When yesterday started it was a decent day. And then I sat down and watched part of TNA's show, and began to have other thoughts as well.Let's start with the Kevin Nash/Chris Sabin angle.You know, when this whole angle started, I actually didn't think it was such a bad idea. Here was Kevin Nash, looking for ANY WAY back into the TNA mainstream after his heart scare a few months ago, offering to

I'm not always known for my accuracy...but i'm going to make a prediction right here, and I have this horrible sinking feeling that i'm going to to watching it as it unfortunately comes true...TNA will NOT make it to their 5th anniversary...Especially as Sunday night they put a gun to their heads and pulled the trigger...The conclusion to Sunday's TNA Slamiversary PPV was by far the most arrogant

Everyone has been talking and gossiping about the news that hit the internet last Sunday...that WWE was reviving ECW full time - and as soon as possible...Unless the conditions are right, ECW fans will rebel against WWE's plans...and the conditions, at least as I see them, are most certainly NOT right...WWE's revival of ECW isn't aimed at becoming a real success, and you're kidding yourself if

So this year's Royal Rumble is almost upon us....And for the second year in a row, I'm making a concsious decision to NOT order it. Not even the long awaited and highly anticipated return of Rob Van Dam in the Rumble (which, let's face it, you already know in your heart he's NOT going to to be booked to win) can get me to order it.Why? Quite simply, there's something more exciting, more

But being off work has given me time to do a few things...Including think about dreams...I grew up in a tiny town in eastern Washington state, with 500 people in the whole town.

PWTorch.Com reported last evening that Sean Waltman resurfaced after a week of being missing and not contacting anyone, as detailed in our last post yesterday.SlamJamz will let you know what's going on as soon as Waltman or his family decide to speak about it. This should be interesting when, or IF, Waltman decides to disclose why he put his friends, his family and his fans through a week of

It is now Sunday, September 18, 2005 at approximately 9 AM.One Week ago this evening at approximately 6 PM Eastern Time, Sean Waltman left his grandparents' home near Tampa Florida, headed for Orlando to do his job at TNA's UNBREAKABLE PPV. He alledgedly called TNA officials to let them know he was running late but that he was on his way.He hasn't been seen or heard from since.Sean Waltman has

Sean Waltman is likely gone from TNA after his no-show for TNA's PPV Unbreakable this past Sunday.Numerous news sites are reporting that Waltman was working on a show-by-show basis until he and TNA came to a final agreement. A contract was delivered to him two weeks ago by TNA, but he was reportedly unhappy with some of the terms, and was looking to renegotiate on several items. Some sites are

Today, something happened that I didn't think, even given this business, I would ever see...WWE.Com has a rotating headline box on their site, and on one of those boxes today is a photo and the words as follows:Bret Hart and WWE have agreed on a deal for an upcoming DVD chronicling the amazing career of the Hit Man. Bret will be in Stamford over the next several days working on the DVD.I have to

I submitted the following SlamJamz Extra to PWInsider this morning, and I don't know if Scherer will print it or not. But it's something that had to be said....***SLAMJAMZ EXTRA: A KNIFE THROUGH THE HEARTBy TC KirkhamTrust is something that is not given lightly by most people.

Matt Hardy posted the following on line this evening. In keeping with his wishes to his fans to post the info, i'm doing so here. So here goes...***One day left... Greetings everyone!

Kudos to Dave Scherer for having the guts to put up what I still feel is a rather controversial article. I hope it leads to something POSITIVE for TNA.Both parts of the Insider articles will be posted here tomorrow, as well as a link to the petititon i've created as part of it.

Part one of this weekend's PWInsider column went up over there earlier this afternoon. In it I take a look at the WWE Massacre victims and what the potential is for them in the other major players, the indies, and Japan.

PWInsider.Com is reporting that Jim Cornette has been dismissed from his position as head trainer at Ohio Valley Wrestling over the incident this past Wednesday where Cornette slapped an OVW trainee several times after the student, sitting in the audience, laughed instead of acting scared of OVW Talent The Boogyman.I know i'm showing my age, but this whole incident reminds me of when OSU's Woody

In what has to be one of the worst cases of callous cruelty i've ever seen, WWE has asked the talent it has just released to give them statements on how they feel about being released for posting on the WWE Website.Never in my life have I EVER seen such out-and-out arrogance from an organization. Here are 16 entertainment personalities who have just found out that they're being fired as part of "

Well, we've so far gotten through today without any more releases at WWE, but several knowledgable sources, including PWInsider's Mike Johnson and Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer, have said there are still more to come...SlamJamz will be working overtime this weekend, with several feature articles focusing on the releases, and what is in store for the future for the WWE Superstars that suddenly

Spike Dudley has released a statement about his WWE release, and boy does he let them have it...First, yes I'm gone from the WWE. Does it sting? Hell, yeah. Especially since I've always been one of their "model" employees. It makes sense that I was released, I don't bitch, moan, groan or suck. I just didn't fit in with what the WWE puts on tv. No, I'm only kidding(but not really). It was my turn

WWE announced a couple weeks back that many cuts among staff would be made as a cost-cutting measure as WWE prepares to jump back to the USA Network this fall from Spike TV; USA is selling the advertising for future shows for WWE, which means WWE loses that revenue.And so...the purge begins....WWE announced this afternoon that it had cut 6 performers from it's roster:Billy KidmanShannon

Perhaps due to the number of articles that have appeared over the past two or three days concerning his future (including my own), Matt Hardy is taking his question to the fans. He posted the following on his message board today:Greetings Amigos!I hope this message finds everyone healthy and happy.

