WWE Hell In a Cell Results: What’s Next for the Undertaker After Losing to Kane
On October - 4 - 2010
Oh, how the rollercoaster runs.
Four months ago, the Undertaker was taken from us by his vengeful half-brother Kane. We all know what happened next. The ultimate jobber was brought to the top of the mountain through a series of epic promos and a briefcase.
A month and a half ago, the Undertaker returned from his vegetative state at less than 100 percent, quickly getting Tombstoned by his now more powerful brother.
While the Deadman spoke large about the house that he built for the devil, at Night of Champions, he wasn't able to overcome the wrath of the Big Red Machine.

WWE Hell in a Cell Preview: Bryan’s Predictions to Win Each Match
On October - 1 - 2010
(Didn't we just do this two weeks ago? Oh yeah, we did.)Hell in a Cell is coming up on Sunday and at the current moment we're just a bit shy of the normal number of matches for a pay-per-view as of late.Regardless of the limited quantity, we are staring down the face of some potential quality matches.There is one match on everybody's mind for each brand.For the RAW brand it is obviously the Cena/Barrett match. Are we on the cusp of Cena revisiting his roots as a heel turning the Superman that so many love to hate into Bizarro?For SmackDown, the rematch ...
The Undertaker’s Legendary WWE Career Starting To Come Full Circle
On September - 24 - 2010
As the lights dimmed on SmackDown's final episode on MyNetworkTV, I stared with joy and elation at what I just saw. Having been a fan of the World Wrestling Federation and World Wrestling Entertainment for what seems like a generation now, there are certain stories and certain gimmicks that hold the majority of my memory.
For those who have followed for as long as I have, words like Caesar's Palace, Yokozuna, and Casket Match bring back memories. Of course we're talking about the Undertaker, but the commonality shared by those three is one name—Paul Bearer.
The man holding the urn that controlled the Undertaker. ...
WWE’s Night Of Champions: 7 Things To Watch For in The Intercontinental Bout
On September - 18 - 2010
Times have been hard on the master of the Boom Boom as of late.In the past few months, Kofi hasn't gotten many a quiet moment with the Intercontinental Championship.After an extremely brutal rivalry with The Chosen One, Drew McIntyre, he was able to win the gold at the inaugural Over The Limit pay-per-view in May.After being kept busy with NXT, Kofi came back to SmackDown and lost his championship to none other than this generation's piece of perfection, Dolph Ziggler.After weeks of Kofi's anger rising because of the shenanigans pulled by Dolph and his girlfriend, Vickie Guerrero, the situation may ...
Making Up for Spilled Beer: Night Of Champions’ Six-Pack Challenge
On August - 24 - 2010
We are now less than one week away from the 900th episode celebration of Monday Night RAW and with all of the speculation leading up to it, a booking on the 899th episode struck me as interesting considering what I had seen while I was at SummerSlam.
For those of you who didn't follow the predictions or weren't there, a six-pack challenge was scheduled for the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam nine days ago. It was slated to pit Dolph Ziggler against Drew McIntyre, Kofi Kingston, Christian, Matt Hardy, and "Dashing" Cody Rhodes.
As we all know, that match never happened as the Nexus eventually interrupted ...
SmackDown: Kane’s Explaination and The Prologue To What’s Next
On August - 20 - 2010
What a difference three months has made.
My second article for the Bleacher Report was a look at how the misfortune of Undertaker's orbital injuries, after the Memorial Day weekend, gave his half-brother Kane the chance of a career—the vegetation of the Undertaker would lead to the re-rise of WWE's ultimate jobber.
This rise left many skeptical at first. How, after a decade of being relegated to the B-tier, could the powers that be possibly bring the Big Red Machine out of the hole they dug for him for so many years?
If anybody questioned the success of the ultimate push, tonight they ...
WWE: A Taste of Fresh Gold as WWE’s Changes Continue
On August - 17 - 2010
While "writing myself silly" would summarize the last 24 hours, we're going to revisit the subtle and not-so subtle changes that have been starting to grace the promotion.
Ever since the rumors surrounding a new identity package for the company and the looming 900th episode of Monday Night RAW fast approaching, what we've seen is only the tip of what could be a fairly large iceberg. Three of the more noticeable changes will be reviewed here.
Now before we begin, we're going to be staying on very objective grounds. Sure, it would be easy to bring up the Nexus as an argument for the ...
SummerSlam 2010: A Live Review and Small Look Forward to the Future
On August - 16 - 2010
Evening Bleachers! Your favorite—or not so favorite—Filipino Phenom is back from SummerSlam and a brief hiatus to bring you opinions from the nether side of the IWC. Thoughtful? Yes. Popular? Probably not. So let's get started, I need to blow off the dust.
Believe it or not, tonight was my first live pay-per-view event (if you saw the guy with the "Just Say No" sign, that was me), so there is still an air of innocence and the mystical that surrounds me at the moment.
So let me skew this SummerSlam review a little so that I don't rehash what's already been ...
Swagger In a Coffin: The Revenge of The Deadman at Money in The Bank?
On July - 17 - 2010
In an unfortunate turn of events for this "two-article-a-week" writer, there hasn't been a lot that hasn't been said in the weeks leading to this Sunday's Money in the Bank. We've speculated with Evan Bourne, the Nexus, and the vegetation of the Undertaker—but even so, if you miss a day, you're more than likely going to be writing in redundancies.
That said, we're now 48 hours away from the next event in the WWE's new pay-per-view lineup. Once again, we have five main event matches on the card, much like Over the Limit.
But since it's Friday, let's focus on SmackDown's storyline ...
The Nexus Comes Home to NXT: Speculating the Possibilities
On July - 10 - 2010
On tonight's SmackDown, while CM Punk was forgiving Serena and Big Show was busy slapping Jack Swagger silly, a commercial spot in the second hour previewed the upcoming episode of NXT.
According to the spot, The Nexus will be making a homecoming on the show that made them infamous. My ears perked and my mind started brewing in interest. If anything, this is a great series of events, as their wrath has been restricted to Monday Night RAW and a one-off FCW house show.
Coming home. What could this entail? We're not very far into the second season of NXT, as we've only ...
