Feb 27: Weekly Review in Wrestling
Alright guys, here's a quick review of the happenings of the past week.
John Cena cut a promo on The Rock during last week's Monday Night Raw. You can click on the video below to see it in case you haven't had a chance to.
No titles changed at the Elimination Chamber pay per view, meaning Daniel Bryan and CM Punk will head into Wrestlemania 28 with the titles.
Speaking of the champions, Bryan is scheduled to take on Royal Rumble winner Sheamus and Punk will tangle with Chris Jericho, who won the over the top battle royal on Monday Night Raw.
Eve confessed that she only used Zack Ryder to get to John Cena and it seems like she only used Cena to hook the biggest fish of all, The Rock.
Ewrestlingnews.com is reporting that Randy Orton is be evaluated by doctors sometime before Raw tonight. As you remember he suffered a concussion the Raw before Elimination Chamber, not only forcing him from competing in the event, but from live events as well.
It looks like something in brewing between the general managers of Raw and Smackdown. Johnny Ace seems like he has the intentions of becoming the general manager of both shows but Teddy Long has something to say about it. Look for something to happen at Wrestlemania to settle this power struggle...
And finally as I noted in my last post, it will be The Undertaker vs Triple H in a Hell in a Cell match. Somewhat curious as to how they are going to hang the cell since the event is going to take place outdoor...in case you guys didn't know that already.
Hopefully that catches you guys up from the all happenings from the previous week. Enjoy Monday Night Raw later tonight.

Speaking of Monday Night Raw, HBK Shawn Michaels is scheduled to appear. Tune in tomorrow to see what he has to say...
And finally, Alberto Del Rio made his return at a WWE Live Event yesterday in California. He ended up having a arm wrestling match with Sheamus, which ended up in a no contest by his ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez.

Letter to Those Who Read This Blog
To whom it may concern:
You know what of the things that amazes me about this blog, is the amount of views it has. Now I'm not trying to brag or anything like that but the fact that is blog has as many views as it does it somewhat surprising.
When I started my job back in September, this blog basically took a back seat. And it wasn't until now that I have re-dedicated myself to updating it. But the fact that in those months that I took off, just about each month had at least 500 views.
It's no secret that a lot of people out there enjoy watching wrestling and/or follow on the web. But I am just blow away that even though I took a hiatus from the blog, you guys (for some reason or another) continued to read it.
So I would like to thank you everyone out there who has read this blog, either regularly or occasionally, for all the support. Chances are if nobody reason this blog, I would not be writing this post. And for those who are curious, this blog has over 10,000+ views. Once again thanks for all the support.
