5 reasons New Day Rocks & why them and the WWE has hit a HomeRun!

photo from Bleacherreport.com

IT's A NEW DAY YES IT IS!

As everyone should be well aware, I am a huge fan of the New Day. So 5 things you should know today, is all about the New Day yes it is! So don't be sour and feel the power, clap away all negativity and feel the  5 things that are great about the New Day!

#5. The trombone: This was a bit iffy for me, Xavier comes out lugging this large instrument around and my first reaction was to cringe. Then he belted out Zelda and Final Fantasy, then he would give the long slide sounds along with all the action. The Trombone won the hearts of the +WWE Universe.

#4. The uniforms & track suits. Their gear is very Power Ranger meets Voltron. They are basically right out of a great 80's and 90's cartoon! They match though, this is something I don't think teams understand anymore. Your outfits have to match to be taken as a long term credible team.

#3. Kofi Kingston makes a really good heal. When this first went down I know Woods and Big E could pull the heel role, however I was questionable like everyone else how Kofi would translate. Well the kid found his snarky smile and started skipping to the ring. He is a bit of a semi charming smart ass and it works really well. I am digging this new found side of +Kofi Kingston 

#2. Tag Team Gold. This is important, as long as they have the gold they have a certain level of arrogance that can be used in their favor to draw heat no matter how much the crowd claps and chants.

Drum roll please......................

#1. BIG E & his dancing! Big E has flourished in this group. He has been able to show that he is one of the best in ring workers in the company with this feud with the Dudely Boyz. However it is the dancing that has really put New Day over the top. Big E and his facial expressions are top notch, and it adds to the mood and move set when we get this shaking and grooving going on right before the Big E splash!

Booking Rusev now that his and Lana's engagement is public.

Booking Rusev now that his and Lana's engagement is public.


When Rusev first entered the WWE he was an unstoppable force that dominated the roster. Hitting his stride going into Wrestlemania and his feud with John Cena. He was booked flawlessly, and his matches with Cena were some of the best stuff on TV night in and night out. All the time with Lana at his side.

Rusev would go on to loose the feud with Cena and start his program with Dolph Ziggler, this showed tons of potential as two of the best workers in the company were set to battle it out. Lana was over, the crowd and the we want Lana chants were tremendous, however they slowly faded as Lana and Rusev would break up. This caused both to loose the traction that they once had, and I think it was more harmful to Lana than to Rusev.

As fate would have it the feud with Ziggler never got to materialize into a mixed tag match that would feature Rusev and Summer Rae vs Lana and Ziggler. With Lana on the shelf this feud became very lop sided, and with no Lana staleness set in quick.

Now that Lana has been off TV, Rusev has encountered several set backs, a loss to Cesaro, and this past Monday a loss to the Big Guy Ryback.

This is where WWE should grab the bull by the horns, book Rusev to loose!

WHAT! DC WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!! IT WILL KILL HIS CAREER!

Not so fast! Rusev could handle a couple high profile losses. Have him getting frustrated, have him loosing by strange causes or have someone like Kevin Owens cheat to beat him, let there be a little sympathy from the crowd. Once he has shown his humility and the crown is feeling bad for the still heel Rusev, as we have seen he can draw compassion from the crowd even as a heel.

Once you have that cemented and Rusev is down and out in a high profile match with a top heel; well que the microphone with a loud “RUSEV CRUSH” as Lana walks from the back. Rusev could then hulk up so to speak with his fiance by his side once again, the crown will pop as their beloved Russian Lana makes her way back to the Bulgarian Brute Rusevs side. Rusev will over come his streak, and win the match as the crowd will celebrate with them being reunited. 


This will allow the ever entertaining Rusev and Lana to play to the crowd, they can make a very successful face run, maybe even capture some gold along the way.

Body Slams for Cancer

Hello PowerBomb Nation and welcome, thank you for taking the time to read this very important article, as well as watching this very important video below. As many of you know this subject is very near and dear to me.

Lincoln Fight Factory Wrestling & Academy presents Body Slams for Cancer


Friday October the 9th 2015
Yarborough Leisure Centre, Lincoln
Doors open : 6:30 pm
First Bell: 7:15 pm

In the UK alone there are over 300,000 cases of cancer; 50% survive and the people of the Lincoln Fight Factory Wrestling are convinced that is no where near good enough.


In 2014 he lost his mother to cancer. That year one wrestler decided to take the fight to cancer and thus Body Slams to Cancer was born!


