Hey all, great to be back on SLTD Wrestling this week, just a short one from me today. The last few episodes of Monday Night Raw have seen Cesaro take on John Cena, after accepting the U.S. Open Challenge. This has always been a good opponent for Cesaro, to show off what he can actually …

“In professional wrestling, kayfabe is the portrayal of staged events within the industry as “real” or “true,” specifically the portrayal of competition, rivalry and relationships between participants as being genuine and not of a staged or pre-determined nature. Kayfabe has also evolved to become a code word of sorts for maintaining this “reality” within the …

There’s something that’s been bugging me for a while now in the world of professional wrestling and I feel like now that I have the proper forum I need to get it off my chest. It’s probably not what you’re thinking. It’s not the misuse of talent by Vince McMahon. It’s not that TNA has …

One of the biggest talking points to come out of this week in wrestling has been the rumour that Dolph Ziggler, who has been working for the WWE for over a decade, might be finally giving the company the boot once his contract expires in the coming months. I said it a couple of weeks …

The lyric above is pretty apt this week. It comes from a song called ‘Entertain Me’, in a week where both of the televised wrestling shows I generally watch failed miserably to do that. This week has been one of the most predictable in wrestling. On top of that, someone recommended I watch NXT… But …

Impact. What a show. For months it barely scraped above average, with the occasional swing either way into complete rubbish or almost acceptable. Russo was back, and despite all the denials, we all knew he was back. We had a PPV where every match had a stipulation, we had Bully with his list, and worst …

Last week, I said I was not going to write about the WWE Network, apparently its 9.99 by the way, but like Vince McMahon in an exploding car, if I don’t mention the fantastic Duckman article from last week, or the fact I said I was not going to write about the network, you should …

This week I have been thinking long and hard about what I would write about, mainly because nothing much is happening. Then, on Sunday my inspiration came at Battleground. It actually had very little to do with the PPV itself, and more to do with the reaction from a certain section of the world to …

After last week’s marathon article, this week I intend to keep it pretty brief,for a couple of reasons. Number one is I had an exam to sit, and it was pretty important, so most of my time has been devoted to that, number two, appropriately, is TNA. With my free time taken up by the …

Welcome to the dungeon! Does anyone remember the days when the ring announcer would introduce the matches by saying, ‘this match is for one fall with a 20 minute time limit’? That’s something we don’t hear anymore as the rules of a pro-wrestling match have declined over the years. My question is, should the …

After the rousing reception I got for my first ever piece the other week about ECW, I’ve been buoyed into going at it again and once again, I’ve gleaned my inspiration whilst listening to those fine fellows on SLTD Radio. The subject matter of one of their most recent shows was the Attitude Era and …
