Y2Jant's Wrestlemania XVII Predictions

Well ladies and gentlemen, it's that time of the year again for every wrestling fan known to mankind. This Sunday, Wrestlemania returns and the card is a good one (In my opinion). So what does old Y2Jant have to say about the matches? Well, here's what I think will happen this Sunday.

Kane, The Big Show, Santino and Kozlov vs. The Corre

Interesting way to have an 8 man tag team match. Whatever, we have to have a match like this at Mania somehow right? Anyways, I think The Corre will get the win on this match, hands down.

Winner: The Corre

Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan for the U.S. Title

Alright, now here's a match I'm looking forward to. Bryan lost the title to Sheamus (who has been on a losing streak before winning the title) and these two can make this match a good one. Regardless on how much I hate Sheamus, I have to give him the win for this night.

Winner: Sheamus

Snooki, Trish and Morrison vs. Dolph Ziggler and Laycool

I can't really say much for this match but it's all about the press for Snooki. Imagine all the people that actually watch that show just to see this match. I tell ya, a lot of money and I have to give the win towards Snooki and her team.

Winner: Team Snooki

Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes

Oh man, now we are talking a nice match right here. Will Rhodes get his revenge? Or will Mysterio get the win on the grandest stage of them all? Well, this is going to be a good match, but I have to side with the former dashing one, I think he will win.

Winner: Cody Rhodes

Randy Orton vs. CM Punk

Ah, a match that can really go either way on this one, I have to go with Orton on this one.

Winner: Randy Orton

Jerry Lawler vs. Micheal Cole (with Jack Swagger) Special Guest Ref: Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Man, I'm really hating on Cole right now, I have to give it to The King, hands down, end of story.

Winner: Jerry Lawler

Triple H vs. The Undertaker in a No Holds Barred Match

Hm, very interesting bit of history right here. My first Wrestlemania I saw on pay per view was indeed Wrestlemania X-7 and these two had a good match back then. Ten years later, they are at it again. Regardless, I believe Taker will be 19 and 0 at Wrestlemania.

Winner: The Undertaker

The Miz vs. John Cena for the WWE Champion

Here we go, The Miz will defend his title against John Cena at Mania, but after what happened on Raw, will The Great One make an appearance during the match? Only time will tell and this is one match I can't really call. On one hand, if Miz wins, he will continue to rant and talk how great he is. On the other hand, Cena will win the title again and feud with Miz. And god only knows what might happen when Rock shows up. I have to side with Miz on this one. But just barely.

Winner: The Miz

Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio for the World heavyweight Championship

I knew Del Rio was going to be a great wrestler in WWE but now, he could be greater. He promised since he first debuted that he will make it his destiny to have the title. But he has to defeat the Rated R Superstar to get it. Funny how it was last year that Edge faced Jericho for the same title, Edge being the Rumble winner and still lost. Now we must see of Del Rio will make history. Siding with him on this match.

Winner: Alberto Del Rio

Well, those are my predictions for this Sunday. And, I will be making a return on a certain program actually to give my thoughts, opinions and make sure that everyone still remembers Y2Jant!!!

Reaction To: Monday Night Raw

Well, a few times a week, a quick blog about what happened on Raw, Smackdown and Impact. Looks like I have some things to say.

John Cena giving the AA to The Rock was big, very big. Bigger then most things. So big that my buddy and good friend Lexicon likes Cena for what he did. And I don't blame him for hating on Rock. I admit, Rock returning was huge for me, knowing that I grew up a fan of him and when he left, I knew he wanted to do movies.

On the other hand, I became a fan of Cena before he became "Super" Cena and at least entertained us when Rock wasn't around.

With Wrestlemania just a few days away from this post, it will be interesting to see how the Cena/Miz match is going to end now that Rock has his sights on Cena. Can revenge be in the future? Or will after Wrestlemania, will we see Rock ever again? Only time will tell to see what happens next.

NOTE: I am planning to change the title of these short blogs, Reaction To is too boring for me.

3DS Sells More Then Any Nintendo Handheld

Well, to have even more fun news to report, the Nintendo 3DS has record sells that surpassed those of previous handhelds released by Nintendo. Looks like Nintendo is riding that ball pretty damn high I see. Even with reports that there has been some minor problems, the 3DS is still proving to be a great seller.

Now I'm wondering how things are going to be like when better 3DS games are released in the next few months. Looks like we will find out more when E3 starts to come closer then ever before.

The Man Called Dax

Well, out of boredom and nothing new to talk about until Monday Night Raw tonight, I think I should blog about my best friend and fellow wrestling and video game fan: Dax.

Hailing from the upside of Canada, Dax is the man to have a good talk to including bad English and the rare I like to throw food at people. But more so, he is a musician and a gamer who wishes to be the next Kurt Cobain of pizza (Insert funny laugh here)

Besides owning a Wii and a semi PS3, he is also a lover of music, from the heavy sounds of Avenged Sevenfold to the classic sounds of The Doors or even some Money of Pink Floyd, Dax has the taste of music I wish most people have nowadays.

