The repercussions of the RKO heard around the world could be seen in full force by the audience gathered at the Bradley Center for WWE‘s Elimination Chamber PPV event this past Sunday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. While I still believe that Randy Orton will be competing in a triple threat match against World Heavyweight Champion Daniel [...]
I have been dreading this moment ever since the I started writing these blogs. I knew that at some point down the road I would have to be forced to merge the words WWF, Heavyweight, Intercontinental, The, Ultimate, and Warrior into one terribly painful sentence. WrestleMania VI has been popping its head over the horizon [...]
Like WrestleMania IV a year earlier, WrestleMania V took place from Boardwalk Hall (once again being billed as Trump Plaza thanks to The Donald) in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Once again the audience was sold out, and once again “Macho Man” Randy Savage was in the main event. At this point Savage had been WWF [...]
Before we start any sort of discussion, let’s please send some good vibes the way of Jesse Sorensen who took a nasty shot to the head Sunday night from Zema Ion. Sorensen spent Sunday night in ICU according to reports, and as of Monday afternoon he was starting to move his arms again. Dixie Carter [...]
By the time WrestleMania IV rolled around in 1988 the WWF had hit a point in its history that it had never encountered before. For the past 25 years the WWF Championship was the gold standard in the McMahon Family promotion. Men like Bruno Sammartino, Billy Graham, Pedro Morales, Bob Backlund, and Hulk Hogan had [...]
And so we have arrived at a most monumental moment in the history of professional wrestling. Before we dive into the legacy of WrestleMania III, I must quick apologize for the amount of time between now and my WrestleMania 2 write up. I was in fact too enamored with my New York Football Giants winning [...]
After the success of WrestleMania I, Vince McMahon was now faced with the daunting challenge of following up his masterpiece, with yet another fantastic supercard. A little over a year later on April 7, 1986, McMahon and the WWF put on WrestleMania 2. In a move to try and up the ante from a year [...]
So in light of Kendra Bunyon’s recent Royal Rumble series, I have decided to do something along the same lines with WrestleMania. The premier event in professional wrestling deserves the spotlight this time of year, and with so many great pro wrestling memories revolving around the Spring Classic I feel it is time to wake [...]
I hate when WWE does this. Sheamus, who is one of my favorite active wrestlers in WWE wins the Royal Rumble, and I just can’t be happy about it. It’s not Sheamus’ fault that I am not happy a Frontman, but more so the fact that WWE really dropped the ball on the Rumble this [...]
NEW THINK TANK QUESTION “It’s 1988 in the WWF. Randy Savage is the WWF Champion, and Hulkamania is still runnin’ wild. With that in mind my last Think Tank question before the Professor returns to the pulpit is quite simple. Who was the greater wrestler during this era, Savage or Hogan?” PREVIOUS THINK TANK QUESTION [...]
NEW THINK TANK QUESTION “Today’s question is simple. The Royal Rumble is this Sunday. Who ya got winning the Rumble?” PREVIOUS THINK TANK QUESTION “It’s Royal Rumble Week in the WWE, which means the second biggest night of the year for WWE is upon us. The Rumble will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary this Sunday, [...]
NEW THINK TANK QUESTION It’s Royal Rumble Week in the WWE, which means the second biggest night of the year for WWE is upon us. The Rumble will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary this Sunday, so I want to hear. What is/are your favorite Rumble memories of all time? PREVIOUS THINK TANK QUESTION “Professional wrestling [...]
NEW THINK TANK QUESTION “Professional wrestling has given us many announce teams over the years. My question to you; Who is your favorite announce team in the history of the industry? Discuss.” PREVIOUS THINK TANK QUESTION “Jeff Hardy has quickly been elevated back to the top of TNA, even after the Victory Road Incident in [...]
NEW THINK TANK QUESTION “Jeff Hardy has quickly been elevated back to the top of TNA, even after the Victory Road Incident in March of last year. Does Jeff deserve the monster push he has been getting as the top face of TNA? Also, what does Hardy’s push say for TNA as a wrestling promotion? [...]
NEW THINK TANK QUESTION “WrestleMania XXX is in two years, and the classic WWE tradition has been to hold Mania at Madison Square Garden every ten years. Should WWE keep that tradition alive, or should they keep with the recent trend and hold WrestleMania XXX at a football stadium? Discuss.” PREVIOUS THINK TANK QUESTION “Some [...]
Before I even get started on the WWE year end blog, I have to say a quick word about a great man. A man who has been living what I deem a fantasy life for just about all of his existence. A man who when he’s not busy being awesome in a professional wrestling ring [...]
It’s a new year for TNA and with the new year, the Frontman has decided to make some resolutions regarding TNA this year. First off I am going to learn to accept to take the bad with the good in TNA. For example, at Genesis I was happy that Jeff Hardy didn’t leave as World [...]
Greetings to all those in the IWC, as I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas/Hanukkah, and a phenomenal New Year’s. I for one had a fantastic holiday that was headlined, by a house rocking performance at the Stone Pony by Stolen Rhodes (SHAMELESS PLUG: Our new album Falling Off The Edge is available in [...]
So I realized that I have never named this blog. As I was driving home tonight and piecing my thoughts on the WWE landscape, the thought about my nameless blog hit me. So I started brainstorming cool wrestling terms, and one of the first ones to come to my mind was DDT. The DDT of [...]
Why is it that after every TNA/Impact Wrestling PPV that I watch, I always find myself asking “Why TNA?…Why?” Why do you continually waste some of the best pure talent in the world with the worst booking that I have seen since the demise of WCW. Do you book this way so Eric Bischoff and [...]
