Hello, all, and welcome to my first and potentially only edition of the Rundown. Coincidentally, my needs last week were timed just before Mr. Landau’s needs this week, and so I find myself pulling double duty. I’m happy to do it, as although Guy and I have an intercontinental rivalry of words going over April [...]
I’m sorry if I sound like a broken record, but Hogan has been opening his mouth, so I’m going to say something about it. I’m going to take Hogan’s recent antics as further proof that Dixie Carter doesn’t know what the heck she is doing in the business world. Hogan has spent much of the [...]
There’s so much back and forth about Cena’s character – should he turn heel or should his character be tweaked? I know that Cena’s character now, well, up until much of the Kane stuff, was just downright horrid! Something had to be done and hopefully the changes we’ve been seeing in Cena will continue. Honestly, [...]

For all new readers of this feature: This is a relatively new feature on the site, where I run down the week that was in WWE (RAW and Smackdown specifically, and PPVs when applicable), and note events I perceived as positive – or posits (prefaced by a “+”) and negative – or negs (prefaced by [...]
There’s two things I want to address before we get to this week’s show. First off, I was called on ripping up TNA/IW for their formulaic openings and tedious opening videos. Rick, otherwise known as ‘The Professor’ sent me an email with a rant, partially about my abuse of TNA/IW’s opening segments. Professor I wanted [...]
I’m confused. I’m extremely confused. Why in the world do these wrestlers want to shoot themselves in the foot? They’re not only ruining their careers, but burning bridges while they do so. Okay, everyone knows exactly who I am talking about. Evan Bourne (Matt Korklan) has received his second Wellness strike in a very short [...]

RAW: + Kane’s promo was brilliant. I always thought about using an evil psychologist gimmick that reveals the deepest fears and shortcomings of the viewer in this manner, well – Kane took it to a more sadistic and evil place (a bit less truthful place in the process), but he went in the same direction. [...]
Richard posted about Anderson not being around on TNA/IW lately and not listed for the UK Tour. I’ve been wondering about that myself. It came up during the Genesis WNW Live Blog and I’ve wondered since why he’s been gone. I was wearing Anderson’s digital camo A**hole cap, one of my favorite wrestler inspired garments, [...]
Two weeks in a row WNW has been buzzing after RAW. Heck, not just WNW, but the whole IWC for the second week in a row. Whether you’re happy about the decisions WWE has made with wrestlers, their characters and how those characters are portrayed, they have us talking. In my opinion that’s something we [...]

For the 2nd Rundown I bring you a revolution! He is coming. The end begins tonight. Here he is, making his Rundown debut: He is…. No. You know what, before I introduce him, watch his theme & tron to get you excited at this link: Debutee Theme + Titantron Ok, you’ve probably guessed by now [...]
I have to say that TNA/IW was quite interesting to watch in 2011. First off I have to push Dan ‘The Frontman’ Haase’s The DDT: A Year In Review For TNA/Impact Wrestling. http://www.wrestlingnewsworld.com/the-ddt-a-year-in-review-for-tnaimpact-wrestling/ While Haase and I don’t agree on everything wrestling, I do agree with 99% of what he wrote there about TNA/IW. I [...]
I have the feeling that I need to start this Blog with a disclaimer the way ‘The Choice’ Matt Andrews does as I can see this Blog getting people screaming at me. Yes, I took this directly from ‘The Choice’ as it’s so beautifully written. Therefore – This is a Blog, not a news article! [...]
2011 has been a crazy year for me, and probably a lot of people, but it has also been a crazy year in WWE and TNA. I wanted to make this blog to look back of the huge moments in both companies during 2011. With this being the last day of 2011, why not take [...]
Hello everyone, this is the first in a series of weekly articles as a new feature here on the site – Every Monday prior to RAW (excluding this article and pending reader feedback) I will do a rundown (hence the title) of the week that was in the WWE, citing happenings I perceived as positive and [...]

Getting through the holidays is always tough. Even when perfectly healthy, the holidays take a lot out of you. While I know it’s sucky to be sick through the holidays, I can’t imagine what Matt Morgan has been going through. Losing someone close is always a shock, no matter how sick or how long they’ve [...]
I’m not usually one for the ‘holiday season’ as I’ve been sick more often than not the past couple years. My serious health issues of the past couple years (even though I’ve dealt with Crohn’s Disease my entire life) started with me in hospital started Christmas 2009 (luckily my first Christmas in hospital). It was [...]

