Where it all began … again

Watching Wrestlemania 20, and absolutely love the way it kicked off (from the opening video to the shot of Vince, Shane and baby Declan, to the crowd pop as Cena was introduced for the US Title match vs. Big Show). In fact, let’s remember back when Cena had the crowd in the palm of his [...]

Christmasssssss

I just got back into Jacksonville a little while ago, and this will probably be my last chance to post before the new year. I honestly wish I had something fascinating to report, some clever analysis of the heated grapplin’ issue, or even some goofy, overdone “Year in Review” type post to make. Unfortunately, I’m [...]

Christmas Presents

Did anyone out there receive any WWE themed Christmas presents?
 I got my little brother the WWE DVD Board Game, and we’ve had a blast playing it.  You get to be a GM, and use your very own roster of superstars to do battle with other players and win money and belts.  Take all of your [...]

Wiki-Mania!

With pro wrestling wrapping up an active (to say the least) year, and TWB’s readership gearing up to peak for RumbleMania(TM) season, I thought I’d post a link to the Internet Wrestling Community’s rather new, open-source wrestling wiki!

The way it works is simple — and please, tell your friends (especially those on winter break from [...]

TNA is WCW

According to PWInsider, Sting’s contract with TNA is a one-year deal in the “mid six figures.” It also includes first class airline tickets to all of his TNA dates. Because a small, non-touring wrestling company should of course be spending half a million dollars to bring in a guy that will get a few quick [...]

Predictions for next year

Completing my trifecta of awards will be the prections. I am going to try to predict accurately what will happen in the next wrestling year. This is very difficult, but will be a lot of fun.
