Well the year has come and gone in the world of professional wrestling, today on Shotgun Radio we did our year in review show but I thought I'd also do a blog to follow up the show.
Shawn Michaels retires following his Wrestlemania loss to The Undertaker - This was very emotional for anyone who is a HBK fan, I've followed him most of his career while he was in WWE, his farewell speech the next night on Raw was enough to make anyone who was a fan of his cry.
TNA Signs Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff - While this may have been a good idea at first I'm sure, but now I, Like many TNA fans have got to be wondering if this really is a good idea in the long run.
TNA attempts to go to Monday Nights - Well it seemed like a good idea, but really I think each wrestling fan knew it wasn't going to last long. There is no way in hell TNA would of lasted on Monday Night's once Football season came around.
Randy Orton gives a RKO to Evan Bourne in mid-air - This moment I forgot to talk about on the show, but damn this was a hell of a GREAT moment and completely out of no where.
The Nexus debuts and wrecks havoc on WWE & John Cena - This started out to be GREAT i loved how they just raised hell right off the bat and tore the ring apart and destroyed Cena.....Sadly this didn't pan out to what it could be.
Beer Money Inc VS Motor City Machine Guns - Just GREAT Tag Team Wrestling, some of the BEST I've seen in YEARS!
Diva's/Knockouts Go Extreme - Tara and Mickie James kicked this off with a great Steal Cage match on iMpact only for WWE to respond with a Divas table match which also for WWE standards wasn't that bad.
Daniel Bryan V.S Dolph Ziggler - Not very often do you hear "This is Awesome" chants on WWE programming, but when Bryan is on a PPV he is spot on the BEST pure wrestler WWE has right now.
EV2/ECW returns to TNA - This was alright, but I felt it went on a little to long. The one night stand was fine and all but really how many more final moments do these guys need?
WWE Goes OLD School - This was by far one of my personal favorite moments. It was a lot of fun to see WWE try something different and go back to the old school set and the logo for one night very cool. I'd like to see this be turned into a anual event.
Bret Hart returns to the WWE - What more can be said about this moment? I honestly NEVER thought I'd see this happen.
Bret Hart Burys the hatchet with Shawn Michaels - Another one of those moments I thought we'd NEVER see, but at the same time was super cool to see and gave me chills watching it.
RVD wins the TNA World Heavyweight title on iMpact - This was a cool moment for TNA, one of the few good moments for TNA for 2011, This really should of happened on a PPV though.
The Miz cashes in the money in the bank and wins the WWE title - Possibly my most favorite moment of the year.
Wade Barrette pins Cena forcing him to join Nexus - This was a cool moment I thought, it reminded me a lot of Hogan loosing his title to The Undertaker at Survivor Series 91 with all the kids faces. I felt WWE did drop the ball here and Cena will never become a heel.
Ric Flair VS Mick Foley falls count anywhere match - Believe it or not this is a match that stands out to me, I felt Flair did a nice job in this match and both men put a heck of a show.
Michael Cole turns Heel - This I thought added some good heat to the announce team and Michael Cole does a good job playing the heel.
Well that does it for my year in review. Do you have anything that stands out? We'd like to hear from you, Comment below or comment on our Facebook.

WWE TLC PPV Picks
Tonight is WWE's TLC Pay Per View and here are our picks.
Chewy's Pick's
Kane vs. Edge vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Alberto Del Rio in a TLC match for the World Hvt. Championship - I'm taking Edge, he is the only one I think healthy enough right now to carry it, and Del Rio's time has not come yet.
John Cena vs. Wade Barrett in a chairs match - I'd like to say Wade Barrett but we know that won't happen, I'm taking Cena.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Jack Swagger in a Triple Threat ladder match for the Intercontinental Title - I'd like Swagger to win here.
John Morrison vs. Sheamus in a ladder match to become No. 1 contender to the WWE Championship - I'm taking Morrison, I could see Hunter coming back here and costing Sheamus to finish their feud.
Natalya and Beth Phoenix vs. Michelle McCool and Layla in a tag team tables match - Taking Natalya and Beth here.
The Miz VS Randy Orton for the WWE Championship - From what I've been reading I think The Miz is in for a long title reign, especially with Randy still kind of recovering from injury, I could see Miz retain here.
Ziggy's Picks
WWE Champion The Miz vs. Randy Orton (Tables Match)
Zigman's Pick: Miz
World Heavyweight Champion Kane vs. Edge vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Alberto Del Rio (Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match)
Zigman's Pick: Edge

Chewy's Weekend Wrap Up: Talking The Miz, The Slammys, David Arquette, TNA and Much More
What's up everyone? I decided to post this a little bit earlier then normal as i will be out of town Saturday. So here we go with the Weekend Wrap Up!
WWE failed at their attempt at the Slammy Awards, the show was just not very good.
A Diva's battle royal to determine the Diva of the year?! How bout WWE just says alright Diva's wrestling sucks were getting rid of it all together....Might as well not torture us fans any longer with that crap.
Every time David Arquette was announced as a former WCW World Heavyweight Champion i cringed.
When is Eric Bischoff going to bring him to TNA and destroy TNA the way they did WCW?
The Miz appeared on Jimmy Fallon the other night and did a GREAT job, he seems genuinely thrilled to be WWE champ and it still seems surreal for him.
Watching grow up on Real World and to mold into his own made character has been a fun ride for me, which i guess is why i'm such a miz fan.
NXT Season 4 is so far better then last season, hopefully keep Michael Cole off it. Only thing is I wish Tyler Black aka Seth Rollins made the cut. Hopefully next season.
Dixie Carter announced they have resigned Soma Joe, please for the love of GOD USE HIM!!!
The more I think about it the more I see RVD is just another guy now, which is sad to see.
I'd like to see Anderson win the belt from Hardy but what happens after he looses it, does he become just abother guy? That's what frustrates me about TNA.
I see guys like AJ and Anderson and Joe could be the top guys in the company, Morgan not so much, and Hardy is a mental case who should never cut a promo again.
Anyone else notice how all of Jeff Jarrett's crowd opponents aka plants are ALWAYS decked out in TNA gear? Cause the average fan wears the TNA shirts to each taping I'm sure.
TNA is putting together a best of Mick Foley DVD....TWO matches? The one against Sting and the one against Flair from impact? Our good friend Kevin Sullivan made a good point on this "TNA is putting together a best of DVD for Mick Foley, that's like the Washington Wizards putting together a best of DVD for Michael Jordan." Couldn't of said it better myself.
HBK signed a new deal with WWE, it'll be interesting to see what type of deal it is, but I'm glad he did.
TLC is shaping up to be a good card, i'll be interested to see how the divas pull off the tables match.
We will have out TLC picks on the blog tomorrow so be sure to check back for those!
That'll do it for another edition of the weekend wrap up.

