The show started with a bang, jumping right into a three-way bout for the Full Impact Pro world heavyweight title. FIP, for those who don’t know, is ROH’s sister promotion. Many wrestlers work for both companies and championships are cross promoted, as was the case in this match. The contest...
Now that the post-Attitude era is quickly speeding towards similar cartoon territory, the public perception that Vince McMahon so desperately wants to make legitimate, is in danger of retreating in the exact opposite direction he wants it to go. Regardless of if the public perception i...

Rey Mysterio’s knees are in very bad condition. He requires surgery to correct it but is delaying the operation as long as possible, which will likely lead to more long-term complications. He is excited about his current program with Batista, unlike a number of his other feuds in recent tim...
The Undertaker laying out John Cena with a Tombstone at the end of Raw this week was meant to be the first step in a build towards them facing off at WrestleMania 26.

To go with these heels was top monster, Andre the Giant. The former face wasn’t mobile, but didn’t need to be. Always a beloved physical specimen, Andre merely had to cheat in the smallest ways, with chokes and such for the crowd to vehemently hate him. He was so big and over, everything he did wa...
This should be great except when Truth is in the ring. Interestingly, Regal is the only one here to never hold a major top title. Christian had NWA, TNA and ECW. Punk had ROH, ECW and the World Title (thrice), while Truth, for some reason, had the NWA title (and thus made TNA gun-shy on giving anot...
Roddy Piper invites out Bobby Flay but this brings out Iron Sheik who starts ranting about Hulk Hogan. Sheik has his old action figure and it is pummeling Hogan’s figure. If you listen closely, you can hear John Morrison weeping into his fur coat.

TNA has posted a questionnaire on their website in the interest of finding out what the fans want, so that they can improve their product. Or, to put it another way, they’ve put up their entire roster (including Hulk Hogan and Jeff Jarrett) and want to know who you watch Impact to see. You can [...]

Josh interrupts Jericho who is getting ready to go out there by asking him about facing the Deadman.

The Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho: This is being advertised everywhere (including Jericho’s Twitter page) that this is the first time these two have faced each other in a singles match. Jericho dodges an initial attack and fires shots of his own to the Undertaker in the corner before the ref...
“I just think it was a situation where two guys who love the industry wanted to go again. I don’t think Hulk has ever been to Australia and he wanted to go there. That’s the thing, no matter how long you do this for, or how old you are, you still have a love and a passion for the business. I wish them all...
With Bolt, I think they really need to start trimming the fat with their women wrestlers. Honestly, watching a good portion of them wrestle is just so embarrassing sometimes. As for Holiday, most of you will remember him as Trevor Murdoch from WWE.
Now, Scott Armstrong is from a talented wrestling family. His father is wrestling legend Bullet Bob Armstrong. His brothers include Brian, better known as former Degeneration X’er and New Age Outlaw the Road Dogg Jesse James, and Brad, aka Badstreet and Buzzkill and Arachnaman. And he’s...
Razor Ramon v. Diesel Vince McMahon is out to award the Superstar of the Year trophy to Bret Hart, and for some reason also brings out runner-up Lex Luger as well. Yes, he can’t even win a rigged fan vote! This, of course, was actually going somewhere. Bret’s speech doesn’t really say too much.

Vince told me that nobody remembered the old ECW and he created this enthusiasm for this new ECW. He said: “Well Rob, there’s a lot of support because they’re watching WWE promote ECW. They weren’t around back then. People grow up, have kids, things change.” On crowd reaction to ECW:
10. Batista was rightly made to look like an absolute monster during the SmackDown main event, although I can’t help but think that too much time was given to Batista/ Mysterio tonight and not enough to the World Heavyweight Championship feud.
The internet, as usual, has found an issue to be divided upon. On one side, we have those who believe giving away a first time match-up on free television is a bad idea. The other side believes that match-ups don’t draw in and of themselves, it’s all about the feud and its build- whether they’ve...
Even though DX does sell merch, and I’m happy that John Cena is fighting someone besides Randy Orton, we have watered down versions of both Triple H and Shawn Michaels. Shawn is portrayed as a parody of himself, and Triple H helps panhandle their products on a weekly basis. There’s no major ed...

