My Experience From WWE Ringside Fest 2011


Yesterday, I went into NYC, to attend Ringside Fest 2011! Appearing for the event was CM Punk, Zack Ryder, and Daniel Bryan, signing autographs and taking pictures with the many fans. First, let me start off by saying that it was absolutely freezing yesterday!
It didn't help that we were forced to stand outside as there was "no room" inside. While things weren't set up great, the weather was tough to work off of. After waiting, the first person I met was...Zack Ryder! As I walked up, I told him how big a fan I was, owning a Zack Ryder fansite and all
(http://ryderorriot.wordpress.com/). His responses were, in Ryder fashion, "awesome bro" and "sweet bro". It was pretty awesome in fact.

State of Sin Cara: Taking a Gander at WWE's Young Luchador

Weeks prior to WrestleMania 27, WWE confirmed that they had come to terms of a contractual agreement with Mexican icon, Mistico to perform on the worldwide stage of WWE. Mistico is known for his legendary high flying prowess and his captivating sensational aerial maneuvers all over the world. From Japan to Mexico, worldwide, Mistico has been a staple to modern day Lucha Libre style wrestling. Cara has been a world renowned box office draw and the equivalent of what John Cena is to the American fans. Some believed it was only a matter of time until the masked crusader would be signed by the WWE. Soon enough, it happened and Sin Cara was born at a press conference at WWE’s headquarters in Mexico City. 


The presence of Mistico in the WWE is due to one man, Triple H. Cara is the first talent signed under the heir to Vince McMahon’s sports entertainment throne and Cara has also been deemed, “the next Rey Mysterio.” With his aerial specialty and undeniable athleticism, Cara has undoubtedly shown hints of the early days of Rey Mysterio’s Lucha Libre presence in the United States. Fast forward a few months later and I’ve learned one thing….Not any masked luchador can replace Rey Mysterio. 


Infamous Night: John Cena vs Rob Van Dam at One Night Stand 2006

The "Bingo Hall High Flyer," makes a shocking revelation to, "The Champ"
Summer has never been the time of year that had been kind to WWE icon, John Cena. From feuds with Edge, Nexus, CM Punk and beyond, John Cena has been in the center of some sort of controversy during the summer months for quite some time. 


With the lights shining bright and the fans providing an atmosphere like no other, John Cena would be the most hated man of the evening as he would go one on one with an innovator of extreme, Mr. Rob Van Dam. Today, I am here to relive this infamous night, where the face of the WWE would go head to head in an epic square off with one of the most underrated performers of his time, RVD. It's always fun to take a look back at a time where a hostile crowd and an exciting match up personified a match up and I am here to take you on a journey back in 2006, where John Cena would go into enemy territory to represent the only organization he ever knew.....

When one thinks of a true big man athlete and a tag team specialist with a passion for the business, one can only think of former WWE and TNA Superstar, Lance Hoyt. Working as Vance Archer in WWE for a short stint as well as a long run as Lance Hoyt/Rock in TNA Wrestling, Hoyt has finally found his true home overseas in Japan.

Following his last run in WWE, Hoyt moved on to New Japan Pro Wrestling, finding a new passion for the business, like never before. The former TNA Tag Team Champion now brings his sheer athleticism, ability, and passion for Professional Wrestling.  Luckily, I was able to catch up with Mr. Hoyt and discuss his career in the United States as well as his new found career in Japan.

WWE PPV Preview: Vengeance

Another PPV is on the way and I can honestly say once again, I don't care. Hell in a Cell, Bound for Glory, and Night of Champions have all been underwhelming pay per views and that is no ones fault but WWE's and TNA's. WWE especially has been awful as of late, with a lack of producing stars and a lack for clustering so many shows together. It's hard to believe WWE didn't learn how to book a PPV after Money in the Bank's phenomenal increase in buys this past year.

Anyways, Vengeance is being revived in WWE for no reason whatsoever....Oh well, it's better than Bragging Rights. Anyways, we are given another John Cena title match and a Big Show match in the main events. That alone makes me not care for this PPV event. Nonetheless, I will preview it and try my best to provide some insight into such a lacking and uninteresting pay per view.
