Raven updated his blog the other day. He had some strong comments directed towards the "sheet writers" on various wrestling topics.

On chair shots: "Chairshots to the head should only be banned if you dont know how to throw one properly. A suplex can be deadly in the wrong hands. If you throw a chair shot correctly, or know how to bump so the chair shot only grazes you hard enough to make a noise, they are fine. It is idiots who swing for the fences or morons who dont bump with them that shoul...

John Cena was not one of those kids who watched pro wrestling and dreamed of being in the ring one day. He did watch, usually with his dad, in their West Newbury home, but Cena was too busy playing football to think about leg drops and arm drags.

Now he’s a headliner, usually the last guy to be seen each week on “WWE Monday Night Raw.” The show celebrates its 900th episode tomorrow night, broadcasting live from Boston’s TD Garden at 9 p.m.

Outside the ring, C...

"I'd imagine a lot of the old TNA guys are feeling like they're taking a back seat. The thing is..you can't argue with numbers. Last week TNA broke new all-time records for ratings! TNA needed a change. The 6-sided ring and the great technical wrestlers–that nobody knew–wasn't working. TNA brought in two rock stars, and look at the company now! Dixie often points out how hiring Jeff Hardy and RVD started a whole new era, why do some of the wrestlers not see it? Too young, too green, too s...

New Mick Foley Web Column (8/19)
COUNTDOWN TO COUNTDOWN....42 DAYS

Once upon a time, I was thought to be one of the better "promo" guys in the wrestling business; the type of guy who could grab a microphone any or no notice, in either a scripted or spontaneous environment, and entertain, possibly inform, or, once in a great while, make wrestling fans feel some kind of genuine emotion. I would think back to the David Allen Coe line from The Ride, "B...

On his website, Jim Cornette fired back at Eric Bischoff's comments about the last decade of talent, Ring of Honor and more:

"Traditionally, a guy who "draws money" means a guy who, when you have put him in main events or important programs, sells more tickets (or PPV buys these days) than other people who have been in a same/similar spot, and has done this not just once or twice but on a consistent basis. There used to be dozens and dozens of top guys who "drew money" in the territory d...
