The Unauthorized History of D-Generation X is the first WWE autobiography released in a PG environment despite the subject matter extensively being marred in so much un-PG rated material. DX, as you probably know - if you’ve had any sort of knowledge of the WWE in the past decade or so - are a group that originally formed from remnants of the Kliq, a backstage group that consisted of Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Scott Hall, Sean Waltman and Kevin Nash... |

A lot of people will have written off 12 Rounds simply on the basis it's from WWE Studios. Others, unaware of Vince's non-wrestling project, will simply dismiss it because it stars “that wrestler guy”. These assertions are unfair, as it creates a judgemental attitude before the opening credits have begun running... |

This was always going to be a hugely ambitious project and, in this case, it doesn't quite come off. The first issue is with the hosts, Miz & Morrison. Now, don't get me wrong, both guys are great talkers and were a fantastic team, but that's the problem, they WERE a fantastic team. Having a collection centred around the greatest tag teams of all time hosted by a team no longer together just doesn't seem to sit right... |

And so once again I grace you’re computer screens to retrospectively review an old wrestling autobiography that seems to have largely fallen into obscurity with wrestling fans. This pick is “It’s True, It’s True!” by none other than Kurt Angle, everyone’s favourite American hero/braggart. On paper this sounded like a great read - Kurt Angle has certainly had a stellar life... |

With just six months until the spectacular that is Wrestlemania 26, both Vince McMahon’s creative team and ardent WWE fans are turning their thoughts to which bouts will take place on that sparkling night in Arizona. Therefore, David Ruse has pitched in with his thoughts and listed a smorgasbord of matches he hopes to see grace the March extravaganza... |

Smackdown, the WWE “B” show, reaches double-digits and the company is going all out to celebrate that fact. As I write this, the special broadcast of the show is getting set to air this Friday, the latest video game to carry the name is due to be in stores in three weeks time and, in my hand, I have this, a three-disc look back at the top 100 moments in the show's history... |

A lot of people are dismissive of the “B-level” pay-per-views, but you usually get at least two or three good bouts and a few decent ones as well. Judgement Day 2009, on paper, looks to have one of the better cards for a non-Big Four event. The Chicago crowd also deserve a heap of credit for being up for it pretty much from the first blast of the opening pyro... |

Jeff’s departure has rendered the WWE a one-Hardy zone so with his sibling out of the way is it time for Matt to step out of the darkness, mirror his brother and reach the pinnacle of his profession? |

Let us rejoice, the Heartbreak Kid is back. After a lengthy hiatus following his dazzling display against the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 25, Shawn Michaels has returned to inject some life into a floundering Monday night Raw. He will bring ratings, razzamatazz and wrestling excellence aplenty but can the much-loved star generate something even better - a fifth world title reign? |

The Royal Rumble is my favourite WWE PPV, so this Tagged Classics collection was one I looked forward to reviewing. The first disc takes us back eight years to 2001 and the beginning of the “Road to WrestleMania”. This era was brilliant and little things like the Attitude Era opening to WWF programming, cutting to WWF New York, Earl Hebner in a WWF's referee shirt and the wrestlers who were around at the time all add up to a nostalgia trip that never gets old.... |
