Cleveland Is Suplex City

The WWE came to town the other night for it’s weekly show Monday Night RAW. Former WWE and UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar made his return as well and was wearing a special “Suplex City – Cleveland, Ohio” shirt.

As a big wrestling fan and obviously a Cleveland fan, this one really hit my sweet spot.

Keep The Faith Cleveland

The Cavs made an incredible run to the NBA Finals this past year. They posted this image to their Facebook page the night of the last game of the finals with a simple note: “Keep the faith, Cleveland.”

‘Not Enough Grit’ ~ The Plain Dealer

I try to keep things very positive here on TCB. We all know that our beloved Cleveland Cavaliers came up short last night in the NBA Finals. They battled to the very end. Playing essentially with only 7 guys the Cavs made a run that has galvanized the city and has us excited for the future.

The Plain Dealer on its front cover chose to tell a different story.

Not Enough Grit - Plain Dealer

I won’t go into this a whole lot, but this is really upsetting to me. They had a chance to embrace the city and this team and they chose to go this route. All I’ll say is this… Does it surprise anyone that no one subscribes any more?

Will The Streak Continue?

I was sitting in one of my favorite Cleveland watering holes (The Winking Lizard) the other day and saw this stat flash across the television. It’s been 50 seasons since the Indians last won a title. 47 seasons for the Browns, 44 for the the Cavaliers. Will those streaks continue or will the Cavs be able to come back from a 2-3 deficit in the NBA Finals?

Seasons Without A Title

Since Last Cleveland Title

How long will these streaks continue? If it’s not the Cavs this season what is the best chance for Cleveland to win a title?

A Pro’s Take On A Cleveland Night

Professional photographers amaze me. They have the ability to capture their subjects in a way that’s simply breathtaking. There’s a reason we’ve got the saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” We’re lucky to have quite a few professional photographers that call Cleveland home.

Jason Crocker is a Cleveland-based wedding photographer that I’ve been following on Instagram and Twitter for a while now. In addition to some beautiful wedding pictures every now and again he’ll turn his camera toward the town I love.

He snagged this shot and said: “I’ve been really getting a lot of work done this week, but last night I really hit a wall and needed to go play with my camera. Cleveland is such a beautiful city. #thisiscle #cleveland #lights #clevelandgram #longexposure”

The Nature Boy In Cleveland

Nature Boy Ric Flair was in the house last night for Game 4 of the NBA Finals. As a pro wrestling fan for the past 30 years this was totally awesome for me. WOOOOOO!  One question… Why is Moondog wearing underwear?
