Entertainment Report Issue #27b (Wrestlemania, Supercard of Honor,Wrestlecon and more!)

Welcome to a special two part Entertainment Report, part of a very busy week around here.

In these two issues we have full coverage of Wrestlemania weekend, picks for the ACM Awards, check ins with the NCAA Final and Frozen Four plus all our normal television and sports reports.

On top of all that, tomorrow night I'm getting together with our staff and recording four podcasts back to back covering Wrestlemania, the ACMs and much more. So look out for those.

Let's get on with the show, there's a lot to get to...

• Reid Flair, 25 year old son of legend Ric Flair, shockingly passed away on Friday morning. He was found unresponsive in his hotel room. Honestly I really feel for his dad and family mainly because he was way too young.
• Charlie Hass shocked the ROH crowd in Asheville, NC and all wrestling fans when he announced his retirement before his match against Jeff Louis Neal. He was visibly drunk and crying the match. This came out of no where as he was scheduled to face Shelton Benjamin at Supercard of Honor VII.
• Trish Stratus has announced that Stephanie McMahon will induct her into the WWE Hall of Fame.

WWE Championship

The Rock (c) vs. John Cena

Twice in a lifetime indeed. The real question is will John Cena turn heel in the match? For the first time in ten years I'm not sure. I can't see it. I will say for me this is oddly the easiest match for me to call that doesn't have Undertaker in it... 

Winner and NEW WWE Champion: John Cena

World Heavyweight Championship

Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. Jack Swagger

What happened to this feud? It was red hot. It was uncomfortable and getting mainstream press. Not it's all but forgotten and it was turned into Del Rio defending the honor of Ricardo Rodriguez. So here's what I see. Swagger is going to have the Patriot Lock on for a long time. Despite all the pain, Del Rio will counter and roll him up for the pin...

Winner and still World Heavyweight Champion: Alberto Del Rio

Then Swagger will roll out of the ring pissed, grabs a chair and will destroy Del Rio with it and then hit the Patriot Lock again. After he lets go of the hold, Dolph Ziggler's music will hit to cash in Money in the Bank.

World Heavyweight Championship

Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler

Del Rio will start to get up and hit the Zig Zag and a pinfall...

Winner and NEW World Heavyweight Champion: Dolph Ziggler

The Undertaker vs. CM Punk

Do I really have to go into detail here? This will be a good match but the streak will never end.

Winner: Undertaker

No Holds Barred

Career Threatening Match

Triple H (with Shawn Micheals) vs. Brock Lesnar

Well there's this match up. This should be a brutal war, that doesn't mean good though. I see this as the chance for Lesnar to go over again and Hunter will go back to the office full time.

Winner: Brock Lesnar

The Shield vs. Sheamus, Randy Orton and Big Show

I can't wait to see this match. It should be red hot and great. The question is will anyone turn on their team? Honesty I think it'll be better for The Shield if they do it without help so that where I'm going.

Winners: The Shield

Ryback vs. Mark Henry

This match could be great. Will it be a technical classic? Hell no! But it will be two big men who know their characters beating the crap out of each other. It seems obvious to me who will win here.

Winner: Ryback

WWE World Tag Team Championship

Team Hell No (Daniel Byran and Kane) (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler & Big E Langston (with AJ)

It is so fitting to have this match mainly based on the AJ story for the last year. For someone who rarely wrestles she has become a huge star. Without her we wouldn't have Team Hell No or Big E Langston. That being said I don't see Hell No dropping the belts here after the last year.

Winners and still WWE World Tag Team Champions: Team Hell No

Chris Jericho vs. Fandago

I could rant and rave about this match but I'll save that for audio. For now I'll just say this is real drop for Y2J.

Winner: Fandago

Tons of Funk (Brodus Clay & Sweet T) and the Funkadactyls vs. Team Rhodes Scholars (Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow) and the Bella Twins

So this is why The Bellas came back? Is anyone expecting a long match here? I see alot of dancing and splits. No much else.

Winners: Tons of Funk and the Funkadactyls

WWE Intercontinental Championship

Wade Barrett (c) vs. The Miz

Um, this should be good. This match so last minute and now the pre show match, that I just can't see a title change.

Winner and still WWE Intercontinental Champion: Wade Barrett

• Bruno Sammartino (being inducted by Arnold Schwarzenegger) 
• Bob Backlund (being inducted by Maria Menounos)
• Mick Foley (being inducted by Terry Funk)
• Trish Stratus (being inducted by Stephanine McMahon)
• Booker T
• Donald Trump (being inducted by Vince McMahon)

ROH World Heavyweight Championship

Kevin Steen (c) vs. Jay Briscoe

This match is intriguing. The setup pretty much is simple. Steen is the evil son of a bitch trying to take over, Briscoe is one of the ROH originals. There are two ways to look at this, Briscoe wins and makes history OR Steen retains and goes on to face Adam Cole at Border Wars.

