WWE Spring Cleaning

WWE Spring Cleaning
May 1, 2016
By Ryan Porzl

Well, it's that time again. Wrestlemania has come and gone which means new talent gets signed or called up from the main roster. With so many new talents coming to the WWE, the main roster is getting overloaded and the WWE is likely to cut wrestlers. Sadly, the WWE has plenty to choose from and I'll create of list of names on people who probably should be cut. Keep in mind, the people that I think should be cut are people you could cut today. As a result, I won't pick guys like Big Show and Kane who need to step aside as they can be used to put over new talent for the foreseeable future. I also won't pick someone like Mark Henry since he may be retiring and I won't pick someone who I don't feel is being wasted like Heath Slater and R-Truth mostly because the WWE needs prelim guys

Exposing The Hypocrisies of Jim Cornette

Exposing The Hypocrisies of Jim Cornette
April 21, 2016
By Ryan Porzl

Jim Cornette is a legend in the wrestling business and has been involved in the business for four decades while becoming sort of a messiah to the internet wrestling fans largely for his entertaining shoot interviews and DVDs where he unleashes his verbal venom on certain targets. However, Cornette shown also be known for being hypocritical as well as very outdated. In the last ten years, he's burned one bridge after another all the while talking about the death of wrestling and whining about one thing after another. Don't me wrong, I can find Cornette entertaining as he can be funny and is never boring but after the same thing for 10+ years if not more, it's old. What's even worse is that Cornette and old school wrestling isn't pure as snow. Like a lot of people, Cornette views the past through rose colored glasses but it's gone too far for so long. I probably should've wrote this a long time ago but I finally decided to call Cornette out on his BS as I'll go through his talking points and debunk them while showing he & old school rasslin isn't any better than the wrestling he despises today.

Prince - Trust (Batman, 1989 Soundtrack)

In tribute to Prince and the fact that this year will be the 240th birthday for the United States, we should do a Joker Parade.



Batman (1989): Joker Museum Scene

Can't say I was a Prince fan but I'll always remember him for the songs he did for the 1989 Batman like Party Man and Trust.

JJ Jackson MTV 1984

Today would've been the 75th birthday of original MTV VJ J.J. Jackson. Jackson was one of the first MTV VJs along with Nina Blackwood, Alan Hunter, Martha Quinn, and Mark Goodman. I never watched much MTV but from the clips I've seen, Jackson seemed like a cool dude who knew his stuff but I'll always remember him for hosting the segment where KISS took the makeup off on September 18, 1983. Sadly, he passed away on St. Patrick's Day 2004 which prevented him from reuniting with the other original VJs on Sirius Satellite Radio.



Jake Roberts interviews BlackJack Mulligan

Sad to hear about the passing of WWE Hall of Famer and former WWE World Tag Team Champion Blackjack Mulligan at 73. Mulligan, of course, best known for his tag team The Blackjacks with Blackjack Lanza but also had lots of success in singles competition. Mulligan was also the patriarch of the Windham/Rotunda wrestling family which includes son-in-law Mike "I.R.S." Rotunda, sons Barry and Kendall Windham, and grandsons Bray Wyatt & Bo Dallas. Here's an awesome clip of him. Before CM Punk was talking about ice cream bars, Blackjack was the king of pimping WWE Ice Cream Bars.
