Like Raisha Saeed, I can not talk about Tara without talking about the woman behind the name, Victoria. A name change doesn't change what she represents to wrestling, so I will be referring to Tara as Victoria.   Why she's good: Victoria is a veteran of wrestling. Victoria came to rise during the attitude era, a time still considered the peak of women's wrestling. With great looks and an extremely physical and aggressive move-set, Victoria quickly rose to the tops of lots of people's lists as a great talent. To this day she is one of two Divas to have ever wrestled in a ...

Lets see what wrestlers test my patience.

After some of the negative comments I've received, I've decided that, instead of replying to each one, I'll address their common comments.When I have voiced my annoyance with some of the ways the WWE is portraying itself on television, everyone seems to think that by "no longer watching" would instantly make me happy or instantly remedy the problem.The fact of the matter is, they're wrong.If I were to stop watching, how would the product get better? How would the WWE change?Sure, you can argue that it would force Vince to change things in order to try and recapture the fans, ...

When the words "greatest wrestler of all time" are mentioned, dozens of names jump to mind. Stars of the '60s and '70s such as Bruno Sammartino and Buddy Rogers.

Which wrestler combines all of the ...

They have created a blend of outstanding, as well as lackluster matches that should make for an interesting night. The question is though, will they better WWE's recent offerings, or will they fall short? In the second installment of my Tales of the Tape, i will look ...
