Mark Henry Strongest Man On WWE

We got to see the true power of the world's strongest man Mark Henry on this Smackdown. 

A video marked "earlier today" showed Mark Henry pulling one semi-truck 20 feet outside of the arena (much like they do in strong-man competitions). Wrestlers that were visible cheering Henry included both Prime Time Players and Damien Sandow. They showed that later on, he would attempt another world record. However, clarification for that wss never given to the crowd at this point.

The video went back to the outside showing Mark Henry again, but this time it appeared live because it was dark outside. There are two semi-trucks behind him and Mark Striker announced that Henry will try to set a world record by pulling not one, but two semi-trucks at the same time. They stated this has never been attempted before and is the equivalent of pulling 110,000 lbs. (55 tons). Henry initially had trouble, and it became apparent that he was frustrated about it. Of note, the Prime Time Players and Sandow were still outside cheering him on as he attempted the record.

Striker asked Henry if he would give up and Henry snapped back that Striker doesn't believe he can do it, nor the people in the arena, either. He attempted again and the trucks began to move. They made it to the 20-foot mark and he collapsed. Wrestlers and paramedics (who appeared to be plants) checked to make sure he's okay. He got up and seemed okay at that point. Lilian Garcia then announced to the live crowd to congratulate Mark Henry for setting a world record.

We can say that Mark Henry is the strongest man on WWE. On Extreme Rules its going to be Mark Henry vs Sheamus on a strap match. The rule is to tie both opponents with a strap and the one who touches all four corners simultaneously wins. Will Sheamus find a way to beat the world's strongest man in his own game, we have to wait patiently to find out. 

Kofi Kingston Wins United States Championship on WWE Raw

Kofi Kingston knocked out Antonio Cesaro with a Trouble in Paradise to win the United States title in the best match on Monday's WWE Raw.

Kofi opened the match on the offensive.

He chopped Cesaro to the ground. He flew at the champion. He threw out his best moves early, trying to steal a win from the Swiss powerhouse.

After Cesaro caught him with a mid-air uppercut, the champion took control.

He ground down his opponent, scraping his boot against Kofi's face and using his power advantage to punish him. Cesaro later grew overconfident as he began to toy with Kofi, pushing him around dismissively.

Kofi soon landed an S.O.S. and Cesaro only managed to survive by grabbing the bottom rope.

The pace of the match quickened from that point and both Cesaro and Kofi worked to suck the audience into their battle. They traded near falls and escaped each other's moves in a series of slick counters. The flurry to end their match was the most exciting thing the letdown episode offered.

Cesaro became punch-drunk after some of Kofi's blows.

He finally succumbed to Kofi's second Trouble in Paradise of the night, losing the match and the title he has held since SummerSlam 2012.

Despite loosing the match, Cesaro vs Kofi's match can be counted as one of the best match of 2013 in Monday Night Raw. The only thing left to see is whether Cesaro will retain his Champion Belt like Wade Barrett did or loose his rematch.

The Shield Vs The Nexus

The Shield is a professional wrestling stable in WWE, consisting of Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns. The group debuted in November 2012 at the Survivor Series pay-per-view in a match between Ryback and Cm Punk.

• Objective of The Shield

           Fight for what they perceive as injustice in WWE.

• Finishing moves

           Triple Powerbomb (Aided powerbomb, sometimes through a table)
           Flying Antelope (Bow & Arrow Hold by Ambrose & Springboard knee smash by   

           Rollins)
           Aided spear, usually executed by Reigns

• Nicknames

           The Shield of Justice
           The Hounds of Justice

• Accomplishments

           NXT Champion 1 time (Seth Rollins)

           Undefeated as a group (10-0)

The Nexus was a heel professional wrestling stable in the professional wrestling promotion, WWE, that competed on its Raw brand. The group originally consisted of all eight rookies of NXT season one and shifted their roster several times throughout their existence.

• Objective of The Nexus

           To obtain WWE contracts for all its members

• Finishing moves

           Every superstar had their own finishing move as an individual. There was no any group  

           finisher. 

