Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a great week this week. This was a historical week as WWE celebrated it's 1000th episode of Monday Night Raw, Ichiro Suzuki was traded to the Yankees, Jeff Otah traded to the Jets "in principle", and many more. Also, NFL teams have started training camp. More will be shared as you read along. Here we go!
WWE
This past Monday on Raw was the 1000th episode of Raw. Stars from the past and present showed up such as DX, Brock Lesnar, The Rock, Bret Hart, Lita, Trish Stratus, and many more. Out of all the alumni, only The Rock and Lesnar had more of an impact since Lesnar and Triple H will fight at SummerSlam, and The Rock inserted himself into the WWE Championship picture. Here are all of the highlights from Raw 1000.

To summarize all of this, DX reunites, Daniel Bryan get's stood up at the wedding, AJ becomes Raw GM, The Rock declares he will face the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble, Triple H vs Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, John Cena was unsuccessful in cashing in Money in The Bank, and finally CM Punk attacks The Rock at the end of the show, turning heel in the process. Here's a backstage fallout after Raw ended.

Here's an exclusive video from WWE.com featuring the two ladies who revolutionized the women's division at the turn of the 21st century in a backstage interview after Raw 1000.

MLB After a heartbreaking 4 game loss to the Oakland Athletics, the Yankees traveled to Seattle to face the Mariners in a 3 game set. However, before the start of the series, the Yankees acquired Ichiro Suzuki from the Mariners in exchange for 2 prospects.The Yankees won on Monday, lost on Tuesday, and won on Wednesday. The Mets on the other hand lost another 3 games to the Washington Nationals. Once the Mets traveled to Arizona, their losing streak came to an end. The Yankees will be home to face their division rival, Boston Red Sox this weekend, while the Mets will continue their series against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix. NFL The 2012 NFL season is about to start. And that means that all 32 teams reported to training camp to prepare for the season. The NY Jets are already in Cortland, while the NY Giants are in Albany. Even though Giants QB Eli Manning is Super Bowl Champion, Jets QBs Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow are being talked about the most. I feel the reason why is because the media "loves to hate" the Jets, and will do anything to rip them apart. Now, I don't plan on ripping anyone apart because one, I am a fan of the Yankees and the Jets. However, my main goal for being a sports blogger is to not offend anyone. Even though I won't speak anything insulting to the Mets or the Giants, I do tend to speak more about the Yankees and Jets. That's all I have to say for now. Have a good weekend! -NYCKNP
