Wrestling Promotions You May Not Know #1 CMLL 2007-08-17 06:58:00 CMLL is along with AAA one of the leading wrestling promotions in Mexico and many of it's top stars have an absolutely massive fan following across Mexico. CMLL is far more popular than WWE or TNA in its home country. Formerly known as EMLL, CMLL is the oldest existing wrestling promotion today.Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) means Worldwide Wrestling Council and is a wrestling promotion that focuses on the Lucha Libre style of wrestling.

Why Isn't John Cena A Heel Yet? 2007-08-21 09:13:00 Did anyone watch Raw last night (20/8)? If you did you can't have failed to spot the massive crowd response to Randy Orton. Sadly it wasn't a jeering response that the WWE would've wanted instead Randy Orton was cheered louder than anyone I've heard in a while.WWE thought that the RKO from Randy Orton on John Cena
would skyrocket his heel status but it hasn't happened instead the fans went nuts for Randy Orton. Was it because Randy Orton has failed in his roll as a heel?In my opinion no. If Randy Orton had hit that awesome but sick RKO on Umaga, Jeff Hardy, The Undertaker or Triple H he'd have been jeered like crazy and probably got items thrown at him, yet he didn't and the reason for that lies with one man - John Cena.Now John Cena has improved a lot over the last year in terms of his in ring performance but this hasn't been able to repair the damage that had already been done. WWE throwing John Cena down the fans necks for three years solid has just proved too much for most
The Late WWE Superstar Crush Biography 2007-08-21 04:52:00 Brian Adams (January 31, 1963 - August 13, 2007) was an American actor and professional wrestler. Adams gained fame in the 1990s while performing for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) under the name Crush and for World Championship Wrestling (WCW) under his given name.

WWE Summerslam 2007 Results 2007-08-27 03:04:00 WWE Summerslam 2007 was yet another disappointing pay per view offering from one of the big two. The returns of Triple H and Rey Mysterio where well received and Stone Cold Steve Austins drinking contest with MVP was a welcome surprise but overall WWE Summerslam 2007 wasn't worth watching. Kane beat Finlay in a watchable opener but the bout had no reason to be on the card in truth.Umaga beat Kennedy and Carlito in an average triple threat match when Umaga pinned Kennedy. This was a great chance for a title change but WWE decided to keep the belt on Umaga. The stranger decision was having him pin Mr. Kennedy - not exactly a good sign for the proposed mega push.Rey Mysterio beat Chavo Guerrero in an entertaining bout. Rey showed little ring rust and put in a solid display, I just hope this is the end of this feud. The reaction to Mysterios return was pretty good.Beth Pheonix won the Diva Battle Royal in the usual waste of time - Note to WWE:STOP putting Divas in actual wrestling matches
The 5 Greatest Matches Of ......The Undertaker 2007-08-26 02:32:00 With an illustrious career that includes an historic unbeaten Wrestlemania record The Undertaker has been involved in his fair share if classic battles over the years. From legendary feuds with Steve Austin, Kane, Shawn Michaels and of course Mick Foley to the best forgotten Kamala and Giant Gonzales feuds The Undertaker has done it all.Here in my humble opinion are the Undertakers finest matches.5. v. Bret Hart Summerslam1997Bret Hart's last WWE title reign started here when he defeated the Undertaker in this often forgotten classic. The two had several great battles throughout the years and this was probably the best.4. v Triple H Wrestlemania X-7Wresltmania X-7 is probably the greatest Wrestlemania of all time so it is only fitting that it is also home to The Undertaker's greatest Wrestlemania match. An engrossing brawl in the first ever one on one PPV encounter between the Game and The Dead Man many expected the Undertaker's streak to come to an end but The Undertaker pulled the Read more:Greatest
WWE Summerslam 2007 Card 2007-08-25 17:23:00 Here's the card for Summerslam 2007 . Truth be told in my opinion the card doesn't look up to much at all so I'm just hoping it's one of those pay per views that punches above its weight - because if it doesn't this could be a Summerslam you forget in a hurry.* WWE Championship: John Cena (c) vs. Randy Orton * World Heavyweight Championship: The Great Khali (w/Ranjin Singh) (c) vs. Batista * Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero * ECW Championship: John Morrison (c) vs. CM Punk * Triple H vs. King Booker (w/Queen Sharmell) * Interpromotional Diva Battle Royal: Michelle McCool vs. Kristal Marshall vs. Victoria vs. Torrie Wilson vs. Cherry vs. Kelly Kelly vs. Brooke vs. Layla vs. Beth Phoenix vs. Mickie James vs. Melina vs. Jillian Hall vs. Maria * Triple Threat match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship:Umaga (c) vs. Carlito vs. Mr. Kennedy * Kane vs. Finlay
Must See Match # 4- Shawn Michaels v Shelton Benjamin 2007-08-25 06:23:00 This match took place on Monday Night Raw during a "Gold Rush" tournament to decide the number one contender for the world title and is very much a hidden classic. It is one the greatest matches in the history of Monday Night Raw packed with fast paced action and near falls it sadly shows just how much WWE have misused the talents of Shelton Benjamin

