Jeff Hardy Says He Is Coming Back To WWE In 2017

According to an article written by Joe Burgett on inquisitr.com (View Here) Jeff Hardy is coming back to World Wrestling Entertainment. As reported his contract appears to be up around February 2017, which as we all knew is right around WrestleMania season. If this does turn out to be the case it’ll be very interesting to see which Jeff Hardy shows up?

Unfortunately Jeff’s career has been a rollercoaster ride with as many highs (literally) as lows over his wrestling tenure. His return seems all good and well, but of course last night at BloodyMania 10 he had some weird, strange actions after his match. Announced by Nick Paglino from wrestlezone.com which you can see by Clicking HERE! Jeff Hardy looked like the one we saw versus Sting which is pictured above where he was drunk. Breaking tables Sabu-Style with no opponent above or below the objects he was destroying. We all know if Jeff shows up at WWE like that, Vince McMahon will certainly have none of the nonsense he has shown in his dark past.

On the other side of things if we get the entertaining daredevil we had from the Hardy Boyz it could prove to be a huge addition to beef the roster up at WWE. I personally hope he is doing well and does make a return, which could lead to many rivals and matches that we know he can perform well in. Finn Balor comes to mind possibly if he returned as the ENIGMA WILLOW (pictured below) from TNA! I can’t even think of a scenario where they would have a bad match together except for the obvious which nobody can control but Jeff himself. Another opportunity could be against Bray Wyatt, in which his brother Matt Hardy recently took offense to. Responding to the Wyatt Family Compound segment WWE had a few weeks ago in a negative way via twitter.

All in all, I am rooting for Jeff to make a return to WWE. I was a fan of him, especially those tag team matches he had at WrestleMania with the Dudley Boyz, and Edge and Christian. By far some of the best entertainment to this day, I can re-watch those matches all day! Nobody should wish bad upon him and only time will tell if this is another rumor, or we do hear his music hit one day in the WWE. Some might say he is already lined up for the WWE Hall of Fame if he is to come back. But I think one more strong run would solidify him and clear his name of the negativity that have poisoned people’s memories of him. Jeff Hardy Please Come Back Stronger Than EVER!!

MMA Bellator 159: Results/Recap

Bellator 159 took place in Mulvane, Kansas at the Kansas Star Arena. The co-main event featured Melvin Guillard versus David Rickels with the main event pitting undefeated Darrion Caldwell against Joe Taimanglo. Below are the results for the preliminary fights followed by round by round analysis for the main card.

Fernando Martinez def. Marcio Navarro via Split Decision

Johnny Marigo def. Andy Riley via Submission (Inverted Triangle Key Lock) Rd 1

Gaston Reyno def. L.J. Hermreck Jr. via TKO (Punches) Rd 3

Jessica Middleton def. Bruna Ellen Unanimous Decision

Luis Philipe Lins def. Guilherme Viana via TKO (Punches) Rd 3

Daniel Weichel vs Emmanuel Sanchez:
Round 1 – Both fighters feeling each other out with a few good punches each. Daniel Weichel makes the difference with 3 good takedowns but dealing no damage. Each fighter had a few good combos but nothing really connecting with effectiveness. Not too exciting but Weichel and Sanchez are trying. Sanchez throwing wild roundhouse kicks with none connecting. My Card: 10-9 Weichel

Round 2 – Weichel is the counter striker in this round trying to pick his spots. Sanchez doing slight damage with leg kicks showing some strength behind it. Slow round nothing too entertaining with the difference in my book being a takedown by Daniel Weichel with the stand-up about even. My Card: 10-9 Weichel

Round 3 – This round Weichel takedown Sanchez and actually keeps him there for a little over a minute. Furthering his position to taking his back but again, you guessed it NO DAMAGE! They exchange good combos each and Sanchez has a lot more energy than Weichel standing up connected with better combos with a little more power than the earlier rounds but Weichel still looking for takedowns. The round ends with Sanchez pumping up the crowd? Which is very confusing to me…….. I personally gave the round to Sanchez just based on aggressiveness and a minor power advantage in the striking. My Card 10-9 Sanchez

Final Result- My Card: 29-28 Weichel 
Bellator Judges- Daniel Weichel wins by split decision over Emmanuel Sanchez 

Bruna Vargas vs Emily Ducote
Round 1 – Bruna leads with a great combo to begin with. Both women exchange good strikes with it leading to Emily connecting with 2 great overhand rights wobbling Vargas. Emily follows the cage battle with a takedown struggling with Bruna Vargas ending up on top. Bruno stays there for about 2 minutes trying to pass but failing ending the round laying on top with no punches really landing. My Card 10-9 Vargas

Round 2 – Emily Ducote comes out with a mean overhand right again, this time rocking Bruna to the floor! Following it up by taking her back with some ground and pound. Right after a few punches to the head on her backside she slips Bruna into a rear naked choke. Getting the tap immediately making this her first submission victory in her career.