Chewy's Weekend Wrap Up: Talking UFC 124, TNA, WWE, and Much More!
Well it's the weekend, which means it's time for another edition of the weekend wrap up.
Tonight is UFC 124 featuring GSP VS Josh Koscheck, GSP will obviously be the heavy favorite, being from Canada and all. I'm not sure who to go for here. I wouldn't mind GSP knocking Josh out with a kick to the head though :-).
TNA Actually put on a good main event on Thursday with a CLEAN finish! God forbid that ever happen! Mickie V.S. Tara are the only two women who could of pulled off that cage match. Mickie's dive off the top onto Tara was insane and Tara competing with an injury was awesome.
As for the rest of iMpact..........i think that sums it up right?
The more i watch TNA though the more I hope Anderson becomes the world champ. But i just don't want him to join fortune i mean they already have half the roster in fortune.
I'm gunna be REALLY interested to see how TNA pulls off another Motor City Machine Guns V.S Beer Money inc tag match.
We have yet another three hour raw this coming Monday with it being the Slammy Awards. Hopefully this raw will be as good as the other two three hour raws they had.
The RKO on Michael Cole was just AWESOME, I thought the team of Josh Matthews, CM Punk and Jerry Lawler worked VERY well together, Matthews has come a long way!
Tyson Kid has a new body guard....are they trying to recreate HBK and Diesel?
So John Cena is supposed to be "fired" Laycool is supposed to STAY on Smackdown! It makes PERFECT sense that their ALL on Raw right?
The Nexus gave Wade a choice to hire Cena back or get kicked out of The Nexus, my guess is this will lead to the much anticipated match between Cena and Barrett at the TLC ppv.
I really hope WWE keeps the belt on The Miz at least until Wrestlemania, I know a lot of fans don't like The Miz but i for one HATE short title runs. They almost always end up being the forgotten champion, kind of like Jack Swagger.
Speaking of Swagger who was once a World Heavyweight Champion is now going for the Intercontinental Championship....Step backwards if you ask me.
Kudos to Kaval for finishing his match on Smackdown! with an injured ankle, no word yet on his MRI results though. Still put on a hell of a match.
Golddust will be out for 4-6 months, tough break for him. His new book entitled Cross Rhodes is currently on sale at wweshop.com, I've heard it's a pretty good read. I need to pick this one up yet.
Well i think that'll do it for this weeks edition of the weekend wrap up! Don't forget to tune in to Shotgun Radio this week on TUESDAY at 2pm central time only on Blog Talk Radio!

Chewy's Weekend Wrap Up: Talking Total Nonstop MMA, Netflix, The Era of AWESOMNESS, 3 Hour Raws and Much More!
What's up everyone?! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and wonderful thanksgiving holiday, Time to get back to normal with another edition of the Weekend Wrap Up.
Anyone else have Netflix? Man that shit is AWESOME, I recently started watching the show Bones because of it, damn good stuff.
Ultimate Fighter Finale tonight, Kind of disappointed Bruce Lee Roy isn't in it, I liked that kid, but I think Michael Johnson will come home with the crown.
The era of Awesomeness has officially begun! No one could be more excited for this then me! As much as it makes Ziggy want to puke.
I was pretty surprised to see Miz cash in on Raw, but with Orton suffering from an apparent injury it seems like the right time to have a title change to give the viper killer time off.
Raw this past week was VERY solid, i enjoyed the show from top to bottom, throwing King in the main event was a nice twist.
I'm interested to see where Michael Cole/Jerry Lawler feud goes.
So is Jeff Jarrett an MMA junkie now?! WTF i turn on TNA and Jarrett is doing MMA,TNA trying to turn Abyss into The Undertaker doing "Coffin matches", Is Dixie another "Authority figure" now? How many do they need....I'm lost.....
MVP was released on Friday before his last match aired...Kind of bitter sweet to see him have a match after they released him....Damn tapings lol.
Honestly though MVP was the right guy to release, and I'm glad WWE did, but for the love of god I don't want him in TNA their roster is already way to big.
WWE is set to have ANOTHER 3 hour Raw here in two weeks....Just like the 2 Pay Per Views per month the 3 hour Raw's are starting to become an overkill! Thankfully the last two three hour Raw's WWE has done have been very good, hopefully they keep it up with the Slammy Awards.
Been reading some good reviews about the WWE Championship book written by our good friend @SullivanBooks, Hoping to get mine for Christmas . If you wanna get the book click here.
Be sure to check back tomorrow for our Final Resolution picks, Jeff Hardy V.S. Matt Morgan AGAIN!! HELL YEA..............Ok I'm kidding....
