Undertaker's Retirement #Undertaker #WrestleMania #EndofAnEra #ThankYouTaker

 
 Okay, so I was happily blogging my post of Naomi winning the Smackdown women's title when the Undertaker's music came on and I was distracted watching my favorite wrestler walk down the ramp.

Then something strange happened...the Undertaker loss at WrestleMania again....and my heart sank. I actually was on a date during the time, and was distracted on my phone...because my childhood hero left his signature hat and coat in the ring. I was so so sad as I felt a piece of my childhood died that night. To remedy that I had a lot of drinks because I knew WrestleMania would never be the same. I wanted to tell my date dude...the Undertaker retired...I'm depressed. Like when Kobe retired ya'll was sad, I didn't judge you. 

The Undertaker...what can I say about him. When I was younger, and I stood out and I was a little different...I fell in love with the Undertaker. That is who he was. He was the person that worked his ass off and stood by himself with his own persona with his own originality. I spent my entire life rooting for the Undertaker as he was my hero. His commitment to the darkness to the mysteriousness shaped a lot of who I am today. Especially since the Undertaker debuted the same year I was born, 1990.



Honestly, I felt it coming as he decided to go back to his graveyard promo...as I was excited I could hear it in his voice. It was the end of the Undertaker. 

However, nothing is better than the Undertaker's debut when I was just a little baby.

However, my favorite thing about the Undertaker was his promos.

The Undertaker vs. Triple H - WWE Super Show-Down Results and Grades #SSD #WWE

HBK came down to the ring first. The fans clamored to get pictures of HBK...to be honest I would be too. Shawn is still in great shape, now he is the heartbreak grandpa. HHH came out next with a mask on but without the fanfare I expected. He came to the ring pretty fast and it was a pretty basic HHH entrance. He does have new ring gear which is nice. The Melbourne crowd loved HHH. Kane then came to the ring. I love how his name shows up when he walks to the ring it's pretty cool. The Undertaker's entrance of course was epic. All you saw were phones everywhere as fans attempted to snap pictures of the Deadman. The Undertaker looked great in his entrance and brought presence and prestige to the night. (Except for the gray on the sides...Undertaker I never want to see a another gray hair on your head). Fans complain about the older wrestlers taking the spotlight but the Undertaker's presence gives a PPV that extra push that makes it a classic. The match was no disq...

The New Day vs. The Bar - WWE Super Show-Down Results and Grades #SSD #WWE

The show opened up surprisingly with the SmackDown Tag Team Championship title match. This is the second time the SmackDown Tag Team Championship has been the show opener. They were on the pre-show last PPV which technically is a dark match but it was still the first match the fans saw of the night. I am not sure what this means, perhaps the WWE just wants the New Day opening up their PPV's from now on. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods as a pairing is just amazing. Their intro tag team sequence was absolutely lightening. Both of them are so coordinated and agile. Kofi shows why he is one of the best tag team champions of all time. Really great showing by these two. Sheamus and Cesaro are good but honestly not as good as Kingston and Woods. At least not as a tag team. However, they play to their strengths which is power, heel tactics and viciousness.  Of course, anyone that uses the Sharp Shooter is near and dear to my heart. I am sure that is homage to Cesaro's friend Tyson...

WWE Super Show-Down Predictions #WWE #SuperShowDown

WWE Super Show-Down will take place in Australia this weekend. While many say that it is a glorified house show, I do not think it is. I think the WWE will use this show to lay the groundwork for Evolution, Crown Jewel, and Survivor Series while simultaneously building bigger storylines. For instance, there are rumors of Kurt Angle's return and Asuka and Dean Ambrose's heel turn. Bobby Lashley and John Cena vs. Elias and Kevin Owens This is an easy match to predict. Cena and Lashley will get the win here. This will likely be the show opener so John Cena can give a big speech welcoming the crowd and exciting them for the night's matches. This will be clear-cut and simple. Delighting the Australian fans while also showing Cena's dominance in his return.  Cedric Alexander vs. Buddy Murphy  WWE Cruiserweight Championship  This match is the biggest toss up on the card. While many fans criticize WWE Super Show-Down as a glorified house show; the WWE ...