Winner: Emily Ducote 2nd Round Rear Naked Choke Submission

Melvin Guillard vs Dan Rickles
Round 1 – Rickles is the crowd favorite being from Kansas. Guillard and Rickles both come out aggressive trying to land bombs and missile leg kicks. The fight is stopped abruptly when Rickles lands a left kick in the *family jewels*. Almost in the blink of an eye when fight resumes Guillard and Rickles hug against the cage, while separating Melvin lands a mean right forearm to Dan Rickles’ forehead putting him on danger street on his back. Melvin Guillard violently lands elbow after elbow with the referee stepping in to stop the fight! Melvin announces he is moving up to 170lbs after missing weight in the post fight interview.

Winner: Melvin Guillard Round 1 TKO Elbows Ground and Pound

Darrion Caldwell vs Joe Taimanglo
Round 1 – Caldwell and Joe missing big with right hooks. Joe tries a takedown terribly and missing more front kicks. Finally a successful takedown by Darrion. Passes aggressively to mount for a split second doing absolutely nothing with it. Taimanglo scrambling but held down by Caldwell. Joe does a good job to eventually stand up but they hug and go right back down with a chimera attempt by Darrion. Joe escapes and takes Caldwell’s back, both fighters fight for position to end the round. Considering both fighters are explosive it was a very boring round. My Card 10-9 Caldwell

Round 2 – Touch gloves and a missed roundhouse kick by Darrion Caldwell. Joe connects with a body kick but slips and eats a flying knee from Darrion doing moderate damage looking for a guillotine choke. Joe and Caldwell struggle to their feet with both fighters still not fighting like themselves. Joe misses a right giving Darrion another takedown into half guard. I zoned out for about a minute and they are still on the ground doing nothing. Rib shots which I consider love taps from Caldwell. John McCarthy stands them up. Thank You! Joe spears Darrion against the cage to end the round. My Card 10-9 Caldwell

Round 3 – Takedown attempt missed by Caldwell, quickly into a guillotine by Joe Taimanglo and a very quick tap! If you blinked you missed it! 10 Seconds into the Third Round a comeback victory by guillotine choke via Joe Taimanglo! What Just Happened?!?

Winner Joe Taimanglo via Guillotine Choke Round 3

Final Thoughts: Bellator 159 did have some moments of brilliance but overall it did kind of perform sub-par tonight. I do believe Bellator as a company is going to get better as a whole. Unfortunately a lot of the fights they seem to bring together don’t bring the fireworks as expected. We did see some surprise finishes but I feel it was overshadowed by the unaggressive rounds prior. Joe Taimanglo and Melvin Guillard both missed weight which made me feel like I was watching Season One of UFC’s Ultimate Fighter. I know it is absolutely insanely hard to do what these fighters do on a daily basis but as they say…. you had one job to make-weight! The only fight I wish went differently was Dan Rickles versus Melvin Guillard. Dan was the home state guy and he does do a lot of charity work which I always respect. Bellator I know you will get better but again we raise the question of is a takedown worth more than a significant strike? We didn’t find out tonight but as I said before, Bellator I Believe In You!

Rumor Mill: WWE Bringing Back MVP/Shelton Benjamin?

An article by Mike Killam of wrestlezone.com which you can view by clicking HERE! states that the former WWE veterans may be making in-ring returns. A podcast called the Gerwick Report, recently had former Smackdown GM Teddy Long as a guest on it. Teddy Long had spoken with MVP and rumor has it that he has already signed with the company and is waiting to hear back from the doctors to be cleared for in-ring competition. Teddy also implied that the return of Shelton Benjamin is on its way also which could bring back recognition to the lesser United States and Intercontinental Titles.

Shelton Benjamin could definitely be an awesome addition to the team of recent Smackdown Draftees American Alpha (Jason Jordan, Chad Gable). Shelton is a world-class athlete who could teach some of the upcoming NXT wrestlers a thing or two. MVP would open opportunities in every title situation as he has shown his wide range of skills from tag teaming to singles competition. Let’s be honest for a second, the stuff MVP did with TNA was not that bad! Unfortunately not too many eyes were on the product at the time but again as a boss in TNA or a star in Japan, it is a great addition for WWE if they do add both of these awesome veteran wrestlers.

