Big C featured on Kyle & Gary's Super Awesome Podcast!

Recently I was featured on a podcast with my pals Kyle, Gary, Fridge, and El Dandy. I was asked to preview the Royal Rumble, and stuck around for the entire show. I had a lot of fun! If you're into wrestling, mma, sports, and bad ass dudes, this is the podcast for you!

Big C's Royal Rumble Thoughts

Sorry this is a few days late folks, but I've had a busy couple of days. First off, I'm sure you're all wondering how I did in the Annual Anderson Draw. For those of you who havn't been following along, we(20 of us) put $10 each in to a pot, and each draw two numbers. If the guy who enters at the number you drew wins the Rumble, you win all the money. I drew Yoshi Tatsu, and Chavo Guerrero! I believe this is the biggest screw job since 1997! A big congragelations goes out to Jay Neufeld though. He is this years winner, in only his second year of coming out.
 I enjoyed the Rumble a lot! It was nothing I'd call a classic, but there were some definate highlights! The best part about it was who won. They actually made a main event star with the winner! It wasn'y one of the usual suspects for once(Cena, Orton, Edge, etc), which hasn't been done in a while. I was wrong in my prediction of John Morrison winning, but I was happy to see him look strong anyway. He stole the show early on with some impressive athletisism! I like Alberto Del Rio, and I look forward to seeing what he can do at the main event level. Him, and Edge should be an interesting progrram heading into Wrestlemania. The appearances from Booker T, and Diesel(Keven Nash) were another highlight. I marked out hard for both when they came out, and both received big ovations from the crowd. I'm exited to hear Booker do comentary on the Smackdown brand.
As for the undercard, I found it a little under-whelming. That kinda par for the course at the Royal Rumble though. Maybe my standards are a little high due to my exitement to see the Rumble match, but the other matches at the Rumble always seem lack-luster. I think Edge and Dolph Ziggler was an entertaining contest, but The Miz vs Randy Orton just seemed slow. I was disapointed with the divas match when Eve was announced as the fourth competitor. I got exited thinking I was about to witness the debut of Awesome Kong!
In the end I left very happy. They picked the right guy to win(one of them anyway!), and that's all one can really ask for! Starting now my exitement, and focus will shift toward Wrestlemania 27. You can look forward to about two months of coverage, and lead up to the biggest wrestling event of the year.
