I Want Triple H's Book

I've been trying to find this book everywhere. I've wanted it since it came out but I've never been able to find it. I always see so many wrestling books in book stores but never this one. I guess I will have to try to order it online.

Anyways, was different about this book from other wrestling books is when they asked Triple H to write a book he didn't want to write a biography so he decided to write a book about how he trains and how he got into the shape he is in today. So its half autobiographical and half a guide to proper training. 

I think it would be an interesting read. I also just picked up a copy of Hulk Hogan's newest book, I can't wait to read it!

Bret Harts book was probably the best, other good ones were Mick Foley's first book, Hulk Hogan's first book, Ric Flairs, and The Dynamite Kid wrote a great book as well. 

WWE Keeps Punk's Returns A Secret (6 Raw Scripts)

WWE officials went to great lengths to keep the arrivals of both CM Punk and Jim Ross a secret before they aired on RAW. Both talents were hidden from almost everyone in the organization. They were sent to different hotels from everyone else in fear that someone would see them and relay it online. Neither came into the Hampton Coliseum until they were given the cue to appear, both being sequestered somewhere on the premises. They were not even on the sixth and final script for the show and aside from those who had to directly interact with them on television, all performers weren't aware of either of talent being in Hampton, Virginia. Ironically, the arena itself was advertising Punk for the event.

This past Monday's RAW featured the first night that Triple H was "in charge" as well as the returns of John Morrison, Jim Ross and CM Punk.
 
RAW was completely re-written prior to the show going live. There were actually SIX different scripts for RAW that had been circulating throughout the day. One of those scripts had Triple H laying out CM Punk with a pedigree. Of course, that didn't happen. This just goes to show you how much things change on a daily basis in WWE.

As most would assume, the obvious scenario would be to really push CM Punk to the top considering his recent storyline angle and fan interest. With that being said, most of the RAW scripts were not about having CM Punk go over. They were more about pushing Triple H's new "authority figure" role.

As noted, the original RAW script called for CM Punk to be attacked by Triple H with a pedigree. Alberto Del Rio would then have come out and cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase against John Cena at SummerSlam. This would have put Triple H over as a major heel and then led to a storyline with CM Punk.

Of course, all scripts besides one were scrapped and that's what you saw on Monday night.

Triple H & Dolph Ziggler's Birthday!

Dolph Ziggler 31

Triple H 42.

 
Two of my favourite wrestlers celebrated their birthdays today. 

Dolph Ziggler 31

Triple H 42.

When Dolph was dating 
one of the Bella Twin

Dolph Ziggler is one of the best wrestlers in the WWE today. It doesn't matter who he is sent out to fight, he always makes them look great, like they are just destroying him. He flies all over the ring looking like he is about to loose his title at any minuate and yet he always finds a way to win. Personally though I think Dolph should drop the whole Vickie storyline and find a hotter manager already. I mean he had Maria, he was dating one of the Bella Twins, last I heard he was dating some porn star lol, but I mean there are plenty of hotter managers than Vickie lol. 

He's won the Intercontinental Championship

He's won the United States Championship

He even briefly held the World Heavyweight Championship which he won from Edge in a match where if Edge used his finishing move the Spear he would lose the title, and of course that is exactly what happened. However, Edge won the title back very quickly lol.

Wrestlemania 18 when Triple H beat Chris Jericho to win both titles... 
and I was there!

Maryse Has A Stalker

WWE star Maryse Ouellet claims an "extremely disturbing and delusional" man is OBSESSED with her ... and now she's asked a judge for protection after he allegedly promised to "take me to heaven with him."

Maryse -- a WWE diva who's been romantically linked with former WWE champion The Miz -- filed a request for a permanent restraining order against 61-year-old Lee Silber ... claiming he has sent "numerous terrifying letters to my home and left more than 50 voicemails on my personal cell phone all of which are extremely disturbing and delusional."

In one of the letters Maryse claims she received from Silber, he promises to "not only give you a check for $100,000, but give you a 100 carat diamond ring worth $20,000,000 to prove I am your friend."

