The Year of the Cena

So, in today’s Wall Street Journal, Vince practically gushes over Cena and his crossover possibilities.
In the UK Sun, Cena reminds everyone that his CD comes out May 10 … and the movie is scheduled for a Fall 2005 release.
Looking at WWE.com’s PPV schedule, the next Smackdown PPV is:
Judgment Day — [...]

The Intercontinental and United States titles. What’s the point?

PPV’s and Downloading

I was reading something that Scott Keith wrote earlier today in his blog, and I got to thinking. He, as well as other members of the IWC, often mentions the fact that he waits until PPV’s are over and then downloads the torrent to watch and review. He also mentioned that he hadn’t ordered a [...]

RAW in 6 Seconds

Could have been a lot better, could have been worse. The highlight was the 6-man tag, especially how the announcers continue to forget about the time Shelton lost the tag titles in a ladder match against Eddie & Tajiri … or how Edge and Christian are brothers.
Great Randy promo once again, and [...]

4 years Ago..

4 years ago we saw the final episode of Monday Nitro and the official end of WCW as we knew it…

The Great Smackdown Debate!

I’ll edit more thoughts later, but for now… a very skit/talky edition of Smackdown, but not a bad one in the least. I loved the Kurt/Sherri segment, and was laughing my ass off throughout Kurt’s entrance.

- He felt he and Hulk Hogan [...]

Teaching the Teacher

Randy Orton just did in a 5 minute promo and 2 minute video package what HHH couldn’t do in 15 minutes: entertained me as he hyped his Mania match. AND he got booed for kissing Stacy. Awesome.

RAW is TNA?

Rumor has it that Jarrett will also be meeting with Viacom executives soon about the possibility of TNA taking over the RAW timeslot on Spike TV when RAW leaves in September. [PWInsider.com]
I know Spike TV has said they want to move away from wrestling, and the chances of this actually happening with TNA are one [...]

Montreal, Part 24837848

“If Montreal’s a real situation, Vince WAS right… If JR didn’t know what was happening, then he called it based on a reaction - Bret, storyline wise, had just been screwed out of the WWF World Title. After gathering the facts, someone such as JR who has been around the business for decades, probably saw [...]
