Mania

 

It's finally! arrived. With 'finally' truly needing an exclamation point beside it, seeing as it's been almost 2 whole months since the last WWE PPV event. In what feels like the longest build to a WrestleMania ever.


The ingredients for Mania Season were highlighted by John Cena's heel turn, after over 20 years as a face. You had Charlotte Flair make a triumphant return at the Royal Rumble, setting up her Title Match with Tiffany Stratton. CM Punk headlining Night 1.


What should have been the most captivating time of the year however, fell short of expectations. WWE spent what felt like a solid month in Europe, with many a star missing throughout this entire WrestleMania Season.


The leadup to the biggest show of the year, which captivates even the most casual of wrestling fan, seemed lackluster. The Rock & some Rapper helped facilitate Cena's shocking turn, then never returned to WWE programming, despite both billed for this weekend. All with the thought, did Cena even need anyone's help for such a monumental heel turn in the first place?


I digress. The 17 time World Champion Cena didn't even make the final Raw before Mania. As a matter of fact, his count for WWE appearances during this 2 month build towards the Main Event, a grand total of 4 for the literal Mr. "U Can't See Me".


All of this not showing up stuff, and we're not even talking about Roman Reigns. The Chief of never showing to any kind of wrestling events, even/especially as Champion. It certainly didn't deter the Company from giving Reigns yet another marquee spot on the Match Card tonight though. A Triple Threat, with nothing on the line.


The ladies who should've closed the show tonight were no doubt Flair & Stratton. But Raw on Netflix (don't get me started), didn't even feature any of the 5 women competing for a Women's Title 5 days before WrestleMania, and the list goes on and on. 


Everything being said, we all know WWE is going to put on 1 heck of a spectacle this weekend. Mania will be magical as always, but that's what makes completely dropping the ball during the longest of roads to get here, the more frustrating.

Lista (rapida) de Prospectos

  Que días llenos de deportes nos encontramos en el calendario. Las Panteras de Florida van a su tercera Final de Conferencia consecutiva. En la NBA, igual solo quedan 4 Equipos (Indiana/Nueva York .. Minnesota/Oklahoma). Las últimas dos semanas hubo vastante Box (con las presentaciones de la promoción Top-Rank, robándose y rescatando el show). Hasta las poderosas Aguilas de la América buscan su CUARTO TÍTULO MEXICANO CONSECUTIVO. Nuestros Marlins hoy comienzan otra Serie contra los Cachorros de Chicago, después de ganarles una Serie a Tampa éste pasado fin de semana por primera vez desde 2018! Se a visto talento joven debutar en el sur de la Florida durante ya casi 2 meces de Temorada. Catchers Liam Hicks y Agustín Ramirez han comenzado sus Carreras bastante bien.  Nos dejo pensando, cuales Peloteros dentro de la Organización de los Marlins podrían tal vez dubutar pronto al igual, y quiénes pondríamos en una lista de "Top Prospectos". 1.Thomas White The last time Son Los Mar...

  With the sports and entertainment world still flabbergasted (and not in the good kind of way when it comes to wrestling) with WrestleMania 41. We could touch a little bit on how Triple-H can't hold a candle to his father in law as head of creative & the WWE. Or how somebody like the Rock likes to be incorporated in everything, yet decides to not be involved with absolutely anything Professional Wrestling anymore. Or even how a company like TKO, whose sole priority seems to be how much money each particular International Country is willing to pay them to go there, than it ever was putting on any sort of grand spectacle during their biggest show of the year.  We could touch on all that, but no, no, let's instead delve into myriad sports around the State. You got the Florida Panthers, who when their not too busy kissing Donald Trump's ass in the White House during the Regular Season, are instead kicking some ass of their own in the Playoffs. Holding a 2-0 lead on the Tam...

Money well spent?!

  It's no secret the Marlins are going into 2025 with the lowest payroll in Major League Baseball. That's been well publicized, following a 2023-2024 Off-Season during which they signed exactly 1 Free-Agent (Tim Anderson, 1 yr/$5 Million Dollars), along with just this past Winter where they soley Inked Cal Quantrill to a 1 Year/$3.5 Million Dollar Contract. We've hinted on the Fish Front Office shedding almost every Player whom is making (either now or in the near future ) more than the MLB minimum. We've also touched on ⬇️ reasoning ⤵️ behind the why that very well could be.   Former Cy Young Winner Sandy Alcántara is the leader on the Field and in Player Payroll heading into the new Season. After signing a 5 Year $56 Million Dollar Extension following the 2021 Campaign, Sandy has 3 Seasons of Club control left, with a Team Option for 2027. Alcántara is slated for a $17.3 Million Dollar salary in 2025. That's a jump of $8 Million Dollars from 2024 based on the s...
