Wrestling seems to be divided into three main different groups of fans (I’m sure there are other groups that prefer a different brand than the big two as well, but I want to focus on these three): 1) AEW…

Well in this article I will discuss their history with each other, what led to the tour and give my opinions on why this failed. It is the tour that everyone involved wants you to forget that it ever happened. Much like Hogan’s match with Paul Wight in Memphis in 2007, it is a story in the chapter of Hogan’s career that exposed his drawing power was not what it used to be. Between the two of them, Flair…

That night’s Raw featured the standard opening of in tribute that WWE typically does when a legend passes away, but in addition all through the night the wrestlers of today that were fans of Scott Hall growing up and were inspired by him paid…

This is an article I never thought I would be writing in all honesty because I never thought he had this type of run in him, but I’m so happy to have been wrong. Don’t get me wrong, I always liked Zack Ryder/Matt Cardona, but if you would have asked me years ago could I see him having anywhere close to the run he is having now, I would have said no way. The one thing I always liked and respected about Matt Cardona is his passion for wrestling and his hustle by trying to get himself over even when…
