Legacy’s Evolution Doesn’t Warrant A Wrestlemania Match With Randy Orton
On March - 2 - 2010
Better late than never I suppose.
But then again as they say, if you're not going to do it right, might as well not do it at all.
Legacy and the curious case of Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase.
If you're reading this, chances are that you've caught the last two episodes on Raw and assuming such, you've seen the abolition of Legacy as we know it.
If one were to propose the current scenario to me months ago, I might have been a little disappointed.
After all, why bring an end to something that could be so great?
Could and should aside, destiny was perhaps ...
Tuesdays at TNA: Samoa Joe’s Last Stand?
On March - 2 - 2010
Often, a wrestler’s career will experience ebbs and flows whether from curtain-jerking PPVs, to becoming a promotion’s World Champion.
As fans, we go along for the ride when one of our favorite wrestlers makes it from the independent promotion to headlining main events on the national stage, agonizing over defeats and celebrating their victories.
That said, it looks as if the recent events on TNA’s Impact might be another twist in the career of our favorite Samoan Submission Machine, Samoa Joe.
When we last saw Samoa Joe, he was being “kidnapped” (I use that term loosely) by a group of black-clad people, and ...
I’m Just Sayin’: A Dissenting View of Michaels V. Undertaker
On March - 2 - 2010
The impending Wrestlemania 26 encounter between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels will be an epic boondoggle of a barnburner that will more than likely steal the show.
At the risk of being banned from pro wrestling web sites worldwide, I must make the following statement:
I never saw the Career vs. the Streak match coming.
Before hurling insults towards my general direction, at least allow the opportunity for an explanation to be given.
Ever since being awarded the Match of the Year during the 2009 Slammy Awards Show, Shawn Michaels has been obsessed with defeating The Undertaker at this year’s Wrestlemania.
While the widely recognized ...
Ex WWE/WCW Star Lance Storm Rants About TNA and Mr. Kennedy Is His Target
On March - 2 - 2010
Former WWE/WCW wrestler Lance Storm has returned with a new rant on TNA, this time raving about one of Hulk Hogan ’s acquisitions, the former WWE star Mr. Anderson (Mr. Kennedy) .
Without further delay, let’s get into the rant, provided courtesy of 411Mania and Wrestling Observer Radio, which at first glance seems more entertaining than most Lance Storm promos...
Lance Storm:
“Last week after Kurt (Angle) was so hot at him (Anderson) for spitting on the USA and Dead Soldiers, Anderson came out with this goofy who cares flippant personality. HOW does that draw money? He treated it like a joke, and ...
WWE NXT And the Indie Agenda
On March - 2 - 2010
While watching the premiere of WWE NXT last Tuesday, a few things popped into my head.
The first thing I realized is that Michael Cole could be a very good heel announcer, but he was really starting to get on my nerves during the Daniel Bryan/Chris Jericho match (More on that later).
Second, the WWE doesn't care how well you can wrestle. If you can't speak worth a lick, you are essentially worthless to them.
Watching Daniel Bryan (former ROH star Bryan Danielson) walk out in front of that huge, unfamiliar crowd, gave me a strange sensation. When he got on the microphone, ...

Why Triple H Should Ditch DX Immediately
On March - 1 - 2010
Watching Triple H and the DX gimmick lately is like watching your old Uncle Roy dance around the room singing cowboy songs in his underwear. It was funny the first time, but now it is just sad.
Triple H as “The Game” and Triple H as DX member are complete and total polar opposites. Not so long ago, Trips was in a hell of a feud with Randy Orton and getting monster pops at every arena in America and abroad. Now, when the DX music hits he is fortunate to get half that. Even when Triple H was a heel ...

On March - 1 - 2010
WrestleMania is just weeks away and with it comes the annual WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony. In 2010, the audience will gather to see Wendy Richter, Antonio Inoki, and Ted Dibiase inducted. Other rumored inductees for this years gathering are Owen and Stu Hart.
The WWE Hall of Fame started in 1993 with the induction of Andre the Giant. The Hall shut down from 1997 to 2003. The Hall was reopened in 2004 with 11 professionals being inducted, the largest class to date.
In this article, I am going to address three issues with the Hall of Fame. Should there be an ...

Kong was perhaps the best Knockout TNA had since the division started and helped build it into one of the highest rated segments on the TNA ...
