By @Phranchize19 Mick Foley has long been a fixture in WWE, but I feel that the most underrated aspect of his career was the ability to put guys over. Foley was gracious enough to put over many young guys such as The Rock, Triple H and Edge, but this time we are gonna talk about how he put over Randy Orton. Background: Randy Orton was riding high as the Legend Killer. Randy was essentially putting every legend on their knees and establishing himself as the future of the WWE. Randy Orton was the Intercontinental...

Retrospective: Matches That Define WrestleMania
By @Phranchize19 Every year we as wrestling fans come together to witness the biggest event in the sport, WrestleMania. Vince McMahon’s vision for a supercard has gone from closed circuit and being watched in movie theaters to people traveling all over the globe to witness this spectacle. WrestleMania has produced some of the greatest moments in wrestling history. I am here to give you the matches that DEFINE the legacy of WrestleMania. Keep in mind, this list isn't a best match or greatest match list, therefore some of the best in ring matches will...
EOTR Tag Team Tuesdays: CM Punk and Kofi Kingston
By @TrueGodImmortal I wanted to do an article on Cryme Tyme or maybe Doom, a tag team that could represent Black History Month well. However, after seeing the reaction to The Rock calling CM Punk after RAW went off the air, and the New Day hosting WrestleMania 33, I thought to continue Ameen's process of talking makeshift or temporary tag teams and today, I'm looking back at the short run of CM Punk and Kofi Kingston. Team Formation So, this team came about in the usual way that makeshift tag teams usually do: common...

EOTR Match Of The Week: Ultimate Warrior vs Rick Rude- Summerslam 1990
By @Phranchize19 Summerslam usually offers a great match in its main event and the 1990 version of the show was no exception. We have the classic babyface champion Warrior against a formidable contender in Rick Rude. Background: WWE was riding a huge wave of momentum with the guy they figured was going to replace the aging Hulk Hogan. That man was the Ultimate Warrior. Warrior had won the WWE title from Hogan at that year’s WrestleMania and with Summerslam on the horizon, WWE needed a credible opponent for their champion. Enter Ravishing Rick Rude....

EOTR Tag Team Tuesdays: The World's Greatest Tag Team
By @OmegaShammgod One of the most popular teams among fans during the Ruthless Aggression Era was none other than Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin. A duo who let their athleticism and technical abilities bring the Smackdown Tag Team Division to new heights. Originally starting out as Kurt Angle's (in my own words) bodyguards, WGTT quickly shot to the top of Smackdown's Tag Team Kingdom. A month after making their debut, WGTT beat Edge and Chris Benoit in a number one contenders match. A week later, they defeated Los Guerreros to win the WWE Tag...
The Overrated: Jeff Jarrett
By @IOnlySayFacts 10 million broken guitars and he never drew a dime. Famous words about one Jeffrey Jarrett. Jeff, who is the son of one Jerry Jarrett, a respected booker in the wrestling community and owner of the USWA, had talent for the business. For some reason, he ended up always above where he was supposed to be. Jarrett at his peak was a mid-card wrestler who could at most have been a transitional champ. The WWE booked him perfectly in the role, as he was perfect as a fixture in the IC championship...
