During a recent article on WWE being kicked out of the Pepsi Center the columnist ended the article with this little tidbit:
Little more than a month ago, the WWE took in $52 million staging WrestleMania 25 in Houston, making it the highest-grossing one-day entertainment event so far this year. Judging by the applause, the crowd’s [...]

Just recently Marvel comics interviewed “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels. The interview reinforced my belief that there is a strong correlation between wrestling fans and comic book fans, as Daniels cited Samoa Joe, Raven, Frankie Kazarian, and Alex Shelley as fellow comic book fans in Total Nonstop Action (TNA). It’s been known that TNA’s Kevin [...]

I recently talked about my thoughts of having ECW on Sci-Fi. Since that time ECW has surpassed Sci-Fi’s expectations. ECW was expected to do a 1.4 in the ratings, and has averaged 2.3. Not too bad I’d say.

Well it’s official, after a six year absence Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) is officially back. So what network is going to air ECW? Sci Fi.
Now, one might wonder why there is wrestling on a network dedicated to science fiction. Then again, one might also wonder why there are live action tv shows on a cartoon [...]

Professional wrestler Johnny Grunge died on Thursday from sleep apnea. Grunge was the remaining half of the tag team Public Enemy (his tag team partner Rocco Rock died in 2002). Grunge is the first professional wrestler to die since the recent death of Eddie Guerrero. Unlike Rock and Guerrero, Grunge’s death was in no way [...]
