WWE Extreme Rules 2009 DVD Review
Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:12:00 -0500 - The One Night Stand name was officially dropped for the first time WWE deciding to go simply with Extreme Rules. In fairness it\'s a more logical title especially considering the origins of the previous name. As with 2008\'s event all the matches on the card were fought under various stipulations with only one of them being a stinker literally as well as figuratively one being passable and the rest varying from good to great to astounding...

UFC 100: Making History DVD Review
Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:52:00 -0500 - The tagline was making history and that is exactly what UFC 100 did. The June 11th 2009 show drew a rabid 10871 to the Mandalay Bay events centre and has gone down in the record books as the most successful UFC event in the promotions history. The show itself was littered with highlights and memorable scenes such as the absolute dominance of George St. Pierre the stunning knockout of Michael Bisping and the downright terrifying mauling Frank Mir received at the hands of former WWE champ Brock Lesnar...

The History of the WWE Royal Rumble
Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:27:00 -0500 - To begin the story of the Royal Rumble we need really to go back to late 1987 and the continuing rise of the Vince McMahon empire at the expense of anyone who got in his way Standing between Vince and further success was Jim Crockett and the NWA. Starrcade had been their biggest show and not just in arenas but on closed circuit too. The 1987 event was due to be their biggest ever with the show being held in Chicago and a main event between Harley Race and Ric Flair for the NWA Heavyweight Title with over 200 cable companies agreeing to put the show on PPV...

Blood and Bone DVD Review
Fri, 22 Jan 2010 15:15:00 -0500 - The movie opens with pre-credits scene showing a gang of prisoners led by the genuinely scary Kimbo Slice with genuinely scary bushy beard heading to the prison shower room to take out our hero after paying off an unseen guard. Now unless you haven\'t seen a movie before in your life you don\'t need me to tell you that the eight-strong team of hardened cons aren\'t successful otherwise we\'d have a short movie on our hands...

Death in Wrestling
Sat, 16 Jan 2010 20:44:00 -0500 - With the recent and completely unexpected death of Eddie Umaga Fatu rocking the wrestling business a familiar series of events unfolded. The usual fingers were pointed and the usual questions were asked was it steroids Was it recreational drugs Is Vince McMahon to blame Why is it just wrestlers who die before their time And so on and on and on...

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:55:00 -0500 - The promotions first foray into mainland Europe in June 2009 featured a stacked card that on paper promised much and for the most part delivered.

The Rise and Fall of WCW DVD Review
Sun, 10 Jan 2010 19:07:00 -0500 - The first thing that went through my mind when this retrospective look at WCW was originally announced was how great a job WWE had done with The Rise & Fall of ECW. If they could put out such a polished and well-researched look back at a small-time promotion that reached heights no-one ever thought it could just imagine what they could do with a promotion going back decades. The sad fact is that The Rise & Fall of WCW falls way way way short of its ECW equivalent... and that\'s a crying shame...

Hulk Hogan: My Life Outside the Ring Book Review
Mon, 04 Jan 2010 16:40:00 -0500 - I very much doubt that I need to explain to you who Hulk Hogan is considering the man is to wrestling what The Beatles are to music. But if you haven\'t been paying attention to his life in the past few years then this book will come as a surprise to you. To summarize Hogan\'s wife Linda left him after an affair became public and merely a fortnight after their son Nick had gotten into a car crash which reduced a family friend to permanent vegetative state. From there Hogan and Linda entered a bitter divorce battle while Nick Hogan was tried for his friend\'s injury as a result of the car crash...

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 20:22:00 -0500 - In todays age its fairly difficult to find anything to genuinely shock and excite a long-time wrestling fan. Yet this was it. Bret Hart a man who had frequently shown his disdain for both WWE and its hierarchy of Vince McMahon Shawn Michaels and Triple H was going to return as a performer. To older fans its truly sensational news enough to make the idea of watching Raw a chore to say the least a must see moment in the week again. For newer fans they may be wondering what all the fuss is about so Ill set the scene...