Will Ospreay Reportedly Signs WWNLIVE Contract

According to an article posted by pwtorch.com Click HERE to read it. The rising star Will Ospreay has apparently signed a contract with WWNLIVE. At Paul Heyman’s One Man Show in the U.K. over a week ago, Paul gave Will Ospreay an envelope telling him when he is done with New Japan to “give him a call.” If this turns out to be true it could open many doors for Will as he has been the hottest wrestler in the business over this past year.

Although he has some unfinished business with the man they call “Vader.” Ironically this feud started over Twitter, which nowadays doesn’t sound so weird to say. Still kind of blows my mind the attention people get from social media but that is today’s world. Vader had aggressively critiqued the match between Ricochet (Prince Puma) and Will saying matches like that will eventually kill the business and seemed more like a dance routine. Will responded with a tweet saying ” Just throwing it out there I would absolutely love to face @itsvadertime people think I hate him but i don’t, I genuinely want this match.” 

If these rumors are true and Will Ospreay does eventually become business buddies with Paul……..Heyman! I can’t even wrap my head around how excited I would be if he eventually got a gig in NXT/WWE someday. Endless possibilities and the “Pop” for his performance every night would make WWE that much better of a product. Paul Heyman is a very persuasive voice in the industry with a savvy like nobody else to negotiate. I am excited just thinking about it! Anything is possible with the shift that these wrestling companies have recently showed in their product. The first step for the hottest wrestler Will Ospreay is taking down Vader on August 12th, in the York Hall Bethnal Green at Revolution Pro’s UPRISING!

A Look Back At Season 1 Of Mr.Robot

We have all had that feeling of being watched. Seeing something that isn’t there, perhaps hearing a little voice saying “you can” or “you can’t.” Mr.Robot the drama filled Emmy nominated show takes those things and cranks it up to high voltage. A young man named Elliot, an introverted schizophrenic hacker, who believes he can save the world with the redistribution of power amongst the middle and lower class by hacking. Fueled by revenge and not knowing the difference between illusion and reality. Fighting a drug addiction and everyday bi-polar tendencies. If your brain doesn’t like to think this is not a show for you.

In Season 1 without giving away too many spoilers we go on a rollercoaster through the minds of Elliot and his closest group consisting of family/friends and possibly… his already deceased father. He sees his father in the flesh (which nobody else can see) guiding him through his next move and purpose in life. Disagreeing through stages but ultimately having the same goal in mind…..hacking the “invisible hand.” The creator Sam Esmail does a fantastic job of blurring reality with fiction, along with good and evil. Questions about the daily system in life with rules we HAVE to follow. Elliot creates a hacker group known as FSOCIETY which gets him and his peers into some serious trouble on numerous occasions which only Houdini would be able to escape.

Elliot works for a company called AllSafe as an IT guy. His childhood friend Angela works at AllSafe as well. Angela and Elliot became friends as a result of Angela’s Mom and Elliot’s Dad (Mr.Robot) losing a battle with leukemia from radiation, both working at a company referred to as Evil Corp. Ironically a majority of the profit/jobs that keeps AllSafe a company is from Evil Corp. Angela does not really understand the hacker independent side of Elliot fully quite yet which causes some rumbles in their friendship. Elliot wants to save the world by hacking but how far did he go? Will he ever have control of Mr.Robot?

Below is a character description based on Season 1 of Mr.Robot

Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek) – A schizophrenic introverted hacker trying to get revenge for his father’s death with a heart to save the world. Works at AllSafe as an IT guy. Created a hacker group called FSOCIETY to take credit for his hacks. The line of illusion and reality is very blurred for him as a result of a cloudy memory. Addiction has controlled him throughout rough times in his life. Father died from leukemia as a result of radiation from working at Evil Corp. One of the reasons I love this show is because I relate a lot to Elliot. That feeling of not knowing why you have certain thoughts and visions. Wanting so bad to help the world but not knowing how. Elliot wearing a hoodie all the time is a character I have kind of always dreamt of playing if I was an actor and let’s be honest sometimes we don’t know the difference between good and evil or if it even exists. If there was ever a character I wish I created it is Elliot Alderson. Not to mention his awesome hacking skills!

Angela Moss (Portia Doubleday) – Childhood friend whose mother also died from leukemia as a result of radiation from working at Evil Corp. Works at AllSafe with Elliot also in the IT department. Craves recognition from doing a good job. Breaks up with a boyfriend named Ollie who was cheating on her. Not much confidence in herself, doesn’t take many risks. Cares a lot about Elliot and tries to look after him. Angela seems like the girl who never gets in trouble and can’t take criticism when she does. That girl who is pretty and is too good for anybody. Ultimately I can see Elliot and Angela becoming rivals in a way and going in different directions. To me Angela shops at Hollister and drinks Starbucks everyday which number 2 on her priority list right after, always being right. I would date her for about one month until her true colors were revealed.

