WWE 12 – Initial Thoughts

Just wanted to drop in with two cents on WWE 12… as everyone’s well aware, WWE 12 has had it’s fair share of problems – for instance, in the two weeks since the game’s release, THQ’s online servers have struggled to cope with the demand. (more…)

WWE Raw – London (11/11/11) Report; Dolph Ziggler gets a birthday present after the main event

The show was almost sold out, I’d guess around 17,000 sold (from around 18,000 available). As with all of the other shows, there were a lot of kids present, and the merchandise was selling very well. (more…)

DVRs vs Sky+ (Just Watch It Live!); MITB

If you wanted to record a TV programme back in the “old days” (God, I’m sounding older than 27 here!) it was a little fiddly. Ten years ago, you had to put a video tape into a machine, set timers (or enter a code, if you had and trusted Videoplus) and hope that your show either didn’t start late, run late, or get bumped from the schedules.

Mini Thoughts: Wrestling, Kanyon, Travel, Tech

It’s been a while since I’ve done an update on here… since WrestleMania, in fact. But nothing much has really grabbed my eye, so rather than a long, badly thought out post about nothing, here’s a long, badly thought out post about a lot of little things! (more…)

WrestleMania 26 – Preview & Picks

Just days away now from WrestleMania, and things look set for WWE to have one of their most successful Manias in history. With several good matches on paper, this is also the first Mania in years that I’m looking forward to watching on TV.

The grand-daddy of them all, as it used to be called before it produced such offspring as Breaking Point and Bragging Rights, should easily live up to it’s brand name… and here are some of my picks. (more…)

WrestleMania Memories – Live

As you’ll have noticed from the two WrestleMania memories columns I’ve penned so far, there are two omissions in the line-up. I was lucky enough to get to both WrestleMania 20 and 24, and here’s my brief memories from those shows live. Having experienced both shows by way of a WWE-made travel package, the experiences here aren’t probably the average fan’s views, but watching these shows live were definitely better than sitting at home and watching it on TV.

WrestleMania Memories – Part 2

After WrestleMania X-Seven, the WWF’s creative juices had well and truly peaked. Of course, that doesn’t mean that the WrestleManias after that sucked –  just that they naturally struggled to hold a candle to the blow-away event from Houston. (more…)

WrestleMania Memories – Part 1

With WrestleMania a little under two weeks away… and my plans well and truly set for the big show, it’s time for the predictable set of brief ‘Mania articles. This one will be the first of two posts about my general memories, followed by a piece on my live WrestleMania experiences, and finally my predictions.

This year will be the first time since 2008 that I’ve not done a preview “show” for WrestleMania, following the live 2008 show from Florida, and last year’s preview with Colin Vassallo live from Houston. Of course I miss doing those shows, but I know that Adam will have the best seat in the house come March 28. (more…)
