Fandango dances around the ring, to a huge BOO. Y2J takes him known and beings the assault with the chops, Fandango escapes to the outside but gets speared.

Y2J nails the code breaker but gets blasted out of the ring; Y2J flies to the outside and takes out Fandango.  Y2J continues to beat Fandango until he counters a flying dropkick with a flying kick. Now Fandango starts beating Y2J, Y2J comeback with a kick to the back of the head for a two count. Y2J is bleeding from the head.

Y2J hits another flying cross body on Fandango for a two count. Fandango throws Y2J into the ring post shoulder first. Then hits a face driver move kind of like the mic check on Y2J. Fandango goes up top for a leg drop but only gets 2. Y2J is back at it, and gets him in the walls. Fandango goes up top again but Y2J throws him off.

Y2J sets up Fandango for a superplex but he counters then misses yet another leg drop. Then Y2J went for the lionsault but misses and tweaks his knee. Y2J then goes for the walls again, but Fandango counters into a small package for the 1, 2, 3.

We go back to Miz’s impressive win on Wade Barrett earlier for the IC title.

Once again we are reminded of the main event, Rock vs Cena II.

We see a package on the screen of a bunch of Wrestlemania moments by past stars. All to bring out P. Diddy!

All his songs lead into “I’m Coming Home”. Dedicated to the Sandy Victims.

Amazing performance! Arena explodes at the end with fire works, and Diddy is named as WWE’s Global Ambassador for Anti-Bullying.

A Sweet package of Swagger's America with Zeb Colter and then Del Rio's America promo!

World Heavyweight Title Match:
-Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. Jack Swagger with Zeb Colter

They completely skipped Swagger’s entrance so they could cut a promo. They apparently entered in ATV.

This is a great Zeb promo, talking about how New York and New Jersey went downhill for the “illegal’s”. It ends with a great WE THE PEOPLE.

Here comes Ricardo to introduce Del Rio. Del Rio comes out dressed up like Rocky with a huge Mexican flag explosion.

Starts off with a even exchange of kicks and punches. Del Rio flies between the ropes and attacks Swagger outside. Zeb provides a distraction so Swagger can start destroying Del Rio. Del Rio goes for a cross pin for a two count then eats a big boot! Swagger hits the Swagger Bomb for another two count.

Del Rio get’s the two count, then they start actually wrestling and Del Rio hits him with a German suplex.

Del Rio goes for the Cross Arm breaker but counters it into the Gut wretch bomb, only a two count. Swagger goes for the Patriot Lock again, Swagger counters an ankle breaker into an arm breaker. Swagger reverses into another Patriot Lock, BUT Del Rio makes it to the ropes.

Del Rio hits a kick to Swagger’s head, and hits another kick to head and goes for the count, but Zeb put’s Swagger’s foot on the rope. Zeb then attacks Ricardo, Del Rio goes after him with a crutch, but Swagger gets him from behind.

Del Rio waits for Swagger and hits the cross arm breaker! Swagger taps out!

Review: "Rockpocalypse" (2013) "Do You Smell What You're Smart Phone.....Is... COOKING"

REMEMBER to BECOME a FAN by LIKING our FACEBOOK page: Our Honest View

By: Gabriel Roderick

Ever been asked on Facebook who would be on your dream team in a apocalypse or war? Well if you picked Rock on your team, WWE made a game just for you.

WWE has been advertising for days a new mobile game to check out for smartphones and it of course with the popularity of his new movie it's a game based on the Rock!

I was surprised by the load times of this game, you can start this game up and literally go watch a Rock promo on television then come back and BAM it's loaded.

This game overall wasn't terrible but it was far from good on terms of being a mobile game! Graphically this game is a failure, it's blurry barley looks like Rock. I feel like WWE is trying so hard for this game to be Telltales Walking Dead game, since the games start off very similarly. You can't even see Rock's famous tattoos that are on everything now!

Enemy wise this game only has two and they change them up by making them harder to hit, and changing the order of the two and finally of course changing the appearances of the two. This actually leads to my only positive thing to say about the game.