Winner and still ROH World Heavyweight Champion: Kevin Steen

ROH World Television Championship

Matt Taven (c) vs. Adam Cole vs. Matt Hardy

Unless S.C.U.M. gets involved, which is entirely possible, I don't see a title change at all. I do expect Truth Martini to get involved though.

Winner and stll ROH World Television Champion: Matt Taven

ROH World Tag Team Championship

reDRagon (Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly) vs. The American Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards)

It took a few months but finally a straight up match between these two teams. This will be the show stealer. These is zero doubt in my mind here. 

Winners and NEW ROH World Tag Team Champions: The American Wolves

#1 Contenders Match

Jay Lethal vs. Michael Elgin

I'm curious on something with this match. When does the winner get his shot? Best in the World? I ask because if it was at Border Wars I would say Elgin would get his rematch on Canadian soil. But since Adam Cole is getting that shot so let's go with

Winner and #1 Contender to the ROH World Heavyweight Championship: Jay Lethal 

Roderick Strong vs. Karl Anderson

Honestly I'm not in the know so I don't have a clue who Anderson is. That being said I've heard good things. But I can't go with the unknown.

Winner: Roderick Strong

ACH & Tadarias Thomas vs. QT Marshall & ???

Well this really depends on the partner. Is it someone new and tough which will lead to a new tag team Will it be RD Evans and that means he'll take the pin. But since ACH is getting at TV title shot at the TV tapings, I expect the push here.

Winners: ACH & Tadarias Thomas

Honor vs. SCUM-10 Man War

Team ROH (BJ Whitmer, Mark Briscoe, Mike Mondo, Caprice Coleman and Cedric Alexander) vs. SCUM (Jimmy Jacobs, Cliff Compton, Rhett Titus, Jimmy Rave and Rhino)

For this match, I think it's simply too soon for S.C.U.M. to lose so it makes my pick easier.

Winners: S.C.U.M.

Till then thank you for reading, continue to spread the word, and have a good week!

Entertainment Report Issue #23 (ROH 11th Anniversary, MISL Playoffs, Celebrity Apprentice, Comic Book Men and more)

"Be you. Don't try to go out there and get in that ring in front of those veterans that are watching you and try to be something that you're not or do something that you can't do because they can see through you like glass."-Paul Bearer, Pro Wrestling Torch Livecast (8/17/12)

This has been such a busy week and actually continues to be.

#1, last Thursday I started making some updates to the sidebar of the blog. The big change was the addition if a sponsor and supporter column, with @PuzzledPolished and @EastCoastCast represented. This is the start of the changes I'm currently working on.

#2, if you saw this week's Country Weekly, with Luke Bryan on the cover, you saw my word search puzzle. If you didn't it's still on newsstands as of this posting so go pick it up.

#3, in case you missed it on our Twitter account @EReport1, Mandy (@Mama_Mandabear) was in the Journal Sentinel on Saturday morning. She was representing @AutismSpeaks and of course @PuzzledPolished  If you did that and you are local Mandy will be on Wisconsin Tonight tomorrow night (Thursday 3/7/13) on TMJ4 at 6:30pm.

#4, tomorrow morning look for the first Entertainment Report/Puzzled & Polished podcast. Mandy and I will be hosting and be talking about various topics.

Finally because I don't do it enough, thank you for reading this issue. I hope you enjoy what we do here and come back every week. Also I hope you continue to spread the word about the Report. Every retweet and Facebook post is helpful and I am thankful for every one of them.

Alright that's it from me, let's get on with the show...

Today the wrestling world is mourning the lost of one of the greatest managers in wrestling history, Paul Bearer, William Moody, passed away on Tuesday night at the age of 58.

No matter what generation you watched pro wrestling, Paul Bearer was always there for you as a fan. Whether it was pre-WWE as Percy Pringle or managing Undertaker, Kane and Mankind throughout the years in WWE or ever just being a new fan and seeing in clips. He's always been and always will be one of the greats and is a future hall of famer.

So for the final time in honor or a great wrestling legend...

Paul Bearer

Rest. In. Peace.

(1954-2013)

Thoughts

It's crazy how much can change in the matter of five minutes.

The top story coming out of this show should have been the two title changes and the set up for Supercard of Honor. But the huge talking point was the expansion of S.C.U.M. with members Rhett Titus, Cliff Compton, Jimmy Rave and Matt Hardy. It was a huge shocker in front of the Chicago crowd. For me the Titus turn surprised most but at least it makes story sense. Honestly I don't know where this is going, I hope it's good. ROH needs something big right now.

