As a follow on from my criticism of TNA’s use of aging ECW alumni Raven and Shane Douglas, I would like to make an apology.

While I criticised Raven for having been out of shape during his previous TNA run, I can see that it clearly was due to a purely medical condition, and that he does seem to have got back into tremendous shape for someone of his age.

This, combined with news that TNA appears to be purely using them as a short term nostalgia act in order to promote their next PPV, casts a fresh light on what initially seemed to be a poor business move…

Hulk Hogan has said his recent divorce from wife Linda made him feel like O.J. Simpson.

Welcome back to “Throwing in the Towel”, and that horrid, post-Mania depression we all enter into for a brief period. So WrestleMania 25 was the flattest rendition of that particular event for a number of years, and the WWE don’t especially care- as they steer us towards another show in a couple of weeks, with a very TNA type flavour to it. Meanwhile, the brand split means absolutely nothing, and the highlight of this week’s television was a man approaching sixty (no… not Vince). Yuck.

So what better way to pass the time, and alleviate those blues, than to slap some nostalgia into that shiny disc player, and bask in the glories of…

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.

The Associated Press today covered the latest drama from the Hogan divorce saga, following on from the video footage we posted earlier today.

Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea gets into a verbal confrontation with his estranged wife’s lawyer following a court hearing (CNN Video).

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…

A demo of the highly anticipated title from THQ is now available.

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…

The Oscars take place Sunday night with Mickey Rourke nominated for Best Actor in a Feature Film for his role in “The Wrestler”.

Eric Bischoff has ripped on TNA in an interview with The Sun here in the UK.

Bischoff was promoting Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling, which starts in the UK on Bravo tomorrow (Saturday) night.

Bischoff admitted that TNA had approached him in the past about joining the company, but said: “The people that are involved in the creative process and vision for TNA are people that couldn’t get a job in WWE or shouldn’t have had a job in WCW.

“There’s no vision for that company.

“They are people who have never been to the…
