What do you think of when you hear Hell in a Cell? Does your mind automatically go back to June 1998 and the immortalised image of Mankind being hurled from the structure through the commentary table as Jim Ross makes the greatest call in pro-wrestling history? Or is your primary recollection that of the inaugural HiaC bout featuring Shawn Michaels and Undertaker tearing the house down in October of 1997? |

If there's one thing from the WWE I always look forward to it's their CD releases. For the most part the CD's are beacons of excellent design containing an eclectic selection of music. What I love about the CD releases is that it gives lesser known bands a chance to showcase their talent and give them some exposure... |

There was realistically no way that this show could top the spectacle that was UFC 100, however the 08/08/2009 show from a packed Wachovia Center did exceed some expectations and proved to be a memorable debut for the group in Philadelphia. Most importantly coming out of the show it was firmly established that Anderson Silva and B.J. Penn are legitimate PPV draws as well as undeniable killers in their respective divisions... |

In his first interview since his WWE release on January 17, Eric Alexander Pérez aka Eric Escobar lends his thoughts on his release, a potential future in TNA, his time in the WWE, and his future in the wrestling business; all in a Wrestling101.com exclusive interview... |

Like the previous month's Extreme Rules, WWE tweaked the name of 2009's event, removing the words Great and American and leaving us with a PPV simply called The Bash. I actually prefer the new title (reasons for the alteration are rumoured, but the one I believe is to do with making the event more palatable to the overseas markets) and think is simply rolls better off the tongue... |

The country vs. country concept provided a shot in the arm for The Ultimate Fighter in many respects. The inherent rivalry in presenting the show in such a way added an increased sense of importance over which team would come out on top. This was greatly assisted by the underlying conflict that would develop between the coaches which at times played off a classic pro-wrestling style dynamic with the cocky heel, Michael Bisping and the All American good guy, Dan Henderson... |

TNA have started 2010 with a bang. Their big January 4th Impact began a new era within the company, with legend Hulk Hogan at the helm. They welcomed back the likes of Scott Hall, Sean Waltman and Jeff Hardy and said hello to the former Val Venis and Mr Kennedy. Certainly the future looks to be an exciting one for wrestling’s number 2 organisation. So I thought what better way to get myself acquainted with the company than by attending their house show in Bournemouth last week... |

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... |

The tagline was ‘making history’ and that is exactly what UFC 100 did. The June 11th 2009 show drew a rabid 10,871 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... |

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... |
