Why Professional Wrestling Deserves More Respect In MMA
October 6, 2016
By Ryan Porzl
Professional Wrestling has an interesting history when it comes to Mixed Martial Arts. However, because of wrestling's status as a red headed step child of entertainment as well as sport, it's largely ridiculed. In the MMA world, it's largely no different. When wrestling is brought up, MMA fans are quick to dismiss it as fake and mock it. Like a lot of people that aren't wrestling fans, they appear to be embarrassed by it. When CM Punk made his MMA and UFC debut, fighters and fans mocked him and wanted him to go back to the fake wrestling. However, professional wrestling and wrestlers deserve far more respect in the MMA world. In fact, professional wrestling and wrestlers are either responsible for legendary moments and/or careers. Some legendary fighters started as wrestlers while others did wrestling afterwards. In fact, wrestling has a deep history in Mixed Martial Arts.

Mr. Fuji: Wrestling's Most Underrated Manager
Mr. Fuji: Wrestling Most Underrated Manager
September 29, 2016
By Ryan Porzl
On August 28, 2016, the wrestling world lost one of it's all time greats in Mr. Fuji. During a 30 year career, Fuji enjoyed big success as a pro wrestler and later, a manager. However, to the hardcore wrestling fans, Fuji has been considered a bad manager and was voted "Worst Manager of the Year" eleven times by readers of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. While Fuji was never a great talker, there is more to being a great manager than having a silver tougue. In this article, I will honor a wrestling legend by explaining why he is wrestling's most underrated manager and what he did bring to the table.

Top Wrestlers Who Did Better In TNA Than WWE
Top Wrestlers Who Did Better In TNA Than WWE
September 24, 2016
By Ryan Porzl
For years, TNA Wrestling has been a promotion that has been a punching bag in the industry especially to smart fans. Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer once made the claim that TNA was considered a "career killer" and people on social media have said certain TNA wrestlers should go to WWE or NXT. However, nothing could be further from the truth as many wrestlers have been wasted in WWE only to see their potential or success in TNA. With the recent arrival of Aron Rex (formerly Damien Sandow) and Cody Rhodes, I figured it would be great to create a list of men and women who were wasted in WWF/E only to see their careers reach new heights in TNA. Keep in mind for this list, I'm only including wrestlers who first were in WWE and then went to TNA. I'm also not going to include wrestlers who was justifiably fired by the WWE for one reason or another (Mr. Anderson and Bram).
