√ Woman's World Championship Triple Threat Match: (c) Iyo Sky defeats Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair. Iyo has been pretty much ignored by the other two competitors leading up to this match, which will continue during this match too. Iyo pins Rhea so the "Rhea can't beat Iyo" story can continue. Plus it also keeps the "Bianca has never been pinned or submitted at Wrestelmania" story going too.
√ Sin City Street Fight: Drew McIntyre defeats Damian Priest. The sad part is both of these guys desperately need a win. But I think Paul HHH has decided that Priest is not main event worthy and with this loss will be dropping back down to the mid card. If this match opens the night, then maybe Priest wins. But I don't think so.
√ Intercontinental Fatal Four-Way Match: Dominik Mysterio defeats (c) Bron Breaker, Penta & Finn Balor. It's time to move Dom up. He's still great on the mike and his in ring work has improved greatly. Either Dom pins Pinn Balor or Balor hits his move on Penta only for Dom to attack him and steal the pin. This leads to the break up of the Judgement Day and gets the title off of Bron without him losing so he can move up the card.
√ Randy Orton Open Challenge Match: Despite who his opponent is, Randy is taking the win here. The next PLE is taking place in St. Louis, Randy's hometown, so he'll be challenging the winner of Rhodes/Cena there. Rumor is his opponent will be the returning Rusev (thanks for the spoiler Big E) or maybe Solo Sikoa. I hope it's not Rusev. He should return on the RAM or SAM and certainly shouldn't take a loss in his return match.
√ Logan Paul defeats AJ Styles. Short and to the point, Logan hasn't won in quite a while and AJ, nearing the end of his career, can take the loss. My prediction for who's in the Prime bottle this year is Karrion Kross.
X Woman's World Tag Team Title Match: (c) Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez defeat Lyra Valkyria and a mystery partner (most likely Becky Lynch). I don't think Becky is coming back full time, which is why I'm picking the champs to retain. I suppose they could do a thing where Becky is just "filling in" for Bayley and then Bayley becomes the co-champion. But I think the champs win with Shenanigans which makes Aldis put the match on the SAM with a suddenly healed Bayley and they win them there.
√ Undisputed WWE Championship Match: John Cena beats (c) Cody Rhodes. This match will be loaded with shenanigans. But Cena winning is the much more interesting option. Then he takes on Randy at Backlash (in Randy's home town), then CM Punk at Money In The Bank (c'mon, this HAS to happen). I'll be honest, I have no idea what they'll do with Cody afterwords, but I'm intrigued to find out. Also, Cody got pretty boo'd on Smackdown by the Las Vegas crowd. Curious to see if that will continue tonight.
This is beautiful.
So incredible. 😍
Yes.
I did something today that I had been wanting to do for years now.
I made an apology.
I had been wanting to make this apology for so long now. I kept hoping that I would someday run into her at a super market or a bar or something and I could make my apology to her.
Back in the early ‘90s, we were in a relationship. Not a long time, maybe 6 months at most. And the entire time, I just treated her horribly. Not physically, but mentally & emotionally, I was just the absolute shits to her.
And I know why I did. I had been really mistreated in the past two relationships before this one, and I took it out on her. I took all my anger, my frustration, my sorrow out of me and I fed it to her. It’s not an excuse, because there is no excuse really. It’s just the sad fact.
I didn’t realize what I was doing then. It was quite a while after it was over that I saw what I had done. And I felt ashamed for having done it. And I felt sorry for her for having to experience it. And I hated myself for doing it. For treating her the way I had been treated. Why would I do that? (Looking back now, I realize that this is probably where the true self-loathing that would come to define most of the past 20+ years of my life probably began. The first step on a long road.)
Ever since I became aware of what I had done, I had been wanting to see her again so I could apologize. Not for my own sake. But because she genuinely deserved it.
Today it hit me that it would probably be really easy for me to find her on Facebook. We probably had mutual friends that would make it easy to identify her in a search. And I was right. I did a search for her and, due to mutual friends, it took me all of 10 seconds to find her.
I clicked the message button and wrote my apology. It wasn’t long before i got a reply thanking me for the apology and wishing me well. I don’t know if she really means it; you can’t tell on the internet. But if she’s still the person I knew then, then she probably does.
I’m always amazed at how songs become attached to moments or people in your life.
I hear Born To Be Wild, and I remember a road trip with a friend so she can check out a job possibility in Massachusetts. When that song came on we cranked the radio and belted out the chorus at the top of our lungs.
Gimme Three Steps makes me think of the boss who was always amazed that the song was based on a real story. He would mention it every time the song would come on and excitedly go on and on about it.
I hear Charlie Daniels, or Run DMC, or Mary J Blige and I think of the special women who have been in my life. If it wasn’t for them I never would’ve given these styles of music a fair chance.
Whenever Dream On plays, I remember trips to Hampton Beach with friends. We would always end the trips standing on the beach singing that song.
I could go on and on and bore you with songs and the memories associated with them, but I won’t. But if ever a song comes on, and I get a little smile on my face and maybe even give a snicker, you know why.
This is so wholesome
Tips for living alone
Buy a bat (I have my old color guard rifle) or similar. Keep it in your room/near your bed.
Get a lock for your bedroom door.
If you’re moving into a new place, change the locks. Who knows who had a key to your place before you.
Keep your phone/a phone in your room.
Get a weather alert system set up. App, weather call, little weather radio that tells you about major weather events.
Adopt a pet
Wave at your neighbors. Take note of the ones that make you uneasy. Watch out for kids always.
Be nice to your mail person. No matter what.
If you choose to drink/etc alone, unplug your wifi router. You’ll thank me.
Have extra seating. People sit when they visit. Your one comfy chair is great for you. Not so great for you + grandma + ur five cousins, your aunt, and a couple others.
Learn the self-Heimlich
When you take a shower, bring your phone to the bathroom in case you fall your phone is no longer halfway across the house, it’s just on your counter
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Idk what else
I went to whack at a spider while dreaming and then I whacked my bedside table in real life and almost broke my glasses.
TIME OUT! I called time out!
Everyone wins.
No theme, no plan. Just what's going through my head at any time that I want to write about.
