BOOT CAMP

How’s it hangin’, heroes?

I hope all is well with you since the last time we met up. I know as much as anyone that life has a shitty way of making a 180 degree turn on you without any warning. One day, life is great. 15 minutes later, you wanna put a hole in your skull. Now, I would strongly advise against doing that. I don’t advocate suicide by any means. In fact, I have lost loved ones to that, so I am in no way saying it’s EVER an option for anyone. When life starts to suck a little too much for you….do whatever you need to in order to change that. Sometimes, the only person who can alter your life for the better is YOU. Remember that, troops! Your friendly neighborhood Sarge isn’t just in this for the innuendos and the poop jokes. I care about each and every one of you, and that goes double for the fine lady and gentlemen who serve with me on this team….The Fatal 4-Way!

Speaking of trying to change my life for the better, I have been feeling a bit under the weather since last Monday. I came down with some kind of cold or sinus infection, and it isn’t any fun at all. I stayed home from work for two days last week, kept myself all doped up and guzzled enough soup, orange juice and coffee to choke a Sasquatch. After those couple of days, I felt well enough to go back to work, but I have not been 100% at all. Mostly, still having some nasal issues and needing to blow my nose every so often. It gets really annoying, especially when I am at work. However, I am continuing to take my meds and things are going about as well as can be expected.

So, if I happen to begin sounding like a goober on here at any moment, it’s probably just the drugs.

Or, the beer.

Or, both.

Alright, first of all, I need to address this Total Divas situation. I am going to admit that I haven’t been watching the show as intently as I did the past couple seasons. Maybe I am getting bored with it, or just tired of some of the people. I did find it hilarious how Daniel Bryan kept calling Brie Bella and asking her why she was spending money, and knowing where she was all the time because the bank was sending him text messages about the activity on his credit cards. I had to giggle a little bit at how creeped out Brie was getting when DB kept on calling and knowing where she was and how much of his money she was pissing away.

What bothers me is all the new people they are adding to the show. First, it was Summer Rae. Then, Rosa Mendez. Now, I hear the next season is going to include both Alicia Fox and Paige. Seriously? Who is left who is not on the show? I guess only AJ now. I’m sorry, but this Total Divas thing is getting out of control, and if there is any truth to that rumor that nobody who is currently on the Total Divas cast can hold the Divas Championship, then what the fuck are they supposed to do with it? AJ can’t be the champ forever. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course.

I say they need to scrap the God-awful Divas title altogether and bring back the old Women’s Championship belt. The one held by the likes of Lita, Trish Stratus and Beth Phoenix. Put aside all the kayfabe crap about it being divided in two by LayCool and bring back a title that holds some prestige, though I highly doubt any of the current Divas could do that title the justice it deserves anymore.

Speaking of female superstars (not necessarily Divas), there is a new champion over in TNA……and her name is Havok!

Making a huge and impressive impact (no pun intended) in her debut, Havok made short work of the Knockouts who stood in her way, including the former champion, Gail Kim.

Because of her size and sheer dominance, Havok has been compared to former TNA Knockout, Awesome Kong. I am perfectly okay with that. It’s nice to see a fresh face with the Knockouts title for once rather than the same three or four people passing it back and forth.

I honestly think it’s time somebody called the ASPCA and had them come in to get rid of all the damn animal gimmicks in WWE these days. El Torito, Mini-Gator and that fucking stupid Bunny! They told us we have lapsed from the PG Era and we’re now in the “Reality Era”, but because of garbage like this, I am calling it the “Really?? Era”. I call it that because all this crap makes me sit here asking “really??”. If I facepalm too many more times, I will have a permanent hand print on my face….and trust me, I look strange enough already. I don’t need any help becoming even more hideous than God already made me, people!

Take the bull, the gator and the bunny….grab the Gobbledy Gooker and Mantaur….gather up the Muppets! Shove them all into a big burlap sack and toss them into the river!

