Zack Ryder: Should He End Z! True Long Island Story?




After observing the twitter conversation between fellow Enigmas Rize and Sid, it got me intrigued on a potential debate surrounding one of the most popular superstars in the WWE today: Zack Ryder!


Gone are the days where Z! TLIS was a show that was a desperate attempt for Zack Ryder to get noticed. It was comical, and had new people and material every week. Now, I sit here wondering if Ryder should end the ever popular webshow, Z! TLIS. What the show is mainly used for today, is to continue the storyline that Ryder is using on WWE TV.

Concrete Jungle Mastodon: Brodus Clay is the Next Big Thing

Unstoppable. Behemoth. Mastodon of Mayhem. Monster. The Fall of Humanity...

All of these phrases and choice words can all be used to properly summarize who Brodus Clay is and what he represents. At almost seven feet tall and weighing in at approximately four hundred pounds, Clay is a dominant force that will look to reignite his path of destruction on the WWE Universe, starting on November 7th, 2011.

Initially debuting in WWE on NXT: Season 4, Brodus Clay was a standout performer amongst the cast of "Rookies" that also partook in the competition. Although falling short of victory in the season to New England native, Johnny Curtis, Clay vowed his vengeance on all the fans that shattered his dreams of being the next breakout star. As for Johnny Curtis, he fell into the dark, melancholy, shadows of obscurity. Clay, on the other hand, accompanied star on the rise, Alberto Del Rio not too far after the climax of the fourth season of NXT. Clay's massive and intimidating presence aided Alberto Del Rio, who was on his path to WrestleMania 27 in pursuit of the World Heavyweight Championship.

WWE Predictability: Why I Am Bored After Every Show!











The WWE has been a roller coaster of a ride lately, from good shows, to bad shows. Great feuds were showcased, then all feuds turned bland.
This describes the WWE, after having a brilliant summer, to now a disappointment week after week. Now, I am beginning to grow bored with the current product, and for may reasons. If the WWE keeps it up, I will begin to question my devotion to something I've loved to watch for the last four years.

Here Comes the Pain: Brock Lesnar in WWE '12 Opens Door to Many Possibilities

Arguably the greatest pure athlete to ever grace the squared circle AND the octagon, Brock Lesnar has seemingly broken down any barriers between himself and his original stomping grounds, WWE. Recently confirmed by every major "newz" media writer and their mother, "The Pain" has agreed to a contract to WWE that will allow him to be in video games, have more merchandise, etc in a contract similar to a Legends contract. Either way, the most athletic big man in history is back in WWE after seven years away from Pro Wrestling action.

To the disappointment of many fans across the WWE Universe, Brock attempted to pursue a career in the National Football League, and later, the UFC. Lesnar had become far more successful in his latter effort and became the highest paid MMA athlete as well as one of the most popular UFC fighters of all time. Known for his cocky attitude and renowned to many as the, "Baddest Man on the Planet," the former UFC Heavyweight and WWE Champion will be crossing over once more to be featured as a Legend, in WWE's most exciting video game, since ironically, Brock Lesnar's, "Here Comes the Pain," years back.

Rebuilding the Frontier: How to Make Impact Wrestling a Competitive Promotion

In the words of the legendary, Vladimir Kozlov, "I want competition," (Imagine it in a Russian tone where your not 100% what the last word was). Following this week's edition of, Raw, I have learned that the WWE product is not, "cool again," but at its stalest in months. What's worse? They gave us no reason to watch the WWE, with the ratings juggernaut, Monday Night Football, coming back next week. Essentially, unless WWE makes the next few weeks their most captivating in over a decade, they will be crushed in the ratings.

Why should we care about WWE? There is no good way to go about the CM Punk/Nash/Triple H saga, because there is no surprising outcome that could possibly happen. We've gone down every single possibility, and all are predictable and stale. The NWO reunion idea, especially makes me cringe. Honestly, if anyone wants to see the NWO in WWE or another power struggle angle, you are a hypocrite. If you complain about it in, TNA, but not, WWE, you are a hypocrite. Sorry to break it to anyone. Continuing on....

Unity: The Necessities of Building Success in Tag Teams

Welcome to the first true, analysis piece for, The Sharp Shooter Press. Something I've always felt was very imperative to the wile world of , Pro Wrestling, is a simple tactic known as, variety. Wrestling fans can not be exposed to the same thing continuously over and over, otherwise, the product becomes stale. In, 2011, wrestling fans all over the world, who tune into the mainstream product, seem to lack variety in regards to the, in ring product.

Over the years, WWE has provided so many types of matches that offer individualism, different ways to progress storylines, and to entertain the fans in more ways than the basic one on one match.  All over the world, different gimmick matches do help develop different companies. For example, CHIKARA presents the King of Trios, a tournament for all six man tag team matches; something we do not see in WWE as prominently. Other companies pride themselves on all different kinds of matches, but one of the core match types that has really seemed forgotten in, WWE, is the tag team division.