As for the rest of the show, it was hot. First of all, what a shocker the Adam Cole lost his TV Title to Matt Taven! I was sure they were setting up a Cole-Hardy TV Title match, that is now a #1 contender's match.

The one division I'm really excited about is the tag division. reDragon (terrible name btw) beat The Briscoes to set up a future title match versus The American Dragons. That is massive. I expect them to save this for Supercard of Honor next month but selfishly I want this match on free TV.

The rest of the show was good. I was excited that Cheeseburger interfered and attacked Charlie Hass. Can you smell a TV main event? Hass vs. Cheeseburger. I'm all for it!

Finally I'm happy to see Michael Elgin got the best of Roderick Strong. I hope this us the end but I doubt it.

After this show I admit I'm looking forward to TV the next month after this show. Hopefully ROH doesn't disappoint.

The Milwaukee Wave closed out their 2012-2013 regular season campaign with a weekend double header. On Saturday night, the Syracuse Silverknights made their second and final trip to the U.S. Cellular Arena this season. Both teams were treated to a near capacity crowd of 8,009. Having already been eliminated from playoff contention this season, the Silverknights were looking to play the role of spoilers. The Wave on the other hand, were looking to create some momentum before heading into the playoffs. Syracuse's Ryan Pierce scored the first goal of the game to give the visitors the early 2-0 lead. Recently named player of the month, Ian Bennett tied the game with a perfect back post run to tie the game at 2. Midway through the first quarter, Syracuse goalkeeper Brian O'Quinn would leave the game due to a knee injury. Since the knights did not dress a back up goalie, they were forced to hand the jersey and gloves over to their target forward Derek Popovich who to Milwaukee's surprise, performed exceptionally well for his first professional game in goal. Popovich stated that "he had never played goalie in his life except, in the back yard with his brothers as a young kid." Syracuse would then take the lead before second year sensation, Nick Perera scored two goals back to back to give the Wave a 6-4 lead. Two more goals for the Wave from defender Fabinho, and rookie of the year candidate Lua Oliviera gave Milwaukee a 10-4 lead. Syracuse were able to get one more late goal, but it would not matter as the Wave pull out the 10-6 victory.

The next afternoon, the Wichita Wings entered the Arena, as the last place team in the league. With nothing to lose, the Wings threw everything they had at the Wave. Marcel Feenstra played what could have possibly been one of the best quarters of his career. The "Flying Dutchman" as he is known as to his fans in Milwaukee, lived up to his name Sunday, as he made numerous diving saves to keep the game tied for most of the first quarter. Just as they had the previous night, Nick Perera and Ian Bennett stole the show. Two goals for Bennett, with one being the game winner, scored just twelve seconds after the start of the thrid quarter. Perera finished his second goal in as many games, and Captain Joe Hammes also tallied one goal, to lead the Wave to victory 8-6 to close the regular season.

This week begins the MISL playoffs. The top four teams advance to the play-off round. The first place Baltimore Blast face off against the Chicago Soul, who ended the season as the fourth place team. The only other team to defeat the Blast twice during the regular season, was in fact Chicago, with the other team being Milwaukee. A team that no matter what year it is, always seems to give Baltimore a problem. Last night the Blast took a 22-13 victory in the first game of the series. Game two will be saturday in Baltimore. Baltimore at this point are the favorites to advance to the MISL Championship series. Chicago will have to win game two in Baltimore, plus the mini game that ensues after. The mini-game is an extra period of play that counts as a third game.

The Milwaukee Wave begin their push for their 7th all time, and their 3rd consecutive championship. For the past three seasons, the Wave have faced the Missouri Comets. They will kick off Thursday in Missouri at the Independce Events Center, just outside of Kansas City. Then the teams will return Sunday to continue the series in Milwaukee for game 2 and the 3rd mini game if needed. Many fans expect the Wave and Blast to meet in the finals for the third consecutive year, but in this league anything can happen. Besides for Baltimore, Missouri was the only team to defeat the Wave twice. I can assure you that this week will be some of the best indoor soccer action anyone has seen for quite some time. If Milwaukee advances to the MISL Finals the games will be held Friday March 15th in Milwaukee, and Saturday March 16th in Baltimore. This is what every team plays for each week. A shot at the MISL title.

Episode: The Wolf in Charge of the Hen House

After watching this show, I'm sure when I want to the eat meatballs again. The challenge was to raise as much money as possible selling meatballs. Let's go through the teams first.

