Second installment of the In Their Prime posts. This one features the reigning WWE Champion CM Punk vs Kurt Angle in both of their primes. Before I begin lemme say this. I am in NO WAY stating that Punk is past his prime. I'm simply suggesting that the current CM Punk vs Kurt Angle from let's...

We've all heard how Dolph Ziggler has been compared to Shawn Michaels (whether or not those comparisons are accurate isn't really the subject) and so I'm wondering, if there was one match between these two and both men were in their primes, who would win and why? Let's say it's about 20 years...

In the history of professional wrestling, there have been a few wrestlers who created matches specifically for themselves and developed a reputation for being the best at these particular matches. Since this month's WWE PPV is Hell in the Cell, I want to know what wrestlers were the best all...

I know WrestleMania is about 6 months or so away, but it's never too early to start talking about the Hall of Fame? I actually like the Hall of Fame, to a certain extend because usually this is the only time where predictably goes flying out the window where you never know who's gonna get in...

I was just thinking about a forgotten tag team from a few years ago, Rated-RKO, Edge and Randy Orton. What a duo. And both were at the top of their games then, especially Randy Orton. I remember their brief feud with DX and felt like it could really go somewhere. They could really go somewhere...

I was reading a post on here about Hacksaw Jim Duggan slamming Vince Russo. I made a comment & said that I believe Vince & Vince both needed each other, as I feel that neither really had the same success after they parted ways. We all are familiar with Vince Russo's WCW days, and if you're not...

Over the past few months I've noticed something that's missing on WWE Classics on Demand, and this is WCW Monday Nitro. I see they are adding a few classic shows such as WCW World Wide Wrestling as well as Stampede Wrestling, however it appears that they've dropped Nitro. Is this true or are...

I live in Ohio, which obviously is miles away from sunny Florida and I've been hearing a few things about Florida Championship Wrestling. Where I'm at I don't get the station that airs FCW, so I'm asking where can I view it? And who should I pay attention to? I know I'm about 2 or 3 years behind...

Quietly, CM Punk has held the WWE Championship for a little less than seven months now, winning it on November 20, 2011. Nobody really is making noise about this, stating that his title reign has now surpassed the half year mark and that maybe he could go the distance and keep it for a year. I...

Next month will be the five year anniversary of the tragic and senseless double murder/suicide of Chris Benoit. Vince McMahon vowed days after the news came out that Chris had murdered his son & wife and then hung himself over a 3 day period that he would never mention his name or show any...

Today is a landmark day in the history of professional wrestling, er ah, sports entertainment. In fact, if you go to the History Channel's website and look on their "This Day In History" link, in the sports section, there's a mention of just how important today is in wrestling history. For those...

9 years ago the WWE's annual November event, Survivor Series was held inside New York City's Madison Square Garden. Of course, this year it's going to be back at MSG with the highlight of the night being the long-awaited return to the ring of The Rock as he teams with John Cena against The Miz &...

I was watching The Great American Bash 1990 today on WWE 24/7 and found it really interesting that by 1990 many of his peers were considering Ric Flair to be the greatest World Heavyweight Champion of all time. By 1990 I was 10 years old and had a pretty good hold on wrestling and a fair amount...

Not since the late 1980s has wrestling played mainstream music for superstar's entrances. The reason being, among other reasons, is that you'd have to pay the musician a royalty, which understandably so, is required from anyone outside of that musician if it's going to be used for any other...

Recently it has been rumored that Ric Flair has been having some issues with management inside Impact Wrestling and that management has been having their own issues with the legendary Flair. While details are sketchy, it appears that Flair's issues are stemming from house shows and a decision to...

I don't know how many of you actually have WWE 24/7 On Demand, or how many actually follow it if you have it, but I am one subscriber who does and follows most of the programming quite often. Needless to say, I'm starting to not care for it too much. Here's why: The programming of the shows...

Hi everyone. This is my 2nd installment on "Grade The Wrestler". Today I'm talking about Alberto Del Rio and asking everyone to grade his overall performance since he's arrived in WWE a little over a year ago. Since arriving in the company on the June 25, 2010 edition of SmackDown via video...

Before everyone kills me, please hear me out: Smackdown was supposed to be, during the brand split, its own brand, but I'm not exactly if it is in reality. It seems more like its own show like it used to be when it was first created. Also, the name Smackdown really is a word that The Rock...

I know there's been hundreds of posts on here about the WWE Hall of Fame, who should & should not be inducted, why some people are left off while others get the nod and a whole host of other thought worthy topics concerning the Hall. But I was watching the DVD, The Rise and Fall of WCW and I...

This is going to be my first installment of "Grade A Wrestler" where I ask you to grade the superstar's progress after either a major feud or a big match, usually a year or so later. I will present facts on this person's progress & ask you to tell me if the superstar has exceeded expectations or...
