As much as I would love for Sting to come to the WWE, and receive the big-time respect and possible sendoff he deserves, it's kind of hard to tell at this point. His "legend" status has kind of worn off in TNA, through no fault of his own however-just crappy booking and lack of the proper...

To be honest, I do applaud Sabin turning heel, as it provides a somewhat fresh outlook on his stale character. He was never really "over" when he returned from injury and won the World Heavyweight Championship...it felt rushed and just made the X Division title look weak in the process. Plus, an...

I have to agree with the combination of both of these premises here. King Of The Ring would be perfect for Barrett, much like it helped Sheamus regain some momentum years ago. I think he could still retain the "bare knuckle" thing he has going on, but add a twist of elegance and conceit to it...

No. One. Cares. Any true professional wrestling fan, if they're a total mark or not, could care less about any has-been MMA fighter in a wrestling promotion. I know I personally didn't blink twice when Rampage Jackson was announced as a member of the Main Event Mafia. And no positive...

I have a couple of hypothetical questions: so is Taz's absence a result of the taping schedule? Or is this a permanent situation? I'm personally leaning toward favoring the latter. To be honest, I used to like Taz as a commentator...back in the SmackDown days with (shudder) Michael Cole. His...

TNA sure does love these mysterious video buildup packages, that much is apparent. And while they are a good way to drum up interest for an upcoming show or debuting wrestler (in this case possibly both), history has proven that sometimes these things fall flat for TNA. Hopefully this time the...

I think that Steve Austin's heel run in 2001 was half bad, half good. Bad: It was bad because it felt forced. First, he joined sides with a man (Vince) whom he hated and reviled; we were all witnesses to the hell they put each other through the previous few years. And then all of a sudden we...

It's pretty true that the victor in this match could be either man, and future storylines will work out eventually. I'm looking for Bully Ray to regain the title at some point-maybe not on this night, but before Bound For Glory. Either way, his heat has grown stale with the whole Brooke Hogan...

I personally don't mind the belt, but I'm not a huge fan of it either. I was wondering when exactly the design would be changed, as it had the old TNA logo on it, as well as the six-sided ring design as Hugh G. Rection mentioned. It's good to change up the belts now and then, and the X...

I have one possible scenario that popped in my head, as I watched Impact the other night. Perhaps they could have Magnus ride this huge wave of momentum (leader of the BFG Series, member of the MEM-with personal endorsements from Kurt Angle and Sting) all the way to the finale, say at Impact a...

I think one of the best free-agent signings happened in 2000, when WWE signed the Radicalz (Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, and Perry Saturn). These four were the backbone of WCW, as far as putting on excellent matches and making the most out of their TV time, despite others being...

I think at this point it's safe to say that WWE is more interested in Sting's legacy, than in the actual wrestler. They can produce DVDs, and documentaries, and web shows and lists, and this and that--all praising Sting's legacy...but at the end of the day everyone knows that the living...

That's me from my most recent deployment with the Army, 2010-11.

I have to totally agree. I think rock has declined because of Sly's point, and another... The sudden uprising, or resurgence, of indie/alternative music into the mainstream, and at the same time infiltrating the rock scene. I can't even check the Rock section of Zune Marketplace (not the...

I agree. The energy on St. Anger was unique, and overall I think the record had a great sound. But, like many have said, it's just not the sound people expected from Metallica. They did redeem themselves with Death Magnetic though. Not to everyone, but I think they may have regained a lot of...