In honor of Dee Mansell Body Slams to Cancer was born, and a trophy was battled for in her honor. This same trophy will be defended in her honor this year on October the 9th.



Last year they were able to raise 2,000 pounds, and this year they target 3,000 pounds! I encourage everyone from around the globe to contribute, contribute any penny you can afford to this great cause and we shall see if Body Slams for Cancer can obliterate this financial goal and help with making cancer tap out for good!

All the workers time or fees ad in most cases both are donated to the cause. Every penny raised will be donated to cancer charities such as, Cavendish Cancer Care, St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospital, and Childhood Cancer Awareness.

An event like this should take more president over any Wrestling event I am aware of, if we could make this event draw 1/16th of what a Wrestle Mania or Summer Slam draws it would be a great success and do so much good for awareness and research.

Everyone has a story of themselves or of someone they know that has been affected by this horrible horrible disease. 

#WhatsYourStory? @LincsWrestling @LincolnDutch #BodySlamsforCancer and take to twitter this week and weekend #PowerBombNation, and make sure every one you know is well aware of this event and what they can do to assist Dutch and Becca w/ Lincoln Fight Factory with this great event they are putting on. 

#MyStory ; I lost my Father in 2006 to cancer, I have lost many uncles and aunts as well as cancer has ravaged my family, as I look down the path and see that my future may very well be the same, I am thankful that people all over the world like Dutch and Becca are there to make a difference.

So starting now Hero's and Villain's will unite under one banner to stop pain and suffering, to give Body Slams to Cancer.

Thank you for your time:

~ DC "Dwight Couch"

Please reach out and support them.

DC's 3 Tag Team's that Transcend Generations



Who are the top three Tag Teams in my book? Well let me share with you what I consider to be 3 of the great tag teams of all time. My grading scale is simple, two performers that can go in the ring, compliment each other perfectly, have the right look, music, and personality factors to be able to be transplanted into any generation! If you can't make the transition to another generation then you are out! After all I will put any of my three up against any three teams you can think of, and in no case would them winning be considered an upset.







#1 Jerishow



 To me this was one of the best pairings of a tag team in the history. Jericho was able to come off as the sarcastic heel, while Big Show as the giant enforcer. It gave you the high flying spots and technical wrestling of Jericho, and it allowed for Show to be a giant, which is one of the things he does best. Big Show is also agile in the ring, and able to bump with anyone in the business. They would be a tough contest for any tag team, and I don't think there is a tag team them beating would bring the word upset to mind either.



#2 Yokozuna & Owen Hart



Same as above, the classic wrestling style of Owen Hart with his braggart mouth, and the size and girth of the former world champion Yokozuna. Speed and power, technique and brute strength. Also the fact you had Jim Cornette at ringside, because a manager can really make or break a tag team, Jim and his tennis racket came in handy as well as My Fuji, whom I believe to be one of the greatest managers ever. Two managers, and two of the best performers to ever grace the squared circle. This is why I think they would survive any generation.



#3 Demolition



To me when their music hit and they came out with the spikes, leather and the wicked face paint it was hard to not be intimidated! As well as being accompanied by one Mr Fuji, who makes my list twice I might add. They had the look, they were complete bad asses and pound for pound two of the best performers.  They could be interprited in any language. Once they hit the ramp and you seen these two beasts walking to the ring, you knew they were hear to kick ass and take names, maybe not even take names! Bill Eadie & Barry Darsow defeated Strike Force for their first Tag Team Championship and never looked back winning multiple titles around the world and competing with legends such as Andre the Giant, Brain Busters, Big Boss Man and Akeem, the Valiant Brothers and many many more.



Honorable mentions:



Brothers of Destruction - This is arguably the greatest team ever formed in the fact that they are story line brothers and just the whole chemistry they have together, and they are both paranormal!



The Dudley Boys - In my opinion the greatest tag team to ever lace up the boots. Hands down, not even close......however, I don't think the Dudley Boys gimmick translates over the generations, this is why I left a few notable teams from the list, such as the Road Warriors, some teams are great and legendary but not all of them could work in every generation.



Tag Team wrestling is one of the best parts of this sport, they tell wonderful stories and when a team has their act together and act as a team, there is nothing more beautiful. I hope that the New Day can assist in the WWE, NXT has all the great teams such as the VaudeVillians. Ohio Valley Wrestling has teams like Reverend Stuart Miles and Adam Revolver. Thanks for letting me rant PowerBomb Nation.



