A couple of weeks back I tuned in to a Monday night show of TNA Wrestling and was pleasantly surprised with the show that they put on (from a wrestling perspective). I was however kind of shocked when I looked at the roster to see just how many old WWE and WCW guys [...]
So I’m sitting here on a Monday night doing some work and flipping through the channels. Actually that’s not quite true. Normally I tape WWE Raw each and every Monday and get to it throughout the week. Tonight however was a bit different as both the WWE and TNA had programming on tonight that I [...]
Years ago there were three major wrestling organizations out there (professional wrestling that is). The WWE, the WCW and the ECW. These days two out of those three no longer exist as Vince McMahon’s WWE has taken the top spot in the wrestling world. For years we had this concept of the “Monday Night Wars” [...]

This is the first of the WrestleMania DVDs that are broken into 2 parts. In my version it’s a double sided DVD with only a couple of matches on the flip side. There are 16 matches [...]

If you’ve never seen this show before and you’re a fan of modern day WWE stuff the first thing you’ll notice is the production value here absolutely blows. But don’t judge them too harshly. First off, [...]
He is “The Excellence Of Execution”. He is “The best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be”. He is none other than Bret “The Hitman” Hart. I have read quite a few wrestling books in my day and I have to say that this one is definitely at the [...]
WrestleMania 25 is just recently in the books. It wasn’t great but there were a couple of REALLY good matches. WrestleMania weekend for me always means going back and reliving some of those great matches from past events. It’s rare that this list is modified, but thanks to the Dead Man and Mr. [...]