Okay, I seriously think that WWE has lost its frickin’ mind. First, they take all their PPVs and show them on the WWE Network exclusively. People who don’t have the Network, or can’t use it for some reason (like me) cannot watch their PPVs anymore because of this. Sure there’s streaming, but I’d rather not spend the next month trying to repair my laptop from the damage all the viruses and malware from those sites would do. But now, WWE has not scheduled Brock Lesnar for at least the next two PPVs, which means he will not compete again until the Royal Rumble, at the very soonest. That means no big championship matches for the next two months, let alone this Sunday at the Hell In A Cell PPV. Where’s the big draw with no World Heavyweight title match? I heard WWE is looking to focus on some of the lesser titles and take the PPV spotlight away from the top tier performers more often now. May I ask….WHY?? How is that going to “put asses in the seats”, as the saying goes? I guess since all PPVs are on the Network now, WWE can pretty much feed its subscribers whatever they want. They’ve already got their money. Not like there is any concern over PPV buy rates anymore. People subscribe to the Network and are roped into a 6-month commitment regardless. What they choose to do with their subscription is their choice. Watch PPVs or not….as The Rock would say “It doesn’t matter what they do!”.

You know something, folks? I actually felt bad for Damien Sandow when he was stuck in “gimmick Hell” and going nowhere. Every week, a new terrible impersonation. Each one seemed worse than the next, and it seemed like the torment would never end. I don’t know who he pissed off up in that lofty tower in Stamford, but it almost appeared as though Sandow was paying a heavy price for something we weren’t quite aware of. Maybe it was some kind of curse for having his one great match against John Cena, losing and then being doomed to job for the rest of his career until he either asked to be released, or jumped in front of a speeding truck one day.

Then, along came The Miz, fresh off a triumphant “straight to DVD” adventure in “The Marine 4”. As full of himself (and shit) as ever before, Miz is in full fake movie star mode, and now refers to his face as “The Money Maker”. I laugh at that because all I have heard being call that in the past is a woman’s ass. So, Miz is comparing his face to a stripper’s cornhole? I can see the resemblance. Can you?

So, Miz is afraid of getting his face messed up and ruin his marketability in Hollywood. Did you just roll your eyes, or was it me? Miz is so scared of this, he needs to hire a stunt double to take the bumps in his place.

Enter Sandow. (to the tune of Metallica)

Sandow takes on the role, and the new name “Damien Mizdow” and his job is to pretty much mimic everything Miz does. That, and get the crap kicked out of him while The Miz sits back and watches. What fresh Hell is this? While it seems like a more steady line of work for Mizdow, I have to wonder if it’s really “better” for him in the long run. All Mizdow has to do is do everything The Miz does. All his mannerisms and movements. It’s almost like playing a live action game of Dance Dance Revolution, only without the fun, and about ten times the opportunity for public humiliation.

However, with this new 24/7 role as Miz’s human shadow, it makes me wonder….what happens when Miz takes a dump? When he takes a shower? How does Mizdow copycat this? Where does Mizdow sleep, and does he have to maintain the same sleeping positions as The Miz does as well? That takes some crazy talent! But, perhaps most baffling and disturbing of all….what does Mizdow do when Miz and Maryse are having sex? Is he required to copy all Miz’s moves then as well? Does Mizdow simply huddle in the corner and masturbate as he cries himself to sleep? Actually, my sources have revealed recently that Maryse has her own stunt double for these types of situations…..and it’s an inflatable sheep named Melissa.

Okay, people. I think enough trouble has been caused for now. Maybe I should call it a day and get the Hell out of Dodge before any real harm comes to anyone. It’s all in good fun, right?

The correct answer is “Yes!”. Everybody knows that. Everybody who doesn’t want a boot leather enema, that is! So, I guess I’ll be seeing you all back here next time. Attendance will be taken. Don’t be late, if you know what’s good for ya.

Until next time, troops…..YOU’RE DISMISSED!!

Had enough yet? You got something to say to me? E-mail me at darkside619@hotmail.com and get it off your flabby little chest! Your feedback is both welcomed and encouraged, and your responses will be highlighted in my next Boot Camp article. Your orders are clear, troops……it’s time to stand up and sound off!! I’ll make you famous! >:)

Until next time, this is The Sarge…..reminding you: What is normal for the spider is chaos to the fly!

Hey everyone, how are we doing this month?! First off I would like to welcome Brandon to the Fatal 4-Way. He will be doing monthly blogs with us four! I’m pretty excited with that news. Now let’s get into some professional wrestling!

First I have to be honest with you. This past month I have been recording RAW and then watching it a few days later. The reason why I decided to do it was well there was just better things on TV! Lol My Monday nights have become so busy this year with Big Bang, Gotham, Sleepy Hallow, and Castle all on the same time as RAW. It just made more sense to record RAW. I will probably watch it live again when those shows take a break during the winter. But for now I will record RAW.

