Well, here it is—Monday, April 8, 2013, the day after WrestleMania XXIX. I want to first of all thank Mr. & Mrs. Hudspeth for their hospitality and their invitation. I can speak for Theo as well when I say: I was thoroughly enjoyed and entertained, both by the Hudspeths and by WrestleMania.
To tell y’all the truth, I haven’t followed much of wrestling since I’ve been at Rust. I’ll catch it here and there, but I didn’t really catch up until around Royal Rumble time, when my hero (and future husband) The Rock won the WWE Championship from CM Punk. Since then and up to now, I’ve been following the story involving Rock and Cena.
Last night’s match was all about redemption for John Cena, seeing as how he lost to Rock last year. Well, in case y’all missed it—or haven’t been told—John Cena defeated Rock, ultimately becoming the WWE Champion. However, something happened that I didn’t expect: Rock passed the torch to Cena!

The Hudspeth household got silent when Rock and Cena exchanged appreciation and respect for one another. And then Cena left the ringside so Rock could soak in the adulation from “the millions… and millions” of fans both at MetLife Stadium and watching on television. As Rock thanked each and every one of us, he headed up the ramp, where Cena saluted him. Rock reciprocated the salute, then raised Cena’s hand and said symbolically: “This is the new face of WWE!”
When Ruby, Theo, and I got back to the dorm, we talked about the historic passing of that torch. As a wrestling fan of only thirteen years, I’ve heard about the torch being passed, but yesterday evening was the very first time that I actually saw it. Ruby, Theo, and I came to one simple conclusion: That was so freakin’ awesome!
And I still get chills everytime I think about it!
Other WrestleMania news: Triple H planted Brock Lesnar with a wicked Pedigree on the steel ring steps, and Undertaker extended the streak to 21-0 over a very worthy competitor in CM Punk. By the way: It made me cry when I saw Taker kinda tear up—no doubt he was thinking about William “Paul Bearer” Moody. That was a sweet, poignant, feel-good moment for sure.
Well, I gotta get going. I may have another blog for y’all this evening, but just in case I don’t, I’ll holla at y’all tomorrow.
Hugs & Kisses,
Natasha
