Cm Punk proves that he is the best in the world when it comes to selling, Sheamus and Dolph Ziggler have a cracking non title match on Smackdown and the Raw Rating suffers without the presence of John Cena. Here is a look at the best and some of the worse stuff from the past week of WWE programming.
Wrestler of the week: Cm Punk
The long standing wwe champion was announced on Raw as the cover boy for the WWE 13 videogame on Raw and justified the decision with two solid in ring performances over the past week. The match with Daniel Bryan on Raw was not a patch on their classic from Over the Limit and used more as an angle to escalate tension with Kane and develop the relationship between Punk and Aj. It still however featured some excellent exchanges from two men who have superb chemistry and...

TMZ.com has reported that the criminal charges recent filed against Scott Hall for domestic violence have been dropped. Hall was arrested on April 6th after he allegedly grabbed his girlfriend by the throat in a drunken state and dragged her out of the car.
Scott’s attorney told TMZ that any charges that were filed against Scott were dismissed and/or rejected by the prosecutor due to insufficient evidence.
Scott Hall’s girlfriend has refused to press charges and Scott himself has continually denied the allegations.
While Hall has spent many years battling his demons, it was last year at an independent event that showed Hall in one of his darkest hours. Arriving at the show an incoherent mess, Hall was unable to walk completely unaided and was slurring his words. Footage of Hall at the event immediately drew anger against the promoter who allowed him to go out...

Melbourne train operator Metro Trains has launched a new campaign to encourage footy fans to get the train to games, rather than drive.
Chloe Alsop, marketing manager Metro Trains, said: “Every seasoned football fan knows the pain involved in driving to a footy match in Melbourne. At Metro we’re constantly improving the train service in Melbourne, not just for weekday commuters but also for all major public events, especially the footy. We’re very proud that we could partner with the Afl and the footy clubs to bring this campaign to life.”
John Mescall, Ecd of McCann, the agency behind the campaign, added: “This is an exciting campaign in a couple of ways. Firstly, we Melbournians turn up to the footy in mind-bogglingly huge numbers, and it’s nice to be able to acknowledge the fact that (despite the odd grumble) Metro does a bloody good job of getting us there and home again.

On Scott Hall’s official YouTube channel, a new video has been posted featuring his friend Larry Zbysko taking part in an independent match out in Florida. Before the match, a video graphic appears on the screen that reads;
“Quick update on Scott Hall, he’s doing very well in rehab and will be evaluated for his release soon. WWE has been monitoring his stay so you may see him on another channel soon.”
Does this mean Scott Hall is likely to show up on WWE television any time soon? That seems unlikely as with Hall’s condition there really isn’t much the WWE could do with him for anything, even considerably less than they were able to do with his old tag team partner Kevin Nash last year. Certainly no match program.
Hall has not worked for the WWE since his few months stint at the beginning of...

Finally in the UK – WWE 12 is released today and the big surprise inclusion is the ability to play as former WWE Champion, the Next Big Thing, Brock Lesnar. Brock is one of my favourite WWE performers of all time. Coming in as a power house with a push as big as Goldberg in WCW, this was a guy who was able to actually perform in the ring and yet he was still an athletic rookie before evolving into one of history’s best technical match-having monster and headlining Wrestlemania within a year of being in the company.
Yes, Kurt Angle and The Undertaker would win their first title within a year of debuting but neither of them would headline Wrestlemania (the true sign that you are on top… especially back then) for years after their debuts. And what amazes me the most is that Brock Lesnar was only in WWE...

So sue me, I'm a wrestling fan. I first got into what WWE head cheese Vince McMahon prefers to call 'sports entertainment' these days way back in the early 1990s, in the era of (then) established stars like Hulk Hogan, Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake, 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper, 'Million Dollar Man' Ted Dibiase, Mr Perfect, Big Bossman and a colourful, gravel throated character known as the 'Macho Man, aka Mr Randy Savage.
Born Randall Mario Poffo in 1952, Savage was a supernova among stars in the WWF roster, a character so much larger than life that even the red and yellow machismo machine that was Hulk Hogan struggled to match him in the charisma stakes.
Coming from athletic stock (his father Angelo Poffo, a well known wrestler in his own right in the 1950s and 60s who at one point held the World Sit Up record), Savage initially aspired to be a baseball player,...

What do you get when you cross an Olympic champion, a Rhino, and a Shark Boy? Tna iMPACT: Cross The Line. June 29th brings hope that someone will finally make a good handheld wrestling game.
Wrestling games have long been one of my favorite genres. From WCW vs. nWo: World Tour to WWF No Mercy to the WWE Smackdown vs. Raw series, even to the Def Jam games, the one thing that has been lacking in wrestling has been a great portable game.
The recent attempts by WWE to bring wrestling have left fans waiting. The only handheld wrestling game I remember being even half decent was Fire Pro Wrestling on GameBoy Advance. However, unlike Fire Pro Wrestling, Tna iMPACT: Cross The Line won’t have a super in depth create-a-wrestler, which was one of Fire Pro’s big draws.
Since Hulk Hogan is the main partner in Tna wrestling,...
