Monday Night Wars II: 1995 Never Changes
On March - 10 - 2010ADD COMMENTS
In 15 years, a lot of things can and should change.
Fifteen years ago, I wore my favorite Doors shirt underneath my trusty black and white flannel shirt to Chicago Ridge Mall in the vague hope of talking to girls by looking vaguely broody.
Of course I no longer do this. I would look ridiculous in my late 20s creeping around a mall in outdated clothes. If I can learn this lesson, why can't TNA?
See, back in 1995, this whole Monday Night Wars thing started in a mall as well. Let me situate the wrestling scene in 1995.
It was an era where ...

5. Shawn Michaels vs. Brian Danielson
Do I really need to say anything about this match? The best Wrestlemania performer of all time against the best wrestler in the world? Hello?
Remember Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania XXI? Wish to see a better match? Book the two of them!!!
Enough said.
4. Shawn Michaels vs. John Morrison
Mr. Wrestlemania vs. The Next Shawn Michaels, wow!!! Since I believe nothing is needed to be stated about Shawn Michaels, let's take a look at JoMo. Ever since his draft to SD!, he has been nothing but bliss.
His matches with Jericho & Edge rpoved how he ...
The Undertaker’s 10 Worst Matches of All Time
On March - 10 - 2010ADD COMMENTS
The Undertaker, no one can doubt his magic on the ring. From the past to the present, he has seen the best, fought the best and beaten the best. So many legacies and classics left by him. He is a legend on his own. And honestly, he is the only reason I watch WWE. When he retires from WWE, I'll stop watching.
But it is also a reality there are some opponents he couldn't carry into those classics and brought them to horrible matches. I'm not trying to disrespect The Deadman, but let's face it, he does have horrible matches ...
Is TNA Taking Advantage of WWE’s PG Rating?
On March - 9 - 2010ADD COMMENTS
Last night, wrestling fans from all over the world witnessed history as we all saw the rebirth of the Monday night wars.
Both of last night's episodes bring up so much interesting topics, but I'm only going to talk about one that really caught my attention.
Last night on Impact, a few things we saw was swearing and lots of blood.
TNA knows that if they want to beat WWE, they have to find one thing that WWE fans are unhappy about.
WWE's one weakness, and that weakness would be their current PG rating.
Although I think that WWE is much better off with ...
WWE vs. TNA…The Aftermath and What’s to Come?
On March - 9 - 2010ADD COMMENTS
Yesterday marked the beginning of the TNA vs. WWE wrestling wars, and it seemed that TNA pulled out all the stops.
They opened the show with Hulk Hogan and Abyss coming out to a roaring crowd. Abyss with some new ring gear, and a red and yellow A on the back of his shirt.
They called out Flair and Styles and started the match. Which lasted only about three minutes simply because Hogan and Flair couldn't wrestle more than that without having to grab their oxygen tanks.
Then Sting comes out, and once he didn’t hit AJ or Flair right away, you knew ...

Make sure to etch this date permanently into your head. On Mar. 9, 2010, for the first time ever, Ashley Morris penned a short piece for Bleacher Report.
“Gasp!” **cue the dramatic music**
While perusing my usual wrestling sites today, I couldn’t help but to run into fans’ comments about last night’s skirmish between TNA and the WWE.
In case you’ve been living under a rock or in Quinn Gammon’s basement for the past few weeks, the “Monday Night Wars” that fans have been clamoring for have finally returned, as TNA’s iMPACT went live and head to head with the WWE’s live RAW .

Legacy: The Unfortunate Mishandling Of Their Split
On March - 9 - 2010ADD COMMENTS
If you have been watching Raw lately, you have been seeing the demise of the once great stable Legacy.
Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase, once faithful followers of Orton, have rebelled against their teacher and severed their ties with him.
Most saw this break up coming months ago, but I doubt anyone thought that it would end up the way it currently is being handled.
In what I consider shocking, and more than anything odd, Randy Orton seems to be making a baby-face turn.
Now, if you were calling that, then kudos to you, because I don't think anyone saw that one coming.
With Orton ...
TNA Almost Got It Right
On March - 9 - 2010ADD COMMENTS
You can't help but root for TNA. It is the classic underdog story. A little company started out of Nashville with next to nothing eight years ago has made incredible strides in its short existence.
Last night marked the pinnacle for TNA. Everything they had worked so hard for would be tested in the first real battle with the WWE. At the end of the night, TNA showed they can compete, but they need to avoid making the same mistakes that will undermine the progress they have made.
Last night's Impact had a different feel to it. It had a real, gritty ...
WrestleMania Matches Which Should Have Not Been
On March - 9 - 2010ADD COMMENTS
This article is about those matches occurring at a WrestleMania which should have been on a different Pay Per View, RAW, Heat, Superstars, or a house show. These were garbage time matches and even a few main events which did not make sense or a better match was available.
Some matches were Main Events and others were just plain stupid, but I will try and find a suitable replacement. Begin Slideshow
TNA Comes Out Swinging
On March - 9 - 2010ADD COMMENTS
It's amazing what one episode can do for wrestling. After the hype that surrounded the Jan. 4 episode of Impact, what followed in the weeks leading up to TNA's permanent debut on Monday's starting tonight on March 8 was somewhat underwhelming.
Indeed, if you read other articles on Bleacher Report regarding this Monday's night's Impact, you would've seen phrases like "blown surprises" and "low morale."
Well, as someone who watched this event from start to finish, let me be the first person on here to say that this Impact, as a snap shot in the time line of this company, will go down as ...
