Reason? Hookers and blow. Suffice to say, I haven't been watching any current wrestling at all for the past few weeks and it's mainly because the last "RAW" I watched was so atrocious, I couldn't ha...

End. Sadly, this is not enough to flesh out an acceptable blog, so I'll just dig down deep and get right to it. From the opening segment on, there was not one thing on this sh...

I had my doubts going into this week's show, for some reason. But luckily, this week ended up showcasing two amazing matches, progress in developing a wrestler's new gimmick, and nice touch of nostalgia from a guy who, sadly, may never rea...

And after last nigh...

Now, while I didn't actually watch the show, I did skim through the happenings during the matches and find out the most important fact: who got the W....

While WWE have been treading and relying on rivalries set up months ago to pad out this show, they have been doing an alright job stretching them out ...

Coming off of a pretty alright debut, can "Superstars" keep momentum going and still have promise for the months coming up? Ki...

So I will just make my reviews very short for those... and go... "RAW" I was hoping to ...
