Throwing in the Towel: TNA - Destination X 2009

I need to address something. Before you read on with this wonderous piece of literature, you need to be aware that I had every intention of creating a proper article based on Destination X.

I hoped it would be both informative, and entertaining, as well as being a fair critical assessment.

However, it didn’t pan out that way.

The pay-per-view was so atrocious, such a disgraceful, rejected, turd of an outcast, that I could only muster a couple paragraphs. Be warned…

Throwing in the Towel: Who faces Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 25?

Every week on Raw, the best heel in the business right now, Chris Jericho, has been coming out and delivering astonishing segments. Be it with Ricky Steamboat, or Roddy Piper, or even Jimmy Snuka, the former Y2J has delivered some spectacular television. It’s timely as well, appropriately delivering in the run-up to what was supposed to be a Marquee match at the biggest show of the year, WrestleMania.

The whole genesis of this feud is the challenge Mickey Rourke (a non-wrestler) issued Jericho, which in turn has led to the Canadian becoming increasingly disgusted at “legends” crawling out from the wood-work. The notion behind the feud…

Throwing in the Towel: Many Ways Out of WWE’s No Way Out PPV

No Way Out is such an inaccurate title for a PPV that frequently could be termed Triple H’s Playground.

Beginning this show, there was about twenty different ideas being tossed around as to what was going to happen in the marquee matches, and for once, Mania did not seem anywhere close to being established.

Back to Trips, The Game has never lost at this particular PPV.

In 2000 HHH “retired” Mick Foley in a huge spectacle match, while in 2001 he bested Steve…

The Dreaded Nerve Hold Review: The Wrestler

“What’s causing all this?”

No, it’s not TNA’s ludicrous booking of Cute Kip (You look soooo….good…..to me……!) in a PPV main event, nor is the fact that the WWE have finally woken up to the odious stench of Bob Holly’s sweat-socks, and fired the grumpy old carbuncle.

It’s Mickey Rourke as Randy “The Ram” Ramzinski, that’s what.

By Jeebus, his turn in The Wrestler is a heavyweight, career-best performance indeed and worthy of the accolades that have been heaped upon his mangled visage since the film’s release.

Throwing in the Towel: WWE - Young Guns

I intended to write a little about this following the final WWE PPV of 2008 - Armageddon. But of course, there were distractions, Christmas, drunkenness, the awesomeness of UFC 92, more being drunk, being ill…ROH catching up to do…etc…..etc…

But I couldn’t let one oh-so-minor incident pass by without offering some comment…. And that being, finally, after about three billion teases, they pulled the trigger on Jeff Hardy. That’s right… Jeff Hardy raised the World Heavyweight title.

By now, we’ve all heard the ins and outs of his victory, and debated the pros and cons. I for one completely support the decision, as Hardy…
