This month marks TNA’s tenth anniversary and whatever you want to say about the promotion – and I’ve said quite a bit particularly these past couple years – the fact that it’s still around is worthy of celebration. So here are some quick notes that I’ve gathered and believe it or not, I actually have nice things to say about this show.
Yes, I’m going to be complimentary towards a TNA PPV.
Wrestlemania XXVIII
Sun-Life Stadium, Miami, Florida
April 1st, 2012
Seeing this with people, as per the case with last year’s Wrestlemania. Considering I’m writing this just an hour after the show’s conclusion, I want to try and gather my thoughts on blog while they’re fresh and not worry about cohesiveness or anything like that. Whatever goes through, goes through and will no doubt get minor refinements later.
Concluding our revisit of previous Ramblemania postings. Look forward to Ramblemania 27 in the near future.

Compiling all the Ramblemania posts that not only graced the original DTM Blog, but also made their way over to this blog in a slight expanded format. Since the recent Ramblemania Rewinds are now a thing, the older entries have been compiled together for the sake of archival purposes.

A PPV tonight you say? Fuck if I knew that…
Anywhoo, last night was WWE’s Elimination PPV… oh, I mean Elimination Chamber PPV… sorry, but I just went by what Johnny Ace called it. After all, this guy’s the Executive VP of Talent Relations… despite having no actual talent aside from kissing ass. Anyway, time to shoot out some random thoughts. Should be pretty simple stuff, really.
I’ve yet to watch this year’s Royal Rumble, but a friend had promised he’d send me a copy of the show this week. He did, however, send me last month’s TLC PPV, so there’s that. So I decided to share some musings with this PPV that most of you have probably already seen. This isn’t an up-and-up report or anything; just random observations and musings on the show, similar to how I approach the RAW Bytes, so to speak.
A down-and-dirty recap of last night’s PPV… maybe I should be more timely with potential picks, but whatever…
A little late for predictions… but I can give you quick results and my quick reactions in italics.
World Tag-Team Champions Air Boom defeated Miz and R-Truth via disqualification.
Meh… I’ve got no complaints. Adds to the whole CON-Spiracy theory Killings has going on.
Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes defeated Ted Dibiase to retain the title.
Don’t watch Smackdown enough to care…
United States Champion Dolph Ziggler defeated John Morrison, Jack Swagger, and Alex Riley to retain the title.
No big surprise here. Dolph is actually growing on me now… I kinda sorta like him now.
Mark Henry defeated Randy Orton to win the World Heavyweight Championship…
Hey, look. Mark Henry is a world champion! Actually, you know what? All joking aside, hats off to him. The guy’s been around for fifteen years, he’s been put through some ridiculous situations, and he’s persevered through it all. Not to mention that this is actually the first time where he actually felt like a legitimate monster and could viably be a worthwhile champion. So, yeah. Congrats, Mark Henry. You deserved it.
Divas Champion Kelly Kelly defeated Beth Phoenix to retain the title…
Meh…
John Cena overcomes the odds yet again and can go fuck himself.
Yeah, exactly. There goes another potential main event talent. Fuck you, Cena.
HHH defeated CM Punk following five-hundred people getting involved in the match.
This match sucked. Plain and simple. Fuck you, McSon-in-Law.
Night of Champions… pretty meh. Might need a second viewing, but… meh.
WRESTLEMANIA 27
Georgia Dome, Atlanta, GE
April 3, 2011
Quick simple notes written shortly after viewing. I don’t recall if this was posted on the blog at the time, but in any case… here it is (again?)
