Many have questioned the ability of World Wrestling Entertainment to produce future stars. Furthermore, WWE’s current developmental system has been strongly questioned. The system headed by Jim Cornette and Danny Davis in Louisville (which produced Cena, Orton, Batista and countless others) is now a thing of ...

Very excited to see Mick Foley back in the WWE mix, especially in his current role. Of course, the hardcore legend is now the color analyst on Smackdown and, in case you haven't been paying attention, he's doing, expectedly, a masterful job. Foley seems to understand the business and, more ...

As I mentioned earlier, I had the distinct honor of being a guest on Fight Network Radio (aka Ranallo on the Radio) today.
We talked a whole bunch of WWE and primarily last night's episode of RAW and the current direction of the product leading up to Judgment Day this Sunday.
More ...

The topic of racism reared its ugly head this past week with the suspension of Michael Hayes for racial comments directed at Mark Henry over WrestleMania weekend.
Whether we agree or not, racism is a big part of the combat sports industry where the line between acceptable ...

Monday night, WWE brought back the King of the Ring tournament and built a three-hour edition of Monday Night Raw around it. The tournament itself was full of great stories and action. I particularly enjoyed the champion vs. champion clash between MVP and Chris Jericho, ...

* Obviously, the best thing going on WWE television today is the HBK-Batista feud. Interesting to see where things go now with the addition of Y2J.
* Santino stole the show again with his awesome mic skills. Seriously, when is he going to start hosting his ...

* The rumored Fedor Emelianenko vs. Tim Sylvia bout
* The post-Wrestlemania WWE landscape
* The HBK-Batista storyline
* The story involving steroids being found in ...

* 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
