This week on WWE Raw in Brooklyn 'New York' Bubba Ray and D-Von returned and were welcomed with a huge crowd pop. We witnessed the shocking return of "The Dudley Boyz" who haven't been seen as a team back in WWE in over 10 years. The crowd went crazy, The New Day was in for A Bad Day, crowd chants of "Get The Tables" " ECW" and "3D" echoed around the arena. The Dudley's quickly destroyed The New Day one by one to the crowds delight. Fortunately, the Dudley Boyz return was not leaked online and…

This year is expected to be a huge year for the WBU Novice World Champion Rock Blackwell. Blackwell was born in Baltimore, Maryland. His heritage is of African Hebrew and Yahudah Isreal descent. Blackwell began boxing at just seven years old and holds an amateur record of 156-28. It hasn't been a cake walk for Blackwell. He lost his first professional fight in 2009, due to a broken right hand and life threatening levels of dehydration. Not to mention, he was forced to jump up a class to super…

There are three types of movements that I know only too well. The first is the sweep: the initial take down of the opponent’s body by knocking his legs out from under him until he falls to the ground. Each bone pulsates in its own unique way as it braces for the impact while being crushed to the floor. The second movement is watching the Sensei urging the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitor to regain his stance. All of this eventually leads to the “tapping out” when you tap the floor to indicate…

I played the sport with a passion, even though it wasn’t my favorite. There were tons of stories and memoires that I made over the years, however there is one that would go down in my schools history. One of my favorite memories of high school wrestling, that would be the moment when I saved the team by winning the last match and beating one of our rivals, Timberland. The event was held at my school Francis Howell Central. I wrestled in the heavy weight class, even though I was under weight…

names for attendance. This was Sebastian’s first wrestling tournament, Randy’s third. They are both eighth graders. Sebastian has no clue what he is doing. “What seed are you anyway? I’m 2nd” Randy Asked Excitedly. “6th. I’m not that good at wrestling anyway.” Sebastian never really cared about sports, he just did it to be with Randy and his other friends. Randy, on the other hand, had been training since he was 6. He knew so many moves in wrestling, and a lot of them were advanced. He was…

Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, and many more from around the nation travel to one location to face off and battle for the crown, however; only ten wrestlers can win it all. Personally, I enjoy this time because ever since I was little, wrestling is by far my favorite sport. Another thing is that whenever you watch the NCAA’s, you will always be entertained without a doubt. Sometimes, there is the annual number one seed vs. the number sixteen seed matchup, however; there have been…

While Pompey’s work lacks some of the variety a self-actualized person might require, she does challenge herself to work efficiently and construct her narrative when she free time. In addition, Sir Phoebus has awarded Pompey tremendous responsibility because of her expertise capabilities. She achieves this despite the limitations of the era and her understanding that she may not have the perfect job, but she does have the ability to find it satisfying. In showing her autonomy, Pompey reveals she…

leaves me looking for more. Music preferences are one of the things that contribute to one’s own personal style. Personally, in this course I found one missing artist which stands out among others. Don McLean, who has contributed to the history of Folk-Rock in his composition of several iconic songs. Songs which have had an impact on Rock and Roll, such as his “American Pie” hit. An iconic song, that is known to most music enthusiasts with the lyrics that have been debated among listeners…
