Well, if you're just joining us, the coach of the Crusaders of Scott Robertson is in as the new All Black coach as Pops told me this morning, taking over from Ian Foster of who the 2023 Rugby World Cup will be his last before Robertson takes over, starting from next year in 2024 (And Robertson has successfully nominated his former Canterbury, Crusaders & All Blacks teammate Leon McDonald (The current Blues coach) as his assistant but they're not sure that they going to bring Hurricanes coach Jason Holland to the fray as one of his assistants, & they had since been confirmed for the matter).
And there was once a wrestling related story about John Cena as well as one of the all time wrestling greats & future hall of famer known as 'The Cenation Leader' & 'Mr Hustle, Loyalty, Respect' who made his WWE debut 21 years ago which was during the Ruthless Aggression era (Which took over from the Attitude era which lasted for 5 years from 1997 until 2002) which lasted from 2002 until 2008 before the start of the PG era which began from 2008 until 2014 then the Reality Era which lasted from 2014 until 2016 followed by the new era had taken over since 2016, & has been there since, but Cena is now a movie star because he may be getting too old to wrestle as he follows the footsteps of Dwayne Johnson (And Johnson (Who is the highest paid action movie star when he took over from Arnie in 2012-13) is the modern day iteration of Arnold Schwarzenegger (Who started life as a body builder before becoming a film star by appearing in such movies as the Terminator, Total Recall, Kindergarten Cop & The 6th Day, & then all of a sudden, the man known as Arnie became governor of California in which he served the role from 2003 until 2011 while he was a bona fide supporter of the Republican Party & is now a WWE hall of famer back in 2015 as part of a celeb inductee along with the likes of Baseball legend Pete Rose, famous American boxer 'Iron' Mike Tyson & former US president Donald Trump) according to the blog that I did last year) by becoming a famous actor) & his tough opponents that he fought throughout his WWE career such as Rob Van Dam (He fought against against RVD in a WWE Championship title match at ECW One Night Stand in 2006), Kurt Angle (His 1st genuine opponent in the WWE during a show on Smackdown in 2002), the Undertaker (He famously fought him twice at a per per view event of Vengeance in 2003 (In which the Undertaker was once known as Big Evil) then the most famous one at Wrestlemania 34 in 2018 (The year that the Undertaker was known as 'the Deadman', 'the Phenom', & 'the demon of Death Valley'), Triple H (It was in 2008 where he faced 'the Game' as well as 'the Cerebral Assassin' & 'the King of Kings' in a title match at Night of Champions pay per view event), AJ Styles (In which Cena took on 'the Phenomenal' at Summerslam in 2016), Edge (The guy known as 'the Rated R Superstar' who famously fought Cena in 2006 when he successfully both challenged when he cashed in his Money in the Bank & defended for the title at New Year's Revolution & Summerslam respectively), Roman Reigns (Cena once fought the dude (Who is currently the Undisputed WWE Universal champion (Which is the one WWE wrestling title to rule them all along with the WWE World Heavyweight championship (Currently held by Rollins) in fact his villainous tag team stable that he's part of which is called the Bloodline (Consisting of the ring leader Reigns, the Uso twin brothers of Jey & Jimmy, & their manager Paul Heyman (Considered as by far as the best manager in WWE history) has once ruled the WWE with Reigns coming out on top as the undisputed WWE Universal champion while the Usos were the WWE Tag Team champions (This is like during the halcyon days of Stone Cold Steve Austin in which Austin 3:16 set the WWF/E alight during the mid 1990s to mid 2000s/noughties period as well as the Four Horsewomen (Consisting of Bayley (Who is part of the villainous female tag team stable of Damage Ctrl along with our own New Zealander Dakota Kai & female Japanese wrestler Iyo Sky (Formerly Io Shirai), Becky Lynch (The Irishwoman who is married to Seth Rollins (Who is the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion as of today when he beat AJ Styles in the tournament final at Night of Champions) while the couple have a baby daughter named Roux), Charlotte Flair (Best known as the daughter of famous wrestler Ric who once once known as Charlotte before adding her surname in honor of her famous father) & Sasha Banks (Formerly from the WWE as of also today but she appears in the Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian) that set women's wrestling alight in the mid to late 2010s period) as of today) known as 'the Big Dog' as well as 'the Head of the Table' & 'the Tribal Chief' in a WWE Universal Championship title match at Summerslam in 2021 in which Cena (Who has never beaten Reigns (The man who dominated the WWE since 2020 (There is only one thing above them all since the 2020s decade in WWE which is the utter dominance of Roman Reigns & the Bloodline which ruled the world of professional wrestling (This is like the Schumi dominance period in F1 which lasted from 2000 until 2004 when the highly controversial figure of the sport of Michael Schumacher who ruled the Formula 1 world by winning 5 consecutive world championships with Ferrari (He joined that fledging team in 1996 until his 1st retirement in 2006) to his name to add both of his titles that he won in 1994 & 1995 with Benetton (The constructor that he raced from 1991 until he left after the 1995 season) & also the LH dominance period in Formula 1 which lasted from 2014 to 2015 & 2017 until 2020 when Lewis Hamilton (One of F1's biggest personalities during the modern era) also ruled the F1 world by winning 6 world championships with Mercedes (He had since been with that constructor where he joined forces with in 2013) to add to his title that he won in 2008 with McLaren (He made his debut with that team in 2007 until he left following the 2012 season) & is one of the most overwhemingly dominant, most competitive as well as being the toughest male WWE superstar you'll ever face in a wrestling ring (And he is one of the danger men in the WWE roster as well as being the most dangerous & feared competitors in wrestling history, but there are no signs