5 Predictions for Who Brock Lesnar Should Fight at WrestleMania 29
On May - 29 - 2012
A decade ago, a man named Brock Lesnar exploded into the WWE scene, where he was given the nickname “The Next Big Thing,” and it fit perfectly. Less than six months after his debut, Lesnar would go on to become the King of the Ring winner and become the youngest WWE Undisputed Title at SummerSlam in 2002 (a record that has since been broken). He would go on and headline WrestleMania 19 that same year. All of this occurred during his rookie year. Lesnar would spend the next year almost always in the world title picture, and the fans were ...

WWE Title Picture; How to Make the Championships Relevant in 2012
On May - 29 - 2012
Now that John Laurinaitis has control over both Raw and Smackdown, coupled with the lack of upper middle card talent, it would make sense to restructure the WWE title picture. The only belt with any meaning behind it is the WWE Championship. The once prestigious World Heavyweight Title is a shell of its former self. That’s not to take anything away from Sheamus, but when the biggest match of the year is an 18-second squash match, there is a problem. Now it worked out because it helped Daniel Bryan get over huge with the fans, but that was obviously not ...
WWE News: Smackdown Rating Continues to Disappoint on Friday Nights
On May - 29 - 2012
Smackdown has been a pretty good show the past few months. The only issue I see is that so many new talents are on the Blue Brand without much to do. While that may or may not be the reason for recent ratings slump, it is still worth noting. This past Friday's show drew a 1.8 rating with 2.63 million viewers. My Thoughts on This News With the Raw rating being delayed this week due to the holiday, it is time to look at how well Smackdown is performing on television. Needless to say, it is very disappointing to see the rating ...

That match ended in a no contest.It is interesting to note that the WWE title has only ...
Over the past couple months the WWE has debuted several new superstars, but perhaps none has been more intriguing than Damien Sandow. His character is that of a refined and snobbish scholar whose goal is to enlighten the ignorant masses and to rid the WWE of unsophisticated things.After weeks of vignettes in which he denounced social media and pop culture, Sandow debuted on SmackDown. Although he has had only one match to this point, there is no shortage of opinions from the WWE Universe about exactly how far Sandow can go.Keep reading for the first in a daily series of ...
