In today's setting of Professional Wrestling, you'll find few elements of both in ring action, and out, that can be considered "risque". To point to recent evidence of this fact, the Diva Bowl on this past week's Monday Night Raw is a good indicator. Recently, I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to Greenwich, Connecticut and meet with the WWE Creative team. Sadly, none of the ideas I pitched were accepted. I was met with "No, that's over the top", "Too much", "That's just wrong", and even a "That match makes Baby Jesus weep for you". Let's see what you, the ...

Kurt Angle. What can we say about the man, that hasn't been said already? Without a doubt, he can arguably be considered the greatest technical wrestler today. Come with me, wrestling fans, and let me take you on a journey of images both stunning and surreal. Today we will bear witness to some of Kurt Angle's less-used finishers and signature moves, some even dating back to his Olympic Gold Medal winning amateur wrestling days. Are you ready? No, you're not, but click on the little arrow, anyway, and let's get started, shall we? Begin Slideshow

Hulk Hogan.  Ric Flair.  Rey Mysterio.  Edge.  The Undertaker.   What do these wrestlers have in common?  Well, at some point some know-it-alls at one point or another decided to publish an article depicting these athletes as being “overrated”.   None of these compare, however, to just how over-the-top, inexplicable, and undeserving of the love received by wrestling fans, to the Texas Rattlesnake.  Yep, that’s right.   “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.   I said it.   I mean, I just don’t get it.  Can someone help me out, here?  Let’s see the rundown…   Really?   So you have this guy.  He’s a badass from Texas.  God, what a crappy gimmick.  I mean, the ...

It’s no secret the life of a professional wrestler is beyond rigorous.  In fact, take away the expected bumps, bruises, cuts, scrapes, burns, etc a wrestler receives in the course of in-ring action.   Let’s take a look at the rigorous schedule they face.   A pro wrestler working on the road is travelling for most of the year, thanks to the fact that there is no such thing as an offseason in professional wrestling.   For extremely long stretches of time, a wrestler is staying in a hotel overnight.  I’m not sure about anyone else, but for me, strange places make for restless, sleepless nights.   Of ...

Many of us have heard the old saying before.  Don’t Fish off the Company Pier.  Don’t [defecate] where you sleep.  Don’t dip your pen in the company ink well. You get the point. In certain lines of work, however, it’s almost impossible.  Take Professional Wrestling, for example.  Not many women these days are satisfied with playing the happy housewife while the “Man of the House” goes gallivanting off on the road for extended periods of time. As a result of the aforementioned, many times Professional Wrestlers are left to select potential wives, girlfriends, or hook-ups (holla if ya hear me) from a pool ...

What’s this?  A late entry?  Yes!  Bleacher Creatures, behold the genius of the argument I bring to the table, and despair!   In yesterday’s and today’s world of Professional Wrestling for both men and women, a shot at a Championship, carving out a legend for one’s self, or even merely getting over with the fans called for untold amounts of hard work, blood, sweat, and self-sacrifice.  In short, a wrestler would have to pay their dues.   So talented, so skilled, so brilliant, and so…entitled is today’s subject, that her legend wasn’t merely the result of hard work, but rather a matter of preordained ...
