The WWE has been trying really hard to make the Holiday Season particularly exciting for long-time fans. Last week we got the greatest documentary they’ve ever produced with Greatest Rivalries: Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart and today we get Stone Cold Steve Austin: The Bottom Line on the Most Popular Superstar of All Time available at the WWE Shop. The video is a comprehensive look at Austin’s career and it has his biggest matches and dozens of classic moments. Read the rest of this entry »

After both DMX and Sheek Louch referenced infamous Hall of Fame wrestler Bob Backlund during Ruff Ryders’ “World’s Greatest” comeback track, we were reminded the WWF Superstar-turned-wannabe-politician had actually been referenced more than a few times in rhymes. So, as a treat for our scatterbrained audience, we’ve taken the liberty of compiling quotables from some of Hip-Hop’s elite, speaking on none other than the king of the Crossface Chickenwing himself.

Nintendo’s 64 bit answer to Playstation and Sega Saturn hit ‘96 louder than a sonic boom, rendering a generation of future leaders to gaming zombies at all hours. While its library didn’t hit you with tons of releases every month like the PS, the system still had its fair share of landmark titles and hidden gems alike all while leaving thousands of those weird three-pronged controllers in its wake.

As the 9/11 memorials and tributes roll along this weekend, the sports channels will undoubtedly discuss the way the NFL and the World Series were used to restore normalcy and pride to the country. However, the first major public gathering in the company came just two days after the tragedy came when the WWE held a live airing of its Smackdown! show. Read the rest of this entry »

Ten years ago, Vince McMahon bought his main competition, WCW, after a long bout over TV ratings, talent and PPV buys. Fast forward to now and Vince is the lone wolf, essentially holding a monopoly over the wrestling business. His closest competition is Impact Wrestling, a horribly managed organization that is nowhere near Vince’s level, but it may pose the biggest threat to his company and wrestling as we know it. Here’s why. Read the rest of this entry »

Let’s get the sad part out of the way: Macho Man died this morning after suffering a heart attack while driving, first reported by TMZ and confirmed by the Florida Highway Patrol. His truck veered into oncoming traffic and he died from wounds suffered during the car crash. Clown if you want, but I grew up on wrestlers like Macho Man and the news is damn tough to hear.

If you’re familiar with the concept of WWE’s Tough Enough, you’ll know that it’s generally a pretty boring reality show about people that want to be wrestlers. When the WWE restarted the franchise this year, they attempted to remedy the issue of the show’s monotony by making “Stone Cold” Steve Austin the host. Read the rest of this entry »

Life is easier when you compartmentalize. Keeping things separate keeps them simple. I like my wrestling in one corner and my Hip-Hop wayyyy over there over yonder and across town. When the two meet, it’s never pretty yet people still try to make it work for some reason. The most recent attempt comes from the not-fake-at-all Urban Wrestling Federation.

Last night was the WWE’s final big sell before WrestleMania XXVII and it was awesome. The major event of the night was seeing The Rock and John Cena in the ring face to face for the first time ever. Read the rest of this entry »

Wow, that was embarrassing. John Cena promised the world that he would deliver the final knockout blow to The Rock on RAW yesterday. Good gracious, he totally tanked. Instead of addressing Rocky in “rap”, Cena said he’d address him in “Hip-Hop”. Read the rest of this entry »

John Cena put forth a valiant effort last week, but this is just getting unfair. The Rock is so far out of John Cena’s league that, at this point, it’s in the WWE’s best interest to make Rocky stop talking until WrestleMania. Read the rest of this entry »
