The Great Debate: Tough Superstars Are An Endangered Species In The WWE

Ryback: Separating The Boys From The Men


Welcome to the latest installment in our GREAT DEBATE series.  Last night on WWE Main Event, Ryback squared off with Dolph Ziggler and proceeded to beat him senseless.  Afterwards, Michael Cole and The Miz conducted an interview with Paul Heyman via. satellite and Heyman made an interesting point.  Heyman suggested that Ziggler's name should not be mentioned in the same breathe as CM Punk's because Ziggler ran like a coward and did not take his beating like a man.  While some may argue that Punk has run from Ryback before, it's not Heyman's words that struck me, it's the realization that there are very few superstars on the current roster that have any credibility in the toughness category.

The Blog Formerly Known as GN9NEZWWE

Nearly a year ago, I formed this blog out of pure frustration with the current landscape of the IWC.  I was tired of all of the negativity floating all over the Internet and longed for a place that I could go to for a more balanced and fair perspective, without admitting to spoilers or the other crap floating around on many of the "dirt sheets".  I had noticed that most of the negativity was directed at the WWE's current product so I began to take a stand.  Thus, GN9NEZWWE was born.  Still, I am a huge fan of pro wrestling from all over and I still watch TNA, ROH, DGUSA, PWG, NOAH, Shimmer, Chikara and many other wrestling promotions and I've begun to feel a bit strangled by committing myself to only reviewing WWE related content. 

Now that's all about to change with the blog now being re-dubbed G9ZWrestling.  We're expanding folks.  And I hope you will all come for the ride with us.  I for one, am very excited to get the opportunity to keep my mission statement alive, while still being able to give you all a heads up on which companies/events and wrestlers you should keep an eye on.  If you are primarily a fan of the WWE, have no fear I will still be reviewing PPVs and some of your favorite series of articles (The ESSENTIALS, The Great Debate and more) will carry over and we will stay true to those of you who've been fans since the beginning. 


Thanks for all of your continued support,

WWE DVD Review: CM Punk - Best In The World




CM Punk (born Phil Brooks) is one of the most unique and enigmatic WWE superstars of all time.  His private life is of great value to him so it's truly a treat for any wrestling fan to be able to get some form of insight into the man who redefined the current WWE.  Punk vowed to bring about change in the WWE and his attitude towards his DVD set is no different.  He was granted full creative control over everything from the music, to the list of personalities featured to the matches on discs two and three.  Needless to say, the hype around this set has many anticipating it to be one of the best the WWE will ever produce.  So did it live up to the hype?  Is this DVD indeed the best in the world?  Find out after the jump!

The ESSENTIALS: Crafting the Ultimate Top Ten Part Two

Here we are with part two of this very special edition of the ESSENTIALS.  It's hard to argue just who are the greatest sports entertainers to ever live, but we here at GN9NEZWWE have done our best to come up with a list of the Top Ten Wrestlers who are the true elite.



Controversially, Hulk Hogan made only one appearance in our staff's Top Ten Lists



In Part One, I posted everyone's list and while there were some variations, there were 10 performers who's names appeared the most.  In order to rank the wrestlers who's names appeared the same amount of times, I used some math to determine what order their names should be placed.  I have to say, while it may be controversial, I do believe we've come up with quite the unique list of the best wrestlers of all time.
