HammerFall Swing For The Fences With New Album

HammerFall Swing For The Fences With New Album

    A month or so ago the Red Hive interviewed me as a musician and asked me what some of my likes, dislikes, influences, etc, were. They were both happy and a bit shocked at the detail I provided in the interview, as most people just give quick short answers. One of the questions I was asked was who were instrumental in my musical career, my likes,…

Tanner’s Take on WWE: Money in the Bank

WWE Money in the Bank

PRE SHOW

Daniel Bryan comes out to big “YES” chants. The crowd does not stop chanting YES. He announces that he doesn’t know when he will be back and there are talks of another surgery. He mentions John Cena and Randy Orton which got big boos from the crowd but when he mentioned Roman Reigns, they gave him a massive pop. He said he did not like how smug Stephanie McMahon was…

On The Bubble: Is Dolph Coming In or Going Out?

On The Bubble: Is Dolph Coming In or Going Out?

I can’t speak for my counterparts on the Wrestling Corner website, but I myself have been a supporter of Dolph Ziggler since day one. When other guys were looking at Daniel Bryan I was looking at Dolph. Sure, when it comes to pure wrestling ability, my best friend Michael (One of the admins on our site) would be quick to point out that in a pure…

What Happened to Mexico’s Greatest Export?

I’ve always been a Del Rio fan, and people have always wondered why. When he was feuding with Punk and Cen in late 2011 he was playing a great heel role and was hated. He hasn’t garnered the same crowd reaction since Ricardo Rodriguez and him have parted ways.

At one time he was at the top of WWE, winning the Royal Rumble and going on to Wrestlemania to take on World Champion Edge. Although, it…

Is WWE Setting Up Mojo to Fail?

Every promising blue-chip athlete kind of has the same criteria, from the Rock to Cena to Bo Dallas. Crowd interactions, positivity and always smiling even when they lose. A little catch phrase for the kids to help them get the crowd behind them and highly protected booking wise.. Eventually, the momentum slows as evident with chants like “die Rocky die”, We’ve “Cenanough”, and “No more Bo”.

I…

Will Daniel Bryan Give Up the Title to Save His Wives Job? Daniel Bryan said no to surrendering his WWE World Heavyweight Championship on Raw last week. Stephanie then threatened Brie Bella’s job. Daniel Bryan needs to make a choice: surrender it or have Brie fired. The Daniel Bryan saga is ongoing, so we wil have to see where this goes. I understand giving this decision a bigger spotlight. Do I…

Daniel Bryan Is WWE Champion…For Now

WWE has yet to figure out what to do with their champion. 3 weeks this has been going on. 1 week to hype up what they will do with the title for  England crowd, then Tennessee. Now, we have to wait for Payback.

The WWE HAS to strip him of the title to move on and plan forward. At the earliest, he is expected to be back from neck surgery in August so they can possibly build something for…

After their first highly successful and critically acclaimed WWE Network special, ArRival, NXT is set for their second live two hour special, NXT Takeover, which will air this Thursday on the WWE Network. The show is scheduled to feature three championship matches, and in this week’s edition of Frank’s Future Shock, we’ll take in depth look at what could be in store at the big show, which is sure…

The Wraparound — Been Around The World and Aye Yai Yai

It’s been a long week.  I missed the England show, at least the coverage.  I saw it, don’t get me wrong, but really, it was one of those great crowds with a mediocre showing.  But it’s been the same ol’ same ol’ when it comes to the WWE lately, and in that regard, let’s get to work with what the deal has been.

The Good: Ruthless Aggression

I have been a sports fan longer than I’ve…

The Innovation of Khaos — Remember When I Said That Thing? [Back To The Future, Part II]

Minions… it dawned on me awhile back… while I’m sitting here, patiently waiting for Payback so that I can see the few levels of intrigue play themselves out, that I’ve said a lot of things in regards to the world of Professional Wrestling, and as I’ve struggled mightily I’ll admit, at trying to find a foothold in everything going on between TNA, WWE, and even ROH, I started to look back, just…

Nightmare Pro: Methods of Malice 05/24/14

The show had a time change and I guess a lot of people missed the memo. The show started at it’s normal time. It was a great atmosphere as always. Everyone was excited for the show to start. I felt like this was an important show for them leading into the next few months because a lot of exciting things are happening with this promotion.

Show started with Caligula Jones welcoming Lillith blood to…

In Memory of Owen Hart, Fifteen Years Later

Those of us wrestling fans who survived the rigors that often take us away from the genre sometime between childhood and adulthood all have those seminal moments that remember clearly, the ones that cement us as wrestling fans for life, even when we don’t know it. One of mine occurred on a Saturday night in January of 1994, watching the Royal Rumble pay-per-view with my dad in Hinesville,…

The “Anti-Diva” Has Arrived

Is the “Anti Diva” exactly what the Divas Division needs? Who knows? Maybe the division is beyond saving. Whatever the case, WWE has given what NXT fans have wanted for the longest time. Paige debuted the night after WrestleMania to defeat Divas Champion AJ Lee ending her 295 day championship reign.

Her debut was a shock for many, but fans don’t know how to take the 21 year old from Norwich,…

CM Punk Reemerges At Cub’s Game

Wait, isn’t this the “private” guy who hates the fact that he can’t leave his house without people noticing him? Now he’s at a Cubs game to announce to the world that he’s getting married? I really hope he’s able to leave his house soon and get that privacy he so desires.

I don’t see AJ and Punk sitting at home on their couch living a family life, I can’t see it happening. Punk is past his prime…

Vince McMahon No Longer A Billionaire

“Vince McMahon is a millionaire who should be a billionaire…” – CM Punk ‘Pipebomb Promo’ 2011

Forbes reports that the World Wrestling Entertainment chairman and CEO lost a $350 million+ when the company’s stock crashed on 5/16. McMahon’s wealth was previously estimated at around $1.1 billion, meaning he lost more than 30% of his fortune in today’s crash, which is about one-third of his fortune.
