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 enjoy the WWE a lot more with the extra time given to the remaining Raw roster. Read the rest of this entry »

I was disappointed with this week’s edition of RAW. It seems to me that RAW is starting to head down a steady decline heading back to where it was before the Draft. I hope I am wrong, but areas of RAW are starting to become bland again. Read the rest of this entry »

After Hell in a Cell between Edge and a returning Undertaker was announced for SummerSlam, I knew I had to order it. In my mind, I think the Hell in a Cell Match was worth the $39.95 I paid. I knew that it would be good, but it turned out to be an epic. I will get to that after I give my opinions on the rest of the card. Read the rest of this entry »

In WWE’s efforts to “clean up” the roster, they have released five more WWE Superstars and a WWE Referee. None of these releases come as a major surprise and I support all of them, because it means they are getting rid of the old and pretty much useless and, hopefully, bringing in some new talent.

Combining a roster of recognisable talent who had moved on from well known organisations and developing their own talent, the company soon built a solid following in Tennessee.

I opted to post a blog before RAW so that I can focus on a few different topics, rather than posting one while my brain is flooded with what happened on RAW. RAW tends to be pretty eventful every week, so I will also be posting a blog after tonight’s RAW. Read the rest of this entry »

I decided to post a little bit of a special edition of the CBlog. In the past two days, WWE has released seven different superstars and I thought I would offer my thoughts on the released… Read the rest of this entry »

Before I get started, I just wanted to note that in the blog I posted Saturday Night (August 2) I expressed my displeasure of not seeing Triple H heavily involved in his title feud with Khali. However, it did not cross my brain waves until Monday that Triple H was spending time with his wife Stephanie and their new child. I have the memory of a 90 year old. Read the rest of this entry »