You can customize the Rock, change his appearance and make him a better ass-kicker. I'll tell ya if I need to play as Rock and save all mankind I'm doing it in style. However having the Rock as a main character of the game is still too soon. Granted he can hold his own in the movies (barley) but in wrestling he hasn't been the main eventer in 10 years and is doing a bad job relying on his promos.

The one thing the customization of Rock is missing and very vital is you can't change his voice or catch phrases. So if your a Boots 2 Asses kind of guy then look no further. Rock will constantly shout out his phase catch phrases, that we've all heard 10 millions...AND I MEAN MILLIONS of Times..See what I mean?

The length of this mobile game was surprisingly short, I mean it's the Rock saving the world. Can you really sum this up in just a few short battles? Or a few short places?  I would like to see a evil Cena fighting rock or something.

Combat is your typical smartphone game, though I found it difficult sometimes swiping I don't know if it was me or the lagging in the game. I didn't like that I couldn't do a fake out move BUT my opponents could go in for a headbutt then switch to a right.. Come on, BUT what is Rock's finisher move in the game... NOT the Rockbottom of course but a Superman punch.. Since when does the Rock know how to fight? But sometimes he'd switch back to wrestler and drop the guy with a Superman Punch then deliver a People's Elbow on the ground.

Our Honest View gives Rockpocalypse 2.5/10. I didn't except much going into this game but I was hoping seeing as the Rock is the GREAT ONE and making WWE millions and I MEAN MILLIONS (Deja vu) of dollars by wearing the title, that they would give him a decent game.

Review & COVERAGE of SuperBowl XLVII

 

Unlike most sports where the best team usually does win the championship, that was not the case in Super Bowl XLVII. The 49ers were the better team, but this was also their first time in the Super Bowl and played like it the entire first half. The Baltimore Ravens were able to overcome age, injuries, and a lack of talent in comparison to the San Francisco 49er’s and to allow the fraud and cheater, also known as Ray Lewis, to go out a champion.

Each half of the Super Bowl was like an entirely different game. In the first half quarterback Joe Flacco repeatedly drove his offense down the field to stake his team to a 21-6 half-time lead. On the other side of the ball, the 49er’s should search their locker room for guns, because they couldn’t stop shooting themselves in the foot. Whether it was taking idiotic penalties, turning the ball over twice, once on a fumble on what had been a very promising drive, or just making decisions that made no sense at all, such as Colin Kaepernick deciding to drop to the ground on 3rd down inside the Raven’s 5 yard line instead of fighting for the first down, they just couldn’t do anything right and made the Raven’s look like a much better team than they actually are.

 
The halftime show provided the first bit of excitement, first with Beyonce looking beyond amazing, and then the Destiny’s Child reunion. Apparently the NFL has finally gotten over the infamous nipple gate, because Beyonce was the first main Super Bowl halftime performer under 50 since Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. It was definitely a good show and a refreshing change.


The second half began looking a lot like the first half, with Jacoby Jones of the Ravens returning the opening kickoff and NFL record tying 108 yards for a touchdown. The 49er’s offense also continued to make plays and then stall when it happened. The it I am referring to is half the stadium losing power. Right in the middle of the NFL’s championship game, half the stadium lost power. Ironically enough it was the 49er’s half that lost power. This outage caused the game to be delayed for over 30 minutes while they got the power back online. Once the power came back online, it was like the light had finally turned on in the collective minds of San Francisco.

For the next quarter and a half the 49er’s played like a team possessed, perhaps finally realizing that players only get so many chances at a Super Bowl title in their careers. They turned Ray Lewis into a glorified speed bump, running the ball right over him, and passing anywhere they wanted. Kaepernick also set the record for longest rushing TD by a QB in Super Bowl history, blazing down the left sideline to bring the 49er’s within 2 points at 31-29, before failing to convert their 2point conversion attempt. The Raven’s finally responded by driving to the SF 20 and kicking a field goal to bring their lead back up to 5 points. They would then barely hold on, with some help from the refs, by stopping San Francisco at the 5 yard line to preserve their victory.


