Greetings conversationalists across the fruited plain it is I your personal Harvester of Sorrow Phantom Lord and this is the all mighty and important Rant of the Week. According to the file info this is the 50th Rant since it went into syndication on a fine wrestling news site just like the one you are reading right now. It’s taken me over two and a half years to get to this point so I figure I’ll hit the magical 100 mark sometime in 2012 (it would be funny if it went up right around the time the Mayan calendar ends).
Seriously though it’s been an interesting two and a half years and let’s hope the future is the same.
Originally I was going to post this column on Wrestlemania weekend but then I realized everyone and their mother would be posting Wrestlemania predictions columns so there was no point for me to add my two cents. The show was pretty cookie cutter as it goes with who won and who lost. We all knew Ric Flair would be losing. It was a given The Undertaker was going to win. The only real shock was CM Punk winning the MITB and Randy Orton retaining the WWE Title. There wasn’t anything to surprising or shocking other then that. The only thing a lot of us on the net were disappointed in was the lameness of the Finlay/JBL brawl. You have two of the best brawlers ever and there was no blood at all. It was just another run of the mill WWE softcore match. I don’t think any “hardcore” match will ever top Edge vs. Mick Foley, but JBL and Finlay could have come close if they were allowed to really beat the piss out of each other. But hey we did at least get to see JBL launch a trash can at Hornswoggle like it was a missile so there was that.
