I think the thing people are failing to take into account is that although there are seven months until Mania, they basically have four months to groom him to be a legitimate contender to win the Rumble. He needs to be ending December with enough momentum that people pay attention when his...

My major pet peeve about this PPV is that there was all of this drama about establishing who the real champion was between Cena and Punk, Cena had his foot on the rope, and del Rio cashed in moments later. Effectively, nothing was accomplished. Declaring the "Undisputed WWE Champion" was done...

While I didn't want Cena to win the title, if the plan has always been Brock winning the it at SummerSlam, Cena was the only option. It's too soon for Reigns, Wyatt or Cesaro, and they are the only ones who could get a babyface reaction out of the group that was in this match. Now, if they go...

My comparison has always been that if Piper and Pilman had a child, it would be Dean Ambrose. I think we're all sad that the Shield has dissolved, but I think the crazy, "Jon Moxley" part of his character that made him so successful was held in check by being part of a stable with three dominant...

As much as I loathe the prospect of Orton as champion again, I think he wins it at MITB after Reigns gets pushed off the ladder by Rollins and/or HHH, thus allowing "HHH's guy" to win. The long-term plan has supposedly been for Bryan to have the title again by the end of the year, and it would...

Honestly, I have never liked her. She has zero presence in the ring, is a very sloppy worker, does the same moves repeatedly with little variation, and until the past three weeks has shown no personality. I've found the recent "crazy" outbursts annoying and when it was rumored that she quit, I...

I feel like Reigns beating "the guy who broke The Streak" and playing that up ad nauseum will be a great accolade for someone they want to be the next in line for the top spot. With speculation that Lesnar might have the title by that point, there would be few better ways to put the belt on...

If this does indeed keep Punk away from WM, work or not, the only way for them to salvage the entire thing if they still intend for Bryan to take Punk's place against HHH--and by that I mean not having WrestleMania XXX be remembered as the one where fans shat all over what is supposedly "the...

See, I think this is actually a colossal mistake. The AJ/Kaitlyn feud has been the most compelling thing in recent memory as far as the Divas division is concerned, but AJ needs her next contender. It would have made perfect sense for Layla, who has been Kaitlyn's best friend for some months...

Very sad news. I met him at Survivor Series 1993, when I was 10 years old. My dad's cousin, then a WWF employee, let me go backstage before the event. I was standing in the entrance way in front of the curtain, when he came out, in character, and told me he had a coffin waiting for me. I will...

People have mentioned a few reasons why it was not appropriate to say, but to address the reason why a rape joke is more severe is because of the population it targets. People of different races, sexualities and genders have voices to defend themselves, and can retaliate en masse. One in five...

Not to completely derail the post, but I feel that this is worth saying. First of all, it has never been confirmed that both of his suspensions were due to that. The issue of his two Wellness Policy violations isn't a matter of "synthetic"/alternative marijuana being legal, or anyone's opinion...

Nothing else to add to the news aspect of the threat, but I gotta say, Christian sold the shit out of that beating. Props to him for making the spot look as good as it did.

What they should do with him is wish him well in his future endeavors. Dare I say it, Mason Ryan is better in the ring than Otunga is. I can't recall an Otunga match that wasn't cringe-worthy. It baffles me when people claim that Otunga is good on the mic. He sounds like a kid in a high school...

I didn't see a thread about this elsewhere, but believe it to be a topic worthy of discussion. Looking around the 'net, a lot of people are upset about the whole Punk/Jericho angle from last night's Raw. Here is where I stand: It's wrestling. There are scripted angles, and when things get...
