Four Guys You Might Not Know WWE Still Has

I often go to wwe.com when I get some free time and have a look around to see what they have on their site. Recently, I found myself on the roster page of the website and noticed that I was repeatedly saying “Really?” a lot, as I was surprised that certain people are still on […]

Why the X Division Matters

On July 10th, 2011 TNA / Impact Wrestling will present Destination X, which for me is the most important PPV in the history of the company. On June 19th 2002 a new North American promotion opened it’s doors on PPV hoping to take a bite out of the WWE’s pie and seeking to appeal to […]

My 5 Caged Memories

With the upcoming release of the new WWE DVD “The Greatest Cage Matches of All Time”, I thought that I would sit back and reflect on some of my very favorite cage matches of the over 25 years I have been a wrestling fan. They are in no particular order, and I know I will […]

The New/Old Idea of Managers

It’s something that I’ve been wondering about for years: Where are all the managers? My childhood memories are chalked full of guys like Bobby Heenan, Jimmy Hart, J.J Dillon, and even “The Doctor of Style” Slick. They were all great colorful characters that added so much, not only to the guys that they were managing […]

Lethal Blow for TNA’s X Division

Jay Lethal has left TNA. On the surface this may not seem like such a big deal, but it speaks to a bigger issue within the company. The problem isn’t just that they’ve lost a talented and likeable young star, it’s that he was one of the few remaining holdovers from when I enjoyed the […]

Who Should or Even Could Challenge The Miz

Sherlock Holmes had Professor Moriarty. The Batman had The Joker.   Hulk Hogan had Roddy Piper. Stone Cold had Mr. McMahon.   I have Addie.   The WWE is solidly behind The Miz, but he’s hurt because he has no one, and no one is on the horizon. It’s starting to look to me like […]
