2013 Wrestling Year-End Awards

2013 Wrestling Year-End Awards
December 31, 2013
By Ryan Porzl

It's that time of year again. It's the 2013 Wrestling Year-End Awards. I shall award both the best of the year as well as the worst of the year from both American and Japanese Wrestling. To quote film critic Gene Siskel said about the academy, the same is true for the wrestling magazines and newsletters. These are choices that they would give if they are as smart as I am (just kidding). My worst awards will be the same rules that Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert made years ago which is I won't pick on obscure wrestlers, matches, or promotions no matter how bad they are. I'll pick on the big visible ones since they're more likely to be seen by more people and therefore, cause more suffering.

Memo to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter and PWI Awards

Memo to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter and PWI Awards
November 28, 2013
By Ryan Porzl

It's that time of year. Around this time of year, Dave Meltzer and the Wresting Observer Newsletter as well as Pro Wrestling Illustrated begin to consider who should be nominated for their yearly awards. The great film critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert used to have a “Memo to the Academy” special where they bring up actors, actresses, and movies they believed deserved nominations in an attempt to influence the vote. I liked the concept and decided to steal it. I don't expect this to change anyone's mind but I'll still do it for fun. Think of this as me doing a charitable thing. Remember, the names on here are names of wrestlers that I think should get nominated but might be overlooked. Just because I don't put a name doesn't mean I don't think they or it should be nominated. More like, I think they definitely will be.

Beat Mortal Kombat 9 tonight. Enjoyable fighting game and a good story mode but it's also fucking frustrating at times. The AI is cheap and makes you want to punch the wall. Almost as frustrating as Dead or Alive 4.

Memo to the World MMA Awards 2013
September 30, 2013
By Ryan Porzl

It's that time of year. Around this time of year, the World MMA Awards from Fighter's Only Magazine begin to consider who should be nominated for their yearly awards. The great film critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert used to have a “Memo to the Academy” special where they bring up actors, actresses, and movies they believed deserved nominations in an attempt to influence the vote. I liked the concept and decided to steal it. Since the World MMA Award usually only nominate fighters associated with Zuffa and specifically the UFC, I don't expect this to change anyone's mind but I'll still do it for fun. Here are the people and personalities that I believe deserve nominations. I won't bring up a lot of UFC names since most of the deserving individuals will likely get nominated. I'm going to focus on other companies who will likely be overlooked. Note that the 2013 awards are for events that happened between September 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013.

30th anniversary of KISS' "unmasking"

On this day 30 years ago. KISS appeared "unmasked" on MTV. The moment marked the first time they showed their faces in public since around 1975 though the band first formed in 1973. Also I should point out, great that original MTV VJ the late, great JJ Jackson hosted it. Probably the best VJ.

Thoughts on Summerslam 2013

Summerslam was tonight and here's my thoughts. I must say I didn't see the Pre-show so I can't comment on the United States Title match.


Sunday, August 18, 2013

Beat Final Fantasy XIII-2 last night. Good game, had some improvements over XIII but some of the same problems I didn't like. Looking forward to the third game next year.

Monday, August 12, 2013

The G1 Climax concluded yesterday and I'm glad to say that Tatsuya Naito won the tournament. It was a very good move from New Japan as Naito is one of the brightest up and comers they have. I also like that he beat ace Hiroshi Tanahashi in the finals. By beating New Japan's ace, it definitely shows that Naito and the next generation are coming into their own. My only complaint is I wish Toru Yano did better and Karl Anderson & Shelton Benjamin were used as jobbers. Benjamin is stale and I never got what New Japan saw in Karl Anderson. New Japan could have done a little better booking but it still sounds like a good event.

Also, ZERO1's yearly fire festival round robin tournament ended on August 4th. The winner was the up and coming James Raideen. Raideen has achieved two firsts in the history of the fire festival. He's the youngest winner in history at 22 years old and is the first foreigner or gaijin to win the tournament as he's from New Zealand. Raideen also became the new ZERO1 World Heavyweight Champion due to his victory in the Fire Festival. Raideen is one of the more accomplished wrestlers competing in Japan over the past year. He won the ZERO1 NWA UN Championship in October, the ZERO1 Furinkazan Tag Team Tournament in December, and now both the ZERO1 World Heavyweight Championship & the Fire Festival. I'm glad to see this as Raideen is a talented up and comer & can be a great asset to Z1. Speaking of the WHC, would it kill ZERO1 to make a new belt instead of using an old AWA World Championship? Hell, is it too much to put some tape over the "AWA" letters and write "ZERO1" in black marker?

Today is the birthday of Vinnie Vincent who turns 61. Vincent was the second lead guitarist for KISS from 1982-1984, had his own band the Vinnie Vincent Invasion, and is one of the most underrated guitar players of all time.

Looking at MMA in August 2013

Looking at the month of August, the world of MMA will be pretty quiet. Sadly, many big names like Bellator, ONE FC, KSW, and ROAD FC are taking the month off. Thankfully, they will be back in the fall.

MMA Rankings are pathetic



This has been something that has bothered me for a long time. As many MMA fans know, most MMA websites have Top 10 & even have an "other contenders" list with 5 extra fighters. However, these rankings are clearly garbage as they're ridiculously biased towards UFC fighters and almost ignore other fighters. Sure UFC is the #1 promotion in the world but that doesn't mean they're fighters are the only good ones or relevant.

