J. We will be discussing topics such as: Is metal dead?, Young musician complaints(which I will explain in a second), and Does music change us as a person?
I'm looking forward to seeing what Robby J has to say about these topics. I actually might discuss all of these with him and do it like a podcast, instead of doing three separate conversations. I'll keep you updated on that.

So about the young musician complaints. I've heard and read some musicians that have been around for a long time, like Alice Cooper, talk about these young musicians complaining about touring. There are some who are complaining about touring, and it makes me think that young musicians don't have any passion, and that they're just in it for the money and fame. That's just my opinion, and I'm not going to get into it, because I will be discussing it with Robby J. With him being a young musician himself, I'm very curious about what he has to say.

So those are some things to look forward to next month. If I come up with more, I will let you guys know. Like to an update part 2.
If you have some suggestions on what you want to see, maybe some interviews you would like to read, let me know in the comments. I will try to get them set up.
Thanks for reading guys.

WWE Women's division (High School drama edition)

   Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah. Two women who defined the women's division in wrestling. During Mae Young's time, it was pretty much unfathomable for a woman to wrestle. Cause wrestling was a guy thing. But she did it anyway, because it was her passion. These two women are respected for what they did. Cause what they did was pave the way for future women in wrestling.

Women like Lita, Trish Stratus, and even the women we see today like Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Bayley, and Becky Lynch. Back during the attitude era, Lita and Trish Stratus were carrying out the legacy that Mae and the Fabulous Moolah started. They were putting on amazing matches, heck, they even main evented Monday Night Raw. That still happens on Raw today. Charlotte and Sasha Banks have main evented Raw and put on some great matches. But there is one problem with the women's division, and that's their storylines.

Why is it that women in WWE go through storylines that are pretty ,much High School drama? Like triangle relationships for example. Like, that happened in the attitude era, and I never understood it back then. I still don't understand it now. You have talented women, and yet you're making them act like teens. Whether it's complaining about not getting what they want, or becoming furious about someone stealing their so called "boyfriend".I hate seeing this talent get wasted. It happens way to often in WWE these days.

These women deserve to have better stroylines, longer matches, and main events not just on shows, but on pay per views also. We were promised a women's revolution. They weren't going to be called divas anymore. Yet, they still act like them. I mean, to say everything is going to change, then give Nikki Bella the WWE divas championship. You serious? Nothing has changed. I mean, yeah they changed the title to the Women's championship, but that doesn't change the characters and storylines.

The sad thing is, it's not just on the main roster. It's on NXT too. Now, there aren't very many talented women in NXT right now. I only like Asuka. I think she's great. But again, they aren't being treated right. They need storylines that show us they are mature women that can handle anything, instead of whining, complaining teens.

Do you agree with what I said? Are you bothered by this, or could you care less? Let me know in the comments. You can also tweet me @MJWesney

Need your help

 Hey guys. So I'm trying to come up with more ideas for future posts on my blog, and I need your help. If you've read my blog, you know I talk about wrestling. I also talk about music. I do band recommendations, album reviews, etc.
I thought it would be nice if you guys could help me out a bit. I would love for you to be able to participate. Cause if it weren't for you, this blog wouldn't be any fun at all. Which would suck, because I love sharing this stuff with you guys.
So if you have anything in wrestling that you want me to talk about, like maybe a pay per view or an angle you want my opinion on. Or maybe something in music, like a band I should check out, or an album I should listen to and review; then let me know in the comments.

I really hope you guys consider doing this. It would help me out a lot, and I would also love to hear what you guys come up with.
Also, if you don't want to leave a comment, you can send me a tweet @MJWesney. But don't feel shy. All ideas and opinions are welcome.
Thanks for reading.