So one of the benefits on recording RAW I can fast forward through the stuff I don’t enjoy. Which is a lot! LOL But I try to watch some of good matches and I try to watch most of the promos. I really enjoyed this past weeks Promo with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. Those two guys are going to be great stars! I think you’re looking at the future of the WWE. I just hope WWE doesn’t ruin them. Also it was great seeing Mick Foley come back to RAW. He just made the promo even more special. I hope this match ends up being the main event but I have a feeling the other match will be the main event.

Which brings me to Randy Orton vs John Cena in the Hell In A Cell match. The winner gets a WWE World Championship match against Brock Lesnar. Well we have seen this match so many times and I don’t really care who wins this match. I picked Cena for the obvious choice but who knows maybe I will be wrong. Lately my predictions for the PPVs have been so off. Maybe that is a good thing? I can’t predict what’s going to happen in the WWE?! Lol

I really have been enjoying the Goldust & Stardust vs The Usos. I think both of these teams have been making the tag team great! I just wished we had more tag teams for them!

Speaking about teams, it looks as though The Wyatts are going to be splitting up! I don’t really like this idea at all. These three guys have so much going on and having them all go on their own is a big mistake. I don’t know why WWE thinks this is a good idea? They haven’t even done enough things with The Wyatts as a team. These guys could do so much more. But now they are going on their own. Which sucks.

Pwinsider broke the news that The Undertaker has taken a new role within the WWE. He will be helping out NXT as an adviser. It won’t be full time but on a part time basis. I think that is great news! I know already NXT is really good but having someone like The Undertaker there to help out makes NXT even more legit. I know The Undertaker is well respected in the locker room. So the new wrestlers will be taking his advice for sure. This could make NXT even better than what it is now.

Chris Jericho will be returning to WWE in November while they are on their European tour. He will be doing a lot of the house shows against Bray Wyatt. He will also be on tour with Fozzy. So it works out both for WWE and Fozzy. Also Chris Jericho released a new book too. I will probably end up getting it at some point. I’m just not too sure when I will get it though.

John Cena has been doing some Non-WWE Films. They are supposed to come out in 2015. I read a review of one film that he is playing in and apparently he does a really great job! It is a comedy and the character that he is supposed to play is nothing like the John Cena we see on TV. Which is good thing…actually I’m going to say a great thing! Lol I’m curious how this will turn out for Cena. If these movies do well and he is good in them, we could see him leave WWE more often! Well maybe! Lol But who knows for sure.

Anyway that’s it for me this month! I hope everyone enjoys Hell In The Cell PPV on Sunday! Have a nice day! 🙂

Hey there stars and studs, how’s the fall season treating you? It’s been a busy month and the countdown is on until this Diva becomes, Mama Diva. Lol!! I’m so not ready, lol. But I’ll shut it and get to bidness.

I attended the 2^nd annual Hamilton Comicon this year with my boyfriend (now common-law hubby), and his best friend, again. I ran into a good friend, who actually has written for us way back in the early days, Darren, and his wife and baby girl. I wasn’t sure what I was in for in terms of lines but I had three missions, and I accomplished all three of them. 1) Trish Stratus, 2) get Million Dollar Man to sign the figure Mat bought me last year in Niagara Falls, and 3) Meet Hacksaw Jim Duggan. I was not ready for the amazing experience I had with Trish. To anyone who was in line behind me, I’m sorry you had to wait an additional 15 minutes while we had girl chat. Lol! Who am I kidding, I’m not really that sorry.

Trish Stratus looked fantastic. She was spending a decent amount of time with her fans, checking to make sure they had a good picture and everything.

