18-0

So long never update, I'm ashamed.

NEWS
Results came out, don't wanna talk about it.

I've just finished my 3 week adventure around Asia. How do I feel? Hmm... not bad, I really miss Taiwan coldass weather. Indonesia was cool too. Except for when some certain 2 idiots got drunk. They claim not to, but think about it, when was the last time someone told you "I think I'm drunk", let alone "I'm drunk"? Whatever, glad to be back in the most developed country in South East Asia.

WRESTLING
You may be wondering what the 18-0 in the title stands for. But chances are if you're reading this section you already know it. Wrestlemania XXVI has come and gone and the Undertaker's streak has yet to be broken. So one legend continues to grow, but sadly another has to die. As part of the storyline and as a result of his loss to the Phenom, Shawn Michaels has been made to retire. This signals the end of a storied 26-year career where the Heart Break Kid battled his way through to the top the ranks in the WWE. Throughout his 22-year stint with WWE, Michaels won back-to-back royal rumbles, created DX, won a plethora of championships, retired, unretired, won a few more championships and so on and so forth. It is only fitting that "Mr. Wrestlemania" ends his career at the grandest stage of them all. Thank you, Shawn Michaels.

While we are on the topic of streaks let's talk about other Wrestlemania streaks. Two other streaks have recently finished. Edge lost to the Undertaker 2 years ago and John Cena was pinned last year, ending their respective WM undefeated streaks. But one other streak continues to live on. Vincent Kennedy McMahon's legendary 0-4 winless streak at Wrestlemania. This is without the managerial matches. With them his record is even more magnificent at 0-6. It's just sad. See for yourself
WM 2000: Managed The Rock. Loss
WM X-Seven: loss vs Shane McMahon via pinfall
WM XIX: loss vs Hulk Hogan via pinfall
WM 22: loss vs Shawn Michaels via pinfall
WM 23: Managed Umaga. Loss vs Bobby Lashley via pinfall
WM XXVI: loss vs Bret Hart via submission (sharpshooter)
Will he ever get a win? maybe. All four of those matches have something in common. They're all No Holds Barred matches. Maybe, just maybe if he decides to wrestle in a traditional match, who knows, he might just get that first win :)

Final Comment
John Cena won. Was there any doubt?
