On this date in WWF history: The Radicalz debut on Monday Night RAW
In a lot of ways, it was more than just a major defection. It was the straw the broke the camel's back. On January 31, 2000, World Wrestling Championship (WCW) superstars Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn and Eddie Guerrero would appear on Monday Night RAW as ringside guests of World...
WWE responds to Republican Christopher Shays attack with the same tired talking points
As we reported here just over ten days ago, the race to choose the next Republican candidate for the retiring Joe Liebermann's Connecticut Senate seat is heating up, with Linda McMahon's main rival, Christopher Shays, aggressively going after her Achilles' heel of dead former WWE...
Cageside Quote: Steve Corino is a magician who knows the secret behind safe chairshots to the head
One of the worrying trends of 2011 has been how chairshots to the head have started to creep back into mainstream American wrestling, after once being thought banned from the major leagues of WWE and TNA, and performers supposedly being dissuaded from using them in ROH, due to the well known...
Are Daniel Bryan and his title run being set up by the WWE higher ups to fail?
Having to bear with gridlocked traffic and parking lots that are beyond capacity, trudging through monuments to consumerism are what a majority of people have to deal with during the holiday season. Then there's often traveling involved plus dinners, brunches, second breakfasts, elevenses and any...
That was awesome! (clap clap clapclapclap): Raw ... is ... JERICHO!
The Monday Night Wars were fantastic. Competition was fierce between the WWE and World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and both companies would stop at nothing to sign their rival's top talent away. While Eric Bischoff and the boys in Atlanta had the lion's share of talent raiding, the WWE did manage...
Crossface - The Chris Benoit movie WWE definitely doesn't want produced!
It was inevitable: a film company has decided to make a movie on the Chris Benoit double murder suicide tragedy. If that wasn't enough for Vince McMahon to fall into one of his notoriously foul moods upon hearing the news, then their plans to adapt Matthew Randazzo V's infamous book "Ring Of Hell:...
That was awesome! (clap clap clapclapclap): Super J Cup 1994 still owns 17 years later
Doing yesterday's piece on Hayabusa's Japanese debut at the Super J Cup 1994, I lauded the event as one of the all-time best. So when I stumbled upon the event in its entirety, I couldn't help but give it an entry all to itself. Eddie Guerrero, Jushin Liger, Chris Benoit, Great Sasuke, TAKA...
That was awesome! (clap clap clapclapclap): Bret Hart and Chris Benoit pay tribute to Owen Hart
I will never forget that day. I signed onto America Online and an acquaintance who I had done some e-fed stuff with (yeah, I was really into that) messaged me immediately. I thought it strange as we hadn't spoken in a while. He asked me if I was watching the pay-per-view (PPV). I hadn't and that's...
On this date in WCW history: Bret Hart becomes champion by submitting Sting and Chris Benoit at 'Mayhem'
Submitting Sting and Chris Benoit is no easy feat. Doing it in consecutive bouts on a professional wrestling pay-per-view to win the title? Someone in booking really likes you. On November 21, 1999, Bret Hart won the strap in the WCW World Heavyweight Championship Tournament at the Mayhem...
Jeff Hardy's unprotected chair shot to the head proves that TNA never learns
TNA management just never learns, do they? No, I'm not talking about them producing yet another lacklustre pay-per-view event on Sunday, their never ending push of the green Crimson or signing yet another D-list celebrity from Jersey Shore. This time I'm talking about Jeff Hardy's unprotected...
