    Chris Benoit wasn't solely responsible for the PG Era

    WWE was always going to slide back into a more kid friendly product eventually. That's the sort of stuff that Vince enjoys. Hulkamania is his ideal wrestling and he was always looking for ways to return to that once he had a strong grip of the American scene again. Things like Benoit just...

    Big Cass Gone...

    Apparently the straw that broke the camel's back was an incident backstage with Carmella. Apparently he caused a scene when he tried to have Carmella forgive him for whatever caused their breakup in front of the locker room. Carmella told him no and he got angry and grabbed her so she couldn't...

    Wrestlers you think can/could have made it in UFC

    The idea of the thread is fine. But the discourse in it was sadly not. I'll keep the thread locked but end it with a few wrestlers who also are bonafide MMA fighters. Kazuyuki Fujita, Masakatsu Funaki, Minoru Suzuki and Kazushi Sakuraba. All of them kept up successful MMA careers alongside...

    RIP Vader

    This obviously blows. Vader is the forerunner for so many athletic big men wrestlers. He blazed the path and did so in a style that few can replicate. Most athletic big men are just big men that wrestle like cruiserweights. But Vader was a Super Heavyweight that just happened to be able to do a...

    Can you name other wrestlers who look good physically and can wrestle but suck on the microphone ?

    Triple H and his fucking tough guy voice/act that makes him sound like he's holding in a massive dump

    Rate NJPW Dominion 6.9 2018

    Was a fine show. Kenny vs Okada did not click as well with me as it did most. But I also ain't a fan of super long matches. Different strokes for different folks. It was a good match however just not fully in my taste. And the implications for the main event are obviously huge. It was cool to...

    Why did AJ leave WWE?

    At odds with the brass who were also at odds with her then fiancee/now husband. Doesn't really have to be any deeper than that

    Oriental Wrestling Entertainment

    The fine folks over at Discovery Wrestling has put together a blog post going over the current OWE roster. Their characters, gimmicks and why they dress the way they do. It's an interesting read

    Mustafa Ali: I've completely shattered the barrier

    He's come a long way since being booed upon introduction at the Cruiserweight classic. That they stuck to that and built on it is actually pretty cool. They could have so easily gone with the flow and made him just another heel but they allowed him to remain babyface and build his character...

    All Japan - The House Baba built

    All Japan drew 1680 fans to a sold out Korakuen yesterday (very impressive for a weekday show when it isn't a national holiday, usually only New Japan pulls this off) for a show main evented by Kento defending the belt against NOAH's Naomichi Marufuji. Kento retained in a match of the year...

    Have you've ever seen wrestlers in real life or got messages from them on social media ?

    A bunch of independent guys mainly through twitter. Tim Donst, Cody Hall (Scott Hall's son), Gran Akuma. Some of the Japanese wrestlers have also found some of my tweets regarding their shows and thanked me for tweeting about them (Yoshitatsu, Kento Kobashi, Jun Akiyama). I also chat with the...

OWE is a newly started wrestling company based in Shanghai. The Chinese wrestling scene is very young but growing and the people behind OWE...

    NJPW at WRESTLEMANIA

    The reason they were there is because they are wrestling fans and had a friend in the main event. Nothing more. Nothing less. Neither Tanahashi or Suzuki have any interest in jumping ship. And Okada is backstage every year since he knows multiple people who work in WWE. It really isn't much...

    Would Punk still be in WWE if?

    Nah, he and Vince and Hunter were on collision course too often. He would still have left at some point. At best it would have extended his run a bit but I still think he would have walked out at some point.

    Is it true WWE exaggerate height and weight.

    They do to an extent. Some more than others. Some wrestlers have lifts in their boots to look taller than they are

    Champions League Final

    Madrid. Liverpool have had a hell of a run (lucky lottery at the start but they did make short work of both City and Roma). But Madrid has CL Finals ingrained in their DNA and always find that extra gear
