He was on his way to be NFL's next star and he turned out to be the Ultimate What If

I'm OG and today I'm going to talk about a player that in my opinion could've been one of the best defensive players of all time if there wasn't for his unfortunate passing, I'm going to talk about the late great Sean Taylor.

Sean Taylor was one of the most gifted athletes of his time and one of the most talented Safeties in the NFL and was an amazing human, sadly that all stopped one day on November 27th as he was robbed and killed. Too early at the prime of his career and only at the age of 24. And many people including me think that Sean could've been the greatest safety of all time, and that he's a big miss because he could've been one of the all time greats, I always have wondered "What If?" What could have happen? what could be?

. So let's talk more about Miami University's own, The Late Sean Taylor!

He started his career in 2000 in Miami University, he played there until 2004, and in those four years he went on to a great start there as he won some incredible honors at those four years. Here are the awards he won:

BCS national champion (2001)

Big East Defensive Player of the Year (2003)

Unanimous All-American (2003)

First-team All-Big East (2003)

Second-team All-Big East (2002)
 

The four years he played in the university of Miami got him to be picked in the 5th pick of the 2004 NFL Draft, he was selected by the Washington Redskins.

In his rookie season, Sean showed sights of the future as he started to establish himself as a legitimate starter for the Safety position, after great impression in his first games, he got the chance to be a starter. And it paid off, he finished his rookie season with very good numbers on the stat sheet, in 15 games, he had 76 tackles, 1.0 sack, forced 2 fumbles, and 4 interceptions.  That was just a little teaser for what's in store for the future from what it looks like, as NFL experts believed that he's going to be the league's future and fans fill with hype around Sean Taylor. 

In the following season, Taylor switched his jersey number from 36 to 21, and that number became the thing he was more recognized with. He continued to play in a great work rate, continuing to put on impressive stats throughout the year, as he finished the 2005 season with 70 tackles, 1 sack, 2 forced fumbles and a fumble recovery and two interceptions. That season was another teaser for what's going to happen in the following year, the year Sean made his official breakout and solidified himself as an elite material player.

In the 2006 season, Sean enjoyed his best season in his career, statistic wise he had some amazing numbers as in 16 games he managed to get to overall 111 tackles, 3 forced fumbles. Even though he played in a struggling Redskins defensive unit, Sean's impact wasn't denied and he got recognition, he was named an NFC Pro Bowl for the 2007 Pro Bowl as he replaced the injured Philadelphia Eagles Safety Brian Dawkins. In the Pro Bowl, Sean made one of the most memorable plays of his career as he hit the Buffalo Bills punter Brian Moorman with a vicious hit, the hit created a lot of buzz and discussions.

Then came the 2008 season, in this season many people expected to see Taylor continue to take the league by a storm, but it didn't happen due to the fact that Taylor was injured. But in the 9 games Sean played this season he played in a high level, he compiled 42 tackles and 9 defended passes and forced a fumble. Than few days before week 13, the worst happened.

On November 26th at 1:45 AM, Sean Taylor was shot in the upper leg by an intruder. After the shot, Sean had an extensive blood loss through a severed femoral artery, he died a day later. Sean Taylor has passed away only at the age of 24. 

Sean Taylor's legacy is big and very impactful on the NFL, lots of players paying homages to him and continue to recognize his legacy, Sean continues to be remembered time and time by the fans in the football world, his impact on the NFL is very deep and undeniable. There are lots of question of what could happen if Sean would've been alive.  one of the biggest is What if Sean didn't die. 

I truly believe that Sean was on his way to be NFL's greatest safety ever or one of them, the fact that his career cut so short and that he achieved so much less with all his talent is just very unfortunate, Sean was a gifted athlete with all the tools to be one of the NFL's greatest defenders. In just age of 24 to achieve what he achieved is just incredible. If Sean was still alive and was playing for at least 10 more years, I think he would've been an all-time great for sure. At least in the conversation.

The reason why I chose to write about Sean Taylor today is few days ago I found an article in Hebrew that I did about Sean, and I wanted to "recreate" it in another language. And because Sean Taylor is one of my biggest inspirations in the world of football. 

So that's a wrap folks, it was a great honor to write about the late Sean Taylor. Thank you for reading.

Major League Wrestling Superfight review

Hey everybody, I'm OG, and today I'm going to talk about Major League Wrestling (MLW)'s latest event, Superfight.

I started to see MLW thanks to Ego Total, it's a great mixed fighting channel here in Israel, they broadcast MLW on a weekly basis, and I saw their events ever since they started broadcast the promotion, Ego Total is a great channel here in Israel, they broadcasting Bellator and more companies from the world of wrestling and mixed martial arts, they broadcasting their content in a high quality and an enjoyable one. I would like to thank a friend of mine, Vice President of Ego Total Adi Kfir for telling me a lot about the company and for recommending about it.

