NJ Devils offseason moves

So I’ve been paying a lot of attention to what the Devils have done lately during the offseason since not making the playoffs in 2013 and figured I’d give my ‘two cents’ on the recent moves.

First off, the Devils started the offseason off with a bang when they traded their first round pick to Vancouver for Cory Schneider. No cash exchanging hands, no future considerations, a one-for-one trade that in my opinion is HUGE for the future of this franchise!

It’s no secret, Marty Brodeur isn’t getting any younger and while he’s still Continue reading “NJ Devils offseason moves” →

Randy Orton’s run in with a fan in South Africa

So apparently while WWE was on tour the other day in South Africa, some fan took it upon himself to run into the ring after the mach had ended and low-blow Randy Orton from behind while he was standing on the turnbuckle, celebrating his win.

Ok, first off…WWE makes trips to South Africa what? Like once a year?? So this dude has some pent up animosity against Orton and takes it out on him when they come to the country? Who does this? This guy has to be mentally disturbed/have some sort of mental disability. So if this is the case, who is with him? I don’t know many people who go to wrestling shows alone. And why didn’t someone that he was with attempt to stop him from hopping the guardrail?

Total Divas

So I wanted to post my thoughts on the new WWE reality show, Total Divas which aired on the E! network this past weekend.

The show stars a number of WWE Divas: The Bella Twins (Brie & Nikki), Natalya Neidhart & The Funkadactyls (Trinity & Ariane) along with two new Divas apparently coming up to the main roster from development. From a production standpoint, it’s well produced just as most of WWE’s programming, and it definitely has a bit of a “Tough Enough” feel to it with the way it’s presented.

The show opens up Continue reading “Total Divas” →

Blog site

So just to give a little background as to why & how this site came about…

First & foremost, let me tell ya a little about myself. I, like most people am a fan of what I feel to be quite an eclectic grouping of things. First off, I’m a big professional wrestling fan and like to give my opinions and report on the current goings on in the world of professional wrestling. So much so that I have a facebook group where I sort of do just that and everyone shares their own stuff as well.

I’m also a big professional sports fan, being a diehard New York Yankees & New York Jets fan as well as a big fan of the New Jersey Devils. Each year, I will sometimes post my thoughts on the season, how things went…whether it should be considered a success, etc. I also have played & ran my own fantasy football league for the last 5 years now.

On top of all that, I’m also a Trekkie…I love going to the conventions, getting pictures with the stars & just immersing myself in all things Star Trek for a weekend each year. I’m not opposed to going to these things alone as I’ll always find someone to befriend just about anywhere I go.

I recently got married just over 10 months ago and now have a baby boy on the way coming in November of this year. I work in New York City at Lincoln Center in the box office of the David H. Koch Theater & see some quite interesting people each day. So with all that going on, I definitely have a lot to say about a variety of topics.

So back to my love of professional wrestling…I subscribe to a site called PWInsider.com and one of their columnists has recently started up his own blog called “Tech For Everybody”, a really cool read if you’re just wondering about random things & how they work or why something is the way it is. Anyway…it occurred to me that while I’ve been posting really long thoughts columns to my wrestling facebook group that I really don’t like the way they’re displayed at all on there. So I thought how cool it would be to start a blog & then share the posts to the facebook group so that I’m a bit more organized with how it’s displayed. So voila…MarcsTwoCents.com is born!

Backlash 2004 Fallout

Wow, I’m actually caring enough to do up one of these things! It’s amazing, it really is! Anyway, after last night’s Backlash PPV, I’ve got a whole new feeling about Randy Orton, as I’m sure most of you do too. Last night’s match with Foley was huge for this guy’s career. All I can say is that Foley’s at it again…putting over the younger, up-and-coming talent. He did it for Triple H, he’s done it for the Rock & now he’s doing it for Orton in the one way that he can do it the best…by taking a beating & taking it like a champ.

Last night’s match was unbelievable, the bumps that Orton took, the re-emergence of the barbed wire board, Foley’s threatening of Continue reading “Backlash 2004 Fallout” →

Royal Rumble 2004 Fallout

Well, it’s been one hell of a long time since I’ve gotten up the energy to do up one of these, but considering it’s the Rumble & everything that just happened tonite (yes, I’m writing this at 1am, so technically it IS the 26th, that and I just didn’t want to have two columns from the same date) I’m kinda fired up to see what happens on RAW tonite & SmackDown on Thursday nite.

First, big cheers for the WWE for finally giving SOMETHING to Chris Benoit. Though I’m not the biggest fan of the guy, his ring work is damn solid. So I guess it was just finally his time to be the guy to win the damn thing. He did something that only 2 other men in WWF history have ever done… Continue reading “Royal Rumble 2004 Fallout” →

Remembering The British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith

Davey Boy Smith — we knew him as “the British Bulldog” — passed away while vacationing in British Columbia, Canada.  He was 39 years old.

At present, no official cause of death is known, though published reports have suggested either a heart attack or an accidental choking death may be possibilities.  In any case, what is certain is this: the wrestling world has lost another performer at far too young an age.

Judgment Day 2002 Fallout

The headlines all around the wrestling sites is the untimely death of the British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith. To say I was a fan of his in the mid 90s is an understatement. He was such an accomplished wrestler & I’m going to truly miss him. I do have for you a remberence page up for the British Bulldog, which can be reached by clicking here.

Ok, now that we have Judgment Day 2002 out of the way, maybe we can get on to some decent shows….but that’s not very likely. It might be interesting to see if Continue reading “Judgment Day 2002 Fallout” →

No Way Out 2002 Fallout

Well, now that the 2002 No Way Out PPV is behind us, let’s take a look at where we stand…

Finally, I did something right with main events….I actually got 2 out of 3 right, which is a major step-up for me. Yay for that, but on a more serious note, let’s see where we really stand.

First matter of business is that Chris Jericho seems positioned to be going to WrestleMania X-8 to defend the Unified Title, which is a good thing. The problem is that now the #1 Contenders spot has been given to Continue reading “No Way Out 2002 Fallout” →