• Accomplishments

           WWE Tag Team Champions (3 Times) - John Cena and David Otunga, Heath  

           Slater and Justin  Gabriel, David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty

           NXT winner (season one) - Wade Barrett

           Slammy Award for Shocker of The Year (2010) - The Debut of The Nexus 

Both The Shield and The Nexus were pretty impressive when they first made their debut in WWE and headlined many PPVs. Both the team performed very well as a group but The Nexus made much impact and they have had more accomplishments compared to The Shields. So the winner in my view is The Nexus.

Big Show and WWE Sued for Alleged Violent Incident

WWE star Big Show is being sued for and alleged real-life incident of violence which may have put the giant superstar, as well as his company of employment, in a very difficult position.

According to Bleacherreport, WWE producer Andrew Green is suing Big Show and the WWE for a situation that occurred on Jan. 27, as Big Show allegedly assaulted Green when asked to perform a backstage interview for the WWE's website.

The alleged incident occurred following Big Show’s World Heavyweight Championship Last Man Standing match against Alberto Del Rio at the Royal Rumble pay per view at the U.S. Airways Center in Phoenix.

Green was told by another producer to interview Big Show, but things reportedly went sour from there.

Green claims that Big Show refused to do the interview until Green told him that then-WWE creative head Eric Pankowski requested him to do so. According to Green's complaint, Big Show used profane language toward him and assaulted him physically.

WWE News: Jack Swagger's trial date for DUI set

WWE star Jack Swagger is scheduled for his first court date on June 25 for charges stemming from his arrest for DUI on February 19 after leaving a Smackdown taping in Mississippi according to http://www.sunherald.com/2013/04/10/4584321/wrestler-jack-swagger-set-for.html. The Sun Hearld story states that city prosecutor Kirk Clark "always recommends the maximum sentence of two days in jail for first-time offenders and completion of victim-impact classes."

He would have been suspended for 60 days by WWE immediately but he had just won Elimination Chamber match that Sunday to become the no.1 contender for the Heavyweight Championship match. WWE couldn't afford to suspend him then since WrestleMania season was on and they needed to make a good built up story between Del Rio and Jack Swagger.

This is not the first time warning for Jack Swagger, he was suspended before by WWE talent relation for violation of Welfare Policy and this is his second offence so far. If he is caught doing something like this again, WWE may not tolerate his actions anymore.

What to Look Out For This Week's SmackDown on April 12

After WrestleMania 29 on Sunday showcased some legendary matches,Monday Night Raw provided us with more shocking twists and even the Dolph Ziggler cash-in that we've all been waiting for. 

Luckily for those who can't wait to see where some of the suddenly compelling storylines are headed next, we bring you match up for this week's SmackDown.

There will be a match between Dolph Ziggler and Chris Jericho as the main event for the championship.

Another match will be between Team Hell No and Prime Time Players.

Wade Barrett will face Santino Marella

Bella Twins and Tamina faces The Funkadactyls and Kaitlyn

Sheamus and Randy Orton Vs The Big Show

Kofi Kingston vs Antonio Cesaro.

Triple H will also come down to the ring to make a speech about his match at WrestleMania but  gets interrupted by the 3 Man Band (3MB) and out of nowhere The Shields tries to attack Triple H but Team Hell No comes to the rescue. We may get a chance to see a Hug it Out by Triple H.

TRIPLE H - I Suffered 2nd Degree Burns ... at Wrestlemania XXIX

Triple H suffered 2nd degree burn last weekend at Wrestlemania. The burn was caused by dry ice. He suffered nasty burns to his torso and arm after he walked through a special effects machine that was blasting dry ice to create a smoky effect as HHH made his grand entrance.

The dry ice stuck to HHH's body and burned him up, but during the event, Triple H ignored the pain and shrugged it off like it was no big deal. 

We recommend Triple H to use a smoke machine to generate smoky effect instead of dry ice machine next time he decides to make a grand entrance.

Aftermath of Cena Shell Shocked

On Monday night Raw right after Wrestlemania, John Cena was booed out by the crowds when trying to address the WWE Universe. Many fans didn't like the fact that John Cena was the WWE Champion. His role has been the same for nearly a decade now, the universe demanded for Cena to make a heel turn.

