Wrestle Mania 22

I was thinking about John Cena and Dave Batista, and the Game – Triple H.

Compare them physically, and you will see what I mean when I say that John and Dave are the best proportioned of the wrestlers (yes, I am leaving out a few that could be in there, but they are too arrogant and frankly not quite as beautiful – their muscle shapes are not as well proportioned IN MY OPINION).

Batista has a lot more muscle mass, and is clearly much bigger that John, John looks much more normal, and could almost pass as a person who does not pump iron, if you caught a quick glimpse of him.

The Game, on the other hand, is a big blob in comparison. His head kind of slopes into his shoulders and down pinching in at the top of his brookies which make him look fat. Now, they are not fat – I know this. They probably have less body fat than a block of ice, but Triple H LOOKS FAT because he is not as defined. Perhaps he was once, I don’t know.

And herein lies the ultimate test. I remember once my Dad told me a story about Sumo wrestlers, and we watched a match where an older Sumo who had the weight advantage by at least half lost to a younger Sumo who was new school. My Dad told me that it was because they new philosophy was that weight was no longer the thing, but training and strength in the right places, (or something like that) was the thing – thus the age old Japanese philosophy of new things versus old, where old doesn’t always win was shown again.

I believe within myself, and not only because I think that John Cena is a better wrestler, but because it is time for a change of guard, that WM22 will show the new philosophy of new beating old. Cena beating the Game will hold true.

That is unless they have already decided on the winner, and certain contractual obligations will supersede any crowd demands, and the Game will have to win this time.

What a pity that would be.
