REVIEW: New Blood Rising: Yes, It Can Get Worse

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over twelve years now and have reviewed over 6,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net. It could be anything from modern WWE to old school to indies to anything in between. Note that I rate using letters instead of stars and I don’t rate matches under three minutes as really, how good or bad can something that short be? New Blood Rising Date: August 13, 2000 Location: Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Attendance: 6,614 Commentators: Scott Hudson, Tony Schiavone, Mark Madden I’m really not sure what to say about this one. It’s borderline legendary in how horrible it is due to the levels of Russo pumped into it with one match in particular. I’ve seen this show a few times before and every time I watch it I can’t believe what I’m seeing. There’s no way around this so let’s get to it. First and foremost: is there..

REVIEW: WrestleMania 31: The Forgotten Classic

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over ten years now and have reviewed over 5,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net, starting today. It could be anything from modern WWE to old school to indies to anything in between. Note that I rate using letters instead of stars and I don’t rate matches under three minutes as really, how good or bad can something that short be? Wrestlemania XXXI Date: March 29, 2015 Location: Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, California Attendance: 76,976 Commentators: Michael Cole, John Bradshaw Layfield, Jerry Lawler This is an interesting show as most people really weren’t looking forward to it. The card isn’t that bad on paper but the interest is still low. Reigns vs. Lesnar isn’t the most exciting main event and the idea of HHH vs. Sting as a regular match is borderline terrifying. The show has surprised me before though so let’s get to it. ..

Can Brock Lesnar Still Appear At WrestleMania 36?

Can you define essential? The wrestling world is in a very strange place at the moment and it isn’t something that we have ever really seen before. As a result, it is not clear where things are going to go on a day to day basis, which presents a problem as WrestleMania 36 is only about two weeks away. With that show coming, everything needs to be as right as possible, but that might not be the case. As you might have guessed, Brock Lesnar is going to be featured in a prominent role at this year’s WrestleMania. Lesnar is the reigning WWE Champion and will be defending his title against Royal Rumble winner Drew McIntyre. That is the kind of match that could easily headline the show, but it turns out that there might be something standing in the way of the match taking place as planned. Earlier this week, the United States and Canada agreed to close the border between the countries to all non-essential traffic. This presents a potential problem for Lesnar, who lives in Canada and might ..

Moose Thinks Rob Gronkowski Could Succeed In Pro Wrestling

Impact Wrestling's Moose was interviewed by Wrestling Epicenter's Interactive Wrestling Radio. You can see the full interview above, and see highlights below. Don Callis and Scott D'Amore's stint in charge of Impact Wrestling thus far: "Great, man! Scott D'Amore and Don (Callis) and Sonjay (Dutt) are doing a great job running the show. I'm happy to be a part of it." Impact Wrestling returning to the road with their recent co-shows with Big Time Wrestling and Border City Wrestling: "I think that is what Impact has been missing - Hitting the road a little bit. The last couple of shows we've done have been sell outs. That shows what the company can do when we leave the Impact Zone. I'm glad that we're starting to tour a little bit more." Football players like himself and Rob Gronkowski being drawn into professional wrestling: "I mean, I think it is an easier transition to get into professional wrestling from football. I think (Rob) Gronkowsk..
