It was the one-time meeting of legends as over 300,000 fans gathered over a two day period in April 1995 in Pyongyang, North Korea as World Championship Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling joined forces for Collision in Korea, with Mike Tenay, Eric Bischoff and Sonny Onoo handling commentary duties.The show began with 2 Cold Scorpio facing Wild Pegasus, otherwise known as he whose name must never be spoken again.An excellent opening encounter between two wrestlers in the prime of their careers. These guys were well suited to each other, and it’s a shame that they weren’t given much longer.Pegasus ...

I'm sure by now many of you have read John Kindelan's fine article about Karen Angle, Kurt Angle's ex-wife, marrying Jeff Jarret.  If not here it is, http://bleacherreport.com/articles/447256-karen-angle-marries-jeff-jarrett. Go check it out. Reading it got me thinking, how many times have we seen a wrestler involve his wife or girlfriend in the business only to lose her; most of the time to another wrestler. It can get cloudy at times given story lines of a "fake" breakup, but this sometimes leads to an actual breakup. Lets run down the list (feel free to add ones I missed in the comments section): Kurt and Karen ...

First off, before I start my article on season three of NXT I would like to congratulate Kaval for winning season two; he well deserved it and I'm happy that all his years of hard work have finally paid off. Now on to the article. WWE announced that season three will be an all-divas contest. This is a smart idea for WWE as they are lacking in the divas division, getting rid of one their top divas in Mickie James and with Beth Phoenix out with an ACL tear. Also the recent letting go of Serena, another female who was a pretty decent ...

In what was supposed to be the next installment of an upstart stable inspired by WWE NXT, building off any residual momentum that may or may not be left from the Nexus stable, the WWE rookies more than stubbed their proverbial toes as WWE NXT: Season 2 went out with a whimper.  What could have been a promising (yet tired) concept played out like a minor league cluster you-know-what on the WWE's minor league show.  From start to finish, the booking of the "Genesis" angle was handled poorly as Michael McGillicutty cut the second of two boring, uninspiring promos that ...

The WWE might have a new problem on their hands. At the end of the finale of NXT Season Two, after it was announced that Kaval was the winner, the eliminated rookies of Season Two attacked. Although it was a confusing brawl, at one point Alex Riley used his finisher on Percy Watson; it ended with Riley, Watson, Husky Harris, Lucky Cannon, Titus O'Niel and Michael McGillicutty standing over a fallen Kaval. I'll get back to that later but first I'll talk about the rest of the show. The final three rookies, Riley, McGillicutty and Kaval had a triple threat match that ...

With another several weeks in the books, WWE’s experimental prototype program appears to be at an apex. NXT Season 2 was easily overshadowed by the decision to book a new faction, the Nexus, entirely comprised of Season 1’s competitors. That said, the quality of participants may have been far greater than we could have expected when they were first announced. After a thorough investigation and three months of programming with an Evil Michael Cole, here now is a more accurate projection of how the rookies would have ranked within any pro wrestling universe. No. 8: Titus O’Neil WWE Pro: Zack Ryder Authentically raw, O’Neil ...

Hey WWE Universe. Last night was epic. Raw started out with a legand to open the show, Bret "the Hitman" Hart. Bret was saying that when he first emerged on the scene, Undertaker was there on hand as well. He continued, by saying "900 episodes and 17 years later, we are still around". Just about then, Smackdown Champion, Kane, came out. As soon as he heard his brother's name, he had to get in the ring and ridicule Taker. He was saying that his brother, as well as Bret Hart, are old and feebled, tattered, and worn out. Kane also commented that the ...

Note:  I'm not actually sending this letter to Vince as he wouldn't ever receive it, nor would he actually read it.  But after watching the 900th episode of RAW last night I needed to get some things off my chest.  So, while Vince may not read it, the B/R peeps will, and they are free to agree or disagree without persecution, unlike working for Vince.  It's a little wordy, so if you're looking for a quick article, this isn't the place.   Dear Mr. McMahon, I have been a wrestling fan, more specifically a WWE fan, since I was 8 years old in ...

Note: For those who are unaware of Ring of Honor, I’m so sorry for your loss.To quote the utterly delightful, Ashley Morris, who once quoted Lance Storm, I’d like to be serious for about two and a half minutes or so.With wrestling pundits and priests everywhere pondering and pontificating about whether unifying titles, neck injuries, career-threatening statements and wacky weddings merit any kind of actual, meaningful discourse, I thought it’s about time we shine a little torch on the promotion that’s established its own place in both the hearts and minds of many a wrestling fan.ROH stands for Ring of ...
