The 3rd of April marks this year's annual sports entertainment extravaganza, the Superbowl of wrestling: WrestleMania, and doubtless this year it will be bigger than ever.So far, the build-up to the event has centered around guest host, The Rock, and his memorable interactions with John Cena and The Miz, the disrespecting of Jerry Lawler by Michael Cole, the current queen of pop culture, Snooki, the rise of Alberto Del Rio, and, of course, The Streak.WrestleMania, like all WWE Pay-per-views, is more unpredictable than it is given credit for, but this year, there are some certainties. Those will be detailed here, ...

When the story broke that WGN will drop WWE Superstars, my first thought was for WWE's young preliminary talent.For a lot of superstars, the show of the same name was the best chance of development and TV time.Unfortunately, it soon became clear that management wasn't going to treat it seriously, which led to the poor ratings and eventual cancellation.Without Superstars, there will be a handful of superstars without a country, and it seems there will be some 'future endeavors' to come.But there are some superstars who deserve to keep their jobs and who WWE would make a mistake in releasing.Begin ...

Up until last Monday, I think it's fair to say that the general consensus among wrestling fans was that The Rock would never wrestle another match. His return on RAW this week, however, seemed to suggest that maybe, just maybe, that isn't the case. I think it's also fair to say that the vast majority of fans would rate Rock-Cena as a dream match, and Rocky's promise to 'see' John Cena at WrestleMania seemed to suggest that it is a possibility. In my opinion, the match is a possibility, but at WrestleMania XXVIII in Miami, instead of this year in Atlanta, ...

It seems clear that The Rock, who retired from the industry so young, will never wrestle a full match again.Mr. McMahon's announcement this coming Monday regarding the 'Guest Host' of WrestleMania, however, have set many tongues wagging that it would be the perfect role for a brief return for 'The Great One'.If that is the case then we're bound to see a Rock Bottom or two, but still no match. Nonetheless, if our wishes were to come true, and he were to wrestle a full match again, who would we want him to take on so as to not waste ...

For the past month or so, Jerry "The King" Lawler has been stepping away from the commentary booth and into the ring, competing alongside the biggest names WWE has to offer. That includes people like John Cena, Randy Orton and most notably, The Miz, who he came incredibly close to beating for the WWE Championship in one of the better matches of the year. This week on RAW, after being placed in a battle royal to determine the No. 1 contender to the WWE Championship, Lawler was confronted by Ted DiBiase, who accused him of stealing the limelight from younger superstars ...

It is no secret that WWE pay-per-view buy rates have been in decline in recent years. This is, of course, understandable as people find themselves with less disposable income to spend on things like PPVs.But WWE can't just blame its fledgling PPV business on the current economic situation. There are problems with WWE's PPV presentations and schedule that make its events seem less special, and less worth paying for.So far WWE seem unwilling to radically change how it markets pay-per-views, but if Vince McMahon and Co. want to increase not only their profitability but their quality, they need to refine ...
