Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns vs. Dean Ambrose. Wrestling fans before the 90's wouldn't know what to make of this feud, would they? Brock Lesnar is a good guy......but how can he be? Sure, people were cheering him even when he was breaking the arm of Triple H and leaving good guys like...

Have to admit Ryback's change in ring gear is impressive. It shows off his great physique and makes him look more dangerous than ever. He had developed a nice little pot belly that was mostly disguised by his singlet; nothing his tremendous size couldn't accommodate, but still something that...

How much did that botched sit-down piledriver Owen performed on Steve Austin at Summerslam '97 affect Stone Cold 's carrer? True, he didn't retire until '03 but even at age 39, it seemed way too early for him to pack it in, especially since Austin was in the midst of one of the greatest...

I'm not talking about what we think; but rather, what the WWE brass is thinking. What was the story last night? In the lead-up to Royal Rumble, I firmly believed this was to be Roman's biggest validation yet. I figured he'd conquer all 29 guys gunning for him and emerge stronger than ever...

From a creative standpoint, it's been interesting watching the Ric & Charlotte Flair Show as it's developed from him rooting for her in NXT to what they're doing now on the main roster. Until recently, they were both faces, as Ric has been for years in WWE. Whatever factors are turning the...

When WWE booked legendary football player Lawrence Taylor to work a match with a pro wrestler at WM11 in '95, why in the world did they choose Bam Bam Bigelow as the opposition? Obviously, a match like this was an effort by WWE to get mainstream media attention. That being so, was the guy...

Or maybe we should call it......Jobber's Paradise? Last night's 8-man tag featured a new team called 'The Social Outcasts' as they were ably opposed by a group I am dubbing: 'The Legion of the Lost' consisting of.......wait for it.......Damien Sandow.....Goldust.....Jack Swagger.....Zack...

It could be seen as ironically amusing that WWE's noble effort to prevent bullying has a stopping point.......right at the top......speaking of Vince & Stephanie McMahon; the leaders of the whole shebang. Yes, pro wrestling as a form of sports entertainment is going to feature bullying in...

When we saw the 5'5 Lucha Dragon cleanly defeat Ryback last month, I figured the result was geared more toward the de-push of the big guy than any call to fame for the little one. Then, he beat Alberto Del Rio last night on Smackdown, and now I'm wondering what in the world WWE Creative has...

Profile: Bob Backlund If there is a single pro wrestler whose career accents the change from the era of old-time wrestling to modern times, it’s Bob Backlund. As well, if there is a performer who got caught between the two eras and found his highly successful...

Why is Roman Reigns smiling so much? Why is he making nice with all the grubby-handed fans who can't wait to touch him as he struts down the aisle? Why was he grinning at Stephanie McMahon while she was slapping the shit out of him? When he was laying out Triple H and Vince McMahon, I thought...

Lesson-The roots of what we know today as the largest professional wrestling company in existence extend back to 1952, when Roderick ‘Jess’ McMahon and Toots Mondt formed Capitol Wrestling Corp. Two years later, Jess died and his son Vincent McMahon Sr. took his place. Mondt and Jess McMahon...

WWE Creative shouldn’t ‘humanize’ Rusev. They shouldn’t soften him in any way. The guy should remain the ultimate loner……he shouldn’t be making nice with allies or enemies, he shouldn’t be in tag teams with others and he shouldn’t be cooperating with anyone in any way. Why? Because ‘alone...

Can anyone figure why the company brought this guy in to be a Godzilla-type monster......but hasn't yet set him loose on Tokyo? When a seemingly overpowering figure enters a wrestling organization, he's going to be an indestructible force, at least until the forces of good can break him down...

Despite their difference in size, fighting Big Show or Rey Mysterio represents the same problem: it's almost impossible for their opponent to look good doing it. Against Rey, a normal sized man beating down a little guy like Mysterio makes the big one look like a horse's ass no matter how...

This company is celebrating their 20th anniversary, running local shows in high school gyms and state armories in Connecticut......and apparently making it. Look at the collection of performers scheduled to appear. It's good TNA isn't insisting on contracts binding people to them, allowing...

Many of us have been so busy speculating who will win the title at WM32 .....and presuming Seth won't be keeping it......that I wonder what he'll be doing after losing the belt, whenever it happens. Personally, I think he's one of the guys who will lead the company into the next decade. I...

His history with WWE has been sketchy, at best. He's been part of the Creative team.....then, he wasn't. He worked with Stephanie.....then, he didn't. He was fired from the company.....then, brought back. When Brock Lesnar was hired part-time, someone had the bright idea of bringing in Heyman...

Okay, so the divas started a revolution, consisting of 9 women battling it out while the old guard of gals were left to hang out in the locker room. Some of us wondered where Natalya was in all this.....and apparently, so did Natalya. Of course, beyond the 9 girls in groups, there were very...

We all know Roman Reigns' path after the powers-that-be in WWE apparently decided he was going to be the next big star.....scheduled to win the world title at WM31. Then, it was discovered that the designation was premature, that he wasn't ready for the push he was getting. As we all know, he...
