The Future of the Tag Team Division is in Good Hands

For years many people have thought that WWE's Tag Team division was a shell of it's former shelf. Because the WWE's tag division used to be very deep and full of various Tag Teams, but then everything changed. However, recently things have changed again and all of the sudden their is a renewed importance on the Tag Team division. One of the main reasons why the main roster's Tag team division is so deep again is because of the teams that came from NXT. The first team I will speak is Big Cass and Enzo Amore. These two guys are by far two of the most charismatic talents to come through WWE developmental in a long time. At first they were just an ordinary team that was thrown together by WWE, but they were given a chance to be something and they showed what they can do. I will admit before NXT moved to the Network I had no idea of anyone down in developmental which included Cass and Amore. But now that I have actually began watching NXT over the last year or so I can say that I have become huge fans of Amore & Cass, I also think that given the same chance on the Main roster these two could have a bright future ahead of them. Below is a video from their entrance in Albany & in San Jose at two NXT live events from this year. Let me just say that I haven't heard a crowd react this way to a tag team since the New Age Outlaws. The crowd says every word a long with him and that is incredible. I look forward to seeing what the future hold for Big Cass & Enzo.

ROH Live Specials Could be in the Works

As most fans know at this point ROH debuted on Destination America as the lead in to Impact Wrestling this past Wednesday. The network seems to want a new look for the show and now finally their will be an increase in production at ROH live TV tapings. I say finally because in from all of the people I spoke to the only issue they had with ROH is that the production value of the company doesn't seem to be that good, hopefully this is a step in the right direction for the company. Also it seems as though some live specials from ROH to air on Destination America. As of this writing it seems like there is talk of doing only one or two a year in terms of live specials. Honestly not enough information is known about this possible step right now to write to much about it. All I do know is that as long as Sinclair is ok with the live specials it would be an awesome opportunity for the company and the talent to get added exposure on National TV. Big growth could be in the future of Ring of Honor, well have to wait and see how things go.

Post Show Review: Money in the Bank 2015

I know that this is a day or so late, but it still made it to video. So give it a chance.

Another PPV has past which means another installment of the Post Show review this time for Money in the Bank. To keep this short I thought the PPV was good and the matches were nothing special for the most part. However, I do believe that John Cena vs Kevin Owens stole the show again as they had a great match tonight and were definitely the match of the night. The chemistry those two have developed is incredible. I also just want to mention that the tribute to Dusty Rhodes at the start of the show was great and whether it was planned or not them clapping to Dusty's music was nice touch, and I had tears in my eyes while I was watching it. What did you did you think of the PPV?

So Far Back Sunday: ROH Debuts on Sinclair Broadcasting

For this weeks edition of the So Far Back Sunday, I jump way back in time to the late summer of 2011 when ROH was sold to the television company named Sinclair Broadcasting. With Sinclair ROH has been able to have a wider reach for the shows and thus has expanded the popularity of the company due to it's ability to reach a wider audience. However, this post isn't just about ROH being sold to Sinclair it is more so about the night that ROH ran their first show on the TV station. As certain things changed other then ownership of the company these things included, a new announce team, a new TV champion on this show was crowned, and who could forget this was the last show for one of ROH's top teams. Things changed on that night in September 2011 in many ways for ROH and most of those ways were for the betterment of the company. Now please join as we take a trip back in the wrestling time machine to relive ROH's debut episode on Sinclair Broadcasting. Enjoy!!!\

Tonight ROH will return to TV under new ownership & on a new TV station with the Sinclair Broadcasting System. You will see tonight main event The Kings of Wrestling vs Wrestling Greatest Tag Team which will be the Kings last ROH appearance before going to the WWE. We will see the return of a former ROH world champion tonight as well. Bravados vs Future Shock (Cole & O' Riley) a feud that has been going on for a while now between two of the top young teams in wrestling comes to ahead tonight. A new broadcast team as both Hogwood & Dave is out giving Kevin Kelly the lead role at the table with an unknown partner or he might be solo.

Shoot of the Week: Lance Storm Shoots on WCW & Vince Russo

When Lance Storm debuted in the WCW in the summer of 2000 it wasn't without controversy in front of him from his departure from ECW. After the financial issues began and one to many checks bounced Lance went looking elsewhere for employment and found it in the WCW. Fact of the matter is that at first Storm looked to be one of the first new talents WCW was actually going to "push" until they messed that up and made Storm nothing more than a mid-carder who was under the glass ceiling. In ECW Lance had just been a two time Tag Team Champion (Once with Chris Candido & Once with Justin Credible). But within 6-8 months of being a apart of WCW Storm would become WCW Cruiserweight, Hardcore, & United States Champion. Storm would also become the first wrestler in WCW history to hold three titles all at the same time. Lance would rename each of the titles Canadian Heavyweight Championship, 100 kg and Under Championship, and Saskatchewan Hardcore International Title respectively. After Storm either vacated or lost all of the titles he wouldn't go on to have much success in the WCW, but would go on to have a very solid run in the WWE following the closure of the WCW in March of 2001. Also featured in the interview that I will not speak on is Lance Storm's opinion of certain members of the WCW booking committee during the time he was with the company; one of the name is included in the title but the other might surprise some people.

