A new year of Pay-Per-View means a new year of Pay-Per-View recaps. The positive is we’re starting off with a big one as it’s time for the second biggest show of the year, the Royal Rumble. Without jacking up the word count any more, let’s go to the show. Read the rest of this entry

Welcome to my newest contribution to Pro Wrestling Ponderings, “Wrestling Through the Ages.”  As a part of my love for wrestling, I subscribe to WWE’s Classics on Demand service.  For the most part, this column will review some of the things they present to us On Demand.  While the WWE’s current programming is not as great as it used to be, the greatest thing about Classics on Demand is their vast library of vintage (thank you Michael Cole) wrestling footage.  Their library includes the WWE’s past (obviously), WCW, ECW, AWA (American Wrestling Association), Jim Crocket Promotions, Smokey Mountain Wrestling, Championship Wrestling from Florida (CWF), Stampede Wrestling (CSW) based out of Calgary, and World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW).  Each Wednesday they present new programming for the enjoyment of those of us who love professional wrestling.  There is always a wide variety of shows to choose from each month, ranging from classic and current (usually about 4 months beyond) PPVs, Raw’s and Nitro’s from the beginning and the heart of the Monday Night War, a spotlight on the career of a different Hall of Famer each month, and many original programming exclusive to the On Demand service.  I am planning on reviewing some of the programming (be it original or classic) once or twice a month.  Here is the first of these reviews; I hope you enjoy it, as I think it’s an excellent place to start.

This week’s ECW was barely better than last week’s, and that’s just because there wasn’t an Abraham Washington Show. The show opened with a video package hyping the Christian and Kane tag match against William Regal and Ezekiel Jackson. Going into this week’s show I thought it would center almost entirely on Christian and Jackson, considering the Royal Rumble is this weekend and they have the only ECW match at the pay-per-view event. I saw a sign that says, “Only JESUS Saves.” Thanks for that. Read the rest of this entry

Last week on ECW was the ECW Homecoming Finale that saw 8 men enter the ring and one immerge as the new No. 1 Contender to the ECW Championship. That man was Ezekiel Jackson. The behemoth now gets ready for the Royal Rumble in just under two weeks where he’ll take on ECW Champion Christian. In the Homecoming Finale, Big Zeke took out 3 former ECW Champions; will that soon be how Christian is referred to? Can he hope to stop the monster that is Ezekiel Jackson? Tonight we get one step closer to finding out. Read the rest of this entry
