This Day in Wrestling History

By -
This day 13 years ago many thought would just be the day that WCW would have another one of their ppv's but little did they know this day would be the ending of and era in away. The ppv I am referring to is Superbrawl 2000 which was headlined by Sid Vicious vs Jeff Jarrett vs Scott Hall for the World Title. Some other matches on the show were: Billy Kidman vs Vampiro, Hulk Hogan vs Lex Luger, 3 Count vs Norman Smiley, "Texas Death Match" Ric Flair vs Terry Funk, Big Vito & Johnny Stamboli vs David Flair & Crowbar & others.

The Main event was Sid vs Scott Hall vs Jeff Jarrett for Sid's World Title; many thought this would be Scott's last show in WCW. But it wasn't his last show because he got injured at the event and went into surgery but it was his last WCW match. For that reason I said this ppv would the end of an era because it was the last WCW ppv for Scott Hall. Scott with Kevin Nash helped revolutionize the business in 1996 when they formed the NWO with Hulk Hogan. But the same thing that made WCW famous in turn helped kill WCW. But it was the wrestlers as much as it was the writers for not ending the group before it got old.

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 ...

Kliq Politics

I saw a headline on a dirt-sheet earlier today that there is talk in WWE for the Kliq to get inducted into the Hall of Fame. Is this a joke, for fans who aren't aware of the backstage situation in WWE during the mid 1990's they will not understand not only the name of the group but why they are in the Hall of Fame. OK they mentioned the Kliq in the Nash/HHH/Punk feud in 2011 but still do you think people will understand why. Now if your talking about the NWO and DX as separate groups of course they both deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. But the Kliq getting inducted would be worse then seeing Drew Carey get inducted into the Hall of Fame and I mean that. This is no way saying that all members of the Kliq didn't have Hall of Fame careers but this group did nothing but hurt the WWE and their is no reason why they should be even considered for the Hall of Fame. All this and the biggest superstar in WWE history Bruno Sammartino isn't in the Hall of Fame yet it is a damn...