When I walked up, she knew who I was. I had tweeted earlier that I was going to be meeting her for the third time, and she retweeted me. I was greeted by my full name. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing. I’m not a stalker but maybe I’ve been flagged. Lol! Nah! I had a photo of her and I signed that was taken at the Muscle Mag store in 2004. Then I showed her my ultra sound pictures. From there on, we were talking baby stuff. I had some questions and wanted her feedback from her experiences. What she said was amazing and definitely influential. I had always thought natural child birth was the way to go, but as I got pregnant I was questioning it. Trish made me feel better about my orginial decision, and that is what I plan on doing. Sticking to my gut instinct and having this baby, sans drugs. Then we had an indepth conversation about breasts. Lol! Let me explain…she asked if I was going to breast feed, and I said, probably not. When she asked me why, I told her that I had a breast reduction in 2004 and that they said there is an 85% chance that I can’t. She didn’t get why, so when I told her what exactly they did, she went “ohhh, gotcha!” Then she recommended skin to skin contact as much as I can, which I had planned on anyways. I think the guy standing next to me actually enjoyed the breast feeding conversation because when she apologized to him, he said, “go right ahead and talk, it’s not bothering me.” Lmao! She had me pick out a photo for the baby, as a special gift from her, and she signed it.

Thank-you to Trish Stratus for making my third experience wonderful. She’s always so classy and gracious. I also took a huge chance and handed her an anti-Marineland package and asked if she had some time to look it over. She asked me to explain what I expected and I said, simple really, look it over, and maybe tweet some stuff about Kiska’s living conditions, etc.. Be a voice because she has so much more reach than I do. I told her that my friend gave Lita the same package back in August in Toronto. She remembered that. She told me to tweet her stuff and set it up for retweeting and she will do what she can to help. Again, simply amazing.

(The guy who used my phone, somehow managed to turn the flash on, and sadly iPhone photo’s with the flash on always turn out like crap).

After leaving Trish Stratus, I headed upstairs where I encountered a trio dressed as The Wyatt Family. I was so impressed. As it turned out, the guy who was dressed as Bray Wyatt was a friend of Darren’s.

I walked over to the far corner where Ted DiBiase and Hacksaw Jim Duggan were and got into DiBiase’s line. I didn’t need to have my photo taken with The Million Dollar Man because last year I met him and had all that done. However, my amazingly sweet boyfriend left me to go buy me his action figure to get signed, figuring he would have time to get back to me with it before I met DiBiase, but he was too late. When he was late, it pissed him off. Lol!! So, I took this opportunity to get the figure that Mat had tried so hard to get to me last year in Niagara Falls, signed. While I was in line, omg this was freaking funny, I was taking pictures of the wrestlers who were there but I didn’t have on my list. It wasn’t anything against them, it was a money thing. If I didn’t have a baby on the way, there was some I definitely hit up. I took a picture of Howard Finkle and Mean Gene (I did meet Mean Gene in 2005), and to the table to the right of DiBiase was Honky Tonk Man. Honky looked like shit! He gave no care to his appearance whatsoever, and this is the funny part. The entire time I was in line waiting for DiBiase, he was shooting Ted DiBiase death glares. I mean if looks could kill, DiBiase would be 6-feet under (touch wood). I later found out that Honky doesn’t like DiBiase (no shit) because he thinks DiBiase is a lying son of a bitch and false bible thumper, and all that jazz. The death glare got some recognition on Facebook under wrestling writer, Mike Johnson’s page by Shane “Hurricane” Helms himself when he requested to see the picture I had taken. He got his wish, to which he responded with “lol”.

May I present, the HONKY DEATH GLARE!

Nice Fanny pack!

You never know who you might run into, or even accidently take photos of when you’re standing in line for wrestlers. I am a member of a group on Facebook where we discuss wrestling all the time. We all met on the Live Audio Wrestling page a few years back. And there are so many of us, that it’s hard to keep track of who is who and where they’re from. Well, two members of this group were present at the event and I managed, unknowingly, to capture them with superstars…

I’m not sure why Tugboat looks like a Village Person. Lol!! But while I was snapping that photo, I couldn’t help but notice, the infamous Shockmaster helmet siting on the table. Sarge and I are probably the only ones in this group who remembers this epic fail…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf9FVoozgBA

I had to get a picture of it for Sarge. Lol!!

