So I can already sense that this recommendation isn't going to go well because, if it goes like the last wrestling themed recommendation, not many people are going to read it. Well it's fair enough, wrestling is not everyone's cup of tea,but it is my cup of tea, coffee, soup in a cup, soft drink, hard drink, hot chocolate and mountain dew (bro). Basically, I love wrestling. "So why do a wrestling theme if you already did that one?" You ask. Well, first of all, thank you for saying that in quotation marks, it makes it easier to see that you are asking the question rather than me, and secondly because IT'S WRESTLEMANIA NIGHT! That's right, the annual wrestling event that blows every other wrestling event (or any sporting event in fact) clean out of the water is TONIGHT! Which I won't be watching until Friday. Because it starts at like midnight and it's like four hours plus and Friday is the closest day I have off so yeah. So to celebrate Wrestlemania 31 (which is just being labelled as Wrestlemania for some reason), I'm going to recommend a bunch of wrestling stuff! Seriously though, if you don't like wrestling but opened the link to support the site anyway, I really appreciate that, but I'm not really going to make this non-fan friendly, so you may not understand half the shit I say (or you might, I haven't started writing the main body yet so I may just not say anything that uncommon,) so sorry about that dear viewer. The view was a wonderful thought though and I thank you a million times. WRESTLING TIME!
NXT TakeOver: R Evolution - NXT (PPV)
So to start the ball rolling, I'm going to recommend my favourite pay per view of recent, and that is NXT TakeOver: R Evolution. Now it could be argued that this is not a pay per view, as you can't pay anywhere to view it, it could (and still can) be seen on the WWE Network (for the low low price of $9.99, or in English money, £9.99. Wait that isn't right, who at WWE corporate converted that?), but I still consider it to be a PPV, because it was formatted as one (despite the actual payment thing.) So I love NXT, I personally prefer NXT overall (but don't get me wrong, I do like the main stuff), due to their superior wrestling ability, writing, crowd energy, and female wrestling opportunities (seriously WWE, what's up with your gender game?), so when I was informed that NXT did pay per views better too, I instantly believed this. I was not prepared for just how much better it would be. Everything about it was perfect, the energy, the booking, the matches, and the end. I mean holy shit this has one of the greatest endings to a pay per view, and I'm not just referring to the final match (which was Adrian Neville against Sami Zayn for the title), which was insanely good, but the aftermath. God this pay per view is what got me re-hooked on wrestling. If you love wrestling in general, you will love NXT, and you will absolutely love R Evolution. I mean the name is a bit dodgy but you know, nothing is truly perfect.
Rise - David Guetta feat. Skylar Grey (Music)
So I don't know much about David Guetta (or Skylar Grey), so they may be shit heads for all I know. I've never head anything by them either, apart from this one song. Why have I heard this song? Well let me tell you billy boy, it's the Wrestlemania 31 theme! It's a nice little tune, the beat is good, it's a tad groovy, and Skylar Grey has a beautiful voice. However, the main reason I love this song is literally due to the hype factor. Whenever I watch NXT, the advert break features an advert for how many days until Wrestlemania 31 (obviously not all year round, it started when there was a month to go), and the song really works well with the advert. In fact, when it ends with the logo appearing, Grey singing, and the number of days appearing, it just works so perfectly. That's why I like this song, because it reminds me of what's coming, and I am extremely pumped. Like worryingly so. Don't send help though, send Doritos. Bro. (One more bro for the hat trick.)
WWE 2K15 - 2K Games (Game)
"Jesus Christ you recommended this already!" You may be screaming at your monitors. Well if you are referring to the Top Five Games of 2014 (According to Chris), then first of all, thank you for remembering something I wrote (I put so much effort into that seriously), and secondly, THAT WASN'T A WEEKLY RECOMMENDATION NOW WAS IT? Anyway, if you go back to that piece, you can get my general opinion of the game, I basically covered everything in it, but since then, they have added a bunch of new content, and I think it's relevant to mention because on Tuesday, they are adding The Path of the Warrior DLC, which adds a story mode based on the Ultimate Warrior, and features a huge amount of retro WWE content, including the utterly amazing Randy Savage. Seriously, he's the cream of the crop, and I'm super happy he just got added to the Hall of Fame. This game was good in my opinion, and with the addition of all this content (and all the content they've added since I last mentioned this game), this game is really good. Especially if you love wrestling. OH YEAHHHHHHHH! BROTHER! (Does that count as the hat trick?)
So there you have it, a bunch of wrestling stuff that is kind of related to Wrestlemania 31 (actually, the song is completely relevant). I hope all of you find a way to watch it, because it's going to be super hype, and also I want someone to talk to about it. See you next week for our return to non-wrestling related content. Unless wrestling related stuff somehow is able to fit into next weeks theme. Which it could for all we know. WRESTLING!