Summerslams 20 Greatest Matches. 2007-08-24 03:15:00 Summerslam 2007 is just around the corner but it seems to have been forgotten that this is the twentieth annual Summerslam event so to mark the landmark here are the best Summerslam matches of the last 20 years in my opinion.20. Chris Jericho v Chris Benoit 2 out of 3 falls. Summerslam 2000These two put on some great bouts and to be honest this wasn't there best but an average Benoit/Jericho match is still better than what most can achieve. Summerslam 2000 was probably the best Summerslam of all time and Chris Benoit won this one when he used a low blow when the bout was tied at one all.19. Hulk Hogan v Shawn Michaels. Summerslam 2005I will always remember this match most for Shawn Michaels amazing match carrying performance against a broken down Hogan. The match is a little overated but the suspense makes the bout feel special. A Must see for any fan that wants to know why The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels is regarded as the greatest by so many.18. Shane McMahon v Steve Blackman. Sum Read more:Greatest
10 WWE Superstars Suspended On Drugs Policy - 2 More To Follow 2007-08-31 00:06:00 Another day and more bad news from the WWE. They have suspended 10 wrestlers with another two expected tomorrow. WWE have decided not to release the names of the guys involved but I have found several reports naming athletes. Here are two from two of the most respected sites around.Firstly this is from sports illustrated-As the WWE is embattled by charges that its wrestlers die early and unexpectedly with alarming frequency, it must now counter evidence that the culture is awash in illicit drug use. That cause wasn't helped on Thursday, when, based on information provided to the WWE by the Albany District Attorney's office, the organization suspended 10 wrestlers for violating the company's drug policy. While the WWE declined to release the names of the suspended athletes, SI has learned that a dozen professional wrestlers have received steroids and/or human growth hormone through the drug network. The WWE would not confirm which, if any, of the following wrestlers are among those s Read more:Superstars