And yes, he wants Beiber to die as well

Nintendo 3DS and You

Well folks, today is the day every American has been waiting for since last year. The Nintendo 3DS, the handheld system that promised the use of 3D without the glasses, is finally released in America and with preorders doubled from that when the Nintendo Wii came out, I'm not surprised that it's a hit.

Now for what I think. The system is good (just needs some more battery power) but the games currently available won't get me into the system just yet. With the new Paper Mario 3D, Ocarina of Time 3D and Super Mario Bros. 3D coming out in the near future, then it will get me into the system.

This Week In Wrestling

Now then, the real reason besides video games is to blog about what happened this week in wrestling, where I will talk about Raw and Smackdown, as well as that other show I won't mention here much, maybe. Well, here we go.

Raw

What can I say about Raw this week when it comes down to Miz and Cena. Tricking the people that he was home, Cena made his appearance and tried to beat down Miz and Riley. But Miz ran away as Cena looked ready to fight with all his might. But what really got a lot of people talking is the fact that The Rock will appear next week and will indeed confront John Cena face to face, I am excited for this. No more jokes, time to settle the score next week!

Impact

Now, I know that I don't watch much of TNA anymore, thanks to it's crappy stuff that even I don't really understand but I did catch a few things here and there going on between Sting, RVD and Mr. Anderson. Man, just pick a number one contender already please, jeez. Maybe next week I will actually watch and see what the heck is going on.

Smackdown

I missed Smackdown this week but lucky me, recording shows is a blessing. Looks like Del Rio is going to have a problem with Edge after all. Things are going south for the number one contender as Edge now has the upper hand but will things change next week, we are nearing Wrestlemania now and things are going to get heated up!

That's me for this week, tune in to each respected show and find out what's going to happen, I will give my predictions for Wrestlemania in the next few days.

NOTE: Sadly, Raw was suppose to perform here in my town in August but sadly they had to cancel. Ah well, that's the business for you

Y2Jant's Classic Movie Review: Batman Forever

Ah yes, welcome to a new segment of my blog where I look at some classic movies from the past. This time, we look back at the movie that made me into a fan of Batman and that is Batman Forever.

When it was released, my parents took me to see the movie and with it's cheesy moments, Batman Forever stood in my mind at that time, the best movie I have ever seen in my young life at the time.

The plot is Batman taking down the villains of Two-Face and The Riddler but more importantly, adding Robin into the mix. And to put the cherry on top of the ice cream, Batman is struggling with himself. Should he choose to stay Batman or leave the persona forever? One of my favorite quotes from the movie is this from Batman:

"Poor Edward. I had to save them both. You see, I'm both Bruce Wayne and Batman. Not because I have to be. Now... because I choose to be."

This will always remain my favorite movie of all time because it made me the fan of Batman I am today.

Next Week on Rock Band DLC

Well, now that everything is doing okay, I have decided, why not, and post my thoughts every Friday about the upcoming songs for Rock Band 3, plus anything else that seems interesting.

Days of Peace Pack 01
• Jefferson Airplane – “Somebody to Love”
• Blood, Sweat & Tears – “Spinning Wheel”
• Santana – “Black Magic Woman”

Singles
• DragonForce – “Through the Fire and Flames”
• DragonForce – “Operation Ground and Pound”

Many fans of the music game genre knows about Through the Fire and the Flames, one of the hardest songs on Guitar Hero III and now Rock Band will give us a chance to play this song again. Dear God, someone help us with this.

Also, I'm very happy to see Santana make his debut on Rock Band with one of his well known songs, should provide some fun for everyone that likes Santana.

Interesting choices we have for next week, I might pick up Santana for sure, as for the rest, I have to think about it for a bit if I really want them.

Why Black Ops Is............Meh

Well, a good friend of mine got me to buy Black Ops for the PS3 a few months back. Fast forward towards the end of March, 1st Prestige later, I have come to realize one thing:

I have lost all hope that Call of Duty will be better from this point.

Bad enough that you have to spend 15 dollars just to get a few new maps but sometimes you have to realize when something you hate goes too far.

I will admit that I'm a bit of a fan of the FPS (First person Shooters), having played Call of Duty in the early days. But over time, I realize that there's a small thing called hype. When Modern Warfare was released, it was the best. Then Modern Warfare 2 hot us with over priced map packs. And then, Black Ops comes out and everything seems for the better.

Well, I will admit, I will continue to play Black Ops and then, another Call of Duty will be released and I will cry as well as my wallet.

Duke Nukem Forever: Delayed Again

Ah yes, Forever has been delayed for over 14 years and the release date was suppose to be in May, but they have to delay it again. Boy, things are pretty much getting interesting again. Being a gamer, I was waiting until the day they can finally release Forever, but looks like we have to wait.

I for one don't like it because a lot of people will continue to make fun of it. Hope it doesn't take "Forever" to release it then.
