Cyber Sunday 2008 - Undertaker vs Big Show

OK! There is no secret that I like the Undertaker and that I found it pretty stupid to see the Dead Man lose a match against Big Show via Knock Out. I was hoping for a last man standing match and this is exactly what we got to see. Besides the fact that Vickie made a huge mistake in introducing the wrestling match, it was great to see the Undertaker back in the ring and I can not help wondering how his knee is holding out. He did seem to be limping a little and it would be a shame to see another Undertaker absence. In any case, the match was as big as we had hoped. Good old Dead Man got counted a lot of times, a lot more than you would expect. The highlight of the wrestling match was probably the choke slam delivered by Big Show that destroyed a commentator's table. This had one moment that was a little controversial. Undertaker did not get up till the 10 count but he was only merely getting up and it was only a 9 count. The end of the match was excessively boring. We basically saw Big Show hitting and Undertaker getting up every time after long counts. The real end to the match was kind of unexpected. We saw Undertaker using that previously banned submission move and Big Show was out. Unfortunately, I am quite curios to see what happens next as Undertaker does not really look 100%. In any case, this match was not even half as entertaining as the Edge vs Undertaker we saw at Summerslam.

Wrestlemania 24 - 2008 Facts

Wrestlemania 24 does seem to shape up as a huge wrestling event. It is currently the grand stage of all wrestling events around the world. Wrestlemania 24 will happen on March 30 at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, with a seated capacity of 70,000 places. At the moment we have around 100 people that are working 16 hours daily in order to build the Wresltemania set and this will also bring in the largest pyrotechnics display in the history of professional wrestling. To make it even more special, we will see a new steel roof that is being constructed above the ring in order to protect all wrestlers (and hopefully spectators) from rain. This steel roof will also be the set used to hang lights and even a massive video board. We will also see a new wrestling structure built on the North End of the stadium and this is where the entrance ramp will be set up for the wrestler's entrance. WWE wants to end building the entire structure by March 29 in order to make rehearsals for the various technical parts of the show.

What is interesting is that after the show will be over we will need to wait for around 4 days until the entire structure will be pulled down. Then the WWE will immediately start planning for Wrestlemania 25 and various cities are interested in hosting the wrestling show in the future. Orlando is already pushing to host it in around 2012 again and Phoenix wants to host Wrestlemania in 2010. Wrestlemania 25 will be held in Houston, Texas.

The matches for Wrestlemania 24 are also going to be quite interesting. We have a triple threat match for the WWE Championship that features John Cena, Triple H and the current WWE Champion, Randy Orton. Then the undefeated at Wrestlemania Undertaker takes on the Rated R Superstar Edge for the World Heavyweight title. The entertainment match of Floyd "Money" Mayweather vs. Big Show (this should be interesting). A Career Threatening Match for Ric Flair as he takes on Shawn Michaels. The Smackdown vs Raw match will see Batista taking on Umaga. We also have a Belfast Brawl match between Finlay and JBL (I sincerely hope Finlay will win it - he is hard working and should get a win at Wrestlemania). There will also be a match that I will not be watching: BunnyMania Lumberjack Match featuring Candice & Maria vs. The Glamazon & Melina. We also have the Money in the Bank match of course, one that is so far filled with controversy due to Jeff Hardy's suspension. I don't think we will see Jeff in it and we will probably have to see a Money in the Bank Match at Wrestlemania 24 that features: John Morrison, CM Punk, Carlito, Shelton Benjamin, MVP, Chris Jericho (the man that won the Intercontinental title from Hardy and qualified for the match by defeating the same Jeff Hardy) and Mr. Kennedy. Two champs (US and Intercontinental) are put in this Money in the Bank - it should be a huge match.

Hulk Hogan helped Big Show to Lose Weight

Hulk Hogan is one of the biggest factor that helped Big Show in losing weight. It was the WWE Hall of Fame Legend that introduced Big Show to the boxing trainer Artie Artwell from Miami. Big Show wanted to get into boxing and Artie Artwell helped the wrestler lose over 100 pounds. To make it even better, Big Show had one entire year that was smoke free. This is also believed to be one of the reasons why the WWE let the wrestler back in the game. Now one fact that surprised me was that Hulk Hogan took some time to help one wrestling superstar of today.

Big Show at No Way Out 2008

OK! We all expected the Big Show to appear at No Way Out and to see him with a lot of weight lost but we probably did not really expect what happened there. Big Show came out and almost attacked Rey Mysterio although no attack really happened. Then Floyd Mayweather jumped in the ring and eventually gave Big Show a couple of strong shots. Now I did some boxing in my life and those were real strong hits. That did look like a broken nose that Big Show got. Now whatever the case is, we do know that Big SHow has been training and tried to follow a boxing career and now Mayweather in the WWE ring on RAW with a titantron movie and coming on the entrance way is no coincidence. So let me get this straight, whenever somebody calls Floyd Mayweather out he has to retaliate. Now Big Show was probably not the one that should have said he was sorry but hey, who am I to judge? We are going to have a match with Floyd Mayweather versus the Big Show, one on one but we do not know what kind of match it will be. It will surely be at Wrestlemania but will it be a REAL boxing match? In any case, here is what happened at No Way Out:

And here is the episode that made it official, in some way, Floyd Mayweather versus the Big Show:

Big Show is BACK - Slimer than Ever

It has now been confirmed that The Big Show has signed a contract with the WWE and he will soon come back in the ring according to a source that is close to the Big Show. It seems that everything is arranged and the paperwork was completed while the Big Show is back on the WWE roster. We can expect the wrestler to re-appear soon although we might not get to see the same Big Show as before.

Ever since he left the WWE he has been training and trying to see if he can get in a boxing career. This immediately brought up weight loss and he was sighted at some events and fans said that he indeed lost a lot of weight! There were also rumors that Kurt Angle was supporting the idea of getting the Big Show in TNA, where he would have received the longest winning streak till now but it looks like the wrestler decided to go for the same company, the WWE. It will be very interesting to see him back in the squared ring, especially if he did lose a lot of weight as reported.
