I always wonder what WWE would have called Hogan, Flair, Savage and co if the IP structure is what it is today. Hulk Hogan was an AWA thing and Vince wouldn't let him use the name so... Terry Ferrigno maybe? Hero's new name is horrible. There is such a huge post-nWo fear that this whole new...

I guess the likes of Pillman don't count: there was never a chance to see him peak. Bam Bam Bigelow. He main evented WM11 but he could have been booked to do so much more. Instead of being stuck in the late WCW quicksand or fueding with Doink The Clown, someone should have noticed that having...

One thing I think they need to look at is why they are not picking up more business, despite being the hottest they have in years. Jericho, Punk in the summer, The Rock returning, Cena changing his character up a bit, better wrestling by future stars like Dragon, Sheamus and Ziggler, internet...

COLE COLE COLE COLE COLE COLE He has to go. He just pulls down any good work anyone does. No-one has a perfect match when he is commentating. Potentially great matches are just good, potentially good matches are bad and so on. You can talk about the many problems involved throughout the...

I miss incredible technical wrestling. I think WWE pushes guys towards the same moveset and everyone's matches are so similar that you can't really pick them from a crowd. Not even at WM for some guys. On the other hand, when I was suffering from insomnia as of late, I had been typing...

Mike Bennett is still very green. Punk, Claudio, DBD etc. had done all they could in their divisions and made names for themselves. The Prodigy will most probably one day make the step up, but I think WWE know it'll be smarter to let him learn for a while on the outside. I think Roddy is going...

If every wrestler with a messed up family situation wasn't allowed in the HOF or was to be kicked out, there would only be about 4 guys left in it and about 12 more left eligible.

Have Punk fly off after MITB. Get him to do things like go to indie shows w/ Cabana, make his twitter page worth following (and thus making anyone he tweets worth following, and thus making WWE twitter a sensation). Then get him showing up at ROH to challange the champion, whether it was Davey...

Taz shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the game, snitch. 1. Cornette. Greatest booker in the game. 2. Dirty Dutch Mantell. Greatest talent scout in the game. 3. Umm, why would you need any more? ROH is run by two people, many many more promotions in the past have been run by two people. 4. I...

Monster heels usually have a limited time frame in any wrestling promotions and only Undertaker and Abby really disprove a theory of longevity. Yoko had long left the main event scene and once that happens, his impact was nullified. It didn't help that his character couldn't speak English...

I think considering how hard peoples lives are at the moment, seeing a guy force the issue and make a name for himself is quite an inspiring story. I don't particularly care for Zach Ryder as a wrestler or a gimmick and I don't watch his show or chant his name. I have watched many years of guys...

The majority of sources say that Warrior had a defined contract and was paid by it, until SS91, in which he threatened to no-show unless he was paid double the amount promised for PPV appearances in his contract. Having already promoted the match, Vince paid up and then fired him immediately...

You bring up an interesting point about not getting paid for the 90 day notice. The 90 day notice essentially says that 'you still work for us and may be used by us but not our competitors'. However, in an industry where pay is performance based, to be served warning that you will intentionally...

A working contract in most industry is to allow you to do your job until you serve notice, either to do a different job, get promoted or retire, till a set date the contract will end (also known as a temporary contract) or until you breach that contract or convince your employer that you should...

If ever there was a chance it was tonight. Hell, if ever there was a chance to do ANYTHING, it was tonight. But instead we see Miz and Truth beat by AN ELBOW THAT HASN'T BEEN USED FOR SIX YEARS. AND THEN CENA MADE TO LOOK A CHUMP. Why? Seriously, it makes me so dissatisfied to watch what...
