Hunk.  Beefcake.  That actor who always gets groped when he does interviews.  These are all common descriptions of Sabotage actor Joe Manganiello.  Even though he's a serious performer who graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a BFA in acting and even directed a documentary about Pittsburgh Steelers fans, he's rarely given the respect he deserves. Now, in addition to all of the labels about his looks, there's a more substantive one you can add: Huge pro wrestling geek. "It's theater.  But it's theater, [and] it's the circus.  I've always loved wrestling.  I've been a massive wrestling fan...I consider myself somewhat of an encyclopedia of ...

WWE has turned "The Beast" Brock Lesnar into an invertebrate in his rivalry with Undertaker. Monday's Raw added another image of Lesnar as a weakling rather than a conqueror. Of all the major WrestleMania matches, this buildup remains the most one-sided and most flawed. For the first time in weeks, Lesnar and Undertaker met face-to-face. The two titans entered the Barclays Center as fans expected animosity to increase between them and for a car crash-like collision to take place. Instead, Lesnar left the night looking feeble. Lesnar called out his WrestleMania opponent and a cluster of druids answered by bringing a casket to the ring. ...

It could arguably be regarded as one of the most disappointing returns in the history of the WWE, and for Batista, things have been far from ideal since he came back to the company. The hype surrounding his return to the wrestling world suggested it would be a pretty enormous first few months. And indeed, the fact he won the Royal Rumble in his very first match back in the ring confirmed that to an extent. But ironically, that night was where it all started to go wrong for Batista. The fact that the supremely over Daniel Bryan wasn't even in the ...

Beaten, restrained and made to wear his enemy's mask, John Cena may not have felt like the March 24 edition of WWE Raw earned him a victory, but his rivalry with Bray Wyatt was one of the night's biggest winners. That story got pushed forward while the one featuring Brock Lesnar and Undertaker remained one-sided. Lesnar joins AJ Lee and The Miz as Superstars who benefited the least from Monday's Raw. The members of The Shield and Christian represent the other side of the spectrum. They all scored wins in the ring along with added momentum and spotlight. A fervent Brooklyn crowd watched ...

After marrying businessman Jared Pobre on March 9 in Mexico, former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler has announced that she and her new husband are expecting a child, according to Elizabeth Leonard of People.com.      Keibler made the formal announcement of her pregnancy via her Twitter and Instagram accounts: The couple told People.com, “More blessings!! We’re an elated family-to-be!” Kiebler’s husband stated in the same report, “I’m extremely excited about starting a family and building a future with Stacy.” Pobre, a 39-year-old CEO for a private interactive firm, and Keibler, a 34-year-old former wrestler turned actress, married in Punta Mita, Mexico, earlier this month in ...

There are not, and may never be, two Superstars so readily attached to one another than Bret "Hitman" Hart and Shawn Michaels. Their rivalry off-screen is as storied as their in-ring feud, spanning several documentaries and one of the most infamous and relived moments in sports entertainment history. Whether it was as members of popular tag teams, company-carrying main event stars or backstage politicians, Hart and Michaels always managed to find themselves in competition with one another. While their clash for the WWE Championship in November of 1997 at the Survivor Series in Montreal may be more talked about, dissected and and ...

Patience was a virtue on Monday Night Raw this week. The show trundled along somewhat, lacking the kind of zest that you might expect from the penultimate episode before WrestleMania XXX. However, business really picked up towards the end of the evening. We were treated to a vintage Undertaker segment on his 49th birthday as well as a fantastic tag team match that would not have looked out of place had it been saved for the Showcase of the Immortals. But what exactly can we take from this week's Monday Night Raw? This article runs through five of the biggest talking points from the ...

While watching The Shield evolve into bigger stars over the last few weeks, it has become increasingly difficult to imagine that Seth Rollins was seen as an afterthought when the trio debuted in November of 2012. If we've learned nothing else during this face turn heading into WrestleMania, it's that Rollins may turn out to be the biggest star of this uber-talented stable.  Of the three, Rollins was the first guy signed to a WWE developmental contract. Inked during his run as Ring of Honor champ, the former Tyler Black was viewed by many as a gifted in-ring performer with little charisma and ...

The penultimate Raw before WrestleMania XXX emanated from Brooklyn and featured a very hot crowd and some tremendous in-ring action. John Cena continued to express fear and doubt heading into his match against Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania. How would those feelings affect him as he took on Luke Harper in singles competition? After being gunned down and left lying in the ring for the first time in their main roster careers, the members of The Shield were looking to inflict their own brand of justice on those responsible. Ryback, Curtis Axel and the Real Americans would give them a sense of satisfaction, ...

WrestleMania is all about glory. The moments that are made and the matches that are witnessed are supposed to go down as the finest moments in WWE history. To be fair, there have been plenty of moments for fans to enjoy over the years. With the 30th edition of the show just a couple of weeks away, there is much to be remembered and savored. However, for all the good, there have been some moments where WWE have dropped the ball on occasions. They have managed to miss some golden opportunities to create even more history. That could be dream matches that never ...