Who Should Run WWE When Vince McMahon Really Retires? 2007-08-30 05:17:00 Stephanie and Triple H or Shane McMahon
- Who would you choose to run the WWE When Vince
McMahon finally calls it a day?On the one hand you have Stephanie, who at the moment would have to be the favorite. Stephanie recently took over the running of wwe.com something which up until then had been run by Shane McMahon. The may lead some to say it is a clear sign Stephanie is currently held in higher esteem then her brother Shane. But wwe.com and how it's been run also shows the different take the siblings have on the industry.Shane McMahon made wwe.com as good a place to visit for honest up to date news as any independent wrestling site. He decided that as wrestling fans nowadays understood that wrestling was a worked product, a form of entertainment, that there was little point pretending otherwise.Stephanie McMahon along with her husband Triple H however felt differently and have run the site in line with the actual product, meaning any storylines currently happening on screen would b
Jimmy Rave Joins TNA 2007-08-29 06:26:00 Probably the greatest heel on the indy wrestling scene has signed a contract with TNA. This would be a great signing for TNA as Jimmy Rave is a great talent but sadly I have my doubts as to how TNA will actually put Jimmy Rave to use - lets face it if your not ex WWE then your nothing in TNA or at least thats how it seems just lately.Jimmy Rave will apparently make his TNA debut at No Surrender in a tag team guantlet match. For those of you who have no idea who Jimmy Rave is.....................
The Rock's Top 10 Funniest Promos 2007-09-20 09:13:00 With a massive rumor currently circulating that the Rock has indicated he may come back for one last match at Wrestlemania 24 with Shawn Michaels the rumored opponent I started thinking about some of the Rock's funniest promos. Here are 10 of the best in no particular order.The first promo is a backstage interview where the Rock takes the piss out of Triple H and Brock Lesner. The line about Triple H and his wet diaper still makes me laugh as does his impression of Paul Heyman as a Walrus.This is from Raw Where the Rock impersonates his opponents in the upcoming Hell In A Cell. Once again it's the Triple H comments which are the best.The Rock sings to Eddie Guerrero in this great promo featuring two legends.The Rock and The Hurricane segment which featured the classic "wash your ass" and "the scorpian king had a small ding a ling line.The Rock returns to Toronto and insults the crowd.Part 1Part 2The Rock and Jericho had some great moments on the microphone and this is one of the best
Why Does WWE Currently Suck? Wrestlers Or Bookers 2007-09-17 14:26:00 After watching WWE's latest atrocious PPV offering in Judgement Day 2007 I'm beginning to seriously consider not purchasing another PPV until things are sorted but the bigger question should be who is to blame for the WWE currently sucking big time?They may have had bad luck with injuries but that has always been a problem in WWE yet they've always coped. Now we have Raw which has seen the dullest world title reign I can remember and yet it is still going strong. SmackDown has seen Batista in every Smackdown PPV main event since last August despite the fact that he can't talk and he's crap in the ring. ECW meanwhile has never stood a chance because WWE have treated the project with little apparent interest.Is WWE really so devoid of talent that it has given John Cena a year long title reign and Batista endless title shots ( and now a title reign ,sigh!!) or is the booking team at fault for delivering the same tired PPV's month after month and failing to spot the guys with real ta Read more:Currently

What Match Should Headline Wrestlemania 24? 2007-09-15 09:50:00 Wrestlemania 24 may seem a while away just yet but it will soon come around to the biggest event in the wrestling calender so what should WWE start to tease as the main attraction for the big showcase that is Wrestlemania.I made a previous post stating what my dream card would be ( you can see it Here! ) but this time I am talking about what actually has a realistic chance of headlining Wrestlemania 24. Here are the bouts I think are the current favorites.Triple H v John Cena.A Wrestlemania rematch, the first bout was better than expected and the two will no doubt clash again in the next year but should it be at Wrestlemania 24? For me personally I'd prefer something fresher to headline but it has to be a possibility. If it where to take place I would rather see the roles reversded this time with Cena as the bad guy and Triple H the face.Triple H v Mr. KennedyThe Vince McMahon storyline was supposed to result in Kennedy as Vince's bastard son and if this is still the case then this b Read more:Match

