Hmm. See the way I see it, Miz was the right guy at the right time. WWE was building up for a big Cena/Rock confrontation, and they needed someone to be the third wheel who was still good enough on promos to draw attention to himself from time to time. Miz was that guy. I don't think this was by...

You know what the real problem with these gimmick PPV's is? The names. Naming a PPV after the gimmick match is just dull. Money in the Bank and TLC are fine because the first is actually a good PPV name and I can't think of anything better than TLC for TLC. Maybe something along the line of...

Alright, because this won't die, I'm going to get involved. I'm going to regret it but whatever. I come from the theater world. I've done enough improv theater to have been put in various somewhat embarrassing situations. And you know what, that was fine. Because the people I was working with...

Not necessarily. Of course the Royal Rumble is a gimmick match, but I don't think you were referring to that. The Same goes for Survivor Series. The Elimination Chamber match should have it's own PPV. Other than going back to the old name of "No Way Out" I have no problem with that PPV...

Quick note, as far as I know, while Hogan has influence within TNA, I don't think he has any actual booking authority. JR…is not really a booker. He has experience in Talent Relations, but I gather Vince wasn't terribly pleased with his run there. That could be a difference in vision for...

January 2011 Pay Per View: Royal Rumble Title Changes and other Notable events Kofi Kingston defeats Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship (Aired January 7th, 2011 on Smackdown) Eve Torres defeats Natayla (c), Layla and Michelle McCool for the WWE Diva’s Championship...

This seems like the right thread to bring this up in. So if you guys saw Smackdown tonight, Josh Matthews of all people was acting a little heelish at the end. That point was a Ryback/Chris Jericho match. Over the course of the match, Josh Matthews acted like a very strong supporter of...

So since no one has done the May 8th edition: WWE Main Event May 8th, 2013 Randy Orton vs. Antonio Cesaro: I was really looking forward to this match. I knew Randy was going to win, but I figured Orton and Cesaro would put on a good match together. So, it's fair to say that I was a little...

There was a period starting with the breakup of Legacy around Mania where Randy was getting the biggest pops of the night every night. That was pretty much what got him the WWE Championship. He still ended up playing second fiddle to Cena as WWE Champion during the Nexus angle. And no, he never...

Hello. So this is somewhat ambitious, and I'm well aware of that. 2011 was one of the most memorable years for WWE in recent history. I'm going to take a look back at it and try and figure out if anything was actually accomplished in 2011 for the long term (by which I mean the year since)...

Daniel Bryan, at least as far as WWE is concerned, comes to mind. I mean, people pretty much assumed when he was signed that he would be buried by everyone under the sun. He was small, an independent wrestler, and not very young. And his early booking on NXT seemed to almost confirm that. Mr...

WWE Championship: For now, leave it on Cena. Give him another month or so with the title. The next guy to hold it should be Ryback, but I can almost guarantee you it won't. In fact, I'd put money (actually, no I wouldn't) on it being Punk or a heel Orton. World Heavyweight: Leave it on Ziggler...

A few points... I'm honestly not sure why you put this at the top seeing as you didn't say anything all that controversial. Although you did get Mack Swagger upset so…good for you? To a certain extent I agree with you. To a certain extent. Superstars probably has no relevance anymore...

Is the series a building block for a new talent to break out? Too early to say. It's entirely possible, but looking at the current leaderboard, the top 8 wrestlers are all former world champions. The top competitor who is not a former word champion is Daniels, and he's already wrestled his last...

Santino Marella vs. Antonio Cesaro: A comedy match. Which is a problem because Cesaro is not very funny, leaving it to Santino to do all the funny stuff. The stuff with the cobra puppet insulted my intelligence. What, Santino can't do the cobra without his sock puppet. Santino is a very good...
