This day in Wrestling History

By -
For the first time in over a month i am doing a this day in Wrestling History hopefully people will be a little more resceptive to it because its been gone for while. With the Royal Rumble right around the corner its only fitting to do this post about this first Royal Rumble which took place this day 25 years ago on the USA Network. This was a special for the USA network and invented by Pat Patterson who was working backstage at the time. This event saw 8 future WWE hall of famers step into the ring on that night and probably a lot of them will be future hall of famers but wow 8 future hall of famers who knew. Probably the thing that speaks the loudest is that the shortest time in the rumble was once a little over 2 minutes held by JYD. But then of course in 1990 the Warlord broke that record & then broken again by Santino in 09 who stayed in for .1 seconds. That shows how the philosophy of the Rumble has changed over the years & look at the first two winners Duggan & Studd they really didnt have eventful careers which showed Vince something. And it showed him he can make future stars or established veterans win the match also like Michaels, Austin, HHH, Undertaker, Batista, Cena, etc. The Rumble has changed over the years but their is one thing that hasnt changed and thats the exciment the match continues to instill in every member of the WWE Universe. Who will win it this year many have their guess some say its not a guess its the truth only way to know for sure and thats tune in to the Royal Rumble this Sunday or just watch Raw the next either way you will know.

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...

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 ...
