The ESSENTIALS: Crafting the Ultimate Top Ten Part One

Everyone has their own opinion and reasoning behind where they rank their favorite superstars of all time.  So I came up with a creative idea of how we could work out a definitive list.  I've asked 10 superfans from various walks of life who've each become a fan in different eras to give me their list of favorite superstars that define their love for pro wrestling.  I asked each to list no less than 10 and no more than 20.  I also encouraged everyone to use wrestlers from any promotion.  Each time a wrestler's name appeared, I gave them a point.  Since not everyone gave me more than 10 names, I only gave points to the names in everyone's top ten.  Based on who had the most votes and how high they were ranked, I came up with a definitive list that I will post later on with full profiles on each superstar.  The results are in!  Find out who everyone voted in their list after the jump!

Dream Sequence: The Ultimate WWE vs. TNA Dream Card

Welcome to the first ever edition of Dream Sequence.  In this new series, I will be highlighting some of the best matches that never happened and giving you all an idea of how things could potentially have gone down.  These articles are all just for fun and are not meant to be taken too seriously.

Why I chose a TNA vs. WWE showdown

There are many dream matches in pro wrestling but only one true dream card.  That's right I'm talking about a TNA vs. WWE showdown!  Imagine if the top stars from TNA began invading WWE and challenging the WWE's elite to the battle to end all battles.  Vince and Dixie then come to an agreement that they should combine forces and the first ever TNA and WWE co-presented four hour PPV extravaganza entitled "Showdown 2012" will now take place inside Madison Square Garden.  Who would challenge who for ultimate brand supremacy?  Who would ultimately win and be able to say that their company is indeed the best?  Find out how I'd book it in my first ever Dream Sequence article after the jump!

The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend

Last night on Smackdown, three of the most underutilized performers in the company (Drew McIntyre, Heath Slater & Jinder Mahal) united to assault Brodus Clay.  On paper, these three don't help to compose anyone's list of  "potential stables" right now, but perhaps that's a good thing.

Five Star Updates

There have been a lot of additions to the 5 Star Matches section of the blog as of late.  Be sure to check in monthly as I am always watching tape and will be adding matches that I feel are must see for you there.

Retro Reviews and Awards

I get a lot of emails about events and wrestlers from the past and being the wrestling nerd that I am, I have a hard time responding to them all without being able to go into full detail.  So to make things a bit more interesting for you all, I am going to begin reviewing past events and giving out awards for past years of wrestling.  Be sure to check the new section of the blog called WWE Retro in the Tags section for updates. 



Stay tuned,

WWE PPV Review: Night Of Champions 2012

Here are my thought's on the WWE's 6th annual Night Of Champions PPV:

The ESSENTIALS: Five Models that would make for great WWE Divas

Welcome to another sexy edition of the ESSENTIALS.  This week, I posted an article on the 30 sexiest women of wrestling.  The article quickly went on to become one of the most popular on the blog.  Thus, inspiring me to do a bit of a companion piece.  Earlier in the year I made the argument that "sex sells" and that the WWE Divas division thrived in the Attitude Era partly due to the fact that the divas were steaming up TV screens week after week.  The current crop of divas have some very capable performers, but it's always going to seem as if there's a missing element.  That missing element is the model of diva who thrives in the role Torrie Wilson and Stacy Keibler once filled.  The days of the divas who had major mainstream crossover appeal and were primarily used as valets and occasional bikini contests and fulfilled our fantasies in DVD releases, are long gone.  Still, if the WWE were to do another "Diva Search", I'm going to throw a few names out there for them to start with.  These five women are smoking hot, but also possess that X-factor.  That intangible quality that I believe, can help bring back the sexy and win back some of the attention the division has been sorely lacking.  This list is purely for entertainment purposes and shouldn't be taken very seriously.  And even if you don't miss the "sexy era", at least you can appreciate the view.

Bret Hart speaks on Montreal, the WWE wasting talent & More

WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart spoke with Rob McNichol of the UK Sun this week about his return to Montreal on Monday for RAW and WWE wasting great talent by focusing on making them “television stars” instead of world class pro wrestlers. Here’s what he said about:

Wrestling's 30 Sexiest Women of All Time

Throughout history there have been many beautiful women in WWE, TNA, WCW, ECW and pretty much every major wrestling promotion, but only 30 have been sexy enough to stop traffic.  I'm not just talking about looks alone.  I'm talking that one-of-a-kind hotness that can take on a life of it's own, launching a career and launching many....um....hormonal responses.  And don't get me wrong, we all love a great female athlete, but this ain't your daddy's list of "best lady rasslers", this is a list of the top 30 smoldering hottie hot hot super sexy women of all time.  Prepare yourself.  Things are about to heat up.

CM Punk and John Cena IV: Match of the Year?

It's difficult to even think of last night's episode of Raw without feeling a bit of dread due to the fact that everything that happened on this night will eventually be completely overshadowed by Jerry Lawler's heart attack.  On a personal note, I still haven't fully accepted it.  It's just hard to even fathom someone who's been a staple of my Monday nights for more than a decade going through such a trial.  Many even question the WWE's decision to continue the show, but that's a tough call.  One I'm glad I did not have to make.  I do however, believe Lawler would have wanted the show to continue and for everyone to give their best performance in his honor.  And boy did they ever. 

Thoughts & Prayers go out to Jerry Lawler

Last night during Monday Night Raw, Jerry "The King" Lawler suffered a heart attack.  This whole ordeal has been very difficult for everyone to cope with, but none of us have had a longer night than the King himself.  I would like to send my prayers out to Jerry Lawler and his loved ones and I am in high hopes that he'll make a full recovery soon. 

September 11, 2001: A Day We Will Never Forget

Today is September 11th and it's been 11 years since the horrible attack on the twin towers and the 11th anniversary of the many deaths that followed.  Today is a day we should all take the time so send our prayers and thoughts to all those who lost their lives that day and to their families.  God Bless.

WWE Raw Reaction 9/3/2012

Last night's episode of Raw was a landmark for the entire year, hell the entire decade thus far.  Finally, they've managed to shift the focus almost COMPLETELY onto the next generation of stars.  Whether it's because talent like CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz (who was just awesome on commentary), AJ, Sheamus & Alberto Del Rio are all supremely talented or if it's just plainly out of necessity, remains to be seen, but do we really care to argue that point anymore?  Last night's episode was fantastic!  That's right, I just used the word fantastic.  I hate that word, but I'm hard pressed to find a better way to describe what was one of my favorite shows of the year PPVs included.
