Wrestlemania 40
No matter how hard I tried to avoid it, I always found myself stuck in the same position. Punk and I would ‘make up’ just for him to say something stupid to make me go back to hating him. When Phill got injured I hated myself for how it made me feel. I felt like he deserved it. I found it hilarious but at the same time depressing. This was karma biting him in the ass. Karma’s a bitch, he should have known better. He should have known that he coudn’t just show up in WWE 10 years after getting fired and expect to win the world title in the main event of Wrestlemania! I told myself I wound’t fall into his traps. I had to be strong, I had to learn to fight the devil. The thing about the devil is that he isn’t a little red man with horns and a tail. He can be beautiful. He’s a fallen angel who used to be God’s favourite. 
After the Royal Rumble, I didn’t watch any of the WWE products. I had my own things to worry about. Instead of crying myself to sleep, mourning the man I once loved I would write. Instead of bottling up my emotions, I would release them in the form of poetry. No matter how hard I tried it seemed like a part of Punk would forever be a part of me. I tried to forget, I tried to forgive but I just coudn’t. I wanted to run away, I wanted to disappear, I wanted to die. I felt sorry for myself.
I would go on walks in the park to clear my mind but all it ever did was create a dark cloud above my head. I would watch the mothers playing with their children, I saw how happy they looked. I wanted to be like them. I accepted long ago I would never get to have that. Maybe that’s the part of Phill that lived inside me. The scar on my abdomen reminded me of what we could have had. 
It was no secret that Phill and I had an age gap. I was only 23 when I began going out with him. My parents didn’t approve of our relationship. Not because he was 34 and I was 23, not because he had tattoos, Phill was even straight edge. My parents just simply didn’t like him. Why? I’m not sure. He took care of me. He loved me. He taught me how to love again, something I never thought I would be able to do. 
He would hold me close as he kissed my scars, telling me that he would never hurt me but when in reality he would cause me the greatest pain. He left me no choice, I hated who he had become. I handed Phill divorce papers and wondered if I was doing the right thing. Was I really willing to throw 10 years of marriage down the drain?  Despite us being divorced for some time now I can't seem to get him out of my head. He won't leave me alone, claiming I need you and I do need you. I miss you, I miss your touch, I miss the way you would make me feel but you can never know that. Now I sit here admiring the fresh wound on my wrist, a wound you promised you would never cause yet you did.
I wondered what Phill would say about the person I’ve become. I know he would be disappointed in me. I had fallen back into my old habits. I had become that mentally unstable little girl he met years ago. Maybe that’s why my parents didn’t like him. Maybe they thought he was taking advantage of me. Maybe they thought he only wanted me because of my issues, how could play the hero in this story. I felt safe with him. I felt protected. But that was then, this is now. I need to be my own hero in this story. The thing about this story is that it’s not one about puppies and rainbows, this story is cold and dark, filled with horror. 
It was weird seeing Phil at wrestlemania. 10 years ago at wrestlemania 30 I sat in the front row cheering on my soon to be husband. Looking back on it I was happy, I was free. There was something about being 24 with the love of your live that made you feel like you could take on the world. Now at 34 I sit watching at home, a bitter sweet taste on my tongue. This was wrong but it was also right. I was happy for him, but of course those feelings would never last. He just had to go and shit on me and my family once again. This time for absolutely no reason. Everyone had moved on, everyone was over it, or so I thought. 
By now I knew whenever Phil and I were trending at the same time it was not for good reasons. I didn’t want to know why we were trending but it would help to explain why all of a sudden AEW was going to air the backstage footage from All In. I wasn’t surprised that Phill continued to shit on the company and myself. I was just tired of his games, moments like this reminded me why I coudn’t forgive him. Why I wound’t get back together with him. Wrestlemania weekend was his weekend, his time. Why did he spend it all talking about the past. It’s not like he can go back and change everything. He was just making everything worse. 
When I found out the All In footage was being aired I thought it was a joke. Knowing my brothers they would say they would air the footage and the ‘aired footage’ would be the two of them backstage eating donuts with fake fighting sounds in the background. Matthew and Nicholas assured me that it was indeed the real footage that was being aired. They didn’t want to air the footage, it was Tony Khan that insisted on showing the world what really happened. I felt sick, I knew what happened that night. I yelled in the man’s face. If they wanted to paint Phil as the bad guy the should be showing the footage from the brawl out. Everyone knew that all of this would add fuel to the fire but when TK want’s something to happen it happens. Surprisingly he was the most mad about this whole situation. So here I sat in the EVP’s office, being forced to relive a day I wanted to forget forever. 
This should end everything right? Now that everything is out there for the whole world to see they should know Phil was always the bad guy in this situation right? There is nothing else he can say or do to make things even worse than they already are right????
An: This wasn't originally going to have a pt 3. If ya'll would like a pt 4 feel free to leave a very descripted request in my inbox