Unfortunately WWE can't afford to give Cena a heel turn so instead they tried to make Ryback the bad guy by making him attack Cena. The results were completely opposite of what WWE creative department thought it would be. Ryback got support from the entire audience of New Jersey. Looks like days of John Cena as a top face of WWE will soon come to an end if John Cena can't bring something new and exciting.

Still on the topic, after the Shell Shocked given by Ryback to Cena it looks like a feud will develop between Ryback and Cena, but the Rock is yet to have his Wrestlemania title rematch, so it is wise to say that we may have a triple threat match for the WWE championship. But we can't take Mark Henry out of the equation. Ryback already has a lot of heat with Mark Henry and him attacking both Henry and Cena at the same night could mean a feud between the four superstar for the WWE championship at Extreme Rules.

Dolph Ziggler Shows the World...

Dolph Ziggler is the new World Heavyweight Champion. Finally he cashed in his money in the bank contract on this week's Raw to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. 

After a career that’s been full of ups and downs, of unlimited potential and bitter disappointments, Dolph Ziggler has been the given the opportunity of a lifetime, as he has now been given the gold in WWE. He has pretty much earned it.

After many lost opportunities Dolph has finally got a chance to show-off his new championship. He should take the moment and just enjoy it.  Because now that he has the gold, his fate is not only in the hands of WWE, but it’s also in the hands of the fans.

The question is will Dolph be a better champion who can give WWE the spark it needs? And what will happen now between Dolph and Del Rio?  And is Jack Swagger out the the feud for the championship?

Wrestlemania XXIX

WrestleMania XXIX left many fans at the metlife stadium disappointed. Many of the outcomes were too predictable and some were not satisfying.

Some matches like CM punk vs The Undertaker, The Shields vs Randy Orton, Sheamus and The Big Show, Fandango vs Jericho had the Wrestlemania touch to it but other matches like Mark Henry vs Ryback, Team Hell No vs Dolph and Big E. Langston, and Triple H vs Brock Lesnar was rather disappointing.

The really disappointing match was the main event The Rock vs John Cena, it was supposed to be a once in a life time match. Which part of once in a lifetime do the creative department team don't understand? Some fans even left the stadium before the main event to boycott Rock vs Cena part 2.

The pre-show was started well with Wade Barrett defending his IC title against the Miz, which the Miz won and was a really good start for Wrestlemania  as many were expecting Wade Barrett to retain his title.

WWE needed to make the Shields a force to be reckoned with so they have made them undefeated till now which is good for both the company and WWE universe. 

Mark Henry vs Ryback was a good buildup match, but the match didn't get the crowd very excited as it should have been. Its Wrestlemania so the superstars should give it their all to make this time memorable.

Another match was between Fandango and Jericho, Fandango had his debut match in this Wrestlemania so if he lost this match, he would have been a laughing stock of WWE because of his fancy entrance and gimmick.  

Big E. Langston was undefeated in his NXT carrier but was defeated in his debut? This was rather shocking given the fact that he could be the next big deal in the WWE. They could have been the tag team champion and Dolph could have been the World Heavyweight Champion in the same night. It would have been memorable this way.

Brock Lesnar since returning has had the opportunity to only perform three times and lost in his first match against Cena, won the second match against Triple H and again lost a Wrestlemania match against Triple H. If he had won the match WWE could have given the fans something to talk about for years but unfortunately it didn't happen.

Del Rio vs Jack Swagger was satisfactory and the results were predictable because Jack Swagger was caught DUI of marijuana and he should have been suspended but because of being the no.1 contender he was not suspended. The story line was for Jack Swagger to become the Heavyweight champion but he made a huge mistake and paid the price. It was surprising to see Dolph not attempting to cash his money in the bank contract in the grandest stage of the all. 

The most memorable match was between CM Punk and The Undertaker. It was a really emotion fulled match and the only question in the mind of the fans were will the streak end at the hands of Punk or will the dead man prevail. The dead man once again proved why Wrestlemania is called the show of the immortals by  extending his streak to 21-0.
