Out With The Old and In With The New
May 31, 2015
By Ryan Porzl
Ever since the recent wrestling boom ended in 2001, professional wrestling has been in a lull. Business and interest has declined and there have been many reasons why. One of the reasons many don't think of is the fact that the big companies can't seem to let go of talent. The big promotions in the WWE, TNA, and ROH have had the same problem where they either cling to aging talent long past their prime or talent that's been ridiculously stale for years. Because of this, the companies have had times when they've gotten stale and boring because we've been watching the same talents that been around forever. We'll take a look at the benefits of cycling talent out every now and then.

Vince McMahon Needs To Retire
Vince McMahon Needs To Retire
May 18, 2015
By Ryan Porzl
Vincent Kennedy McMahon is a man who will go down in history as one of wrestling's most successful promoters. After buying the WWF (now WWE) fron his father Vincent James McMahon in 1982, he took it from a regional northeast promotion and made into a national powerhouse. Within five years of his ownership, he became the king of American wrestling with the highly successful Wrestlemania events, the Saturday Night's Main Event specials on NBC, and some of the best wrestlers in the world. In fact, with the exception of 1996-1998, McMahon has largely been the top promoter in American wrestling and continues to be as of this writing. However, times have changed and so have the fortunes of the WWE. In recent years, McMahon has become the WWE's biggest detriment. Like the promoters of old, McMahon has had his share of success but as he's gotten older and he's clearly fallen behind the times. He's also shown a very stubborn attitude, someone who seemingly can't make up his mind, and is stuck in the past instead of looking to the future. These are things the WWE doesn't need right now. While it's been said that McMahon will likely run the WWE until the day he dies, everybody would be better off if Vinnie Mac decided to call it a career.

Is Jackson's MMA the Next Lion's Den and Miletich Fighting System?
Is Jackson's MMA the Next Lion's Den and Miletich Fighting System?

Since becoming an MMA gym in 2000, Jackson's MMA has become home to some of the best fighters of the 2000s as well as all time. Many fighters experienced championship success and big career wins during their stay. However, the gym has started to see a decline in recent years. The top fighters have either left the gym or were out of action while the recent prospects haven't reached expectations. Is the gym becoming the next Lion's Den or Miletich Fighting System? Is it becoming a gym that was once dominant but then got outdated in a sport that keeps evolving?
