I want to root for TNA, I really do. The business needs an alternative. However, most of the time it's hard to do so because beind-the-scenes they haven't been very receptive to good ol' Jarry Park. Actually, they have been downright rude to us on MANY occasions but, nevertheless, they ...

As a wrestling-loving child I was always drawn to the talkers. You know, the guys who were able to sell a match or a feud on the mic. And while the business has seen countless eloquent speakers come and go none were better than "Playboy" Gary Hart (left). The former ...

They don't get much more legendary than Dan "The Beast" Severn (left). Seriously, I could have asked Severn eight hours worth of questions with regards to his MMA and pro wrestling careers but instead I settled on forty minutes. And, boy, did we cover a lot:
* Why he continues to ...

Let's forget about everything that happened on the RAW following No Way Out up until last night, ok? None of it occurred, it was all just a dream.
Last night's Mayweather-Show segment - while not as good as the one that started it all - got me excited all over again ...

You need to stop what your doing right now and check out the video below, courtesy of WWE.com. It's mesmerizing.
The basic gist is it's a clip of Floyd Mayweather showing us that he has a million dollars in his bedroom. All he is really doing is counting it but for ...

Welcome to another new feature at Jarry Park. Every Monday, the producer of Live Audio Wrestling and Fight Network Radio, John Pollock, will stop by to deliver his weekly rant on the world of combat sports. It's a little something we like to call "Pollock's POV."
This week, the Prodigy tackles ...

Yesterday I touched on Joe Louis' infamous pro wrestling career. So infamous I never even heard about it. So, I did some research and found a spectacular video which appears to be one of Louis' first after deciding to try his hand at the world of wrasslin'.
After watching last night's ...

As some of you might know, I used to write on a more consistent basis for another great website entitled No Mas. Some guy from there always bangs on the Jarry Park headquarters' door whenever a big boxing match is coming up.
Anyhow, last year around this time, I ran the ...

We finish off yesterday's list...
5. WCW Bash at the Beach 1998 - Dennis Rodman & Karl Malone: One of the few things WCW actually did right was their execution of the Rodman/Hogan vs. Malone/DDP angle. Both men had just met in the NBA Finals and when Bob Costas mentioned ...

Four days later and I'm still jacked up over the Mayweather-Show Wrestlemania angle. It partially has something to do with the thought of my combat sports worlds colliding but I think more about the lost art of surprises in wrestling. That said, I will never forget the night Money May ...

Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s arrival in WWE made me think about some of the other great celebrity appearances in wrestling. Obviously we already talked about Tyson hitting the scene in 1998 but what were some of the other memorable ones? I know we've been doing a lot of lists lately but ...

I feel bad for WWECW. Everyone loves to diss it and complain it's nothing like the original version. Of course it isn't. It's WWECW! You guys need to stop living in the past and embrace the present. So, in the interest of spear-heading the WWECW revolution I present the top ...

A thought or two on the 2/18 edition of Monday Night Raw...
1. I gotta be honest, I wasn't a huge admirer of how the Mayweather-Show angle progressed on RAW. I dunno, it kind of felt a little flat. I'm certainly not giving up on it just yet and maybe I ...

I'm still not over the site of Floyd Mayweather in a WWE ring. Honestly, I had a hard time sleeping last night just thinking of it. I haven't been this excited for a celeb-wrestling angle since Pacman Jones joined TNA! Just kidding. No, I haven't been this amped since Mike ...

If you're a frequent visitor to The Park you know that we like to do things a little differently around here. You know, ask interesting questions, invite unique guests...that kind of thing.
