We’re back! Welcome the 2nd edition of the Drive/Off. If you missed last week's, this new concept is has been created to fuel the common art of debates. Like I stated last week, debates are healthy and a natural part of being in the Internet Wrestling Community (IWC). With each passing week, there’s a set of outrageous, factual, or unexpected news to hit the B/R from dirt sheets. Naturally, most of the IWC flock to the comment section to voice our opinions on the subject at hand. On the other hand, the actions of WWE Creative tend to drive us ...
WWE Gimmick Intervention: How To Repackage John Cena
On March - 13 - 2011ADD COMMENTS
Do not fear, this is not the latest in a long line of articles demanding that John Cena must turn heel. Whether you desire the heel turn or not, it will not happen in the foreseeable future. Cena brings in too much money as the perennial baby face, and as we speak, no one else is ready to fill the void if Cena was to turn heel. However, just because it is unlikely he will be turning heel does not mean his character cannot be tweaked or enhanced. As I alluded to in a previous article, John Cena’s character lacks ...
WWE: Is Michael Cole an Amazing Heel or Simply Annoying?
On March - 13 - 2011ADD COMMENTS
There is an extremely fine line for wrestling heels in regards to being effective and annoying. Some will correctly argue that even if you are annoying, you are doing your job as a heel. You are being loathed. And yet, I cannot help but think that wrestling fans must surely have a limit in terms of what they are willing to accept from a heel. There must be a line in which we mark as being effective heel behaviour and something that is just poorly devised. The curious case of Michael Cole is one that divides many. His behaviour at ...

WWE: The Rise and Fall of Kofi Kingston?
On March - 13 - 2011ADD COMMENTS
Ted DiBiase, Jr. Tyson Kidd. Sheamus. Kofi Kingston—oh, wait! Did I just say Kofi Kingston, the reigning Intercontinental Champion? Yep. And what do these men have in common? They are all in current losing streaks as of late, getting buried as they always say in wrestling terms.
After reading my fellow Bleacher Erik Beaston's article,

The Ghanaian high-flier made his WWE debut in December 2007, as part of ECW's "new superstar initiative" and immediately became one of the WWE Universe's most popular superstars. But his big breakthrough ...
