Though many may not know about this promotion it is one of the top indy promotions in the buisness today next to Dragon Gate, Evovle, & ROH of course. The company is called FIP or Full Impact Pro which has been a company since their debut show in Floridia 8 years ago today. The show opended up with Hector Guerrero vs Aaron Epic which Hector won and started the show of good with a big win for a crowd favorite. During the show people saw familar faces like Gangrel, Kid Romeo (from WCW), Mike Graham, & future TNA star David Young. The show was Main Evented by 3 more familar faces in a match all of them are acustomed to a Hardcore Match. With Mike Awesome vs New Jack vs Justin Credible and Mike won sending the fans home happy seeing such a good match. FIP had a working agreement with ROH until 2009 then they switched to having that agreement with Dragon Gate currently. Dragon Gate is were their ex-booker Gabe Saplosky went after parting ways with the promotion in 2009. Though this company has been around for 8 years they still have not been able to secure enough money or a tv deal to make to the big time like some other indy promotion before them.

As of this writing there are rumors going through WWE that Zack Ryder could be on his way out of WWE not only with other people but he could be asking for his release in the very near future. As he has hinted on more then one occasion that he is frustrated with how WWE has been using him. At first it boiled over back in the Summer with the mid card guys but now since nothing has changed Ryder and others have adopted the "I don't give a s***" attitude when it comes to if they get fired or not. Once again I don't know everyone all I know is that it is a lot of the mid-card & divas who feel they are not being valued as good as they should be. Ryder has said it on his Youtube show Z True Long Island Story that WWE dropped the ball with him and that 2012 sucked for him. Which I agree with both statements I mean it was the perfect opportunity for WWE to push someone new but they instead botched it and made him lose all of his momentum. For one reason he wasn't push ...

Gold Dust is a Must during the mid 1920's Toots Mondt this is prior to his partnership with Vince. SR, Billy Sandow ex wrestler like Mondt, & Ed Lewis who at that time still fought formed the first promotion. This was originally just to make it so Lewis had opponents all the time but it invovled into something bigger.  Thanks to the innovations from Toots like shorting the matches, creating time limits, made package shows instead of one match, etc their business took off. At one point these guys had 500 stars and revolutionized the business as we know it & developed a thing called kayfabe. Which is baiscally what we call nowadays going by the script but back then everything was in kayfabe because it was before the internet, noisy fans, & Jack Pfefer. These 3 guys went on to be known as the Gold Dust Trio for all the time that their company was in exsistance. The trio also relized that the fans would get tired of the same person as champion aka Lewis so h...

This Day in Wrestling History

Today way back in 1983 a Huge event was born it took place in the Greensboro Coliseum on November 24 1983. I refer to the Wrestlemania of JCP/WCW the December extravaganza Starrcade 83. This was the first year this event which would become an annual show for the Crockett's would be held. The show was helded by Ric Flair challenging the Champion Harley Race for the World Title. Also a highlight from the show was Roddy Piper vs Greg Valentine in a Dog Collar Chain Match which in that match, Piper's ear was so damaged in the match that he lost hearing in his ear. A few other major matches, Magnum TA vs Tully Blanchard in a I Quit Match, Ric Flair vs Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair vs Sting, Bret Hart vs Goldberg, Vader vs Ric Flair, & many more great matches. Even though the history of Starrcade isn't as rich in many's mind as Wrestlemania but to be honest in the mind of all the WCW fans who valued it more then WWE and were lost when WCW went out. They would buy it in a heart ...