of slowing him down during his longevity of his undisputed WWE Universal Championship reign when other competitors are trying to catch up like 'The American Nightmare' of Cody Rhodes (The superstar who dominated this years men's Royal Rumble in January, then he failed to beat Reigns at Wrestlemania 39 in a title match at SoFi Stadium (Hosts of last years Superbowl) in Los Angeles, California in America) for example) one on one thoughout his WWE career) was defeated & was one of the greatest matches ever at Summerslam), the Rock (Cena's 1st meeting against him was at Wrestlemania XXVIII when the clash between Attitude & Ruthless Aggression collided in which the man affectually known as 'the People's Champion' as well as 'the Brahma Bull' & 'the Great One' who famously won that match dubbed as once in a lifetime), Brock Lesnar (In which the man once known as 'the Next Big Thing' then now known as 'the Beast Incarnate' who Cena famously fought him twice at Backlash in 2003 in a title match & at Summerslam in 2014, also in a title match), Batista (The guy always known as 'the Animal' in which Cena 1st fought him at Summerslam in 2008) & Randy Orton (In which Cena took on the dude who is known as 'the Viper' & 'The WWE's Apex Predator' in a structured Hell in a Cell as well as a title match at HIAC in 2009) according to the WWE 2K23 game that I've got (And I got both versions such as both the PS4 (I prefer that one) & PS5) & there's Nikki Bella (Twin sister of Brie who is the wife of Bryan Danielson (Who is in AEW (Which features world class wrestlers such as Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley (Who was once known as Dean Ambrose & is AEW's answer to current WWE United States champion Austin Theory), Adam Page, MJF (Maxwell Jacob Friedman who is the current AEW Wrestling Champion & is AEW's equivalent of Roman Reigns), Claudio Castagnoli (Formerly Cesaro), 'The Icon' Sting, Darby Allin (Who was once married to current WWE women's superstar Gigi Dolin), Samoa Joe, the Hardy brothers of Jeff & Matt, Christian Cage, Miro (Formerly known as Rusev), Saraya (Who was also once known as Paige), Britt Baker, Toni Storm & Ruby Soho (Who was formerly during the WWE days as Ruby Riott) now, & was formerly during the days in the WWE as Daniel Bryan) who is still in the WWE as of today.
And also that the famous Hollywood actor who appears in famous films such as the Die Hard series, Pulp Fiction, Twelve Monkeys, the Fifth Element (I got one of the films on Blu-ray that Dad gave it to me for Christmas last year), The Jackal, The Siege, The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Tears of the Sun & GI Joe: Retaliation of Bruce Willis who called it quits last year as a result of him being diagnosed with dementia which affected his health.
And the latest on the Super Rugby Pacific competition as the results of the 4th round of the competition are in:
Hurricanes 34 - 17 Waratahs (It was the Hurricanes night as they bounced back from defeat against the Blues to down the Waratahs at Sky Stadium in Wellington)
Chiefs 44 - 25 Rebels (And it was the Chiefs day as they decimated the Rebels at FMG Stadium Waikato in Hamilton to remain flawless in 2023)
Blues 28 - 34 Crusaders (And it was the reigning champs the Crusaders (Who had winger Leicester Fainga'anuku crossing over for his hat-trick of tries during the game but they lost both players for their all-important clash against the Brumbies such as winger Sevu Reece (Who was easily one of the best wingers in the whole wide world) & veteran lock forward Sam Whitelock) night as they dispatched the Blues (Who had the chance to take the lead twice but both of these tries had been overturned by the TMO) in a rematch of last years Super Rugby Pacific final at Eden Park in Auckland)
Brumbies 62 - 36 Moana Pasifika (It was the Brumbies night as they were too good against a Moana Pasifika side at Canberra Stadium in Canberra to maintain their 100% winning record this year)
Highlanders 43 - 35 Force (It was the Highlanders day as they mow down the Force at Rugby Park in Invercargill)
& Reds 27 - 24 Fijian Drua (And it was the Reds day as they win in a close encounter against the Fijian Drua (Who made history by causing the biggest boil over in the competition against the Crusaders in front of their home crowd in Lautoka) at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane)
And finally, onto the Six Nations news as the results of the 5th & final round are also in:
Scotland 26 - 14 Italy (It was Scotland's day as they pounced Italy (Who ended their campaign with another wooden spoon) at Murrayfield in Edinburgh)
France 41 - 28 Wales (And it was France's day as they smashed Wales to bits at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis)
& Ireland 29 - 16 England (It was Ireland's time & moment as they pipped England at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, to remain undefeated in 2023 as well as they won their 1st Six Nations Grand Slam crown for the 1st time since 2018, & go into the 2023 Rugby World Cup as the heavy favourites (And how good are they? Because they're now on a 10 match winning streak after their successful Six Nations triumph that they had this year, not only because they had some good players in it like Josh van der Flier, but I wonder the headlines would say?: IRELAND ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF THE SIX NATIONS IN 2023, but what a disappointing end for England, what a match for our viewers right around the world)
So that is my 492nd blog of the year 2023 (MMXXIII) & my 16th of this year, viva Ukraine.
P.S. Just saw Stan Walker 6 days ago at Mud Ducks where Pops, Carole & I went where I had a big breakfast & a large mocchachino there but I was trying not to recognize him at all during our time here (And I saw Jen (Who met Dad for the 1st time on the 21st this month when Pops took her to show one of Dad's carvings (And I heard that Dad now has a PS5 just like me to go with the Xbox Series X, PS4 & Xbox One consoles that I own but Dad has got Gran Turismo 7 just like me that he plays now) when she stayed here from Thursday until last week but she's now raising a 8 year old girl back home in Welly) compared to when I saw former All Black & current police constable Glen Osborne 3 times, but the last famous person I've met was Jona Nareki back in 2020.
