I think it’s safe to say that Wrestlingmania is probably the most important event in wrestling entertainment. It’s the pay per view of pay per views and it’s the culmination of every story arc at one big show. If you’ve got a match at Wrestlersmania then you’ve got proof that your career trajectory is on the up and up. As a writer and performer (be it on a much smaller scale than anyone working for the WWF – except for my abs) I can only imagine the relief that one must feel at the end of the night of the big performance and the horrible come down of “Oh fuck I have to do this again tomorrow night”.

But now I’m back, I feel refreshed and I’m ready to inject a sense of irony into my wrestling blog like it’s never been done before. What could be a better episode to start back up with than WRESTLEMANIA!? Read the rest of this entry »

What happened at Valentines Day Massacre last week/last night? All that I can remember is that a giant guy (that seemingly appeared out of thick air) helped Stone Cold win his all expenses trip to Wrestlemania on accident. OOPS! Read the rest of this entry »
2/1/99 – Extended Payment Plan
In 1999 there were only two choices for the viewers of Super Bowl XXXIII, watch the half time show put on by Gloria Estefan, Stevie Wonder, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (Where do I sign up for that time machine?) or tune into Sunday Night Heat (you remember how in 1999 there were only the two television channels, FOX and USA) to watch The Rock and Man Kind duke it out in a one on one, pinfalls count anywhere, empty(ish) arena match.