GFW Update: Television Contract

With the roster announcement now in the rear view mirror, now the last big announcement from GFW will be when they finally announce who they signed a TV deal with to air their show. Over the course of the last year or so it has seemed that next to who would be apart of GFW, the idea of what TV company they would end up on was just as heavily rumored. As of this writing there really isn't much known about the plans GFW has to air their show on TV, and it is a definite that GFW will be on TV. The apparent plan for Global Force Wrestling on TV is to shoot twelve to fourteen episodes. Currently word has it that Jeff has had conversations with Spike, CMT, WGN America, and Fox Sports 2. Now is it possible that Jeff has spoken other TV networks as well, absolutely but if he has it's been kept a secret. I for one don't care which channel Jeff ends up on I just hope I get the network on TV or have the ability to watch GFW on TV. Author's Note: Now I know that some people may be getting tired of waiting for everything when it comes to GFW, well all I have to say to that is sometimes waiting for something makes it more worth when it finally happens.

TNA: What's Wrong Now

Look before anyone starts saying all I am doing is bashing TNA, all I have to say to you is don't read the post if you don't like the title. I will never force anyone to click on any of my posts, because it's your decision to so not mine. Thanks!   As of now it is likely well known by fans that TNA had planned to tour China later this month, but at the last minute, literally like a few weeks before the tour was set to begin it was cancelled, because the potential tour promoter didn't make good on the financial end of the deal. Right now it seems talent's morale has once again hit rock bottom, because nothing seems to be going right for TNA when it comes to growing the company.    Currently talent are said to be extremely frustrated with the fact that the tour was canceled and they had only found out about the cancelation early last week which doesn't leave them much time to find replacement days for when they would have been working the tour. Some talents at this point are seemingly looking to jump ship for other companies, but are not having much success because Lucha Underground is in between seasons, WWE isn't interested in TNA for the most part and AAA isn't currently looking for more foreign talent for their roster. With this in mind the only possible place jump ship to would be GFW and ROH which I am not sure if either company is currently looking for talent or not. But this could be why TNA management has banned any TNA contracted talent from working for GFW in any form or fashion.       Rumor has it talent didn't even find out about the date Slammiversary would be held on from the company and that most talent found out about the date from online. This part of the story I am unsure to be true which is why I started it with rumor. Author's Note: Late last year when I found out about TNA moving to Destination America I thought that the move was just putting a band aid on a long term issue. Now less then six months into the contract problems don't seem to want to stop for TNA and things seem to be getting worse. Though a lot of different companies have gotten TV contracts over the last few months that doesn't mean TNA going under still wouldn't have an effect on the business. I still think it would hurt the business just maybe not as much as it would have previously.

Moment in Time 2: Austin 3:16 is Born

I have done this before and now it is time for another Moment in Time. The point of this is to look back at The Moments in Wrestling history that made you say this is why I love this sport. Next moment is one that many will never ever forget it happen June 23 1996 and is called by many as the beginning of the Attitude Era. I actually heard a story told by either Austin or someone who worked backstage at the time that this promo was never suppose to happen, but Austin went out and did the promo anyway.

Also as many people already know originally Triple H was pegged to win the King of the Ring, but didn't in the long run as punishment because of the Curtain Call incident earlier that year. Imagine if this promo never happened where would the WWE be right now.

The moment I am talking about is King of the Ring 1996 the promo that gave birth to the catchphrase "Austin 3:16 said I just Whip your Ass." That surely a moment that Wrestling fans especially those that saw what happened next will never forget: The Promo is below:

Who's Writing This: Conclusion

Sorry for taking so long to post this, but the end if finally here.

 It doesn’t matter the stigmas, it doesn’t matter, or the question I am proud to be a fan of this business. I look back at the last section I posted and I say to myself, I know a lot about wrestling and I am proud of that, I am proud of the fact that I can share my knowledge of wrestling with family and friends alike. I will always be proud of the fact that over the last 16 years I have become one of if not the biggest fan, you will ever meet in this world and the passion I have for this business is unbridled. You can call me a mark, a nerd, a loser, someone in need of a life; you can call me anything you want, but don’t be jealous I have a passion for something un-waivered and unmatched to anything in this world. I guess with what this post was about was not only fill you all in on Who’s Writing this, but also to fill you guys in on important this business is to me. Truth be told I love this business and am damn proud of the fact that I love this business and cherish the knowledge I have about it and continue to gain about it.

Jim Cornette & JJ Dillon Discuss Mid-Atlantic Wrestling

Over the course of history a lot of it gets forgotten, because nobody is there to tell the story. That is one of the many reasons why that I knew I had to have  a section on this site dedicated to the history of wrestling. Because I believe that if history isn't talked about it's forgotten and to much of the history of wrestling gets forgotten. Here and there you will see me posting videos/trailers of shoot interviews done by talent from a particular period in wrestling to try and help me give you all a little more information about a particular era of wrestling history. I am not going to talk to much about this and ruin it for you all, but I will say that both Jim Cornette & JJ Dillon have been  part of the wrestling business for a very long time and have an incredible knowledge of the business. I would say though this a trailer still the most interesting part of it has be when they talk about Jim Crockett Sr. Enjoy!!!!
