Throwing in the Towel DVD Review: WWE - The Greatest Stars of the 90’s

A follow-up to “the Greatest Stars of the 80’s”, which was released absolutely ages ago, the Greatest Stars of the 90’s follows the same formula. That is, a DVD featuring a documentary that highlights some of the biggest stars of the given time period, accompanied by a bunch of matches that feature said superstars.

Essentially, this is a superficial run through, of who the WWE regard as “The Greatest Stars of the 90’s”. What that encompasses, is a brief bio on each chosen superstar, comprised of clips and interviews covering their career. If I had never seen a WWE retrospective before, I’d be blown away by this material. Unfortunately I’ve seen…

Roundtable #34 - Would TNA benefit from reducing the number of PPVs per year?

Welcome to the latest Roundtable discussion here at iFight365.com where this week we’re asking the question: Would TNA benefit from reducing the number of PPVs per year?

Phil Lowe: I have no doubt that dropping the number of PPVs would be a smart move by TNA. Buyrates are hardly setting the world alight and times are tough for the average wrestling fan. Given a choice between a WWE or TNA PPV (or even UFC or TNA), more often than not, TNA will lose out.

If TNA have to keep to the current format of 12 PPVs per year, I’d be tempted to adopt the old…

Throwing in the Towel Book Review: WWE - Andre the Giant: A Legendary Life

The Lo-Down: Andre Roussemoff was one of the most beloved performers in the history of the wrestling business. Under the guise of Andre The Giant, he achieved international recognition, and in his prime, was legitimately an insanely popular draw. Touring the world, and becoming, at one point, supposedly the highest paid wrestler on the planet, he became one of the most recognizable faces in the industry.

His match with Hulk Hogan, at WrestleMania III is one of the biggest, and most important Pro wrestling events in history, while he was a part of many memorable angles and TV segments. He also ventured into acting, most notably appearing..

Roundtable #33 - Which of WWE’s current youngsters can become a main event star?

Welcome to the latest Roundtable discussion here at iFight365.com where this week we’re asking the question: Which of WWE’s current crop of youngsters has the potential to be a long-term main event star?

James Mustoe: WWE has quietly been building a bit of a youth movement over the last year. Guys like Kofi Kingston, DiBiase and Rhodes, Tyson Kidd, and the wonderful Evan Bourne all stand out as having great potential in the organisation for the future. However the guy who has flat out shown the most potential as a top level break out star (and very soon too!) is the former ECW Champion Jack Swagger…

Phil Lowe: I’m really looking forward to seeing how Smackdown fares over the summer. After this past Friday night’s show, I felt very optimistic about the future of the ‘blue brand,’ from the guys at the top of the roster right through to the announce team. For the record, I think the Todd…
