Over the last few days, WWE's official Twitter account has released a number of cryptic tweets that seem to relate to Kane and The Undertaker, all using the hashtag #RestinPieces. Of course, “rest in peace” is a well-known catchphrase of The Undertaker, and this seems to be a play on words of that phrase. It is this author’s belief that these tweets relate to an upcoming comic book starring the two iconic wrestlers, and possibly also to a televised reunion for the Brothers of Destruction to promote the release.  Cryptic messages have often been used to herald the return of Kane or ...

Ted DiBiase, Jr. has released a video on YouTube announcing that he is not renewing his contract with WWE. He posted a link to the video to his official Twitter account earlier today. In the video, DiBiase explains that he is departing WWE, and it would seem pro-wrestling in general, for a number of personal reasons.

The video suggests that DiBiase recognises that being a dedicated father is difficult when wrestling full-time, as it is a job which keeps ...

It is WrestleMania season baby!Around this time of year, everyone gets excited as WWE builds up for the best night of the year, WrestleMania. The promos and matches leading up to it are always brilliant and some of the TV matches this year such as CM Punk and John Cena's singles match on Raw the other night have been of pay-per-view quality themselves.WWE normally manages to keep a relatively high amount of interest in the product from WrestleMania in April until SummerSlam in August before entering a "dry season" that runs until the end of the year. All the same, there ...

A video was also posted to YouTube but immediately deleted by WWE. While an appearance at a house show does not guarantee a wrestler is returning to ...

Brock Lesnar's contract with WWE saw the company booking him for a total of 35 appearances over a year-long period starting the night after WrestleMania 28.Cast your mind back to Brock Lesnar's previous appearances to this point (summarized here with the exception of Lesnar's post-SummerSlam Raw appearance where Paul Heyman dubbed him the new "King of Kings") and see that he has 24 appearances left on his contract.I took a quick look at WWE's upcoming schedule. Assuming that, like most part-time stars, Lesnar is considered too big to appear on SmackDown!, Lesnar will exclusively be appearing on PPV (pay-per-view) and Raw. ...

Here we are again: looking at the forecast for in-ring returns by WWE's biggest stars.We have seen two major episodes of Raw—the landmark 1000th episode, and the first standard Raw of the new three hour format.

I was watching some old documentaries about WCW last night, and could not help but notice a number of striking similarities with the current way the WWE's product is created, managed and presented.Now, I do not think WWE is going to go out of business, or be bought by TNA any time soon, but it is still food for thought, and something the company should be aware of.History is there to be learned from, after all.Begin Slideshow
