Will The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels, make an inevitable return to wrestling for the WWE?No, he will not.  It is impossible to make a comeback when...you are already back.For the last few weeks, or ever since Michaels was confirmed to be a special guest referee at Wrestlemania, we have all been pondering one question: Will HBK become "physically" involved in the match between Triple H and The Undertaker? After all, the retired superstar has all but put the kibosh on any future in-ring action.  But while we all speculate on the inevitable return of one of the greatest superstars in WWE ...

The one thing that every wrestling fan can hang their hat on is that The WWE has no plans on slowing down any time in the near future.  Vince McMahon appears to be hell-bent on becoming a global entertainment giant that garners the same respect and power as Universal Studios, Viacom, or any other number of world-renowned media companies.  But of course it starts with wrestling, and in order to grow by leaps and bounds, The WWE will rely on what it knows best.  In order to reach the ultimate goal of global domination, I give you a few first ...

Let me propose a hypothetical scenario: What if next week during a WWE RAW event, John Cena were to suffer a serious leg injury that required six months of rehabilitation? Is there a WWE superstar who is truly ready to fill John Cena’s shoes? After all, Cena has been the face of the company for nearly the last decade. But unlike with past WWE rosters, the WWE currently is suffering from a serious lack of mega-stars. Without John Cena carrying the weight, the WWE would be in serious trouble. This is a very peculiar situation. When it comes to WWE ...

For the first time in my life, I know exactly how I feel about the WWE.  Like most fans of professional wrestling, I tend to be pretty critical of the WWE.  I spend a lot of time making bold statements about why the company is in a bad place and how the bookers have no clue about what they’re doing.  Yes, I am a jaded wrestling fan, who has seen and heard it all before.  But for anybody who ever doubts the product that Vince McMahon and company put out every week, all I can say is go to WrestleMania.  As I ...

The reason that it is impossible for TNA to succeed in its current form is because mainstream pro wrestling has become stale and predictable. Now there is always at least one exception to the rule, and in the case of the wrestling business, the exception is WWE. WWE is a functional machine, which has mastered the art of churning out highly entertaining weekly television.TNA, on the other hand, is more akin to a track & field Olympian who overslept his alarm clock, and has been bringing up the rear since before the race even started. There is no need to ...

Many parallels can be made between pro wrestlers and rock musicians.  Both breeds tend to carry a similar attitude and dedication to their craft.  When you spend a majority of your life on the road doing the thing you love the most, it becomes nearly impossible to ever walk away.  Any entertainer will tell you that there is no rush compared to the one you feel from a charged up live audience. A bands career, much like a wrestlers, normally starts with humble beginnings.  Playing empty clubs and bars, and making little or no money, is the gold standard for an ...

Vince McMahon is going away.  It won’t be this year, but at some point in the near future Vince McMahon will step down from the forefront of the WWE universe.  When this day arrives, for better or for worse, we can all be sure that professional wrestling will never be the same.   How will Vince part ways with The WWE?  Does anybody in their right mind believe that Vince McMahon, the most polarizing and iconic wrestling promoter in the history of the business, will step away quietly in the night?     Knowing the way Vince handles the company, his ...

Nostalgia is dying.  As technological advances further extend generational gaps, the act of being reminiscent of days gone bye is waning. It’s almost impossible to fathom a world without infinite information at our beck and call. It used to be that grandfathers could recount stories of the sports heroes of yesteryear, exaggerating the behemoth of Babe Ruth or the awe-inspiring presence of The Four Horsemen of Notre Dame. And so are gone, the old days of sports superstars.  There will be no room for embellishment in any one man’s legacy.    Every home run, slam dunk, and body slam will be forever printed ...