Darlene (Carly Chaikin) – *Spoiler* Elliot’s sister. Also a part of the hacking group FSOCIETY. Hates big corporations and upper class. Wants to divide the power equally amongst everyone. A girl who says what she wants with no filter. Darlene does seem to be impatient and having a problem with the word “No.” At times takes matter into her own hands. Understands Elliot as best as anybody could I guess. Definitely comes off as the ticking time bomb type. In one scene she even complains about her boyfriend proposing to her and how disrespectful it was! The loud and obnoxious type who will make a scene and quickly find 1,001 excuses as to why she did. Not the girlfriend type in my educated opinion.

Tyrell Wellick (Martin Wallström) – Employee at Evil Corp who loses his job after questioning about a murder. Will do anything to become the permanent CTO of Evil Corp. Pays money to a homeless man to release anger. Had sex with a guy just to better his position in the company. Tyrell caught onto Elliot’s antics right from the beginning and knows he is up to something big. Snake like personality. This is a character who is very interesting and not necessarily a “by the book” type of guy. Sometimes I see him as too much and going overboard but with all the thinking in this show, it is refreshing to see someone who just goes about their business to get what they want. It confuses me when he has such a gorgeous wife (Joanna) who will let him do whatever he wants to her and he chooses to beat up homeless guys and party at a gay club just to move in the job rankings.

Joanna Wellick (Stephanie Corneliussen) – Wife of Tyrell Wellick. Believes that everyone has a strength/weakness to exploit. Becomes curious of Tyrell’s antics as he is not 100% honest with her. Pregnant with Tyrell’s baby. She allows Tyrell to do whatever he needs to gain the job of CTO. Joanna has a fetish in the bedroom with a rape-like scenario being her turn on. Stands by Tyrell no matter what. Aside from being gorgeous, Joanna is also a character I want to know more about. She is kind of mysterious and keeps to herself. Joanna has been calm throughout the whole show and I am wondering if she will ever have that exploding moment. I think there is always something deeper but as viewers we will just have to see if she is hiding everything or nothing?

White Rose (Bradley Darryl Wong) – A transgender prestigious hacker helping fsociety. White Rose is very mysterious character which we as the viewer do not know much about. The only rule White Rose seems to have is being on time with deadlines. *Spoiler Alert* Works with head of Evil Corp Phillip Price on some sort of basis. White Rose is an amazing character to me because of the weirdness and unique style of rules he/she brings to the table. Why is time so important to this particular creation from Sam Esmail. I believe something big is in the works between White Rose, Evil Corp and Elliot Alderson.

Phillip Price (Michael Cristofer) – CEO of Evil Corp. Shows no emotion or remorse. Believes in the “it is what it is” mantra. Very conniving and has a way with words. In a very creepy way makes you feel comfortable when talking to him. Power Hungry with a switch to be a chameleon to whatever type of setting he is in. This guy is definitely your typical corporate villain. Somebody who I hate as well. I don’t understand who a person has no reaction especially after tragedy. He seems a bit too laid back for a CEO in my opinion and besides the fact that I believe he would nuke his own house if he had the chance, why is he working with White Rose? Something smells fishy with him and I don’t like it one bit.

Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) – Eliot’s Dad. Died from leukemia in a radiation occurrence from working at Evil Corp. Comes back as Eliot’s voice in his head but as a physical presence which only Eliot can see. Controls Eliot’s next move and has revengeful taste to destroy Evil Corp and anything in his way. Protective of his family especially Eliot. Wants to “save the world’ through Eliot’s hacks. Mr.Robot aside from Elliot is also one of my favorites. I love how he backs up every decision with facts and motivating speeches. Telling you straight up how the world really is and we all need to Wake Up! I don’t think he would out his son Elliot into any danger he knew he couldn’t handle. But why is trying to manipulate Elliot so aggressively to do what he wants. Another masterfully presented actor I am truly jealous of.

*Spoilers Ahead* Turn Back NOW!

At the end of the season, after the big hack takes place and we discover Mr.Robot is Elliot this whole time, we are left with many questions. Why is Tyrell Wellick wanted by the F.B.I.? Where is Tyrell Wellick? How is the world going to recover after all the debt in the world has vanished into thin air? Will Elliot ever get caught? How come Mr.Robot controls Elliot? These are just a few of the zillion question marks leaving us hanging after Season One. Sam Esmail thank you for creating such a masterful television show. Mr. Robot is by far my favorite show in recent memory not counting cartoons or comics. My brain hurts from waiting every week for the next episode of Mr.Robot.
