Dear John Cena Haters: You Are Spot On
On December - 12 - 2009
I'm going to make this short and sweet. I came across a ridiculous article earlier from a person who is most likely 12. He gave numerous highly debatable reasons to why we should give Cena more respect and encouraged us to reject the seemingly unfair prejudice that is placed upon him.
1. He never puts anyone over.
The Miz.
He also wins the majority of feuds that he is involved in:
Big Show (numerous times), Booker T, Carlito, JBL, Kurt Angle, Edge (numerous times), Umaga (R.I.P), Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton(The most frustrating in my opinion, without question), Chris Jericho etc. The list goes ...
WWE TLC 2009 Predictions
On December - 12 - 2009
My WWE TLC Pay Per View Predictions are as follows:
ECW Champion Christian vs. Shelton Benjamin:
This is obviously going to be a high-flying, fast-paced match, and an incredible one if the WWE gives them a chance. Christian will most certainly hold his own, but in the end, after a Paydirt which lays him out, Shelton will climb the ladder to win his first, and hopefully not only, World Championship.
Winner and the new ECW Champion: Shelton Benjamin
Women's Champion Michelle McCool vs. Mickie James:
It won't make much difference to most of us whoever ...
Batista Vs Mysterio in a Street Fight! Just Not What It Used To Be…..
On December - 12 - 2009
So here I am, pumped up for a great night of Friday Night Smackdown! The last few weeks the matches have been quite dull. I mean, enough excuses but the main events weren't up to par.
But this is it, right? Batista vs. Rey Mysterio in a street fight! Anything goes! Former friends taking it out at each other in an all-out brawl. If this was a success, it would make up for the cruddy November.
I thought that I was going to get a taste of the upcoming Pay-Per-View, Tables Ladders and chairs. I mean, anything goes, right? Tables, Ladders, Chairs, ...
Dear Cena-Haters…What are you on about?
On December - 11 - 2009
Dear Cena Bashers,
I've had enough. Hating John Cena doesn't make you cool, it doesn't make you smart, and it certainly doesn't make you any more of a wrestling fan. This article is most likely going to be a waste of time, as I have learned that Cena-Haters are often the most stubborn fans. But nevertheless, I am going to address some of the issues people have with the biggest star in wrestling today.
1. He never puts anyone over.
First off I just want to say, if this is your main argument against Cena, then there's a lot of wrestlers you should have ...
TNA Wrestling: Time To Finally Let the Obsession With the WWE Go
On December - 11 - 2009
I recently saw a similar article on this subject, but because my comment on the whole issue would last as long as the actual article, I decided to write my own. TNA Wrestling has been getting better over the past year, so much so that I felt they could compete with the WWE head-to-head by the end of 2010.
TNA also feels they can compete with the WWE, except they want to try their luck at the beginning of 2010 on Jan. 4. What people should keep in mind is that this is not the first head-to-head meeting between WWE RAW ...

Sheamus, John Cena, Undertaker, and Batista: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs, Oh My
On December - 11 - 2009
As we have seen for the last few weeks on RAW, Sheamus has gotten the drop on John Cena.
The first time was at their contract signing. John took his eyes off of Sheamus for not even a split second and he was kicked in the head and dropped through a table.
At their second meeting, this last past week on RAW, Dallas Maverick Owner Mark Cuban, set up a trash talking episode between the two. Again, Cena took his eyes off of Sheamus and got the boot.
He scathed the table but Mark Cuban more or less came to Cena's rescue and ...
I Was Wrong About TNA: Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley Getting a Good Push
On December - 11 - 2009
Recently I wrote an article about how I felt the Motor City Machine Guns were being totally misused in TNA. I was dead wrong.
In the past two weeks, Shelley has gotten a singles win over a member of the British Invasion and last night Chris Sabin beat all three members in a handicap match.
First things first, Sabin had an incredible match last night versus three much larger men. He was being beaten down throughout the match, but in the end it was his quickness that helped him prevail.
A win like that is telling me that we may soon see new ...
What Will WWE Be Like in 10 More Years?
On December - 11 - 2009
With the year winding down, I thought I would focus on the future.
It's been almost 10 years since we entered the new millennium, and the wrestling business has changed a lot.
The WWE was falling behind WCW at the close of 1999, but by the end of 2000 had gained back control of the wrestling world and went on to buy out their biggest competitor.
I find myself wondering, given another 10 years, what will the WWE be like?
One thing is for sure, the roster will look different. There are five guys in particular I have no doubt will be retired by ...
Walk Before You Run: TNA Losing Focus While Trying to Run with WWE
On December - 11 - 2009
I wrote this piece about things I felt TNA should consider before worrying about a full-on Monday Night War with WWE a few days ago. After some reflection and watching tonight’s iMPACT broadcast, I want to elaborate on a point I briefly made in that article regarding the focus of the organization.
One thing I have started to notice is that TNA’s focus has shifted. From where I see it, this shift in attitude corresponds with timing of the announcement of Hulk Hogan as a new partner. They are losing their internal focus and beginning to become WWE-obsessed.
Over the past several ...
