A Look At The New Japan Imports and Why They Might Not Succeed
A Look At The New Japan Imports and Why They Might Not Succeed
February 18. 2016
By Ryan Porzl
It was one month ago when reports came out that WWE would sign four big names from New Japan Pro Wrestling which were AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Karl Anderson, and Doc Gallows. To say the least, many fans have been excited that four big names could possibly be heading to the WWE. However, when you look at everything, it's probably not the best idea to get excited cause their runs may not be successful. What do I mean about "everything", let's take a look. Keep in mind that at the time I'm writing this, only Styles has signed while the others are either taking physicals or finishing up other commitments so things can change. However, for this article, I'll write it as if they have already been signed.

Gary Moore - The Loner [HD]
Sad anniversary today as today marks the fifth anniversary of the death of one of the all-time great guitar players: Gary Moore. Moore was such an amazing guitarist and it's sad that he never caught on here in The United States especially since he achieved fame in Europe and Asia. As a result, he's sometimes not as celebrated as many of the greatest guitar players usually are and will likely never make it to the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. He was probably music's best kept secret as far as America goes. I'm also disappointed that I never got to see him as I've been lucky to have seen many of the singers and bands I've always wanted to see but he was the first to pass away before I could see him. Moore was also a chameleon with the guitar as he was both great at hard rock and that 80s sound but also was great with blues rock. Hopefully, future generations will get to discover his work more in the United States than the current one. The best thing I heard about Moore regarding the United States was a KISS fansite that brought up current drummer Eric Singer having for him and then said he never made it big in the US and then wrote in parenthesis "Their Loss".
Queen - The Show Must Go On (Official Video)
On this day 25 years, Queen's Innuendo was released in the United States (It was released in the UK the previous day). It would be the final Queen album released during Freddie Mercury's lifetime as he passed away nine months later (Queen completed their last album Made In Heaven in 1995 with the last material as well as other songs Freddie did). It was a great album and worth recommending to any Queen fan.

The WWE Needs To Acknowledge Hulk Hogan Again
The WWE Needs To Acknowledge Hulk Hogan Again
January 30, 2016
By Ryan Porzl
In the summer of 2015, Wrestling Legend Hulk Hogan saw his recent run in the WWE terminated when a sex tape of his that was near a decade old was leaked and featured him using a racist slur repeatedly. Following the leak, the WWE not only ended it's relationship with Hogan but went the extreme and ridiculous length of trying to erase all traces of him including removing his merchandise and all mention of him on their television shows and website. There were even rumors at one point that the WWE considered removing him from their Hall of Fame. I'm going to write why all this is taking it too far, why they at least need to acknowledge him again, and why it's ridiculous to go to all this trouble when other legends and hall of famers have done far worse.

Motörhead - Love Me Forever
On this day 25 years ago, Motorhead released their 1916 album. This one is definitely one of my favorite albums, not just Motorhead with songs like The One To Sing The Blues, Going To Brazil, No Voices In The Sky, Nightmare/The Dreamtime, Love Me Forever, Ramones, and 1916. I must also thank Lemmy as my second Motorhead show saw him play The One To Sing The Blues. God bless.