Now Here's a quote by EGO Total's vice president Adi Kfir about MLW:

"As a vice president of Ego Total, I can tell that we are delighted to broadcast MLW here in Israel, as a channel that gives a center stage to mixed martial arts and professional wrestling it's an absolute privilege for us. We are happy to broadcast this incredible new blood to our channel as we go towards a new vision here in our channel, we are also proud of the fact that Israel is the first country to broadcast MLW around the world and outside of the United States. We can tell that'll be a great collaboration and that it's going to be great and promising."

Ego total is a home of mixed martial arts and professional wrestling since the mid 2000's, I explored the channel when I was at 1^st grade, in 2006. They broadcasted TNA at that time, and it was full of great quality broadcasting just like the way they known for. Ego total explored me a lot to wrestling outside of the WWE, I was mostly a WWE fan and still am, but Ego Total found me more "alternatives" and more great contents of wrestling throughout the years. As they broadcast some great promotions, currently they broadcasting MLW,Bellator and more. So, I just wanted to give the channel a great shout out and to thank them for letting me explore more wrestling.

So now let's start with the review!

Overall the MLW Superfight event was great, I really enjoyed watching the event. I can't remember myself enjoy wrestling like I enjoyed this 1-hour event yesterday when I saw the event. It included three matches but it was full of great quality.

1^st match: New Hart Foundation (Teddy Hart & Davey Boy Smith Jr.) Vs. Lucha Brothers (Fenix & Pentagon JR), MLW Tag Team Championship.

That was a great opening contest by this two tags. A good match. Fast paced, started with incredible kicks by Lucha brothers, continued with magnificent double team maneuvers, there were also few incredible pilledrivers and Throughout the match there were some great spots that made the match special, such as Pentagon's marvelous Canadian Destroyer on the apron, in the end, the match ended with a CRAZY double team, a doomsday Canadian Destroyer to finish off the match. A fantastic way to kick off the show!

Overall rating: 80 out of 100, 4 stars!

Next match. Kotto Brazil Vs. Ricky Martinez (With Salina de la Renta)

Okay that match had a good background story, that gave something to look up for.

The story is that few weeks ago, Kotto got blindsided after an attack by Ricky, and that's a reason why he's wearing an eyepatch in the match. Kotto looks for redemption and to avenge what Martinez has done for him. So the match was very cool, it wasn't a flashy one but it was good. It was mostly an equal match, that ended after Salina de la Renta sprayed Kotto with a paper gas that blinded Kotto, then Ricky pinned for the win.

Overall rating: 65 out of 100 / 3.25 stars.

Main Event: Tom Lawler Vs. Low Ki, MLW World Championship

The match was short, but it was good. There wasn't such a big story but there was a great upset as Ki lost his MLW belt after he tapped out. I don't know why the match was that short but in my opinion that could last for longer time. But, congrats to Lawler on his win.

Overall rating: 55 out of 100, 2.75 stars.

So that concludes my review for MLW's PPV Superfight. Overall I liked the match card and The matches were good, in my opinion they need more time for their events in the future because they have such a great content, that can lead them to a show stealing matches and to a sky rocketing success. But I'm satisfied with their epic content.

Thank you all for reading, hope you enjoyed!

Matches I would book for WrestleMania 35

Hello everyone, I'm OG and today I'm going to talk with you about the upcoming WrestleMania that's going to happen on April 7^th at MetLife stadium.

So, as you know, we are on the road to WrestleMania 35 and we have a lot of speculations and plans for what's about to happen. Well I had some great ideas on my mind and I think It's the right time to share them with you guys.

So, of course I don't have the whole card but I got some main matches that I thought about, so let's go!

(Before I Start, the article is written day after the Rumble, so yes I know Rollins-Brock is a lock for Mania, the rest is written day after the Pay Per View.)

1^st match comes to my mind is: Rey Mysterio Vs. Andrade Cien Almas, Lucha Rules match.

The best thing going on currently on the main roster is that Rey Mysterio and Andrade are having some great matches between one another, they have a healthy chemistry between them and it seems that they going to continue this ongoing rivalry for more, and I think it's the best idea that WWE can go with. It's seems very legit also, as Andrade hinting on social media that he's going to be the next successful Latin wrestler in WWE, and it goes in the right direction so far. WWE finally building Almas as their next star and what he needs now is a big victory on a big stage and not only on weekly show, also Rey is the right person to get Almas over, it's also can be the most fitting way to pass the torch between Mysterio and Almas. I honestly believe that if WWE does that big step and give Almas the upper hand on Mysterio on WrestleMania 35, that it can be the best thing for Andrade's career and for Mysterio's career as he passes the torch on the right time and to the right person. Most of all, it's the right thing to do for the business.

So, Almas-Mysterio on WrestleMania 35 in a Lucha Libre style match and with Rey putting over Almas in my opinion it's what has to happen and what WWE should do.

And On the way to Wrestlemania, for now I think they should be "separated" or get an equal number of wins between one another so the 'Mania match would be the final encounter.

