So word from the newsies is that Cena’s show-ending promo from Raw went over about as well backstage as John Laurinaitis’ old dress code policy did. In other words, to Cena’s peers, his promo was garbage. To me, it was actually one of his less-annoying promos in recent times. Sure, he was a little off subject and irreverent, but Continue Reading...

Just 5 more days from one of my favorite PPVs (a show I love so much and appreciate the history of, I even wrote this piece that runs today), so all Curtain Jerkers going forward will be based around said show. Real cut and dry: what is your favorite memory of the Royal Rumble match?...
Headlies: Zack Ryder is Counting on his Name in Lights
0 Submitted by Travie Yak on Tue, 22 January 2013, 09:00Zack Ryder recently ended his YouTube show, “The Z! True Long Island Story”, after one hundred episodes. We sent someone out to interview him on the subject, but when our interviewer came back he had a much more interesting story to tell. “The interview was going fine, everything was normal, until I mentioned the number ‘100’ and, suddenly, Zack went Continue Reading...

8:00: The annual MLK acknowledgement plays, although I notice Vince no longer dubs over the tribute. Geez, the election left some people bitter. 8:02: Heyman and Vickie are here to make sure the crowd is nice and agitated for when Punk comes out, in their continuing goal to ensure the fans can’t cheer for who they like. If Vince ran Continue Reading...
Vince Chooses the Hall of Fame Class (A Justin Henry Parody)
15 Submitted by Justin Henry on Mon, 21 January 2013, 13:00Alright, so we know we’re going with Mick as the headliner for the Hall of Fame. All we need now are five or six more people that aren’t on bad terms with us, disqualified because their spouse is bitter at us for how they died on the job, or committed a crime heinous enough that FOXNews and CNN are going Continue Reading...

Headlies: Ryback Takes Inspiration From Honey Boo Boo
7 Submitted by Michael Dunlap on Mon, 21 January 2013, 10:00 Photoshoppery by The Hawaiian Hammer Wearing a skin-tight onesie…er singlet…and screaming “FEED ME MORE” seems more akin to a two-year-old trapped in a playpen than a hulking behemoth trapped inside the squared circle. There’s a reason for that – it was the inspiration for Ryback’s new attitude. Many think that Ryback is an offshoot from Goldberg, but those Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube Classic: “Diamond” Dan Garza!

Check out the Splendid Gem taking on the Snowman, who unfortunately is not portrayed by Jerry Reed. I sure hope Miss LA (that would be LAURA ANGELIQUE) doesn’t see that chick in the bikini leading you out to the ring, pally. Oh, and fellow Crappers, Continue Reading...
Assuming CM Punk drops the WWE Championship to The Rock in six days at the Royal Rumble, his reign counter will expire at 434 days. Or, 1 year, 2 months, and 7 days, if you wish to be fancy about it. We as fans do ask for longer reigns, sometimes, so that the championship means more when the titleholder Continue Reading...

Oh yeah, time for my favorite 30 minutes of the week (that have anything at all to do with wrestling): SATURDAY MORNING SLAM! As I recall, last week was an acceptable show, but it was lacking a bit in the goofball department which I’ve come to expect from this show. Here’s hoping that we get some of that this week. Immediately Continue Reading...
Classic Induction: Gary Spivey: Here “ESP” Means “Extra Sucking Power”
4 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Sat, 19 January 2013, 22:58WCW, Mid 90’s As you might expect, what with his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame this weekend, Paul Orndorff was one of the biggest stars in all of pro wrestling for much of the 80’s. The self professed “Mr. Wonderful” did incredible business in 1986 when he turned his back on Hulk Hogan in one of the greatest Continue Reading...

You know how Episode 5 was the best of the Star Wars series? Yeah, that’s NOT the case here. We went into the show with the idea of giving our picks for the AFC-NFC Champeenships. We somehow wound up on Fantasy Booking Island 2013. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!...

Headlies: Wrestlers Secretly Rolling Up New Gimmicks
4 Submitted by Travie Yak on Fri, 18 January 2013, 10:00When Kane and Daniel Bryan became tag team partners it was assumed by most fans that the writers simply had nothing for them but, according to Daniel Bryan, that’s simply not the case. “Actually, it’s not as random as you would think”, Daniel Bryan said in a candid interview on a local morning radio show. “Kane and I have been Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube Classic: WWF European Rampage on the Amiga
7 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Fri, 18 January 2013, 09:00I thought I knew of pretty much every WWF video game ever made, but even I didn’t recall this one. And I’d remember playing something that looked as horrible as this! I also hope I’d remember a ring THAT freakin’ big. And what’s this? SEAN MOONEY! MUST DOWNLOAD AMIGA EMULATOR IMMEDIATELY!...
So the big swerve during the Bully Ray/Brooke Hogan wedding is…..Taz objected, and joined Aces & Eights. And…..I got nothing. I dug Taz’s schtick when he was in ECW; he was believable as a snarling pit fighter, even with his diminutive height. But other than his little one-move-match with Lawler at One Night Stand 2006, Taz hasn’t wrestled in Continue Reading...

Well, I suppose you could top them with chocolate syrup, but that would be a little weird… Anyway, thanks for the submission, Newt! Game over man! Game over! (Sorry, I couldn’t resist)....
Someone simply posted on Twitter, “Go to WWE.com and search for ‘the diva who had sex with everyone on the roster” That result above is what came up.

21 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 17 January 2013, 20:00WWF, 1999 Long-time fans of wrestling will often criticize today’s PG-TV WWE product as being too tame, boring, and not nearly edgy enough to harken back to the glory days of the Attitude Era. To be sure, that era of wrestling featured the gritty persona of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, the over-the-top antics of D-Generation X, and the cooler-than-thou promos Continue Reading...
