Wrestling World on Fire since I’ve been gone! 

Well.. I’ve been M.I.A. From the blog world for about 2 weeks, but it’s been a very crazy and busy 2 weeks… Work has been booming with new accounts and business and I’m back training, getting ready to fight again (which I will keep you all up to date with) so it’s been wild. Let me just tell you my schedule for a day in the life of Mike Colon… I wake up at 4:45am and I’m at the gym by 5:15-5:30am. I get my weight training in and I’m showed and out of my superman outfit and into my Clark Kent suit by 7:30am. With a 40 minute drive, I’m at the office by 8:30. I figure out where my accounts are for that day and I’m in queens or Brooklyn or wherever the road takes me by noon. I’m back in town by 3:30-4, finish up some paperwork at the office and I’m back at the gym by 5:30-6. Depending on what day of the week it is, I’m either training boxing, Jiu Jitsu, wrestling (not the wwe style) or Muy Thai and I always finish with a hard cardio workout. I’m home by 9, I do my meal prep for the next day and I’m out cold by 10:30-11. Similar to Paul Heyman’s eat sleep repeat, that’s how it is the next day, it’s repeat… If it’s a Wednesday, I try to be home by 8 just so I can make it in time for Mark’d up, which you can always watch at Marks4life.net… 

Crazy schedule right? 

But enough with me and my crazy life, let’s Mark out and talk what we all love and that’s wrestling. I’ve missed out on a lot of interesting topics to share my views and opinions about, but I’m back so let’s get the ball rolling! 

First off… Here’s when the internet fans begin to cry… 
  • Daniel Bryan Injured… Again! Now I don’t know the extent or the time table for the injury is, but he was pulled off of the European tour and may not be in Raw because of it. And the fans went nuts when Roman was chosen for the rumble win and not Bryan… Maybe the WWE made the right decision.. Maybe by not putting the WWE Title on Bryan, it eliminated them having to deal with what they dealt with last year, maybe they knew he would eventually be injured soon again and went with what’s best for their business. This is art imitating life again, Whatever is going on, I hope Bryan a speedy recovery and I also hope that he slows down the intensity in ring to avoid these situations because now he’s known as an injury prone guy. 

Adrian Neville… Or just Neville… He has been a subject of conversations lately and both sides make valid points. Most feel that the way he’s being booked is going to kill the character and bury him with him losing every single week, others including myself feel that even though with these loses, he’s getting over. I feel that not only is he being placed against top guys but he’s getting a lot of TV time to showcase what he can do. But now it’s time to have a plan for this guy. To steal the term “One of a kind”, Neville is one of a kind, you don’t get many guys built like him who can move in the ring like him, not to mention he can deliver a 5 star match. The WWE can’t just use this guy as just another guy on the roster, or an Evan Bourne 2.0, they need to start capitalizing on what this guy can do in the ring and start getting him into a program. Going from guys like Rollins and Ziggler to Axel is taking steps backwards and that’s what could hurt him.  ITS TIME FOR A PLAN! What freaks me out is Vince will overlook guys like Neville or Sami Zayn due to their size. It’s sad and it sickens me to say this but a guy like Baron Corbin, who in my opinion is absolutely horible, would get a better push. 

  • Taz Quits TNA… I’ve always been a huge Taz fan. The first ever ECW Event I saw was Guilty as Charged 99, when Taz first won the ECW Title… That was ONE of the main reasons why I loved ECW, because of guys like Taz. Now maybe it’s just me, but I’d absolutely LOVE to see Taz calling NXT. Some people don’t like him on commentary but I have to say, he’s much better than who they have on the main roster 3 man team. 
There’s so much to touch on but one more thing I’m going to hit was the rumors of UFC Heavyweight Champion Cane Velasquez having a possible future in the WWE… Brock Lesnar just shit himself hearing this… Velasquez was the man who not only beat Lesnar for the title, but made him look like a fool, like a child being whooped by his mother, like he didn’t belong in the cage. Velasquez actually addressed these rumors on The Roman Show (not Roman Reigns) saying “Not anytime soon,” I am focused on this fight against Werdum at UFC 188. Let’s see what happens on my career in fighting although I can never say never. We will just have to wait.” Credit to (The Roman show for the quotes). Velasquez is a natural athlete who can adapt to anything, with the right training down at the performance center and help learning how to cut promos, in my opinion Velasquez would be a special attraction waiting to happen. 
I know there’s so much I’ve missed out on in the world of professional wrestling, TNA and their pay issues, The Briscoes resigning with ROH, things like that are good topics to dive in on, but I don’t want to overload too much right now, I’m just happy to finally have time to do what I love and that’s write about wrestling. Tonight I’m headed to Raw live in Albany NY, so I’m sure to have a good piece this week about that. And for those who will be at Raw tonight, come say hi, I’ll be in section 125 Row N. 
Happy Monday Marks!
