Now That's What I Call Wrestling
Now That's What I Call Wrestling #5: The Draft
by TheBigBoot on 29 June 2008
It has been six years since WWE made the decision to separate its roster in two with the ‘Brand Extension’. Just over a year after the collapse of ECW (February, 2001) and buying out top competitor WCW (March, 2001), the promotion was filled with talent new and old. Since Raw and SmackDown! tended to feature the same wrestlers, the idea was that by allocating half the roster to each show it would allow more wrestlers more time to be on television and thus enable the creation of new stars...

Now That's What I Call Wrestling #4: All Grown Up
by TheBigBoot on 15 April 2008
WrestleMania has been and gone. The biggest event of the wrestling calendar has taken place and we now have to wait another year for the next one. Whilst that WrestleMania aura is still in the air, I thought I would do as I did with the Royal Rumble, and look back at last year’s WrestleMania and see how 2007’s version holds up one year later...

Now That's What I Call Wrestling #3: Fourteen Rumble Appearances You Never Thought You’d See
by TheBigBoot on 10 February 2008
In my first article I talked about ‘Unpredictability in Wrestling’. In my second I talked about the previous year’s Royal Rumble. Well, the result of this year’s Royal Rumble will go down as the most unpredictable yet...

Now That's What I Call Wrestling #2: WWE Royal Rumble 2007
by TheBigBoot on 27 January 2008
With the Royal Rumble just around the corner I thought I’d look back at last year’s event and see how much things have changed in the last twelve months…

Now That's What I Call Wrestling #1: Unpredictability in Wrestling
by TheBigBoot on 27 November 2007
Welcome to the debut of Now That’s What I Call Wrestling. Now for those of you who don’t know me I am your new hero, your party host and most importantly the most charismatic showman to ever enter your living rooms via a television screen. In this column I’m going to look at unpredictability in wrestling, with relation to the current scene.

 | CBlog XXVIII- No Mercy, RAW and Cyber Sunday
By Cassidy Haslett on 8 October 2008 |
| I know it’s been a little while since I’ve done a blog, but I’m back to give my thoughts on No Mercy, RAW, and the upcoming Cyber Sunday pay-per-view on October 26 (which, coincidentally, is CM Punk’s birthday and he is also the featured star on the poster).
Let’s start with this past Sunday’s No Mercy [...] |
| | CBlog XXVII- RAW, SmackDown and No Mercy
By Cassidy Haslett on 18 September 2008 |
| I did not post a blog last week because I did not feel that RAW was really worth posting a blog about. It was okay, but nothing much to discuss. This week, there is a bit more to discuss and I also wanted to provide my thoughts on SmackDown and the current line-up for No [...] |
| | CBlog XXVI- Thoughts on WWE Unforgiven 2008
By Cassidy Haslett on 9 September 2008 |
| The 10′th WWE Unforgiven in Cleveland was just awesome and worth the $39.95 I paid. Sure, every match was not great, but I look at the overall when I judge a pay-per-view. Here are my thoughts on Unforgiven:

| | CBlog XXV- WWE RAW, Rey and Unforgiven
By Cassidy Haslett on 2 September 2008 |
| RAW was average to me this week. Granted, it may have been better had there not been spoilers on every single wrestling site or in every wrestling email I got after RAW was taped this past Sunday. It was nice to see Randy Orton make an appearance on RAW, even though it would have been [...] |
| | CBlog XXIV- WWE RAW, Unforgiven & Cena?s Injury
By Cassidy Haslett on 26 August 2008 |
| Let me start off with the unfortunate news - John Cena has a severely herniated disc in his neck and will require surgery, leaving him out of action, indefinitely. The probability of him making another early return seems very unlikely. With Cena gone from television for who knows how long, I for one will certainly [...] |
