I’ll admit it now, Wrestlemania just isn’t getting me excited right now. Sure Undertaker’s return should be good and Punk’s promos will be worth seeing but the overall card and “buzz” just isn’t there for me. So, with that said, I’ve decided to look past Wrestlemania to the “WWE New Year”. This has historically been a time where new talents debut on the roster to start their potential build to the following year’s Wrestlemania and beyond. The WWE developmental territory, NXT, is something that we are fortunate to be able to watch on the Score in Canada so I have been able to follow this roster for many months now on a weekly basis. Here is my look at the current NXT roster and my thoughts whether go give them the call to the main roster. » Read more..

Rebuilding The X Division
At one point in time it could be argued that TNA Impact Wrestling’s legacy could
have been defined by their cutting edge X Division, as for the first several years of the promotion it was the life blood of the company and what truly made them stand out from the WWE.
Over time though it’s changed, and the X Division is now just another part of the show and a low priority one at that. Look no further than at this past Final Resolution PPV where the X Division title match was set up with a 3 way match in the last hour of the go home Impact show between Zema Ion, Kenny King and Kid Kash, none of whom were given a ring entrance, and it ended in 5:55 seconds. It would be hard to imagine less effort put in to a championship match on a PPV that was still announced ahead of time.
Still, I would love to see the X Division return to its former glory, but how do you do that?
Talent Acquisition
Once the X Division was populated by established stars with up and coming talents creating an exciting mix. Now… not so much. As we approach the end of 2012 the X consists of young guys seen as marginal talents and older performers who never reached their potential or are past their prime. And so very few of them to boot, at this point there’s only 6-7 performers active on the Impact roster web page that could be seen as competing in the X Division. » Read more..

Positive Things in Wrestling in 2012
I’ll admit it, it’s been a rough couple of months for wrestling. TNA is the better of the two companies right now, in my opinion, but even they appear to be in a slight holding pattern until they get closer to Bound For Glory. WWE seems like the puppy who lost its way right now and I don’t see any signs that it will turn around. Sure, they will get focused again in early January and stay that way until mid April but after that, I see the same old same old coming out of “The Fed”. I am, however, a positive guy. I’m always looking for a silver lining and, with that said, I’d like to share some things that I think are positives right now in the world of professional wrestling. » Read more..