Even though I got negative comments the last time I did this, I’m doing it again because an amusing idea came up today. Yes, I am doing another interview! Basically I was shooting the bull about wrestling, the HOF, Edge and Flair with Chris Storm (WNW resident bad-boy commenter, yet interesting and creative wrestling fan) [...]
Landscape IV is not going to be about the present state of wrestling in general – that topic got bumped AGAIN. “Come on Guy! You’ve been promising it since Landscape II! It doesn’t matter how awesome and handsome you are, this is inexcusable!” You are right, nonexistent adoring fan, I AM awesome and handsome. In [...]
I had a total blast Sunday night! Between the TLC Live Blog, the interesting Tweets, Rikki coming up with 9-0 on her predictions even though she’s the least manic wrestling fan of the group of us, Rikki winning a signed EY poster, and Gesus’ drunken texts after winning an autographed picture of The Brain while [...]
Ken Sunday the WWE presents TLC from Baltimore, Maryland. I have to admit that I’m really looking forward to this PPV. Many of the matches on the card are both interesting and well built. Even better, it looks as though Cena might not be at the event. Personally I think it’s about time! Nothing against [...]
Opening Thoughts Does anyone remember when the Slammys meant something? Okay, so technically, they didn’t really mean anything, but damnit, Owen Hart sure made them seem like they meant something. Really, the last superstars to make a Slammy mean something was Chris Jericho when he was the Superstars of the Year (2008?). Since then, the [...]
I have to say that going into Final Restitution, I mean Final Resolution, I had high hopes, yet I also had some worries. That card looked solid. Even the Knockouts Match looked as though it could have been good. But then we had to worry about Hogan, Bisch, Russo and even Dixie! None of them [...]
I have to say that I enjoy the Tribute To The Troops as much or more than most of the PPVs through the year. All the wrestlers really seem to throw everything of themselves into this show. I will admit that I’m a bit bummed that the show has been stateside for the second year [...]
I was surprised to read about Cena having a tough month, personally. I think a lot of us forget that these are real people with real lives outside of the WWE (or TNA/IW). What I found really heartwarming was the comments on the WNW page talking about Cena having a hard month. Most people agreed [...]
Opening Thoughts I’m so sorry this is up this late. This will (likely) never happen again, but I’m in the middle of an 11-day straight work marathon. I’m a bit exhausted. At any rate, are we ready? Let’s get to SMACKDOWN! I wonder how Tony Chimel feels… I really like “in-progress” openings to shows. It [...]
Ken This Sunday, December 11, 2011, TNA/IW will present Final Resolution from the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida. While I enjoy TNA/IW PPVs more than most, I prefer when they’re outside the Zone as the crowd there is a bit burnt out. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this PPV will be as good as [...]
I have to start this by thanking Blitz and the Professor. They both stepped up (I specifically asked Richard for Shawn and Rick) this week and took over my work for me. Shawn with my RAW Results and Rick with my RAW Is Blogged. I already knew that they’re both fabulous writers as well huge [...]
I will fully admit that I am thrilled November is over! NaNoWriMo about kicked my bum for the first time ever. I have participated for nine years and completed every year, but this was the hardest. On the other hand, this is the first year that the dawn broke on December first and I wanted [...]
Opening Thoughts I will make it through this. I will make it through this. I will make it through this. I will make it through this. Setting Up For The Show Okay, I can get behind Mick being Santa. Actually, Mick, in his previous life, has proven that he could be a very good Santa. [...]
Watching the #1 Contender Match on SD and a thought came to mind. Bear with me and please debate it with me, but I see a sort of pattern. Both Dusty Rhodes and Ted DiBiase were huge names in their day, but both of their sons have also struggled to prove themselves on their own. [...]
Opening Thoughts Regarding Zack Ryder, I’m hoping the front office is now starting to take notice. I think that after Survivor Series, you can’t ignore him. A year ago or so, John Morrison was getting some major attention from the WWE Universe. Now they boo him because he’s not Ryder. And it’s not just ONE [...]
I’m sitting here after cooking for the better part of the day, after eating turkey, cranberry, lamb, mint jelly, potatoes, squash with cranberries, cranberry bread and drinking some amazing spiced caramel macchiato cider, and have nothing really to say. I love watching wrestling, talking about wrestling, writing about wrestling and cussing at wrestling video games [...]
I have to say that Sunday night, during Survivor Series, was a total blast! The Live Blog was wonderfully interesting without being so overly full that I couldn’t enjoy it. WNW has some of the best readers online! I have to say it’s always possible to tell how good a Match is on a PPV [...]
Landscape III’s topic has changed twice in 20 minutes. The original idea is hinted in the next paragraph (as it’ll probably be Landscape IV). It was changed to my perception of good ring work, with the aforementioned topic being pushed back to Landscape IV, as already stated. So I started writing it, while watching Survivor [...]
Opening Thoughts Okay, let’s get this part out of the way. I’m going to talk a little bit about the fake marijuana death that happened to the thirteen year old. I posted a comment under the original article on the site, but maybe it was too angry to be approved. There were about ten or [...]