Live Laugh & Listen

Badd Blood set to make History



NWA HISTORY SET TO BE MADE SOON!

What goes into being a Champion?


What makes a great Champion?










What makes someone worthy of being a champion?


Blood, its got to be in your blood, and in the case of today’s article, Badd Blood runs through our veins!

With all the talks of your Seth Rollins, and Jay Lethals; as they were/are currently dual Champions. With CM punks most recent historic WWE Championship run, and Nikki Bella's historic Diva's Championship run. Great accomplishments like this too often get over looked elsewhere, and in the places that matter the most. Today I bring you the story of one mans dream of being in the NWA, and the story of this man making history.

Take this shining example, NWA Pacific North West Champion Badd Blood has held the title for a total of 254 days as of the writing of this article on 9/21/15. The current record is held by The Grappler at 280 days, he is just a little over 25 days of destroying this record! Badd Blood has been a fighting Champion not a paper champion like most others in the business today. He has successfully defended his NWA Pacific North West Championship all over the country, including places like California, Texas, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio & Oregon.



He has defended his championship more places than both the NWA Heavyweight, and North American Titles have been this year! He takes on all challengers and will not back down from anyone, including current NWA Heavyweight Champion Arrick Andrews!





So mark your calender, this historic and ground breaking match will take place on November 1st 2015 in Indiana. If all goes to plan the PowerBomb Nation will be there to support Badd Blood in his quest for immortality within NWA history.  You can view the history of the Pacific North West Championship and the long list of stars whom have held this belt in the link provided below.

A match to define a generation.

Changing the landscape of the Diva wrestling forever.

Flair

versus

Rousey

A match to define a generation.

So as I sit in my chair, drinking morning coffee and waiting for the Extreme Rules event tonight. I fliped on the WWE Network for only $9.99! I catch up on the latest NXT, it starts out strong with Balor in a quick match. Finn Balor has star written all over him; but probably not much more than a great IC title holder one day, probably one of the greatest IC Champs of all time once he does. Maybe he is the one to carry the title with the prestige it deserves.

Kevin Owens cut a promo, pretty good. I think I will become a huge fan of this cat. The best part is, he can go in the ring! I would love to see him and Luke Harper tear down the house!

Then one of the most thought provoking thoughts came to mind as Charlotte Flairs music hit, she let out a WHOOOOO worthy of her father the Nature Boy himself. The crowd was sold, they have bought in to her in a big way. Then it hits me; it hits me like Hogan with a leg drop in the 1988. The match that coud define a generation. When we get to reflect in a few years I think that we have seen the start of what will lead the Diva division into the fore front. First we have Total Divas, a hit show that has drawn interest from non wrestling fans, then we have AJ Lee who may have single handed revived the division by thinking outside the box and drawing attention to it although now retired. #GiveDivasAChance then has the internet world abuzz, and of course we all know that TNA has been proving Divas can put on some of the best matches ever.

So, I digress.... Flair comes out and wrestles a 3 way with Becky Lynch and Bailey which BL won and is now the #1 contender. Great match, but remember what Flair said in an interview weeks ago? She wants to headline a PPV! I think she can, I think she will. Imagine this, Flair vs Rousey. This would have money written all over it and could definitely Headline a PPV as big as the Rumble, Or a Survivor Series!Yes this could be a Wrestlemania co-main event, but would not headline the show. The world of sports could be set on fire by Rousey getting into the squared circle, however when the average person found out that she is wrestling Flairs daughter, heads would explode! Flair is a household name wrestling or not. ESPN would be all over this fight as well, giving pro wrestling another chance to shine.

WWE could invite Rousey to an event, and have her cutting a promo about how she would love to be a pre wrestler, and how she is the worlds baddest female. Flairs music could hit and the feud could start. Give it a solid 2 month build with promos on late night shows, and ESPN.

This could culminate in what would be considered the biggest women's wrestling match in history, months to interview various MMA women and Divas from wrestling past and present! It is a win win for everyone involved and the future of Divas wrestling!  This could be the match that defines a generation.


LIVE UPDATE. ..as I noted in the comments below, Rousey will not be allowed a WWE match for now....so this remains a what could be match. However all contractual obligations come to an end, this will give Charlotte time to develop a name for herself on the WWE main roster, and hopefully holding the title when Rousey becomes available.
