It's that time of year again—the grandest stage of them all—WrestleMania. As always, I'll be sewn to my couch watching the event live on Pay-Per-View, so there won't be any live blogging for this show. A show of this magnitude requires full attention.This year's event is being pushed as the biggest and best yet (as it usually is), but this year's card has the potential to be so much more. I'll run down the card and give you my thoughts and predictions on what's going to happen.Last year, I went a less than stellar 4-4-1 in my WrestleMania predictions. Who ...

RAW Raw comes to you on a tape delay from London, England. Opener Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross are the starting announce team. I don’t mind Josh Mathews or Booker T, or any combination thereof, but I’m getting tired of this announce team carousel. Just stick with your bread and butter. The guys just keep switching in and out, I feel like I’m watching the end of a baseball game. Anyways, R-Truth kicks off the show by celebrating his new No. 1 Contender’s spot. He talked about having to overcome trials and tribulations during ...

It's been about one full week since Edge (also known as Adam Copeland) dropped the bombshell, announcing that he's retiring from professional wrestling. I wanted to watch Raw and SmackDown and let each one sink in a little bit before offering my thoughts on his career, retirement and legacy. Edge, just 37 years old, officially wrestled his last match on April 3—WrestleMania 27—as World Heavyweight Champion. And won. Let that sink in for a second—how much better of a send off could you possibly ask for? Entering the biggest show of them all as ...

Raw comes to you live from Bridgeport, Connecticut.   Opener John Cena comes out to a mixed reaction. He talks about the Rock/Cena main event for WrestleMania 28, discussed last week. He says that if it's the biggest match of all time, it needs to be for the WWE championship. Randy Orton comes out and tells Cena to stay out of the title picture and to let someone else—such as Orton— have a shot, since he won at WrestleMania. John Morrison comes out next and says that we've seen the same guys in there before, and that he should be ...

It's that time of year again—WrestleMania! As we enter WrestleMania XXVII weekend, let's take a look back at the Top 10 WrestleMania events of all-time. 10. WrestleMania VIII Probably the most underrated/unrecognized show of all-time.Randy Savage vs. Ric Flair for the WWF Championship was a great bout—tons of drama, excitement and a solid finish that kept everyone at the edge of their seat. Flair even did his famous blade job and was a mess by the end of the match.This show also marked the singles debut of Shawn Michaels, arguably the greatest all-around ...

So I’m not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but TNA president Dixie Carter has a Twitter account, as does the founder of TNA, Jeff Jarrett. Which is great...it lets fans get into contact with TNA, which helps the product. The more accessible it is, the more one is drawn to it. That said, getting a Twitter account is just about the only good thing TNA has done in quite some time. For a while, Dixie has been giving teases and small spoilers into what new “changes” and “surprises” ...

After arguing with some friends regarding Christian’s TNA departure and WWE return, I have given a lot of thought as to why Vince would put Christian on ECW, and not on a bigger brand with a title push. Vince’s hate for Christian is evident. Did Christian screw himself by coming back? As a solo wrestler, prior to his TNA departure, Christian won the Hardcore Championship, the European Championship and the Light-Heavyweight Champion once, the Interncontinental Championship three times and nine World Tag Team Championships (seven alongside Edge as Edge & Christian, one with Lance Storm ...

This past Sunday at WrestleMania 26, one of the few remaining Attitude Era superstars, and one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all-time, Shawn Michaels, retired after losing a classic to the Undertaker. There has already been much speculation regarding his retirement—is it real? Will he stay retired? "I appreciate the ‘one more match’ chants, but I’m going to everything in my power to make sure that that doesn’t happen," Michaels said on Monday. And who can blame him? For wrestling fans that are old enough, many of us saw Michaels as a young man entering ...

A lot of people are asking me about Lance Cade’s passing last week (August 13). I’m not going to do a big piece on steroids in pro wrestling since I just wrote a thesis on steroids in professional sports. Nonetheless, I’ll comment on my thoughts surrounding steroids in pro wrestling since it remains a topic that continues to come to the forefront of the industry. So as we all know, last week, Lance McNaught (aka Lance Cade) died what appeared to be heart failure. He was just 29 years of age. McNaught’s wife, ...