Maryse says Silber's letters have gotten scarier over the last few weeks ... with Silber promising that he will be "coming to LA for me" ... and will "take me to heaven with him."

In the docs, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Maryse states, "I fear for my life." 

Maryse tells TMZ she's beefed up security at her home recently ... calling Silber a "crazy stalker ... who needs to either be in a psychiatric hospital or jail!"

 

CM Punk Returns!

Just as John Cena defeated Rey Mysterio to win his record setting 9th WWE Championship, the real WWE Champion CM Punk walked out to confront him. CM Punk had an awesome new entrance, still wearing his cool new shirt saying that he is the 'best in the world.' His new music is "Cult Of Personality" (by Living Colour). Most important, CM Punk was wearing the REAL WWE Championship belt, now with his name on the name plate instead of John Cena's. My interpretation of this, CM Punk must have been rehired by Triple H and given an official belt name plate and is now wearing his shirt, walking out to his new entrance and challenging the man with the 'fake' WWE Championship, John Cena. 

This makes me wonder, if CM Punk is the 'real' Champion then is John Cena really a 9 time WWE Champion? Also, has Rey really won the WWE Championship? Neither of them has defeated the Champion CM Punk and CM Punk only missed about 1 week so its not like he didn't defend his title for a month (which is considered the mandatory limit for a title defense).  

When CM Punk go into the ring, and face to face with John Cena, Cena held up his WWE Championship to a  mixed reaction from the crowd. CM Punk then raised his WWE Championship to a unanimous cheer from the entire WWE Universe. Thus proving who the 'real' Champion is in my opinion. Well I think its a safe guess there will be a Champion vs Champion main event at SummerSlam! 

New Entrance

Cena Wins WWE Championship (Record 9 Times)

The biggest announcement that Triple H made on Raw wasn't the return of Jim Ross or the return of John Morrision. It was when he announced that John Cena would be getting his WWE Championship rematch! Since CM Punk left the company with the Championship, Cena was never able to get his rematch. Therefore, after Rey won the Championship Triple H decided to award Cena his rematch for the WWE Championship against Rey Mysterio!

This was actually a great match. Possibly the two most popular stars on Raw and in the WWE fighting against each other for the 'richest prize in the business.' It was quite the main event for Raw. Of course, John Cena won the match. Though there were a few highlights, Rey hit Cena with the 619 before missing the Ironman dive. Rey also put Cena into Cena's submission hold the STF, but Cena powered out of it. Eventually, the enviable happened, and Cena hit Rey with the Attitude Adjustment and got the 3 count in the middle of the ring to win the WWE Championship for a record setting 9th time! The previous record of 8 was held by none other than Triple H.

Clearly, this was a historic Raw. New WWE Champion was crowned in the opening match. Rey Mysterio won the WWE Championship for the first time ever. Jim Ross Returned. John Morrision returned. A second WWE Championship match took place. The two most popular good guys in the company faced each other one on one in a Championship match. 

But perhaps the best part was still yet to come?

John Morrision Returns

Triple H later announced to R-Truth that another WWE Superstar had been re-hired (though this superstar was never fired lol just injured and had neck surgery because of R-Truth!)... and that superstar was John Morrision. He walked out on the ramp, received a huge cheer from the crowd, then attacked R-Truth. It is good to see him back but it seems a little fast considering he just had neck surgery. Still, I am happy to see him back. He is one superstar that I think is underrated and never been given a chance to really reach the top of his potential. 

Last years Royal Rumble Morrison stole the show with all of his amazing ways of not quite touching the floor, hanging upside-down, and diving over the floor to the guard rail and back to the steps and into the ring. I think he should have won the Rumble instead of Alberto Del Rio which would have put him in the main event of Wrestlemania instead of Del Rio. I think it would have been a perfect fit since the WWE Champion at the time was The Miz, who just happens to be Morrison's former Tag-Team partner. This is a rivalry that is obviously going to draw a great match, and you add Cena into that match and its a great main event.

