Addressing Atlanta: The WrestleMania 27 Report Card
On April - 4 - 2011
Occasionally in society, we joke about certain actions that display emotion, more specifically, disappointment. For example, if somebody says something unintelligent, one may perform a "face-palm," and shake their head.
When this action is legitimate though, there may be a problem. A Georgia Dome-sized problem.
WrestleMania XXVII has come and passed, undoubtedly leaving a cloud of clustered mess and head-scratching behind. Yet how did each match perform individually?

An Outsider’s Predictions for Wrestlemania XXVI
On March - 28 - 2010
It is rare I ever decide to venture into the wrestling field. I used to be a huge fan back in the mainstream days of the Attitude Era, but with the PG-product came my loss of interest.
I am a fan of the business strictly nowadays, and rarely divulge myself into the programs.
Yet it has become impossible to ignore this time of year. That time in which the entire world forgets about the NCAA Tournament, where all eyes are on the spectacle that is Wrestlemania.
With this year's event being held at the same place of my favorite Super Bowl of all-time ...