The end of my experience was meeting Hacksaw Jim Duggan. I’ve never been a huge Hacksaw fan, but I watched Legends House and I really came to respect him as a man, more than a wrestler. It was when he was announced as part of Hamilton Comicon, that I made a point to find a Hacksaw figure to add to my collection and get signed. Mission accomplished. I walked up and was greeted by both Duggan and his wife Debra. Both were super nice. He asked me how long I was a wrestling fan, to which I responded 30 years, to which I got the standard, “you’re not old enough to like wrestling for that long” response. Lol. I told him I watched him on Legends House and really respected him, and he said thank-you so much. He mentioned Tony Atlas, and when I said he was an asshat, both him and Debra laughed really hard and agreed with me. Hacksaw then asked who my favourites were today and I said, Dean Ambrose, Wade Barrett, and hell I can’t remember the third one I said. Damn baby brain. He said great choices and that he really likes the old school style of Barrett in the ring and enjoys watching him. Then I handed my phone to Debra who proceeded to take like 100 pictures of me and Hacksaw, who had to switch sides mid photo shoot for a different angle, lol. OMG he was a hoot! So much energy that he made me tired. Great man, and I highly reccommend meeting him to anyone who hasn’t had the chance yet. He’s wonderful. You just never know what to expect with the legends. Honky is a prime example. I may have wanted to meet him but seeing him standing there, looking grubby and gross and giving the Honky death glare, I would have changed my mind. I’m not surprised no one was in his line.

This is certainly taking up a lot of room, so I’ll keep the rest brief.

Dean Ambrose, is on FIRE!!! He could very well replace CM Punk as one of the most entertaining speakers and in-ring workers. I’m actually watching RAW for Ambrose. I can’t think of any other reason to be honest. The more I think about it, the more I can’t think of another reason. He definitely came back and saved the damn company at Night Of Champions. I think if anyone underestimated him, then I’m guessing they are rethinking that right now. He’s killing it out there each week. Love it!!!

Total Diva’s is a bit far fetched right now. I’m having a hard time believing TJ and Nattie are having that many marital problems, partly because Nattie isn’t that great of an actress. Lol!! I love Natalya to bits, but she cannot fake cry at all. She makes Brie Bella look, actually nevermind she’s way better than Brie Bella’s acting. Way too much psycho Rosa on the show. I’m not that interested in her. She’s bat-crap crazy. I get the feeling she creeps most of the diva’s out. Lol!! I though I was horrible at reading men and saying too much before I met Mat. Lol!! She has no idea. NONE!! There isn’t a whole lot with Trinity/Naomi. I like her, she makes me laugh. We need more Trinity. Less Ariane. Nothing has changed there. I actually like Eva Marie’s husband, Jonathon. He’s level headed, except the gun thing. Mid-season finale is this Sunday at 9pm, and then we have no more Total Diva’s until January, when they will add two new cast members…. Alicia Fox (yawn, I cannot stand her and I’m sure she will irritate me), and Paige! I’m looking forward to seeing and learning more about Paige. I couldn’t have been more shocked that Paige joined if it was AJ. Hope no one holds their breath for AJ joining the cast because with her marriage to CM Punk, and her character mocking the Total Diva’s, I’m sincerely doubting she will ever be apart of the show. That pretty much leaves one diva left. Layla. I don’t care to learn anything about her.

Anyways, I find it ironic the WWE strips Daniel Bryan of the WWE World heavyweight championship because he can’t be there to defend it, but then they give it to Brock Lesnar who won’t be there to defend it. How is this logical?

I better wrap this thing up. I know most of the photos take up the space in my article but I can’t keep writing. For one thing, I’m trying to be nice and positive and leave things just like that. So I’m going now before I say something about Rosa’s smelly dried-up twat and neediness and the slutty Summer Rae who is a giant cunt. Oh wait, that counts doesn’t it? At least I didn’t say that Layla’s newly fake boobs are a few years too late and that approaching 40 isn’t the time to get fake titties. Or is it? Her’s may have been sagging pretty good. Oops! Because, In Life…There Are Winners, and There Are Losers….Be Jealous and Be Sexy!

Since I am “New Blood” here at the Fatal 4 Way blog, now is a good time as any to introduce myself to the masses. My name is Brandon, but from this point forward you may call me “The Prodigy”. Why do I call myself The Prodigy? I believe the definition defines exactly who I am and what I’m all about:

Prod·i·gy

– A person, especially a young one, endowed with exceptional qualities or abilities

– An impressive or outstanding example of a particular quality.

– An amazing or unusual thing, especially one out of the ordinary course of nature.

I am all of those things and so much more. I love to tell it like it is without sugarcoating the facts. I do not care if you agree or disagree with my opinions. I’m here to voice my opinion and voice it with pride, integrity and at a five star caliber rate that cannot be touched. Does that mean my opinions are better than anyone else? That’s for you to decide, ladies & gentlemen. I’m not here for a popularity contest. I am The Prodigy, and I’m here to make amazing happen each and every time my fingertips stroke the keys. Without any further ado let’s get started shall we?!

