This Week in WWE: Sheamus Shines & Kane Recovers To Wrestle After 26 Chair Shots

27 May 2012 4:21 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Sheamus continues to shine as a worker, Tyson Kidd and Antonio Cesaro steal the show on Superstars and Kane is still able to wrestle after receiving twenty six chair shots prior to a match-up. Here is a look at the best and some of the worse stuff from the past week in the WWE.

 

Wrestler of the week:  Sheamus

The Irishman coming to the aid of John Cena at the start of Raw brought some much needed energy to a dire segment involving John Laurinaitis, Eve and the Big Show and helped to wash away the taste of yet another horrendous verbal performance from Cena. Later in the night, when partnering with the poster boy, the world heavyweight champion had some great powerhouse exchanges with Tensai, some brilliantly heroic brawling on the outside with the lumberjacks and solid back and forths with both Ziggler and Swagger who he also had »

Why WWE Should Bring Back European Title

22 May 2012 11:19 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

as only 2 of the 28 champions were actually European. The late British Bulldog was the inaugural champion, while William Regal won the belt a record four times. In fairness to the WWE, there wasn’t a great deal of continental talent on the roster.

Nonetheless, if the WWE was trying to give European fans a greater sense of importance, then they failed in that too. A belt that was born in Berlin died in Michigan – while only three of the 36 title changes having happened on European soil.

However if its purpose was to help superstars launch their careers, then this was something it achieved. »

British bulldog Jason Statham always manages to beguile you on screen with his seemingly boundless choreographed energy and corny one-line growls that have become his reliable trademarks. Without such qualities of seasoned action veterans like Schwarzenegger and Stallone in their heyday, the Statham flick would be dead in the water, like an action flick of a bygone era.

Paradoxically, there is also a very fresh and contemporary feel to a Statham film too, in its video-gaming context that combines style and a breakneck editing pace that often defies reality. Writer-director Boaz Yakin’s Safe is in this category, as The Transformer energy is unleashed on the Big Apple, it keeps you gunning for Statham from beginning to end, however farcical and far-fetched the bits are in between, and comical his ‘American’ accent gets.

Statham is Luke Wright a former cop with a dubious past and ex-cage fighter who upsets the »