Kid Yamamoto Highlight


Masahiro Chono highlight

This is a highlight video of one of my favorite wrestlers: Masahiro Chono. A legend in Japanese Wrestling, Chono is best known for his time in New Japan from 1984-2010. There he was one of the top three stars of the 1990s along with Keiji "The Great Muta" Mutoh & Shinya Hashimoto. He was the New Japan IWGP Heavyweight Champion, a seven time New Japan IWGP Tag Team Champions, a record five time G1 Climax Tournament Winner, three time Super Grade/G1 Tag League Winner, and the 1987 Young Lions Cup Winner. Outside of his New Japan achievements he held the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, the WWA (World Wrestling Alliance) World Heavyweight Championship, and the NWA Central States Television Champion. Finally, he was also the leader of nWo Japan.

Wrestlers TNA Should Focus On In 2013


Wrestlers WWE should focus on in 2013

Wrestlers WWE should focus on in 2013
February 25, 2013
By Ryan Porzl

It's no secret the WWE has many great wrestlers on their roster. However, in recent years it's obvious the WWE has not used their roster to their full potential. Tons of great stars have either been buried, wasted, or given half-assed pushes. Here's a list of names that the WWE should focus on in 2013.

Dolph Ziggler- Perhaps the best reason to get behind the Show-off is the fact he's been compared by many with WWE Hall of Famer: “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig. That should be nuff' said but there's more. Simply put, Ziggler has the whole package. He's an excellent athlete, he can bounce around like a superball, can cut a great promo, and has charisma. Overall at his best, Ziggler comes across as a star.

AJ Lee- WWE resident “crazy chick” had a colorful 2012 but she was still wasted. Unlike most WWE diva's, Lee has had history in wrestling as she was a trained wrestler who worked the independent circuit before making her way to the WWE. Unlike most of the diva's, AJ shows shat she can fly and deliver a style the diva's don't show. Best of all, she also has a gimmick. Outside of AJ, Diva's are usually generic “Loving life and having fun” babyfaces or “Conniving bitch” heels. AJ, meanwhile, is the crazy chick. Her gimmick of a being crazy and unpredictable is something not regularly seen in the diva's division.

Ezekiel Jackson- Jackson's not the most technical wrestler but he's a very good power wrestler. In this day and age, Jackson is a good hand to have since most of WWE's “big men” or “monsters” are in their 40s and well past their prime.

Drew McIntyre- Hard to believe that only 3-4 years ago, McIntyre was looked at by both fans and the company as a future star. Fast forward to 2013 and the WWE has seemed to have given up on him which makes no sense. McIntyre is another wrestler with all the tools. He's around 6'5, has a good look, charisma, can cut a promo, and can wrestle. Like Ziggler, when McIntyre is at his best, he comes across as a star. The WWE would be well-served to get him out of the 3 Man Band stable and get him back on track.

Cody Rhodes- Rhodes is an interesting case as the WWE seems to know he has potential. The problem sometimes isn't that he's not pushed but rather is saddled with horrible gimmicks. From his “Dashing” gimmick where he gave beauty tips to wearing a mask & believing himself to be disfigured to now growing a mustache and everyone mocking him over it; it just seems Rhodes can't catch a break. It would be nice to see Rhodes get a real gimmick and some credible wins in 2013. The sky's the limit, he just needs something to sink his teeth into.

Antonio Cesaro- While Cesaro is the United States Champion as of writing; the WWE can still do more for him. Like most champions, Cesaro doesn't seem to have many feuds all the while he's losing to main event wrestlers. The former Claudio Castagnoli could definitely benefit from a strong rivalry with a great opponent and not having to get squashed by main eventers.

Kaitlyn- Yes Kaitlyn is Diva's Champion as of writing but the WWE can still do more for the Hybrid Diva. While Kaitlyn has made a lot of improvement, she's still green and needs more experienced wrestlers to work with. If WWE is serious about it's women's division, Kaitlyn should be put in there with women who could mask her weaknesses. Feuds with Natalya and AJ Lee would be great for her. The matches would be good for her reign and the stories would make sense.

Damien Sandow- The intellectual savior of the masses is another up and comer to get behind. Sandow is a great heel and while he's no where near ready for a main event run, he would be great as the Intercontinental or United States Champion.

Daniel Bryan- While Bryan has been pushed in his WWE career, it's obvious the WWE could do more with him. It would definitely be nice to see Bryan be treated like he was when he was the “American Dragon” Bryan Danielson: “The Best Wrestler In The World Today!”. The WWE needs to ditch this stupid “YES! YES! YES!” and “NO! NO! NO!” idiot who's mocked as a goat. The WWE can get so much more out of Bryan than some comedy character.

Natalya- Perhaps the most wasted talent in the WWE (which says a lot), Natalya has beauty and is easily one of the best wrestlers on the roster period. Yet inspite of all that, she's been wasted for years. She's constantly used as a jobber who is forced to put over women with a fraction of her talent or love for the business. As if that wasn't bad enough, she's also been given several embarrassing gimmicks including a farting gimmick and being apart of a freakish trio with the Great Khali and Hornswoggle. If WWE was smart, then they would push Natalya and put her in a position she deserves. Either as champion or a top contender where she can wrestle with diva's like Kaitlyn and AJ who have talent.

The Shield- So far in 2013, the Shield have been booked great and hopefully it stays that way. The Shield consists of three talented performers who can go far. Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose have shown in the independent circuit to be phenomenal while Reigns shows potential. Best of all, the three work well together. They come across as a unit that works as a well-oiled machine. Rollins and Ambrose are great talents that more than make up for whatever Reigns may lack. On the other hand, while Reigns is green, he comes across well as the “muscle” of the group and the guy who is the big guns of the stable.

CM Punk- Yes Punk has held the WWE Championship for over a year. But he still had the most botched reign in WWE History. The WWE should continue to back Punk but if he gets the title back then he needs to be the guy. He shouldn't be second banana to John Cena or be given a lame heel turn. While it'll probably never happen, it would be nice if the WWE did give Punk a real run.
