No matter what room he’s in.

And it’s not his fault, as a person. It’s the writers at WWE. And it’s not just them, either – it’s the guys running the company who are too afraid to try anything new that doesn’t involve John Cena on top of the company. These two factors combined, though, create some of the laziest and most awful writing in professional wrestling.

Tonight, John Cena saved Rey Mysterio from a post-match beating from Alberto Del Rio. This, after Del Rio had successfully defended his title against Rey and won WITHOUT any shenanigans. John Cena makes…

Last summer, Bruce Trombley interviewed best-selling author Rik Skarlett about his new three-part series of books set to hit shelves that August.

Recently, for WBFF “The Beef” in Cincinnati, Bruce Trombley sat down once again with Rik Skarlett to discuss a new three-part series ready to explode everywhere except Barnes & Noble this summer.

Incredible. CM Punk has been 100% incredible for the past few weeks, even moreso after announcing that he would be gone from WWE on July 17th, immediately following the Money In The Bank pay-per-view. His promos have been solid gold bordering on worked-shoots while taking jabs at those within the company.

But tonight, he hit on some cylinders that most viewers wouldn’t have expected him to. He talked about John Cena being overrated as the “best wrestler in WWE”, how Vince McMahon is destroying his own company due to surrounding himself with yes-men and ass-kissers and that…

I don’t get excited about much these days. Oreo Cookies, Bulldog puppies, the way I can do like, 20 pushups without getting tired… those are just about at the top of the list.

But eeking them out is the newest effort from Junior Battles, “Idle Ages”. The full-length is set to release tomorrow on Paper + Plastick, but the entire album is up for a free stream at AOL Music right now. I’d recommend you check it out immediately, then buy it from the P+P website in some format. I’m about halfway through listening to it right…

The word of the week for this edition is “Wrestling”. Or, more specifically, “Impact Wrestling”. Impact Wrestling is the name change enacted by TNA Wrestling lately, though it’s hard to tell if it’s a company-wide name change or if it’s limited to the weekly television show on SpikeTV. Either way, it comes with a brand new slogan as well. In Impact Wrestling, “Wrestling Matters”. Slowly but surely, that’s becoming much more evident.

Sure, there are a lot of things that somebody can rant on Impact Wrestling about: the (generally) terrible storylines; the overpopulation of legends/guys past their prime;…

I’m gonna try something new here. I couldn’t really get behind vlogging about wrestling, because it’s hard to dish opinions on something by yourself without any input from anyone else. Similarly, I couldn’t really do a wrestling podcast with a friend because… well… I have no friends here who watch wrestling. So, I’ll take to the keyboard and tip-tap away at the keys. I’ll probably do it weekly so it has some regularity and base it off of something that irked me while watching the televised grapples during the week.

Welcome to Wrestlelogue! This week’s topic is “Credibility”. It’s something…

Life isn’t always what you want it to be, but there are tons of ways that we can change that. Change jobs, change locations, change friends, get a puppy… whatever. But if you don’t have the means to make those things happen, you can just Photoshop yourself into a better or more exciting life.

So that’s what I’m going to do. I’ll Photoshop my daily activities into something much more exciting to make my life seem that much more fun. Here’s the first one. Am I standing around at work in my preppiest and summeriest clothes, or am I skateboarding…

When Algernon Cadwallader decided to suddenly leak their own album to the internet a few weeks ago, fans rejoiced. It’s been 3 years since Algernon’s first full-length was released and won over a generation already in love with the indie/emo scene of the mid-late 90′s.

Since then, the band has drawn in thousands of fans as well as comparisons to legendary bands like Cap n’ Jazz and American Football. Algernon became one of the fore-runners in what many call the “emo-revival” scene. A ridiculous amount of hype began to surround the band, but all of it was true. Not only…

In late 2009, Small Brown Bike decided to get the original lineup back together to write new music, play sweet shows and have a blast. It had been about 6 years since their last release, so this news was like finding the Holy Grail (and not being one of the guys whose faces melted).

Some friends and I decided to make the 6 hour trek to see them play with Bridge & Tunnel at The Cake Shop in Brooklyn, NY on May 14, 2010. A few of the other jerks who were going with me had already seen them play…

A little bit of news! As you can see, the “Events” listings have fallen to the wayside a bit. This is because I’ve been trying to find another plugin that will handle the events the way I’d like them to be handled. Currently, the events aren’t displayed anymore after their end date is passed, which is nice – but the actual event posts aren’t deleted from the site, meaning they’ll still show up in searches through Google/other search engines (but who really uses Bing! anyway?) and on the site itself. That’s kind of annoying. I haven’t found one that does…
