The Undertaker Returns

2012-01-31T00:34:00.000-08:00

After a long wait that even prompted speculations of the him having retired from the WWE, the Undertaker returned on WWE Raw - just in time to save John Laurinaitis his job. Undertaker's infamous gong sounded when Triple H was seconds away from firing John Laurinaitis. The Deadman walked into the ring and the two fighters locked eyes before gesturing to fight at Wrestlemania.

Chris Jericho is main eventing Wrestlemania despite losing the Royal Rumble. During the match between Daniel Bryan and CM Punk, who the WWE is now promoting as long-time friends, Chris Jericho ran into the ring, threw Daniel Bryan out of the ring and then attacked CM Punk. Daniel Bryan was declared the winner probably because Chris Jericho laid hands on Bryan first.

Bryan Wins;Cena, Kane Get Counted Out

2012-01-29T20:58:00.000-08:00

Kane and John Cena gave the WWE Universe the match of their lives as the two destroyed each other inside and outside the ring. They reached a time when neither of them bothered about a win - it was fighting for the sake of fighting. The match ended in a double count-out as John Cena and Kane ignored the referee and took their brawl out of the ring. Considering how predictable things are now, the two will soon fight in a Street fight or Falls-count-anywhere match.

Mark Henry, The Big Show, and Daniel Bryan put up a good show. Daniel Bryan won the Steel Cage match to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. Bryan did so by escaping the steel cage - escaping as in a free fall from the top of the ring. Detractors are likely to say that it was another stroke of luck for Daniel Bryan. The WWE is keen on having two of WWE's biggest men lose to one of WWE's smallest competitor.

Sheamus Wins WWE Royal Rumble Match 2012

2012-01-29T20:41:00.000-08:00

The Great White Sheamus won the Royal Rumble Match 2012. He did so by sending Chris Jericho out of the ring with a Brogue Kick. Earlier, there were reports that said that the WWE has decided to have Chris Jericho win the Royal Rumble. Before Chris Jericho made his return to the WWE, it was said that Randy Orton will win the Royal Rumble.

Nobody expected Sheamus to win the Royal Rumble match. Making Sheamus winner certainly isn't a popular decision. Randy Orton certainly is more popular than Sheamus. Chris Jericho winning the Royal Rumble match would have made things more interesting as the fans are yet to know if Chris Jericho is a heel or a face.

The WWE decided to go against making things interesting and predictable; they made it surprising. The decision to make Sheamus win the Royal Rumble was most probably a last-minute call.

Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Road Warrior Animal To Rumble

2012-01-27T19:39:00.000-08:00

A RingSideReport update has said that Hacksaw Jim Duggan and the Road Warrior Animal would be part of the 30-man Royal Rumble match. Surprise entries like these are only meant to add variety to the match as the audience know neither of the two superstars would win the Royal Rumble Match.

There is also speculation that RVD would make a surprise entry at the Royal Rumble. Sources are almost certain that the Undertaker will be at the Royal Rumble.

Hulk Hogan Comments On Ric Flair's Hall of Fame Induction

Here is what Hulk hogan said in an interview to Sportsvibe:"I think it’s great, everybody is being very open and Dixie Carter is open and the lines of communication are open. It’s great that the two companies can agree on this and have a common bond because Ric Flair has been a staple in this industry, and as they are going to induct the Four Horsemen in the Hall of Fame it’s only right Ric Flair is there. It’s like the WWE saying Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair were never here just because we’re now with TNA. It doesn’t make sense because people know we were there and helped build that company. I think with the lines of communication opening it’s good business for everybody."

On The Rock Vs Cena: "Cena is like our franchise guy. He carries the company on his back and he's out there every single night doing everything he can to give back to the fans. The Rock, he's awesome at what he does, but he's kind of moved on and he's a movie star now.."

Big Show Injured

2012-01-19T05:07:00.000-08:00

WWE Smackdown's biggest face at this time The Big Show is injured. The world's largest athlete was injured during Tuesday night's WWE Smackdown tapings. Big Show hurt his back while wrestling Daniel Bryan in a dark match.

Mark Henry, with an injured groin, cannot do much wrestling. It was because of his injured groin that Mark was abruptly demoted from the post of Smackdown's top heel. Randy Orton and Christain are expected to return in a couple of weeks.

TNA Knockouts Steel Cage Match - A Lesson For The WWE

2012-01-18T02:21:00.000-08:00

The WWE has its Divas faction purely because of tradition. The WWE is not at all interested in pushing the WWE Divas. The reason? The WWE believes that regardless of what they do with the divas, people are not watching. It puts the WWE's divas in a vicious circle of the effect becoming the cause.

The TNA on other other hand is experimenting with its divas (they call the divas TNA Knockouts). On tomorrow night's TNA Impact Wrestling will be a TNA Knockouts Steel Cage Match. The match will feature Madison Rayne and former WWE Diva Mickie James. The steel cage match will hopefully give the WWE Creative a few ideas on how to make the divas section more interesting.

Ric Flair Says He'll Attend WWE Hall Of Fame Ceremony

2012-01-18T01:24:00.000-08:00

TNA Superstar Ric Flair has confirmed his attendance for the WWE Hall of Fame. This is the second time Ric Flair is getting inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Ric Flair is part of The Four Horsemen the WWE is inducting into their Hall of Fame this year.

Ric Flair attending the Hall of Fame ceremony has huge implications. Firstly, the WWE is getting better ratings and viwership for the Hall of Fame event as a result of a rival company talent attending the ceremony. A percentage of the Ric Flair fans from the TNA audience will watch the Hall of Fame ceremony.

Ric Flair attending the event is also good for TNA as Ric will take a few WWE fans with him to TNA. TNA has been always open to talking about the WWE. The Hall of Fame will certainly get a mention in one of TNA's TV shows.

Experts say that inducting Ric Flair into the Hall of Fame is a marketing tactic by the WWE to bring back the Nature Boy. The WWE needs Ric especially after the WWE Network is launched. Several of the videos in WWE's archives have legends like Ric Flair and the WWE wouldn't want to promote a performer in a rival company by airing his videos all day.
