Because the present is starting to feel like ancient history, we're giving you a sneak peek into the future. Let's find out what the wrestling world will look like 10 years from now in March of 2021...
March 2: Eric Bischoff introduces his 23rd new wrestling promotion. The Three Ring Circus, or 3RC, is the first promotion to feature 3 full-size wrestling rings in every match. The squared circles are suspended thirty feet in the air and connected by tightropes... [CONTINUE READING]
Welcome everybody to PWPotato's third installment of the Top Ten Spuds of the Week. I will list ten things from the world of pro wrestling that stood out as bad, ugly, or just plain stupid from the previous week. Last week was a Raw heavy list and this week is filled with TNA idiocracy. I will be looking at it from a kayfabe and reality sense so keep that in mind while reading. Feel free to comment in the section below if you disagree with my choices or you feel I left one out.
10. Dolph Ziggler
Poor Dolph... Four losses to Edge in four weeks, he loses the World Title minutes after being handed it, he gets "fired," and presumably loses his spot in the chamber Sunday. Hey, it beats having to dress up as a male cheerleader and being jobbed to DX every week despite a 5-2 advantage right?...[CONTINUE READING]
In a Potato exclusive, we're able to give you a peek into the future of the wrestling world. Let's take a look at what will happen in February 2026:
-The first inductee in the 2026 class of the WWE Hall Of Fame is revealed to be The Undertaker who, although retired since 2017, has still extended his legendary WrestleMania streak to 33-0. At WrestleMania 42, however, the Deadman has agreed to face his toughest test yet from... [CONTINUE READING]
Welcome to the first installment of PWPotato's Top Ten Spuds of the week. This feature is inspired by ESPN's always popular Not Top Ten Plays of the week. Think of it as a reverse power rankings. Every week, I will list ten wrestling personalities who had a bad night or embarassing moment that stood out above the rest. I will look at it from a kayfabe and reality sense so keep that in mind while reading. If you feel I left someone out or disagree with one of my choices, feel free to comment below.
10. Jerry "The King" Lawler)
Monday was not Lawler's best night of the mic. He told The Miz that he had "poop, excriment, or whatever you want to call it coming out of your mouth." When John Cena says stuff like that, fans often and rightfully bash him. Being a Hall of Famer doesn't excuse Lawler of this, especially when we all know he can cut a great promo. Lawler then followed up that gem by chanting awful at The Miz like a 4th grader...[CONTINUE READING]
This column isn't another review of Raw, it's a not-so-serious look at what WWE have to offer us on Mondays. I try to submit it as early as possible, but given I'm in the UK, sometimes sleep is needed between viewing and writing.
So, the night after a cracking Rumble match, and Alberto Del Rio announces he's going for the World's belt (sorry Vince, "title") at Mania. I loved the mariachi band playing his song, but did they really have to have them standing all through the promo with Miz and Edge? The guy in the middle was really distracting; he looked like a Mexican Mario!
Raw Rumble is announced. No, we aren't sick of Rumbles at all. Not[CONTINUE READING]
Right, it’s been how long now? Feels like forever. Every week, enjoying Raw. Every week, almost on the verge of excitement for the first time in years, because it looks like they are about to do something different. Then that sound plays. You know the one: it signals the end of pretty much anything interesting. The GM’s email noise.
I wasn’t going to say anything until last night’s Raw. Going into it, both Friday Night Nexus and the Straight Edge Nexus Society were in the Rumble. Then the GM announces the loser of a match between Wade and Punk would be out of the Rumble. After the match, both teams were still in the Rumble! NOTHING CHANGED. It was an absolute waste of twenty minutes, and it threw away Wade vs. Punk to an extent... [CONTINUE READING]
