Dr. Phil Astin, the former personal physician for Chris Benoit, has been sentenced to ten years in prison.

Mark Bright looks at some of the matches you should be watching during WrestleMania week.

So, I thought I’d do something a little different. Instead of merely counting down 25 great WrestleMania matches as the title of this column suggests (do you know how hard that is to condense down?), I’m going to have a look at what were, for my money, 25 bloody marvellous bouts from the history of wrestling’s biggest event that were untarnished by a gimmick stipulation.

Yep, that means no ladders, or chairs… and no Hell in a Cell’s (sorry Bossman). Instead, just matches that revolved around athletes getting in there, and rolling around like animals…though I may break a couple of my own rules here and there.

Michael Campbell explains why the WWE should sign ROH star Bryan Danielson.

The WWE’s next attempt at exploiting their extensive tape libraries is something that I had been waiting on for a long time, a DVD set based on the NWA/WCW’s highlight PPV, Starrcade.

Unfortunately in many ways this three-disc collection is a disappointment, as the documentary is scandalously short at just around 50 minutes, and the match selection was done by fan voting on WWE.com which leaves me wishing the WWE actually went with their usual format of “just randomly pick stuff” because at least you get some lesser known stuff and some hidden gems there.

The documentary portion of the show starts with…

James Mustoe looks at ‘lost’ matches from previous WWE No Way Out PPVs.

The doctor of Chris Benoit faces 20 years behind bars after entering a guilty plea to 175 counts of illegally dispensing prescription drugs from 2002-2007.

Dr. Phil Astin reportedly makes a late withdrawal of his not guilty plea.

Pro wrestling has been embarrassed by a report providing results of the Congressional Oversight Committee’s investigation into steroid use within the wrestling industry.

A man that changed wrestling forever. A man that murdered his wife and son. A man that created a legacy and destroyed it. Ladies and Gentleman, I have two words for you. Chris Benoit.
At a recent TNA show in the UK, Kurt Angle mentioned Benoit’s name when he talked about some of his memories wrestling in the UK. As expected, it got a mixed reaction – a reaction that got absolutely slated on the internet the next day. Many were disgusted. Simply, how the hell could a minority cheer for …

- Its a crazy busy weekend for us ahead of Summerslam tomorrow night, largely due to the start of the Premier League season, which is why we didn’t get a news update posted on Friday. If you’re not a football (soccer) fan, you likely couldn’t care less. If you are, head over to OddsPreview.com for all the latest news, results and tons more as it happens.
We’ll have a PPV preview up on the site on Sunday afternoon at some point, as well as a pre-PPV news update later in the …

Welcome to the third of WWEPreview.com’s weekly Roundtable features, where the WWEP regulars get together to discuss a WWE related topic once a week.
This week’s Roundtable discussion is based on the question: Should Chris Benoit be removed from the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame?
Mark Bright: With this year’s Hall Of Fame issue of the Wrestling Observer coming out soon the topic of whether or not Benoit should be removed has been a subject that has come up on various internet message boards lately, which is the reason I wanted to …

Its a year since the Chris Benoit tragedy.
I’ve gone back and forth on whether or not to write anything about it, but felt it right to at least acknowledge it. After all, two innocent people in the Benoit household were murdered as a result of the Benoit’s actions.
We still don’t know what happened inside the Benoit’s home on that day, and likely never will. Do you even want to know? I know I don’t.
Its hard to believe it was only a year ago to be honest. It feels like a …