It's wild to see all the denialism on Twitter about AEW selling 50,000 tickets for Wembley Stadium. Some people insist the building will only be set up for 40k, or that only scalpers are buying the tickets, or even that Tony Khan selling the tickets to himself (which doesn't even make sense).
I get that a lot of weirdos want to predict a massive failure for AEW, and they're not too picky how they come up with their evidence. But with this, there's not much point bullshitting people about something that will be common knowledge in four months. On August 27, that stadium is either going to be full or not. Either half the seats will be blocked off by a stage, or not. There's going to be huge swaths of empty seats where the secondhand market couldn't give tickets away, or there won't be. We'll all be able to see this with our own eyes.
Once we see the crowd, then there'll be room to debate the squishier details. If Wembley looks full you'll get people arguing that it isn't really a sellout, and that AEW fudged the numbers like WWE does. If there's only 35,000 people, there'll be debates about whether AEW had to get a packed house, or if it's still a success as long as the show turns a profit. I'm sure the attendance estimates will always be as controversial as those of Wrestlemania III. But for now, it's pointless to tell me that no one is going to be in that building, when the simplest way to find out is to wait and see.

So *allegedly* the plans for WrestleMania include: Usos vs Zowens, Gunther vs Sheamus III/Gunther vs Drew, Charlotte vs Bianca, Becky vs Ronda, but the interesting thing is Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre/Cody Rhodes for the WWE championship on Night 1 and Roman Reigns vs The Rock/Cody Rhodes for the Universal championship on Night 2.
Apparently the idea is, if they can’t get the Rock, they’ll do Roman vs Cody, Seth vs Drew and Gunther vs Sheamus III, and if they do get The Rock they’ll go with Roman vs the Rock, Seth vs Cody and Gunther vs Drew for the IC Title on Night 1 or 2. The one thing I don’t get is how are they going to split the championships before then?
Tumblr media
So if the get The Rock, we get Seth losing again and Roman retaining both championships. If they don’t get the Rock, we get Cody going for a title he doesn’t deserve, probably definitely winning.
Honestly, I just want Seth Rollins to win one of the both championships and main event Mania. Because that’s what he deserves.

Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Alice Cooper, 1987
There may not be a showman in rock as good as Alice Cooper. He loves the theatrics, the special effects, the stunts, everything. So it only makes sense that Cooper would show up at Wrestlemania.
The match was between Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Honky Tonk Man with over 93,000 people in attendance. Things weren't looking too good with Roberts, until Cooper decided to get in on the action with a little assitance from his 15-foot python Damien. (watch it here!)
Cooper admittedly wasn't a big wrestling fan at the time, but his attitude towards the sport completely changed after that night. “Everything about that was great. I’m a boxing fan … boxing is my favorite thing to watch. Wrestling was showbiz. These guys were bigger than life; they were Megatron. This was when you had Andre the Giant, you had the Junkyard Dog, you had all these great characters,” said Cooper. “I respected it a hundred times more after being backstage.”
