WWE News: Three-Hour Expansion of Monday Night Raw Was a Risk Taken in 2012
On January - 1 - 2013
With 2012 now officially in the past, WWE is set to move forward in 2013 beginning with the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.At this point in time, a three-hour expansion to its flagship show, Monday Night Raw, does not seem to be a bad idea. Given the fact that wrestling superstar The Rock is set to make a return to challenge CM Punk for the WWE Championship, Monday Night Raw advancing to three hours would make sense at this present moment.Unfortunately, the WWE pulled the plug too early by giving Raw that extra third hour in 2012.Monday Night Raw had seemed to do just fine as a ...

Kaitlyn Is the Answer to the WWE Divas Division
On January - 1 - 2013
Kaitlyn is exactly what the WWE needs to make the Divas division interesting and important once again. From her larger, more muscular physique, to her different ring attire and down-to-earth attitude, she is the woman to carry the division to new heights. This isn’t to say that Kaitlyn isn’t talented, but sometimes talent isn’t everything. In the world of wrestling, how you look and how cool you pull off moves carries just as much weight. Hulk Hogan was a terrible wrestler, but he was able to carry the WWE forward based on his look, personality, style and catchphrases. While Kaitlyn ...
Mark Henry: If He Doesn’t Come Back to WWE, What Will His Legacy Be?
On January - 1 - 2013
"The World's Strongest Man," Mark Henry, has been out of action for several months with a shoulder injury, and while most expect him to return at some point, it's far from a certainty. If he can't make it back to the squared circle, then Henry's career will be remembered as one that was largely squandered but salvaged near the end.When Henry first came to the WWE in 1996 at the age of 24, he was a champion powerlifter with all the potential in the world. He was definitely a bit green to start, but the WWE clearly had a natural ...

On January - 1 - 2013
As fun as WWE's Royal Rumble 2013 would be without The Rock, it's simply unmissable with him on the card. One of WWE's biggest stars ever will main event the Jan. 27 pay-per-view at the US Airways Center in Phoenix. At 40 years old and with as many movies as he's asked to be in, who knows how many more matches we'll see him in. As far back as Raw 1000, fans knew that whoever held the WWE title would face The Rock at Royal Rumble 2013. WWE has since made him the centerpiece of its Royal Rumble ad campaign.In ...

WWE/TNA Wrestling: My Top 10 Moments of the Year 2012
On January - 1 - 2013
It has been quite the year for both WWE and TNA Wrestling. While both companies certainly had some bad moments, there was plenty of good to cancel out the bad. 2012 was an overall good year for both as they went back and forth with the momentum. The winter and spring months without a doubt belong to the WWE thanks to the Road to WrestleMania, while I feel that the summer months were highlighted by TNA Wrestling. The fall and winter months of 2012 could go either way, though, as TNA presented a great event in Bound for Glory and WWE ...
11 Wrestling Superstars the WWE Must Sign Now
On January - 1 - 2013
It's getting boring. Enough, already.While we are all fixated on the idea of The Rock and CM Punk, which should be epic in terms of match star power. We still need more. Yes, this match has the chance to top Rock/Cena from WrestleMania 28, but other than that, what has the WWE given us lately beside The Shield and the return of Ric Flair?Having AJ Lee dump on men every other week and seeing John Cena fall further and further into the abyss just doesn't cut it. Having The Rock come back to try to "save" the WWE won't work ...
