A Potential Comeback That Wasn't To Be
A Potential Comeback That Wasn't To Be
January 21, 2015

On March 26, 2001, WCW held their final show due to the WWF buying the promotion. The promotion had been owned by Ted Turner since 1988 and had been around under various incarnations decades before. Every long time fan knows the story that saw WCW go from coming extemely close to driving the WWF out of business to being bought by them cheap only a few years later. There's been many reasons why from backstage politics to incompetent management to bad booking. Here's a question for you. If WCW wasn't bought, could they have made a comeback? Could they have regained their momentum and take advantage of the WWF/E's declining fortunes? I think so. While not overnight, I do believe that if the company wasn't bought that they could've made a comeback within two-three years and I'm going to explain why. Obviously, these are "what ifs" since I don't know where the booking and matchmaking would've gone. Instead, I'll look at where things were in the last few months.

Fantasy Booking: Booking New Royal Rumble Winners Part 1
Fantasy Booking: Booking New Royal Rumble Winners
January 9, 2015
By Ryan Porzl
A while back I did a series of articles in which I would pick winners for each years King of the Ring tournament with the scenerio being the real life winner was injured. I'm now going to do it for the Royal Rumble. To bring everyone up to speed, the Royal Rumble is a yearly event held every January since 1988. The main feature is the Royal Rumble match which is a battle royal where a new entrant comes out every two minutes and usually consist of 30 wrestlers. As was the case with my KOTR articles, I will select my own choices for who should win the Rumble and I won't be able to use the real winner since they will be injured. Like KOTR, the rules will be same as I can only pick wrestlers that are not only in the WWF/E at the time but they have to be active. I can't use wrestlers if they weren't under contract to the WWF/E at the time of the Rumble and I can't use wrestlers if they were out of action because of injuries, suspensions, or leave of absences.

2014 MMA Year End Awards
2014 MMA Year End Awards
January 4, 2015
By Ryan Porzl
It's that time of year where I give out my choices for what I believe is the best and worst in Mixed Martial Arts. I will pick the best and worst in MMA. To paraphrase Siskel and Ebert, these are the choices that these newsletters would pick if they were as smart as I am. Speaking of Siskel and Ebert, my worst awards will be done with the same rules as they used for worst movie which is I won't pick on obscure, little known fighters and companies no matter how bad they are. I'll pick on the big visible companies including since they're more likely to be seen by more people and therefore, cause more suffering. I also think it's only fair to inflict insults and give them the same amount of pain they gave us with their performances.
Another important note before beginning. Understand one thing which is that this is an MMA Awards article. When I say "MMA", I mean MMA. I'm not going to be Sherdog or the World MMA Awards and claim to give MMA awards but 90% are UFC choices.
