Randy Orton: The True Star of Evolution
On March - 26 - 2010
There once was a little stable by the name of Evolution, which consisted of "The Game" HHH, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Animal" Batista, and of course "The Legend Killer" Randy Orton.
Now in my opinion, forget DX, forget NWO, forget the Nation Of Domination, The Corporation, The Corporate Ministry, forget all those stables. None can compare to Evolution.
Evolution I feel was the new age Four Horseman. You had the greatest stars of the past, present, and future.
Now, Randy Orton has enormous talent, and ever since he came back to the WWE from his broken collarbone, and then motorcycle accident, ...
Why WWE Would Be Crazy to Let Shawn Michaels End “The Streak”
On March - 26 - 2010
Let me preface everything I'm about to write by stating that I think this is the best build to a WrestleMania in years.
There are three matches I'm legitimately excited about (Undertaker/Michaels, Edge/Jericho, Punk/Misterio), and five others I think should at least be fun (Hart/McMahon, Batista/Cena, MITB Ladder Match, HHH/Sheamus, Tag Title Match). That leaves just one stinker, which is a damn good ratio for WWE's biggest show of the year.
However, in terms of long-term booking and the future of the company, I think WWE has made a mistake in having a rematch between Shawn Michaels and The ...
WWE: What the PPV Format Should Look Like
On March - 26 - 2010
A lot of people are angry at the WWE's gimmick PPV names and changes they've made, especially the stupid Money In The Bank PPV name.
But I for one, agree with most people when we say that too many of these gimmick PPVs won't do any good for the WWE Empire.
I looked at the WWE PPV Schedule and I have decided to show you what I would do if I was in the Creative Team and which PPVs should happen.Begin Slideshow
A Two-Pronged Look Ahead to WrestleMania 26
On March - 26 - 2010
In two short days, the 26th installment of professional wrestling's biggest event, Wrestlemania, kicks off from the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.
With a strong card from top to bottom, Vince McMahon has the potential to make this year's Wrestlemania one of the most memorable.
But will he?
This week's Raw and Smackdown gave us a little hint into which direction McMahon will ultimately decide to go Sunday night.
Even though McMahon probably hasn't decided the outcome of every match, smart wrestling fans likely have an idea how things will go down.
Let's take a look at those potential outcomes, as well as ...
The 10 Most Intimidating Wrestlers in WWE History
On March - 26 - 2010
Only their presence is intimidating; size does matter, but there's more. The total package includes charisma, a well-done gimmick, at least one World Title reign, unreal strength, amazing endurance, and that little something.
All the wrestlers who made list reached the main-event level and most of them have headlined WrestleMania.
The following behemoths didn't make the list despite their size: Big Daddy V, Giant Gonzales, Mark Henry, Kamala, Snitsky, Earthquake and Mike Knox...
...so who are the most intimidating wrestlers of the last 30 years? Who's the intimidation total package? All of them have some of the requirements, but only ...
Should TNA Wrestling Get a Second Television Show?
On March - 25 - 2010
I've read about a thousand articles on Bleacher Report that all claim to have the solution to what ails TNA. I've even written a few of those articles myself. But one thing that I've never heard is a solution that may seem to be the most obvious:
Add a second show.
Now hold on. I know what you're thinking. "TNA can't even do right by the show they have on now!" I'm going to explain to you why TNA Impact, as their lone show, has too much working against it right now and why a second show is just the thing to fix many ...
Wrestlemania 26: A Golden Opportunity for WWE
On March - 25 - 2010
Hey guys, I’m finally back. This time my talk is going to center around the granddaddy of them all, Wrestlemania 26.
I don’t know about you but the build up aside, this year's card shows a lot of promise, and if properly conducted, it can shut TNA up for a long time to come.
This is a golden opportunity for WWE to win back millions of fans. I mean a lot more people who do not watch WWE on a regular basis are going to watch, and if they can be persuaded to watch WWE regularly, that would help WWE in huge ...
Showstopper: A Career Retrospective of The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels
On March - 25 - 2010
"I will give you a show like you have never ever seen before...why? Because I can." For the last two decades Shawn Michaels has done just that for WWE Fans. He has had more show stealing matches than any other superstar in the WWE and he has become one of the most legendary superstars in WWE history. Starting out as one half of the high flying Rockers tag team Shawn, along with Marty Janetty, would take tag team wrestling to a whole new level. In 1992 Shawn would turn on his partner and set out on a singles career that ...
The New Age Outlaws…Wrestling Gods?
On March - 25 - 2010
"Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, children of all ages, Degeneration X proudly brings to you, the TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WOOOORRRLLLLLLLDDDDDD! The Road Dogg Jesse James! The Bad Ass Billy Gun! The NEW AGE OUTLAWS!"
Anybody who grew up watching wrestling during the attitude era, remembers that and could say it in their sleep.
The New Age Outlaws were probably at that time, one of, if not the best tag teams in the WWE (WWF at the time).
I recently watched an RF Video, with both of The Outlaws, real names B.G. James (Road Dogg) and Monty 'Kip' Sopp (Billy Gun)
For ...

A History of "Money in the Bank"
Since Wrestlemania XXI , the "Money in the Bank" ladder match has been used to ascend a developing upper midcarder into the main event picture, spicing up the stalling scene.
Four men; Edge, Rob Van Dam, Mr. Kennedy, and CM Punk twice, have won the event over the years. Of them, three successfully cashed in the case, while the other forfeited it due to injury. The most successful cash ins created heels, and it has become a tradition to have the case cashed in at a moment of vulnerability.
Four of the five cash ins ...
