Welcome to the Silverdome debut of the Silver Report. Originally made up for my short stint contributing to the Tribal Wrestling website (where you can find all past Silver Reports), the Silver Report is where I will look at the biggest news in the wide World of Wrestling from the past week and give my two cents on each. I have always wanted to bring the Silver Report to the Silverdome, but the timing did not feel right as there was always something big going on be it a big match, a big promo or for the last month the Road to WrestleMania 28 series. With all the craziness WrestleMania season brings out of the way, it seemed that this week was the perfect week to bring the Silver Report to the Silverdome. So from now on you will see the Silver Report posted each weekend except when there is a PPV to preview or a wrestling DVD/PPV to review. Without any further delay, let us jump on into the crazy aftermath of WrestleMania 28.
Cena Gets Brocked!!
After all the year-long build, the Rock got the better of John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania, a surprising decision by WWE as you would think they would rather put over the current poster boy of the company than the guy who is not a full-time wrestler, but I personally am reserving judgment until I see things play out in the coming months. Come Monday night for Raw, all eyes were glued to the screen as the WWE Universe waited to see John Cena’s reactions to his huge loss in possible the biggest match of his career. Would John finally turn heel? Would he get so desperate that he would immediately challenge Rock to a rematch? Would he even call it quits? All these questions and more swirled in the heads of every wrestling fan watching. Everybody had their theory, but no one expected what Cena actually did. The Face of the WWE came down to the ring and stayed true to his bland generic character. Cena again rose above the hate and was humble in defeat to the point he asked Rock to come down to the ring for him to show the Great One some respect. Well that did not happen as a familiar tune rang through the speakers and a familiar entrance video popped up on the Titantron. The pain finally returned to the WWE and the crowd in Miami and fans around the world went nuts when Brock Lesnar walked on stage. Brock made his ring to the ring and put out his arm to shake Cena’s hand. Being the classy good guy, Cena went to shake Brock’s hand only to eat an F-5 from the Next Big Thing. What started out as another run-of-the-mill promo from John Cena turned into an epic ending for what was an incredible episode of Monday Night Raw. Even with the Rock, Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Undertaker all leaving for the time being, this budding feud between the returning Brock Lesnar and John Cena should keep people glued to Raw for the next couple of months.
YES! YES! YES!
The opening match of WrestleMania 28 saw Daniel Bryan lose the World Heavyweight Championship to Sheamus in a whopping 18 seconds. While WWE finally made winning the Royal Rumble mean something again, but at the expense of squandering what could have been an incredible main event level match and also snubbing Bryan and Sheamus for the second year in a row. Daniel Bryan’s 18 second loss drew the ire of the hardcore wrestling fans as for the three matches preceding the opener and for the entirety of Raw they chanted Daniel Bryan along with dueling Yes/No chants. Wrestling fans made their voices heard literally through these amazing chants. Personally I am hoping these chants catch on with other crowds around the world as I want to hear them every single Raw, Smackdown and PPV. Maybe with Daniel dumping AJ this past week on Smackdown see Bryan a more intense heel much like he was during his heel run in Ring of Honor.
CM Punk Meet Jack Daniels
CM Punk bested Chris Jericho on the big stage in Miami last Sunday night with the Anaconda Vice, but that was not the end of this personal feud. After Punk lost to Mark Henry via count-out in a great TV WWE Title match, Jericho took advantage of a hurt Punk. Chris Jericho grabbed a bottle of Jack Daniels and poured it over the defenseless Punk trying to the Straight-Edge Superstar. Drenched in booze, Punk came to only to get beaten down by Chris Jericho. Jericho then took another bottle of Jack Daniels and bashed it against the back of Punk’s skull with a wince-inducing impact. While Punk may have proved he was the Best in the World at WrestleMania, Jericho’s attack on Punk proved that this feud is long from over. With things quickly escalating between Punk and Jericho, we should a big No Holds Barred WWE Title Match announced for Extreme Rules, which is being held in Punk’s hometown of Chicago, in the coming weeks and it should be good.