Disclaimer: “What you are about to read is a completely “In-Character” expression of my thoughts pertaining to the wrestling industry. Do not take what I say personally or to heart. Have fun, enjoy the material and let’s all take a ride on this crazy train together!”

Paige is on Total Divas? But she’s the Anti-Diva!!!

Now, you’re probably going to think I’m going to pitch a fit and throw a tantrum over Paige becoming a part of Total Divas. Oh how wrong could you people be! I was legitimately surprised when I heard the news on a rainy Monday afternoon that Paige and Alicia Fox were going to join the cast. As the news broke, so did the hearts of every single “RAM-Paiger” all over Social Media. I sat back and took in the hilarious spectacle of pure, unrelenting hatred pouring from the IWC towards Vince McMahon, WWE and even Paige to a certain extent. Reading each and every reaction was downright hilarious and comical. My IQ rate continued to go down as I continued to reach each and every scathing tweet.

I want to get something straight with you guys. Paige is just twenty years old, okay. In over a year, this woman has become the NXT Women’s Champion and defended the championship flawlessly. She debuts on the WWE main roster and defeats AJ Lee to become the youngest WWE Divas Champion in company history at twenty one. On top of that, she becomes the first (and likely only) Diva to hold both, the NXT Women’s Championship and WWE Divas Championship at the same time! Currently, she’s a former two-time Divas Champion and is sharing the spotlight with her on screen rival, AJ Lee.

The point I’m getting as this. Paige has ALREADY done everything in the WWE (laughs). Seriously! The amount of people that are so upset over her appearing on a Reality TV show is ridiculous. My advice to those people is to take a chill pill and relax! Let Paige have her fun on Total Divas. As a matter of fact, give this a chance before automatically brushing it off as the worst thing to ever happen in your life. Be happy for Paige! Look at the positives too. We’ll get to see more of Paige on a weekly basis. She will get more exposure and draw in a new audience to her character.

The common theme I keep seeing is Paige is losing her “Anti-Diva” themed gimmick by taking on this role. I swear, you guys are a whole new breed of STUPID! By appearance alone, she is already an Anti-Diva when compared to the other women in WWE. Her hair, ring attire, attitude, you name it. It SCREAMS Anti-Diva each and every time she steps through those ropes. I’m not at all worried about her gimmick becoming tainted. I think she’ll do fine on the show. Speaking as a huge fan of hers, I’m curious to see what her life is like behind the squared circle. Who she hangs out with, what’s her favorite places to go, what’s going through her mind on a day to day basis, etc. That’s the stuff that I am looking forward to the most. In closing, for the people that are so butt-hurt and upset, get off your high horse and give that woman a chance. #TotalAntiDiva

Can TNA be saved? The INTERNET seems to think they’re doomed!

Speaking as a TNA Wrestling fan, I have become accustomed to the “TNA hate”, as I like to call it for the last twelve years and counting. The Internet Wrestling Community is nothing more than a fickle, piss-poor excuse for wrestling “fans”. You guys will go whichever way the wind will take you and clearly don’t have a mind of your own. One thing is for certain, you guys just LOVE to hate TNA Impact Wrestling.

People scream, beg and plead for “change” in the wrestling industry. Ironically, the same people who want WWE to get away from their family friendly image and go back to the Jerry Springer like atmosphere of the Attitude Era are the SAME people who hate TNA with a passion. You guys want an alternative and TNA gives you that. Even still, most of you refuse to give this organization a chance. Whether that is because of sheer “WWE loyalty” or another act of pure ignorance (I’m going with the latter for $500 dollars, Alex!) is debatable. Now, let’s examine and compare the Pro’s & Con’s between the two organizations.

· They’re a family friendly, “PG” rated company geared towards children and adults alike.

· The company relies on being a pure, “Sports Entertainment” organization. They rarely refer to themselves as a wrestling company.

· The company runs 12-13 Pay-Per-View events each year.

· WWE has their own Network which covers all Pay-Per-Views, past episodes of RAW, SmackDown, NXT, Main Event and Superstars. In addition to original programming such as “Legends’ House” and “Total Divas”. You can also go back and watch content from WCW, ECW, WCCW, AWA and more! All of this for just one low price of…. (Wait for it)…. $9.99!

