TSS:No Holds Barred

Alex delivers a comprehensive recap of not only Wrestlemania 27, but also this past week in WWE TV. How was Wrestlemania, and how was it followed up on?

Alex looks at the somewhat curious booking decisions seen at the show, such as having Randy Orton defeat CM Punk cleanly and having Edge and Alberto Del Rio open the show in their World Heavyweight Championship bout. Plus, was the right move made in having Del Rio getting pinned by Edge and then having his car destroyed?

The Michael Cole "uber-heel character" is continuing. How much longer should this continue? Is this building towards a major confrontation at "Extreme Rules" (possibly involving JR)?

Triple H and Undertaker wrestled a fantastic match at Wrestlemania and told a terrific story. Triple H also cut a great promo on RAW this week, promising that when Undertaker returns, "he'll be waiting..."

The Rock and John Cena's match at Wrestlemania 28 is discussed too, with Alex asking three urgent questions that must be answered throughout the 1 year build to it.

The "piledrivin' post of the week" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) is handed out, and in the "Finisher" segment, Alex calls out Booker T for his horrid announcing.

Congratulations to mudball for winning the "Wrestlemania 27 prediction game!" A 10 dollar Starbucks gift card will be en-route to him shortly.

"The Alex Reimer Show" airs Saturday's from 3-5 PM EST on 1120 AM WBNW Boston, www.moneymattersradio.net, and www.livestream.com/wbnw1120.

Alex previews Wrestlemania 27 by giving us comprehensive picks, predictions, and thoughts.

First, Alex discusses the final week of Wrestlemania build. Is The Miz now once again clearly the antagonist with John Cena and The Rock? Has Alberto Del Rio gained enough heat against Edge? How good of a job did Shawn Michaels do in the final buildup to Triple H and Undertaker?

Then, Alex analyzes Wrestlemania. He talks about how much people want to see Michael Cole get his butt kicked by Jerry Lawler, whether Del Rio will win the Heavyweight Championship or if Cena will win the WWE Championship, how The Rock and Cena interact, if the Undertaker's streak will be broken by Triple H, and more. One thing is for certain, though...Alex feels the focus of Wrestlemania 27 should be on the active regular wrestlers, and not The Rock, Steve Austin, Triple H, Undertaker, etc.

This week was another week in the Wrestlemania build. The continued heat gained by Michael Cole, an awkward Randy Orton/CM Punk angle, The Miz/John Cena, and much more is discussed. Plus, does the decision to have Alberto Del Rio lose 2 consecutive weeks on Smackdown make sense?

Plus, TNA's attempt to rectify the abomination that was "Victory Road," and the WWE scolding media outlets for referring to them as a "wrestling company" is talked about too. The "piledrivin' post of the week" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) is handed out as well.

"The Alex Reimer Show" airs live at a special time this Saturday (3/26) from 1-3 PM EST live from the bioball charity basketball tournament on 1120 AM WBNW Boston, www.moneymattersradio.net, and www.livestream.com/wbnw1120.

Alex discusses another week of Wrestlemania build, in which a Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler segment once again highlighted RAW. The reason why the segment this week was the best on the show was because it accomplished exactly what it set out to accomplish...make Michael Cole even more dislikable than he was before it. Mission accomplished!

The Miz's newfound "edge," The Rock cutting another taped promo on John Cena, SNOOKI, and much more is talked about too. Plus, does more need to be done with Triple H vs. Undertaker?

On the Smackdown side of things, Alex looks at the continued interaction between Edge and Alberto Del Rio. Are they developing more of a grudge against each other? Also, is Sheamus back in the good graces of Kevin Dunn?

In the "Finisher" segment, the "piledrivin' post of the week" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) is handed out, as Alex rants about TNA making the decision to have Jeff Hardy wrestle a 1 minute championship match at "Victory Road" because he was deemed "incapable to wrestle." How disgusting.

"The Alex Reimer Show" airs Saturday's from 3-5 PM EST on 1120 AM WBNW Boston, www.moneymattersradio.net, and www.livestream.com/wbnw1120.

Stone Cold Steve Austin can steal a show like no one else can...huh? Alex talks about the terrific segment on RAW involving Austin, JBL, and Michael Cole. This match is certainly not a "midcard sideshow," and segments like that illustrate that point.

John Cena cut yet another lame promo on RAW this week. Is it really so hard to book him in a manner in which he's not an appalling figure to anybody over the age of 10?

Randy Orton vs. CM Punk, Triple H vs. Undertaker, and much more is discussed as well. Plus, just how needed was the "edge" that The Miz has seemingly developed over the past couple of weeks?

In the "Finisher" segment, Alex touches upon Trish's return to in-ring action next week, and how far women's wrestling within the WWE has fallen since Trish left a couple of short years ago.

Alex breaks down this week's RAW, and continues to say that The Rock's presence exposes John Cena's flaws like they've never been exposed before. Hasn't the time come to revamp the Cena character? But can it be done without ruining his appeal to the younger demographic? Questions, questions, questions...

Jack Swagger's unnecessary involvement with Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler, Randy Orton/CM Punk, and Triple H's promo from RAW this week are all discussed too. The "piledrivin' post of the week" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) is handed out as well.

On the Smackdown side of things, Alex dishes on the handling of Alberto Del Rio, Cody Rhodes' rise, and more. Plus, when will Vickie come back?!?!

In the "Finisher" segment, Alex says that though it's perfectly appropriate to put the focus on The Rock, Triple H, Undertaker, etc prior to Wrestlemania, the focus should be taken off of them once Wrestlemania begins. Who should the focus be put on then, you ask? Listen and find out!
