The Iceman, The Bad Boy, The Game and The Phenom: Knowing when to go
When Brock Lesnar made the crossover to MMA, I had been out of pro wrestling fandom for a few years. Mixed martial arts captivated my teenage thirst for realistic combat that pro wrestling could no longer quench. One of my favorite fighters as I grew more in tune with the sport was Chuck Liddell...
Precap for the Jan. 30, 2012 episode of Raw or, the one after the Royal Rumble
No big introduction this week, folks. Everything that can be said about the Royal Rumble has already been stated, both by others and by myself. I don't wish to rehash anything here, so let's jump right into the nights festivities. Punk! Johnny Ace! Ziggler! Trips! WWE Championship! Control of...
Precap for Jan. 23, 2012 episode of Raw or, the go-home show to the Royal Rumble
Fitting the pieces together The past few episodes of Raw have been excellent, and a lot of that has to do with the top of the card finally being stabilized. John Cena is still at the top of the food chain, regularly opening and closing shows. Chris Jericho is doing whatever he damn well pleases....
John Cena -- The Prototype
There is nothing more American than a genuine hard worker. A guy that shows up early, leaves late and seems to always think about work. Constantly giving tireless effort to his duties and responsibility. That is the quality of America, the quality many people find admirable and companies across...
Precap for Jan. 9, 2012 episode of Raw or, Don't feed the Jericho after midnight
There are a thousand recaps about wrestling online so this will be a bit different. Instead of recapping a show, I will be precapping it. We'll look at what will likely happen tonight, what plots will move forward, what questions could be answered, and what crazy shenanigans we might see. It is...
Why I wish Tim Tebow was a pro wrestler
WWE needs more main event wrestlers. That is a fact that has become painfully obvious with each passing day. Ideally it would be able to promote from within, bringing people up from developmental and guiding them along to become top level superstars, from the mid-card all the way to the top of...
Precap for Jan. 2, 2012, episode of Raw or, appreciating a late Christmas gift
Due to the reception 7 Tenets received, I decided to make my presence here at Cageside somewhat consistent. I want to write in a way that hasn't really been done before, a different voice then what you are used to hearing. This will be one of (hopefully) many features here on Cageside. There ...
(12/12-12/18) Week Review: The Good, The Bad, and The Gobbledy
The Good – WWE Champions; Punk, Bryan, Ryder, Rhodes, Air Boom, and Beth Phoenix After last night the WWE has a set of champions that are all solid in my eyes. We have yet to see how Bryan and Ryder handle being champs, but they definitely have momentum and the fans on their side to succeed....
Reality Era: Is WWE suspending the suspension of disbelief?
I prefer watching Monday Night Raw on Tuesday or Wednesday. Watching it on the DVR affords me advantages catching it live does not, such as the ability to go in depth with the program. I've just started watching this past Monday night's episode and I have yet to get all the way through it. In...
WWE Raw last night (Dec. 5) was better than it's getting credit for
Editors note: This is a well written FanPost and one that presents the flip side of the argument that Raw last night was booked poorly. Promoted to the front by CagesideSeats.com. Watching Raw last night (Dec. 5, 2011), I was thoroughly enjoying myself and saw a lot come together. I was shocked...
