Eddie Guerrero: 1967-2005
by Mitchell Jones on 14 November 2005
It’s already been said. Over and over again in every forum post, website article and chatroom conversation, the same message has come through loud and clear. It can’t be made any clearer, but it needs to be repeated over and over again until it settles in our minds and we can finally justify the events of this past weekend. Eddie Guerrero should not have died. Not this way. Not now...

PTTN: NWA-TNA #2
by Mitchell Jones on 6 April 2004
Last month, PTTN started talking about the history of NWA:TNA, covering the build up to the first two weeks of pay-per-view for the company. I left you by mentioning that two factors gave TNA the identity it needed and pushed it into a new direction. In this, part two, I will talk about both of these, and the impact they had on TNA as a whole...

PTTN: NWA-TNA #1
by Mitchell Jones on 9 March 2004
As a special treat for all, to make up for all the columns I've missed, I've decided to lock myself away in a dark room and for the next few weeks, in several unique, and hopefully informative parts, share with you the history of NWA:TNA. It's not totally in-depth, but it is a true account from many various sources of how the rise of TNA has come about. This week is part one, everything leading up to and including week one and two of Total-Nonstop Action...

Preach to the Nation #2
by Mitchell Jones on 30 November 2003
Wow, two weeks already? It's amazing how time flies when you're having fun. But alas, my break in Florida is over and its time for me to get back to work, producing W101's hottest rising column EVER!!! *cheap heat*. So as Bo Selecta would put it - "Lets get crackin' with the knackin'". This weeks chosen subjects are: Brian Pillman, MLW, and who WWE should fire…

Preach to the Nation #1
by Mitchell Jones on 30 October 2003
Welcome to the first of many a column from Mitchell Jones, who would be me. Over the next lifetime, I'll be compressing my thoughts on the US scene into one weekly page ready for you to print off when the toilet paper runs low. You could call it a random thoughts column, but to be honest, I'd rather call it a random thoughts column... with attitude!

 | 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.
