Stephanie McMahon has come a long way from playing "daddy's little girl" on TV for her father's wrestling company.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is a mountain of a man. He's always been a big dude but it seems the last couple years he's bulked up. A lot of jokes have been thrown around questioning his methods, but there is no denying The Rock looks like he came straight off the pages of a comic b…

Wrestling legend Jerry Lawler, the self-proclaimed King of Memphis, took matters into his own hands at his hometown Grizzlies' playoff game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night. One unlucky gentlemen in a Clippers' shirt was body slammed on the hardwood court as Lawler-Mania …

WWE went big for WrestleMania 29 this year, and it paid off handsomely. WrestleMania 29 was the highest grossing event in the history of the WWE, grossing in excess of $72 million.
The Tri-State area (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut) has always been WWE's home base of operations, so it's …

WWE newcomers Eva Marie and Jo-Jo Offerman will be among the women featured on "Total Divas," the wrestling organization's new reality show set to air on E! this summer. Marie and Offerman will join five current WWE Divas: Nattie Neidhart, The Bella Twins, and The Funkadactyls…

The wrestling bug is hard to shake. Guys like Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan and The Rock always come back to the squared-circle. Lately, there have been rumblings that another legend of the WWE is about to join the rest of the boys on the road. "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels has been …

Don't challenge WWE superstar Daniel Bryan to a beard-off, because you will lose. Just ask Oakland A's outfielder Josh Reddick. The beard-off between Reddick and Bryan wasn't Reddick's idea, as the entire thing began with Bryan issuing the challenge over Twitter, but Reddick fool…

You can count on two things in professional wrestling: dudes in spandex and horrible dance numbers. There must be a connection.

When Kurt Angle joined TNA in 2006, it seemed like there might be a wrestling revolution in our midst. Seven years have passed, and while the company still exists, the uprising never came and TNA continues to tread water.
Angle has been a highlight for TNA during his stay, and he's one of the fe…

The WWE changed the design of its main championship title earlier this year. After forcing us to stare at the ugliest design in the 50-year history of the belt for nearly eight years, The Rock debuted the new title on "RAW" in February after Elimination Chamber 2013...

In the wrestling world, there's a fine line between working stiff and shooting (a.k.a actually fighting). To the fan, it's almost impossible to tell the difference, as the more real the action looks, the better work the wrestlers are doing...

What is Fandangoing? If you've been absent from the internet for the past week, let me catch you up. First of all, Fandango is a new WWE wrestler with a hot gimmick. He debuted victoriously against Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 29 on April 7...

In the late 90's, there were three "major" wrestling promotions. You had WWE/WWF, WCW, and ECW. The two latter companies eventually lost the "Monday Night Wars" (even though ECW was never a Monday night show), and were bought out by Vince McMahon and the WWE.…

It turns out that everyone's favorite wrestling movie star is back in the gym.

Big E Langston hit the WWE scene at last year's TLC pay-per-view. Before that he was destroying jobbers on NXT and pinning them for five counts. The guy is a smashing machine in pretty much every sense of the word. Unless, of course, you hand him a child's toy...

Audiences know why Willy Loman commits suicide, at least the first line of Hamlet's contemplative soliloquy, and even that Batman will eventually put the bad guy to justice. Despite knowing "what will happen," audiences are not deterred from watching the performances many time…

The professional wrestling world continues to turn following WrestleMania 29 in New Jersey. The 'Raw' crowd on Monday Night kicked off the new wrestling season with a bang, and I just hope WWE can carry that momentum into the next couple of events...

Wrestling is as hit or miss as any weekly show on television. One segment is brilliant, the next three are mind-numbingly bad, and then the main event makes you forget the last two and a half hours with its greatness. Over the years, WWE has tried a lot of things, some worked just how WWE Creative p…

It's cool for a guy to take his girlfriend to WrestleMania, right? Sure, unless that same guy has a wife, then things get complicated. For instance, that guy's wife could show up at WrestleMania with a sign calling him out for cheating and giving his section, row and seat number...

For the second year in a row, the Monday Night Raw crowd was able to make the night after WrestleMania feel almost as special as the blockbuster event.
WrestleMania 29 was about as predictable of a wrestling show as I've seen in years, and apparently the New Jersey crowd felt the same...
