D-rock and Stephen reminisce and rewatch the 2014 Royal Rumble which changed wrestling history and added gasoline to the Yes movement. We compare the changes in the last decade of wrestling and get hyped for the return of Radiate.fm which will be playing the vundacast at 4am and 4pm on Mondays in 2024.  Hear this up!!!

"THE BOYHOOD DREAM HAS COME TRUE..." -Vince McMahon That's right, fake fighting fanatics. For the first time in the nearly twenty years I've been a wrestling fan, I FINALLY got to experience WRESTLEMANIA live and in person! This is quite literally an actual line item on my Bucket List. I've dreamed of this chance for years. WrestleMania came to my hometown (and home of Vundablog headquarters) of Miami, FL in 2012 but it had been quite some time since I had kept up with the current state of WWE and I didn't think I would enjoy it enough to use a birthday and/or Christmas present on it. Boy was I wrong. Us Vundabloggers watched WrestleMania XXVIII on pay-per-view and the whole time I couldn't help thinking how much I wish I had asked for that ticket for Christmas or my birthday. The HHH/Undertaker Hell In a Cell match was EPIC. C.M. Punk v. Chris Jericho was sick. Even The Rock v. John Cena was fun for what it was, especially since it was in The Ro...

What was up with Dean Ambrose's hair?

Here are some pictures from Florida Supercon 2014 of fellow wrestling enthusiasts. THURSDAY

So the big news of the day is that Daniel Bryan will not be cleared to compete in this month's Money In the Bank pay-per-view and therefore will likely--probably tonight--be stripped of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship . This means that the Money In the Bank match at the PPV will likely be for the championship rather than for the briefcase(s) and contract(s). But it doesn't necessarily have to be. Not exactly. WWE.com Here's what I propose: Reveal tonight on Raw that HHH has inked a deal with Daniel Bryan to split the titles back up again and have Bryan forfeit either the WWE Title or the World Heavyweight Championship while retaining the other. This effectively turns HHH on Steph while still essentially keeping him heel because he believes Daniel Bryan is "best for business" and can make The Authority a lot of money but Steph disagrees because he's insubordinate and beloved and a legitimate threat to their power and she learned from her dad that...

July 21st. The night after Battleground in Tampa. RAW.IS.VUNDABLOG So excited for the possibilities here. Maybe Bo Dallas will give us cookies. Maybe Cesaro will be a main eventer by then. Maybe Sami Zayn will be on Raw by then. Who knows what the Shield and the Wyatts will be up to? Let alone Daniel Bryan. We certainly hope we get to see Paul Heyman cut a promo and drop in a "MY CLIENT BA-ROOOCK LESNARRRRR CONQUERED THE UNDERTAKER'S UNDEFEATED STREAK AT WRESTLEMANIA!" Whatever happens, it will be a night to remember as VUNDABLOG INVADES MONDAY NIGHT RAW! #RAWISVUNDABLOG

If this video doesn't make you cry then you have no soul.

OK. The whole "Road to Hell in a Cell" thing kinda went off a cliff, so-to-speak. What can I tell you? I've been a busy guy lately. But I promise I'm going to make it up to you--and here's how: first of all, with this in-depth preview of the Hell in a Cell PPV, going match-by-match to unravel the story behind it (if any) and prognosticate on what might happen, what should happen, and what will happen; then, on Sunday, I will be tweeting LIVE from Section 306 of the American Airlines Arena at HELL IN A CELL 2013 starting at 7pm (my Twitter handle is @bioponic ); and finally, the following morning, I will be posting a full recap of Hell in a Cell right here at Vundablog.com! So without further ado, let's get right to it... WWE Intercontinental Championship Match -- Curtis Axel (c) v. Big E Langston (Pre-Show) How We Got Here: That's a good question, actually. Basically, CM Punk had a match with Big E to gear up for Ryback and after Punk defeated B...

A hearty CONGRATULATIONS to WWE Diva Brie Bella and my favorite professional wrestler for nearly a decade, BRYAN DANIELSON (a.k.a. "Daniel Bryan").   They just got ENGAGED!

RAW 9/16/13 Daniel Bryan is Going to Fight:  Well the ununthinkable happened on Raw just like we all knew it would.  HHH did an expert job breaking down the "800 lb gorilla that is sitting in the room" (Trips, if you're going to use a cliche, use the damn cliche, don't try to "spruce it up" or whatever) of the fast count on Daniel Bryan's title win at Night of Champions like a sportscaster breaking down a coach's challenge in football.  Showing Scott Armstrong's "normal cadence" was a particularly nice touch.  An even nicer touch was Armstrong turning to Bryan and saying "they got us Daniel" and HHH holding this up as indisputable evidence of a conspiracy between Bryan and Armstrong (as Bryan desperately insists he doesn't know what Armstrong is talking about but who the hell cares) and proceeding to mercilessly berate him about embarrassing himself and the company and disgracing the title and a plague on his house.  ...

RAW 5/6/13 -God dammit, Cena.  It's not bad enough you co-opted Daniel Bryan's "YES!" chants while he was fighting in a match that you cost him?  You had to cut an ENTIRE PROMO based on co-opting his chants?  This is incredibly annoying, even for you.  I can't even believe I just said that but there it is. -THANK YOU VICKIE *clap clap clapclapclap* -Seriously, though, I'm really starting to love Vickie and her "EXCUSE ME"s.  Not so much that "Cougar" necklace, though. -Seriously, though, John Cena is ten years old.  There are few things in wrestling less compelling than him insulting people.  In five minutes he has derided Ryback for "running away screaming like a little girl" because he wisely decided against a match against The Shield that most likely would have ended up with him getting the crap kicked out of him, called him a "complainer" for calmly explaining his legitimate issues with Cena, done a super fuc...
