just a thought

I'll give credit were credit is due TNA may not beat WWE next week, but I will say this, TNA have done what no other company since WCW has, it has made WWE think about Competition, and that in itself is a good step forward.

How Vince McMahon Destroyed Wrestling

I've watched the WWF  since the Moon Dog era. I saw Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka and Andre the "GianT" @ Hartford Civic Cntr. I never knew about the other federations or that they were territorial. Then WCW  errupted  and  I faithfully watched WWF  while  cursing "traders" such as "Hulk Hogan". WWF took over WCW  then ECW. I was psyched..now the undercards for the  new "WWE", were superstars   from the competition. I see now, that just like the "WalMarts" of the world, the WWE had consumed   the...

This is What a Fan Said on a Message Board

COMMENTARY: If TNA can't beat RAW in January then they're done. I'm not gonna post the link, the user name or the message board that this was posted on, but it's a comment I read and the thread quickly turned into people who believed the comment and those did not. TNA's message is clear: They're targeting WWE. I think we can all agree on that. But if TNA does not beat WWE in the ratings on Jan 4, then it essentially means nothing. If WWE doubles TNA's ratings then it still means no...

RAW Has Been Unbelievably Boring Tonight So Far

I don't really know if anyone was expecting it to kick TNA's ass on January 4th but there's absolutely no chance as far as I can see it. What the hell is with Mark Cuban appearing as guest host anyway? The guy is just continually talking out of his ass and makes as much sense as I do after 15 beers. Anyone else agree with me that people are going to get a shock in early January when TNA kicks RAW into touch?

Jeff Hardy and Umaga wWE Toy

I’m not really sure about what to think about this. I just clicked on the Wrestling Blog Store and the first item I see is this dual limited edition action figure set that features both Jeff Hardy and the recently deceased Umaga. It’s sort of ironic, one man is gone from WWE and will probably never return due to his own stupidity and the other guy is gone from us forever. Is it too soon for Amazon to start exploiting Umaga? Or is it just an unfortunately product placing in the store?

WrestlingBlog “2010” Site Update

  I just want to thank everyone for visiting today. It’s a busy day here on WrestlingBlog due to the recent tragic news about Umaga’s untimely death.

I always looked forward to his matches on Raw, and  later on Smackdown  because his character was great. Sure it was a bit comic-booky, but that’s ok. Wrestling can be hok...
