Celebrity Apprentice:Art=Money (4/3/11)
Well this season of Apprentice has been very unpredicatable to say the least. So when we go into a show that is about fund-raising and it's Jon Rich vs. Marlee Matlin it's going to be a wild ride. But it's everything in between you wonder about.
Before we even got into the task we find out that Jose Canseco left the show to take care of his dad dealing with cancer. That's totally respectable. So Donald donated $25,000 to his charity.

Team A.S.A.P.-Winning Team
Project Manager: Marlee Matlin
Money Raised: $986,000 (Trump rounded it up to a million just because he can)
So the point of this week's show was to make and sell art. That being said the girls really pulled this one out of their asses. They weren't even set up till 5 minutes before the art show. They didn't even have the confidence to think they had a chance to win. Yet they had the donors to pull this off. I give them alot of credit. Latoya also recieved $25,000 for her charity for making the most creative baseball hat which she made it tribute to Michael Jackson.

| Meatloaf when he exploded on Gary Busey. Amazing meltdown with ALOT of cursing. They made up by the end of the show. |
Project Manager: Jon Rich
Money Raised: $626,000
You know when you realize that Jon raised $450,000 from his painted guitar alone, I was sure the guys could win. But alas they didn't win. Now I expected since Jose had already went home today that the guys would get a pass and no one would be fired. But Trump ask Marlee if someone should get fired and she said yes. So Trump had to fire someone. When things were said and done the firing came down to who made the least amount of money and in one episode two people I didn't like were gone.
Fired: Richard Hatch
Money Raised: $626,000

"A righteous truth, A-R-T is the defination of art. Because you need heart for the art and the art brings the heart."

Wrestlemania XXVII:Full Thoughts and Recap
Well, that was one of the most random, craziest and up and down Wrestlemanias I've ever seen. I can just see alot of people complaining over the next 24 hours about alot of segments on this show. I can also see people down the road calling this one of the worse Wrestlemanias ever. But for now, let's stick to the present and I will get my thoughts on this show.
United States Championship
Sheamus (c) vs. Daniel Bryan
Winner: Sheamus
Um, yeah. They pulled this match from the card. I'm not sure why. They could have cut out Snoop Dogg and put this match on here in the same spot. (more on that in a few) This was a match alot of people were really looking forward to, especially ROH fans that were seeing their boy Daniel Bryan grow up and get on the WM card. Alas it didn't happen and the match was moved to the pre show, only to be thrown out and turned into the yearly traditional battle royal (non title) and Great Khali won that match. Total bullsht in my opinion.
Now onto the actual PPV. (This review will also include instant reaction from facebook and twitter from me, Mandy and our friends through out the show so look for those. It will show the feel of the show throughout from different perspectives.)
First of all, America The Beautiful was sung beautifully by Keri Hilton. That being said, I LOVED the set, it had an old school feel with the old Wrestlemania logo but a new feel with the screens and the stage was set up like a dome. Very nice. Major points for that.
The Rock opened the show with a kinda not so funny recap of all the insults he's been giving to John Cena over the last couple of weeks. Blah. The crowd was red hot though and that was cool. Overall an eh way to start the show, but understandable since he is the guest host of the PPV.
INSTANT REACTION
Blake (Twitter)-"Did Rock actually get a Fruity Pepples chant going? Now I've heard it all."
Another fantasic opening video. Those never get old.
Announcers to start the show: Michael Cole (in the Cole Mine), Josh Matthews (he has actually earned and deserves the right to call at least half this show) and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Also Hugo and Carlos are back on Spanish announcing. We only get to see them like once a year nowadays so it's always nice to see them.
World Heavyweight Championship
Edge (with Christian) (c) vs. Alberto Del Rio (with Brodus Clay)
INSTANT REACTION
Blake (Twitter)-"The World Heavyweight title is first?!? Wow, this is going to be a wild night."
Predictation: Alberto Del Rio
So this year the Royal Rumble winner is in the opening contest, NOT the main event. Say what?!?!
I did LOVE Del Rio's entrance though. Very cool and just different. It made him seem important. He drove out with a very fancy mansion behind him like he was pulling out of his driveway and onto the WM set.
Overall the match was good. I'm glad there wasn't ALOT of interference from Christian and Clay, just enough to make their presence known. It wasn't a GREAT match by any means, but good enough for this night. I actually though that Del Rio was going to win when he had the arm bar locked in but Edge was able to counter it into his submission move (which for some reason I can't remember the name of) which Del Rio countered and then got up right into a spear.
They did note that this was the fist time that Edge has successfully defended the World Heavyweight Championship at Mania. So that in itself is cool.
Winner: Edge (0 for 1)
INSTANT REACTION
Blake (Twitter)-"This was alot of fun and I'm glad I was wrong."

Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes
Predictation: Cody Rhodes
This was the first time I actually got to appreciate Cody's new entrance video and music. Very dark and fitting for his new character.
Rey did his very cool traditional superhero entrance this as Captian America which was actually surprising very nice. I like the M on his forehead instead of an A.
Well this was a good match in parts, especially the ending. Overall, I think they could have done more with the time they were given. I had high expectations going in though so that could be it. Just didn't seem up to Rey's WM standard, let alone anyone elses. I definately didn't expect Cody to win on a three count in the middle of the ring after the Crossroads.
I did love how excited Cody was to get his first WM win. That was real to me.
Winner: Cody Rhodes (1 for 2)
INSTANT REACTION
Blake (Twitter)-"That was really exciting! And I called Cody winning."
Okay this I have issues with Snoop Dogg and Teddy Long doing a mock American Idol in the middle of the show for no real reason. It was kinda stupid and boring a times. The only real highlights was watching Regal attempt to rap which was hysterical and Hornswoggle. My issues looking back now were that this took up time that could have been where the US Title match was.
INSTANT REACTION
Blake (Twitter)-"What's going on? Why is Regal rapping? Khali and Beth? Zack Ryder? Roddy Piper?" "Yoshi and Masters was funny!" "Hornswoggle was epic hysterical!"
The Corre (Wade Barrett, Ezekiel Jackson, Health Slater and Justin Gabriel) vs. The Big Show, Kane, Santino and Kofi Kingston
Predictation: The Big Show, Kane, Santino and Kofi Kingston
This match got changed on Saturday after Kozlov got attacked at Axcess and got replaced by Kofi instead.
INSTANT REACTION
Blake (Twitter)-"Thank you for adding Kofi to this match! Made it better!"
That was it? Really? 8 men come out, two minutes later the match is over after a cobra and knockout punch to Health Slater. Very anti-climatic for me.
INSTANT REACTION
Blake (Twitter)-"That was the fastest 8 man tag ever!"
Matt (Facebook)-"
Winner: The Big Show, Kane, Santino and Kofi Kingston (2 for 3)
We head back stage to The Rock and they wasted the Divas Champion Eve. They should have had in a match, maybe even debut Awesome Kong. But instead we get a random segment with her, Rock and Mae Young.
