It will be a sad day for this Wrestling Geek when the Philadelphia Spectrum is demolished. I saw my first professional wrestling show there on my 8th birthday. I don’t remember much from this show. I do remember standing for the whole Hogan VS Macho Man match and Miss Elizabeth slapping Macho Man at the end of the show. I also bought a foam 2X4 with Hoooooooo! written on it.

I really can’t believe it. I CAN NOT BELIEVE the WWE has now introduced another car crash storyline. The worst part about all of this is that the WWE is going to ahead with the angle saying that Cena was only grazed by the car…that clearly would have killed him.
Professional wrestling story telling is at its best when it is based in reality. I am going to blow a fuse when I turn on RAW next week and Cena comes running down the ramp with a giant band-aid on his head…and we are suppose to... Read Full Story
Below is the part of the speech that Bret Hart ripped into wrestling writer Greg Oliver:
I know this isn’t my place to gripe about stuff, but I have a serious issue with people who write books about wrestling who don’t honor the truth.

I feel bad for CM Punk. I know he just cashed in “money in the bank” to became World Heavyweight Champion, but there was some truth in what JBL said to Punk about him being a “paper champion” for defeating a helpless Edge in just seconds.
Let me rephrase…I am happy for CM Punk, but the WWE messed this one up and missed out on making big money!
