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 [...]
