ROH Tag Team Stars Jay and Mark Briscoe Headed to the WWE?
On November - 18 - 2009
Mark and Jay Briscoe—The Briscoe Brothers. In my opinion, they are one of the best Indy tag teams out there today. They are currently under contract with ROH but wrestle both there and in Pro Wrestling Noah, as well as Full Impact Pro.
ROH gives them the opportunity to wrestle other places, similar to TNA. And of course they take full advantage of it. However, most of their time is spent inside an ROH ring. They are a tremendous team to watch, and it is obvious places like TNA and the WWE have noticed them.
Since ROH arrived on HDNet and the Briscoes finally ...
WWE Superstars: What Do You Want for Christmas?
On November - 18 - 2009
With the holiday season right around the corner, I thought it might be a good idea to give out a few WWE Christmas presents. The WWE superstars all have some little something that is missing, and this is the perfect time to fix whatever flaws they may have.
Leave it to Santa Southern here to set things straight. We will have the WWE back on it's feet in no time.
John Cena - Ah, the great John Cena. What could Cena possibly be given that the WWE does not already bestow upon him? I have the perfect gift in mind. For Mr. ...
A Call for Randy Orton To Show His Face
On November - 18 - 2009
Is it just me or has anybody else had brief thoughts regarding Randy Orton as a face? Is it time for Randy, after becoming the most dominant heel in the business, to suddenly become the good guy?
Although current circumstances would point to a great improbability of such an event occurring, I personally believe that Randy was a very talented and likable face who, because of ridiculous booking on the part of the WWE writers, was changed back to the heel moniker that had been so profitable for them in the past.
In 2004, Randy Orton had already established himself ...
Paul Burchill and Katie Lea: What’s Next for the Wrestling “Siblings”?
On November - 18 - 2009
On Nov. 17, 2009, Paul Burchill lost a match (not surprising, as that has been the norm) on ECW to the Hurricane.
What made this match different from others was the fact that this match was a "Mask vs. Career" match. If Burchill won, the Hurricane would unmask. If Burchill lost, which he did, he, along with his on-screen sister Katie Lea, would have to leave ECW.
I wasn't sure where I stood here. On one hand, I wanted the Brit to persevere and get the victory to unmask our resident hero. On the other, what else could Burchill do on ...
Who Are the Future World Champions of the WWE?
On November - 17 - 2009
The WWE has received criticism for not pushing their mid card talent to main event status lately. Everyone who watches wrestling has seen the same few guys be cycled through the main event scene for a long time now.
Guys like Batista, John Cena, HHH, Randy Orton, and The Undertaker have been taking the World Title slots for a few years. Occasionally we will see a sprinkling of guys like Jericho and CM Punk.
The real question here is who will take the torch from these guys in the next few years? Batista, HHH, and the Undertaker don't have a long time ...
What to Do With Bryan Danielson in the WWE
On November - 17 - 2009
A lot of us Internet wrestling fans have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Bryan Danielson to WWE television.
Danielson signed a deal with the company back in August of this year and it was reported that he would be bypassing developmental, which to me is a smart choice.
The WWE has a history of taking top notch talent and forcing them to change their style inside the ring, often leaving them not bringing what got them there in the first place, once on television.
Danielson has been called "The Best Wrestler In The World" by many. For a few years it was hard to make an argument against that statement.
Danielson put on numerous memorable matches inside and outside of ...

Over the years many different people have had their own opinions of what “The Greatest Match of all Time” was. I have heard so many different matches named that you could fill a years worth of PPV event with the list. Some great matches have been mentioned on this site as being the all time best match from Hulk vs Andre to Rock vs Austin. I’ve even heard some argue that the Rey vs Eddie Ladder match was the greatest match they had ever seen.
No matter what, there is always going to be different opinions on this topic, and there ...
When Pro Wrestlers Become People of Wal-Mart
On November - 14 - 2009
**It was a huge hit on the Hit the Ropes website, so we decided we would bring it to the folks of Bleacher Report, just in case you might have missed it.**
There is nothing like needing something and realizing you have to get up out of your home and head over to the nearest Walmart. Fear not, though, as the local department store can lend itself to viewing many interesting folks.
The influence of professional wrestling can be seen throughout the world, and Wal-Mart can't escape the tendrils of pro wrestling. So, thanks to the wonderful people at PeopleofWalmart.com, ...
Remembering the Legend That Was Eddie Guerrero
On November - 14 - 2009
Nov. 13, 2005 will forever be imprinted on the minds of every wrestling fan as it was the day that a true great sadly passed from this world; that great was indeed Eddie Guerrero.
After scouring the Internet, I was both shocked and ashamed that very few of my fellow wrestling writers had remembered the fourth anniversary of the death of Eddie Guerrero.
Only one article has been posted on B/R so I was compelled...no, I was driven to change that and to make sure that everyone out there will take some time out to think about the career and life of Latino Heat.
I ...
