That’s right–TNAWrestling.com has pulled Christian Cage off their roster page. He’s got to be officially gone from the company.
For more on Christian’s future, please read on.

Damn, that was good.
Even though it was scripted, Heyman ment it.

Rep. Henry Waxman is the man behind the report on steroids in pro-wrestling that Lex posted earlier this week. He has spent the better part of the last four years investigating steroids in professional sports and was the one who called those now infamous baseball hearings. As you can see, he is well informed on the issue of performance enhancing drugs:
That clip was from the documentary “Bigger, Stronger, Faster,” which was directed by Christopher Bell, the brother of Mike “Mad Dog” Bel. He’s the most recent wrestler to pass away, most likely due to his abuse of performance enhancing drugs. I post this to say if whoever takes over for Henry Waxman (who is moving on to another government job) is anywhere near as uninformed as he was I don’t think anything will come of these government probes into WWE and TNA.
By the way, I really recomend “Bigger, Stronger, Faster.” It will change your entire outlook on performance enhancing drugs. It is avaiable on Netflix watch instantly if any of you have that service.

Throughout the years theat I have been on the PWB blog, I have read a variety of opinions from many smart wrestling fans. Whether its Mollie, SideShow, DK, Jeyrod, Arron, Kanadian, Da Tru, or even Kitty Limits, they have been a lot of insightful looks into the wrestling business. What I dont know about you (except for Lex and Kanadian) is who are your favorite wrestlers of all-time. This positive post will make up for yesterday’s negative VOTD post.
My FAV 5:
1) Shawn Michaels
Ever since I was a 4 year old watching WWF in St Martin, Shawn Michaels has been one of my favorites. As a young lad my favorites included Bob Holly, the Smoking Gunns, Takanka, British Bulldog, Warrior, and Steamboat. I see why kids like Cena. They will grow out of it, trust me. HBK’s matches with Razor, Diesel, Undertaker, Bret, Mankind, and Vader (along with his”Heart-break Hotel” segment) made me a lifetime fan.
2) Christian (his TNA heel run was very good)
Christian and Edge are complete equals in my opinion. As heels they are both top notch and there in work wrestling is very good. Edge may be better than Christian in the ring, but not by much. Christian’s TNA run, right from his shocking PPV debut was good. It wasn’t until Kurt Angle came in that it went sour. The “Angle’s Alliance” ruined Christian because it turned him face. Christian was undefeated for 2 years in TNA.
3) Santino
What can you say about this guy? Matt has Jeff, JR has Austin, and Santino has Microphones. Santino is gold on the mic, comic gold. At first I wasn’t against him because as a face all he would do is win by flukes. He consistantly won via roll up. When they turnd him heel when facing Umaga, little did I know that Santino would become a star. He doesnt need to have wrestling skills to be a star. I predict that Santino will be in the Hall of Fame some day, right next to Heenan. Noone has been this good on the mic since The Rock.
4) Scott Hall/ Razor Ramon
5) Ricky Steamboat and Rob Van Damn (a tie)

Tonight’s Raw looks to be interesting, especially if some of the rumors floating around on the web right now turn out to be true (highly unlikely). I won’t get into details since it might constitute spoilers, but feel free to do some reasearch for yourself.
As for tonight’s confirmed card, here’s what we’ve got:
I think we’re all assuming that the IC Title match will be stellar–let’s just hope they give it the right amount of time.
Even with that match, I’ll be flipping back and forth between this and the Texas/OSU game. For once, I actually hope that Texas wins (I gotta support the Big 12).

“This is your brain on Drugs”
Written by Lex on Sunday, January 4th, 2009 in ECW, Opinion, PWB, Raw, Smackdown, Sunday Debate, WWE, Wrestlemania, Wrestling Industry.
Last year, C.M. Punk was booked to capture one of the “big two” world titles in the WWE (sorry Matt Hardy). I wonder…will we see another young WWE superstar put in a situation like that this year?
There’s no sure answer, but I think there is one question we can debate: which young WWE star will have the best 2009?
Here are the candidates:
What do these guys have in common? They are all under the age of 30. While we might consider guys like Shelton Benjamin, MVP and Mr. Kennedy young superstars, they are actually in their 30s.
The way I see it, the guys on the list above are the most likely candidates to have an outstanding 2009. But which one will get pushed the most?
If I had to guess, I’d say John Morrison, although Evan Bourne is a close second when he comes back from his injury–I could easily see either of them main-eventing a PPV in the later stages of 2009.
I wish WWE would pull the trigger on some of these guys like they did a few years ago with the New Year’s Revolution Elimination Chamber match; rememember when the match came down to Cena, Carlito and Chris Masters? That was a cool finish to the match, and I’d love to see a champion put in the position defending against one of these guys in 2009.
So let’s debate: which one of these guys will it be? Is there anyone under 30 I left off the list? You be the judge.
