The biggest event of Wrestling year has come and gone by. I was really excited about Wrestlemania XXIV and had been looking forward to it. But at the end I had to admit that it was fairly predictable (except for the money-in-the-bank ladder match).

I was a bit dissapointed that we didn’t see championship matches for all the titles. For instance the United States Champion, the Intercontinental Champion and one half of  the ECW Tag Team Champions were all in the ‘money-in-the-bank’ ladder match. Why did they only put three championships in total on the line? What are champions for if they hardly ever get to defend their title?

Another match I didn’t like was the ‘no holds barred’ match between the Big Show and Floyd Mayweather. First of all the the Big Show has only just come back to the WWE and gets one of the main events in WrestleMania. I’d rather see a wrestler who has worked hard all year around get into a main event. And that match was so hyped up that it could never live up to the expectations. The match was so predictable and it was pretty obvious that every move was scripted. If the Big Show had been allowed to really put his hands on Mayweather he would have ended up in hospital. The match was boring and I was glad when it was over.

The ECW title match was very short and I almost got the idea that it was done on purpose to completely whipe the name of Chris Benoit out of the books. He was the one who held the record of quickest pinfall/submission and we all know that the WWE likes to pretend that he has never excisted.

The Bunny Mania match was not exactly of high quality and again disappointing that the title wasn’t on the line. Would have loved to see two good female wrestlers like Victoria & Beth Phoenix go at it.

You could smell the retirement of Ric Flair from miles away. I have never been a big fan of him, but it is a shame to see him go. He’s build a great legacy and I wish him all the best.

I have to say that I was a little bit surprised to see that Randy Orton was allowed to keep the WWE title. I was certain that it would go to either Triple H or to John Cena. But give it about 3 weeks and I am sure that by then Randy Orton will have to hand over the title a wrestler that sells more merchandise.

The match I was waiting for was the last one; Edge vs. The Undertaker. It was pretty certain that The Undertaker would not lose his match and continued his undefeated WrestleMania streak. The match showed here after midnight and I had trouble keeping my eyes open by then. When the dumb Edgeheads came out I thought “Here we go again!” but fortunately The Undertaker won and is World Heavy Weight Champion again.

All in all I was a little disappointed by the match ups. They should sack the creative team in my opinion. A bit more creativity and more story lines involving ALL the championships would have been so much better. But that is just my opinion. What did you think of WrestleMania? What was your favorite match?

Lately I have really been getting into the Biggest Loser Australia. It’s very motivational to see all these contestants lose so much weight. It’s kind of funny how they can get frustrated if they ‘only’ lose 3 kilo’s per week while I have been struggling to lose my 6 kilo’s since Christmas. I am proud to say that I have lost the 6 kilo’s that I wanted to lose in my New Years resolutions. I would have jumped for joy if I would have lost 3 kilo’s per week.

Anyway, my hubby asked me the other day who my favorite contestant was, but I really can not decide on who that is. The thing is that I hope they all could win, because they are all winners in my eyes. Imagine having to exercise about 5 hours a day on a 1200 calorie diet. You got to admire that. I don’t know if I would be willing to go through that.

Do you watch the biggest loser and who is your favorite?

One of my favorite programs on TV is Property Ladder. It is great to see how some people manage to transform a dump into a beautiful home and sell it with a nice profit. It is not only fun to see, but by watching the program you can learn a thing or two about property development as well.

One thing I’m always surprised about is how unrealistic some budgets are. They budget everything for the absolute minimum and leave no room for contingencies. Or some people have a realistic budget, but they let their personal taste get in the way.

Instead of focusing on making the maximum profit with as less money as they can, the splurge on things like bathroom vanities, expensive kitchens, extravagant decoration and that sort of stuff because they like it. But they don’t have to live in it, so they should try to keep it as neutral as possible.

Sometimes I wish I could develop a property. Wouldn’t that be cool for a job?

The Superbike and Supersport races at Philip Island this weekend were awesome. I was hoping (and kind of expecting) an Aussie domination and it was an Aussie domination indeed. My favorite Superbike rider Troy Bayliss - who was riding with 8 stitches in his elbow - won the first and the second Superbike race and is leading the championship now. Troy Corser was second in race one.

The Supersport race was dominated by the Aussies as well. Andrew Pitt on the Dutch Ten Kate Honda bike won the race in front of Aussie Joshua Brooks. Unfortunately Dutch rider Barry Veneman got a drive-through penalty for a jump start. All in all it were exciting races to watch and I am just plain happy that Sunday are interesting again.

The bad thing this weekend was that we missed UFC82. When we rang Foxtel to order the pay-per-view we got told that we could not order it. In fact we got told to order it three days in advance. What bullsh*t is that? We’ve never ordered it three days in advance, always on the day itself and never had a problem with it. I was so disappointed!

I haven’t blogged for a couple of days, but I am back. Anyone watching American Idols? I had vowed to not watch it, but I couldn’t help myself. Somehow I am such a sucker for programs like that. I especially loved the auditions. It is amazing how many people show up and seriously think that they can sing. They need some tough love from their friends and family in my opinion.

I don’t have any favorites yet, although I like the dreadlock guy (sorry can’t think of the name). Great hair, great voice and great song choice! Who’s your favorite singer?
