"The Second Road was more brutal then the opening road, more trying. The giant coliseum of chains and steel is unforgiving of mistakes and arrogance. If the Devil's Playground had a throne, Shaitan's Playpen would be the heir." SmackDown's Elimination Chamber match as been the subject of controversy for a number of reasons.Two men, Mark Henry and Randy Orton, were taken out of the match for different reasons.Henry was written off TV to deal with injuries sustained over the past few months. After laying his hands on SmackDown general manager Teddy Long, he was suspended indefinitely. Orton was written off ...

THQ, the video game company responsible for 31 of the 50 video games WWE has ever produced, has been experiencing some trouble with their business lately.There have been announcements that THQ will be closing their branch in Japan at the end of this month. This has left a lot of questions as to the future of THQ and, with it, the future of WWE video games.THQ has had a long relationship with WWE in making their video games. The last game made by another company was WWF Attitude, released on multiple platforms from March to November 1999. WWE would shock ...

Wrestlemania season is now in full swing, and is it usually around this time of year that former/injured/awol superstars make their triumphant return to the WWE for a fat April paycheck.Since January, we have already seen the returns of Chris Jericho, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Triple H. (Yes, it still counts as a return even though it's his 5000th!)Now, by no means am I saying that I dislike the current WWE product or want a total upheaval of everything by bringing back every man and his dog who has ever competed (*Spoiler*—Al Snow does not appear in this article), ...

Elimination Chamber is tomorrow night, folks and that means only one little roadblock left until WrestleMania XXVIII and its month-and-a-half of pure excitement.I hope it passes by real fast because there has hardly been any emphasis on this show at all. The pay-per-view only has four matches advertised, to me that means WWE doesn't really care about it since the big one is coming.Here is a look at the current card:WWE championship chamberCM Punk vs. Chris Jericho vs. The Miz vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. R-TruthWorld Heavyweight championship chamber:Daniel Bryan vs. Wade Barrett vs. Santino Marella vs. Cody ...

While the WWE doesn't always hit the target on gimmick matches and events, that's exactly what they have done with the Elimination Chamber PPV. Think about it, we are twice treated to matches featuring six of the best superstars in the business, nothing is better than that. TLC Matches are loaded with spot fests, basically turning into one high risk move followed by another. That is reasonably fun at first, but it doesn't take long to get boring.Other events, such as Hell in a Cell have their brutality work against them. We know that a Hell in a Cell match is ...

Former diva Maria Kanellis has slammed Natalya Neidhart's controversial flatulence gimmick on WWE television in a recent radio interview, labeling it "direspectful" and a waste of the star's talents. Speaking to the Running the Ropes radio show (the interview begins at the 67-minute mark), the current ROH star was asked about her thoughts on the direction of the women's division in WWE, specifically Natalya's current character, which sees the third-generation diva develop a deeply embarrassing farting problem in various backstage segments on SmackDown. Talking about the angle, the former Playboy cover girl fumed: I think that it’s a complete disrespect to a girl (Neidhart) with talent to give her a gimmick that’s a farting gimmick! ...

Some astounding news, everyone: WWE's stale women's division finally has a fresh matchup!  You see, it was announced on last week's episode of Monday Night Raw that Beth Phoenix would defend her Divas Championship against Tamina Snuka in a match at the Elimination Chamber. Of course, the move was not unexpected: Phoenix and Snuka have interacted and clashed on various episodes of Raw and SmackDown over the past month, with Tamina often coming out on top.  When interviewed for WWE's new Youtube show Backstage Fallout last week, Phoenix (who won the Divas Title from Kelly Kelly back at October's Hell in a Cell pay-per-view and ...

Internet sensation Zack Ryder has gone from the WWE's United States Champion to Kane's personal punching bag in just a few short months, with much of his troubles due to John Cena.As the storyline goes, Kane has been punishing Ryder to anger Cena, but everything took an interesting turn when the Long Island-born superstar saw the kiss between love interest Eve Torres and his buddy Cena.It was easy to see during their promo together later that night on Monday Night Raw that Ryder isn't going to be accepting any apologies from either Eve or Cena, which leads to the possibility ...

With the Road to WrestleMania officially underway, extra scrutiny and attention is being paid to the WWE's B show, as fans try to conceive what the first half of WrestleMania will entail.The show's ever staggering ratings, and lack of creative concepts, have made for rather predictable programming the last few weeks. But this week's episode of SmackDown showed a possible glimmer of hope for this Sunday's Elimination Chamber pay-per-view and perhaps a exciting feud that could develop between two of the companies top talents.I had the opportunity to attend a SmackDown house show and the SmackDown taping in Fresno on ...

Chris Jericho will get his opportunity to capture gold at WWE Elimination Chamber on Sunday night at Raw’s version of the elimination chamber match. He will outlast CM Punk among others to be on top of the mountain headed towards WrestleMania 28. I wasn’t a fan of the silence he has showed since returning to the WWE, but he will be able to talk all he wants after winning what will be the best match of the card. CM Punk is a fantastic wrestler, Jericho is great, Dolph Ziggler, R-Truth, The Miz and Kofi Kingston are all formidable combatants in ...
