The Hell in a Cell Pay Per View

Last night’s pay per view answered many lingering questions and created new questions. The answer to who will be facing Brock for the heavyweight championship has been answered. John Cena beat Randy to become the number one contender. While most people predicted that outcome it was also predictable that AJ would retain her title as well. This is discouraging to me I feel one should watch a match and have no clue who might win yet when these two have matches you already know they will win. The new questions looking to be answered are ones that surround the hottest match of the night the Dean vs. Seth match. Seth won the match but it was from the surprise interference from Bray Wyatt. The question now is why did Bray target Dean?

My tip on picking colors for your blog is research for class CM313

I love bright color yet I know other may not share my love them. That is why picking colors for your blog is important. Color can affect a person’s mood and for a blog you want to set the right kind of mood that compliments your message. You want to like the color because you are the one spending the most time looking at the blog. However it is important to remember the potential reader/ viewer most also find it pleasing to them. In some cases your favorite color could be off putting to the mass public in these cases a common ground should be found. Maybe bright orange isn’t for everyone but a different shade of orange could be better suited. Then there is the objective finding the right color to set the right mood along with liking the color that sets the right mood. For example your topic might be about astrology and orange has a excitability effect on a person’s mood which is good but does not fit the overall message again compromise maybe use your orange in small parts so it isn’t as overwhelming but you still have that color choice you love the most that sets an exciting mood but in small doses. See how color affects a person’s mood at this site. http://www.infoplease.com/spot/colors1.html

A tip for adding your personal touch to a blog for class CM313

Step away from the cookie-cutter mold and let your personality show. Nothing screams boredom like a blank one color monotone page with no photos. People want to have a connection with the writer a feel for who they are just by that first glance of seeing the blog. Personal touches can range from photos to bios, unique font styles or special graphics. For example if your blog is on astronomy instead of a blue blog with white or black writing add a personal touch. Possibly go with your favorite constellation in a boarder, tile affect throughout the blog, or a photo in the corner. Use these touches to enhance the readers experience and grab their attention. There are many ways to add a piece of you so let your personality show.

Podcast Script

Ok, lets talk about what is going on in WWE. A hot topic right now is the story line between Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and now John Cena. Many people out there right now are wondering if adding Cena to the feud between Dean and Seth has helped or hindered this story. My thoughts on this topic are that in the long run, it is going to help. Currently, it seems like a mess that was created just to give Cena something to do which given the lack of potential possible competitors, it might have been. So how does this help long term? One may think well there are many ways it could possibly help particularly by giving extra life to the Seth-Dean feud. You have Cena face Dean in this upcoming pay per view but the “who” wins isn’t really the important part. Yes, to the fans it is but not when it comes to this storyline because this feud can be played out a number of ways from here. Having Cena win will only fuel Dean’s drive to punish Cena for interfering in his revenge against Seth. Having Dean win will only drive Cena to continue to interfere in Dean’s quest because he still feels he deserves the match against Seth for the loss he suffered do to Seth. This can stretch out the storyline and build more anticipation for the much desired Seth vs. Dean match that we will eventually see. Yet most fans would say why drag it out, let Dean get his hands on Seth now, not later without Cena having to be involved. Well if we all take a look back at Daniel Bryan’s journey to become the champion, that story line was stretched out and stretch out all for that epic build up when he finally took home the championship belt and it was worth the wait. Fans had waited so long that when it happened, the building erupted in overwhelming excitement. We could be looking at another one of those build ups with the Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins feud. I for one will be glued to the show to see how this all plays out.

Could Stone Cold Steve Austin Return To WWE?

All of those that were taken in by the attitude era of WWE know that Stone Cold Steve Austin was the attitude in the attitude era. He was the anti-authority, beer drinking, tough as nails, Texas Rattlesnake hero fans loved to cheer for. Even today there is that hope he’ll walk down the ramp and give some guy a stunner. Well that could actually happen as rumors have made their way around the wrestling world of a possible in ring return.  John Cena has made it clear he would love to see Austin back in the ring again.  The Texas Rattlesnake has made some comments of his own about wanting to face Cena. The rumors could have some legitimacy to them but at this point there is no telling for sure what will happen. Us fans will just have to wait and see.
