Since writing this, I have learned that Umaga has indeed passed away. It is with a heavy heart that I write this and I only hope that he and his family know how much he was respected, admired and loved by the wrestling community. Rest in Peace Edie Fatu. Tell Eddie we said "Hi." Most wrestling fans have heard by now about the tragic situation with Eddie "Umaga" Fatu. He is believed to have suffered a heart attack and is currently in the hospital in Houston, TX. Rather than focus on if Umaga is still alive, or what may have happened, I ...

Former WWE star Umaga, whose real name is Eddie Fatu, has been hospitalized and is in a “life-threatening condition,” according to reports from various wrestling Web sites. Wrestlingobserver.com reported that family members had been told that Fatu, 36, suffered a heart attack. The Web site went on to say that he apparently fell asleep watching television Thursday night, and his wife found him hours later not breathing with blood coming out of his nose. Fatu, who was fired by WWE last June for refusing to go to rehab after his second violation of the company’s Wellness Program, had just returned ...

It is being reported from various news outlets that former WWE superstar Umaga (Eddie Fatu), 36, has been hospitalized and is in life-threatening condition according to a long-time friend. Details are not clear at the moment, but some are saying that Fatu feel asleep watching TV last night and several hours later, his wife found him not breathing with blood coming out of his nose. He was then rushed to the hospital. Many believe it was drug related, simply because he has a history with drugs. I will not say that, for certain, Fatu is in the hospital over a drug ...

OK, ladies and gentlemen, I think it is time to put on the thinking caps once again and show your excellent writing prowess. Thanks to Juan and Joe Burgett for the last few writing competitions we have had lately. I figured I would spearhead one before the calendar year ends. What's better with this is you'll get a prize. Everybody loves free stuff, right? So here's the skinny on my Creature vs. Creature. I want to know your thoughts on who has been the greatest face for their respective promotion. When I say face, I don't mean good guy. For example, currently John ...

  Yesterday, I wrote an article about the possibility of The Rock coming back to World Wrestling Entertainment for one more match at Wrestlemania, against John Cena. My focus was mostly how much of a bad idea this match was. I offered a counter match of Triple H versus The Rock since those two have some much history with each other. However, in the comments section the people were overwhelming in favor of The Rock coming back to take on the Icon, Shawn Michaels. Given that I've been the biggest Shawn Michaels fan since the AWA, I can't disagree with them.  ...

Before I begin, let me say that work and everyday life have completely taken over in the past two months, and now it has slowed down to give me a chance to write. Also, neither women's division in WWE or TNA have really done anything to write about, though I have a feeling that will change. I do have two other articles in mind to write which will focus on Melina and Mickie James. I read an article on 411mania.com the other day that really had me thinking. This article has some of the websites' writers give a top-five list of greatest ...

Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm back with another, and probably useless, rumor.  Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI)—you know, that magazine we all read in elementary school that was packed with "so-called" insider information—is reporting that World Wrestling Entertainment is trying to secure a Rock versus John Cena Main Event at Wrestlemania. I highly, highly, let me say it one more time, highly doubt this even has a chance of happening.  The Rock, now known by his legal name Dwayne Johnson, has expressed zero interest in wrestling ever again. Though I believe he could be a fantastic actor, his choices for roles absolutely boggle the mind.  ...

An Open Letter to Vince McMahon and World Wrestling Entertainment: Dear Mr. McMahon, I have recently heard rumors that World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and the SyFy network are discussing a re-branding of ECW. While I know many rumors on the Internet are often based on little truth, I felt that I had to write something to you about this—not only because I am a concerned fan, but because I have actually been desperately seeking a format change to the show for the last two years. Back in 2005, when WWE introduced the first ever ECW One Night Stand pay per view (PPV), I ...

I just bought and watched the Jeff Hardy DVD and I have to say, it is an impressive outing from the WWE. The documentary is set up like that of the old boxing documentaries. It begins it's story during the preparation for Jeff's last match. Then it bounces back and forth between that match and interviews, clips and reactions from Jeff on certain moments in his career. It was really a great documentary and should have been given more hype.  The documentary has Jeff discussing, among other things, some of the superstars he has enjoyed facing since returning in 2006.  He had high ...

In a very sad story, it is being reported that WWE's ECW Brand will most likely end in early 2010. The WWE has been meeting with the SyFy Network the past few days about re-branding the show. Both the WWE and SyFy are in agreement that WWE’s ECW has been a bust and plans are already being made for a new weekly series. Several ideas have been tossed around including a magazine-style recap show. However, as of now it appears that WWE wants to make the new Tuesday night brand a “WWE Minor League” and feature young up-and-coming stars. This ...