Who Is Vince McMahons Bastard Son? 2007-09-07 11:22:00 The big storyline currently running in WWE, on screen at least, is the story of Vince
having an illegitimate son. This was supposed to be revealed as Mr. Kennedy but due to his suspension because of the steroids issue it would appear WWE have changed there plans.Last week Mr. Kennedy was told that DNA test showed that he wasn't Vince McMahon's son but that the true identity will be revealed this week on Raw. There are some that now feel WWE will push John Cena as the bastard son of Vince McMahon and this will lead to an heel turn and a feud with Triple H. I on the other hand don't think this will be the case.My theory is that on Raw none other than Triple H will be revealed as Vince's son. I think that on Raw while Triple H is again teasing Vince the lawyers will come out and reveal Triple H as Vince's bastard son.The following weeks will feature both men struggling to come to terms with the announcement especially Triple. Then after several weeks Triple H will start to soften to
TNA Release Test/Punisher Andrew Martins 2007-09-06 05:29:00 TNA have released Andrew
"Test/Punisher
" Martins
from TNA according to Rajah.comAndrew "Test" Martin is already gone from TNA Wrestling. Martin was brought in last month and was immediately pushed into a top match at TNA's last PPV. The reason for his firing is his unreasonably muscular physique. At a time when TNA is being investigated by the United States Congress, Martin stuck out like a sore thumb and management was convinced he could not pass a drug test. Test was told he could come back to the company when he loses considerable weight.Now I'm not a fan of Martins and in truth I'm glad he's gone. The less of these steroid taking junkies in wrestling the better as far as I'm concerned but I just wonder if TNA have done this to appear as if they are making a statement.The reason I say this is because if TNA are serious about cleaning up before US congress come after them as well as the WWE then surely it means other stars will follow. Yes Martins is an obvious steroid taker if Read more:Release
Ric Flair Quits WWE 2007-09-05 11:08:00 Ric Flair today has quit the WWE according to reports. Of course this has nothing to do with the latest steroid scandal but instead the felling of Ric Flair that he is been misused by the WWE. The two could yet come to a compromise that would see a return but if Ric Flair does walk it will be interesting to see if he joins TNA or retires as he was scheduled to retire in a big send off at Wrestlemania 24.Although it is a bad time for WWE to lose another superstar with all the current suspensions and injuries I can't say I'm upset at the loss of Ric Flair. Unquestionably one of the all time greats all that Flair has accomplished in recent years in a tarnishing of his own legacy.Ric Flair should have retired years ago but sadly because of his high living lifestyle and several divorces Flair had to continue competing in the squared circle well beyond his years.If Ric Flair does retire our memories of him should be his classics with Steamboat, Savage, Vader and others and not his jobbing

ECW (4/9) And SmackDown (8/9) Results **SPOILERS** 2007-09-03 13:51:00 ECW TAPINGBoogeyman defeated Matt Striker on a DQ when Big Daddy V got invloved and destroyed him. Striker held Boogeyman on a table and BDV came off the top with a splash driving him through the table.The Miz defeated Balls Mahoney. Match wasn't to bad. Kelly checked on Balls after the match until Miz grabbed her arm and made her go to the back with him.- A video on C.M. Punk aired.Kevin Thorne & Elijah Burke defeated Steven Richards & Tommy Dreamer in what was announced as an Extreme Rules match however no weapons were used. It was pretty decent overall.C.M. Punk defeated John Morrison to win the ECW Title in about 12 minutes. Punk dominated most of the match. At one point some guys in the floor seats started chanting "steroids" during the match and Morrison just gave them a dirty look.

