Daniel Bryan Raps on the JBL & Cole Show


B. Dazzle and Kurly Kane.  That's the whole purpose for this.  And Hornswoggle.

Paul Heyman Wants to Fire the McMahons


Yes, he's speaking partially within kayfabe but you can tell from how quick he shoots off this answer that it comes from the heart.  Greatest mind in professional wrestling period.  This interview was conducted in the buildup to Wrestlemania 29 where Paul E. Dangerously speaks on the shoot star power of CM Punk, the greatest element of ECW, and how to end the nuclear standoff with North Korea (*spoiler alert* - it involves Bork Laser).

Additional interview with Peter Rosenberg after the jump because these two guys have the best jobs in the world and to listen to a conversation between them is golden.

Because woooooooooooooo!

Part 2 after the jump.

Barbed Wire City Documentary to Air on iPPV Via HighSpots.com





Great news for the ECDub faithful who can't make it out to Philly on April 20th as HighSpots.com will be airing the event on iPPV including a pre-show and live Q&A afterwards from the former ECW arena. Tickets to the premier are still available and that blows my mind.  

HighSpots is also sponsoring a kickstarter funded Jim Crocket Promotions documentary to hopefully be released this July.  Trailers for that and Barbed Wire City after the jump.

We Are Awesome



If we ever had a reason to say it loud and to say it proud the moment is now.  Fellow wrestling fans, we are awesome.  Much has already been written about the crowd at this past Monday night's Raw and for good reason.  We haven't witnessed anything like that since the post-Mania Raw in Miami last year that solidified the Yes chant.  Of the 80k+ that filled MetLife stadium on Sunday the hardcore amongst them stuck around the next night primarily because they had something to say.  And speak freely and loudly they did.

Let's face facts.  The road to Wrestlemania and the show itself was mostly ass.  The hardcore fans amongst the pro wrestling community were almost wholly neglected from the Rumble to Mania while WM29 was lazily booked and featured an unexciting card with more to dread than look forward to.  I concluded in my "Mailing In Wrestlemania" opinion piece that we have to accept that the grandest stage of them all is simply not for us.  While we shouldn't be shocked at this betrayal we do still have every right to voice our displeasure.  And that's exactly what Jersey did on this unforgettable night.
