On March - 20 - 2011ADD COMMENTS
Since returning to the WWE in August 2010, Daniel Bryan has showed much promise in becoming a top main event player in WWE with his technical wrestling skills. His popularity is what got him his job back after his incident in June, but since then his credibility has been put in question.The renewal of his feud with The Miz in the fall was amazing. It gave us excellent matches, good booking and paved the way for Bryan's future in WWE. However, that has been the only feud that Bryan has participated in since October, if you don't count his on ...

On March - 20 - 2011ADD COMMENTS
After over 20,000 votes were cast this week to determine the King of the Internet, it was none other than John Cena who rose to the occasion once again to register his fourth consecutive victory in a match which he trailed by double digits.
John Cena has become the most polarizing pro wrestling figure of this generation, bringing joy to the hearts of children and tweens, while inciting ire from more informed fans who tend to inhabit the Internet.
Or does he?
This tournament has basically shown us that John Cena receives a "hate him or love him" reaction even on the Internet, ...
WrestleMania XII Rematch, Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart: Who Is the Greatest?
On March - 20 - 2011ADD COMMENTS
Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels' match at WrestleMania XII was a legendary encounter. Their match at the 1997 Survivor Series is perhaps the most talked about in wrestling history.
They are two wrestling legends, who after April are deserving Hall of Famers. But who is the greatest?
As wrestlers, they are almost polar opposites. Shawn Michaels is the ultimate showman: flamboyant, high flying and colourful. Bret Hart is technical, traditional and conservative.
With their respective careers now finished in the ring, history will begin to analyse and interpret their legacies in the wrestling business. Furthermore, because we were robbed of one final showcase match between ...

On March - 20 - 2011ADD COMMENTS
What's up, ladies and gentlemen? My name is Eric Kanes and I welcome you to this week's edition of "Smack Talk."
Now, over the past few weeks, I have been trying out several different formats for my reviews. I was reviewing RAW this past Monday and I just tried to get through it quickly in a bullet point format due to a lack of time, but in my opinion, that turned out to be one of my best reviews yet. Therefore, that is the format that I will be using from now on (although I may try out one or two more). Let me ...

He has gone by many nicknames. The Heartbreak Kid. The Main Event. The Icon.But when it comes to the Wrestlemania event, no nickname better suits Shawn Michaels than "The Showstopper."He has provided the fans of World Wrestling Entertainment and the entire world of sports-entertainment matches and moments that will live forever in pro wrestling lore.

TNA’s Immortal: How Looking to the Past Might Save This Group’s Future
On March - 20 - 2011ADD COMMENTS
If there's one thing that TNA fans know, it's that Total Nonstop Action loves looking to the past for inspiration. Their current title holder, Sting, is probably about ten years past his prime, even if he's still capable of putting on a decent enough match.
Meanwhile, Sting's greatest foe is none other than his biggest rival from the now decade-defunct WCW, Hulk Hogan. The more things change...
Of course, this time around, Sting is not combating Hollywood and a massive group of ex-WWE talent called the New World Order. Instead, he's battling Hogan, Eric Bischoff and, well, a sort of nebulous blob known as ...
