Old Man Cena by @ThatDaveGuy of That Wrestling Blog!

At 37 John Cena is not what you'd call old. But so far in 2015 two members of the WWE roster have been scripted to mention that 'The CeNation Leader' is "old", the implication being that he's past his best. The first was Seth Rollins in the build to Royal Rumble. The second was Rusev in the build to Fast Lane. Neither ...

WWE Fast Lane 2015 preview by @ThatDaveGuy of That Wrestling Blog!

Over the last month there's been a lot of talk about Roman Reigns' controversial victory in the Royal Rumble match. It's been a bit confusing, mostly because Reigns won the Rumble completely fairly. He eliminated Big Show and Kane, they came back into the match illegally and The Rock showed up to help Reigns ...

The Sexcellent Scandal of WWE's Seth Rollins! by @RealJasonRivera of ListenToThisShow.com

This Monday, events transpiring on Social Media would actually take precedence over the events on WWE's Monday Night RAW program when out of nowhere, the Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts of WWE Superstar Seth Rollins were (allegedly) hacked into.  I say "allegedly" because if a password was known by, ...

EVOLVE 37 review by @ThatDaveGuy of That Wrestling Blog!

Despite being accidentally kicked in the head Drew Galloway at the end of the previous evening’s show Heather Lynn was in the ring when the EVOLVE 37 stream started up. She introduced the show before coming over all woozy and in need of a sit down. Joanna Rose replaced her to handle the intros of the first match. If ...

Random Wrestling Recap #1: WWE Unforgiven 2004 by Suit Williams of ListenToThisShow.com

Hey everyone, I’m Suit Williams. If you don’t remember me, I used to be one of the poor unfortunate souls that reviewed TNA Impact back during the JasonRivera.com days. I wanted to do more writing for Listen to This Show, so I decided to use the WWE Network to help me. I came across this website that gives you ...

EVOLVE 36 review by @ThatDaveGuy of That Wrestling Blog!

EVOLVE kicked off the year with what has become an annual visit to Florida. The first of the weekend’s two shows kicked off with Joanna Rose welcoming us to the Orpheum (WWN’s preferred Florida location) and introducing “new” Open the Freedom Gate champion, Johnny Gargano. She said new even though Gargano had had the ...

Wrestling Recap: WWE Monday Night RAW is Riv, February 9, 2015 by @RealJasonRivera of ListenToThisShow.com

Time for that RAW recapping thing I do.  Once NCIS ends. Somebody died.  Cool.  Sometimes I randomly catch myself wondering if Abby from NCIS does anal sex.  Last week the face of Wrestlemania was changed when Daniel Bryan was inserted due to public fan opinion.  WWE brass cares ...

31 Possibilities by @ThatDaveGuy of That Wrestling Blog!

WrestleMania 31’s beginning to take shape. Roman Reigns has won the Royal Rumble and seems likely to retain his number one contender status against Daniel Bryan at Fast Lane. Doing so will see him go on to challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE title. Lesnar isn’t currently scheduled to defend his title at Fast Lane, making ...

Wrestling: A Beginner's Guide to New Japan Pro Wrestling! By Justin McDonald of ListenToThisShow.com

So, at the time of this writing the entire WWE Universe has turned heel on World Wrestling Entertainment. The hashtag of #CancelWWENetwork is trending world wide, and people are actively shilling both indy promotions and New Japan Pro Wrestling. So much so, that NJPW World went down temporarily from a sudden influx ...

Cena Versus Rusev by @ThatDaveGuy of That Wrestling Blog!

We found out on the studio-bound post-Royal Rumble episode of RAW that Fast Lane will feature the first ever (televised) match between John Cena and Rusev. It was unexpected. Despite the two men having a bit of a shout at one another the previous evening on the Rumble fallout show nobody had expected their match to occur ...

NXTweet 04.02.15 by @ThatDaveGuy of That Wrestling Blog!

Another Takeover special has snuck up on us. Pretty easy when it’s a month earlier than expected. This was what’s come to be known as a “go home” episode. That’s a term I loathe, for the record. I don’t think it will ever appear on this blog again. This show featured the semi-final matches in the NXT number on contenders ...

Marital Troubles by @ThatDaveGuy of That Wrestling Blog

One of the few consistent stories WWE’s told over the last few months has been the one concerning the marital problems of Tyson Kidd and Natalya. It’s been a prominent part of Total Divas and has been a regular, if minor, aspect of the pair’s appearances both on the main roster TV shows and NXT. All the signs indicate ...

The Steve Austin Show by @ThatDaveGuy of That Wrestling Blog

Why does ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin not have a greater presence on the WWE Network? Roman Reigns on the screen there. Keeping him strong. To a certain demographic Austin is still a very appealing figure. That demographic forms a large part of the WWE Network’s subscriber numbers1. There are people that would pay to ...

There's Something About NXT by @ThatDaveGuy of That Wrestling Blog

Would Itami get as much time on RAW? In 2014 NXT gained a reputation for being WWE’s best weekly show. RAW was too long and burdened with filler material, SmackDown was mostly inconsequential, and Main Event and Superstars were entirely skippable. This rep must have been great news for the separate roster that competes ...

The Manager of Champions by @ThatDaveGuy of That Wrestling Blog

Heyman trying to telepathically communicate with Lesnar. It’s looking like Brock Lesnar may soon be losing the WWE championship. Whether he loses the prize to Roman Reigns in the WrestleMania main event, to a Money in the Bank contract cash-in from Seth Rollins or via some other, as yet unknown, means, the likelihood ...

WRESTLING RECAP: WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW, FEBRUARY 2ND, 2015 by @RealJasonRivera of ListenToThisShow.com

Time for RAW – there was no recap last week because I felt like recapping snowed-in promos just wasn’t going to cut it.  Following all the backlash from Roman Reigns’ general existence, WWE is looking to try to right some wrongs tonight and have been hyping that HHH has a big announcement tonight. div class="image-block-wrapper ...

The Year of 'The Beast' by @ThatDaveGuy of That Wrestling Blog

A few weeks ago I wrote about Brock Lesnar’s future. I ended by predicting that he would move back to MMA, mostly because I don’t think WWE will want to continue paying big money to someone with his schedule when they’ve had to cut costs and the Network hasn’t been the spectacular hit they predicted. But I’ve since thought ...