I also feel the need to call out the officials of this game. Generally I appreciate it when the refs just let the teams play and don’t throw a ton of flags. However, there were 3 specific calls that were just blatant no calls at the end of the 4th quarter and could very easily have changed the outcome of the game. The first non-call was on the 3rd down before the 49er’s last field goal. Not only did Ed Reed jump off-sides, he lined up off-sides! I thought only the NBA has special rules just for super stars, but I guess I was wrong. Ed Reed is a great player, but he got away with one on that play.

The next play was on the 49er’s last offensive play of the game. The Ravens defender clearly grabbed hold of Crabtree and held on for a good 2-3 yards, but once again, the ref’s seemed to have forgot how to use a whistle. The last non-call was on the Ravens intentional safety with 12 seconds left in the game. Multiple Ravens blatantly tackled 49er’s players to the ground, which is a pretty obvious holding call, but the refs did their best WWE ref impersonation and saw no problem with the play.


Greatest Reviews gives the Super Bowl 3 ½ stars out of 5. The first half wasn’t even competitive, there were only maybe 3 or 4 good commercials the entire night, the refs made several blatant non-calls in the Ravens favor down the stretch, and the 49er’s clock management at the end of the game was possibly the worst since the Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIX. The only thing that saved this game was the 49er’s coming from 22 points down a few minutes into the 3rd quarter to almost taking the lead with under 2 minutes to go.

Post Raw 01-28-13: "Road To Wrestlemania"

Hello ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. Tonight on episode three of Greatest in Reviewing, we’ve got just two words for ya..... Are you ready? Wait, that’s three words. What I meant to say was “Rumble Review!”

The rumble saw Miz injure himself in what potentially could have been a very good mid-card match. Cesaro is really looking more and more impressive every match.
Where was Ric Flair? We saw Miz go for the knee, which probably wasn’t the best idea considering he botched the move and injured his leg.

We jump to Del Rio vs Big Show, which was quick and painless. Well, painless for us at least. Not so much for Del Rio who was chokeslammed off the stage and through the table. "RICARDO GET THE TABLES", so transitioning from TNA Wrestling mode. However it was epic, though that Bret Hart gave recognition to Del Rio calling him the "Mexican Bret Hart" not sure how we feel about Del Rio calling Hart "Canadian Del Rio" Regardless this helped Del Rio push his face turn and popularity.

It was most likely all in vain though, since Booker T has plans for the World Heavy Weight title this Friday, which means he'll be defending his title at Elimination chamber. The winner of that will be simple, either Orton or Sheamus, so they can fight at Wrestlemania 29 for the title. I am hoping Orton wins and goes HEEL, thus rekindling the feud between Sheamus and Orton. Sorry Del Rio.
On Raw's side however, we won't see Rock defending his title in a chamber, only against the former champ Cm Punk. Guess you gotta be a movie star in order to fight less guys.
This title change was pretty predictable however, seeing as Cena won the rumble then they had the title match. And we all know that in the WWE Universe, "Once in a life Time" means twice or thrice! Sorry Punk, maybe you can fight Undertaker "Again" and do "Best in The World vs Best Streak in the World"
Great Royal Rumble match though! Kuddos to Y2J and ZIggler, who held on long and hard. Y2j is back baby "And he never lost it". This leaves sadness though that Ziggler won't be able to compete for both titles. I see WWE's point, but a match with Y2J for both titles would be great. The original undisputed champion vs the new!
Punk vs Rock finally saw Punk show how great he can wrestle. He destroyed Rock for much of the match, and then the Shield had to intervene. Punk took advantage picking up the pinfall. The major interference caused the match to be restarted, which saw the Rock win. We thought it would be a clean match, and also thought Rock could last a hour in the ring with Punk, but of course neither of those happened. SXE energy once again proves cleaner than steroid energy.
Spiling over into Raw saw Heyman's review, which was interrupted by non other than Brock Lesnar, who attacked Vince and took him out with a devastating F-5. It would take a blind person not to see Triple H vs Lesnar 2 resulting from this. Let's put Taker and Punk in the match and you got tag team match of the year!

