There is No 'Pure' Wrestling →
I think Derek and I were starting towards a conversation like this last Sunday during the ROH PPV, but probably got derailed by, ya know, the thing on the TV with wrestling.
But insofar as “pure” wrestling exists, the goal of wrestling from its birth has been to make as much money as possible with the least amount of damage to the wrestlers. That’s been the mission of every...

Randy Orton On Kelly Kelly?
divaliciousandjeo:
All these people hating Randy for saying the truth about Kelly are really dumb. It’s more Kelly’s fault then anything. She made her own image of debuting a stripper and now she can live with the hate from all these people. I don’t like her. Period. I love Randy for saying the truth, even though it was wrong of him to do so. But, Kelly made her own bed, now she can lie in it...

The next two weeks??
So, I’m just gonna go into blathering fanboy mode here:
If Punk is out next week due to suspension, that means he has one more episode of Raw to tie the whole thing together (I’ve also read his suspension is on a day by day basis or something? I’m sure he’ll be back on the 11th).
I really think this means Vince will have to make an onscreen appearance. The build from...

I am already sick of the dialogue online. CM Punk’s promo was too good to warrant the typical online wrestling community static.

Josh Matthews got it wrong, though. The Haka is a sort of war dance, but it’s not used for intimidation or anything like “we’re going to kill you1111!!!” it’s a dance showing respect. Like, we’re going to give our best because...

Aggressive Art: Kevin Kelly is a xenophobic idiot →
aggressiveart:
Y’all remember Kevin Kelly, right? He was an interviewer for WWE a few years ago. Now he writes for Wrestlezone and has a radio show. He might not be a xenophobic idiot in general, and he might be a nice guy other times, but he’s definitely a xenophobic idiot in this article:
The WWE is…

wallsofjericho:
I hate defending Bischoff, but it’s hard to innovate in wrestling because everyone rips off everyone else. It’s execution that matters. The nWo was an innovative idea for America, so I give Bischoff credit for that, but at the same time, I give him credit for ruining the angle by not knowing how to book it, or at the very least, not knowing that giving Hogan and Nash creative...

DC should sue TNA just based on their stupidity. This whole thing is so typical of TNA. I guess I should be happy that for once they are ripping off something other than old WCW storylines.
I’m not aware of what TNA is doing with Sting right now (I saw that ridiculously bad “backstage” segment with him and Hogan in the office, but that’s it). I know I’m a broken...

The Ballad of CM Punk →
” He doesn’t look much like a wrestler, at least not the kind you’re used to seeing on TV. He looks more like the sort you’d see laying into his buddy with plywood and hammers in a backyard garbage match. He works because he’s so unlikely, because we’ve had it so firmly ensconced in our thinking that a guy like Punk can’t be the guy Punk has...

The belts are only as important as the people wearing them and the way they’re portrayed just like everything else in the business.

Yeah, people, it’s a work. If it happened on WWE TV, it’s a work.

Maybe it’s my undying love for the guy and my hope that he stays on the grand stage (he could go back to ROH but he wouldn’t be legally able to be a part of the first broadcast on the 13th in Chicago, which would be the only logical time for him to go back there… and, if he went to TNA...

“Unless you want to call every rapper from the last ten years and every cop show that has ever depicted “gangstas” as racist as well.”
I’d be pretty willing to bet there is ingrained racism in nearly every “gangsta” character on 95% of every cop show, and that is what is known as a huge problem, since most people probably defend such depictions as “well, that’s just...
