okay, it's wrestling again...

yestery, I was watching the wresting. (Surprise, surprise). And I was the World Champion (John Cena, of course) list the Big Show (no small man at 500 pounds) over his head and slam him down giving him the advangtage, allowing him to pin him and win the match. According to the conversion tool on my cell phone that is a staggering 226 kilograms. That is amazing if you actually think about it. I do realise that John is a big man himself, and probably weighs 220, 230 pounds himself, but even so, that is staggering. He picked him up as if he weighed nothing. No veins popped out on his neck or anything. I am in awe of him. He is indeed worthy of holding on to his title.

Now normally, these types of matches are won by other means - cheating, trickery, kicking in rude places, but if you watch wrestling, you will know that John Cena is one of the good guys, and never stoops to doing anything of that sort. He is truly worthy of his followers, children and adults alike - the Chain Gang as they are known, and he is also (like Batista) one of the best proportioned wrestlers, looking normal, and therefore deceptively human. Perhaps this is why it was such a feat of superhuman strength when he picked up the Big Show and slammed him down, showing his mastery of the ring once again.

I know it surprised the commentators, but then - it really is an act, and all a show, but watching from the ramp was the Game (who used to be THE man, but has questionable ethics and moral values, and is known for cheating and double-teaming), and even he was visibly surprised and was clearly mouthing words which showed his surprise. Then what followed was the typical alpha male behaviour of "you and me at WrestleMania" crap etc, but we all know who will win.

Go John Go.

The Chain Gang will there to support you, and unless there is cheating, and sledge hammers hidden under the ring by the Game, you WILL win.

There are still heros out there for children to look up to, and I am glad. I just hope he does not do drugs on the sly...
