Even though Lesnar's head was in the right place, he was not nearly up to snuff for the NFL and was relegated to the sidelines and later released. Now, in 2013 former Tough Enough winner Andy Leavine is attempting to do what Lesnar couldn't. According to ...

With the exception of his recent Skype interview on SmackDown, Chris Jericho has not been seen on WWE TV in weeks. Overall, this is not really surprising, as "The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla" is simply living up to his nickname by touring with his band Fozzy.I give Jericho a ton of credit, especially considering he could have easily just came back for a Royal Rumble one off and been done. However, he, much like The Rock is taking time out of his schedule to give back to the company that made him. That said, it appears that Y2J will ...

This news comes as bit of a shocker.Apparently, the International Olympic Committee has opted to drop wrestling from the Olympic schedule in 2020.According to the Wall Street Journal:The IOC cut wrestling from the program for the 2020 Olympics on Tuesday, a stunning rebuke for a sport that goes back to the inaugural modern games in 1896 and has produced such champions as Russian great Alexander Karelin. While modern pentathlon was widely considered the sport most at risk, the IOC executive board surprisingly voted to remove wrestling instead from the list of 25 "core" summer sports. ...

Well, if you thought it was easy being a pro wrestler, think again.Even though the matches are scripted, there is still a physical element that is real and goes beyond anything that can be written on paper.In fact, many times, wrestlers find themselves either injured or in severe pain after they perform.Yet, for some reason, they keep getting up and coming back for more.

Through the years, the WWE has done their best to make its main title appealing.Overall, they have done a solid job at changing with the climate, that is, until the release of its current design "The Spinner."Let's face it, at one time this was a pretty sweet design, and with John Cena as champ, it served a purpose.