The PPV between the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania is now the Elimination Chamber (formerly known as No Way Out). Again, at this PPV Morrison stole the show by not only climbing on top of the corner chamber to jump on Sheamus , but then when Sheamus climbed up after him to give him the Pale Justice throw off the chamber, Morrison got away by climbing straight up the dome chamber to the highest point in the center and dropping straight down onto Sheamus' head. This should have been the conclusion of the match as it was the clear highlight of the match and Morrision's lifeless body should have landed sprawled across Sheamus' lifeless body for the 3 count and the win making him the WWE Champion going into Wrestlemania to face The Miz and Cena. 

At least that's my opinion. it will be interesting to see what the WWE does with him now that he is back.

Zack Ryder Defeats The King Of Kings?

New WWE Chairman, Triple H, delivered his 'state of the WWE address' on Raw. He congratulated Rey on winning the WWE Championship for the first time in his career. He then said he had re-hired a former WWE employee, Jim Ross walked out. Michael Cole threw a temper-tantrum about it. Triple H told Cole to go to the back and get ready for his next match. Cole returned to "The King Of Kings" entrance, wearing Triple H's tights. He even tried to spit the water. 

His opponent... Zack Ryder!

When Zack Ryder's music hit he got a huge pop from the crowd which had been demanding to see him on Raw for months. Zack seemed extremely pumped up for the match. He hit the ring and immediately hit Cole with his finisher called the "Rough Ryder" which is basically a standing jump over his opponent where he basically hits a high impact "Famasser"/leg-drop. He then got the 3 count on Cole and won the match and received a huge cheer from he crowd.

I think Zack was wearing his new shirt and did the fist pump and the WOO WOO WOO much to the crowds delight. I think he is finally back on Raw and after this reaction it will be hard for the WWE to ignore his rising popularity any longer.

In my opinion, first he should go back to the one legged tights lol. Also, he should defend the "Internet Championship" on Raw. Hell, I think he should go title for title against Dolph Ziggler (who's new entrance music on Raw sucked btw) and I think Zack should win the match and the United States Championship! Dolph should get so upset because somehow Vickie cost him the match that he dumps Vickie on the spot. Zack could call himself the 'United States Internet Champion' haha and merge the two titles! 

Flashback... 

For those of you who don't remember, Zack Ryder started out as part of Edge's team of look-a-likes known as Ryder and Hawkins. They didn't last long but they did win the Tag-Team Championships during their time together. 

 

After that was over, Zack abandoned the Edge look for his own original look. He cut his hair and change his look drastically. He even invented the one-leg tights look haha. For those of you TNA fans, Zack was Robbie E before there was Robbie E lol (Robbie E being a rip-off of the show Jersey Shore). Zack has that "Long Island Iced Z" character down and I think its time he got a push on Raw as a major player!

Rey Mysterio Wins WWE Championship

This Monday on Raw the finals for the WWE Championship tournament was held. The show started with Rey Mysterio and The Miz competing in the finals for the vacated WWE Championship. 

It was a great match, but Miz was still suffering the effects of his knee injury from when he fell off the top of the ladder at the Money In The Bank PPV and the crowd was behind Rey to finally put an end to The Miz. That is exactly what Rey did. Rey hit the 619 then his Ironman like dive off the top rope and a splash onto The Miz. Rey got the 3 count clean in the middle of the ring to defeat The Miz in the final round of the tournament which was the last act of former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. With this victory, Rey became the WWE Champion for the very first time in his career!

However, as soon as Rey won the title, Miz jumped him from behind after the match and left him laying dead in the ring. Then, of course, Alberto Del Rio's music hit and he rushed to the ring carrying his Money In The Bank briefcase ready to cash it in and take advantage of a weakened Rey. Shockingly, Rey launched himself out of the ring and onto Del Rio who was stunned and retrieved his briefcase and ran away, presumably to bide his time and wait for a better opportunity when he could be more successful.

As Rey walked back behind the curtain, every Raw superstar, who had been watching the match on the monitor backstage and cheering him on, were all waiting to congratulate him as soon as he made his way to the back. Then John Cena walked over and shook his hand before everyone else could start pouring champagne all over Rey as a wild celebration took place.... 

Too bad Rey's title reign would only last about an hour...