The WWE often struggles with creativity, especially when it comes to getting wrestlers and angles over. This needn’t be the case. The WWE has an absurdly huge tape library from many of the best promotions in history. Every idea needn’t be an original and the wheel only needed to be invented on...

Once the rankings are set, wrestlers can only enter the “Pick 6” Standings by defeating a ranked wrestler. A ranked wrestler that defeats a higher seeded wrestler assumes that spot in the Pick 6. The losing wrestler and those ranked lower drop one spot in the standings.
ECW opens with a tribute to the troops in honor of Veterans Day. Hey, they pay tribute every week when John Cena pretends he’s really a marine and it’s not just a role he played in a crappy movie. They don’t have anything to prove to you! Match 1: Paul Burchill w/ Katie Lea vs. Goldust
WCW. World Championship Wrestling had several syndicated television shows, namely WCW Worldwide. Might as well continue that idea that WWE TV has an extensive library with some WCW action. Prime Time Wrestling. WWE Superstars. ECW Classic. WCW PPV. WWE Classic PPV. WCW PPV encore. ECW Classic.

Back in and Hogan is down with Undertaker above him doing the creepy eyes. Hogan is out for two, comes back alive on the third and starts trying to tear into Undertaker.

06. Tatsu is sloppy as hell. Dangerous even. His match with Regal a numbers of years back was probably the worst match I’ve seen in 2009 from the WWE. I bet Regal got most of the blame for that since it was his job to lead Tatsu, but I fault Yoshi. He reminds me a lot of super babyface John Cena in a really...

Welcome to another Week in the Indies and this I guess I should call the “Damn, this year is going too fast..” edition. But, alas, I won’t. Why bother telling you what you know already?

Jericho and Big Show keep walloping Cena as HHH and Shawn keep making jokes about math.

Jim Cornette gives his thoughts on the hottest topic in wrestling today, Hogan and Bischoff joining/running TNA, at his Q and A page. He’s not too thrilled: Oh, this whole thing reminds me of why I hate corporate wrestling. I must admit there are bright spots, like imagining Vince McMahon’s...

We kicked off the new program tonight with a quick discussion of the WWE Hell in a Cell 2009 PPV then moved in depth into this week’s Raw and ECW show. After agreeing on WAY TOO MUCH to begin the show, finally we were at odds when we talked about which new wrestlers were getting a push in TNA. We fini...

Now, I know Vince is supposed to be so inundated with the WWE Universe that he has no clue what is going on in the world of pop culture; we all have heard the stories of him pulling the plug on Pirate Paul Burchill because he didn’t think pirates were “in”, despite it being at the peak of Pirates o...
1. Despite the fact that Chris Jericho and the Big Show are currently involved in the John Cena/ Randy Orton feud on RAW they’re still being put into some kind of storyline with Batista. And let’s not forget that in this storyline, there will be a very good chance that they will both get fed [...] 1. D...
It’s kind of a novel concept to actually award a Wrestler of the Week to someone who actually had a good wrestling match. Last night at WrestleMania XXV Undertaker and Shawn Michaels showed that the middle “W” in WWE still stands for Wrestling. Props go out to both men for not only putting on on...
SPOILERS: Austin Aries forced Genki Horiguchi to submit in the Horns of Aries, which commentators are now calling the “Last Chancery.” This put ROH 1-0 against Dragon Gate. The Briscoes defeated Dragon Kid & Ryo Saito when Jay Briscoe pinned Saito following a Springboard Doomsday De...

Edge/Taker is something I’ll save for the Roundtable because I don’t wanna get into Smackdown spoilers, but all I will say is that this feud started late last year and the WWE has done a brilliant job bringing up their history and even using lame sports entertainment booking to enhance thi...
