Jerry Jarrett might have outed TNA

In a statement filled with flawed logic (my opinion, not like you can’t reach me) Jerry Jarrett, without prompting, said the entire industry should be looked into, not just the WWE. You can find that statement here. Jarrett did say though that he thinks the biggest decision first made by Congress is whether wrestling is [...]

Op-Ed: On Expectations of the WWE and Drug Policies

I thought we could all benefit from a much different perspective than I’m used to seeing online or in print. We have longtime male journalists and editorialists in wrestling, and they do quite well. We do not have an abundance of college educated female wrestling fans who go back over ten to fifteen years in [...]

AP article gives wrestling debates legs through weekend

I want to thank Brian Hansley for his coverage of TNA Impact this week. It’s a nice reminder that wrestling can be a positive escape for it’s fans still, and I’d like to promote the “love of the game” even if things must change within “the game”. We have an AP article that will run in [...]

McMahon on Today Show

Vince McMahon was on the Today Show this morning doing damage control. Video inside

Wade Keller has a Thought

I’d like to cap off tonights extensive coverage of whatever this tragedy has become with a thought from Wade Keller, editor and lead writer of the Pro Wrestling Torch. I didn’t clear taking this quote from his site - he has the right to sue me - but this once, I think he’ll agree the [...]

Benoit-Steroid Distribution Link

There has been a link discovered between a Sports Illustrated article months back on a steroid bust, and Chris Benoit. Benoit was indeed one of the people listed as buying prescription drugs (along with Adam Copeland and Shane Helms). The new article with in-depth analysis can be found here. NOTE: Months ago I wrote a [...]

6.26. Late Night Report

Closing out for what has to be considered the most terrible day in the history of wrestling, and at least on par with the days Owen Hart and Eddie G. died. Here’s how the day ended in terms of news and links.

The Aftermath

In what has been a horrible 24 hours for wrestling and it’s fans alike, it is now being reported by the Associated Press that Chris Benoit strangled his wife, smothered his seven year old son, and hanged himself. Nancy is believed to have been killed Saturday, Daniel on Sunday, with Benoit killing himself Monday morning. [...]

Worst Person of the Week

Just like Keith Olbermann (I’m a fan going back to SportsCenter), I’d like to nominate a special Someone for WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD. I’m not saying who exactly, just that he lives in Nashville, has horrible fashion sense, and might have been responsible for losing 40 million dollars just to pretend he’s a [...]

Rasslin’ Rundown: New Champs, New Changes

On the eve of a pair of Ring of Honor shows, WWE’s big draft spectacular, a general mundaneness on this site, and the amazing Paris Hilton story (aren’t you compelled by it!? I am!), Brian Streleckis runs down all the news that seems fit to talk about in the wrestling landscape.

Return of the Rasslin’ Rundown (now with editorializing)

Brian Streleckis comes back with something more substantial than the current state of the National Wrestling Alliance: new tag champs for PWG, a new title for Mike Quackenbush, and even some… okay, a lot of thoughts on what’s been going down in McMahonLand.

The View from the Cheap Seats

I read John’s piece on the steroid bust and I must say I agree with him on a lot of it. Vince McMahon has a problem with his employees and doesn’t seem overly concerned to do anything about it. However, I think the blame being laid at the feet of fans (not so much by [...]

3.22.07 Four For The Road: Special Edition

I was in the process of researching a story on WWE house show and TV ratings and the translation (or lack there of) to PPV buys domestically. Unfortunately, with a timely serious hard news issue regarding WWE wrestlers being exposed by SI this week, that article will have to wait a day or two. Today’s [...]

5.10.06 Four For The Road

My first look at Mistico and his possibilities in America, WWE pisses off the wrong state athletic commission (and nothing ever happened), UFC scores big with Tito/Shamrock season of Ultimate Fighter, and some momentary sympathy for TNA. All this in the 5.10.06 version of Four For The Road.
