Wrestling’s Lost Art of the Entrance Theme
On February - 24 - 2010
Think about your favorite wrestler. What is the easiest thing that you can identify him with? His entrance theme. In this era of PG wrestling, so many things have been sacrificed for money and mainstream acceptance. From pay-per-view names, to wrestlers' freedoms to improvise on their characters, and to something as simple as blood in a match. But what many people seem to bypass is the generalization of the entrance theme. Gone are the days when you would hear an opening note and instantly know who was going to walk out through the curtain. ...

A Friendly Warning for TNA
On February - 20 - 2010
Recently, yesterday actually, I wrote an article on the woes, to put it lightly, of TNA. Looking back, I may have sounded bias and as a WWE "fanboy." This is to clarify a few things.
Now, I am far from being a TNA mark but I do want the business to improve and blossom and TNA holds the key to that happening being the second largest wrestling company in the world.
Many are excited for the return of the "Monday Night War" as the Jan. 4 ratings for TNA showed, but was that an aberration? Were people really tuning in for TNA ...

On February - 19 - 2010
Is that it, TNA? Really? You are gearing up to "compete" against the WWE with your current product.
Wow. Hogan, Bischoff, Dixie, you are in for a rude awakening.
Seeing iMPACT tonight was very entertaining for all the wrong reasons.
Where to start?
Let's start at the top. The Pope comes out and with his limited mic skills goes on a rant about Ric Flair and his protegee AJ Styles.
After an eternity of Flair trying to put Styles over, The Pope lashes out only to be subdued by Flair and Styles. End segment.
Does TNA really expect to compete with AJ Styles as ...

WWE: The Legacy of the Survivor Series
On February - 18 - 2010
Take the momentum of WrestleMania III, and a mega feud between Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant, and give them four partners each. What do you get?
The Survivor Series.
WWE Chairman Vince McMahon announced last week that WWE will no longer name its November pay-per-view event "Survivor Series", citing that the concept had run its course.
Upon hearing this, I was sad that one of the "Big Four" was going away. But after analyzing the situation, I realized that, like the ECW name, all good things must come to an ...

On February - 18 - 2010
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.
Those words rang true when it came to describing Bret "The Hitman" Hart back in the early and mid '90s. To today's fans he is most famous for the Montreal Screwjob but the legacy he left is much greater than that.
His in-ring ability was matched by only a handful. He put on some of the greatest matches in World Wrestling Federation history. From his early classics against Mr. Perfect at SummerSlam '91 and his Cage Match against his brother Owen Hart at SummerSlam '94 to ...