· They’re the #1 wrestling organization in the world.

· Divas’ matches last anywhere from a few seconds to almost five minutes on a weekly episode of RAW or SmackDown.

· WWE runs five shows a week Monday through Friday. (RAW, Main Event, NXT, Superstars and SmackDown).

· WWE currently has a “No Blood” policy in place, even though wrestlers have been cut open the hard way every now and then.

· WWE had the Cruiserweight Division at one time, which was formed after the purchase of WCW in 2001. Their last Cruiserweight Champion? Hornswoggle!

· TNA is rated TV-14. Their style of programming is geared towards the 18-35 age demographic.

· TNA promotes themselves as a WRESTLING company.

· The company used to run 12 Pay-Per-View a year. That has been reduced to just 3-4 as they have taken an old school approach to PPV programming. To make up for the loss, they run monthly “Special Events” in place of Impact Wrestling on SpikeTV with Pay-Per-View caliber match cards.

· TNA is currently ranked as the #2 organization in the world behind WWE.

· TNA puts a lot of pride into their wrestlers, particularly the Knockouts Division. Unlike WWE, their Knockouts are one of the premiere attractions for the company.

· TNA only has one show a week on Wednesday’s (Impact Wrestling).

· Unlike WWE, TNA is a more violent, hard-hitting company when it comes to their wrestling. This is a throwback to the way business used to be in the 80’s & 90’s.

· Nine times out of ten, when you see a Steel Cage or a Hardcore style match-up, you’re going to see blood and more violent spots than in WWE.

· TNA has their version of the “Cruiserweight” Division called the “X-Division” as its successor. Unlike the Cruiserweight Division, the X-Division has “no limits” in terms of weight class and has gone on to create one of the most exciting matchups in wrestling history – the Ultimate X Match!

Now, I could go on and on with these comparisons and examples, but I wanted to list what came to mind and give you guys an example of the differences and a few similarities each organization has to offer. When it comes down to it, whether you love or you hate TNA Wrestling, they are the true alternative to the WWE product in multiple ways.

One of the things I hear on a daily basis is how WWE fans yearn for a return to the Attitude Era. Well, no offense guys but if you want that style of wrestling and entertainment, tune in to TNA Impact Wrestling on Wednesday nights! While I will not call it their version of the Attitude Era by any means, it’s the closest you’re going to get to what the WWE used to be during the height of the wrestling boom period.

TNA continuously receive backlash for everything they do. I’m scratching my head and wondering what it is about the company that generates so much hatred? Better yet, why in the blue hell would people want to see this company fold and go out of business? Do you people realize that hundreds of hard working men and women would be losing their jobs? Its mind boggling at the LOGIC (or lack thereof) from the IWC as it pertains to how they judge this company. If you’re not WWE, then basically you don’t matter. To me, that is the worst attitude you can have and it makes me ashamed to even associate myself with wrestling fans who act like this day to day.

For the record, yes, I do like the WWE. I’m a pure wrestling fan and enjoy all types and varieties that each company has to offer from mainstream to the Indies. Having said that, I believe having just one company in business is the worst thing that could happen to any line of entertainment or business venture. Remember how we all felt when WWF (WWE) bought out WCW, then later purchased the remaining assets from a bankrupt ECW? Having just one major promotion being the ultimate, be all, end all juggernaut is NOT “Best for Business”. Each entity needs a rival or a competitor. Pepsi has Coca Cola. Sony has Microsoft. Currently, WWE has TNA. Having an alternative product is key and essential to ANY product!

While TNA is clearly not a threat to WWE by any stretch of the imagination, they do offer the wrestling fans a choice to turn the channel and watch something DIFFERENT from what we see on a weekly basis in WWE. That is the role TNA Wrestling plays in our industry. Being dubbed as #1 doesn’t necessarily mean you are everyone’s cup of tea. I know people who won’t watch WWE and tune in to TNA Impact Wrestling, and vice versa. The choice is yours and whichever choice you make is OKAY! However, having said that, I wish people would be more respectful and open minded to others liking a different product than they do. When you mention that you watch and/or enjoy TNA, the common reply you get is that of a “holier than thou” nature.

