Goodbye!!!!!!!

I was going to do a post about the Evolve show last night but i decided not to and i just decided to do a post about the Arena instead. That arena on the corner of Swason & Ritner has seen so many incredible things in its 20 years doing wrestling shows from 29 different companies. Some great Memories are Douglas throwing down the NWA title forming ECW, the Halo incident with Gary Wolf. For those who dont know about this incident well Douglas broke Gary's neck in a match prior on accident, but then during a match vs pitbull 1, Gary came into the ring in the Halo and Shane shook the halo knocking gary to the mat. This almost caused a riot in south philly luckly nobody got seriously hurt that night. When Raven crucified the Sandman on a cross with Kurt Angle in the Audinence, Raven vs Sandman feud as a whole. Tommy getting chokeslamed out of the crowns nest by Brain Lee through 4 tables to the floor. Jerry Lawler & Jim Cornette invading ECW, Spike Dudley crowd surfing after being tossed into the stands by Bam Bam Bigelow. So many great memories have happend in this arena not only for the fans but wrestlers & wrestling as well. The first shows of CZW & Dragon Gate USA were held their thats the arena that ECW made famous. It was an indy wrestlers dream to fight in philly in that arena cause they knew if they are over in philly then can be anywhere. In my book its the reason so many companies are still in business today without some many of them wouldnt have made it this far. Like CZW & ROH, also without it DGUSA would have came in to the US cause that where they had their first show. Even though I have never been to the arena for the most part cause everyone i know doesnt want to drive to south philly no offense but i have seen a lot of the great moments in that arena and remeber them all and vividly as well. Last Nights show i do want to say i never got goosebumps that many times watching a wrestling show thank you Gabe Sapolsky for a really good show.
Well this is my goodbye to my favorite arena in the wrestling world thanks for the memories that place will always be the indy Madison Square Garden. Even though the place has changed already the memories that are in that building will never die.
RIP VIKING ARENA 1993-2011

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win. Divas Title Match: (c) Nikki Bella w/ Brie vs Paige Though this has been like much of the diva feuds of the past with the fact that this feud has gotten a lot of TV time leading into this match. However, I still fear that WWE isn't ready to give the divas a good amount of time for their matches just yet. I have a funny feeling Nikki will win with help from Brie and this may set up a tag team divas match fo...

Spring Cleaning Coming Early!!!!

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 ...
