    Sami Callihan & Eddie Edwards? Who Is Right?

    Controversy has reared it's head again with the one time NXT guy smashing a baseball bat into Eddie Edward's face, nearly killing him and smashing bones in his face. Since then Sami seems to be embracing it and playing up to it, much to the annoyance of many fans and fellow talent. He seems...

    Going Global...If You'll Pay...

    So WWE seem to be properly "going global" with massive events in Australia and Saudi Arabia now planned. It opens an interesting question and sheds some light on perhaps why we haven't had that UK PPV. The Australia show is at the MCG which is a huge venue, operated by the Melbourne Cricket...

    Neville Asks to Leave WWE?

    Wow, stunned but at the same time totally understand if this is the case... From his perspective, he's held 205 for a while, done well, got kudos for his personal improvement and being one of the better things WWE is putting out. Then suddenly, not only is he "out" as Crusier champ but...

    Wrestling Urban Myths: Did Shawn Michaels Inherit Millions From A Fan?

    I came across this again recently and think it's one of the more fascinating tales of wrestling lore. There are no hard facts out there seemingly, but it was initially reported around 1996 by Meltzer that Shawn Michaels had inherited around £2.5m dollars from a fan of his that he'd never met...

    Is Cost Cutting Driving WWE Decisions?

    Meltzer is at it again... this time however, his report that WWE is worried about its profits for this year, after promising stellar numbers after last year actually seems to be somewhat accurate. With talk of a new re-distribution of talent, shows being cancelled and production values on...

    Owen & Austin: Reopening Old Wounds

    It's interesting to read that Steve Austin's ex-wife Jeannie Clarke has been talking about the Owen Hart situation and claims that Austin not only refused to attend Owen's funeral but also believed he may have DELIBERATELY injured him at the time. While Clarke has been out of the business for...

    The WWE Champions Video: A Thaw In Relations?

    WWE.Com recently posted a video celebrating 50 WWE Champions, with Jinder being the 50th guy to lift it (not sure if that's an honour or not) and featuring all their WWE Champs... Yes... ALL including acknowledging/showing CM Punk for the first time in nearly 5 years on a new piece of WWE...

    Who Comes Back After HOF 2017?

    This year was actually a very strong HOF show all told... and it brought back some faces we'd not seen in some time...all of whom could probably do something in the WWE now. It's pushing it perhaps for The Rock N Roll Express to come back to the ring, but a role in NXT/working with tag teams to...

    Was Rock Out Of Line Calling Punk?

    Most people have now seen the video of The Rock calling CM Punk from The Staples Centre on Monday after RAW. It seems to have gotten him a certain amount of heat, even if the fans think it was pretty cool. But bearing in mind there are still active lawsuits going on, and Rock would have known...

    World Of Sport Return

    Well they managed it, wrestling back on primetime TV in the UK under the classic World of Sport brand. They had JR which worked well and some good matches, defo family friendly stuff but on the whole I can see why WWE were worried enough to try and create their own competition for it...

    Shelton Benjamin

    So... Teddy wasn't talking total horseshit eh MVP? WWE is now advertising that Shelton will indeed be returning to Smackdown in the not too distant future across all their media channels. I for one will be glad to see him back, he was always an exciting talent that suffered only for the...

    An Interesting Crossover...

    I just saw that NXT is now going to be part of the Download Festival in the UK this June. Download is what used to be "Monsters Of Rock" and this year is headlined by Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath & Rammstein. This is a pretty interesting move for WWE and NXT as a brand, sending them over to...

    Should Vince Go All Out To Sign This Guy?

    Despite this weekend's result, there is no guy hotter in the mainstream right now than Connor McGregor. His trash talking persona, lack of apology for enjoying success, hard hitting style and humble manner in defeat have made him the perfect candidate to take UFC forward... or could that be...

    Shane O' Mac - Art Imitating Life

    So what we've been waiting for for over a year has finally happened, and no one saw it coming... The Money has come back and while the match he's been put in we'll get to in a moment - the most interesting part of Shane's return last night was the interaction with Vince and Steph... Six years...

    The 10 Year Cycle Returns...

    A long time ago, I wrote several articles on the main page about the 10 year cycle... only one seems to have survived and it's here... http://www.wrestlezone.com/editorials/236073-the-hot-topic-spin-cycles In 1985-86, 1995-96 and 2005-2006 there were sea changes in how the wrestling...

    The Hot Topic - Treasure Trove

    Hey everyone, somehow I have randomly managed to come across a load of my old main page articles from Wrestlezone. A couple of these go back to 2004! - and cover some big moments. I thought I'd link to them so some people can go back and look if they like... It's a throwback to a time prior to...

    Austin Is Back Working.... or IS HE?

    By now most of you will have watched the Stone Cold interview with Heyman this past Monday and it was a genuinely great watch. Two old friends shooting the shit, telling some tales out of school and then the mood...changed. Heyman brought up the possibility of Austin v Brock at Mania 32, and...

    Wrestling Isn't Wrestling: Or Could Max Landis Be The Answer?

    I've just spend 25 of the best wrestling minutes of the year watching Max Landis' new "mockumentary" called Wrestling Isn't Wrestling... you've probably heard about it by now and it's been all over WZ this week. If you've not seen it and want to before you read on, the link is here... it is an...

    Hugh Morrus: The Fallout Is Not Funny

    Ok, the scandal is dying down or not as the case may be but we can now say Bill DeMott has left the WWE and his role as NXT Head Coach. JR has just put a very unfortunate blog post up that really and truly shows that he has little grasp of the situation, or that he like many of the Old...

    Are We All Too Harsh On Kurt Angle?

    I just randomly watched Foxcatcher and then came across Tenay's interview with Kurt Angle on the WZ site and it was pretty fascinating to see them so close together. Kurt has over the years been somewhat of a "troubled soul" and has been slated at various points due to his problems with...
