CODY DEANER INTERVIEW
“I hope for the company, for my friends, for the fans, and for the business as whole – I hope TNA continues to move onward and upward. This business needs a shot in the arm. I hope this is it…”
WCW ONE NIGHT STAND
“I interviewed Mick Foley several years back, and he said that when he turns up on an indy show, people think he’s ‘keeping it real’, when Hogan turns up on one, you assume he must owe someone some serious cash…”
HOGAN’S FALSE HOPE
“AJ Styles has been pushed to the top for years. And AJ has never become THE man. And AJ will never be THE man. And AJ will never get to that next level for two simple reasons…”
TNA IS GONNA PARTY LIKE IT’S 1989!
“So TNA is putting its fate into the hands of a superstar well past his prime, who did his best work a decade or two ago. Sit down Sting. No, not you Steiner. Or you Nash. Back off, Booker…Getting crowded in here!”
WHY SHEAMUS‘S CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN IS GOOD FOR WRESTLING
“The next time there’s a tournament, a battle royal, or even a major match in which a dark horse is entered, fans might not be so quick to rule out that long shot…”
DESMOND WOLFE INTERVIEW
“Fast forward to January and Wolfe finds himself back in England for a TNA tour that will see him receive two shots at the TNA World Heavyweight title held by AJ Styles. He’s got a few problems though has Mr, Wolfe. “It’s miserable. Grey skies, rain and no offers of sex so far”…”
PROFESSIONAL DEBUT OF DARK KITTY!
“Little known to La Parka that happened to be the first kiss in Dark Kitty’s young life!…”
WWE DECADE IN REVIEW: 2000 TO 2004
“But the final nail in the coffin became official when on March 3 Paul Heyman debuted on Monday Night RAW as the colour commentator, while still wearing an ECW ball cap…”
BOGUS AWARDS: WHY YEAR END AWARDS ARE LESS THAN ACCURATE
“Until you have witnessed every good match that took place IN THE WORLD in 2009, then it’s difficult to fully justify voting for a match or performer as the best in 2009…”
UNDERTAKER VS SHAWN MICHAELS: PART 2
“Everyone wants to see another classic, but that is what constantly happens with sequels, they just doesn’t live up to the original that came before them…”
LACK OF DIVERSITY IN WWE
“The truth is that there isn’t a wrestler outside of the current main event scene that is capable of carrying the company…”
TO PG OR NOT TO PG
“Back when he was Cactus Jack in WCW, I loved him and his little ‘bang bangs’ yet what he became just spiralled out of control…”
THE IMPACT OF BRET HART
“The opening of Raw was one of the most heartfelt moments that WWE have presented in the past few years; it was something that nobody ever thought they would see, Hart and Michaels finally buried the hatchet….
“INTRODUCING TEAM BLOSSOM
“There have been some extremely talented people who have held the OVW Women’s Title, girls who we have enjoyed watching and learning from, so of course it’s an honour to have our names added to that list…”
DAVE MASTIFF PROFILE
“The facilities here at OVW are tremendous; people don’t appreciate facilities like this often. I certainly never had anything remotely similar when I started back in the UK.”