Greatest Review's gives the actual matches of WWE's 2013 Royal Rumble 5 stars out of 5 for a soild show. Great pre show, great opening mid-card, and of course great finale; though it was predicable given the short lived feud between Rock and Punk. And of course it was predicable due to the fact that the Rumble match came before the main event... FINALLY Rock and Cena 2??
Greatest Review's gives the WWE 2013 Royal Rumble Match 5 stars out of 5 for a perfect match. Very unpredictable and teasing throughout! Feuds were ended, feuds were started, and one of best feuds was reignited. Congrats to John Cena, but we all know who you will be facing!

Remember guys "Greatest in Reviewing"

Now we hear the “Cm Punk” chants.

Rock begins with his typical Rock punches until Punk out slams him then Rock counters with clotheslines. Rock takes it to Punk on the floor and goes for the Spanish announce table.

Back and forth cheering and Cm Punk fixes the announce table for Spanish announcers.  Heyman distracts Rock so Punk can take the advantage and once again fixes the announce table.  Punk goes after the Rock’s ribs on the barricade after Rock’s injuries from Shield on Monday.

Punk starts kneeing the Rock in the ribs. First pin fall and it’s a kick out at 2 for the Rock. Punk uses some unique submission to try and choke out the Rock. Now Rock comes back with punches but Punk counters with a heel kick.

A “Knees to faces” “Boots 2 Asses” chants break out. Punk keeps bringing the hurt to Rock! And Heyman again attacks Rock while the Ref is distracted. Punk dropkicks Rock to the outside but injures his knee in the process. Punk then flies off the top rope for a flying forearm but hurts his knee again.

Rock now brings the fight to Punk’s knee back in the ring. Punk hits the best suicide dive ever on Rock. Punk goes for his springboard clothesline and misses and now Rock takes the fight back to the knee.

Punk goes for GTS, Rock counters in sharpshooter, Punk counters again into anaconda vise. Rock escapes and Punk hits Rock with a DDT.  Rock is up first and hits Punk with the sharpshooter and Punk is in pain! Punk makes it to the ropes but his legs give out and falls outside, Rock finally gets Punk on the announce table and Punk kicks him in the head.

Punk signals for the GTS on the table but Rock counters into the Rock Bottom BUT before he can the table breaks! Both men get up and Rock hits the ROCK BOTTOM ON THE FLOOR. Rock rolls Punk back in and gets a 2 count!

Battling Chants again. Punk plays possum and kicks Rock’s head off.  Both men are up and Punk goes for kicks while Rock punches. Now a back and worth punching match which ends up with the Rock flying fore arm then spinbuster. Rock goes for People’s Elbow BUT lights go out. And the Shield is heard triple power bombing Rock through the table. Punk is in the ring laughing, as Rock lies motionless outside.

Cole confronts Punk who’s says “He has nothing to do with Shield”. Punk drags Rock in the ring and goes for the pin and WINS!

PUNK HAS DONE IT!!!! BEST IN THE WORLD He then kicks Rock out of the ring.

BUT WAIT HERE COMES VINCE!

Rock stops Vince from stripping Punk as champ and says “You don’t take the title from him I am, restart the match now!”

Which Vince lets him; NOW Punk is kicking and punching the life out of the Rock. The crowd is screaming “Rocky” Punk hits his high knee and goes for the elbow drop, for a two count!

Punk gets ready for the GTS but Rock counters with another spinebuster! AND HERE COMES THE PEOPLES ELBOW!

1..2….3 AND THE ROCK HAS WON!!!!!! NEW WWE Champion the Rock! 10 years later!

Great pre show, great opening and great midcard and of course great finale, though it was predicable given the short lived feud between Rock and Punk. And of course it was predicable due to the fact that the Rumble match came before the main event... FINALLY Rock and Cena 2??
