The Dreaded Nerve Hold Review - Hell in a Cell: The Greatest Hell in a Cell Matches of All time

Okay, so I’ll get this of my chest,as it’s only a minor quibble. But at the risk of sounding pedantic and like, well, a twat, I should point out the rather frivolous title that this WWE release sports.

“The Greatest,” “of all time,” implies that this collection of bouts is the cream of the crop, the best of the best, a selection where only the finest rise.

Throwing in the Towel - Bring Back the real Survivor Series

What’s that PPV coming up? Cyber Sunday? No, not that one - I couldn’t care less. No, I’m worried about the card taking place on November 23: Survivor Series.

Every year I do this. I piss, I moan and when I’m finished, I piss and moan some more. I’m sick of it. I’m sick of grumbling and I’m sure those who read my articles are too. However, I can’t stop!

Until things change, I just cannot stop grumbling about the fact that Survivor Series, to utilise a horrid cliché, is not what it used to be.

At last year’s event, Team HHH beat…

The Dreaded Nerve Hold Review: The Life and Times of Mr Perfect

Curt Hennig, or to those familiar with only his WWE run, Mr Perfect, is my favourite wrestler of all time.

Read on for a full, in-depth review of WWE’s 2-Disc DVD release of ‘The Life and Times of Mr Perfect’…
