Sharp Shootin Weekly

Hello folks. Thanks for stopping by this week. I have a lot to talk about this week. The news was rolling in all week at the Sharp Shootin Headquarters. I already posted my thoughts on Wrestlemania 27. If you havn't checked it out yet, you can do so here. Even though this year's Wrestlemania was a big let down, there was plenty of interesting stories developing in the days that followed.

Rock vs Cena At Wrestlemania 28!
-So, it turns out that this year's Wrestlemania main event was used to set up a big announcement for Raw the next night! Does this not seem like a WCW like move? Maybe because they were in Atlanta, they thought they would try things the WCW way! In case you didn't catch it, they announced on Raw this week that The Rock will make his in-ring return to face John Cena at Wrestlemania 28! So they have booked the next Wrestlemania main event 1 year in advance. This is a really ballsy move considering alot can happen in a year, especially when it comes to pro wrestling! I have mixed feelings about this. How are they possibly going to keep this interesting for an entire year? How often is The Rock actually going to appear? One thing is for sure, this is the biggest match that they could possibly book! This is comsidered a dream match by many, and should draw huge numbers for the show. I think it'll be interesting how much social media(facebook, twitter, etc) will be used in furthering the angle. This would be a good way for WWE to make some head way in that area. One way or another, this kind of thing has never been done before, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Crazy Kurt Angle!
- A couple of weeks ago, Kurt Angle was found in a ditch on a North Dakota highway, passed out in his car. This coming about a year after he received a DUI. Like many wrestlers, Angle has taken to Twitter as a way to connect with his fans. During Wrestlemania, Angle sent out a few tweets about WWE competitors using moves that he considers his. For example:
* To WWE wrestlers, Don't use my Finish. Get more Creative. Hmmmm- Orton. Did I say that?

* I heard Orton had an Awesome match though. Ur welcome. Lol.

* I guess Swagger will use my Ankle Lock as well.Very creative. I'm the Best in the World. You Guys will never be Kurt Angle.can I get an AMEN

* Kurt Angle will never die. TNA. WWE. I'm a leader. Not follower. :)

* Why would WWE use my finishes? Is it because I won't go back? R Orton- Angle Slam. M Cole- Ankle Lock? They have some nerve.

* Jerry Lawlor did it too. But He is a Legend. WWE really stuck it to Me.No Love lost. I'm glad that I helped Your biggest Event of the Year:)

Now, all that is crazy enough, but the craziest part came when all the backlash hit, and he stated that his Twitter was hacked! To that CM Punk tweeted "my twitter account was hacked", is the new: "I'm a sloppy drunk douche".  Later Kurt changed his story to his twitter account being used by a family member. I think there's a good chance he may have tipped a few back while watching the show, and start shooting his mouth off. It's been a pretty rough month for the olympic gold medalist, hopefully this turn around for him soon.

Scott Hall Does His Best Jake Roberts!

 

- This story begins last week, when asked if he was attending the WWE Hall Of Fame ceremony, Scott Hall said no because it would be detrementle to his sobriety. Then on Tuesday it was reported that Hall had been hospitalized due to a drug overdose! Sadley, Hall is in bad financial shape, and didn`t want to miss a booking he had in the New England area, so he checked himself out of the hospital to make the event. Hall showed up in really rough shape. He was scheduled to sign autographs before the show, which he was too wasted to do, so they were letting fans take pictures with him, which for many he couidn`t even keep his eys open. He later appeared in the ring which was described as very sad. Here is some footage from the event.

Hall has since been hospitalized again. I really hope he can get sober, and stay that way. We don`t need another Jake Roberts! The saddest part is that the guy needs money, and has no other way to get it! The healthiest thing for him would be to just stay away from the business, but it`s all the guy has ever known. Sad stuff!

Morrison Snubs Stratus With The Whole World Watching!

- By now, if you`ve been following along you`d know I`m a big fan of Morrison`s. He`s an amazingly athletic guy, who`s been putting together some very impressive matches lately(Sheamus, Miz, Ziggler, etc), and seemed to be rising up the card. He may have just committed career suicide at Wrestlemania, by snubbing Trish Stratus. It all stems from Morrison`s real life girlfriend Melina being held off the card from this year`s `mania, while Trish, who hasn`t been an active competitor in several years, was given a match on the card where she teamed with Morrison, and Jersey Shore`s Snooki, against Dolph Ziggler, and Laycool.  Apparently before the show, Morrison shot down all of Trish`s suggestions for the match, and after the match during their celebration, Trish went to hug Morrison, but he snubbed her in the middle of the ring! Trish is very well liked by management, where as Melina constantly has heat backstage.  This seams like a very poor political move for Morrison, and I expect to see him punished by being burried on tv. I think it might be time for Morrison to dump the heat rod, and maybe then he assend to the top of the card where he belongs!

Sin Cara Debuts!

- On Raw this week(and again on Smackdown) we saw Sin Cara(formerly Mistico) debuted with a run in. I can`t wait to see him wrestle a whole match for the WWE. These run ins were like a teaser of some of the spots he can pull off. For those of you who missed it, here is his debut attack on Sheamus from Monday night:

Well that`s all for this week folks. It was heavy week, as it usually is after Wrestlemania. I`m going to do my best to have this as a weekly forum for me to talk about what`s going on in the wild world of wrestling!
