Why I Wish The Undertaker Was Immortal

 UndertakerMania

Wrestlemania season is here! That means that WWE has finally focused their efforts for this two month period and are getting ready to put on their biggest show of the year. One of the annual traditions of wrestlemania, at least of the past two decades, has centered itself around the Undertaker. The streak has been protected better than the Royal Rumble winning prize and even the WWE title over the last ten years. But, such is life, people age and with that age they slow down. Undertaker is no different and he has limited himself to just a Wrestlemania match for the past few years. I know we don’t have long with the Undertaker in the ring and that saddens me. I can look at the WWE roster now and I see a lot of possibilities for Taker at Mania, most of which won’t happen since Undertaker doesn’t have that long left in the ring. Here are some opponents that make me wish that the Undertaker was immortal. » Read more..

My WWE Hall Of Fame Class of 2013

It’s one of my favorite times of the year. For me, it’s my Christmas of wrestling, a time where legends of the past are allowed, for a brief time, to be put back in the spotlight. I smile from ear to ear with each passing week as the video packages reveal the next inductee. While a vast majority of my personal favorites have already gone into the WWE Hall of Fame, there are a lot of notable superstars that I think should be in and can go in together. I’d like to qualify this column’s suggestions but saying, before it gets going, that this isn’t my “perfect class” of the WWE Hall of Fame. Bruno Sammartino does not want to go in, nor will he, so I am not going to suggest him for that reason. I understand that Mick Foley is the current plan right now to headline this year’s class but I am holding off on Mick as well. It’s not that I don’t think Foley should be in, I do, but I am going to make a case for some people to get in ahead of Mankind/Dude Love/Cactus Jack. For the purposes of this article I am going to follow the WWE formula of one woman, one manager, one tag team, a celebrity, two mid card performers, an upper midcard attraction, and a main eventer. So he’s my ideal class of 2013 based on that criteria. » Read more..

Comparing WWE 2012 to WWF 1995

Recently on our We Talk Wrestling podcast I compared TNA Impact of 2012 to the early days of WCW Monday Nitro. I did this to point out that, while there were no breakout angles, Nitro felt like a fresh alternative show to the stagnant Monday Night RAW. Fast forward 17 years later and Impact is now the fresh show while RAW is once again suffering from a lack of exciting angles and programming. That got me to thinking: What was worse, WWF in 1995 or WWE today? With that question bouncing around my brain, I decided to look at a variety of factors in coming to my conclusion.
 
The Champions
 
For the purposes of this I am going to look at just the WWF champions from 1995 and both the WWE and World Heavyweight Champions of 2012. Back in 1995 the WWF was running on Diesel Power and the engine was seizing. Until JBL came along in 2004, Big Daddy Cool had the distinction of being the worst drawing Champion on company history. While his matches with Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels were good, his clashes with Sid, Mabel, and Davey Boy Smith left something to be desired. Nash would lose the WWF title to Bret Hart at the Survivor Series in November and Bret would have an excellent title defense against the British Bulldog in December to close out the year.
