    Justin Roberts And The Hazing Of Talent

    So to prerequisite. I was bore before certain people took offensive to every fart and cough that goes on across the realms of social media/life. I'm currently in the midst of reading Just Roberts book on his time within the walls of the WWE. In it, he talks at length about the troubles he...

    Impact PPV's In The UK

    So as some of you may (or may not) know, the UK is going through quite the wrestling boom at the minute. World Of Sport, NXT UK, Progress, Rev Pro, the list goes on. I've been institutionalised to the 'E' my entire life and have made the decision to give Impact a go as Con Callis is someone...

    Positive Things The WWE Are Doing Well At

    So, in honesty, there is a lot to critique when it comes to WWE's product. This is not one of those threads. This is a thread to champion what they are getting right at this moment across all three brands. It could be anything from a storyline, to a character, whatever it is, I'd like to...

    The Over Exposure Of Stephanie McMahon

    In the grand scheme of things this is purely a rant/open question/debatable topic. I don't post very often as I usually find reading other opinions much more enlightening than my own, but I just feel like after the Rumble this went a tad overkill. Stephanie has spent a lot of time on...

    Booker T's Commentary

    So to my disgust I listened to Russo’s podcast the other day with Stevie Ray. They were discussing Wade Keller’s criticism of Booker T’s commentary last week on RAW, with Keller stating that Booker should read from cue cards etc. Obviously this was for Stevie to go back and criticise Keller...

    The Most Successful Non-WWE Wrestlers To Make It In The WWE?

    Hi all, Not sure if this has been done or if it should be in another part of the forum (apologies in advance), but I was thinking about this this morning. Who is the best/most successful non-WWE built performer to arrive in WWE and build a legacy there? Across the annuals of time...

    Vince Russo's The Brand Podcast

    So, out of curiosity I listened to one of Russo's podcasts. This episode happened to be called 'Castrating The Marks' and it was basically him for an hour going through things that the likes of Meltzer, Alvarez and Wade Keller had said, and basically ratting on them for not knowing the...

    Tye Dillinger - WWE Champion

    I'll pre-text this by saying I'm a Tye Dillinger mark. I love the guy so my opinion will be biased. The question I have is, with Smackdown Live being the 'land of opportunity', with Dillinger's popularity and Vince's lack of handle on the Smackdown brand, could there be a point in the near...

    Did Jeff Jarrett Ever 'Draw A Dime' In The WWF?

    So a few years back I remember watching the Monday Night War DVD that the WWE produced to document their fight with WCW. During the DVD, the one soundbyte that I always remembered was regarding Jeff Jarrett who 'broke a thousand guitars and never drew a dime'. My questions is, do you...

    WWE Trolling: The Fans Or Reigns?

    First and foremost, this is not a 'bash Roman' thread. So none of that here please. I'll get right into it. Roman. Looking at the facts. Aside from the wellness violation which obviously equated to punishment in the form of losing to Balor on Raw and a couple of other high profile losses...

    How Did You Perceive Wrestlers As A Kid?

    So I figured I haven't posted anything like this before. When I was a kid (1980's), wrestling and kayfabe were big things. And because of this (and the fact that I didn't know the 'inside' of the business), I looked at the industry very differently. I guess what I am asking is, how did...

    Media Jobs Within The Wrestling Business

    So, here is the deal. I'm a 32 year old guy. I live in London. Much like many, my job doesn't exactly satisfy and the only passion I have ever really had (aside from a couple of other hobbies) is wrestling. Its my escapism. Now I'm also not stupid. I understand that wrestling is an...

    Michael Cole - Enzo & Big Cass' Debut

    This may come off as a rant, and maybe it is, but I really think that Michael Cole's commentary is hindering a lot of talent right now. Namely, Enzo and Big Cass. They debuted on Raw to easily the biggest reaction of the night, and Michael Cole figuratively shit on them. Sure he ran through...

    Stone Cold Podcast With Vince Russo - Getting Over

    So I just finished listening to the first half of the Stone Cold podcast with Vince Russo. Whilst I will agree that I cringed every time Russo used the word 'bro' to refer to Austin, and the fact that he comes across like he has ADHD, he made some good points. The point that I am...

    Who Has You Excited About The Future Of The WWE?

    This, like many other topics has probably been done before, but the landscape of the WWE is forever changing and so I figured I would pose this question. Who on the payroll, male or female has you excited about the companies future and why? For me, it would have to be Bayley. That age...

    I Was There...

    I figured that this would be a great way to get people talking. Think about a moment in professional wrestling that you were actually present in the crowd for. A moment that you will remember. It doesn't have to even be a 'defining' moment in the annuals of pro wrestling, just something...

    Blood: Favourite Use; Do You Miss It?

    This is obviously a two part question. In the history of pro wrestling, what has been the best use of blood? It could be in a match to tell a story, or on the build to a PPV. Anything you like. My personal favourite use of blood was on the night of WWF Fully Loaded 1999 where 'Stone...

    Favourite And Least Favourite Catchphrases

    Now I am sure that this has probably been done before, but I haven't been on the forums in a while and I figured I would give this one a whirl. Throughout time, the pro wrestling industry has made some truly great performers, and with that, comes their catchphrases. My question is...

    An Open Letter To CM Punk

    The following is an open letter to CM Punk, and is there purely to create and divide opinion on these forums. I know the whole 'CM Punk left' thing has been done to death, but this is a different angle. I apologise in advance to the mods if this is in the wrong place: Unlike a lot of other...

    Was Punk Right?

    Obviously that is open to interpretation but hear me out. In CM Punk's documentary, he touches on Wrestlemania 27, considered to be one of the worst Wrestlemania's in recent memory. I was there in Atlanta, it wasn't terrible, but lets leave it at that. Punk mentions that the fact that...
