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 […]

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 […]

A Look Back At In Your House Canadian Stampede

Hello and welcome to my new semi regular blog where I look to answers to many questions, mostly wrestling related. Can someone explain to me why Mark Henry is a heel, other than the obvious I mean? I’m talking purely from a character point of view, why did he suddenly become such a dick? In […]

Goodbye Macho Man

Randy Savage and Owen Hart are the reasons that you are reading this right now. Without those two men there is no We Talk Wrestling podcast, there is no wetalkwrestling.com, and simply put, I am not a fan. One Saturday morning in late 1986 a 9 year old Addie was in tears, running to his […]

Please Come Home Chris Jericho

In the early expansion of the Rock N’ Wrestling era Vince McMahon built his promotion around Hulk Hogan. Yes he was fortunate to have some other talented acts such as Roddy Piper, Randy Savage and Bobby Heenan but his strategy was to bring in stars such as Cindi Lauper and Mr.T to place the spotlight […]

I Don’t “Get” Creative

The Writers within WWE and TNA are often referred to as the creative department, or simply creative. While the idea of calling them WWE creative seems like an oxymoron to some, sort of like working lunch, or French deodorant, the truth is that sometimes it’s not that they aren’t creative enough, it’s that they’re simply […]

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.