Team Power: Bret Michaels, Omarosa, Brande Roderick, Claudia Jordan, Dennis Rodman, LaToya Jackson, Lil Jon

Team Plan B: Trace Adkins, Dee Snider, Gary Busey, Lisa Rinna, Marlin Henner, Penn Jillette, Stephen Baldwin, Trace Adkins

Team Plan B
Project Manager: Trace Adkins

Trace had a very risky strategy by not opening their shop to the general public. It turned out to be very smart because it seemed to lead to the win.

Total: $419,539

Team Power

Project Manager: Brande Roderick

The major mistake Brande made was that she trusted Omarosa with the money count. For some reason she thought this was a good idea. Also it didn't help that Omarosa threw Bret under the bus in the boardroom.

Brought Back to the Boardroom: Brande Roderick, Bret Michaels, La Toya Jackson

Fired: Bret Michaels

Bret shouldn't have come back to begin with. Trump was just looking for a reason to boot him out right away and he got that reason.

Gary Busey Weekly Quote

"You know the word SIN, I wanna take the letters that spell sin and make a definition. S I N stands for self imposed nonsense and we don't do that here."

Episode: Stash-teriods

This week's show actually kept things really simple. It was all product based. The huge one was a vintage 1979 Asteroids video game that was just nice to see. I'd love to play that one day.

Ming was in heaven the majority of the show because one person came in with three awesome Star Wars vehicles and then another guy came in with sweet 3 1/4 inch GI Joe action figures. These items made Ming act like a little kid which was very cool to see.

Finally a guy walked in to sell Walt & Mike some Amazing Spider-Man issues. The ones that were purchased were issue #121, death of Gwen Stacy, #129, Punisher's first appearance and #300, the 9/11 tribute issue.

It was a low key episode but there's nothing wrong with that. Not every episode has to have a massive event.

2/28/13-New Jersey at Winnipeg

Led by Andrew Lada's two goals and assist, the Jets beat the Devils in back to back games 3-1. The Devs couldn't get anything going besides a second period goal by Andrei Laktionov. Ondrej Pavekc makes 22 saves in the win.

3/2/13-New Jersey at Buffalo

In a hard fought contest the Devils at least get out of Buffalo with a point losing to the Sabres 4-3 in a shootout. Buffalo was led by Jason Pomimville's two goals and a shootout goal in the victory. The Devils got goals by Steve Bernier, shorthanded by Adam Henrique and Andrei Lokitonov tied it up to send it to the overtime period.

3/4/13-New Jersey at Toronto

The Devils just can't seem to get back in the win column. After taking a 2-1 lead in the second on a pair of Marek Zidlicky goals, they couldn't hold on.

3/5/13-Tampa Bay at New Jersey

As the Devils losing streak continues, with a 5-2 loss to the Lightning, their goalie woes get worst. While Martin Brodeur is dealing with back problems, Johan Hedberg is now having problems keeping the puck out of the net. So after letting in four goals, Keith Kinkaid made his NHL debut in goal. With all these goalie issues, Nate Thompson got two goals and Martin St. Louis got a goal and an assist. Adam Henrique and Patrik Elias got the only forms of life for the New Jersey offense.

After losing six straight and eight of their last nine, the Devils have a quick turn around and play the Buffalo Sabres at The Rock tomorrow. Over the weekend they head to Carolina to play the Hurricanes on Saturday and then the next night they return home to play the Winnipeg Jets. Finally after two days off, the Devils host the Philadelphia Flyers on NBC Sports Network on Wednesday night.

3/1/13-Grand Rapids at Milwaukee

Led by two goals and an assist from Gustav Nyquist, the Griffins destroyed the Ads 5-1. Patrick Cehin scored for the lone goal for Milwaukee.

3/2/13-Milwaukee at Rockford

The Admirals, and more importantly Jeremy Smith, got back to their winning ways. Led by a goal and an assist by Brad Winchester, Milwaukee beat the Icehogs 3-2. Patrick Cehlin and Daniel Bang also scored for the Ads. Smith made 22 saves for his first win since having career nights at the end of January vs. Oklahoma City & Peoria.

3/3/13-Grand Rapids at Milwaukee

The Admirals just can't seem to beat the Griffins at home. Led by two goals by Jeff Hoggan, Grand Rapids embarrassed Milwaukee 5-1 for the second time in three days. Victor Bartley got the lone goal in garbage time for the Ads.

After a four day break, the Ads will be playing a home & home on Friday and Saturday night with the Chicago Wolves then next Wednesday night they host the Peoria Rivermen.

• There are rumors that Jay Leno will be officially retiring in May and the new late night host could be Jimmy Fallon. This could be Conan deja vu.
