Iron Jung #4: Triple H - Played the wrong game?
by The Iron Jung on 6 May 2008
Now who watched Backlash? Come on hands up. I imagine a fair few of you. Not because the product is scintillating and you can’t even miss an episode of Heat. Why of course, it was free (for those of us in the UK) wasn’t it? And fair play to you for taking advantage. Stick it to the man. Yet I’m sure a lot of you groaned at the end of the event as we saw for the 117th time, Triple H begin another title reign, which will last what seems like forever. Before you say it though, I’m not going to go on a long rant about his boring counter productive promos from years ago or even how his ability to elevate stars is as good as Teddy Hart’s ability to keep a job. I’m actually going to go for a more well-rounded, civil and helpful approach...

Rey Mysterio: The Biggest Little Man DVD Review
by Draven Cage on 6 May 2008
The feature starts with a match from one of the greatest Pay-Per-Views in history; When Worlds Collide. The show was a AAA show promoted in conjuction with WCW (hence the title) and was a massive success. The six-man tag features a 19yo Rey Mysterio, Jr. (who had been wrestling for five years at this point) in his PPV debut and is a fantastic match to start us off with...

WWE Great American Bash 2007 DVD Review
by Draven Cage on 30 April 2008
The Great American Bash; a name once synonymous with the WCW and the NWA all the way back to the days of Jim Crockett, an idea by Dusty Rhodes and the last remnants of Vince McMahon's opposition, reduced, since 2004, to a B-level WWE pay-per-view that has been forgettable at best...

UK Scene #288
by Saz on 29 April 2008
Welcome back to the interactive UK Scene with your friendly neighbourhood Saz.
Sometimes I think the years just go in a blink of an eye, before I know it, the UK top 50 British wrestlers is upon us again, last year had some surprises (or wierd anomalies, depending on your point of view) and hopefully this year will once again show how you vote. The only conditions to voting are that they are actively working, they are of British or Irish origin and you are a memeber of the Talk Wrestling Online community...

The Iron Jung #3: Maybe It's Time To Tag Out: The Truth Behind WWE Tag-Team Wrestling
by The Iron Jung on 26 April 2008
After covering singles wrestlers over the past few weeks, I’d like to turn to that forgotten art in WWE wrestling. No not John Cena delivering serious promos, that remind you he’s not a poor man’s Bobby Davro. Or even Shawn Michaels, selling moves without looking like he’s covered in coiled springs. It’s the wonderful world of tag-team wrestling...

 | THWD: The case for a WWE off-season
By Tink Holloway on 3 May 2008 |
| My goodness, how long ago does Wrestlemania seem already!? Despite the WWE’s attempts to link everything they could at Backlash with WM24, the night felt far detached from the bright lights of the Citrus Bowl. It’s a shame that there is so little time to take in what happened at the biggest event of the [...] |
| | THWD: MMA and Wrestling?
By Tink Holloway on 25 April 2008 |
| I’d like to make a survey asking fans of professional wrestling why it is that they watch it. I wonder how many of them would answer because it’s a form of combat? I only wonder about this because over the last 3 or 4 years I’ve become increasingly perplexed at the close proximity of sports-entertainment [...] |
| | THWD: UK - The WWE?s nice little earner
By Tink Holloway on 18 April 2008 |
| Ever since I was very young and watched my first WWE (F as it was at the time) pay-per-view, Royal Rumble 1994, I had always wanted to see it live. The way Vince McMahon would assure everybody that the arena had gone cold when The Undertaker came out and the fan reaction to Bret Hart?s [...] |
| | KR: The Road to WrestleMania
By Robert Heard on 29 March 2008 |
| Right, well it is well known that I am a Puro writer and have never written on the subject of American Wrestling. But a Puro blog on the eve of WrestleMania seems wrong, not in the least because WrestleMania is not a Japanese event at all?HustleMania is but then the less said about that the [...] |
| | KR: The BIG Statement with a BIG Show
By Robert Heard on 29 March 2008 |
| So WrestleMania, the biggest event on the calendar for wrestling fans will be a huge event. It will be the second ever to be held completely outdoors. It is reported it will pump twenty five million into the local economy and bring 60,000 people to Orlando as well.