On the left, we have our man Spanky, who we miss seeing on American TV greatly.On the Right, we have Emile Hirsch as Jay Adams in the new movie "Lords Of Dogtown.The resemblence to

Monday night, WWE featured Edge and Lita's "Wedding" on WWE RAW and when they got to the part of "Speak now or forever hold your peace", Matt Hardy's entrance video suddenly graced the Titantron. For about a minute, people waited intently....but Matt Hardy never showed, and Edge took credit for the little joke that he "couldn't resist". A slam on Matt and his fans...or so it seemed.Ever since

TNA held their 3rd anniversary PPV, Slammiversary, last night. Who would have thought with the way they sometimes have behaved in the past that they would have been here three years after launch?One thing that was extremely evident in this most excellent PPV was that the new booking team, consisiting of Scott D'Amore, Jeremy Borash, Mike Tenay, Dutch Mantell, and a couple of others, really hit

Well, we're T minus 6 days and counting....Just about everything that could go wrong with the ECW PPV that WWE is hosting at the Hammersmith Ballroom on 6/12 has....at least as the fans who are the backbone of ECW are concerned...WWE writers have gotten ahold of it, instead of it being solely in the hands of Paul Heyman, which is where it should be...and as such now there are Non-ECW Raw and

I have to admit, I went in expecting the worst from TNA's LOCKDOWN PPV last night, so my expectations were low. And while not "the best TNA PPV ever" as i've seen some on the net saying, it certainly was worth the $30 price.I wasn't suprised to see AJ vs Abyss be the best match on the card; these two have worked it before and did a stellar job once again last night. Abyss taking the Styles Clash

I know what you're saying, but hear me out.Kash has been trying to get out of his deal for over a year. He's an arrogant, self absorbed, but talented guy. He's never liked people who become bigger stars than he has become on what he sees (incorrectly, I might add) as less talent than he or because they suck up to the right people (AJ Styles, The Naturals, America's Most Wanted, et al).I have

I asked some rhetorical questions about this PPV in my weekly PWInsider column, out yesterday. Now it's time to comment on the show itself.In a word....ehhhhh...I was very disappointed that after three stellar events, TNA fell back several notches with this totally lackluster PPV effort.General thoughts on the show:HEY RHODES!! DID YOU SEE THE GIANT "BRING RED BACK" SIGN IN THE FRONT ROW? Get off

Whew! What a show! Last night was one of the most exciting nights I've seen in a long time. I saw great technical work, outstanding high flying, some of the best moves around today. I was on the edge of my seat with every move made, every new person to walk in, wondering if what I was about to see would top what I had just seen. And I wasn't disappointed. Every new person brought with them

PWTorch.Com (yes, there ARE those of us who don’t have a single-minded, blind loyalty—we’re the ones that know ALL sides of the story, heh heh heh) is this week reporting this incredible item: “Amazing Red's TNA contract expired and he's not expected to be brought back as a regular. Dusty Rhodes and Terry Taylor are not high on Red at all, with their thoughts being that he doesn't project a

I'm always seeing about how this columnist or that columnist thinks the brand extension has been a disaster and wants it to end. Now. JIm Forzese's latest column on 1Wrestling.Com was one of those columns. He presented a well thought out arguement in favor of dropping the brand extension. He presented a number of good points, and stated his case well. I don't agree with a word of it, but it

It's been a while since i've been around, but i'm trying to get more regular about my column, and I can't think of a more perfect day to do it. Because yesterday, the wrestling world saw a former WWE Intercontinental champion have a breakdown which was broadcast for all the world to see. Yesterday, Joanie Laurer was on "The Howard Stern Show" to promote her apperance on VH1's has-been reality

...And TNA just saved their proverbial house. TNA's Victory Road PPV, their first Sunday Night three hour PPV, didn't quite hit a grand slam home run. But it was CLOSE. REAL CLOSE. I freely admit going into the PPV this evening wondering if I was going to see TNA self-destruct in the usual senseless angles and incredibly bad booking they're known for, or if they were going to manage to pull it

Welcome to the wonderfully gonzo world of pro wrestling that IS SlamJamz Central. We're going to become a lot more than what we've got now. We'll be posting our weekly column here, 1 day after it appears on PWInsider.Com, and we'll also be doing some different things now and again. I'm also going to have a variety of people come in and drop in a line or two, friends and family who know what
