The announcement earlier this week that WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart is currently suffering from prostate cancer stunned both wrestling fans and those in the wrestling business. Now, one of the places where Hart achieved some of his greatest successes is paying him tribute.
Madison Square Garden in New York City was the site of some of Hart’s greatest triumphs during his wrestling career. When one thinks of Hart and Msg, his victory over “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig at SummerSlam 1991 immediately comes to mind. In that match, Hart won his first singles title in the WWE, the Intercontinental Championship. Two and a half years later, at WrestleMania X, Hart captured the WWE Championship for the second time when he defeated Yokozuna for the strap in the show’s main event at Msg.
On Wednesday of this week, the venue honored Hart on their world famous marquee...

In this regular feature I intend to put my quarter-of-a-century of wrestling viewing to good use by helping to educate and inform the modern fan about the greats of a generation they missed out on.
Curt Hennig was a great worker, famous for his bumping ability, tremendous selling and ability to get the best out of anyone he worked with. Curt was a generous performer in the ring, putting his own body on the line for the benefit of his opponent. When he passed away in 2003 the wrestling world lost one of the greats, and chances are many of the new generation of wrestling fans have never had the pleasure of watching him wrestle.
It would be easy to randomly select seven great Curt Hennig matches, and lists of that ilk are readily available for those who want them. Everybody knows about Hennig’s classics with Bret Hart...

This week’s Smackdown was primarily used to set up two further matches for the upcoming SummerSlam Pay Per View. Most match announcements are usually made on Raw, but with this year’s PPV clocking in at a mammoth four hours, the WWE’s secondary show actually had some storyline importance this week.
The wrestling itself was incredibly pedestrian, with none of the show’s four matches truly standing out as a highlight, but a few main angles were kept ticking over nicely – something of a rarity for Smackdown these days.
Official business aside, the show also featured its usual dollop of confusion, chaos, and general strangeness. Fans were treated to several New Day antics, an Attitude Era-style catfight, and two (yes, two!) Roman Reigns crowd entrances – always a source of unscripted entertainment.

The 1989 Royal Rumble was a historic show because it was the first time the Rumble was a pay-per-view show. The previous year’s Rumble was a three hour event on USA Network that was done as a counter to an Nwa PPV on the same night. After the success of that show in 1988, WWE decided to make it an annual PPV event.
With the launch of the Rumble as an annual January PPV event, it meant that WWE would have four standard PPVs every year with the Rumble starting the year off, then WrestleMania in late March or early April, SummerSlam in August and Survivor Series in November. They became known as the “big four” events in the WWE year until King of the Ring started in 1993 and monthly PPVs began in 1995.
The WWE Champion going into the show was Randy Savage, who held the title for nearly ten months at this point.

Back in the day, Summerslam was considered the second-most important pay-per-view event of the year, right behind Wrestlemania. Summerslam has provided wrestling fans with many great memories and great matches from legendary performers who showcased their talents on the big stage of the World Wrestling Federation (and later, World Wrestling Entertainment).
But what about those matches and moments that we’ve shoved away from our minds? How about the matches that were so incredibly terrible or awful that we would rather pretend they never happened?
Those are my favorite kinds of lists.
You see, anyone can make a list of great matches or moments because they are so easy to remember. We all know that Bret Hart and Curt Hennig put on a classic for the ages in 1991 or that the Rock and Triple H had a career-defining ladder match in 1998.
However, it’s tougher (and, admittedly, more...

WrestleMania XXX has come and gone, but the anticipation for the next extravaganza is never too far removed from the wrestling enthusiast’s mind. Part of the allure of “The Granddaddy of Them All” is the memories shaped by WrestleMania’s past. No setting has produced as many classic matches that come to define a person’s wrestling fandom.
After a few weeks of processing the happenings of the latest “Showcase of the Immortals,” it is time for the annual update to the list of WrestleMania’s greatest matches. Did any matches from Mania XXX make the cut?

When the ring bell tolls no longer,
And 3-counts fail to crown new champions,
Those legacies that endure far stronger
Are of personalities bright as distant suns.
The lasting fables of our squared circle
In spotlights, flares, fireworks, and beating drums
Belong not to boundless leapers or dreamers vernal
But weary warriors, they to time and injury succumb.
From that quantity of blood, bile, and broken bones
Left adorning small venue canvas mats,
Is a quality of effort, paid dues with named unknowns
In backwater towns and untelevised combats.
Molded and refined in the minor-league trots
Our crusader, crazed-eye hero,
Took his lumps, bumps, and violent spots
As "The Genius", "The Spider", nee Randall Poffo.
In the same year as my birth
The '85 Wrestling Classic
Came an elemental cosmic burst,
Of a savant, a beastly Savage with ferocity graphic.