2^nd Match that comes to my mind is: Seth Rollins Vs. Brock Lesnar, Universal Championship

Well it's the obvious choice, and it seems that WWE is heading towards this direction since Seth on the Rumble and day after that he got beat up by Brock, what I think that the WWE needs to do now is keep a little distance between Seth and Brock and make just a face off promos between them and a one brawl between them on the last RAW before Mania. It's like what they did with Roman last year but this time with a different outcome, this time I want to see a different direction, this time 1^st off the match at WrestleMania will not be a one sided like it was a year ago, this time it'll be different as they will get into a very equal match. Without a lob sided affairs, In the end of the match I expect to see an underdog finish as Seth Rollins overcomes Lesnar in a great match, because 1^st off Brock's reign as Universal champ bores me to death I have to be honest and 2^nd of all Seth needs the belt, he needs to be the champion. It's just seems right to finally change the plans and give Rollins the belt.  Seth as Universal Champ in my opinion can resurrect the belt as it has a background of a belt that got "demoted" and lost its prestige since making 1^st arrival, when Seth will be the champ, it'll be the best thing for the business as he will take the championship belt to a new level, a new and improved level that'll be better for the ratings too.

3^rd match comes to my mind, Mustafa Ali Vs. AJ Styles

This is a new idea I thought about recently, to create a 1-month storyline between Styles and Ali, as you know Ali and Styles recently began a bond Since Ali got called up from 205Live to Smackdown, as they teamed up a month ago. So what I figured out is this idea, AJ's frustration of losing to Daniel Bryan grows and grows as the time goes by and it leads to AJ snapping in the upcoming Pay Per View Elimination Chamber as Bryan eliminates him to win, and then the frustration leads to a heel turn in about days later as he and Mustafa team up in a tag team bout and end up losing and AJ gets pinned, so after the loss AJ would eventually turn on Ali and lash out on him and will start to become a heel, and towards the build up to Mania, Ali is trying to 1^st off figure out why AJ did the turn, AJ then would remain silent and just strike Ali for weeks but Ali wouldn't strike back because he has respect and admiration for Styles, but then 2 weeks before WrestleMania, Ali has enough of AJ's games and he challenges AJ into a match at WrestleMania, AJ would accept and then he will began explaining why he attacked Ali recently, he would say that he's sick and tired of Mustafa taking his spotlight and that he's tired of those "newcomers" coming to take his spot but they won't take his spot because he built that house! Then he says that he might paved a lot of ways but there's nobody that's going to get the amount of success that he's got throughout his career and then he attempts an attack on Mustafa and this time Ali finally strikes back and eventually hits AJ with the 054 splash! And it gets a large pop. And then 2 weeks later, WrestleMania 35, AJ Styles Vs. Mustafa Ali.

I honestly don't know who would I pick to win, but what can I assure you is that'll be a show stealer and both sides will steal the show.

4^th Match comes to my mind is: Finn Balor Vs. Pete Dunne, United Kingdom Championship!

Pete's historic championship reign as you know reached above 600 days lately, but in this amazing reign for some reason we didn't saw Pete defend the belt in a main show (a WWE PPV) and we only seen him defend the belt on NXT/NXT UK. So I thought that's a fitting way to continue/end the reign is by putting Dunne in a title defense match on the grandest stage of them all as he would defend the belt against fellow British Finn Balor, currently WWE isn't doing much with Balor, so it's a great opportunity to put Finn in a situation where he'll get into something that's new, Putting him in a UK title match would be special because it never happened in his career and it'll give him a chance to do something fresh, something that's also very unthinkable. And that's to Challenge Pete Dunne. Pete really needs that for the prestige of the belt and for the importance of his title reign, he needs that big feel of fighting on a grand stage. And he needs that right person to battle him, that right person is none other than Finn Balor.  The storyline would be built as day after Elimination Chamber, Finn will open Monday Night Raw by claiming that he needs something new and he's sick and tired of same matches week by week and he needs some fresh change now that he's on the way to WrestleMania, it'll be a very good test for Pete. And I'm sure it'll pay off.

5^th match that comes to my mind is: The Miz Versus Daniel Bryan, WWE Championship

That match is close to 9 years in the making, those two had some good matches throughout the years, they have one of the most anticipated feuds in the last few years, and this time it'll be with a special flavor as the tides are turned! Daniel is now the ultimate heel, (which's different then usually when Miz was the ultimate bad guy) and Miz is now on the verge of being a great babyface, currently Miz is a tag champion along with Shane McMahon but I believe that it's the right time to put some world titles on Miz's resume, and this time with a better healthy reign. He's the right person to take the belt from Bryan. And it'll be good because Bryan's reign so far is very tremendous so giving him to lose to the right person is just great. It'll be the right booking way for both superstars, and it can lead to a continuation for their great feud,and this is how I think WWE should book it if they want it to happen:   Elimination Chamber, Miz&Shane loses the tag belts to the Usos, Bryan retains the belt.  Then there will be a friendly breakup of the tag of The Miz and Shane as Shane says that he's no longer wrestling and he's preferring to be part of the authority. So.. Miz is winning few weeks later a N1C Match to face Bryan at WretleMania and they continue their feud with segment and etc.  at Mania, Miz beats Bryan in a great match.

So that's a wrap folks, those are my ideas for how WWE should book WrestleMania's main matches! I hope you enjoyed!