WWE Raw Results 9/3 **SPOILERS** 2007-09-03 13:40:00 Unlike most weeks this weeks WWE RAW was pre recorded on Sunday night as WWE head out on a tour of South Africa. Heres what went down courtesy of gerweck.net- Raw begins with a video segment of Randy Orton attacking John Cena's father Johnny Fabulous. The crowd is perfect, cheer when they should and boo when they should.- Jeff Hardy defeated Umaga to capture the IC title.- They are showing Triple H and Carlito as upcoming tonight, not sure if its a match or the Cabana. They are also advertising "the McMahon family confrontation."- Segment with Vince and Carlito. Vince suggests a handicap match because Umaga is mad about his loss. So it'll be Umaga and Carlito vs. Triple H.- Another segment with Melina talking to William Regal about things she has done with Vince in private meetings. She whispers in Regal's ear and Regal claims its "filthy." Stephanie McMahon shows up, and then Linda shows up. Linda slaps Melina in the face. Melina rubs her face, turns around and sees Ron Simmons who
Raw Tapings Reveal Suspended Stars And Tag Team Released. 2007-09-02 23:15:00 It's been another busy day for WWE as they have released the Raw tag team Cryme Tyme. Reports say this has nothing to do with the latest WWE steroid story but instead is related to a backstage incident with Cade and Murdoch.Since they where just starting to get a push in the tag team division then all I can say is they must have done something really bad to piss off WWE management. There are a few idiots out there claiming the firings where race related but comments like these just make me sick. It doesn't matter what race you are in WWE and unless your a major star they get rid for bad behaviour. WWE have sacked bigger stars for less just ask Matt Hardy.In case you didn't here WWE also released Nick Dinsmore (Eugene) on 1st September. Reports differ some claim his contract was meerly up and WWE felt his character had run its course others that it was drugs related (Dinsmore overdosed in 2005).This weeks Raw isn't live because WWE are heading out on world tour but the results did r Read more:Reveal
The Rock Speaks About The WWE Steroid Issue 2007-09-01 04:20:00 As you will now probably be aware WWE has now suspended 11 superstars and reportedly fired Simon Dean over steroid use. Well one of it's biggest performers from its history has spoken about the situation in an interview with Fox Sports.com so I thought I'd post a few of his comments. On Steroid
s In WWE In light of World Wrestling Entertainment's latest steroid scandal, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson said he hopes the company continues to lay the smackdown on performers who are using muscle-building drugs. Johnson, though, wasn't happy to hear that the sports entertainment industry where he thrived before shifting his acting skills full-time to Hollywood is continuing to struggle with the steroid issue."Clearly, there has to be an aggressive educational program put in place," Johnson said. "These guys have to be armed with the knowledge and understanding of how bad these drugs are and the dangers of mixing these drugs with the lifestyles they lead."On Chris Benoit"I was b
Cyber Sunday Promo Or Jericho Return Build Up? 2007-09-27 04:46:00 In case you blinked and missed the video from Raw that is currently causing mass debate amongst wrestling fans here it isOpinion seems torn between it being Jericho
's return and a promo for CyberSunday
. Although I'm not 100% certain it points to Chris Jericho returning I do believe it is something to do with a wrestler as it seems way too soon for WWE to be promoting a second rate PPV like Cyber Sunday.WWE have barely promoted No Mercy yet so my thinking is why would they promote a PPV that's several weeks a way ahead of one just around the corner?For those hoping it is Chris Jericho ( including me ) the biggest suggestion is the hint to the WWE cd volume 4 track 1 as Walls of Jericho was track 1 on that volume.If it's Jericho expect the promos to continue and reveal more and more each week. Although he could return for Cyber Sunday if I'm honest I'd rather they save it for the bigger event that will be Survivor Series.For those wanting to make there own concussions here is the Read more:Promo

John Cena Out For Upto 1 Year! What Next For WWE 2007-10-03 04:30:00 I'm not going to pretend I'm upset but John Cena
's long ( and dull!!!) WWE title reign has come to an end thanks to Cena picking up an injury whilst battling Mr. Kennedy on this weeks Raw. The injury itself was a fully torn right pectoral muscle which is a very similar injury to the one that has kept Edge out of action for so long but Cena's is believed to be more severe.It is never nice to read of injuries to wrestlers. Whether you like them or not the fact is they are putting themselves at risk for our entertainment, so although never a Cena fan and a strong believer that this title reign lasted at least 6 months too long I hope John Cena a speedy recovery.That said I do believe WWE can now turn this into a positive. Fans have been dying for a WWE title change for months and now they will get there wish. Some believe that Orton would have won the title at No Mercy anyway ( I'm not one of them ) and if this is the case then Randy Orton must be the strong favorite to win the title
