  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI0jj85QX9I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQQ3ZPHF0xg This match has a little bit of it all and features four guys who though brought up wrestling stateside seemed quite at home working in Japan.

  2012 looks to be a great year for WWE pay-per-views if the second half lives up to what the first half produced. Over the Limit presented surprises, two legitimately great matches and even a little bit of comedy. The opening… Read More ›

  http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqvgim_bryan-danielson-vs-cm-punk_sport?search_algo=1 From the glory days of IWA: Mid-South before it degenerated into Ian Rotten merely cheating a bunch of no-name “talent” on pay after they nearly kill each other.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0Lm12C7h2Q I’ve always found Brock Lesnar’s stint in NJPW underwhelming, but that is only in comparison to his initial run in the WWE. In this match he attempts to F-5 Akebono, who weighed roughly 500 pounds minimum at the time…. Read More ›

• TNA Sacrifice (2012) Review

  By danielcarljohnson on May 17, 2012 • ( 0 )

  

  This past Sunday’s TNA Sacrifice pay-per-view had its moments despite the show generally marking a drop-off in quality from last month’s Lockdown event. The opener was a little underwhelming because of it having little, if any real storyline. Interestingly enough… Read More ›

• Dave Meltzer vs. Dana White

  By danielcarljohnson on May 16, 2012 • ( 0 )

  For a guy who is the president of a mammoth of a company like UFC, Dana White sure has thin skin when it comes to criticism. On Monday UFC uploaded the above video to its official YouTube channel. Rather than… Read More ›

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdDkWdkbWZA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWxjPgCnHiI As promised a little while ago, here is some classic women’s wrestling.

  Saw this pop up on my feed on Facebook (Brawlin’ Bo Cooper and I are Facebook friends) and thought I would share. Gangrel looks pretty good despite being on the wrong end of 40. He is not exactly Chris Jericho,… Read More ›
