Sunday Sundown Rundown - 6/2/13

3 Up

1. Yanira Maldonada - Good to see that clear heads and logic prevailed two countries who figured out that this poor woman was framed for drug smuggling.

2. College Baseball Regionals - I was sick this weekend, so I spend a lot of time on my couch watching these games. About eight actually. Can't get enough of it. Best postseason in college sports.

3. Gail Kim and Taryn Terrell - TNA Wrestling's second biggest show of the night, Slammiversary was tonight, and both tore the house down with an epic match. Kudos to both.

3 Down

1. More Tornadoes - The People of Oklahoma just can't catch a break right now.

2. Yankees Offense - If being swept by the Mets wasn't bad enough, the anemic offense is a cause for major concern. Bronx Bombers? Not even close right now.

3. Being sick on a weekend where it is super nice all weekend. Thank goodness for College Baseball.

WWE Wrestlemania XL Review: "I absolutely loved this Wrestlemania"

It's easy to get caught up and become a prisoner of the moment. Especially in today's world where the latest moment is ostracized, super-analyzed, and hyperbolized - it's very much the clickbait, social media, microwave society we live in.  Yet, even after acknowledging that (as well as my Tribal Chief, of course), I still come to this feeling that Wrestlemania XL is one of the best Wrestlemania's, ever.  Yes, ever!  I don't need Triple H's metrics and benchmarks to influence me. No, no, no! In terms of hype, storylines, payoffs, match quality, and just overall fun - this entire weekend was amazing.  I'm slightly skewed in my preference as well. This was my son's first Wrestlemania as a pro wrestling fan. Having him at my side cheering on his favorites, getting caught up in the drama, and even crying at the end of the night because his Tribal Chief lost to "that no good Cody" added to the overall appreciation of the event.  So yeah, I have some

NXT Stand and Deliver 2024 Review: 'For super casual NXT fans like me - no complaints here'

It's become officially a tradition that NXT Stand and Deliver makes Wrestlemania weekend feel like the ultimate wrestling weekend - as if it isn't already. There is just something about a major show being held midday on a Saturday, among the hype for the already dual night of Wrestlemania - that just emanates and screams - wrestling fans, don't go anywhere all weekend.   Nonetheless, NXT Stand and Deliver 2024 for this super causal NXT viewer was entertaining. I was well aware (and followed) the story of Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes (more on that in a bit) more so than the other happenings, but that didn't matter. The show offered many reasons to check out Shawn Michaels' project on Tuesday nights.  With that said, here are some quick thoughts on NXT Stand and Deliver 2024:  - Baron Corbin is amazing on the NXT brand. For many reasons, he just never clicked for me on the major brands - and that very likely might not even be his fault. I didn't think Axiom an
