Talkin’ Sylvia-Fedor, RAW and Mike Knox’s (Alleged) Blunder

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

As I mentioned earlier, I was a guest on Fight Network Radio yesterday afternoon. Host Mauro Ranallo and I spoke about some interesting MMA and wrestling topics including: * The rumored Fedor Emelianenko vs. Tim Sylvia bout * The post-Wrestlemania WWE landscape * The HBK-Batista storyline * The story involving steroids being found in ...

Mornin’ Muesli: Random RAW Thoughts

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

By BOB BOYER, JarryPark.com Contributor * Orton, Cena, Triple H & JBL for the WWE Title at Backlash.  Which one doesn’t belong?  Hmmm, I wonder. Why would they build JBL up the entire night, calling him “the longest reigning champ in Smackdown history,” and then make him look like a fool ...

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Fight Network Radio and Live Audio Wrestling producer, John Pollock, tackles a couple of heavy duty topics this week. First off, he weighs in on another "is pro wrestling responsible for this death" story. The incident in question is the death of a two-year-old boy in East St. Louis, IL. It ...

A Look At What Made Ric Flair So Special

Monday, April 7th, 2008

By BOB BOYER, JarryPark.com contributor Last week, I watched Ric Flair cry on my television screen for three straight days. He cried at the WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony last Saturday night. He wept as Shawn Michaels uttered the now infamous line: “I’m sorry….I love you.” And he ...

Memories From The Park: When Lance Storm Was Born

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

It was on this day 39 years ago that the leader of the Storm Troopers was born. Here's to you Lance! I always enjoyed Lance's work (partially because he hailed from Calgary...Alberta...Canada) and couldn't help but feel a little sad for him when he retired from World Wrestling Entertainment without fully ...

Pollock’s POV: Down With The Score & Down With PVRs

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Another week, another pissed off John Pollock. And, once again, he has every right to be. Much like most 18-to 34-year-old males (including myself), John wasn't home to catch the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony on Saturday night. He relied on his trusty PVR to tape the show but, just like ...

Booking The Perfect Wrestlemania 24

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

If you plan to watch one wrestling event this year this should probably be it. The Super Bowl of wrestling, the grand daddy of 'em all...blah blah blah. By now you've heard it all. I usually don't do this kind of thing when it comes to wrestling (or any other sport ...

Memories From The Park: When WCW Officially Took The Plunge

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

We all heard the news that Vince McMahon purchased WCW one fateful Friday in March of 2001 but it was on this date seven years ago that it was all set it stone. The final episode of WCW Nitro aired on TNT and when the telecast opened with Mr. McMahon ...

Pollock’s POV: Say It Ain’t So, Naitch

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Want to hear a fired up John Pollock? Just ask him about Ric Flair's retirement. You can't really blame The Prodigy since it's safe to say that regardless of whether Flair and HBK tear down the Citrus Bowl this Sunday this angle has been a major disappointment for all residents of ...
