We’re a few days removed from the 2012 WWE Royal Rumble pay per view. As this is the official start to the Road To WrestleMania (and happens to be my favorite PPV of the year) this is one of the 2 shows per year I get (with Mania obviously being the other). There’s been quite a bit of bad press out there for this show and I really don’t get it. This was a very entertaining PPV from top to bottom.

I don’t do predictions all that often (at least out loud) but I think I’ve got one that’s worthy of sharing. For months now, WWE fans (or at least “smart” fans) have been shouting from the rooftops for John Cena to turn heel.
As we all know, he’s headed into WrestleMania 28 to face The Rock and there’s simply no way in hell that Cena’s going to be the babyface in that match. The WWE has essentially turned John Cena into this generation’s Hulk Hogan. Dude never loses clean, trains like a bad ass, sells merchandise and has… Continue reading
I’ve had the idea for this post for quite a while now and I’m finally getting around to actually writing it. I’m not quite sure where its headed, but I’m guessing it’s going to be a bit of a rant. For those readers that aren’t in the mood to listen to me bitch about what’s wrong with the wrestling feel free to move along.
Still with me? OK… here goes. In no particular order.
You think Hogan looks old here? This was in 2008!
Mandatory Retirement Age
Now before you get your panties in a bunch realize that I’m not… Continue reading
It’s with a heavy heart that I have to say goodbye today to one of my all time favorite wrestlers – The “Macho Man” Randy Savage. Randy (real name Randall Poffo) passed away earlier today after a car accident. Apparently he had a heart attack at the wheel while driving. He was 58 years old.
Randy Savage, best knowing for his time in the WWF with his wife/manager Miss Elizabeth, was one of the best performers in the wrestling business. While he was great as a face (a good guy) I always preferred his work as a heel (a bad… Continue reading
As we have for many years, Pip and I got together (once again this year with my brother Marko) to watch WrestleMania 27 and attempt a great feat… The Beeramid. As always, we had our list of rules to govern the night’s action. We were ready and willing… but were we able?
Let The Games Begin
At this point I don’t think the first beer had even been popped. Truly the faces of the optimistic as we knew (but possibly had forgotten) what lay ahead. Pip took care of our “uniforms” for the evening once again. He’s rocking the Strike… Continue reading
WrestleMania 27 is just a few days away and just as in many previous years there is a “celebrity” on the card. I’ve got celebrity in quotes there cause personally I don’t consider Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi from MTV’s Jersey Shore a celebrity. That said, most of the known universe (and certainly much of the WWE universe) knows who she is so Vince shelled out what I’m sure I’d consider way too much money to bring her to the biggest WWE pay-per-view of the year.
Each year as part of our festivities, Pip and I watch the show, drink a few… Continue reading
These types of lists typically come out at the beginning of the year. I’m all for giving convention the middle finger so I’m doing it in the day after St. Patrick’s Day. Got a problem with that? Part of why I keep this blog is as some sort of “outlet” for my creative juices. Another is that in this day and age this is about the only “cool” way for a guy to keep a diary. I go back and often and read stuff that I’ve written in the past so these types of lists I get a real… Continue reading
We’re smack dab in the middle of the Road To WrestleMania. Ever since the Royal Rumble in January, the WWE has kicked it into high gear getting ready for their flagship show. I have to say that going into the Rumble I wasn’t overly optimistic about this year’s show. With the exception of Taker/Shawn I really can’t remember much from last year’s Mania other than to say that it was better than an average Mania. (Here are my thoughts on WrestleMania 26)
As in previous years, Pip and I started out early creating our WrestleMania 27 drinking… Continue reading
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 were there. I suppose in retrospect this really should surprise me as there simply aren’t that many big time wrestling promotions available for the top guys. If the WWE doesn’t want you and you want to stay in the business then you’ve only got a couple of… Continue reading
So Vince McMahon went on Monday Night Raw the other night and stated that Bret Hart would never be seen in the WWE again. This of course means that we will DEFINITELY see Bret Hart in the WWE again and I’m thinking that will happen very soon. Sounds to me like they’re setting up a Bret vs. Vince WrestleMania match for WrestleMania XXVI (75 days from today!!!)
I have to say that I’ll be incredibly let down if they DON’T pay off this angle. I’m not saying that I need to see a WrestleMania match, but it would be positively… Continue reading
