Unfortunate Circumstances

By -
I just found out some very sad news it is that former Pro-Wrestler Mike Gosset better known as the son of Wrestling Legend Eddie Gosset or Graham. I am referring to Mike Graham he was 61 years old we have found out that sadly Mike took his own life. Mike started wrestling in 1972 for his father Eddie in his dad's company Championship Wrestling from Florida. By the way Championship Wrestling from Florida was an NWA territory back in the day. For those who may think that Eddie pushed his son just because it's his son well your wrong Mike never really reached Main Event status. As during his career Mike was considered more of tag team wrestler as he held 25 total tag team titles thought his career various territories. But for the most part he had a majority of his success in Florida obviously where he won every CWF title including being 16 time tag team champion. The things that caught my attention is that for the most part he always changed his partners as during his career he massed a total of 9 different tag partner over his 25 title reigns.
After Mike's active wrestling career ended he stayed within the business acting as a Road Agent for WCW, and later on for indy companies TCW & XWF. He also was on the booking commitee in WCW around 1999 & was a trainer in the WCW Power Plant. More recently Mike worked with WWE doing various projects for Classics on Demand but probably the most rewarding was inducting his father into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2008.

In closing I offer my deepest condolences to Mike's family, friends, & fans from the stories I have heard about Mike he was a great man and the Wrestling business has suffered yet another great loss.
RIP Mike Graham

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 ...
