I know there's a chance all this goes up in flames but I haven't been this excited for raw in years. These next four months to Mania could be so good with the guys involved.

Caught some highlights from the Elimination Chamber last night, everything looked strong. Definitely WWE is surging more now since the Attitude Era, and overall I believe will be a better product. We may not get another singular star in par with Austin or Rock, but the roster is more stacked with talent now than ANY federation could ever say, ever.


When Vince got completely removed from any aspect of the business, the change seemed immediate. His vision made the WWE, but also made it stagnant. He was listening to himself more than the fans, and it seems his ego went to much darker levels besides. This is the worst scandal since Benoit, and im equally as horrified, and disappointed.


Looking forward to what comes next. I believe HHH is the perfect choice to replace Vince, even though he's his son in law. HHH and Stephanie were trying to keep Vince out of the company long before this all came out, and most likely it was Stephanie McMahon that leaked everything to the Wall Street Journal. Cody Rhodes would be an excellent champion to represent the company now as I fear more horrors have yet to be revealed.


Anyone wanting a true insight to what goes on in the American Wrestling Industry should listen to the Jim Cornette clips on YouTube, or his 2 podcasts. Jim has a brilliant wrestling mind, been in the business 40 years, is hilarious, and completely politically incorrect.



Taker worked out a choke slam last night. Rock goes back to Hollywood but will return to face "his" champion when he returns.



Wrestlemania 40 was incredible. Seth Rollins stole both shows. I cant wait to see CM Punk return to action, but if he had to retire from in ring action he'd still be the next coming of Jesse Ventura on commentary. I really liked Iyo Sky, shes fiesty. They have the real possibility of being the best era WWE or WWF ever had right now. All the talent, incredible matches, and commentators and workers alike finally have free reign on the mic. Getting the feeling Roman will get the title back sooner than they think. Ive always been a fan of heel champs, it gives the good guys something to fight for, though WWE has made tons of $ with the opposite formula (Hogan, Austin, Rock).
