WWE Superstar of the Week: Feb.13 to Feb.19
On February - 18 - 2011ADD COMMENTS
With Elimination Chamber this Sunday, the WWE gave its viewers two huge shows. On Raw, The Rock returned to host Wrestlemania while Smackdown celebrated its 600th episode. Both brands gave me a superstar to consider for the Superstar of the Week.
The Miz gets my attention as Raw's Superstar of the Week contender. Miz defeated the United States Champion Daniel Bryan on Raw. This was a very good match where Miz showed what he could do in the ring. On Smackdown, The Miz also showcased his skills. Miz defeated the Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston with a little help from the distraction ...

On February - 18 - 2011ADD COMMENTS
I would like to thank all of my fellow Bleachers! This is my first official article as a Senior Analyst and without your comments, reads, and likes I wouldn’t have been promoted. I intend to show my gratitude with two non-biased articles pertaining to WrestleMania. His name is Alberto Del Rio but you already knew that. During the summer of 2010, multiple vignettes aired hyping the debut of this Hispanic Superstar. We knew him as Dos Caras Jr., son of the legendary Dos Caras Sr. and an established star from Mexico. Upon his debut, Del Rio made an immediate impact. ...

WWE: The Rock Has Come Back, But Are The Legends Back To Save The WWE?
On February - 18 - 2011ADD COMMENTS
Before you click the "back" button, this isn't just another article about The Rock's return to the WWE, it's a little deeper than that.
Before I go any further, let me opine about his appearance on Monday Night RAW.
It was quite easily the best promo of the PG Era by a long way; a promo clinic given by a master at the top of his game, as a good as any he's given in his career. Other wrestlers could learn a lot from him.
Which brings me to my main point. We're less than two months into 2011 and we've seen the return ...