Bottom line, just because someone enjoys watching TNA Wrestling, Ring of Honor, Dragon Gate and so on doesn’t give YOU the right to judge and put them down because they want something new, something FRESH that WWE can’t offer to their liking. Speaking for myself, I have NO PROBLEM with anyone not liking TNA Impact Wrestling over WWE at all! What I do have a problem with is the constant “TNA sucks!”, “I wish TNA would die!”, “Why is Dixie Carter in charge? ‘F’ this company”! This stupid, elitist crap fans have is what brings my piss to a boil.

In closing, give the hard working men and women of TNA Impact Wrestling a chance. Right now, they need your support more than ever before. This is one of the many companies that are giving you what you’ve been asking for from WWE since 2008’s “PG Era” began. I’m challenging you guys to watch a month’s worth of TNA Impact Wrestling (four shows in total). This challenge goes out to new wrestling fans who may never heard of TNA Impact Wrestling before, and to the disgruntled fans who, for whatever the reason, refuse to give TNA a fighting chance. I’m interested to see what you think, for good and for bad. Leave me your thoughts on Twitter or E-Mail them to me. My information is at the bottom and I’m anxiously looking forward to all the feedback.

It’s official – I’m in wrestling HELL!

You know, I’ve been a wrestling fan for well over twenty five years and counting. During this time, I felt like I had experienced it all and seen every over-the-top character, storyline, angle, and so on from every wrestling company past and present. I wanted to believe that I’d seen every bad character and angle known to man. That was until I saw an episode of WWE Monday Night RAW and witnessed what you see in the picture above.

…are you kidding me!?

We have gone from seeing hot, WWE Divas portraying themselves to be Playboy Bunnies, to seeing an actual BUNNY wrestling! We’ve gone from seeing an Alligator Hunter by the name of “Skinner” in the early 90’s, to seeing a midget dressed up as an ALIGATOR! Now, combine the two and put them in the ring for a wrestling feud. Yeah… sounds hot, right?

I don’t know about you guys, but I agree with the “Lunatic Fringe” on this one.

THIS is the garbage we were fed on RAW a few weeks ago. Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand this was (likely) done to target kids and give them something comical to laugh at. Okay, fine! I’m all for giving the kiddies something to enjoy on a wrestling show. However, here lies the problem WWE – it didn’t F***ING WORK!!!

I don’t know where to begin with all this, I seriously don’t! You know what’s worse? The BUNNY is more OVER than Adam Rose! Now I’ll admit, when I saw “The Bunny” attack Heath Slater at ringside and beat the crap out of him, I laughed hard and thought it was hilarious. Then, WWE took this to a whole new extreme and I don’t mean the ECW variety either, boys and girls. They started booking The Bunny in matches with Adam Rose and constantly had him interfering in matches week after week. There’s even a RUMOR of the WWE putting the WWE Tag Team titles on Adam Rose and The Bunny at some point in the future! Let that idea sink in for a minute or two…

Yes, this is me. And yes, I’m face palming hard just thinking about this sh*t!

Words cannot begin to describe my complete, utter DISGUST for this kind of storytelling. Not just in the WWE, but anywhere! I would bet the farm that even kids do not find this amusing or funny. When I saw this on RAW several weeks ago, you don’t know how bad I wanted to just say “F” the WWE, I’m done! Keep in mind, I have NEVER done that with any company, and I’ve seen some pretty crappy angles and stunts before in wrestling. I live tweet all the WWE and TNA shows, and I can faithfully say that 99.9% of my followers were in favor that bullsh*t like this needs to stop!

WWE, I’m asking you guys to please stop insulting the intelligence of your audience. What may be funny to a delusional, former billionaire Vince McMahon is NOT funny to the fans. In addition to being a wrestling enthusiast and social media junkie, I am a wrestling fan by heart and want to be entertained. Seeing an effing bunny rabbit and an alligator “wrestling” is not my idea of entertainment, nor anyone else’s.

This is one of those topics I could sit back and write a novel on, but I’m not going to force my readers to suffer any more than they have to on a weekly basis on WWE television. Bottom line, give JBL a gun and let him blow the Bunny’s brains out! Hell, do something to get this garbage off our screens and give us fans what we REALLY want to see — WRESTLING!

Now that’s a crazy, HARE brain idea, huh?

That’s it for me this month. Consider me to be the man everyone hates, but wants to be. Until next time, I am The Prodigy… and you’re not. *winks*
