When you think of wrestling as a sport, don’t refer to what you see on TV like the WWE and RAW. Real wrestling is one of the oldest competitive sports where it is also a sport in the Olympics. Interestingly, there are 2 types of wrestling that the Olympics recognize- the Greco Roman and the freestyle. The different between the two is that in the Greco Roman style legs are not used to lift of trip the opponent.

For an athlete like a wrestler, the shoes are one of the most important gears they should have. It supports their feet and gives comfort as they tackle their opponent.

Wrestlers only want the best for their feet so they prefer a product of high quality. Usually, a wrestling shoes last for a year or two depending on how many times they use and beat the shoes on the mat.
For beginners, the price range of the wrestling shoes they should buy are from $50 to $75. It is not a good idea to buy the shoes more than $100 because they are still learning the basics of the sport and at some point the shoes gets beaten down as they practice often. On the other hand for pro and advanced wrestlers, they can buy shoes that cost more than $100 because they need better quality wrestling shoes especially when competing. (more…)

If you’re a fan of WWE or the World Wrestling Entertainment, then you must know Steve Austin, (better known as “Stone Cold”) and you must know him damn well, because it really isn’t hard to sense what kind of attitude he has and what kind of a wrestler he is. But if you say you don’t know him, then you are NOT a real WWE fan. Shame on you.

Stone Cold is the walking alcohol-gut that acknowledges no rules. You might have seen him once entering the stadium riding his ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) or his black 3:16 monster truck. But he is more than just a beer-guzzling menace; Stone Cold is a living legend. He is the rock superstar of the WWE, and more than that. So let me give you a rundown of simple facts about the famous Rattlesnake. (more…)

The Attitude Era is one of the best eras in the world of professional wrestling, I’m sure many of you would agree to that statement. And I am absolutely and positively sure that an epoch’s worth of today’s professional wrestling can ever replace, surpass or be equivalent with what once was the Attitude Era.

So what actually is the attitude era and why was it so great? The Attitude Era is a period of time in the WWE (then WWF or World Wrestling Federation) wherein hell was raised to be the best in the industry and mainly to compete over television rating against WCW (World Championship Wrestling). The said era (Attitude Era) made pro-wrestling fans habituated to nothing but the best, I feel that Attitude Era spoiled many fans (including myself), to the extent that its quite hard to let go of it even in memory, like the way you can’t forget your first real kiss, or that time Mick Foley clapped your hand as he made his entrance. Let me give you a few simple reasons why the Attitude Era is simply the best era in the world of Professional Wrestling. (more…)

If you are like me who got hooked into watching WWE at a young age (which was then WWF), then you know there is a difference to what was wrestling then in WWF as compared to what is wrestling today in WWE. If you know what I am talking about then you probably are a kid who grew up matured side-by-side with the famous Attitude Era of the WWE. As an avid fan of the said era, I couldn’t help but feel nostalgic of what was once the greatest era for wrestling, I long to watch WWE in TV and wait for the goose bumps and intoxicating excitement to kick in, but I end up feeling as if I was left hanging, disappointed, when I watch today’s WWE. I am not saying that today’s WWE is a total misfit or failure, I’m just saying that it just isn’t the same, and isn’t as good as it was before.  I guess everything changed when WWE decided to cater to children’s wrestling needs, (as if they had wrestling needs at all). In 2008, The World Wrestling federation settled to achieve a TV-PG rating, which means their show’s quality, has to be in a way that the younger viewers can watch without their youthful innocence being corrupted. since then, WWE went on a totally different path; there were no more blood baths or bloody fights nor there were any REAL fight going on. Everything shifted into t a more family-friendly show, so there weren’t any points wherein my Dad would cover my eyes, which was just lame. (more…)
