What Kind of Impact Will Bret Hart Have in the WWE?
On December - 23 - 2009ADD COMMENTS
As we all know by now, Bret Hart has signed a four-month performance contract with WWE. This most likely means he will be involved with Wrestlemania in some way.
The thing people seem to think is most likely is Bret having some kind of Wrestlemania appearance with Vince McMahon, whether a match between them or a match where they pick representatives.
With the WWE pushing a lot of its younger talent these days I could see the Hart Dynasty being involved with this in some way. Perhaps Vince will have them turn on Bret and Bret will have to choose a team ...

Wrestling’s 10 Best Hidden Gems of the Decade
On December - 23 - 2009ADD COMMENTS
Another decade, another crop of matches that don't get their share. For every Hogan/Andre bout that drew $X billions of dollars (depending on who's telling the story), there's always a better Steamboat/Savage match lurking in the undercard.
With that in mind, it's time to go throug the top "hidden gems" from the past decade, with hopes of exposing fans to matches they'd never seen, and giving me the excuse to watch all these bad boys again.
While many of the matches on this list aren't superior to the matches that took home "Match of the Year" honors, they are nonetheless as ...
The Sad Story of the NWA (National Wrestling Aliiance)
On December - 22 - 2009ADD COMMENTS
For any wrestling fans who have been around awhile, the initials N.W.A. carry great meaning. The NWA at one time was the largest wrestling company in the World, now they are only a blip on the wrestling world's radar.
The NWA started out as a Governing body for all regional wrestling promoters involved. Basically they divided up the US, Canada and Japan into sections, where each section was run by a different promotion. They were called territories.
The main advantage of this was that the promotions could lean on each other if another company tried to encroach on their territory. They did ...

Note:This is unofficial as Shane has already put up the voting. I was told I could've put it up on Tuesday, but whatever.
"The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be" is a slogan that Bret Hart went around with while wrestling in the WWF.
The rise and fall of Bret Hart was well documented. The fall was of course, the Montreal Screwjob. The rise? Well, let's get into that now.
Discovering Wrestling
For Bret, it all started in his dad's promotion of Stampede Wrestling. At that point, Hart said that he did not at all see ...
Crunching the Numbers: A Look At WWE Programming in General
On December - 22 - 2009ADD COMMENTS
WWE is by far the largest wrestling company in the world. They have performed in dozens of countries around the globe, maybe over 100, and remains the most sought-after employer by anyone who wrestles.
WWE has been a giant in the entertainment industry for decades, beginning as WWF back when Vince Sr. was in charge of the company. Since Vince Jr. bought his father's company, he has turned it into an entirely different beast.
Since WWE began being the only game in town, they have been adding new programming to their schedule. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a ...
All I Want For Christmas Is a Matt Hardy Push
On December - 22 - 2009ADD COMMENTS
This Christmas, as I write my letter to Santa, there's one thing I want above all else: A Matt Hardy push. For all those who don't believe in Santa, guess what I wished for last year ?
Matt Hardy is one of the most talented and recognizable wrestlers in the world today. He's done virtually everything Professional Wrestling has to offer, creating an impressive résumé most wrestlers couldn't even dream of.
He broke into the WWE as a jobber when he was 18 years old, earning an official WWE contract 4 years later in 1998. Back then, pushes weren't just handed out ...
Quick Looks: A Look Back at the Departing Sheik Abdul Bashir
On December - 22 - 2009ADD COMMENTS
As we know, Sheik Abdul Bashir was the unfortunate recipient of the “Fired” case during the “Feast or Fired” match at Final Resolution this past Sunday. His TNA contract was immediately terminated at the end of that match.
Some out there may wonder in a match like this if such firings are simply short term storyline exits or if they are completely legitimate firings. In the case of the Sheik, this departure is legitimate. He spent a part of his time Sunday evening before the event saying goodbye to fellow colleagues.
We remember Shawn Daivari (his real name) making his first prominent ...
