I think that the plan at the start of the year was to stretch out the Daniel Wyatt storyline all the way up until the weeks leading up to Mania and then have it culminate in Bryan vs Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania. Since Bryan wasn't getting the heat WWE expected and he was still getting beloved...

In terms of importance to the company, the best moment for TNA is a tie between the debuts of Christian Cage and Kurt Angle. Of course, acquiring Angle was what put TNA on the map (until they fucked that up in the later years), but Christian was the first major name to come to TNA. Say what you...

I started to make this assumption months ago, but after seeing the Sheamus vs Cesaro match from last Monday night, I'm inclined to say "yes" to such a question. In that match, it started off just the right pace and from the sounds of it, the crowd was loving it at first. Then, before it...

First of all, you have to understand that Roman Reigns is being built up as The Next Big Thing. Possibly the next face of the company. He has to look impressive in singles matches so fans can see him as a threat. You know what's impressive? Making quick work out of guys like Mark Henry without...

As we all know, a gimmick in pro wrestling can either make or break a wrestler, but what we don't often consider is how importance the time that said wrestler debuts that gimmick makes. If Hulk Hogan debuted this week opposed to the 80's, he'd either get booed quickly or get as polarizing of a...

The most logical thing, story wise, would be just to give it to Kane as Stephanie's way to award him for taking out the B+ player and "ending his career", but I'm not too thrilled to see Kane with another run with the belt. Kane's character has been fucked up so many times, I stopped seeing him...

Personally, I say Nash ending Goldberg's streak was worse. In the case of Brock being the 1 in 21-1, I'm ok with it for a number of reasons. One being that the shock that came from that match reminded me why I enjoy watching wrestling to begin with. The fact that literally anything can...

At WrestleMania XXX, it was pretty obvious that WWE went through high lengths to make sure all of their superstars were involved; what with having the 31 Man Battle Royal and the Divas Invitational. Now, you get two problems with matches like these: ONE, with all those bodies in one ring with...

A thought came to mind last night during the Los Matadores/3MB segment... Some people still hope that one day, Drew McIntyre would go back to being a serious wrestler instead of being confined to a comedy act, yet people look at Santino Marella as someone who will always be nothing more than...

While I'd prefer The Wyatt Family stay as a trio and I'd rather see just how much heat Bo Dallas can garner with his Bo-Lieve gimmick (he got so much heat in NxT that I can see him being a top heel mid carder and he plays off the role so well that I wanna see how it holds up to bigger crowds)...

The same thing came to mind while I was watching too. The whole thing kinda reminded me of when Bret Hart turned heel back in 97 because to him, the fans turned their backs on him since they'd rather cheer for a beer guzzling lunatic like Stone Cold Steve Austin than an upstanding role model...

I haven't seen every WrestleMania, but compared to the ones I've seen, this is definitely up there and I can buy it being looked on as best WrestleMania of all time. I'll have to rewatch some of my favorite Mania's to be for sure and just off memory, the only Manias I'd say were better were 19...

Good question. I say yes for two reasons... One is so a new superstar is able to adapt to the WWE environment and develop their own moveset. More likely than not, most incoming guys who wrestled in other parts of the world for years (say ROH or New Japan for example) can't use their same...

True. It did sort of stain Daniel Bryan's crowning moment because the crowd was still reeling from The Streak ending. Though I think The Streak ending sort of helped make the main event a little more unpredictable. Going in, most people were sure either Batista or (more likely) Daniel Bryan...

I just felt the need to put in my two cents about what is easily the most shocking thing to happen in wrestling. It seems like everybody is so devastated by the whole thing that not many people can look on the bright side of things. And believe me, there are a couple pros to this situation...
