I recently posted a relatively well received ranking of wrestling's top 25 rivalries of all-time. Of course, any ranking is always open to criticism and suggestion, but I noticed two things about the reader comments.The first thing that struck me was that there was a tendency among a few of those commenting to confuse an attempt at objective analysis with an assessment of personal favorites.The second thing I noticed was a bias towards the modern era and the way in which certain feuds managed to stick in the minds of readers, when other more notable and far more historically important ...

With Edge gone and the World Championship now vacant, a 20 man Battle Royal took place in Albany to determine who will face Alberto Del Rio in a Ladder match for the title at Extreme Rules.The participants were:Big Show, Chris Masters, JTG, Yoshi Tatsu, Trent Barreta, Heath Slater, Ezekiel Jackson, Chavo Guerrero, Wade Barrett, Justin Gabriel, Tyler Reks, Kofi Kingston, Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes, Curt Hawkins, Christian, Jack Swagger, Rey Mysterio, Brodus Clay and Kane.Begin Slideshow

This Friday night on Smackdown, Edge will surrender the World title. The show, as I am sure you all know, was taped on Tuesday and is said to be really, really good, especially at the end when Christian and Edge celebrate Christian winning the title shot against Alberto Del Rio at Extreme Rules. In a surprising move, actual footage from WWE television was released showing Edge relinquishing the title. WWE usually likes to play things pretty close to the chest and give the illusion that Smackdown is airing live, even though we all know better. It's roughly 10 minutes and Edge gets even ...

Edge's retirement is still the talk of the professional wrestling community. There are a number of questions that WWE has now that he has retired, and none of us know how they are going to answer them. The WWE roster is as thin as it has been in decades. That's the whole reason that R-Truth is in the championship match at Extreme Rules, so they can try and can get someone else over. Of course, he will probably just be the sacrificial lamb that will get pinned by Cena or Miz in order to keep that feud going. Alberto Del ...

As you all know, Edge is now retired and he will no longer grace the fans with his presence in the ring. When we think about him, it's natural to think about the WWE Hall Of Fame.In his case, it's not a matter of "if" but of "when" he will be inducted. There is no doubt he will make it as soon as Vince McMahon thinks it's the best time.But, just in case there is one person on this planet who has any doubt, I made the following slideshow.I have seen a lot of articles about ...

In one of the biggest shockers in wrestling history, one of WWE’s brightest superstars of the last decade announced his retirement in front of a shocked audience this past Monday night on RAW. Adam Copeland, better known to wrestling fans the world over as Edge, told us all that he had wrestled his last match. I am sure most of us thought it was part of some sort of storyline or angle. We kept waiting for some other wrestlers music to hit but it never did. We soon came to see it was all true.Edge was leaving. Begin Slideshow

These are the men and women who put their bodies on the line day after day, week by week, 12 months and 52 weeks a year. These men and women are professional wrestlers. They are the risk takers, the legends, the icons, the gods amongst men. They are more than a man but less than a god.  They bleed, sweat and cried in the squared circle for the fans entertainment and to do the thing they love—wrestle. These men and women are not immortal however, they bleed the same blood, sweat the same sweat and cry the same tears as you and I.  They ...

Now I think this may be one of the more asked questions I've ever received. I get asked questions all the time, a lot of the time it's trivial, and sometimes it's about big events or news in the world of wrestling. But one question asked above all others is, when will John Cena turn heel?It's a bit tough to think that Cena will ever turn from such an over baby face to a hated heel. WWE right now, already has a lot of heels they are either bringing up or have already been. People such as CM Punk, The ...

Thanks to LordsofPain.net for the following. Just thought I'd bring you this tidbit of information which gives us yet a further insight into the mindset of the WWE. I find some of the new regulations laughable and almost embarrassing. WWE has an information sheet titled "The Language of WWE" that they send out to people that do international voice-overs for their TV shows in other countries. The sheet includes a list of "Incorrect Terminology" and a list of "Correct Terminology." "The Language of WWE" reads like this: "World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is a publicly traded entertainment company (NYSE: WWE) that creates and delivers a weekly action ...

In the wake of Edge's retirement, very little emphasis has been placed on R-Truth's placement in the WWE Championship match at the Extreme Rules PPV. In regards to what has been said about his big push, the reaction has not exactly been positive, but it's not hard to see why. R-Truth has in-ring talent, but nothing one could say is that of a deserving talent. For the last two weeks before Raw, he hadn't been on WWE Programming in any sense, it has been even longer since he had appeared on Monday Nights. The only two things that Truth had going for him ...
